Real Cthulhu Running Game

Didn't you agree to wait until Yin En gets married before going to Tieshan Village?

Looking at Liu Xing who looked confused, Huo Zijun said with a smile: "Don't worry, Alliance Leader, we are not planning to go to Tieshan Village today. Just because of some experiments, we have to build a shed outside Tianshui Town for research, so this I’ll be moving soon.”

Liu Xing nodded and guessed: "Oh, it seems that you are preparing to do some more dangerous experiments? Is that why you went outside to set up a temporary laboratory?"

Before that, Liu Xing had also heard about Huo Zijun and others' testing site in Tianshui Town. There were often sounds that made the neighbors feel uneasy, such as "crackling", "boom boom boom", etc., so before Meng Fugui Liu Xing was asked if Huo Zijun and others should move, because the laboratory of Huo Zijun and others was originally located on the periphery of the camp, but now with the arrival of NPCs, the location of the laboratory has gradually become the central area.

Although the surrounding buildings are still a certain distance away from the laboratory, they now have a burning bonus of Tianganwudan. In addition, these buildings are all wooden structures, which will be troublesome if they catch fire.

So it was time for Huo Zijun and others to move the laboratory to a safer place.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing continued: "So, is there anything you need my help with? While there are still some businesses outside that are open for business, if you need any special experimental equipment, just tell me directly, and we will try our best to get it from Tieshan Village. Someone bring the stuff back before you come back.”

In Liu Xing's impression, almost all experimental equipment required for chemical experiments are professionally customized, even ordinary-looking glasses.

"It's okay, we will make those simple experimental equipment ourselves, because you also know, leader, that chemical experiments require very high precision. If some liquids are one milliliter more or one gram less, the results of the experiment may be drastically different. The place is different, or even dangerous, so now we only trust the experimental equipment we made... After all, leader, you should also be very aware that the weights and measures in the martial arts module this time are somewhat different from the real world, because your character card is a He's a doctor." Huo Zijun said seriously.

After Huo Zijun's reminder, Liu Xing remembered that the weights and measures in the martial arts module were indeed very different from the real world, or it could be said that they were using ancient weights and measures.

For example, the idiom "half a catty and eight taels" means that half a catty was equal to eight taels in weight at that time, which means that one catty at that time was equal to sixteen taels, so this reflects the difference between the weight units at that time and now. , directly eight taels became five taels, which sounded like it was almost half lost, and the "jin" in the New Dragon Empire was defined as sixteen taels, and one tael was equal to one hundred grams, which is It is said that one pound in the New Dragon Empire is equal to one and a half pounds in the real world or a little more.

Then there is the very classic question of whether "stone" is pronounced tense or single, and the weight of "stone" itself has different meanings in different dynasties. Therefore, the "stone" in the Xinlong Empire is similar to that in the Han Dynasty, about It is equivalent to sixty pounds in the real world.

Finally, there is the method of measuring liquids. In ancient times, buckets were generally used for weighing, so the Xinlong Empire also placed a set of three buckets in each town, which are the so-called extra large cups, large cups and medium cups. , respectively equivalent to the current five liters, one liter and five hundred milliliters.

As for the so-called small cup, it only exists among the people. It is usually a small funnel used in pubs to serve drinks to guests. This is about one hundred milliliters, which is two ounces of wine in the real world.

Of course, if we insist on making a point, Erliang wine is actually more than 110 milliliters, because the density of wine must be greater than that of water.

But this is not the point. The point is that although the new dragon emperor arranged for many famous craftsmen to jointly build this set of standard buckets, everyone knows that hand-made items will have some errors, and these standard buckets are all made of wood. , after all, there is no stainless steel in this martial arts module, so if you use metal to make a fight, it will easily rust. What's more, the New Dragon Empire was still in a stage of waste and waiting for development, so there was so much metal that could be wasted in the current " "Decoration" on the standard bucket?

Therefore, things made of wood are prone to deformation, especially those with special shapes like buckets. Therefore, Liu Xing also feels that the set of standard buckets in Heshan County may have an error of about 10%, and such Errors are no longer acceptable in chemistry.

Moreover, the standard bucket does not have any standards, which means that it can only be relatively accurate when it is filled with things. As for numbers such as two hundred milliliters and four hundred and thirty-eight milliliters, it cannot be measured at all, or in other words The error will be very large.

So Huo Zijun and others really need to make their own experimental equipment. After all, they don't want to entrust their lives to others, and everyone else here is a second-hand person.

"So, Alliance Leader, please send a few more people to help us clean up the site. After all, there are so many weeds and things that just a few of us can't clean up, and besides building a shed, we also have to move some things there." Huo Zijun said. .

Liu Xing agreed without thinking, and arranged for Ding Kun to bring a few people over to help, because the most idle people now should be the hunting team led by Ding Kun. After all, no prey worth mentioning was found nearby. , let alone Warcraft, so the hunting team can only do odd jobs here and there.

Just after Ding Kun left with Huo Zijun and others, another player came over and said to Liu Xing: "Leader, there are a lot of dead fish coming from the upper reaches of the river, and the appearance of these fish is also very strange. It can be said that They are all missing arms and legs."

After hearing this, Liu Xing immediately took Zhang Jingxu and others to the river. The result was just as the player said, there were a large number of dead fish with missing arms and legs floating on the river. They looked like Someone was eating at a buffet, and everything seemed to be thrown away after one bite.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing said: "Would any of you help me inform Yu Lei, saying that I need him to accompany me to the upper reaches to take a look!"

