Desperate Night

Pyroxene grass. A strange plant synthesized from pyroxene and wild grass. The most important thing is that he actually seems to be able to control this thing? ? !

Yu Hong pinched the strengthened grass stem, thought for a moment, and looked up at the sky outside.

The red light of the setting sun at dusk shines through the cracks in the door baffle, dyeing a small area at the door red.

He exhaled, stood up, opened the door with a pinch of pyroxene grass, and walked out into the yard.

After many days of adjustments, the stone courtyard outside has begun to take shape.

At first, it was just a large circle made of stones. Later, the stones were slowly mixed with black mud and stepped on to make a mixed mound.

At this time, a circle of gray piers was almost ten centimeters high, enclosing an area of ​​approximately 200 square meters.

This terrain is full of black mud with green grass, and occasionally there are a few large rocks protruding from the surface. A large tree of unknown species also grew in the corner, lush and green, casting a slanting shade of five or six meters in diameter.

Yu Hong looked at the sunset, squatted down, randomly picked up a branch and stuck it on the ground to judge the approximate time.

Then he got up and walked around the simple yard for a while, thinking about where to plant the pyroxene grass.

Turning around, his eyes soon landed on a small sloping depression in front of the cave door.

There are white stone walls on one side and black mud in the yard on the other, with not many sparse weeds.

"That's it!" He stepped forward, pulled out all the few weeds, and found a chisel to dig out the grass roots as well.

Finally, dig a small hole, stuff the roots of the pyroxene grass into it, and fill it with soil.

Finally, give it some water.

After doing this, he stood up with satisfaction and returned to the safe house in the cave to wait for the results of the planting.

Soon, it got dark outside.

The solar generator placed at the door showed on the LCD display that it had accumulated two bars of electricity.

The solar generator consists of two parts. One is the solar panel, which can be folded and unfolded. One is the display and main console linked by the control line, which is a small book-sized plastic box with operating buttons and a square LCD display on which you can see the remaining power.

In addition, the solar generator also has a dedicated socket group used to power other devices.

There are more than ten sockets in a row on the side, all of which can be used to charge other things.

Yu Hong took out the radio, searched for it, pulled out a half-meter long power cord from a hidden box at the bottom of the radio, and plugged it into the solar panel.

"Finally, it can be charged." He breathed a sigh of relief. He had never dared to turn on the radio often because he was afraid of running out of power. Now it's better, and the solar generator can still be used.

After confirming that there was no problem with charging, Yu Hong calculated the charging time. The radio with half of the battery remaining was fully charged in only ten minutes.

There is still one bar of remaining power displayed on the solar panel.

At this time, the sun had set outside, and the sky fell into darkness.

"It seems that it still needs to be strengthened to make it easier to use, but in which direction should it be strengthened?"

Yu Hong started to think.

"In the past, it was not enough to simply enhance the durability. Now that functions can be added and synthesized, we have to think carefully about how to strengthen it."

Yu Hong pulled up the baffle, raised the fireplace, sat down, and turned on the radio.

Wisps of soft music drifted from the radio.

It seemed to be some kind of piano sound, long, delicate, and graceful, like a woman crying in a low voice. Piano-like accompaniment sounds from time to time in the middle, which is clear and sweet.

He stared at the solar motor, and thoughts kept popping up in his mind.

"First of all, durability is a must. Second, the total battery capacity also needs to be increased to avoid being unable to charge in continuous cloudy weather."

"Third, the conversion efficiency must also be improved, otherwise the speed will be too slow and it may not be enough if the days get shorter."

"Fourth, the sturdiness must be strengthened, otherwise if it gets damaged accidentally, you won't know where to repair it."

After formulating these four points, Yu Hong stretched out his hand, pressed it on the solar motor, and began to strengthen it.

After he recited his strengthening direction silently, Black Seal quickly gave feedback, and the countdown officially began.

‘7:15 on the 2nd. ’

"It's not bad. It's not long." Yu Hong nodded with satisfaction, got up, drank some water, and continued his daily exercise time.

In this boring environment, I had a radio and listened to music while practicing, and my condition was much better than before.

This made Yu Hong feel as if there was a little more popularity around him. Instead of living alone in a deserted mountain forest with a radius of several hundred meters.

As the music continued to repeat, Yu Hong gradually entered a state of immersion in practice.

Time passes quietly in the repetition day by day.

The solar motor was quickly strengthened, with a completely new appearance and a lot of reinforcements. Yu Hong spread it outside the cave to absorb sunlight during the day and put it in at night.

And he cleans, wipes himself, and exercises every morning. At noon, he collects firewood, looks for water, digs vegetables, and exchanges supplies. In the afternoon, I did amulet formation and exercise. Listen to the radio at night, exercise, and strengthen the talisman array.

Repeat.

In the blink of an eye, more than three weeks have passed.

In the early morning, some spotted green grass has grown in the stone courtyard outside the cave.

These grasses are sparse and scattered on the muddy ground. When illuminated by the sun, the spots on their bodies will reflect faint fluorescence.

Click.

