"That won't work! The ice is too heavy. If we don't hold on tight, it will fall and shatter, and then all our fun will be for nothing!"
Zhou Chen, who was sitting not far away, remained silent for a long time before finally seizing an opportunity to speak: "Isn't it going to snow? Wouldn't it be great if we ate snow then?"
Everyone immediately realized that snow is made of water, and they were just making things difficult for themselves by thinking about how to bring the ice over.
However, Lu Yuan knew that this snow was not edible. It was not as simple as it seemed, as it contained a large amount of toxic substances. These substances were formed when the high temperatures evaporated harmful substances from chemical plants into the air and condensed. Eating this snow might not cause any problems in the short term, but eating it for a long time would definitely lead to many issues, such as lead poisoning and mercury poisoning. These are highly toxic substances, and eating too much of them could be fatal.
However, Lu Yuan couldn't reveal it directly, as that would expose his secret.
No, we need to get our family members to come up with a better solution.
After pondering for a long time, Lu Yuan called back his family who were about to go play cards.
"I think... this snow is not edible!"
Everyone looked at Lu Yuan, confused as to why he said that.
"We've all encountered toxic fog before, right?"
Everyone nodded.
Han Wen said, "Yes, we know about the poisonous fog. It's actually some lead and mercury compounds that evaporate into the sky and then react with other substances to form compounds and aerosols that dissolve in the air. But it seems like it rained before, so it should be fine, right?"
Lu Yuan shook his head: "No, it's not that simple to completely remove this stuff from the air! Besides, it basically stays in the upper atmosphere, and rainwater can't wash it away!"
"If you don't believe me, you can get some equipment to measure it! I remember we brought some instruments from Zone 5, specifically for detecting toxic substances in the atmosphere!"
