from Paul, our master builder.

來自保羅，我們的建築大師。

I not only need his power tool skills,

There are the Peltier modules.

有佩爾蒂埃模塊。

They need electricity, so we are powering them

他們需要電力，所以我們為他們提供電力。

using solar panels.

使用太陽能電池板。

The Peltier models help to take heat away

珀爾帖模型有助於帶走熱量

from inside the cooler and disperse it.

從冷卻器裡面出來，並將其分散開來。

Our evaporative cooling device

我們的蒸發冷卻裝置

cools the outside of the Peltier modules

冷卻珀爾帖模塊的外部

to maximize their efficiency.

以使其效率最大化。

And, lastly, for some geothermal cooling,

最後，是為了一些地熱製冷。

we're burying the cooling box and evaporative cooling device

我們正在埋設冷卻箱和蒸發冷卻裝置

in the ground to keep it colder

埋在地下以保持寒冷

and its temperature stable.

並且其溫度穩定。

More about that later.

稍後會有更多關於這個問題的介紹。

Oh, God, I'm so deep in the hole.

哦，上帝啊，我已經陷得很深了。

Psych! Okay.

心理!好的。

So, if you're wondering why I'm digging this hole,

所以，如果你想知道我為什麼要挖這個洞。

it's 'cause I'm trying to teach you all

這是因為我想教給你們所有人

how to bury a body. I kid.

如何埋葬一具屍體。我的孩子。

So we're digging this hole to put the cooler in,

所以我們在挖這個洞，把冷卻器放進去。

and it's actually gonna help it keep cold,

而且它實際上會幫助它保持低溫。

because the Earth has so much more mass,

of those geological properties

這些地質特性的

in order to keep our cooler cool.

Mitchell: With the temperature above 35 degrees Celsius,

We've got our scaffolding, and I've got, you know, my coverage and booties

我們有我們的腳手架，而我有，你知道，我的覆蓋和靴子

to make sure I don't get any paint all over me.

以確保我不會把任何油漆弄到身上。

The temperature right now-- I'm gonna check it--

現在的溫度 -- 我去看看 --

is at 53 degrees Celsius, so more than halfway to boiling.

是在53攝氏度，所以超過了沸騰的一半。

Okay, let's explore what makes white paint so special.

好吧，讓我們來探討一下，是什麼讓白色油漆如此特別。

So, why is it that different colors

那麼，為什麼不同的顏色

are better at reflecting light?

在反射光線方面更好？

Whenever you look around you and see something colorful,

每當你環顧四周，看到色彩斑斕的東西。

you're actually seeing the spectrum of visible light

你實際上看到的是可見光的光譜

that the object is not absorbing.

該物體沒有吸收。

Plants, for example, appear green

例如，植物出現綠色

because they mostly absorb the blue and red spectrum

因為它們主要吸收藍色和紅色光譜

and not green light, which is then bounced

而不是綠光，然後被反彈到

off the plant and hits your eye.

從植物上掉下來，砸到你的眼睛。

When something appears white, that actually means

當某些東西出現白色時，這實際上意味著

that every color is bouncing back to your eye,

每種顏色都會反彈到你的眼睛。

because, like a prism that splits white light into a rainbow,

因為，就像一個稜鏡把白光分割成彩虹一樣。

white is actually all of the colors combined.

白色實際上是所有顏色的組合。

And it's the material or chemical makeup on an object

而它是物體上的材料或化學構成

that defines how light will interact with it.

界定了光與它的互動方式。

For example, our paint contains titanium dioxide in it,

例如，我們的塗料中含有二氧化鈦。

which reflects around 80 to 90% of light,

它能反射大約80-90%的光線。

ultimately making it appear white.

最終使其呈現白色。

All right, first part is always the scariest.

好吧，第一部分總是最可怕的。

Ooh-la-la!

哦-拉-拉!

Okay, that's very white. That's awesome.

好吧，那是非常白的。這真是太棒了。

This is easy.

這很容易。

Now I just have to be careful I don't step backwards and die.

現在我只需要小心，不要讓我退步，不要讓我死。

Greg: The next step in my build

格雷格：我的建設的下一個步驟

is the insulated box for the fridge,

and it's something I'm not looking forward to.

而這是我不期待的事情。

First, we have to glue this foam insulation,

首先，我們要把這個保麗龍保溫材料粘起來。

before we build the exterior of our cooler,

在我們建造冷卻器的外部之前。

but it is a separate AsapScience episode

I think you should just do it. Or I'll do it!

我想你應該直接去做。或者由我來做!

I'm strong. Okay.

我很堅強。好的。

Aah! I hate it. I don't know, please.

啊！我討厭它。我不知道，求你了。

Oh-kay. I know I seem insane, but I'm not kidding.

哦，好的。我知道我看起來瘋了，但我不是在開玩笑。

Oh, God, oh, God.

哦，上帝，哦，上帝。

Ho! ( imitating squirting sound )

吼！(（模仿噴水的聲音）。)

So skilled, so skilled.

如此熟練，如此熟練。

You could do this at home with a normal cooler

你可以在家裡用一個普通的冷卻器來做這件事

that you just bought from a store,

你剛從商店買來的。

but we've got Paul here.

但我們這裡有保羅。
