Paintings of Terror

Fortunately, there was no movement on the interface until He Tang swam to the opposite side.

"Can you hear it over there?" Ke Xun called out to the other side.

"Yes!" He Tang's voice sounded farther than what he actually saw, very faint, but barely audible.

"Look in the hole at the exit, can you see anything?" Ke Xun shouted.

He Tang turned his head and looked into the terribly dark hole, shuddered a few times, and shook his head at Ke Xun: "I can't see it, it's too dark!"

"Okay, then you can change your clothes. Let's turn our backs and call us when you are done."

He Tang took off his wet bottoming shirt, put on the coat wrapped in Ke Xun's waterproof coat, and greeted him.

Ke Xun and Zhu Haowen turned around and looked at each other, Ke Xun said: "Then let's try the method of freezing water, let's start."

Zhu Haowen nodded, waiting for Ke Xun to operate, but saw Ke Xun looking at him: "You come, you come, I don't know what the law specifically says."

Zhu Haowen was speechless, feeling that this kid must be thinking about something else, so he didn't care about it for now, he clicked on the operation interface in front of him, and a dialog box popped up from the book icon, which read: [Please tell me the content of the law you want to apply 】.

"Under standard atmospheric pressure, water will freeze below zero." Zhu Haowen tried to say.

A line of words flashed at the bottom of the dialog box: [The law is passed.Please go to the item box to select the item you want to use. 】

Zhu Haowen clicked on the box-shaped icon, and a dialog box also popped up, which read: 【Please tell me the name of the item you want to use. 】

Seeing that Zhu Haowen didn't move for a moment, Ke Xun quickly asked: "What's wrong?" Zhu Haowen's interface can also be seen in the interface in front of him, and the interface of the same group can be shared.

Zhu Haowen turned to look at him: "We have overlooked an important issue, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, no matter what kind of props we use, it will take a long time to completely freeze this unknown depth of pool. It takes a long time, but our time is very limited. The time flow in this painting is different from that in the real world. If the time here is disordered and chaotic, it may not be long until night, and if the night passes We can't get through the pool, and what awaits us may be death."

"Then just ask for a piece of ice," Ke Xun said, "We don't need to freeze the entire pond, we just need to freeze a piece of ice that is big enough to hold a person. This person sits on the ice and uses his hands Paddle across."

Zhu Haowen couldn't help secretly praising Ke Xun for his quick thinking, so he said to the box-shaped dialog box, "Ice."

A box-shaped dialog box displays a line of words: ["Ice" is a load, which violates the requirements and will not be approved. 】

"Hey, hey, ice comes from the solidification of water, which is equivalent to using water, why is it against the rules?!" Ke Xun was surprised, "Besides, this is completely different from swimming, and it doesn't violate the requirements at all. ah."

Zhu Haowen thought for a while, then turned to the box-shaped dialog box again and said, "I want the ice from the water in the pool."

The requirement of the topic is that the load "except for the water in the pool" is not allowed to be used, so if it is not for the ice in the water in the pool, it is probably not allowed to be used.

The box-shaped dialog box displays: [The existing substances in the room cannot be extracted and provided as props. 】

Zhu Haowen frowned, but Ke Xun was unexpectedly calm, scratched his ear with his fingertips, and thoughtfully said: "This reminder is a bit interesting, if the ice in the pool doesn't work, it stands to reason that it should be the same as before. Prompted violations, rejected, but now it says it can not be extracted, there is no ice in this room, the extraction it said means that water cannot be extracted, and then made into ice in its item box, and then provided for us, Do you think that's what it means?"

Zhu Haowen frowned slightly, and nodded: "Yes, so the meaning is probably that the ice made from the water in the pool may not violate the regulations, it just can't extract the water in the pool to make ice, so - we can ask for the ice to make ice Props, use the water in the pool to make ice yourself."

"That's right!" Ke Xun snapped his fingers, "Look for an ice machine with a large capacity!"

Zhu Haowen then said to the box-shaped dialog box, "Large-capacity ice machine."

