"Young man, do you know why the smog layer exists? Why does the smog layer surround our entire planet? Why does it persist all year round, even replacing land and sea, becoming the new surface of the earth?" After giving out the reward, Fang Buping He introduced the patriarch and elders of the Purgatory clan to Wuyou Zhizhi respectively, and sent her to communicate with these people and accept the task. Then he turned around and spoke to Wei Bubing very seriously. "It should be because of air pollution, extremely tiny dust particles float into the air with the disturbance of air flow" Wei Buying replied hesitantly. Although this is a game world, some background settings are still very scientific. So Wei Bubing hesitates because this is obviously not an accurate answer. If this is the truth, there are too many things that go against common sense that cannot be answered. As expected, Fang Buping was slightly disappointed after hearing this: "That's it? Is this all your understanding of the haze layer?" "Let me remind you. Since you have chosen planting as your major, you will definitely know something about the evolution of living things. . Let me ask you, in the first 2 billion years of the birth of life on earth, what kind of creatures withstood the harsh environment of the earth at first, slowly decomposed and solidified the high concentration of carbon and sulfur oxides in the atmosphere, and finally transformed it into what it is today. An atmospheric environment suitable for us to breathe and live? " This is the difficulty of learning business skills. From time to time, the skills instructor will ask you some questions related to the subject, which is equivalent to a random exam. If you answer the question correctly, your favorability will be increased and your skills will be increased. If you answer the question incorrectly, your favorability will be deducted and your skills will be deducted. It's not the corresponding major in reality, and the skill points that increase every day are often not enough to be deducted like this. Fortunately, Wei Bu Bing has a brain control chip. He can access information at any time, and these problems do not trouble him. "But even without a brain control chip, this question is still common sense, and it is easy to answer: "It's plankton." "Yes, it's plankton." Fang Buping clapped his hands hard. Looking at the old man¡¯s shining eyes, Wei Bubing suddenly understood what he meant and couldn¡¯t believe it: ¡°You mean, this haze layer is composed of plankton?¡± What is plankton? You can tell by the name, it's floating. Swimming organisms are a mixture of algae, bacteria, jellyfish, krill and other organisms that live in the water and drift with the current. ??Can those flying in the sky still be called plankton? It seemed that Wei Bubing¡¯s doubts were visible. Of course it is. The director's line was designed like this, and Fang Buping said casually: "Why can't it be plankton?" "With the catastrophe, the radiation intensified, and the environment deteriorated sharply, many creatures have mutated, with the widest distribution and the largest number. , and the plankton that has survived the longest on the earth has also undergone mutation. Isn't this strange? " "Of course, the mutation may be natural. It may also be artificially induced. In short" The old man spread his hands. "But, how, how could it happen?" Wei Bubing couldn't hide his doubts. The vast majority of plankton live in water. Of course, there are a very few, such as bacteria attached to suspended matter, that can float in the air. But after all, they are denser than air. Even if they are blown to the sky by the wind for a while, they will eventually settle down as time goes by and the wind weakens. Although the time may be extremely long, it may even last for several years, but after all it is impossible for it to last all year long and keep hovering like this. Moreover, as mentioned before, the air density in haze areas is hundreds of times the density of normal air and a fraction of the density of water. According to the simplest laws of physics, they should sink to the ground and then come up with fresher air, right? "It's simple, because they have evolved the ability to fly." The ability to fly? Can plankton also evolve the ability to fly? Do not make jokes? Living things have evolved for hundreds of millions of years from ancient times to the present. Although pure flight capabilities have evolved independently from dragonflies to bats to birds, they all rely on aerodynamic principles to move with the size of plankton. It is impossible to evolve a stable flight ability with this ability; Even if the haze layer constructed with this kind of flight ability should never be like this, unless they have other ways to obtain buoyancy. Looking at the expectant eyes of the old man Fang Buping, Wei Bubing suddenly felt blessed: "Could it be that they obtained the energy to resist gravity with the help of the earth's magnetic field?" A relatively stable energy source that can cover the world, day and night, There are not many, and the Earth¡¯s magnetic field is undoubtedly one of them. This also explains the reason why electronic signals in the haze layer cannot penetrate. If the haze layer is entirely composed of plankton suspended by the power of the earth's magnetic field, it is obviously impossible for electromagnetic signals to penetrate through. In the process, the energy will be swallowed up by the plankton that feed on it. "Some people may wonder that according to the direction of the earth's magnetic poles, there should be no force that can levitate living things. The direction is simply wrong. This is because we don¡¯t understand the setting of the wasteland world. According to Wei Bubing¡¯s little understanding of the world setting, one of the biggest impacts of the cataclysm on the earth is that the energy in the earth¡¯s core increases rapidly and the rotation speed of the earth¡¯s core is accelerated. This not only intensifies the crustal activity on the earth's surface, but also makes the originally stable earth's magnetic field become abnormally chaotic. The