Chapter 4 Chapter two

Chapter two Another year passed. In the boy's country, a seminar "On Science and Philosophy" was held. Although his homework in school is better than anyone else, his test scores are not always as expected.Because he always thinks more carefully than other students, but he is ashamed to show his knowledge on the examination paper.He was interested in science and philosophy. So, he stalked the school teacher and finally got a ticket for a week's meeting.Then, every day after school, he rushed to the meeting site. "Who is that kid?" "I don't know. Probably some scientist or philosopher's child, probably waiting for his father."

At first the grown-ups thought he was special, but soon everyone got used to it. He listens carefully to the speeches of many famous scientists and philosophers every day. "... Therefore, this light,... In other words, the use of this energy has brought about the industrial revolution. But I personally think that this machine may also be misused in war..." The voice of the bald professor echoed in the high-ceilinged hall, as if talking about the invention of the laser.The ultimate conclusion is that to emit this kind of light, you must have very complicated equipment. The more he listened to it, the more he found it unbelievable. It seemed that making this device was more interesting than making toys.

However, why use such a complicated device when it is obviously sabotage? Even a boy like me can destroy things, as long as he is resentful...he thought so. The professor continued: "Now, I want to show you this experiment." Then, four big men moved a big stone onto the stage.The professor walked to the opposite side of the podium and tore off a piece of black cloth covering a person's height with a "snap". It was a machine surrounded by golden copper coils.This machine is made of steel and crystal. It is taller and wider than a person. It is about the same thickness up and down. It has a slender nose and eyes decorated with large rubies, making it daunting.The four wheels turned, and they were connected by straps made of thick wires.

The professor pressed the switch, and the machine seemed to wake up from a deep sleep, making a "buzzing" sound.The lights in the hall dimmed, and the machine shot out an arrow-like light beam from the tip of its nose, concentrated on the stone, and reflected a red dot.The hall was filled with the smell of ozone, and a hole was immediately pierced through the stone. The professor turned off the power, and the scientists and philosophers present were so shocked that they couldn't even speak a word.This machine, which can pierce a big rock through a hole, is more terrifyingly destructive than any weapon invented by humans before!

"...Is there any question?" the professor asked confidently and dignifiedly. At this time, a clear youthful voice sounded.He looked at the podium with great interest, and could no longer hold back the courage to say: "Professor! This is really a great and interesting machine! I want to try it too...but why do I have to use this thing? " "Why use it?" "Yeah, even without it, everyone can break the stone!" The professor looked at the child and couldn't help but smile wryly. "Oh...everyone can break stones?" "Yes!" The boy walked to the front.

"Well, how do we destroy it?" "How to destroy? Well... how to put it... First, look at the stone intently, and then it will look back at you. Once the stone's sight is turned back, it will generate twice as much energy as before. Put that energy Bounce back again, and it will look back again. Maybe the sight will bounce back again, and finally the stone will be overwhelmed and it will shatter." He spoke in an unsure tone.All the adults in the hall burst out laughing. The professor said: "This kid is really interesting. If you can, then you can try it!"

He did as he said, staring intently at the big stone on the podium, and then made a loud noise like lightning, and the stone shattered into four pieces in an instant. The scientists and philosophers stood up in shock, and the professor's face was as pale as a skull. There was an uproar in the hall, and everyone couldn't believe their eyes. The meeting was interrupted.In order to reconfirm what just happened, the scholars decided to go outside and do another experiment. There is a wide open space in the yard, which is full of stones. "This stone is good." A scientist said.

They elected six trusted scientists and philosophers to form an emergency committee. Two scientists were tasked with investigating the size, weight, shape and type of stones. "This stone is the hardest granite, and it came with the movement of glaciers." The two philosophers examined the stone carefully again. "There is no explosives or anything like that, it's pure natural stone." The other two were questioning the boy. "A normal boy." "So, little boy, can you break the stone from ten meters away? Ten meters shouldn't be too far away."

"Well, it's not too far if you can see it." "okay." "Then let's watch it again." The six men on the emergency committee, with notebooks in one hand and pencils in the other, waited for the moment of truth.The other scholars, who were a hundred meters away, also waited with bated breath.The guy was staring intently at the solid rock. Creak...creak...click! As before, the hard stone was torn apart and broken into pieces.The table-sized flat rock below the stone also shattered. "Little boy, have you ever shown your supernatural powers?" said the chairman of the emergency committee.

"Well, no." "May I ask you to come here again tomorrow morning?" "Well, you can come, but it's already dinner time. I have to go home quickly, or I'll be scolded. That's it, everyone, I'll go first, goodbye!" "Ah! You can go home, but first, please write your name, address, and school in the notebook?" "What a hassle..." he muttered to himself. A boy holding a pen and paper is lost in thought.For reading, he has no problem, but when it comes to writing, it really worries him.Because he thinks reading is "IN" and writing is "OUT"...

At this time, another scientist said in a panic: "Little boy, can you lend me that one?" Then, he took the pencil and notebook in his hand, wrote something on it, and handed it to the university. teaching assistant. Taking advantage of this gap, he slipped away. "Hey, wait a minute!" He waved and shouted, "I'll be back tomorrow!" As he spoke, his figure gradually disappeared. As soon as he left, the scholars returned to the Great Hall for an emergency meeting. "The matter of that child must be reported to the government." "No, no, more experiments should be done." "No, if the government finds out about the child, it will be used casually and cause a lot of trouble..." At the back of the hall, the scientist who created the machine of terrible power, was gloomy and lost in thought. The oldest scholar in the emergency committee said: "The government must know about the child. But before reporting, we have the responsibility to protect his safety. Everyone, can we guarantee the child's safety?" Hearing these words, the other scholars looked at each other. At this time, the inventor of the machine quietly ran out from the back door of the hall alone.