A box-shaped dialog box displays a line of words: ["Large-capacity ice machine" is a mechanical group with a complex structure. Please go back to the rule book and state the rules it applies to in turn. 】

"Fuck!" Ke Xun couldn't help cursing, "This is so shameless, it has the final say when you co-author it! It really echoes the saying that is often said on the Internet-I said your refrigerator is not easy to use , don’t you have to learn how to make a refrigerator before you can say it? Why? If we want to use a block of ice, we must first know how to make a refrigerator. Why don’t we have to draw the structure diagram and write the chemical formula of the ice maker later? .”

"No way," Zhu Haowen said, "Since the rules include hypotheses, we won't be asked to write chemical formulas or make diagrams, because the hypotheses may not necessarily hold true."

"Then do you know the laws applied to the ice machine?" Ke Xun asked him.

Zhu Haowen glanced at him: "I'm only from the Department of Computer Science."

Ke Xun squatted down and drew a circle: "I never thought that I would be tested after entering the painting. This world is not going to be better. Is a scumbag not worthy of living?"

Hearing this, Zhu Haowen was thoughtful: "This is a bit like the survival of the fittest adopted by some schools for the classification of students. Through examinations or usual academic performance, students are divided into good and bad. Students are assigned to one class, students with poor grades are assigned to one class, good students are given special attention, and poor students are left to fend for themselves.”

Ke Xun nodded: "That's how our class is. Before the college entrance examination, there are good and bad classes. Although there is no class before the high school entrance examination, the teacher will arrange the good students in the front row of the classroom, and throw all the poor students to the back row. I am a sports special. Enrollment, the teacher basically thinks that I don’t exist. My buddy is poor at learning and was thrown to the last row at that time. Take care of you."

Zhu Haowen guessed that maybe it was because he was treated as non-existent by the teacher, which delayed his clever mind.Said in the mouth: "Some schools and even parents think that grades represent everything, and it is even more extreme in this painting. The 'students' who do well in the 'test' can live, and the 'students' who do not do well in the 'test' You can only die. This is probably another extreme satire of the education system by the program."

"His resentment is really serious." Ke Xun raised his eyes and looked at the sluggish surface of the pool, "but it's not incomprehensible, after all, his son died on it."

Zhu Haowen was silent for a moment, and then said: "No, maybe in reality, Cheng Xie and his son didn't have such deep resentment or extreme thoughts, it was all exaggerated and magnified by the power behind the painting.

"If we say that all the painters of the paintings we have entered, the resentment they put into the painting is only equivalent to a short cannon lead, then the resentment reflected in the painting is the cannon body connected by the cannon lead.

"After the gun is ignited, there will only be a very small spark, but it is connected to the gun body behind it, and a small spark can cause a loud noise and destructive force that can hurt people.

"So, I feel that the painters of every painting are being used as 'cannons'. What is really disgusting is the cannon body created by the forces behind the painting.

"Don't think about this problem now. We have to find a way to pass this level as soon as possible. I know the general principle of the ice machine, compression, condensation, throttling, evaporation, and repeated cycles, but the specific steps are more detailed. I don't know."

"Try it first, if it doesn't work, let's think of another way." Ke Xun stood up.

According to Zhu Haowen's words, he returned to the page of the rule book, and explained all the knowledge points he knew about the principle of refrigeration. However, there were still a few links missing, and it was impossible to form a complete set of refrigeration equipment.

Ke Xun scratched his head: "Do you think this painting is a little too deliberately embarrassing, and the restriction of not allowing the use of vehicle props is too deliberate."

Zhu Haowen said: "The resentment rendered in the painting is so extreme, it is an infinitely exaggerated and extreme re-creation of the formal resentment.

"The derived intention is probably: Since the school always makes students learn and apply these principles and laws rigidly, it is too dogmatic, and ignores flexible practice and practical applicability, as if everything can be solved as long as the rules are memorized. Yes, it simply refuses to allow the painter to use all the props that can directly solve the problem in the painting, and only gives us these laws, let us use the rules and relatively simple props to solve all the problems.

"The simple props of these auxiliary laws are only equivalent to the beakers, glass rods, alcohol lamps, etc. used by students in experiments, and it is impossible to say that using beakers directly can achieve the purpose of a complex experiment.

