I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 486: Unpredictable Nature
After entering the room and closing the door, Xia Qingdai glanced at the glass tank which had now become a fish tank, smiled slightly, and said to herself: "I feel like I have a tank of fish now."

She put the vase in her hand on the chest of drawers and decided to go to the bathroom to take a shower first. Only after washing herself clean could she fully enjoy the fun.

Xia Qingdai suddenly felt dizzy while washing, and even felt that the light on the ceiling flickered. She quickly supported her forehead with one hand and the other hand against the wall, muttering, "Hey, I'm not hypoglycemic, am I? It doesn't make sense, I ate so much for dinner."

Fortunately, the dizziness only lasted for a moment. Xia Qingdai turned her head to look at the bathroom glass window that was rustling in the wind and rain outside. She finished her shower in a few seconds and walked out of the bathroom.

While she was drying her hair, Xia Shanglu knocked on the door. She turned off the hair dryer and went to open the door. As soon as she opened the door, she heard her brother talking about an earthquake.

"Ah, earthquake?" Xia Qingdai grabbed her phone and opened it to take a look at the news on the hot search list. "It turns out that there was a big earthquake in the island country. I was wondering why I felt dizzy just now. It turned out to be an earthquake."

People who live in free shipping areas would rather suspect that they are sick than think about earthquakes when encountering such things.

"Yes, there was an earthquake. Suddenly, a warning countdown popped up on my phone, which made me nervous for a moment." Xia Shanglu put one hand in his pocket and went to his sister's side to watch the news. "Is your phone silent?"

"No." Xia Qingdai shook her head.

She won this phone by participating in a quiz event on a roadside TV station when she was in her third year of high school. It was the latest model of Apple phone at the time, but it is now outdated.

Xia Shanglu was actually just writing a rather mysterious perverted murder case. At the critical moment, the desk lamp on the table suddenly shook, which scared him. Fortunately, he was relieved when he saw the warning pop up on his mobile phone. Aftershocks are better than unscientific phenomena.

The brother and sister stood at the door and talked for a few words. Xia Qingdai quickly pushed her brother out of the door and turned around and rushed to the bay window.

Her side was affected by the big earthquake in the island country. Based on the experience of moving last time, it is possible that Lilliput Country was also affected. She had to observe it quickly.

The result was just as she expected. As soon as she rushed to the glass tank, she found that the dark blue sea below was rolling up three feet high waves. If there was no mysterious force at the mouth of the glass tank, blocking things from different time and space, the sea water would have rushed into Xia Qingdai's room.

The delegation's fleet was rising and falling with the waves in the rough sea, shaking violently.

However, Xia Qingdai was just lying in the air looking down, and she couldn't really feel the ruthlessness of the tsunami.

At this moment, all the little people on the boat were almost dying of nervousness. The roaring and running sounds were mixed in with the wind and waves, making it impossible to hear clearly.

Xia Qingdai was high above the clouds, so naturally she couldn't hear clearly.

However, she could still feel the anxious mood of the little people running around like ants on a hot pan.

Some of the little people, less than three inches long, were busy lowering sails and collecting ropes; some were holding wooden buckets and scooping out the seawater that had entered the cabin; and a few were holding on to the shaky mast and steering wheel.

There were also some people kneeling on the bow, stretching out their arms to embrace the sky, as if praying to his God to save him from the water and fire.

A bolt of lightning cut through the sky and suddenly struck the sea. A second later, Xia Qingdai heard the rumbling thunder and her heart skipped a beat.

The modern aftershocks not only created a tsunami in the Lilliputian sea, but also coincided with a storm. This is truly a case of good fortune never coming alone.

The storm came in an instant, the strong wind carried the roaring and surging waves. Another lightning flashed, and the light brought the desperate faces on several ships into Xia Qingdai's eyes.

She quickly stretched out her hands, grabbed a boat with one hand, and got away from the raging waves. But just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, another flash of lightning suddenly passed by, and then she felt a tingling and numbness in her left arm, and the boat in her hand fell into the sea.

"Hiss——" Xia Qingdai pulled her arm back abruptly, "I was struck by lightning!"

She quickly twisted her arm to check and found that there was no wound except for a slight numbness, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn, this is too dangerous!" This exciting experience forced Xia Qingdai to swear, but she didn't care about the consequences and quickly stretched her head to look at the scene on the sea.

The boat that she had just caught and dropped again was now like a small leaf being tossed around by the waves, in an even worse condition than the other boats.

After all, the time it stayed in the sky was too short, so the little people could hardly feel that it was the gods who took action. They just thought that the waves had thrown their boat high up and then dropped it.

Most of the people were knocked unconscious and terrified, but Owen, who could see Xia Qingdai's arm, was the only one who felt calm.

"No, no, I can't grab the boat with my bare hands during a thunderstorm. I need to find an insulator." Xia Qingdai didn't bother to communicate with Owen. She stood up and ran to the balcony while muttering to herself.

In the storage cabinet next to the sink, there are several pairs of rubber gloves for different uses, as well as disposable raincoats.

She unpacked the disposable plastic raincoat, quickly put it on, and then put on rubber gloves, and now she was an artificial insulator.

However, even if she was wearing insulating equipment now, Xia Qingdai, who studied science in high school, knew that it would not be absolutely insulated in a lightning environment because there would still be induced charges.

If she wanted to be more secure, she should prepare a Faraday cage, but she didn't have the metal material to modify it at the moment.

So for her own safety, Xia Qingdai would just take care of the ship Owen was on. She was already nervous enough to put a single arm into the sea during a thunderstorm, and she would not take risks for someone unrelated.

A fiery red plastic hand dropped from the sky, grabbed the small wooden boat Owen was on, and flew into the air.

She didn't dare to lift it too high, for fear of being hit by lightning. As for the other ships swaying in the sea, they could only leave it to fate. The most Xia Qingdai could do was to quickly reach out and fish them out and put them back on the boat when they were thrown into the sea by the violent turbulence of the boat, but she couldn't do more.

Owen looked at Xia Qingdai's hands wearing plastic gloves with a thoughtful look, and after a moment he suddenly realized something.

The concepts of electricity, static electricity, conductors and insulators existed in the early eighteenth century, and Owen, who regarded Newton as his idol, naturally understood them.

He hurried to the steering wheel, tightly controlled it, looked up at the nervous face behind the clouds and said anxiously, "Lightning is dangerous, please let me go, there is no need to do this."

"Oh, Owen, quickly get into the cabin and don't stick your head out. It's too dangerous." Xia Qingdai panicked when she saw Owen running out.

"Please put me down, believe me, I can control this boat. Let me fight the wind and rain freely, I will not lose." Owen really didn't want the goddess to be in any danger.

He would rather bear it all himself.

"No, that's not necessary. Just hide."