Earth¡¯s magnetic poles are no longer in their original direction. Instead, they are divided into several complex and changeable magnetic poles, which rotate very fast. There seem to be various movements of swallowing, merging, or falling apart before each other. In short, the earth¡¯s magnetic field that was gentle and stable before and could indicate the direction is no longer there. Instead, there is a violent new magnetic field that is rapidly rotating and unpredictable. The changing magnetic field produces an electric field, which is an important reason why the weather on the earth's surface changes three times a day after the catastrophe, making it moody. At the same time, this also provides a theoretical basis for plankton to obtain energy through the earth's magnetic field and float in the air. "You got the answer right!" The old man slapped Wei Buying hard on the shoulder, deeply impressed by this student's spirituality. At the same time, a series of system prompts sounded. Your good relationship with Fang Buping has improved by xx points, your planting skills have improved by xx points, your xxxx has improved by xx Is this okay? Wei Buyu's mouth twitched. Fang Buping thought to himself and said: "Plankton has evolved a suspension system based on magnetism. As you know, in addition to magnetic monopoles, magnets have two poles and are naturally attracted to each other" "Magnetic plankton Rapidly reproducing, the population becomes larger and larger; the larger the population, the stronger the magnetic field formed by aggregation, which is more conducive to their survival and reproduction" "After the survival of the fittest in the environment, they will eventually survive on the surface. The distance between 300 meters and 3,000 meters forms a stable biome layer" "It is also an extremely dense and unreasonable haze layer." "It is too low for sunlight, charged particle flow and the universe. The rays cannot penetrate and it is difficult to obtain energy replenishment; the air is too thin in places that are too high, and it is difficult for plankton to survive" "This layer of haze isolates the electronic signals from the world below to the sea of ??clouds, but it also stabilizes the chaotic world. The earth's magnetic field. The earth's surface is still maintained by a relatively stable magnetic field to block the blowing of the solar wind" "At the same time, plankton will also swallow up the suspended pollution dust, volcanic ash, human industrial waste gas, etc. carried in the air at this altitude. "When they are alive, they can only rely on these things to form the magnetic levitation device in their bodies; when they die, they will lose their levitation ability and sink to the ground." "In this way, they continue to sink. Purifying the earth's atmosphere" "It's just like they participated in the evolution of the earth billions of years ago when the earth was still in its infancy" "It's strange why I told you. That¡¯s a lot, right? Let¡¯s get to the point soon. ¡°My lifelong ideal is to grow food that humans need wherever possible so that no one in the world will starve to death.¡± The smog is entirely composed of plankton, so isn¡¯t that the problem solved? ¡°Plankton is a very important food source in this era. Many plankton are directly edible; even if they are not edible, they can become edible after being processed in some way. Not to mention that among plankton, there are also things like krill that have the highest protein content, are both nutritious and delicious. If the smog layer is really made of plankton, is it simply a pile of food covering the earth? "But it is a pity that the plankton in the haze need to absorb suspended matter to form their suspension. They are rich in various heavy metal particles and cannot be processed and eaten at all, unless a lot of energy is wasted in extraction" "But in that case The efficiency is low, it is better to just plant other crops" "But everything has exceptions. Plankton are the real bottom of the biological chain, even if they can fly, they are no exception. All living things, including animals and plants, depend on it.??Provide food. " "The vast majority of organisms have evolved the ability to adapt to this harsh food source, and utilize the concentrated heavy metal ions in their bodies to produce special abilities such as light, electricity, and magnetism. " "But I believe that there must be some creatures that have evolved the ability to purify. They can excrete various toxic substances adsorbed from plankton in their own way, retaining the clean and usable parts. " "No matter how this ability is achieved, no matter whether such creatures can be directly eaten, as long as we can find one, even if it is poisonous, it will be a huge progress for cultivating crops that can be grown in the haze layer. ! ¡°Recently, I have detected unusual disturbances in heavy metal ions from the erupting species of this steam volcano. " "I believe that around this active volcano, there is a high probability that there will be the crops I am looking for. Boy, are you willing to help me? " Of course I am willing! Wei Bu Bing must have agreed wholeheartedly. But before he could say anything, Bu Chou had already visited the entire cave Unknowingly, this place was actually a volcanic cave, and the cave was filled with haze. " Brother and sister The two walked along the cavity of the bubble, and unknowingly entered the cave without knowing it. "Brother, you are rich!" We are developed! "Bu Worry finished walking around the cave. After talking to every NPC he could talk to, he came to the old man and said happily, "Hey. Brother, haven't you finished speaking yet? " "Yeah, just listen to the old man's no, no, no" There were a few people nearby who were very interested in this novel journey of the brothers and sisters. They were watching all the way. They didn't worry about it after hearing this. Wei Bubing clicked the confirmation option: "It's still quite interesting, don't you think? " Don't worry about not seeing it. Without the right to speak, the onlookers just curled their lips and said: "Where is the fun? " As soon as he