1.1607 Shipwreck Bay

Because the entire surface is covered with forests, the remains of human civilization have long been flooded by vines and tree roots, and there is no need to explore. It is confirmed that the Tokyo base of the umbrella no longer exists, Wu Chen immediately took Ferosa and Alice 1049 to the shipwreck Bay on a little blackbird.

The so-called shipwreck bay was the arc-shaped Mariana Trench before the wooden catastrophe.

Before the seawater was sucked dry by the corpse tree (Boom tree), almost the entire Asia-Pacific sea ship was stranded here. A high-tech ship that was fortunate to be solidified in huge crystals and isolated from the world and able to maintain its own operation successfully escaped the catastrophe of wood. Among them is the doomsday scientific research ship with a protective umbrella: the "Acadia".

Alice 1049 insisted on going to Tokyo Bay first, but now it seems that she wants to send the "biochemical cocoon" in the LNG tank to the "Acadia" as soon as possible.

The search for "Tokyo (nuclear explosion) pit" did not make Wu Chen wait too long. Alice 1049 acted as a human navigation and led the little black bird across Japan Island and into the shipwreck Bay.

"Look, Wu Chen. Those white deposits hanging on the salt crystal cliff are the largest source of crystal water." Alice 1049 acted as a tour guide with excitement on her face: "It is also very simple to deal with. You can collect precious crystal water as long as you keep heating."

"Erwater gypsum is heated and dehydrated." Wu Chen certainly understood the principle.

In fact, the surface temperature generated by natural light cannot dehydrate dihydrate gypsum. Only when the temperature reaches 65℃, the crystallized water will be released, but the dehydration speed is slower. As the temperature rises, the dehydration speed gradually increases. At around 107℃, the dehydration speed quickly becomes faster, while at 170-190℃, the dihydrate gypsum dehydrates quickly as "a-semi-water gypsum" or "β-semi-water gypsum". When the temperature continues to rise to 220℃ and 320-360℃, the semi-water gypsum continues to dehydrate and becomes a soluble anhydrous gypsum.

"Think about it, 500 grams of dihydrate gypsum contains up to 200 grams of water, which is almost the largest source of crystallization water that can be collected." Alice 1049 laughed loudly and said, "Of course, it's still not as good as our blue mine!"

"500 grams of cobalt chloride hexahydrate contains 300 grams of water." Wu Chen completely agreed.

Under normal circumstances, adults need to consume about 2,000 ml of water every day, including intake from drinking water and food. In other words, 5,000 grams of dihydrate gypsum can meet the needs of an adult, which is a 25 kilogram of "white mine". Just knock a piece from the deposit and carry it home, and it can meet the water required throughout the day. This work from collection to dehydration can be easily completed by one person.

In addition, the "recycled water circulation system" is collected, and the filtered urine and other water are converted into reusable "recycled water". Therefore, the supply of crystallized water can fully meet the needs of all survivors of the entire shipwreck bay shelter.

In order to prevent "water marks from being exposed", the entire shipwreck bay "solidified" in thick salt crystals, leaving only the necessary vents. It is like an underground creature living under the "crystal dome", avoiding the hunting of the thunder beasts.

Thanks to the concentrated to toxic supply of oxygen, hypoxia is almost an issue that is not necessary to consider.

Bypassing a crystalline underwater mountain range, the most spectacular image of the doomsday suddenly jumped into your eyes.

"Wow..." Even though he was born in a magnificent sea of ​​sand and was used to the bizarre and unpredictable scenes after the Doomsday Catastrophe, Ferosa, the Queen of the Castle "Raging Girl", was still shocked by the scene in front of him.

I saw the sea salt crystals that were undulating and shining, as if a huge dragon ridge was crawling on the seabed surrounded by cliffs on both sides. Inside the transparent crystals, ships of large and small, stacked like ships frozen in ice crystals were clearly visible with the perspective of flying lights.

Although there is no trace of human beings, those obviously transformed hulls are full of traces of survival in the end.

Wu Chen even saw a flight deck full of abandoned ships, and the logo of the US Pacific Fleet aircraft carrier battle group before the Doomsday. However, it has now become a huge garbage dump. The construction style of "giant ships are underneath, small ships are piled up; spanning front and back, mixing left and right" is also the architectural feature of the entire shipwreck Bay.

Among them, there are some "infected hulls" covered by vines and plants. Without exception, there are signs of protective umbrellas. It is said that between the "Raccoon City Incident" and the 10 years from the 10 years since the "Raccoon City Incident" and the Wood Cataclysm, the remaining governments and organizations, including protective umbrellas, have been trying every means to save humanity. Although they all ended in failure, many failed products after many attempts have also become relics of life.

For example, these "infected hulls" were once a mobile sea shelter specially converted from various large cruise ships.

"As they join the zombie ecosystem, aren't they afraid?" This is the question of the heroine who belongs to the castle queen "Raging Girl" Ferosa.

"Look, if you can't change all this, you have to learn to adapt." Alice 1049 shrugged: "And I have also said before that the rules of the ecology of Bum have not been found yet. As you can see, these hulls infected in the Wood Cataclysm have not had a second infection event after the Cataclysm."

"Huh?" Wu Chen saw many glowing crystals on one of the "infected hulls" covered with vines: "What is that?"

"A crystal similar to 'resin'." Alice 1049 blurted out: "We call it 'Bom Crystal'."

Crystals flowing out of tree trunks are usually formed by secreted juice. The formation of these crystals is related to the self-protection mechanism of plants. When the plant is damaged, juice will flow out of the surface of branches and in some cases condense into transparent crystals. For example, the juice flowing out of peach trees can form amber crystals, which is not uncommon in nature. They can help seal wounds and prevent infection, and are also a way for plants to adapt to the environment.

"We call it 'Amber'." Wu Chen's eyes of true vision, which flashed and destroyed, had already seen through the clues.

Amber is a transparent biological fossil. It is a resin fossil dripping from plants such as the Pineaceae, the Yunshi family, and the Araucaria family. It is buried underground for tens of millions of years and is petrified under the action of pressure and heat. Some of them are covered with small insects such as bees, which are very strange.

"Ah, that's OK." Alice 1049 nodded slightly: "The latest research has found that the 'Bom Crystal' contains a powerful 'gene energy'. This seems to be the only operating rule that has been captured and observed by humans in the entire 'Bom Cycle'."

"You mean, the storm tree will eventually generate crystals." Wu Chen felt that he was getting closer and closer to the super biochemical attack of the Iron Gaman mecha system under the Radam ecology of the alien advanced creature in "Dipoway, the Universe Knight" in "The Legend of the World".

"It's not a tree, it's a vine." Alice 1049 corrected: "I guess the difference between the two is that the tree will bloom and bear fruit."
