Everyone at the scene thought so, except Roland, who looked solemn.
Regardless of why increasing oxygen concentration freezes the world, under the regulation of the ecosystem, that is, the cycle between animals and plants, the oxygen content in the atmosphere is always maintained in a relatively stable state, even if someone develops a method to promote the growth of plants. , the growth rate of animals will automatically increase accordingly, offsetting the increase in oxygen concentration caused by the growth of plants - this is natural science common sense that all primary school students in Alfheim know.
But now we have just experienced the baptism of a high-heat shock wave. Except for a few surviving plants and trees growing around the railway embankment and protected by the "Wall of Sighs", the surrounding area is completely a charred desert. In this case, the oxygen concentration is actually high. It can turn a cigarette into a torch and allow the body to recover from fatigue. This is really an extremely abnormal phenomenon.
If there is anything around that can quickly produce high-concentration oxygen, the only one is——
"Is it made by the Boiling Mirror Realm?"
"That's right, using temperature differences to decompose gases and change the atmospheric environment is the specialty of the Boiling Mirror World. Now that it has only multiplied to such a large scale, it can significantly increase the oxygen concentration. If multiple points start to multiply at the same time, and the erosion range is wider, If it’s big, one month is more than enough.”
"You guy...!!"
"Excuse me."
Favna interrupted the conversation between Li Lin and Roland, raised her hand and asked.
"Can you two explain it in a language we can understand?"
"Too."
Li Lin nodded apologetically and spread his hands towards the audience who looked puzzled.
"As you all know, the temperature of the world is not constant. Affected by various objective changes, the climate will undergo subtle changes in the four seasons. After sorting out various changes, the natural factors that affect temperature can be roughly divided into the following categories: sunlight; Plate movement; atmospheric composition.”
Sunlight and plate movement have the most direct impact on temperature. Many mass extinctions of organisms in ancient times were caused by these two factors. In the era of advanced science, there are still residents of the universe dropping mass bombs on the earth, or Launch a nuclear war and use radiation smoke to cover the sky and cool the earth. As for the composition of the atmosphere, most people have heard about the greenhouse effect and the climate abnormalities caused. But I am afraid not many people know. When the oxygen concentration on the planet’s surface Abnormally high levels of carbon dioxide will cause terrible disasters.
"Miss Saint, you should have seen a glass greenhouse? It isolates cold wind, penetrates sunlight, and prevents heat from dissipating. Even in the cold winter, flowers can grow and bloom normally. But for the creatures in this world, the carbon dioxide suspended in the atmosphere It’s the glass window that protects you from the cold wind. I don’t think there is any need to explain what will happen if this window is removed.”
Ji Air's ever-maintaining smile became stiff, and Favna pursed her lips and remained silent.
They generally understood why Roland's expression changed.
"But--"
Roland frowned and retorted.
"Even if the oxygen concentration is increased, diluting carbon dioxide still requires a process, and it is impossible to do this in a month."
"Okay, just rely on the boiling mirror world."
Li Lin made an unequivocal assertion.
"Don't confuse inorganic life with plants that rely on photosynthesis to produce oxygen. They can convert themselves into forms with liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen as the main components according to needs. Using ultra-low temperature of minus 196 degrees to cool compressed air, oxygen and nitrogen will be the most Evaporate first, and the final product left behind is dry ice - solid carbon dioxide. Use this process to continuously separate carbon dioxide, increase the oxygen concentration, and then bury the dry ice deep underground. The replacement of atmospheric components will proceed very quickly. This is only the land part. , if it were an island...you shouldn’t have forgotten the molecular formula of water?”
"Dihydrogen monoxide (h2o)..."
"Exactly, it will be enough to significantly increase the oxygen concentration by decomposing seawater. Within a month, the lowest temperature on the earth's surface will drop to minus 152 degrees. From the Arctic Sea, the equator, to the south, the entire world will be covered in ice and snow.
cover."
Just like the Earth during the Huron Ice Age and the Karoo Ice Age, those two ice ages were formed due to the Great Oxidation Event, with a combined time span of 400 million years. In comparison, the asteroid crash and nuclear war that wiped out the dinosaurs caused
The nuclear winter is nothing short of gentle.
"After most of the living creatures are extinct, the dry ice stored underground will be revaporized by the Boiling Mirror Realm, and the environment will be restored again. The newly purified world will become vibrant again, which is gratifying and gratifying."
This is another advantage of the Boiling Mirror World: it is controllable. It is more economical and environmentally friendly than planting mushrooms all over the world, smashing the earth with big rocks, and the environment is restored much faster.
He was chosen to become the agent of the planet's will on this planet. This ability is also an important factor.
After reading the memory of the planet, Li Lin discovered that before him, the Mother Goddess had also sought transcendent guardians from other planets. Among them were big crystal spiders that could turn into UFOs; they fired cross-ray cannons from the sky to the ground.
the cross; the black gas giant that releases super-high temperature from its whole body; the carnivorous flora floating in the sky and seeding all over the world... Facing these "same kind" who together look like monsters and aliens holding a conference, even Li Lin felt that he still had wings.
