Beside the glass pool station, there are several small souvenir shops.Gongping stared at one of them for a while, and then heard someone call "Gongping" behind him.Turning his head to look, he saw that Cheng Shi was pedaling his bicycle, approaching slowly. "What are you doing? I've already started thinking, did you bring any presents when you go home?" Gongping shook his head. "I don't think there's much to do, so I just thought of coming here to have some fun." "Really? Actually, are you planning to go to the beach today?" Cheng Shi's face darkened.

"Well, but it can't be helped." Until the afternoon, the police kept coming and going in and out of "Green Rock Village", and Chongzhi couldn't leave the house even half a step. "The police are still there?" "Probably have gone back. Chengshi, how is the situation at the meeting? Is it interesting?" Cheng Shi smiled wryly: "How can that kind of meeting be interesting? Gong Ping, aren't you planning to go back?" "Well, I'd like to continue walking for a while." "Really? But don't make it too late." Cheng Shi got off the bicycle and started pushing the bicycle up the slope.

Kyohei felt a little thirsty, so he bought a can of Coke from the vending machine.While drinking Coke and thinking about what to do next, Kyohei saw Yu Chuan walking towards him.Yukawa took off his coat and put it on his shoulders. "It looks like you didn't go to the beach?" Seeing Gongping, Yu Chuan said. "How did you know?" Tang Chuan pointed to Gongping's face and said, "Because your face isn't tanned at all." Gong Ping pursed his lips and said, "Those policemen ran to the house, uncle has been very busy." "What a pity. What the hell are the police investigating?"

"I don't know. I went to the rocky place just now, and it seems that they have cleaned up." "A rocky place?" Tang Chuan's lens flickered, "Do you know where the scene is?" "I know. Uncle told me. But the purpose of telling me is to keep me away from it." Tang Chuan nodded lightly and said, "Take me there." "Hey? Are you talking about me?" "Yes. Who else but you?" "Yes, yes...but there is nothing to see over there." "It's okay. Alright, let's go." Tang Chuan took the lead. A few minutes later, the two were already standing on the edge of the embankment.Although there is a cordon that prohibits entry, there is not even a policeman around.Sure enough, it's a rural place.Seeing that Yu Chuan didn't care about the cordon at all, and stepped in directly, Kyohei also walked into the cordon.He ran to the edge of the embankment and leaned out to have a look.

"It seems that he fell to his death there." Gongping pointed to a rock that seemed to be stained with blood. "I heard that there is still a wooden clog that I couldn't find. It must have fallen into the sea." "Is there another clog that I haven't found? According to this, is the other clog worn on the foot of the corpse?" "Probably so." Yu Chuan nodded and adjusted his glasses with his middle finger.He kept staring into the rocky ground, as if observing something. "what happened to you?" Tang Chuan suddenly came back to his senses and blinked.He said "nothing", and then turned his eyes to the distance: "Speaking of which, the scenery here is really beautiful. No wonder Chengshi is so proud of it."

"It is said that the scenery will be even more beautiful during the day. Do you know why this place is called 'Glass Pool'?" "I guess it's because it's located in a volcanic belt?" Tang Chuan replied lightly. "Volcano? What does volcano have to do with this place name?" "Because glass is a non-crystalline substance that is rich in volcanic rocks." Kyohei frowned, and looked at the profile of the physicist. "No. The 'glass' mentioned here actually refers to the crystal. Do you know what the 'seven treasures' are? According to Buddhism, there are seven highest treasures in this world, and crystal is one of them. "

Tang Chuan turned his head slowly, looked at Gongping and said, "Do you know Buddhism?" Gongping smiled slightly, reached out and rubbed under the nose. "This is what my uncle told me yesterday when he was setting off fireworks." "I see. So, what do those crystals have to do with this place?" "When the sun rises directly above the sea surface, the seabed will be illuminated, and it looks like countless colored crystals are buried. That's why this place is called 'Glass Pool'." Yu Chuan opened his mouth halfway and nodded.After that, he turned his head to look at the sea again.

"Is that the case? In other words, the sea water here is very clear. I have learned a lot from your words. If there is a chance, I will definitely visit it during the day." "However, I heard that you can't see this kind of scene in the shallow sea area near the shore. At least you have to go to the ocean surface about 100 meters above the sea." "About 100 meters? You can swim there." "Swimming is prohibited here." "Then go to the beach." "It seems that you really don't understand. If you start from the beach, you have to go two to three hundred meters above the sea to see the beautiful sea bottom. It is farther than the place where swimming is prohibited."

"That's right. After all, the beach is actually a shallow sea area. Then go by boat." "As expected." Gong Ping drooped his shoulders. "What's the matter? Is there any problem going by boat?" Kyohei put his arms folded in front of his chest on the embankment, and then put his chin on it. "It's okay to take a big boat. If I take a small boat, I will get seasick immediately. My mother said that this is caused by my partial eclipse, but I don't think there is any connection between seasickness and partial eclipse. This is Personal physical problems. My friends are more picky eaters than me, but they never get motion sickness."

"Motion sickness and seasickness do have a lot to do with one's physique. It's caused by your semicircular canals not functioning normally. However, as long as you pay more attention to overcome this situation, it will improve greatly. You don't Will you get carsick?" "It's okay to take my dad's car, but if I take a bus, I often get motion sickness. Therefore, every time I try to sit in the front row of the car as much as possible. Because if I sit in the front row, there will be relatively less shaking Some." "It's not just a matter of sitting in the front row, but also has a lot to do with the line of sight. For example, when the car is driving on a road with many curves, the body will be thrown outward due to centrifugal force. At this time, If your sight also flicks, then the intelligence of the semicircular canal and the visual information will become inconsistent, and the brain will be confused. In this way, people will get motion sickness. If you fix your eyes on the direction of the car If you go up in the direction, then it is less likely to have this symptom. People who get motion sickness are fine when they drive by themselves because they keep their eyes on the front."

Gongping raised his head and looked at Tang Chuan: "Doctor, do you still study these?" "These things have nothing to do with my major, but I have investigated some related technologies before." "Oh? Scientists have done enough. Next time I'm on a bus, I'll try this method you just said. But even if it works in a car, it won't work on a boat." Useful." "why?" "Because I want to see the bottom of the sea. If I keep staring straight ahead, I won't be able to see the bottom of the bottom of the boat." "That's true." "My mother told me to take less motion sickness medicine. It's a pity, but there's nothing I can do about it." Gongping left the embankment, turned around, and walked towards the way he came. "You gave up just like that?" Tang Chuan asked, "Don't you want to take a look at the glass sleeping on the bottom of the sea?" "But there's nothing I can do about it. I don't want to get seasick." After speaking, Gongping took a few steps forward, and then he stopped and turned his head away.Yu Chuan was still standing by the embankment. "Aren't you going back to the hotel?" "You go back first. I'm going to come up with a plan here." "Plan? What plan?" "Need to say? Of course it's a plan to let you see those glass too."