Although the fishery resources in the Xinlong Empire are very rich, few people would waste food so much, so Liu Xing wondered what happened upstream. For example, was a group of bears catching fish by the river?

Liu Xing remembered that he had watched a documentary before, which said that salmon would pass through the territory of bears when they migrated back. Therefore, at this time, the bears were faced with countless food in the river, and they began to make their way through the year. The happiest time in the fish, because at this time they can really eat and throw away a salmon, so they will only eat the most delicious part of the salmon, and then abandon the salmon behind them like useless shoes.

After all, Bear doesn't have a refrigerator.

So looking at the dead fish on the river, Liu Xing felt that they most likely encountered some powerful predators, which is why they became like this.

"Do you need us to accompany you?" Baihecheng asked.

Liu Xing shook his head and replied: "Forget it, if you follow me and you are really in danger, then you can't do anything like me. So in order to prevent us from knocking others into the river when we turn back to escape, we It’s better not to go together.”

"Yeah, there doesn't seem to be any decent road upstream, so it's okay for just one or two people to walk there, but if there are more people, it's easy to cause problems."

Zhang Jingxu took out a few talisman papers from his arms and said with a smile: "These are the talismans I drew in the past two days. They are still more or less effective, so leader, please just stay."

Liu Xing took the talisman, turned around and headed upstream first, and Yu Lei quickly came to Liu Xing's side.

"What's going on? Not to mention I've seen it before, I've never even heard of such a scene."

Yu Lei said with a puzzled look: "It seems that these fish were bitten by some kind of creature and then thrown back into the water, so it's like a joke, not like a normal fish." It has to eat...and even if it only takes one bite from so many fish, it must be full even if it is a tiger or a bear, so is this a new monster?"

Liu Xing nodded, then pointed at the dead fish still flowing down the river and said: "Brother Yu, look at the number and density of these fish. Logically speaking, these fish floating on the water are flowing along the current." They move forward, so as long as they don't hit something when the river turns, their speed downstream is almost constant. This means that the unknown creature that is eating upstream moves very quickly. It can be said that it is eating at the same time. While catching! So we have reason to suspect that this may not be one, but a group!"

Hearing what Liu Xing said, Yu Lei thought for a moment before speaking: "I remember walking about a kilometer ahead, the river will turn a corner, and there happens to be a river beach there, so the water flow there will Slow it down, so there's a good chance the target we're looking for is out there."

"Then we have to be careful. If this thing is also flowing down the river, then we may encounter it unexpectedly!" Liu Xing said seriously.

Yu Lei nodded and said nothing more. Instead, he handed Liu Xing a dagger that looked very sharp, and then walked ahead to clear the way.

It didn't take long for Liu Xing and the two to arrive at the river beach. They saw a lot of fish still jumping on the river beach. Many of these fish were missing arms and legs. They were a little bit awkward when jumping. It made Liu Xing's scalp numb.

Apart from that, no other figures were seen.

"For fish, I remember that a famous chef once cut off all the meat on it. As a result, the fish head can still swim in the water with the bones, but this can only last for a while, so this fish-eating The unknown creature must have just eaten and drank enough to leave."

After Yu Lei made sure that there was no danger around, he took Liu Xing to the river beach. "It seems that this guy caught all the fish first, then took a bite and threw them away, and then left after eating and drinking." , so if this guy is a Warcraft, then it is preparing to settle here; but now there is good news, that is, judging from the traces left at the scene, the initiator of all this should have acted alone, so we There’s only one enemy to face.”

“But the bad news is that this possible monster is less than two kilometers away from Sweetwater Town, so this means that it may sneak near Sweetwater Town at any time, and it may attack nearby residents. Liu Xing said with a frown.

For Liu Xing, this is huge bad news. After all, if this is really a Warcraft, then the distance of two kilometers is the same as when he used to go to the toilet after class. He could reach Tianshui Town by just walking a few steps. Even if it doesn't take action directly, it will scare the NPCs to death, because in the eyes of the NPCs, Warcraft is an invincible and terrifying existence.

Therefore, if the alliance cannot eliminate the threat posed by this monster in a short period of time, the NPCs in Sweetwater Town may want to move again. After all, the monster has already arrived at your door. If you don't run away, I'm afraid it won't become food rations.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing and Yu Lei checked various suspicious traces on the river beach together, hoping to determine the general situation of the target.

Soon, Yu Lei, who had more professional knowledge, came to a conclusion, "If the target is a Warcraft, then its size is not too outrageous, it is about the same as an ordinary tiger, and it is also on all fours. Yes, so it can catch so many fish in a short period of time, which means that it is very fast, and it is also fast and accurate! But what is interesting is that there are no scratches on the claws of these fish, so this point is worthy of scrutiny. ”

Looking at Yu Lei who was a little confused, Liu Xing said subconsciously: "Is someone pretending to be a ghost? If it is a monster or a real tiger, they will cause harm to the fish in the process of catching the fish, so it cannot be so intact! So is there someone who wants to play a prank, so he is pretending to be a ghost here, trying to scare us from leaving Sweetwater Town?"

"You mean those people who set fire to Tianshui Town back then. They have been living near Tianshui Town. So now that they see Apeng and you guys planning to rebuild Tianshui Town, they want to use this method to drive you out. Walk?"

Yu Lei shook his head and said seriously: "Apeng, your idea does make some sense, but the question is why these people stayed here for more than ten years? If this is the case, then they had A better opportunity to attack you! And I noticed a detail, that is, there are some unnatural water marks on the river beach, it looks like someone splashed water here, you should understand what I mean."
