Sword and Magic and Taxi

Zhao Mai's hair burned with blue flames, and the light illuminated the entire tunnel. When clearing the tunnel, he used his psychic powers to squeeze and strengthen the surrounding soil and rocks, which was definitely much more stable than before. But the earthquake changed many things.

Dad, watch your step. I'm not sure now about the relationship between my abilities and earthquakes, so I try not to use them, especially those that change the geology and landforms. Therefore, there may be landslides here at any time, so don't leave my side.

That's not called geology and landforms...Forget it, you're not studying this major, so it's useless to tell you so much. I know you are capable of protecting me, and besides, my old arms and legs can't run fast, so I won't We've gone far, won't you catch up? Father Zhao glanced at the blue flames and said worriedly: Son, is it hot on your head?

This flame has no temperature, it's just a manifestation of luminescence. If you don't believe me, touch it. Zhao Mai lowered his head and let his father's big hand pass through the blue flame. Haha, it's really like this. The old man felt particularly novel. He inserted his fingers into Zhao Mai's hair and rubbed it, watching the firelight swaying. You have really changed. But I am still very surprised. How did you learn so many skills in more than two years? Is there a ghost or some reincarnation of a spirit boy?

How do you and your mother know how I was born? I am just an ordinary person, I just have better luck and work very hard. And most of my efforts are forced, and I am quite lazy. Unexpectedly, slowly working hard will become a habit, and I will no longer be tired. Zhao Mai used the force of nature to create more breathable air, and at the same time did not delay speaking: Dad, in fact, I have been away from home for more than two years. The flow of time Speed ​​is relative. I have lived outside for a long time, a very long time. Fortunately, my age is frozen and I will not grow old at all.

How long? Decades? A hundred years? Could it be a thousand years? Father Zhao's frown deepened.

I don't know how long it will take. The concept of time is a little blurry sometimes. Zhao Mai pointed to his head and said: I learned the method of mind control of matter. Of course, it can also be used to protect my mind. In order not to I drove myself crazy, and I have been trying to protect my most primitive mental state, so I am still 29 years old and have not become an old man.

It's unimaginable, it's unimaginable. It's better not to tell your mother, she won't be able to bear it. By the way, do the relevant ministries and commissions know about these things?

Some of them know, but most of them don't know. They don't want to ask too detailed questions, and I don't want to tell the truth. I have more of a cooperative relationship with them, and we have only gotten closer recently. In the past, I have always been worried, such as being caught and sliced ​​into slices. Through slowly understanding and being cautious step by step, I gradually built up trust.

I don't understand. Why don't you and the relevant ministries and commissions have so much magical power but don't use it? If you help transport the earth and stone, wouldn't the Three Gorges be completed many years ahead of schedule?

Dad, to ordinary people, I am like a psychedelic drug. It seems that it can solve everything, but dependence cannot be solved. My personal ability is strong, but I may not always be right. I can change the earth Putting myself in danger of almost extinction to save my family and friends. Do you think a person like me should appear? When will humans stop spiritually worshiping superhuman beings like me, only if we are a choice, or even As a tool, I can come to the forefront. Now, I am the means of nuclear deterrence and security.

If this is your choice, that's fine. You are promising, you are promising... Father Zhao patted his son on the shoulder, stepped over the gravel on the ground, and walked forward slowly.

This lead-zinc mine has been excavated for a period of time, so some basic equipment is available. Among the wreckage at the feet of the two men, fragments of the conveyor belt channel could also be seen. There is a very steep shaft in front, with steps for transporting people and a motor crane for pulling goods. Going down is the working surface. But looking at the situation, I'm afraid it's unlikely to be preserved. If you take us flying, you won't Will it affect the surrounding environment?”

Don't worry, I'm under control. Zhao Mai helped his father and quickly arrived at the shaft. The slope here is 80 degrees, making it difficult for ordinary people to get up and down. Originally, an elevator was supposed to be installed, but in order to save money, some handrails were installed on the wall. People walked on them, and the goods were circulated up and down with a bucket. I tried that bucket. Because each loading bucket arrived It has to stop at the top, and the ore is manually poured onto the conveyor belt, so the whole system stops and goes, just shaking in the bucket, and it is better to climb the stairs.”

I didn't expect you to have such an experience. Why didn't I hear you say it?

It's quite good here. Some places are really done by manpower. Can you do it if I ask you to do it? Besides, we have made a lot of progress now. What's the use of telling you this? You will only think that I am an old antique.

No way, I have to say it face to face. Zhao Mai took one of his father's arms to lift him up, and then flew down lightly. Reserve Liang jumped up and accurately jumped onto Zhao Mai's back, grabbing his shoulders with ease.

Look, this is a dislocation caused by an earthquake. It's obvious, right? Father Zhao pointed at the rock wall. Zhao Mai couldn't quite understand, so he could only say yes repeatedly. They descended all the way to the bottom of the pit. The siltation below has not had time to be cleared, so for them, there is no way out for the time being.

What, it wasn't me who caused the earthquake, was it?

Yes, it shouldn't be you. I don't see any connection between the excavation work here and the earthquake. You cleared out the collapsed and buried parts in the past, and I also saw signs of reinforcement of the walls. If this can also cause If there is an earthquake, then if you dig a well in the farmland, the island country will sink.

Then I'll keep digging?

Father Zhao thought for a while and shook his head. Son, can you use magic to create particularly low-frequency vibrations? Try starting from 20 Hz.

Well, I know a spell that can directly cause earthquakes.

Nonsense! Do you want to cause a geological disaster?! Dad Zhao snorted: I think you were able to warn before the earthquake arrived. There must be some way to hear the echo underground. The stronger the earthquake, the lower the frequency. You Start trying from the highest 20 Hz, lower the energy, and listen to the feedback below. If you feel the frequency suddenly drops or the amplitude increases, tell me immediately.

Dad, are you using me as a seismic wave detector?

I said that I need the support of relevant ministries and commissions to provide professional equipment. You said that it would be fine with you and that those things would not be needed! Why, your own strength is still not as good as the wisdom of the people, right?

Zhao Mai opened his mouth. In fact, he was indeed able to fulfill his father's request. Echo detection and vibration perception were not difficult for him. But at this time, he must give in and get a good education, otherwise his father will definitely think of other ways to make things difficult for him until he is sure that he understands this truth. In order to avoid future trouble, Zhao Mai pretended to give it a try, then helplessly accepted the failure and flew back with everyone.
