Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Chen Weizheng and Liu Yi decided to travel to the South Pole after handing over their daughter, Xian Hua, to their grandmother, Li Jing. Liu Yi had to break through to the Meridian Opening stage through this round of cultivation. As for Chen Weizheng, it would be much more difficult. He had to absorb the Frigid Ice Qi of the Polar Regions, especially the Frigid Ice Qi. Chen Weizheng considered the Water Qi of the Five Elements to be a saint.
The South Pole was the last continent on Earth to be discovered, and it was the only continent without human habitation. The entire South Pole was covered by a huge ice sheet. The total area of the South Pole was 13.9 million square kilometers, which was equivalent to the area of China and the Indian Subcontinent combined.
Chen Weizheng tried to find a foothold near the South Pole, but it was too difficult. The wind was strong, and the mountains were steep. There was nowhere to go. At the very least, he couldn't stand on the surface. Even if he could, he couldn't gather Qi, let alone condense it. Liu Yi was still the most comfortable. Chen Weizheng's Finger Moving was her safest harbor. Once she entered the Finger Moving, she began to meditate. Chen Weizheng gave her some spiritual energy and ignored her. It seemed that there was no suspense in breaking through to the Meridian Opening Stage.
Since there was no way to stand on the surface, they went underground. Chen Weizheng took out a drill rod that he used in the Kra Isthmus and shot it into the ice. Instantly, a hole of about 10 centimeters appeared on the ice. It was unknown how deep it was. Chen Weizheng let the Finger Moving enter the hole and soon reached the drill rod. It was about 30 meters deep. Chen Weizheng retracted part of the surrounding ice into the Finger Moving and created a space of about 15 cubic meters under the ice. Then, he walked out of the Finger Moving and entered the space of ice and snow.
Black. That was the first thing he felt. Under the ice, there was no light. It was not as clear as the legends said. It was no different from an underground cave. However, there was a burst of cold air that pricked him like needles.
After Chen Weizheng got used to it, he began to collect the water vapor in the ice. The sudden absorption made Chen Weizheng's entire body tremble. It was too cold! It was bone-chilling. Soon, his body was frozen stiff. Before he could move, Chen Weizheng moved his fingers in a flash. His whole body was still trembling violently.
Seeing Chen Weizheng in such a sorry state, the word 'stupid' appeared on the screen. The many 'stupid' words formed various patterns and changed on the screen. Chen Weizheng walked to the screen with an embarrassed smile, knowing that he had made a fool of himself again.
The screen told Chen Weizheng that metal, wood, and earth were the three solid forms of existence, water was the liquid form, and fire represented the gaseous state and the ionic state. These were the basic elements that made up the world. Lightning was a phenomenon, and ice was a change. They were not the basic elements, nor were they the extension of the five elements. Some people said that the extension of fire was thunder, and the extension of water was ice. This was completely wrong. Wind was classified as wood, and thunder was classified as metal. Coming to the ice to ask for water vapor was completely based on imagination. It was a little self-righteous.
Chen Weizheng laughed, his old face red. Knowing that he had made a mistake, he was ready to leave. The screen told him to collect one or two hundred cubes of ice before leaving. Chen Weizheng quickly collected three or four hundred cubes of ice. Almost half of the ice in the finger was filled.
Coming out of the small hole, the screen asked him to find a place with a higher temperature. Chen Weizheng chose the Sahara Desert in Africa. In the center of the desert, the screen asked Chen Weizheng to send out the collected ice so that it would melt naturally.
The temperature was close to sixty degrees, so the ice melted very quickly. In less than three hours, except for the ground that was still a little wet, there was no ice left. At this time, a small pale white crystal that was slightly bigger than a peanut suddenly appeared in the finger. Chen Weizheng picked it up and looked at it. It was a little like a fossil and a little like jade. The temperature was not very low, about ten degrees Celsius. Holding it in his hand, it was cool and very comfortable. The screen asked Chen Weizheng to walk out of the finger and walk around the area where the ice melted, just like how he picked up the Sky Jewels in the Yarlung Zangbo River Canyon.
Chen Weizheng walked out of the finger and realized that this job was not easy. It was quite torturous. Because the temperature outside was too high, he could not even breathe, let alone walk on it. Under the sun, the water that melted the ice turned into moisture and rose. Chen Weizheng walked a few steps and was completely wet. He could not tell whether it was moisture or sweat.
There was no other way. He had to walk whether it was easy or not. First, he got an umbrella in the finger. Although it was not very useful, it would help as much as possible. After walking for a whole hour, he finally finished walking around the melted area. Once he was done, Chen Weizheng flashed into the finger and sat on the ground. He was panting and sweating profusely. He was just short of sticking out his tongue like a shameless dog.
Before he could catch his breath, his gaze was attracted by the small table under the screen. He rolled and crawled to the screen. On the small table were the small pale white crystals that he saw before. There was a big pile, almost a hundred of them.
Holding one of them, he looked at the screen and asked, "What is this?"
"This is the Ice Soul Crystal." The screen knew that this thing was too mysterious for Chen Weizheng, so it showed more information. "In layman's terms, it is a fossil of ice. There are many of them under the Antarctic Continent, but this thing takes a very long time to form. It takes millions of years to form."
"Will it melt at normal temperature?"
