Chapter 263 The Price of Plagiarism
"Sunda Strait, Krakatoa..."
Meng Lang entered these two keywords in the search box, and then a bunch of information popped up.
Krakatau, a famous active volcano in Asia, is located on Rakata Island in the Sunda Strait between Sumatra and Java, with an altitude of 813 meters.
The Krakatau volcano is not large in area, but it is extremely active. The most famous one is the volcanic eruption in 1883, which directly shocked the world.
The powerful explosive force was equivalent to 1 million times the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The roar caused by the explosion could be heard even in Australia 3,000 kilometers away.
The big explosion also caused strong earthquakes and tsunamis, which spread to the interior of Java and Sumatra, destroying 295 villages and towns.
It took only 32 hours for the tsunami wave caused by the earthquake to rush out from Krakatau and reach the west coast of Europe.
It was so fast and caused so much damage. As many as 6,500 ships were sunk by the tsunami along the way, claiming about 50,000 lives...
"Well..."
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he really didn't know how to evaluate this life.
Speaking of which, with the growth of strength and influence, how long has it been since I encountered such a situation of direct death due to an unexpected disaster?
The most recent way to die is either to be killed by the Night Demons in advance, or to die in the apocalypse.
So much so that he almost forgot that he was suffering from bad luck, and the danger came not only from the Night Demons...
"I was careless..." Meng Lang sighed leisurely. .
Recently, all my attention has been focused on dealing with the Night Demons, and subconsciously I have indeed neglected to take precautions against the misfortune that follows them.
But he didn't expect that this bad old man, Destiny, would take advantage of him to relax his vigilance, stop using precision strikes, and just open AOE...
How despicable! If you can, just let me squat in the crater...
Meng Lang couldn't help but complain.
But it’s a little strange? Obviously I had no problem traveling around the world in "Revelation", so why did something happen when I visited Southeast Asia this time?
Is it possible that the way of death due to Alzheimer's disease is more in line with the old guy's evil taste, so it has a higher priority?
Or maybe I, a little butterfly, have been struggling too hard recently... The level of fate's backlash has escalated again?
Judging from the fragments of dialogue in the book, I should also have some resistance to this overseas trip.
I think no matter how unprepared I am, I will never take a dangerous vehicle like a yacht without any preparation.
Even if there is no rescue helicopter and rescue boat on standby 24 hours a day, the lifeboats and life jackets are definitely saturated, and the escape route must be properly planned.
In normal situations such as a leaking mechanical failure on a yacht, a collision with a ship running aground on a rock, and being hit by a torpedo, the probability of survival should not be low.
But you want to use these ordinary safety measures to deal with super volcanic eruptions, and the kind that allows you to feel AOE splash damage at close range...
Please, they directly detonated an active volcano. !
That’s an explosion equivalent to N nuclear bombs!
What I am doing here is just a visit to my neighbor’s house. No matter how complete the emergency plan is, there is no need to reach the disaster response level of a super nuclear explosion, right?
On the one hand, I have let my guard down a bit, but this lack of martial ethics is even more outrageous!
In addition to regretting that his ambition was not fulfilled and that he had sacrificed a brother in vain, Meng Lang could only briefly mourn for his ill-fated fate...
[December 22, 2018 , the Sunda Strait of India, the Krakatau volcano erupted, triggering a super tsunami of unknown magnitude...]
He wrote down this information in his notebook.
Sighed somewhat distressedly.
In the past, it was just a transportation problem, but now it has escalated to the point of using natural disaster-level weapons to attack me...
Everything has a first time, and what follows is often countless times.
Meng Lang, who had completely despaired of his own luck, had to speculate on his fate with the worst possible malice.
Is it possible that from now on, not only do I have to guard against all kinds of assassins in life, but I also have to write a special "Disaster Avoidance Guide" for such large-scale natural disasters?
“There was a car accident when I got home, my plane crashed in Beijing, I encountered a volcanic eruption while visiting Southeast Asia...
Could it be that I am in conflict with long-distance travel?
This is the rhythm that will force me to become a homebody..."
At least, there should be no natural disasters in Sushi and Mengjiacun, the two places where I often stay, in 25 years. Large-scale natural disaster
Otherwise, you will be willing to do it for the sake of your own life. I will definitely remind myself a little bit.
As for the entire country of China... and even the entire world, not only super natural disasters happen every day, but the frequency of occurrence is also extremely frequent. List them all and give yourself a copy. Encyclopedias are not realistic at all
The safest way is to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles less.
