Chapter 24 Chapter 24

Little pushpin and little painted face went to Happy City with little crucian carp, and played chess with the robot without knowing it.Before he had gone ten steps, he was checked to death.He decided to play another game, but he lost again after five or six moves.The third time, three moves are checkmates.The robot seems to have discovered the weakness of playing chess without knowing it, and found a way to win him in the shortest time. A little man who was sitting at the table next to Quanzhi and playing chess said that it was too early for him to play chess with such a complicated robot, and it would be better to start playing against a small robot, which would be simpler.Quan didn't know that there were other automatic chess machines in Xiangqi City, so he came out from behind the table and looked for a robot that matched his level.Before he had gone ten paces, he came across a little girl in a beautiful white dress with chess pieces of every color printed on it, and a crown on her head, just like the queens in chess.

She smiled at nothing like an old friend, and said, "Hello!" "Hello!" Nobody replied. "Where did you and I meet?" "You're not ashamed. You don't know! Have you forgotten? You've been to our garment factory." "Ah, that's right!" Quan Zhi shouted. "Now that I think about it, you are Xiaoxianer." "That's right!" Xiaoxian'er said with certainty. "Come, let's sit on the bench together. It's beautiful here." They sat on the bench, and the little thread said: "We haven't forgotten you, and we often think of your visit. We had a good time. Remember? The little needle said to the little rivet: 'You are not a horse, and you are not in a horse. In the room, you go home and hum!' Hahaha! Now as long as anyone of us laughs, we say: 'You are not a horse, and you are not in the stable, you go home and hum, it is over Come back again!'"

Xiaoxian'er and Quanzhi smiled happily. "Say, do you like our city?" Xiao Xianer asked. "I like it." Don't know the answer. "You've got all kinds of cars here, movie theaters, theaters, shops, and canteens. You've got everything!" "Then your place is not like ours?" "Where can it be?" Quan Zhi shook his hand. "If we want apples, we have to climb a tree, and if we want strawberries, we have to grow them all over again; but if we want hazelnuts, we have to go to the woods. It's easy here - you just go to the cafeteria and eat them if you want them." You can eat whatever you want, but we have to work first, and then we can eat."

"We work too!" Xiaoxian retorted. "Some people grow food and vegetables in the fields, and some people make all kinds of things in factories, and then everyone takes what he needs in the store." "But you have machines!" replied Omniscience. "We don't have machines. We don't have shops. You all live together, and each of us lives in a small house, alone and messy. In my house, for example, there are two Mechanics, but no tailor. In the other house there are only tailors, but there is no mechanic. If you need trousers, go to the tailor, and he won't give you trousers for free, because if you give them trousers for free, That……"

"Then I won't have pants!" Xiaoxian'er laughed. "It's worse than this!" Quan Zhi said, shaking his hand. "Not only will he have no pants, but he'll be hungry because he can't sew and cook at the same time." "This, of course, is the case." Xiao Xian'er said. "That means you should give the tailor a pear for these trousers," continued Little Wuzhi.If the tailor doesn't need pears but a table, go to the carpenter, give him pears, let him make a table for you, and then exchange the table for trousers from the tailor.However, the carpenter may also say that instead of pears he needs an axe, you have to go to the blacksmith.Maybe it goes like this: when you go to the carpenter with the ax, he doesn't need the ax anymore because he found it elsewhere.Then you'll have no pants, just an axe! "

"Yes, this is really too bad!" Xiao Xianer said with a smile. "It's not that bad, because everything has a way out," replied Omniscience. "At least, friends won't let you down, someone will give you trousers or lend you a period. The bad thing is that some little people suffer from a terrible disease-greediness or miserliness disease. This kind of miserly little person takes everything he gets to his house, whether he needs it or not. There is a little person in our place named Xiaozhierbing. His house is full of all kinds of things. All kinds of rags. He thought that all these rags might buy him what he needed. Besides, he had a lot of treasures, which were useful to others, but piled up with dust in his place. He has a lot of jackets of all kinds and countless jackets. There are twenty jackets alone, and not less than fifty pants. All these things are piled on the floor. In fact, even he himself doesn't remember what he has and what he doesn't, and some little people take advantage of this. If anyone needs trousers or a jacket urgently, they go to this junk pile to pick, and Little Pie doesn't even notice that something is missing. But if he finds out, you'll have to be careful, he'll yell like hell and you'll run out the door."

Listening to this story, Xiaoxian'er laughed very hard. Later, her face became serious and she said, "It's shameful to laugh at people who are sick! Fortunately, none of us here can suffer from this terrible disease. Why do we hoard a great deal of clothes, when we can always get the best clothes in the shops? Besides, fashions are always changing, and clothes don't wear them when they're out of date. Well!" Little Line thought of it. "Where do your friends live? Little thumbtacks and this...little grayface, right?" "It's not a little gray face, it's a little face," Quan Zhi corrected her. "They went to Happy City with the little crucian carp. I stayed here to play chess with the robot."

