doomsday lamb

In a narrow room, three people would appear crowded. In the center of the room, Yang Xiaoxiao walked around Li Liping, looking around.

"Brother Lang Hua mentioned on the road before: people with abilities have a variety of abilities due to individual specificity. After abilities are generated in living organisms, they will form a special feeling in people's perception. This feeling is often associated with people with abilities.

The reason for the ability is related to its past life experience.”

"When the ability user continues to recall this feeling, the connection between the ability and the body can be deepened. Naming the ability is just the simplest way of naming it, derived from my unique understanding of this feeling."

Yang Xiaoxiao recalled, and suddenly seemed to realize something.

She looked at Lang Hua: "Doesn't that mean that we can see Ping Ma's ability attributes from her ability naming?"

"Indeed." Lang Hua nodded.

He analyzed: "Bingqinglian, from the naming point of view, should be a composite ability that is mainly composed of ice attributes, supplemented by water attributes and wood attributes. The therapeutic effect it exhibits should be attributed to the wood and water attributes.

Category. As for this ice shield, it is probably a reflection of the ice attribute in terms of defense. If the ice ability is used well, it also has a good attack effect, but it is not strong."

Finally, Lang Hua concluded: "Then 'Bing Qinglian' is an ice-based ability that focuses on healing and defense, and its attack attributes are average. As for the healing attributes and defense attributes, who is stronger between the two will have to be determined in future battles.

Take another look."

Lang Hua didn't finish his sentence, not because he was modest, but because he was really unsure.

The various abilities in the apocalypse are of various types and varieties. Even when it comes to the final "ultimate battle", no one can compile an exhaustive list.

In his past life memory, there is no record of the ability "Bing Qinglian".

Lang Hua only remembered a few simple abilities such as "Ice Lotus" and "Stem Mulian", which focused on healing and defense effects respectively. I think "Bing Qinglian" should be pretty much the same.

"Does Ping Ma's ability actually have three attributes?" Yang Xiaoxiao asked worriedly, "Would it be bad if it was too complicated?"

Li Liping also looked at Lang Hua after hearing this - after all, ability awakening is related to a person's development in the apocalypse. To say that she doesn't care at all is definitely a lie.

In their minds, Lang Hua had unknowingly become an authoritative figure.

"That's not the case with Aunt Ping. Most of the abilities are often of very different types, making it difficult to match them. Some even conflict with each other, making the user miserable."

Lang Hua thought about it: "But among the elemental abilities, the three elements of water, wood, and earth are inherently gentle. Although they are distinct from each other, they surprisingly do not interfere with each other. It is a typical example of the perfect coexistence of abilities of different strains. And ice,

The dual system of water comes from the same source, so there will be no interference problems."

In fact, conflicts and interference between the abilities of different strains are not absolute.

For example, an evolver who unfortunately awakens the dual elements of ice and fire.

Two powerful and contradictory evolutionary energies coexist in the same room in the body. Not only does it reduce the original energy level of the evolver, but in severe cases, it may even damage the evolutionary foundation of the host, eventually causing serious injury or death.

But on the other hand, if this evolver has luck, perseverance and perseverance, one day he will be able to intertwine the two.

The evolutionary energies are peeled off from each other.

Due to the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two abilities, the reaction is violent, and when the abilities are used together, they become even faster and more violent.

The strength bonus gained by the evolver is far from as simple as one plus one equals two.

However, it is not necessary to tell the whole story in such detail to the people around me right now.

"As long as there is no conflict. Are you actually better at defense than attack?"

Yang Xiaoxiao muttered and suddenly asked in confusion: "Brother Lang Hua, I remember that the density of ice is not high. Can it be used as a defense?"

She recalled some knowledge taught in class.

"It's not just ice," Lang Hua kicked aside the ice at his feet, "it's high-pressure ice."

"The density of high-pressure ice is extremely high?" Yang Xiaoxiao tilted her head, as if she didn't quite understand.

"These are two concepts." Lang Hua shook his head.

He explained: "Density and hardness are not necessarily related. Density represents the mass of atoms or molecules contained in a unit volume, while hardness is related to the structure of atoms and molecules."

"The density of mercury is high, but liquid mercury at room temperature has no hardness at all."

"That's right." Yang Xiaoxiao nodded.

Although he, Lang Hua, was an idiot since he was young, he was taught a lot of practical scientific knowledge and theories in the 215th Regiment NCO training camp.

There is no other reason. Mathematics and literature may not be of much use in the apocalypse. But as a qualified professional warrior in the apocalypse, it is absolutely impossible not to fully understand the new world after the disaster from the basic theoretical stage.

Taking practical science, combat literacy, and survival skills as the three first-level subjects after the war was General Yang's military training philosophy. Many of his lower-level soldiers also benefited from this, including of course Lang Hua.

"Then...is the hardness of ice very high?"

