Crane's Ark of Tomorrow Daily

"An Jie, don't listen to Croissant's nonsense. Obsidian has no special effect at all. It's just a gimmick deliberately thrown out by profiteers, a trick to defraud money."

Li Ke sneered, and said sarcastically, "If it's really what they say, a few broken stones can suppress the ore disease, and I don't have to work so hard now."

Obsidian can suppress ore disease... This claim is simply nonsense.

No matter how beautiful the appearance of obsidian is, it is just a natural glass formed after the sudden cooling of volcanic magma. In essence, it is just a pile of broken stones composed of silicon dioxide. Inhibition?

"That's it..."

Hearing what Li Ke said, Angelina touched the obsidian bracelet in her hand, and then reluctantly returned it to Croissant.Seeing that the business could not be done, Croissant took back the bracelet and stuffed it back into the bag.She was still obsessed with Li Ke's slap in the face just now, and murmured, "I didn't lie just now..."

"Even if you buy it at Zista, it won't be much cheaper than mine..."

Considering the long distance of the journey and various other restrictions, selling three thousand Longmen coins is already a very conscientious price in Croissant's mind.

Seeing Ke Song's reaction, Li Ke shook his head slightly, and said, "Okay... I'm not targeting you..."

In fact, Croissant can be regarded as a victim, and what Li Ke is targeting is actually those unscrupulous businessmen who hype 'suppressing ore disease' as a gimmick.

Being able to maintain independence between the cracks of big countries, the mayor of Kiesta City can be regarded as somewhat capable. In order to maintain such a large foundation, it naturally needs countless money.

Although the matter of making money is not shabby at all, Li Ke is somewhat dissatisfied with taking advantage of people's fear of ore disease to make money.

The status of the unknown mayor of Xista City in Li Ke's mind has dropped a lot invisibly.

"But, there are really very few infected people on Zista, right? Otherwise, no one would believe their propaganda." After Li Ke's remarks, Kong still had some doubts in his heart.

"It's easy to explain." Li Ke said casually, "Just read one or two issues of papers on Kiesta's environmental investigation, and you can easily understand this problem."

[Who will watch this if they have nothing to do! ] The three people on one side complained silently in their hearts.

However, they did not interrupt Li Ke's science popularization time, and listened silently... They were somewhat curious about the reason why there were so few infected people in Zista.

"Let me just talk about it briefly..." Li Ke thought for a moment, sorted out the thoughts in his mind, and then slowly said, "The first thing I want to explain is the environment around Xista City. There are two The most notable feature - the Diamond Volcano and the adjacent 'ocean', to be precise a huge inland lake."

"These two landmark landforms have had a huge impact on Kiesta's climate, which can be said to be the direct cause of the lack of rain in Kiesta's climate."

"But Li Ke, if Zista is by the sea, shouldn't it rain often?" Angelina asked a little puzzled.

According to common people's understanding, seawater forms rain clouds after evaporation, which should bring more precipitation to surrounding areas.But why did Li Ke say that it seldom rains in Xista near the sea?

"Because the rain is not only related to the location of the sea and land, but also affected by various factors such as terrain and atmospheric circulation. The diamond volcano hinders the moist air flow. On both sides of the mountain, there is little rain, and the rainfall on the other side is exaggerated... Xi Star is just built on the side with less rainfall." Li Ke explained.

Angelina nodded with half understanding, as if she didn't fully understand what Li Ke said.

"You should all know the relationship between rainfall and Originium pollution, right? I won't explain this much."

The other three nodded one after another. This knowledge can be said to be a compulsory course for every Terra World resident, so naturally Li Ke doesn't need to say much.

The rain in the world of Terra does not bring a good harvest, but corrosive acid rain, which will cause a lot of damage to the human body, and there is even a risk of infection with ore diseases... Although this possibility is very, very low, it cannot be ignored. Such disregard.

It is precisely for this reason that large-scale planting of agricultural crops has always been a relatively difficult problem. Only various greenhouses in large-scale agricultural modules and soilless cultivation technology can make mobile cities self-sufficient in terms of food. .

The wilderness, far from the industrial pollution of mobile cities, might be better, but not much better.The plants that can survive tenaciously in the wild have also gone through countless years of selection to adapt to this environment rich in source stone pollution.

"There is more evaporation and less precipitation, so the environment in Kiesta is naturally better than other places."

From this point of view, the sea next to Kiesta is not a pool of stagnant water, there may be an undersea tunnel leading to the depths of the sea at the bottom, otherwise, the rootless water will dry up sooner or later.

"There is also that volcano... Although the specific situation is unknown, it is certain that it has no record of activity for a long time and will not cause pollution to the vicinity."

Among the papers that Li Ke has seen, there is no mention of the state of the diamond volcano.But thinking about it, there should be no origin stone veins inside the volcano, and even if there were, the volcano should have been dormant for at least hundreds of years.

As long as a volcano with origin stone veins inside erupts once, it will cause a devastating blow to the surrounding ecological environment, no less than a large-scale natural disaster... In other words, the volcanic eruption itself is a manifestation of natural disasters.

Volcanic ash will bring a large number of Originium particles, just like the attack that happened in Londinium, ordinary people have a very high probability of contracting ore disease if they accidentally inhale this gas.Even if hundreds of years have passed, this kind of pollution may not disappear.

"But, if it's just less rain, it doesn't mean anything, right?"

"I have been to the Sargon area with less rainfall, and it is completely a desert, but the infected people in Sargon are not much less." Maybe it was to avenge the previous knife, Croissant Said rather unconvinced.

After working in Penguin Logistics for so many years, let alone other things, she has also traveled to many places.Croissant can quickly think of an area that is similar to Li Ke's description. Except that it is not backed by oceans and volcanoes, the Sargon area fits Li Ke's description.

"And why is Kiesta seldom attacked by natural disasters? How do you explain this?"

Hearing this, Li Ke smiled.

He spread his hands and said, "This is even simpler."

"Have you forgotten the biggest difference between Kiesta and other cities? Kiesta is a city built on the ground, which is fundamentally different from a mobile city."

Not a mobile city?What does this mean?

Before Croissant and Angelina could bear to figure out the meaning of this sentence, Kong was the first to understand what Li Ke wanted to express.

"You mean, the 'natural disasters are chasing moving cities' theory that you told me?"

That was what Li Ke mentioned in their chat on the way to Londinium.Now that it was brought up again, a chill inevitably surged in Kong's heart.

Without him, Li Ke's statement is too intrusive.

"That's right, that's the one." Li Ke gave Kong an appreciative look, "Although the Sargon area is arid, it is still a mobile city. Natural disasters will follow the pace of the mobile city and pollute the surrounding environment. Kiesta In the past thirty years, there is only one record of natural disasters, how do they compare?"

"Besides, Kiesta is a tourist city, which means that there are very few industrial facilities related to origin stones. Combined with these reasons, there will naturally be fewer infected people there."

The largest industrial facility in Kiesta City is probably the mining and production line related to obsidian.

"Natural disasters chasing moving cities? What's that?" Angelina asked with some doubts, tilting her head.