"When he painted this painting, the programming was already crazy. In his chaotic thinking system at that time, it was impossible to organize such a dialectical and logical thing, so we speculated just now, these extremes are almost unreasonable. The resentment is all processed and amplified by the behind-the-scenes forces of the painting, and a second creation has been carried out."

"Wait--beaker glass rod..." Ke Xun raised his eyebrows, as if thinking of something, he pondered for a while, his eyes lit up, "You reminded me! Can saltpeter make ice?"

Zhu Haowen's eyes also lit up: "The effect of ammonium nitrate can be better. It seems that you are not a scumbag."

Ke Xun smiled and rolled his eyes: "The making of ice with saltpeter is what I happened to see in a post on the Internet about how the ancients made ice drinks. I also planned to try to make shaved ice with the ancient method, but because I couldn't buy it Ammonium nitrate just gave up."

Zhu Haowen: "..." So it was for eating.

The two didn't delay any longer, and immediately entered the operation page. The law of "ammonium nitrate absorbs a lot of heat when dissolved in water can make water freeze" was passed, and a large amount of ammonium nitrate powder, basins, and containers for scooping water were obtained.

——This kind of simple props that do not have complicated principles and operability can be provided by the prop box.

There are large and small basins, the big one looks like a large round bathtub, and the small one looks like a single-person bathtub.Fortunately, as long as they don't come to the pool, the item box seems to be able to basically meet the needs of the two and provide them with the items they want-of course, some substances in the room cannot be provided as items.

Fill two large basins with water using a ladle container, put the small basin into the large basin, and then pour it into the large basin according to the amount of water and ammonium nitrate powder.

In the process of cooling and making ice, Zhu Haowen suddenly received a request for help. Since the help function can only be targeted at individuals, his interface cannot be shared with Ke Xun at the moment, and his voice is also blocked, and only the person who asks for help can hear it. get.

Ke Xun waited by the side for a while, finally saw Zhu Haowen's eyes fell, and asked him, "Who is asking for help?"

"Luo Kuo, he and Deng Lin are in a group, and the two of them encountered some difficulties." Zhu Haowen said.

"Is it solved?" Ke Xun asked.

"It's resolved." Zhu Haowen said.

Ke Xun didn't ask carefully, and pointed to the ice that had already formed in the basin: "Make two more pieces, so as not to melt in the middle of the stroke and become unbearable."

The two of them spent some more time making three big and thick pieces of ice. Ke Xun said to Zhu Haowen, "Okay, you go there, be careful."

Zhu Haowen looked at him: "You go there first, I'll go there by floating in salt water."

Ke Xun smiled: "Your water skills are not good, so stop talking, hurry over, the ice will melt in a while."

Zhu Haowen: "Can you speak the law?"

Ke Xun: "Why can't I—salt water is more buoyant than fresh water, how simple! Hurry up."

Zhu Haowen: "What if I can't use this method? Floating in salt water is almost the same as swimming. What if it's not possible?"

Ke Xun: "Then you can help me find a way when you get to the opposite side." He lifted his foot and kicked a few pieces of ice into the pool, and then wrapped Zhu Haowen's arms around him to prevent him from struggling, and directly pinned him down on ice.

Zhu Haowen frowned helplessly, and after glancing at him, he had no choice but to sit on the ice on his knees, paddle the water with both hands, and slowly float towards the opposite side of the pool with the other two ice floes.

After Zhu Haowen successfully arrived at the opposite side, Ke Xun also got the salt and poured it into the pool water continuously. Take off your clothes and get ready to go into the water to feel the buoyancy for yourself.

Unexpectedly, just after he got into the water, a warning popped up on the interface, and a line of bright red text kept jumping and flashing: [Warning——The operation is illegal, please cancel it as soon as possible!30 seconds countdown! 】

Ke Xun quickly crawled out of the pool, wiped the water off his face, and looked across.

Zhu Haowen on the opposite side frowned and stared at this side.

Sure enough, the method of floating by buoyancy in salt water was not recognized, and it was judged to be the same method as swimming.
