Sandstorm King of Elves

When Yunhua reported the situation to Luo Yangfeng, it immediately attracted the little old man's attention.

As Yun Hua said, once or twice can be explained by coincidence, but there must be a reason for eight or ten times.

As a scientific researcher, Luo Yangfeng's intuition is also very keen, and he feels that this may be a new idea.

And if you study in depth, you may make important discoveries!

So, Mr. Luo led everyone to put down the work at hand, went to the location of the underground runoff, and said to Yun Hua: "You ask Cradle Lily to demonstrate again, we want to see it with our own eyes."

"OK!"

Yunhua said hello to Cradle Lily, who understood and immediately took root again.

After three months of growth, Sayuri's strength has also made great progress.

Especially its "water diversion" feature, because it has to penetrate sixty or seventy meters of sand layer every day to absorb water, which is equivalent to special training, so its water control ability has also been greatly improved.

At this time, it activates the "water diversion" feature again, and water suddenly gushes out from the ground like a fountain.

At the same time, Sayuri's water output efficiency has also improved a lot, and the water flow has changed from one finger thick to three finger thick, which is comparable to tap water.

Half a minute later, a large area of ​​the sand dune became wet, but there was no change.

An hour later, the dune still had not collapsed.

But neither Mr. Luo nor the other researchers spoke, they just watched all this silently.

As a scientific researcher, patience is an essential element for everyone.

Yunhua, on the other hand, seemed a little impatient.

In the end, it was Mr. Luo who comforted him: "Don't worry, research experiments are rarely successful at the first time, so be patient and wait!"

"All right!"

Yunhua nodded and stared at the sand dune area under Sayuri. He only hoped that the collapse scene would happen soon.

I don't know how long it took, but when Yunhua's eyes were sore, the scene he had been looking forward to for a long time finally appeared again.

Boom!

With the water outlet as the center, the sand dune sank in again, forming a vortex-like shape with rolling sand.

Compared with the large area of ​​the quicksand field, the area affected by the collapse of the water outlet point is very small, only a dozen square meters.

But within the area of ​​a dozen square meters, the collapse speed was very, very fast, almost as fast as lightning, making it difficult for people to react.

Not only that, the collapse depth of the central area is also very deep, two to three meters deep, which can completely bury and engulf an elf in an instant.

As for the subsequent spread of collapse, it was much slower and the depth of collapse was much smaller. At best, it was just icing on the cake, better than nothing.

"It really collapsed!"

Luo Yangfeng's eyes were shining, and his face was full of surprise.

When doing scientific research, the biggest fear is that there is no idea or direction to move forward.

But this time, Yunhua directly gave him a big gift.

A definite and feasible research idea!

"Water and sand? Seepage?"

Luo Yangfeng was surprised and began to think.

Although he had been experimenting with sand all his life, it was well known that water in the desert was very thin, so he had never considered water before.

Luo Yangfeng didn't know much about the nature of water.

"Have any of you ever taken hydraulic mechanics as an elective? Fluid mechanics or micromechanics are also acceptable!"

Luo Yangfeng set his sights on the members. All of them were top students from Jiangnan University. For him, they also had a role in checking for leaks and filling in the gaps.

"Mr. Luo, I took hydraulics as an elective!"

Qin Chong looked around and Anluoluo raised his hand.

Luo Yangfeng was overjoyed when he saw this, and said excitedly: "Can you figure out the principle of the collapse phenomenon just now?"

"I speculate that the underground water flows upward due to the 'water-diversion' properties of the cradle lily, and the upward flow of water allows the sand to overcome gravity and float, so the sand loses its load-bearing capacity. So when there is an elf standing above the sand

Or other heavy objects, if the sand cannot bear the force, it will automatically sink, eventually forming quicksand."

Qin Chong scratched his face and expressed his thoughts.

"interesting!"

Luo Yangfeng's eyes narrowed.

Although Qin Chong only has a master's degree, those who can join his team must be the best academics with a solid foundation.

Although Qin Chong used the word "speculation", Luo Yangfeng estimated that the principles are close to ten, and this must be the case.

However, just in case, Luo Yangfeng sent two more people out of the desert to contact the experts in hydraulics to verify the authenticity of the theory.

There's no other way. You can't expect to get a signal in this damn place like the research station.

If you want to make a phone call, you have to travel hundreds of kilometers!

After assigning the task, Luo Yangfeng continued: "Let's assume that Xiao Qin's theory just now is correct. If this is the premise, tell us what direction we will research in next!"

"Mr. Luo, I have an idea."

Doctor Zhang Yuanhua was the first to raise his hand, and after receiving the permission, he said: "I think the flow rate of water should be a breakthrough point in research. The faster the reverse seepage of water, the speed of sand dune collapse may increase, and the power will be greater.

."

"That's an idea!"

Luo Yangfeng pushed up his glasses frame and quickly took a pen to write it down in his notebook.

After the conversation started, members of the research team also made suggestions one after another.

At this time, the role of the top scientific research team members came to light. Almost everyone had an idea, and before long Mr. Luo had written down a page full of new ideas.

Their next task is to conduct experimental tests on the new ideas one by one.

During this process, Yun Hua, Fang Xiao, Yuan Weiming and others were completely speechless. They were the audience, and the important thing was to experience this sense of joy.

"Okay, let's talk about the first one first. What can you do to increase the flow rate?"

The big idea is reverse percolation, and the small idea is the suggestions made by everyone, but in order to put the suggestions into practice, specific and feasible measures must be taken.

"The flow rate of the water body is controlled by the water diversion characteristics of the elves."

Qin Chong raised his hand again: "Mr. Luo, how about we apply for another elf with water-diversion properties? The strength should preferably be at the gym level, and the development of water-diversion properties should not be too bad, at least better than Cradle Lily.

"

If you want to increase the flow rate, you have to find elves with stronger water control abilities to participate in the experiment.

But the water-drawing properties of the cradle lily are already much more powerful than the professional-level sand bell cactus.

If you go further up, you can only shake other people.

"Gym level? This will probably take a lot of time."

Luo Yangfeng had a look of helplessness on his face.

As an elf, given his status, he can definitely apply.

However, the procedures that need to be followed and the time spent cannot be omitted.

Especially for elves with such special requirements, they can't even think of applying for it within a few months.

"Increase the flow rate of reverse seepage?"

Yun Hua, who had always been an audience member, raised his eyebrows and suddenly had an idea.

So he raised his hand and said: "Mr. Luo, I have an idea. Maybe you can try it now!"
