Chapter 20 Chapter 20 How did I know nothing and his friends met the engineer Rivet

The next morning, little thumbtack got up earlier than anyone else.Not knowing that Hualian and Xiaohualian were still sleeping, she went to the street to buy newspapers, and read them when she came back.At first, she read on calmly, but then a look of fear suddenly appeared on her face.She ran into the room where Quan Shi and Hualian were sleeping, and shouted, "Get up quickly! We've reported it!" "What did you say?" Quan Zhi asked in surprise after waking up, "We haven't done anything good!" "No, there's nothing good in the papers either. Just read it!"

I don't know how to pick up the newspaper and read the things published on it.In the newspaper it says: "On East Street, not far from Jelly Alley, two unknown passers-by picked up a watering hose and didn't use it properly. Instead of using it to water the flowers, they watered the passers-by. The police siren who rushed to the scene of the accident caught a public order destroyer and took him to the police station. Then, the house of the policeman collapsed. The ceiling of the room where the police siren and the destroyer he caught was staying and the wall collapsed. The two of them were not found among the debris of the collapsed house. It is still a mystery where they are now. The vandal, whose name is still unknown, has not been found anywhere. The police sentinel on duty cannot explain the cause of the collapse because he was in another room at the time. All measures have been taken to find the escaped vandal and the police siren. The cause of the collapse will soon be ascertained."

"Look, they will find out that you used the magic wand to cause the collapse. They won't praise you for it!" Little Pushpin said to Quan Wu. "You should tell no one that I have a magic wand," replied Quan Zhi. "But the police have seen that you have a magic stick." Little Pushpin said. At this time, there was a knock on the door.He didn't know that the police had come to arrest him, and he was about to hide under the table when the door opened and a small square came in. "Hi, dear friends!" he grinned loudly. "I'm glad to see you. Where did you sneak off yesterday?"

"We didn't sneak off anywhere," replied Clueless. "It's just Xiao Hualian taking a nap at the meeting, we took him to the street to get some air." "Ah, that's how it is!" cried Little Square. "I'm terrified and don't know what to do. You know I haven't kept my promise. I promised to talk to you about architecture and I promised to show you around Watermelon's house ah." "Hey, it's a small thing!" Quan Zhi said, waving his hands. "No, no, this is not a small matter. What we say here must count. I was very excited about this matter, and I didn't sleep well all night. Later, I decided to find you in the morning no matter what, so I can feel relieved Fell asleep."

"So how on earth did you find us?" asked the little pushpin. "You know, I know you're from another city, so I decided to call all the hotels and find out if they had all, little thumbtacks and little painted faces. It just so happened that the people in this hotel told me that you guys Live here." "You're so clever," said the little pushpin. "What's the big deal!" Xiao Hualian said with a sneer. "This is what every donkey can think of." "If only you could be a little more polite!" said little pushpin. "Little Hualian is right!" Xiaofangfang said with a smile. "It's really something that everyone does. Now I think we can go to Creation Street to see the house of the architect Xiaoguai."

Everyone walked out of the room, and in the corridor, Xiao Hualian didn't know anything, and whispered to him: "What's going on? Don't we have breakfast today?" "You wait for breakfast!" Quan replied angrily. "I can't put breakfast in front of Cube! Nobody's supposed to know we have a magic wand. Understand?" The travelers went down the stairs, out of the hotel, and out into the street.Looking around without fear.He was very afraid of meeting the police siren.When he saw that there was no policeman around, he was relieved when he didn't know anything.But at this time, a car stopped beside the sidewalk, and a little person jumped out of it quickly.He was wearing a silver-gray tracksuit and shorts, and on his head was a shiny round hat with headphones, not like a helmet or a steel helmet, just like the hats worn by motorcyclists.I didn't know that this was the policeman, and my heart was half cold.But the little man didn't notice it at all. He jumped up to the little cube and cried:

"Hello, little square! What a coincidence! Hahaha! Where are you going?" "Ah, hello, good friend!" Little Fangfang replied happily. "My friends and I are going for a walk. We're going to the Street of Creation. Please get to know me, this is the little thumbtack, this is the ignorance, and this is the little face." "I am very glad to meet you!" cried the little man, laughing loudly. It could be seen that he was really happy to make the acquaintance of the travelers.He quickly jumped up to the little thumbtack, and squeezed the little thumbtack's hand so hard that he almost squeezed the poor little guy to tears.He still quickly jumped to Quanwu and Xiaohualian, said hello to them and said, "My name is Little Rivet. Engineer Little Rivet."