"No. Although it is ice, it is already a fossil. This thing is not very useful. It can be made into a string of beads and can be worn as a bracelet or necklace. It can bring you a sense of coolness at all times and can remove the anxiety in your heart during cultivation. It is a tool that a cultivator should have."
Chen Weizheng chuckled and told the screen that he understood. Actually, what he wanted to know the most was where he could get the water vapor of the five elements.
The screen knew what he was thinking and said, "Water is the densest when it is at 4 ° C. As long as you have water at 4 ° C, the efficiency of collecting water vapor will be ten times higher than normal water. "
"Why is water at its densest when it is at 4 ° C?" Chen Weizheng became a curious child at this moment.
Generally, the higher the temperature, the lower the density. When the temperature dropped, the density increased. However, the density of water was different. When the temperature was higher than 4 ° C, the density decreased as the temperature increased. When the temperature was lower than 4 ° C, the density increased as the temperature increased. When the temperature was lower than 4 ° C, the density of water increased. When the temperature was at 4 ° C, the density of water was at its highest.
When the temperature of water was at its highest, the density of water was at its highest. This was due to the special structure of hydrogen bonds between water molecules. According to recent X-ray research, it was proved that ice had a tetrahedral crystal structure. This tetrahedron was formed by hydrogen bonds and was an open relaxed structure. Because five water molecules could not occupy all the volume of the tetrahedron, the hydrogen bonds in the ice connected these tetrahedrons and made them into a whole. This kind of directional and orderly arrangement formed by hydrogen bonds had a small space utilization, which was about 34%, so the density of ice was relatively low.
When water dissolves, it breaks down a large number of hydrogen bonds, making the whole into tetrahedron groups and sporadic smaller "water molecule groups" (i.e., some associated molecules formed by hydrogen bond association). Liquid water is not completely orderly like ice, but has a certain degree of disorder, that is, the distance between water molecules is not fixed like ice, and H2O molecules can enter from one tetrahedron microcrystal to another microcrystal. This way, the space between the molecules decreased and the density increased.
When the temperature increased, the tetrahedral group of water molecules was constantly destroyed, and the disorder of the molecules increased, increasing the density. But at the same time, the thermal movement between the molecules also increased the distance between the molecules, causing the density to decrease. These two contradictory factors reached a balance at 4 ° C, so the density of water was at its highest at 4 ° C. After 4 ° C, the thermal movement of the molecules caused the distance between the molecules to increase, and the density of water began to decrease again.
Chen Weizheng did not look at it, but after looking at it, he completely crashed.
However, he knew a truth. At 4 ° C, the density of water was at its highest. As long as there was a lot of water at 4 ° C, he would get twice the result with half the effort. As for how to get water at 4 ° C, he could go to the Eastern Development Zone and ask the technicians to make a thermostatic refrigerator.
"You'd better add an appropriate amount of pebble powder to the water, it will make your gas collection more effective," the screen said.
"What's the ratio?"
"Less first, more later." The screen said, "First, the 12v that you configured, do not exceed 60v at most. As for the specific amount, it depends on your physical condition."
Coming out of the mobile finger, Chen Weizheng came to the Eastern Development Zone of Fu Nan. Accompanied by Governor Chen Qiancheng, he walked into the laboratory of Zhongnan Refrigeration Equipment Company, which was moved by Toshiba Refrigeration. When the name was changed, some people thought that Zhongnan Refrigeration sounded like Shina Refrigeration, which had a historical shadow and could not be used. It was Chen Weizheng who stood his ground and thought that it could be used. Zhongnan was Zhongnan, and Shina was Shina. There was no need to be far-fetched. Even if it was directly called Shina Refrigeration, there was no problem. As a historical name, it could not be avoided or even erased a historical memory. A country and a nation must mature. There was no need to be so childish and fragile forever. The ability to withstand was like a thin gauze, it would be broken with a poke. Once it was broken, it would scream. Like an uneducated rural woman, whoever took a piece of firewood from her, she would scold them from the streets to the streets.
Zhongnan Refrigeration Equipment Company treated this matter as a political mission. The experts from Toshiba also flew to the Eastern Industrial Zone to provide advice. In less than half a month, the samples were produced. Chen Weizheng was very grateful to them and allocated a special fund. However, Zhongnan Refrigeration Equipment Company refused. The chairman, Du Bianxiong, said that as a citizen of Shin Myung Province, he was very grateful to the King for taking him in. Zhongnan Refrigeration Equipment Company was a company that knew how to repay kindness. He hoped that the King could give the company a chance to repay him. This was the company's gratitude to the King. It was not a political mission, nor was it a flattery. It was the duty of a person. From a business perspective, for the King to give such a mission, it was the trust of the company, the recognition of the company, and the promotion of the company. If this matter was used to hype up the company, the advertising benefits would far exceed the cost of developing the equipment. To put it bluntly, if they took the King's money, the products of Zhongnan Refrigeration Equipment Company would not be able to sell in Shin Myung Province. They hoped that the King would agree.
Chen Weizheng had to give up. He told them that they could use this matter to hype up the company. The King's image was insignificant in the face of the company's interests.
Although they did not know what Chen Weizheng was going to use this thing for, the refrigeration machine that used 240v DC as the power source, in the form of a piece of art, was sent to the Longshan City Palace.
