Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 17 How to keep the secret of the whirlpool?
At this time, Zhu Xiongying was studying some of the rules of the mysterious whirlpool that he had summarized through this phone call in front of his grave.

That is, the time flow rate ratio reflected by the call interval between the two parties, and the speculation on the principle of this mysterious vortex changing the time properties of objects.

Because the sound coming from the mysterious vortex had a very vague timbre, Zhu Xiongying did not know at the time that the last sentence was said by Zhu Biao.

At that time, Zhu Xiongying specifically asked Zhu Biao how much time had elapsed from when he asked him to wait and then when he took the medicine for the second time to when he received it. The time he got was one and a half hours.

One and a half hours in ancient times is equivalent to three hours in modern times. It took Zhu Xiongying more than fourteen minutes to go to another building to get medicine. Taking into account the error caused by the inconvenience of confirming the time there, the time flow rate ratio should be It's 1:12.

In other words, if you spend 10 minutes here, one hour will pass in the Ming Dynasty; if you pass two hours here, one day will pass in the Ming Dynasty; if you pass one month in this place, about one year will pass in the Ming Dynasty.

"The call delay is a bit high. Can I write a letter directly? Or make a phone call or a walkie-talkie? No, there is no signal in Daming, and there is no signal in the mysterious vortex in the middle. It is not possible to set up wires, so I guess the radio telegram will not work. If it doesn’t work, you have to think of a way.”

After muttering, a bigger doubt appeared in Zhu Xiongying's mind.

But even if the time-to-flow ratio is 1:12, how did Grandma Li’s expired pills become new drugs?

Zhu Xiongying started from scratch. Since the expired medicine he took from Grandma Li could pass through the mysterious vortex and reach the world of Ming Dynasty, there is no doubt that this mysterious vortex is transmitted in both directions.

Items from the Ming Dynasty have reached modern times. Judging from the treasure banknotes, they seem to be 100% aged, that is, they are exactly the same as today's antiques, with no more or less aging in between.

If modern items are also 100% retroactive, then Zhu Xiongying can only send antiques from the early Ming Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty to become new, while things after the early Ming Dynasty will fail to retroactively.

At present, it seems that the items from the modern world that came to the Ming Dynasty are obviously not 100% traceable.

Zhu Xiongying paid more attention to details, so all the pills he threw were tablets and the empty pill boxes were kept.

He looked at the production date and shelf life printed on the empty pill box in his hand.

This box of medicine I got from Grandma Li was the first to be thrown away. It was produced five years ago and has a shelf life of two years, which means it has expired for three years.

As for the first batch of new medicines bought from the drugstore, Zhu Xiongying also rummaged through the empty medicine boxes. They were all still within the shelf life and were produced within half a year.

If the lookback time exceeds five years, the second batch of tablets will definitely turn into fly ash and disappear, and the first batch of tablets half a year ago will not be transmitted.

Therefore, Zhu Xiongying can draw an obvious conclusion. The traceback time of the pills is between half a year and five years.

So, does backtracking have anything to do with the 1:12 time flow ratio on both sides?
It seems not, because even if the extreme value of five years is used, multiplied by 12 times, it will only be years, and the early Ming Dynasty was more than years ago.

Therefore, when modern items are transmitted to the Ming Dynasty, the time back has nothing to do with the time flow rate ratio of 1:12 on both sides.

So what's going on?

Could it be said that the transmission of modern objects to the Ming Dynasty has nothing to do with the speed of time, but to do with the properties of other objects?
Mass, volume, shape, density, hardness, color, temperature.
Zhu Xiongying had a headache. There was no comparison group, so he couldn't guess anything here. Therefore, Zhu Xiongying put aside this idea for the time being and wrote down the observed patterns of the mysterious vortex in a memo on his mobile phone.

At present, he has learned two important rules about the mysterious whirlpool:
1. The ratio of the time flow rates on both sides is currently 12:.

2. Items from the Ming Dynasty will age after passing through the mysterious vortex, and modern objects will go back after passing through the mysterious vortex. However, as far as backtracking is concerned, Zhu Xiongying is not clear about the specific rate of time change, or whether it is a fixed number of years back.

So, is there any pattern in the appearance of mysterious vortexes?
There are speculations at present, but the data from the two times is not enough to be sure. What is certain is that the volume of the mysterious vortex seems to be expanding.

But if this mysterious vortex gets bigger and bigger, it will actually be unsafe.

The reason is very simple. The mysterious vortex will swallow the light. If it is small, it will be difficult to detect. But if it is large, it will be difficult to hide. Although this cemetery is deserted, the island is not big after all. If someone comes here and encounters it, it will be hidden. If exposed, Zhu Xiongying will definitely not be able to use it.

Therefore, Zhu Xiongying had to find a way to cover this place and make it a secret place where no one would disturb him.

But how to do it? Zhu Xiongying, who lacked sufficient social experience, was a little troubled for a while and couldn't help but fall into thinking.

Generally speaking, there are only a few reasonable places that can be isolated from outsiders and not coveted. They are either breeding farms, factories, or forest land contracted to private individuals.

If you open a factory or a breeding farm, you have to build a house and buy equipment. It is also quite suspicious if it is abandoned or unfinished right after it is opened. If it is left idle for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be curious children or unclean hands and feet. people come to visit.

Therefore, Zhu Xiongying thought for a while and decided that it would be better to enclose the forest area. In this case, trees without flowers and fruits could be planted around the area, and some signs saying "Pesticides are toxic" would be hung to avoid attracting children to pick flowers and steal fruits.

And there will be no suspicion if no one is inside. After all, the forest land is contracted, and many things do not need to be taken care of regularly. Once done, the trees can grow naturally.

And with the cover of the woods, it is even harder to detect the grave.

As for money, although it is not a problem now, it is still relatively troublesome to liquidate antiques. You cannot sell too many treasures at one time, otherwise it will not only affect the market price, but also easily attract unnecessary prying eyes.

But no matter what, it is still possible to cash out around hundreds of thousands in a short period of time.

The question now is, how to get this wasteland?
This wasteland, from the perspective of ownership, belongs to the school, but it has never been developed and utilized. Grandpa was the principal of the school before and was buried here according to his will.

Therefore, if Zhu Xiongying wants to obtain the reasonable use rights of wasteland, he needs to contract it from the school. Of course, although wasteland can be planted with ground vegetation, it is not essentially the same thing as forest land and requires approval from relevant departments. trouble.

However, this does not have much impact. After all, the people do not care about the officials. No one will care if you plant some trees in this poor place.

So no matter what, in order to keep the secret of the whirlpool, Zhu Xiongying had to go to school, and he also planned to visit his grandfather's office before his death. There might be some clues there.

In fact, what Zhu Xiongying didn't know was that his grandfather did leave a surprise for him.
