Many people sighed helplessly in their hearts when they saw the tall and skinny young man tip the bottle and the mineral water falling straight onto the wick. How could the oil lamp not be extinguished when the water was poured like that?
The line was loosening, and more and more people were ready to leave.
However, the wick made a sizzling sound as the mineral water was poured into it. It lasted for one second, two seconds, three seconds, and the small flame on the wick did not go out.
"Huh?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment. The tall and skinny young man's eyes also widened. Somewhat anxious, he pressed down hard on the bottle and poured more water.
The remaining half bottle of water fell heavily on the wick. The flame was pressed down by the water, as if it was about to be extinguished by the water. However, when the water flowed past, it stood up again.
Although the surface of the oil lamp had been filled with a layer of mineral water, it did not affect the burning of the wick at all.
"Damn, what's going on?"
Everyone was stunned. Those who thought that the tall and thin youth must be a supporter and had left the group hurriedly ran back into the group. However, they, who were originally in the middle or even at the front, now had to move to the back.
"What's going on? Why can't the water extinguish it?"
"This reminds me of the Olympic flame. Isn't the Olympic flame also inextinguishable?"
"You're taking it for granted. The Olympic flame is not that powerful.
The Olympic flame is indeed magical. For example, the core design of the Beijing Olympic Torch is a 'double flame' scheme.
After the gas flows out, part of it enters the main combustion chamber of the burner and forms a relatively full flame outside the torch. The other part enters the precombustion chamber and maintains a relatively small but very stable flame inside the torch. In extreme cases, the flame in the main combustion chamber is extinguished, but the precombustion chamber can still maintain the flame to ensure that the torch does not go out.
However, its limit is to maintain the flame in the case of strong winds of 65 kilometers per hour and heavy rain of 50 millimeters per hour.
If a bottle of water is poured directly on it, it will be more than 50 millimeters per hour.
If it is poured on the Olympic torch, it will definitely be extinguished. "
"But it clearly only has one wick burning, and it can't be extinguished. What is the principle behind this? This is not scientific."
"If it was so easy to see through, it would not be a scientific research result."
"We underestimated it. It seems that it really might be the latest product of Chrono Group's research. You really can't judge a book by its cover."
The crowd in the queue got excited again. Although the difficulty of extinguishing the lamp seemed to have increased, it also made the Chrono Group's bounty more realistic. It didn't feel like a prank anymore.
"Damn, it actually didn't die out." In the private room on the second floor, Sue said.
The other students also had a look of astonishment on their faces. This result was too unexpected.
"How is this possible?" The boy who worked at the candle manufacturer was shocked.
Making it so that the candle would not go out easily was also the direction they were working towards.
However, what they pursued the most was that it wouldn't be easily blown out by the wind. They didn't even dare to think about the height that couldn't be extinguished even after pouring water on it. This was simply against common sense.
"Ah?
How did you do it? "
Lin Hao couldn't help asking. Xiao Rui, Shi Lei, Ding Bin, Tian Xi, Wang Yan, and others were also curious.
"The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed." Sue
He smiled slightly and pretended to be profound.
"Is there something in the fuel that can quickly decompose water into hydrogen and oxygen, so water can't extinguish it?"
Qian Yingning couldn't help guessing, although this conjecture is not reasonable. How can a substance that can quickly decompose water into hydrogen and oxygen exist?
However, the scene in front of them is too magical, and they can only speculate in an exaggerated direction.
"Water becomes hydrogen and oxygen. From the perspective of the chemical equation, there is no need to add any substance. The substance acts as a catalyst at most. Is it a new type of catalyst that can decompose water into hydrogen and oxygen by adding the temperature of the fire?" Jiang Wang also made a bold guess.
"Your conjectures are all science fiction.
But even if water can really be decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen, what other ways do people use to extinguish the fire? "
The students discussed enthusiastically, the atmosphere was lively and happy, and even the speed of eating slowed down a lot.
In the square, the tall and thin young man who had just failed seemed very unwilling and wanted to try in other ways.
However, the businesswoman said, "One person can only try once. If you want to try again, please line up at the back of the line. Next, please welcome the second person."
The tall and thin young man reluctantly went to the back of the line. The first person in the second line stepped forward. She was a middle-aged woman who seemed to have just gone to the market. She was carrying a fish, some vegetables, a small bag of flour, and some beef in her hand.
Then, she took out the bag of flour in front of everyone's stunned eyes. Everyone guessed what she wanted to do and couldn't help but want to say, is this also possible?
They all looked at the businesswoman, hoping that she would stop the middle-aged woman, but the businesswoman nodded and said, "Using flour to extinguish the fire does not violate the rules."
"No, it's over, it's over, this time the fire must be extinguished."
"Don't be so absolute, maybe there will be a miracle like just now?"
"A handful of flour is sprinkled down, how can the fire not be extinguished?
How can there be a miracle? "
Everyone was extremely worried. If the fire was extinguished by this middle-aged woman, then they would have no chance at all.
But what made them stare was that the middle-aged woman didn't just sprinkle a handful of flour down, she even cut the mouth of the bag completely, lifted the whole bag of flour to the oil lamp, and then with a crash, the whole bag of flour fell down, directly covering the fire, the wick, and the mouth of the oil lamp bowl. The flour powder was also sprinkled everywhere, which was spectacular.
"Hahaha, extinguished, extinguished, one million is mine."
The middle-aged woman was so happy that she jumped twice. Looking at her lively appearance, she usually danced in the square.
"Alas."
The others were disappointed. The more happy the middle-aged woman was, the more sad they were. This woman is really, how can she make a big move at the beginning? She didn't give the people behind a chance, and she, a middle-aged woman, how can she be in the front?
However, at this time, the businesswoman smiled and said, "Is the fire really extinguished?"