If you really have no choice but to take risks, you must first send a brother to investigate the local humanistic features, geological features, and even all the natural and man-made disasters in the next few decades to prevent yourself from stepping on shit again... …
Living... is so tiring!
Meng Lang turned his attention to the photo in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" again.
This time the person in the wheelchair was not herself, but Yan Weiwei.
Her right leg was in a cast, and she was wearing a neck brace to fix her neck. She looked a little funny.
Looking at the camera, he seemed a little embarrassed and angry. He raised his right hand and waved it forward as if he was going to throw something. The frozen photo became a little blurry.
What she is holding... seems to be an ashtray?
Hey hey! Seriously?
"Isn't this very energetic..." Meng Lang curled his lips.
Even if he is not present at the scene, he can probably use his association and imagination to write a 300-word essay based on this photo.
It’s just that the confident Yan Weiwei failed in the mountaineering meeting and returned in embarrassment. As a result, she was snapped by herself who didn’t know why, and this rare picture of “throwing off the helmet and taking off the armor” was preserved...
"Mountain climbing skills..."
Meng Lang felt helpless.
The so-called mountains and seas, the sea is the Sunda Sea and the mountains are Zhongnan Mountains...
It seems that they are completely unrelated, but they are tied to cause and effect by an inexplicable "mountain climbing meeting".
The general context of the incident should be like this...
On the surface, she lives an enviable life as a charterer, but in fact she is burdened with the heavy responsibility of inheriting the family's martial arts.
Unwilling to have her life arranged early, the girl finally won three years of freedom for herself through unremitting efforts and resistance, but the deadline is the end of this year.
In order to prolong the beautiful and happy free time, I agreed to participate in this mountain climbing meeting by betting against my old man. I want to do it for three years and three years...
But the ending is that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the mountains. If you don’t reach the top, you will be eliminated!
This is the last parting trip, just because this guy likes to watch the sea, and I owe him a sunrise with his shameless words...
If you spread out the entire causal chain , his final outcome was actually doomed on the day Yan Weiwei returned from failure.
It’s just that when faced with such an important fate node, he didn’t realize it at all, and he was still gloating about Yan Weiwei’s embarrassing state and taking photos as a souvenir.
Those who don’t know are fearless!
But this is just a comment on the low-dimensional world from a high-latitude perspective.
Without the information advantage provided by this book, wouldn’t I be at the mercy of fate in the book? It wasn't until he died that he realized the cause and effect.
In other words, is this a "dimensionality reduction attack"?
A seemingly inconspicuous "cause" leads to the "effect" of body death and disappearance, but the low-latitude biological authorities are obsessed and cannot pry into the mystery.
But I can predict the future and constantly modify the key "causes" to create the "effects" I want to see.
From this perspective, this book can barely be regarded as a "causality weapon"?
Looking at the unremarkable autobiography lying on the desk, Meng Lang couldn't help but be speechless...
It's so scary!
But...
Meng Lang was a little confused.
There is a saying in the book that is right. The parting of adults is always quiet and does not require any explanation.
The trajectory of life before today should indeed be like this.
Yan Weiwei did not go to Zhongnan Mountain, nor did she go to the Sunda Sea with herself and others.
Why is it suddenly different this time?
Is it the butterfly effect caused by helping Fan Shigang in the bar?
This effect should have been released a few episodes earlier, and it won't wait until today.
What on earth caused Yan Weiwei to suddenly not want to say goodbye quietly, and to choose an almost tragic way to launch a final charge against the mountain of destiny?
Meng Lang began to think carefully about what he had done recently.
Is there anything that would have such a significant impact on Yan Weiwei’s thinking that it would change her life plan?
Although a little narcissistic, as the only little butterfly of fate, no matter what inexplicable changes occur in other people's life trajectories.
No need to reason...it’s right that the problem lies with me!
But recently I seem to be spending most of my time at home writing code, searching for information and planning my life.
Apart from the usual brief encounters with each other for dinner, it seems that he didn’t do anything particularly out of the ordinary, right?
emm...
In addition to singing a song for Yan Weiwei...
Meng Lang: "..."
Illusion! This must be my illusion!
It is impossible for Yan Weiwei, whose brain is mostly muscles, to be so love-minded!
I want to deny this possibility, but my mind inexplicably reminds me of the pair of eyes that seemed to be twinkling under the starry sky that night on the beach...
Meng Lang's whole body was filled with excitement. Something is bad.
What is this?
Truth can be said indiscriminately, but songs cannot be sung indiscriminately?
The price of plagiarism...is it so tragic...
And...it is a first time offender after all, and he is not even given a chance to change his ways? ! (End of this chapter)
