Chapter 107 What is the unit standard for temperature?
Taking advantage of the fact that it was still daytime, Pei Mengqing clapped her hands to attract the attention of her companions.
"Everyone, I think we can investigate the matter of Winter's persistence," he said.
"You mean, it might be related to Yangzhou Slow and the zombie virus?" Dongfang Xiaoyu thought for a moment and reacted immediately.
"Yes, corpses are more likely to rot in summer, and zombies cannot survive for a long time. But if it is winter, these zombies can continue to move for a long time and have a longer shelf life. Therefore, we have reason to suspect that the severe cold will cause the zombies to survive."
Viruses are also involved.”
Pei Mengqing's association was a reasonable one, but he didn't know if it was related to the Sky Patrol Sword, the underground ferocious beast, or even Canglan.
"So, we should investigate the duration and temperature of winter in Tianhe County in recent years, and try to find the root cause of the long-lasting cold winter?" Ju Ju asked.
Xiaori nodded: "Maybe it will be some kind of natural treasure like frost beads. Then we two... well, the three of us will be blessed."
Originally, Xiaori wanted to say that it and Orange Bureau shared the natural resources and treasures equally, so it would be easier to evolve next time, but when she thought of the whisper next to her, she immediately retracted her remarks.
It seems that I have to divide the good things into small portions.
Unexpectedly, Qingyu said: "Anyway, I am already at the late stage of Xuanqi level. It would be nice if I could help you two rise to the same level. The quality and quantity of heavenly materials and earthly treasures required for Qi star level may be difficult to achieve.
"
Juju and Xiaori looked at each other and felt unsure.
After all, Pei Mengqing's luck seems to be different from that of ordinary people.
I hope Qingyu won’t regret it when the time comes...
While it was still daytime, Pei Mengqing and others set out again, went to the city, and randomly found a few households.
"Uncle, it's much colder this year than last year." Pei Mengqing wrapped herself in her shorts and looked like she was cold.
The uncle was a good man, so he quickly asked his mother-in-law to go to the house to get a piece of thick clothing for Pei Mengqing.
Although the people in Tianhe County are not wealthy, they usually have enough food and clothing.
As the saying goes, people in the warehouse know etiquette, so when they meet people in need, they will extend their hands and help them to the best of their ability.
"No, no, I just forgot to wear thick clothes. I'll just go home later." Pei Mengqing quickly refused.
After all, he is not really cold, he just wants to pretend to be an ordinary person and talk to the uncle.
"Then you should go home quickly. It's too cold today. At this time in the past, it would basically be the last snowfall. Logically speaking, when the wind blows, you can smell the fragrance of willow buds! But now I smell it
, it’s all the smell of cold wind and frozen soil.”
This uncle obviously has a good understanding of the smells in the air in different seasons and seasons.
Pei Mengqing nodded: "Isn't it? If the summer is 30 degrees, the spring is 18 degrees, and now it is minus 25 degrees, then at this time in previous years, uncle, what do you think the number is?"
It's hard to come up with a measurement like Celsius, so he just took it as a joke and showed it to his uncle as an example.
"I estimate that at this time in previous years, it was only one or two degrees. It means that there will be ice in the morning and evening, and it will turn into water when the sun rises during the day." The uncle was very satisfied with his description. He quickly understood and gave his own judgment.
In other words, when we should have started to think about the ice and snow melting and reducing the snow accumulation, now it is still freezing cold and there will be heavy snowfall from time to time.
"Well, uncle, do you feel that some places in our city are not that cold, and some places are colder than others?"
Pei Mengqing tried to ask more, but in this kind of weather, everyone had nothing to do but stayed at home and did not move. There was no need to even open the door. No one would wander around.
The task of chopping firewood is completed by the great warlocks in the city. All they usually have to do is go out to collect food and firewood at a fixed time.
"Really? I didn't feel that. Forget it, don't say it. Young man, I'm going to give you the cold! Go home quickly!"
Hearing this, Pei Mengqing didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she changed two streets, found another house, and asked the same question again.
As a result, everyone's judgments about the current temperature and the temperature in previous years are similar. As for whether there is one place in the city that is colder than other places, everyone doesn't know.
Pei Mengqing stood on the roof of a house, looking around at the densely packed bronze, steel, and wooden houses, stroking her chin.
The earth where he was originally located rotates around the sun, so the seasons change.
As for the specific temperature, it is related to the northern and southern hemispheres, latitude, altitude and surrounding monsoon ocean currents.
But he doesn't know what the world revolves around now.
However, it is basically certain that it is also spherical.
This can be determined by methods such as horizontal lines and the rising sun, and Pei Mengqing has quietly verified it long ago.
As for the revolution period, it is similar to that of the sun.
There are also twelve months in a year, and the current northern states are at the same latitude as Henan and Hebei. Logically speaking, the weather should be getting warmer.
What could it be that could affect the weather of an entire city?
Is it a very powerful warlock? A peculiar device? A fixed formation? Or is it, as Juju and Xiaori said, a treasure of heaven and earth like the Frost Bead?
Pei Mengqing's thoughts were more inclined towards conspiracy, such as special devices and fixed formations. He felt that they were the most likely.
As for the very powerful great warlock... For a great warlock who can influence the weather of a city, it is not easy to harm Tianhe County. He can just casually flatten the entire city. Why bother to control the weather?
And as far as he knew, Liang County was neither close nor far from the sea, and there were no surrounding mountains that could block the ocean monsoon.
Soon, Xiaori and Juju also came back.
Dongfang Xiaoyu was the first to say: "According to Brother Pei's standards, everyone basically thinks that the temperature at this time in previous years should be zero to five degrees, but when the wind blows, you can already feel the warmth, and it is only cold in the morning and evening."
Xiaori, Juju, and Qingyu nodded in the same way, indicating that the information they had collected from the cats was the same.
"Is there mercury in the city?" Pei Mengqing suddenly asked.
He thought it would be great if he could imitate a thermometer using mercury.
However, Dongfang Xiaoyu said: "Actually, the central area of the school is researching standards for measuring temperature. There are also some standard instruments. We can go there and see if we can borrow one to check the temperature outside."
"I have also heard about this. I heard that the teachers and students in the central area want to unify the temperature standards and plan to use 'blessings' as the unit." Qingyu said.
"Zhu Rong?" Juju asked.