The birdman is more suitable for the title of "apostle".
Although their appearance is a little strange, the "angels" are not weak in strength. Each of them has the powerful power to wipe out all living things on a planet, and some of them have a glorious record of crushing several intelligent life forms that have mastered advanced civilizations.
But the Mother Goddess chose him in the end, largely because he was better at controlling power and could exterminate all living things with minimal damage to the planet itself. This was something that agents from other planets could hardly do.
"Speaking of which...hey?"
After narrating all the explanations, Li Lin looked around again. Apart from Roland's tense face, he only saw a bunch of incomprehensible expressions.
"What's wrong? Didn't I make it clear enough?"
"Uh... I'm sorry, I don't quite understand. Can you say it again?"
Fafnir scratched her cheek in embarrassment, Ji'el also looked confused, and Azdahaka interrupted with a sneer.
"So, it's all your fault, Mr. 'Everything's wrong in this world'."
"Is it my fault?"
Sighing, Li Lin's smile did not change at all.
"Forget it, then I will use a more intuitive teaching method."
The cane lightly tapped the iron sheet under his feet, and there was a "dang" sound, and the surrounding area became pitch black.
It was not night, nor was it the darkness of a closed space. It was boundless and endless. Even the light felt too far away and illusory. The void that would suck away all the heat from the body was dotted with bright spots that would not flicker.
In the darkness, a blue light flashed under his feet, and the earth shrouded in blue gauze appeared in front of him. While he was marveling at the scenery in front of him, a spindle-shaped black crystal hanging high above the earth came into view. Kulu
Dio, Zazbalum, Fermian... a total of 37 landing pods were all pointing towards the earth. After each ejected small flames and adjusted their posture, the landing pods fell towards the ground together.
The egg-shaped object at the tail of the landing module ejected luminous particles, approaching the ground at an unusual acceleration, and the tip touched the atmosphere. The high heat generated by friction turned into a bright red umbrella-shaped heat wave, wrapping the landing module and sinking into the atmosphere.
The 3,000-ton fire arrow accelerated to a speed of 80 kilometers per second.
inside, tearing apart the atmosphere and falling to the ground, which is equivalent to detonating 3 million tons of explosives at the same time and releasing them in an instant. The high-heat shock wave swept through forests, plains, mountains, and cities. Millions of people were carbonized without even having time to feel the pain, and were blown away by the shock wave.
Without a trace. The building collapsed and fires broke out...
After using the kinetic energy of the fall to clean up the scene, the inorganic life forms took root deeply underground, rapidly expanded their power, formed complex populations underground, and established a three-dimensional structure. They used funnel-shaped deep pits to create turbulence and suck air into the ground at the bottom.
In the liquid nitrogen lake, the pure oxygen separated after cooling and compression is released into the atmosphere, while a large amount of dry ice is buried deep underground.
During this process, the hot air continues to rise, while the cold air continues to sink, eventually forming a huge tornado with a height of more than 15,000 kilometers and reaching the stratosphere. While greatly accelerating the air replacement process, it also prompts the ground to begin to cool down. It is obviously midsummer.
The ground was already covered with knee-deep snow. It had only been a week since the landing module fell, and the temperature in various places had dropped to minus 10 degrees.
Two weeks after the crash, armies holding high battle flags appeared on the horizon. Although the cause of the meteorological anomaly was not yet understood, various countries had regarded the expanding inorganic life forms as the most dangerous enemies and sent troops to attack them. However, those
In order to kill similar carbon organic creatures
The weapons that were created were just interesting toys to the inorganic lifeforms, and those who wielded those toys were a sumptuous meal. In just half a day, the mighty and majestic army had disappeared, with only one or two bodies barely remaining in human form.
The black diamond sculpture proves what happened.
Tornadoes in various places are becoming more and more intense. Inorganic creatures that have fallen into the sea are working at full speed to separate and restore seawater. Ocean currents and monsoons are disrupted, and they interact with multiple giant tornadoes to trigger super-giant low pressure, which eventually turns into a tornado that can cover half of the world.
Super large table
The wind, sand, dust, ice and snow on the ground were sucked into the sky, forming clouds that blocked the sky and the sun. The cooling rate further accelerated, agriculture was completely destroyed, and famine occurred everywhere. Under the ice and snow of minus 50 degrees, hunger and cold were everywhere.
Dead body.
Entering the third week, there are not many greenhouse gases left in the atmosphere, and the strong ice house effect begins to take effect. The temperature in the equatorial region is close to minus 80 degrees, the oceans begin to freeze on a large scale, the snow turns into thick ice sheets, and the sunlight is frozen
Reflected by the atmosphere, the cooling rate is further accelerated. At this time, the remaining intelligent life in the world is less than three digits, and most of the animals and creatures have become extinct. Only inorganic life is still controlling atmospheric changes in an orderly manner.