finished speaking, Master Fang Buping laughed loudly: "Very good! very nice! People tend to nag when they get old. You can listen to my old guy's nagging from beginning to end. You are not impatient or impatient, nor angry nor angry. You are a teachable child! " "Dang Dang Dang Dang". Accompanied by the sound of a series of copper coins falling into the bag. Your good relationship with Fang Buping has increased by xx points. Your planting skills have increased by xx points, and your xxxx has increased by xx Several teams gathered around to watch the party hear the sound. Hiding your face and leaving without such a slap in the face! "Hey, don't go, don't go, this matter has something to do with everyone. "Buyou quickly reached out to greet them? Everyone then remembered that Wuyou had just shouted happily that they were going to be developed. "What is developed? Even if there are any good things, their current roles are not at all?" With He stopped in doubt. Hearing this, he was stunned. ¡°Nani? this. This, here is actually a new copy! " "Sister, are you kidding me? " "This new version has been open for almost two months. Is there any undiscovered copy here? " No one has ever played it, or even discovered it. Since the game was launched, a new copy has appeared for the first time? Such a copy must be grabbed! A copy is like a treasure house. You suddenly enter a treasure house that has been dusty for a long time. , there are a dazzling array of treasures inside, everything can dazzle your eyes. As time goes on, and as the number of players who clear the level continues to increase, the treasures will slowly be unearthed, and the benefits from playing dungeons will slowly come in. The equilibrium period. This is the setting of the wasteland game. The stage before the treasure house is just opened is commonly known as the wasteland development period. It is always a difficult reward for the wasteland development. The first team to clear the level can always win. Get the best rewards. Basically, as long as there is a chance for a good item to drop from the boss in the dungeon, no matter how low the drop rate is, no matter how rare it is, one or two items will always drop during the land reclamation period. If it drops next time, you won¡¯t know how long it will be Not only that, but at some point, better things than the set ones will drop, so even if you are just a small five-player version, the development period is definitely worth looking forward to. You know, from the time the game was launched to the present, there are only a few hundred dungeons, and nearly half of these dungeons were discovered as early as the level 10 era when the first area was opened. With each version update, several new copies will be opened as a rule. But everyone knows this setting. As soon as a new map is opened, it will flood in on a large scale, and then search for it in the sky and the earth. When it is discovered, they will rush forward. . As a result, the so-called land reclamation period has basically been shortened from the first few days or even longer to a few minutes or even an hour. You are unlucky, you are on the wrong map, and you can¡¯t even get there to get a share of the pie It¡¯s so intense! Under such circumstances, the brother and sister were able to find a complete, unopened copy. This was incredible luck! There is a lot of discussion at the moment about how to make the most of this land reclamation period and strive to gain greater benefits. Although the official setting of Wasteland has never been revealed, according to the understanding of Wasteland players themselves, opening up wasteland is like drawing a grand prize. There are 100 prizes in total, first come first served, last come first served. The further you go, the greater the chance of winning. As time goes by, the chance becomes lower and lower until all the places are drawn. These 100 copies are not just mentioned casually, but are estimated by players based on the output of the dungeon. This is true whether it is a very large dungeon with a hundred people or a small dungeon with five people. Super large dungeons have a lot of drops and high-end equipment. Basically, if three or five teams pass the level, or if one team clears the level three or five times, the lottery period is over. "As for a small dungeon like this, I'm afraid you have to clear it 40 or 50 times to squeeze out the value of the dungeon. This requires careful coordination, because once a team passes the level, an unprecedented dungeon record will immediately appear on the list, letting everyone in the game know that a new dungeon has appeared somewhere. . And this place will definitely be the Sea of ??Thunder Clouds - in front of the dungeon, there will be a large map marked with the dungeon. By the name of the dungeon, for example, what kind of volcanic lava cave, what kind of Ice Wind Frontier Outpost, what kind of Cloud Sea Air Cave etc., it is easy to determine the general geographical location of the dungeon. Although the Sea of ??Thunder Cloud map is vast, as long as players make up their minds and mobilize dozens or even millions of people to search for it, it won't take long before the copy will be exposed. It would be okay if it was a super-large dungeon, but the difficulty of the super-large dungeon is there, the clearance time is there, and there are only a few capable and qualified teams. As long as you have enough strength, it is relatively easy to pass three or five levels in a row before everyone else can pass them, and get as many rewards as possible. But small copies will not work. It¡¯s easy to get started, and everyone can come in and get a piece of the pie, you have a piece, I have a piece, there¡¯s just a little bit of stuff in total, and if you share it, it¡¯s gone. So you must pay attention to strategy! "For the first round of clearance, we can adopt the configuration of the maximum number of teams, and each team will enter the level at the same time and clear the level in seconds; and then determine the team combination for the second round of clearance based on the length and difficulty of the copy" (To be continued .)
