Chapter 531: Extraordinary under the scientific worldview...is also science!
Marveling at the prowess of Zhou Qing and the others, Li Ke quickly gathered her thoughts and raised her hand to press on the side of the soul guide searchlight installed on the exploration hat.
Suddenly, a white light shone out from the lamp mouth, and the diffusion range of the light could be adjusted by stretching the distance of the lamp mouth.
It is small enough to form a thin line the size of a fist, illuminating nearly three hundred meters away.
It is large and can form a bright area. Especially when the first floor is in darkness, this soul guide searchlight is like a small sun.
"Oops, I opened the wrong one. I need to use my soul power sparingly."
Riko quickly turned off the searchlight, then pressed another button on the explorer's hat, and the searchlight lit up again. This time the light was much weaker than before, but it was enough for lighting.
Zhou Qing also keenly noticed that this time the light did not have any fluctuations in soul power, it seemed to be glowing naturally.
The only energy source that can be used to emit light is soul power, and this time——
Could it be electricity?
And doesn’t this soul guide searchlight have two lighting systems installed?
Tang San, who was most sensitive to soul guides, was not like Zhou Qing who only thought about it in his mind, but asked directly: "This time the light didn't seem to use soul power?"
"The soul power in the soul guide energy storage device must be used sparingly, and my own soul power is not enough, so the soul guide searchlight must be used at the critical moment."
As Rico walked into the cave, she explained to Tang San, "The light emitted by the soul searchlight now uses the electricity released by the battery."
电？
Except for Zhou Qing, everyone else, including Tang San, fell silent.
The residents of Abyss Town are nothing special in their cultivation, but they have been able to control the energy of "thunder and lightning" and use it in daily life?
Tang San wanted to get to the bottom of it, but he was worried that it was someone else's family secret and he couldn't ask about it. For a moment, he felt a little itchy.
Li Ke saw that he was hesitant to speak, so she asked curiously, "Don't people in the outside world control electricity?"
Tang San:"······"
Realizing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Zhou Qing spoke up and said, "Maybe it's because we outsiders like fighting spirits, that is, fighting, so we don't have the time or energy to study the knowledge related to electricity."
"Oh."
Liko nodded her head, naively believing this statement, and then explained, "In fact, electricity is not a secret. For example, the battery I mentioned is to put two different metals into a liquid that can corrode the metals, such as acid water or alkaline water, and then connect the two ends of the metal to get a discharge device. The general principle of discharge is-"
"Metals that are easily corroded will generate electricity, called electrons, and transfer to the side of the metal that is not easily corroded. That's right, electricity will only be generated if they are connected together. Otherwise, they will only corrode quickly. And the metal materials must not be the same."
"The side that produces electrons is called the negative electrode, and the side that accepts electrons is called the positive electrode."
"Why put it in a liquid that can corrode metals? Because during the corrosion process, the two positive and negative components in the corrosive liquid will go to different metals respectively, thus allowing the electricity to form a cycle."
Because there were some unfamiliar words in Riko's description, Tang San was unable to recover for a short time.
Romantina, Xiao Wu, and Wang Sheng were all confused and didn't know what was going on.
What are positive and negative poles?
What are the two components of a corrosive solution that differ in positive and negative terms?
They know nothing at all!
Especially the latter, it is obviously an acid water or an alkaline water, there should only be one ingredient in it, why are there two?
Is there a positive and negative difference?
But Zhou Qing was different, he understood it completely, and the chemical reaction formula of the primary battery forgotten in the corner of his memory was constantly impacting his brain - Oh my God!
This Douluo Continent really talks about science!
It is indeed a planetary cosmic worldview!
Now Zhou Qing has absolute reason to doubt:
The technology used in this abyss relic may not only be a system based on soul power, but it is very likely to also include a scientific system established under the modern scientific perspective.
Tang San was the second one to react.
It’s not that he also understands the principle of converting chemical energy into electrical energy under modern science, but that he was a Taoist and knew the theory of yin and yang in his previous life.
That is, all things are evolved from the two energies of yin and yang.
Inheriting the simple concepts left by the predecessors when they explored the world, it was not too difficult for Tang San to understand that an acid or a base was composed of two different, smaller substances, "positive" and "negative", and that metals might be composed of only a single "yin" or a single "yang".
[When the yin and yang energies flow and form a cycle, it is possible to release energy, which is used to evolve all things...]
Tang San's thoughts have shifted to the origin of the world.
After a while, the group reached the end of the cave, where there was a huge entrance. An iron ladder was installed on the side close to the rock wall, which was obviously left by previous explorers.
Zhou Qing wanted to go down first, but was stopped by Li Ke, who said, "I am your guide. How can I let a guest go down first? I have to go. If there is danger, you can run away first."
Seeing this, Zhou Qing didn't force it. He just focused his attention and watched her click.
Rico grabbed the ladder and climbed down, followed by Zhou Qing, then Romantina and Xiao Wu, then Wang Sheng, and finally Tang San.
"Speaking of which, the first floor is 500 meters from the ground. How far is the second floor from the ground?" Xiao Wu asked Riko who was crawling at the bottom.
"One thousand meters."
After answering, Riko also described the distances of all the floors that have been explored so far from the ground. "The third floor is two kilometers from the ground, the fourth floor is four kilometers, the fifth floor is eight kilometers, the sixth floor is sixteen kilometers, and the seventh floor is thirty-two kilometers."
"Extended times?" Tang San was surprised after hearing this. "Doesn't this mean that the twelfth floor is 1,024,000 meters away from the ground?"
"That's the speculation, but we still have to explore it to be sure of its exact depth." Riko said seriously.
As we descended nearly three hundred meters, the space below gradually opened up and there was light. It was not like the darkness of the first layer, but it didn't seem to be daytime either. Instead, it was a gray and cloudy sky.
Riko also turned off the searchlight at this time, and looked down. All she saw was woods, and a thick layer of fog.
It can be foreseen that once entering, the visible range will be only 20 to 30 meters at most.
"This is the second layer of the Abyss Ruins. Nearly seven-tenths of the area is rainy all year round. The air is very humid, and it is called the Misty Forest."
According to what she had learned, Li Ke described the situation on the second floor to Zhou Qing and others, "On this second floor, there are all kinds of ferocious creatures, and there is even a strange bird that can imitate the crying of a little girl to attract people to explore, and then surround and hunt people..."