When Xiao Hualian heard this strange name, he laughed out loud. "What's it called—little rivet?" he said in surprise. "Perhaps you meant the little latch?" "Hahaha!" Little Rivet patted Xiao Hualian's shoulder kindly and laughed loudly. "Little Hualian, you should think about it before you speak." Little Pushpin said. "If someone must say that your name is not 'Little Painted Face', but 'Little Grimace', you will feel aggrieved if you think about it?" "Little grimace! There is no such name!" Xiaohualian replied.

"But there's no such thing as 'Little Latch' either! said Little Thumbtack sternly. "No, you are wrong." Little Rivet retorted while continuing to smile. "I have an acquaintance whose name is indeed 'Little Doorbolt.' But this is a whole other little fellow, not at all like me. There are all sorts of names, I assure you, there are." The name is really ridiculous! Hahaha! As for me..." He turned to the little face and said, "My name is actually 'Little Rivet', but if you like, you can also call me 'Little Door Latch' of."

"How can this be done!" said the little thumbtack angrily. "He's gotta call you 'Little Rivet,' and that's how it should be. He's not going to be tolerated!" "It's the first time for my friends to come to Sun City." Xiaofang said. "They came to us from Baihua City." "Ah. That's what it is!" cried Little Rivet. "That means you are our guests? Why are we still standing? You're going to the Street of Creation, aren't you? Get in the car, everyone. I'll go with you, and we can drop by the clothing store if you want." I went to visit the factory, and I know all the technicians there."