The wooden door of the cave opened, and Yu Hong walked out from inside, wearing a fully armed reinforced gray lizard suit, holding a freshly cleaned pyroxene mace in his hand, and a seized multi-purpose knife stuck behind his back.

He walked down the stone steps, walked to the edge of the pyroxene grass, and squatted to check.

As the distance got closer, the LCD on his collar began to rapidly display the red value data of the surrounding environment.

After a jump, the value stabilized - '-24'.

Yu Hong exhaled, and the face in the helmet showed a relaxed expression.

He took out a thin wooden board, took out a charcoal pencil from his trouser pocket and recorded the date and data on it. The number of pyroxene grass.

There were already many records densely packed on the board.

From top to bottom, it can be seen that the pyroxene grass has continued to spread from the beginning, dispersing grass seeds, and growing a field of the same kind.

In just a dozen days, it reproduced more than ten plants from one.

And at the beginning, the impact on the red value of the surrounding environment was only in the single digit. Now it can actually be over 20.

Yu Hong stood up, pulled away, and kept testing the data of the red value detector on his collar.

One meter, two meters, three meters.

As the distance kept increasing, the value of the red value kept decreasing.

Finally, he stopped at the boundary of the stone yard and stood still. The LCD screen on the collar also showed a fixed data: -2.

"This is it, it seems just right, this is the limit." Yu Hong circled around and determined the red value range and limit of the impact of the pyroxene grass.

Back in front of the cave, he looked at the grass in the mud, stretched out his hand and pressed on the black mark, silently imagining controlling the pyroxene grass.

Soon, a wonderful sense of connection emerged in his heart.

It was as if a light spot was floating deep in his chest, a green light spot, which was the mark representing the pyroxene grass.

'Should I catalyze and accelerate through the internal energy? ' The moment the consciousness touched the light spot, the cold mechanical sound of the black mark sounded quietly in his ears.

Yu Hong's face straightened, this was exactly the function he intended to test. Before, it was allowed to grow naturally, just to record before and after for comparison. After all, if you don't know what the normal growth rate is, there is no way to compare how much the internal energy can increase the growth rate.

He calmed his mind and muttered.

'Yes. '

Suddenly, one of the internal energy in his body began to stir, as if it wanted to move upwards, towards the light point representing the pyroxene grass.

Yu Hong thought about it, and his mind coordinated to control this internal energy, mobilized it, and moved it quickly upwards.

After a while, the internal energy and the pyroxene grass light point collided with each other.

Hiss.

There seemed to be a slight sound in my ears.

The internal energy disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it was completely swallowed up by the pyroxene grass light point.

At the same time, the light point representing the pyroxene grass, the surface light suddenly brightened, at least half the brightness than before.

Then, it seemed to continue in this state, brighter than before, as if it was burning and consuming the absorbed internal energy.

Yu Hong observed for more than ten minutes, and when he was sure there were no other problems, he came back to his senses and checked a small piece of pyroxene grass on the ground.

But no matter how he looked, he could not see any changes from before.

After the observation was fruitless, he had no choice but to put it aside and continue his daily routine.

A day passed slowly, and the night was deep and quiet, gradually covering the sky.

In the cave.

Yu Hong quietly adjusted the firewood in the fireplace, and used a stick to squeeze out the excess ash in the fire to prevent oxygen from entering and burning fully.

The firelight shone on his face, printing fine beads of sweat and oil stains on his forehead.

Long-term physical labor and exercise have made his muscles more and more obvious all over his body, and his body shape has become more and more symmetrical with exercise.

The rustling sound of crawling insects gradually came from outside the door.

Soon, a stream of black insects poured in from the cracks in the door and the air vents like flowing water.

Before the black bugs landed on the ground, they quickly evaporated under the firelight of the fireplace and turned into black smoke.

Yu Hong stood up and watched the scene quietly.

Before, he would be frightened by the black bugs in the blood tide, but now, he has already adapted to it.

Time passed little by little, and soon, it was only about half an hour.

The black bugs actually began to come in sporadically, no longer as coherent as usual, and they poured in faster.

Yu Hong's face moved slightly, and he took out a spare candle from the corner, lit it, held it in his hand, and slowly approached the door.

Swish.

He used a wooden stick to pull open the glass window on the side of the door.

Through the high-strength glass, the candlelight illuminated the outside.

Suddenly, a small circle of black bugs outside turned into black smoke and disappeared, and a circle of safe area was cleared.

At the same time, the flame of the candle also shrank a lot, as if it was suppressed, and the burning speed was much faster.

Yu Hong ignored these common changes, but looked out with the candlelight.

This look made him look a little surprised.

Outside the cave, in the stone yard, in the dark night, the pyroxene grass was emitting a soft, faint white light.

Pyroxene grass is glowing? ? !

Yu Hong blinked and looked carefully again.

It was confirmed. The pyroxene grass was indeed glowing, and the white light just happened to be consistent with the red value influence range he tested during the day, just covering the entire stone yard.

Yu Hong could see it clearly with the candlelight.

The black bugs rushed towards the cave under the faint white light of the pyroxene grass, but only a small number of them came. The majority seemed to hate this white light and dispersed into the darkness in the distance, like river water diverted by reefs.