In the fourth week, all the land and oceans at the poles and the equator are covered by ice, and the surface temperature drops to minus 152 degrees. Except for a small group of biota living around submarine volcanoes in the deep sea, all other organic life is wiped out. The blue sky that was originally full of noise
The world became silent, leaving only a dead look, and a dark white covering the entire world——
when--!
The sound of the cane tapping the ground echoed in my ears. After the crisp sound, the frozen world, the illusion of death, and the violent disaster all disappeared from my eyes.
"Now everyone should have no doubts?"
He leaned on his cane and asked the pale-faced girls with a gentle smile. His elegant demeanor was the same as before. At this moment, there was only fear and awe in their eyes.
"This is……"
"Relaxing the conclusions of simulation deductions directly in the mind in the form of hallucinations is more intuitive and more impressive than textual descriptions. The only problem is that it is difficult to elaborate on the principles."
"That's a very kind explanation. Then you tell us this...what's the point of it?"
"Of course it makes sense."
Turning the cane flexibly, Li Lin smiled calmly at Ji Aier.
"This is to deepen our understanding of our position and prevent anyone from being hot-headed and doing stupid things that push the whole world into despair."
"...!!"
"I believe Miss Saint also knows that the following actions are aimed at maintaining a certain degree of balance in the world and preventing the world from falling into an extreme state and causing collapse."
The church was also born for this purpose, but as the years passed, the original purpose of its establishment was gradually forgotten. The framework within the organization began to loosen, and the signs of decay within the organization became more and more obvious.
The church's own position and interests take precedence over doctrine and the entrustment of the Mother Goddess. This increasingly common idea among church leaders is the most obvious sign. At present, it can continue to perform some functions according to inertia. It can be left to its own devices.
The result of development is the shaken world order.
"The church, the kingdom, humans, and the orcs all have their own positions and interests. It is not surprising that conflicts arise from this. It can even be said to meet the needs to a certain extent. But if anyone wants to deviate from the established framework and mechanism,
For example, if you use agents of divine will to conquer the world, you will have to take final measures - the ones you just saw - to prevent the harm from expanding. Ms. Ji Air, after listening to this, do you still think that the previous invitation is valid?
Is it meaningful?”
The mask of calm began to crack. After understanding the true meaning of Li Lin's words, unconcealable fear and anger were revealed from Ji Air's forcedly calm face.
This is an undisguised threat and a warning that no one can ignore. As long as this black-haired man wants to do it, the illusion just now will definitely become a reality, and all living things in the world will be engulfed by the extreme cold.
"What I am protecting is the world, and you have to make a choice when you have to. Fortunately, although the speech just now was inappropriate, it has not really triggered the 'world reset'. I hope that this kind of ill-considered action will not happen again."
Come down... let's settle the accounts, Azdahaka."
With a sudden wave of his right hand, the lightning rolled up an energy vortex, and the particle beam ran along the ground like a huge blade, bursting out other flashes of light.
The roar and airflow of the explosion spread, and the air expanded rapidly under the high-temperature beam. The smoke dissipated, leaving dark red claw marks on the ground in the distance, and lava flowing at the bottom of the ravine.
With just a random strike, the terrain can be changed, no, even created. Things that are difficult to achieve even with the most advanced strategic attack magic, Li Lin accomplished with a wave of his hand.
The aftermath of high heat stirs the atmosphere, and violent winds sweep around.
"I don't have the habit of warning again and again. For the sake of your own life and the life of others, Miss Ji Air, I advise you to be more honest."
Standing in the strong wind, as motionless as the breeze blowing on his body, Li Lin dropped the sarcasm and threw the saint girl aside with a hesitant expression.
"To be honest, I don't have much interest in torture, torture, and the like. Those who say I'm a beast or a sadist are really misunderstandings. Look at me, look into my eyes, do I seem to take pleasure in other people's pain?"
The extremely sincere speech made people want to believe it. Looking at Li Lin's serious expression, even Favna couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.
"However, an organization like this will collapse if there are no rules and disciplines to restrain it. Although I don't want to, it is still necessary to punish the rebels as cruelly as possible. On the way here, I have been
Thinking about what
What kind of execution is suitable for you, and can it match this burgundy dress? One million volts of electric shock? Put a long, thick, black and shiny gun into your mouth, stir it up and then smash your brain? Finally, think about it.
, I chose the most suitable method for you who think you are aloof."
His fingers flexibly turned the cane, and in the blink of an eye the cane turned into a whip. With a swipe, the whip drew a beautiful arc and landed accurately on Azdahaka's crotch.
Snap——!!
Amidst the crisp cracking sound, a blood-curdling scream shot straight into the sky. Azdahaka, who was almost unconscious, clutched his legs tightly and fell on the carriage twitching continuously.
"Sure enough, 'The Whip of Love' is the most suitable, don't you think so? The 'lonely' Azdahaka... eh? What do you want to do?"
Facing Roland who was blocking him, Li Lin asked. (To be continued...)