Little Rivet hopped onto the car and sat behind the steering wheel.His car is streamlined and looks a bit like a squashed egg. There are four wheels underneath. The thick side of the body faces forward and the pointed end faces back. Passenger's seat.The seat is covered with an umbrella-shaped dome.The front of the wheel exposed the bumper, which looked like a leather boot. With a random push of a button, Little Rivet opened all four doors on the body of the car, and invited his friends to sit down.Xiaohualian didn't wait for others to invite him, so he went inside by himself and sat with the driver, while Little Thumbtack, Little Square and Don't Know sat behind. Just sat down, the four doors closed all at once.Little Rivet stepped on the pedal, the engine screamed, and the car rushed forward. The force was unexpected by Xiaohualian, and he almost fell out of the car.He quickly grabbed the handle on the front fender and looked straight ahead in fear.Cars go fast.It was dizzyingly fast, and it overtook all the cars running in front of it.Sometimes, it's literally jumping over other cars, with the help of special jumping equipment. This kind of jumping equipment is very simple. There is a strong elastic iron boot on the axle of each of the four wheels.When not in use, these springy boots freely protrude the heel forward to act as a cushion, which reduces shock.That is to reduce the momentum of the collision.However, as soon as the jumping device is opened, the four springy boots rotate around the axle and the wheels together.At this time, the boots support the ground with the heel, while constantly rotating, while supporting and pushing the ground, as a result, the car bounces up, can fly over any obstacles encountered on the road, fly over pedestrians and vehicles in an endless stream, and jump freely A horizontal street. Xiao Hualian was amazed by such a strange jumping car, he wanted to express his surprise, but stopped at the edge of his mouth, because he remembered his creed.But he still asked: "Please tell me, little Stud, why do you wear shorts? Don't you have long ones?" "It's cool to wear short ones." Little Rivet replied. "Then why are you wearing a hat with headphones on? It's hot in it." "It appears that you're a complete amateur at driving a car. This isn't a hat with headphones at all, it's a steel helmet. The helmet has a protective steel frame on the outside and cotton on the inside. In the event of an accident, I'm wearing the helmet and thumping If I fall down on the street with a bang, nothing will happen to my head, if I don’t wear a helmet and hit the ground, it will be... ha ha ha!" Little Rivet laughed so hard that he couldn't continue. "Do you have any spare helmets?" Xiao Hualian asked with concern. "No, I don't have a second helmet." Xiao Hualian was trembling with fear, and looked behind.He regretted sitting in the front.In case of a collision, he thought, it would be safer to sit in the back. At this time, the car was approaching the river, but instead of following the bank, it jumped over the fence and plopped directly into the river.Xiao Hualian screamed in fright, opened the car door and wanted to jump out, but the little rivet grabbed the back collar of his clothes. "Let go! We're about to sink to the bottom!" Xiao Hualian cried, desperately trying to get out. "We're not sinking to the bottom, we're swimming," said Little Rivet reassuringly. "This kind of car can not only drive on land, but also swim across rivers!" "Hmph, even if it can swim, it might drown us." Hualian said, her heart has calmed down a little. "Of course that is true." Little Rivet replied with a smile. "But don't be afraid. There are life buoys under every seat cushion in the car." Xiao Hualian immediately lifted the seat cushion, took out the life buoy, and put it on himself. "We haven't sunk yet," said Quan Mo. "It doesn't matter." Xiao Hualian replied. "If we're already sinking, it's too late." "My car can not only swim, but also fly in the air." Little Rivet said. As he spoke, he pressed the button on the dashboard with his finger, and immediately there was a buzzing sound.Don't Know and Thumbtack looked up and saw that the dome they had used as an umbrella had turned into a propeller, spinning rapidly.At this time, the car rose steadily, made a sharp maneuver, and flew above the water. "Chang——parachute, do you have one under your seat cushion?" Xiao Hualian stammered in fear. "I don't have a parachute anywhere in my car because we don't need any." "Why?" Xiao Hualian asked worriedly. "Because if you jump with a parachute, it's going to get wrapped around the propeller blades right away and you're going to be chopped to pieces along with the parachute. So if something goes wrong, it's better to jump without a parachute at all." "But, without a parachute, it will fall to the ground!" Xiao Hualian said. "Why did it fall on the ground? We are flying on water, even if we fall on the water, it won't hurt." "Then it's nothing." Xiao Hualian said. "Falling into the water is not too scary." "Of course," Owen continued. "Just don't forget to wash your face if you fall into the water, it won't do you any harm." Everyone laughed, because Xiao Hualian should really wash her face. Cars fly higher and higher, and the whole city looks as big as the palm of your hand.It is indeed a beautiful landscape.The roof shone like pearls in various colors under the sun, which was very beautiful.Some roofs are built like fish scales. "Why, are your roofs made of fish scales?" Quan Mo asked. "No," said Little Rivet. "Things you think are fish scales are actually solar cells, that is, photovoltaic cells placed on the roof. The solar energy is converted into electrical energy in the photovoltaic cells and stored in special batteries, which are used to light and heat the house, and drive elevators and conveyor belts. , to drive motors such as electric fans. The excess electricity is transmitted to the various factories and also to the central power station, where it becomes wireless electromagnetic energy, which can be transmitted anywhere without wires." "Why should solar cells be installed on the roof?" Quan Mo asked. "You can't find a better place," said Little Rivet. "Because first, the roof is always empty, no one is coming and going, and this space cannot be wasted. Second, the roof is always under the sun, and it receives the most sunlight." After the small rivet completed a circle over the river, he decided to land.The car went straight down and fell into the water with a splash, splashing a large wave.In order to show the flexibility of the car, Little Rivet drove it around the water several times, drew a few curves, and then returned to the shore.Don't know, little thumbtacks, and little painted faces really don't know what to do, are they happy or unhappy about this?Because they can't tell at all: Is it safe to drive on land, on water, or in the air in a car with small rivets?