Yang Xiaoxiao regurgitated Lang Hua's words, but still felt confused.

She has always been an honors student, but after all, she is only a junior high school student.

Even for gifted girls, blind spots in knowledge are still blind spots.

IQ can only allow people to achieve knowledge exchange in a limited field. If you think about it more, it will only be delusion...

"Could it be harder than iron?"

Seeing Yang Xiaoxiao touching her little nose with lingering fear, Lang Hua smiled and said, "I think you should have a deep understanding of it."

"Humph." The latter raised his chin, stuck out his tongue and made a face.

"The problem is high-pressure ice." Lang Hua continued, "Metals become brittle at low temperatures because the metal crystal itself is a closely packed metal lattice, and the atoms are connected by metallic bonds."

"Metal bonds are very strong at room temperature. When the temperature is very low, the metal bonds are easily destroyed. The nodes in the metal crystal become loose, so the metal becomes brittle macroscopically."

"But ice is different. The hardness of ice increases dramatically as the temperature drops."

"Take ice formed from pure water as an example. At zero degrees Celsius, its Mohs hardness is only 1 to 2. But when the temperature drops to minus fifty degrees Celsius, the hardness of pure ice reaches 6. This has exceeded that of ordinary ores.

And it approaches the hardness of quartz.”

"However, if the temperature is lowered later, the hardness of the ice will only increase slowly. In the end, it will only be comparable to the hardness of steel."

"Ah? I thought it would be harder than diamond in the end." Yang Xiaoxiao lost his mind.

Looking at the road.

"What are you thinking about?" Lang Hua reached out and tapped Yang Xiaoxiao's forehead.

"Classmate Yang Xiaoxiao, you just take this for granted. Although the Mohs hardness of diamond is 10, it seems not much higher than 6. However, Mohs hardness is not an absolute hardness value. It is just compared with each other by standard minerals.

A rough representation of hardness.”

Lang Hua spread his hands: "To put it bluntly, Mohs hardness is a ranking, not a hardness value. Diamond is a covalent crystal of carbon. Its equiaxed crystal system has reached a geometrically stable state, and its hardness is naturally extremely high.

Same as normal."

"Then you're talking about the hardness of high-pressure ice..." Yang Xiaoxiao frowned.

"What I just talked about was just common ice."

"A total of 15 forms of ice have been identified in the laboratory before the end of the world. Among them, only "natural ice" can exist in nature, which is common ice."

"Although there are many combinations of natural ice in the crystal structure, the molecules are always combined through weak hydrogen bonds. Only as the pressure increases, the lattice structure of ice will undergo fundamental changes.

Variety."

"There is a saying in materials science called 'structure determines properties'."

"When the pressure increases, ice in the 'atomic phase' with greater strength will be formed. Under ultra-high pressure, ice in the 'ionic state' will also be formed, which is enough to maintain greater strength."

Looking at the disintegrated ice under his feet, Yang Xiaoxiao said in surprise: "Are you talking about the ice shield created by Ping's mother with her ice ability?"

"Yes," Lang Hua nodded, "Aunt Ping, with the blessing of the spore black mist energy, can imitate such a low-temperature and high-pressure environment in a local area. However, once the blessing of the ability is removed, the high-pressure ice body will not remain in the air.

Too long."

"Containing impurities will lower the melting point of ice and shorten the existence time of ice crystals. However, Aunt Ping's ability to directly purify water vapor in the atmosphere will not have these effects."

"And as the pressure rises above 2,200 atmospheres, the melting point of ice increases with the temperature, and it can even survive temperatures of 60 or 70 degrees without melting. It is a veritable 'warm ice'. This is reflected in combat

Zhongye has many uses.”

"But I can't do it now," Li Liping interjected after hearing this. She still knows her own weight better.

"Yes, it is not yet reached at this stage." Lang Hua admitted, "But the abilities will still grow. This apocalypse will not only bring countless human tragedies, but also allow people to see more magic and

Incredible.”

"Brother, there is something wrong with what you said," Yang Xiaoxiao said thiefly. "Hardness can be used as a reference when attacking. But when it comes to defense, strength should also be considered."

"You're quite attentive." Lang Hua smiled and touched Yang Xiaoxiao's head, but the latter shook his head and put his hand down, obviously still remembering the grudge just now.

Lang Hua didn't take it seriously and continued: "As a physical body, ice is used as an attack method, and its hardness has a limit. Therefore, ice-based abilities will encounter several 'evolutionary bottlenecks' in the middle and later stages."

"In the final analysis, whether it is attack or defense, the ice system can only be regarded as a relatively average ability attribute. Of course, the increase in combat power brought by the ice system in the early stage is still considerable."

When Yang Xiaoxiao heard this, she nodded to show that she understood. But Li Liping seemed to be distracted at the moment, her thoughts flying far away, and she didn't know where she was.