"Have you been down?" "Three times, I didn't win once." After Xiao Xianer knew that Quanzhi had played chess with the big robot, he told him that this robot was designed by the chess champion Xiaoqi, so it would be difficult for even experienced chess players to beat it.Playing chess with it, even if it is a tie, is considered a great success. If anyone wins a game of chess with the robot, he has the right to compete with the champion's small chess piece in the final for the championship. Chess City has prepared many robots with relatively simple electronic equipment for players with little experience like Quan Zhi, and it is much easier to win against them.In addition, many robots have some supplementary equipment, which makes it fun for competitors.For example, there is a robot with a very funny grimace, sniffing around with its nose up, and scratching the back of its head with its hands, which is really fun.Another robot grimaces in soft plastic when it makes a good move.There is a solemn smile on the face, and when it is about to win, its mouth has been grinning to the ears; what if it loses?It just makes a pitiful grimace, which makes you laugh when you see it.There is also such a robot, when the electric light on its nose is turned on, the whole nose will glow red, and at the same time, the hair will stand on end on its head.

In addition, there are robots that represent the various personalities of the contestants.One of them frowned before walking.I don't know why I always pull my nose with my hands, and then, hesitantly pick up the chess pieces from the chessboard, holding them in my hands for a long time, as if thinking deeply, how to move well?After finally taking a step, he quickly grabbed the chess pieces back, pretending to be thinking.These tricks of the robot annoy some of the impatient players, so that their game is not so boring.There is also a robot that must hum a few times, hum a few times, cough a few times, turn its head, shrug its shoulders, and spread its hands before walking; In a word, for example: "Oh, how do you move? Well, look at me!" Or: "Now I'll show you how to play chess!" Or: "Now you're screwed. "This uses a magnetic tape recorder, that is, a recording device with a magnetic tape on which various words can be recorded. Before each step, the tape recorder is automatically turned on, so that the robot can hear the speech.

Every robot has a name.For example, the large robot that can play thirty-two chessboards is called "giant".The robot that says "now you're screwed" is called "Fucked".And the one who scratches the back of the head is called "savage" for some reason.After Xiaoxianer introduced all the robots to Quanwu.Quan Zhi has played a game of chess with every robot, but there is only one "savage" he can play. "Look, you already have grades!" Xiaoxian said. "You need to come here and practice." When Quan Zhi was playing chess, Little Thumbtack and Little Painted Face were having fun in Happy City.The game here starts as soon as the visitors arrive at the entrance.This entrance is not a gate, nor a fence, nor a small gate, but a wide metal pipe like a tunnel, rolling continuously, and anyone who tries to pass through it, if he uses ordinary methods, he will definitely fall. Because his feet always slipped to the side.In order to maintain balance, you must not walk in a straight line, but gently walk with your feet diagonally.Some little people have practiced walking in this way so well that they can even walk through the pipe without shaking or shaking.However, there are not many such people.Most tourists cannot enter Happy City without first rolling a few times in the tube.

In front of this rotating tube, there is usually a group of little people standing there, laughing at those who dare to try to pass through the tube.Little pushpin, little crucian carp, and little painted face stood in the crowd and laughed along with them.Xiao Hualian laughed very loudly, he thought it would not be difficult to pass through the pipe at all, and the people who fell down were all because they were too stupid.After Xiao Hualian laughed for a while, she decided to show her dexterity, and boldly walked into the pipe.Before he could take a step, he slipped and rolled around in the cylinder like a stick, spilling the sweets from his pocket.Xiao Hualian picked up the candy and stuffed it into his pocket. At the same time, he tried his best to stand up, but he couldn't stand upright, and fell down again as soon as he stood up.In this way he somersaulted in the cylinder, and finally fell out on the other side.These silly appearances aroused roars of laughter from the villains. "Look, we started to be happy before we reached the happy city." The little crucian carp said to the little thumbtack. "You see, the way to make people laugh here is very simple. At first you laugh at others, and then you climb into the pipe yourself, and then others will laugh at you." After saying these words, the little crucian carp walked into the cylinder.Despite his fat body, he walked the whole distance with great agility, and only slipped once when he was two steps away from the mouth of the pipe, which naturally made the crowd laugh.Then, the little thumbtack is gone.Everyone thought she was going to fall too, and they were all ready to laugh at her, but the little thumbtack moved his feet deftly without falling once. Entering Pleasure City, the travelers walked along the tree-lined path and came to a field with a large wooden circle in the middle.This circle is called the ghost wheel.As soon as a person sits on it, the ghost wheel spins rapidly, and the centrifugal force throws the person sitting on it down. The travelers spun a few times on the ghost wheel before falling down and falling to the ground. Then they continued walking and stopped in front of the magic mirror.This mirror is not flat, but uneven. As a result, the little person looking in the mirror has a long head, like a pea pod, and short legs, like a goose; In reverse: the legs become long, like macaroni, and the head becomes flat, like an oil bottle.Then the nose elongated too, and the face slanted to one side, until at last it looked like nothing at all. Seeing all these changes, I couldn't help laughing. After laughing, my appetite was whetted, so the traveling companions went to the cafeteria to eat, and after lunch, they went to sit on the pulley atomic automatic chair and ball automatic roller skates. The atomic automatic chair is very similar to an ordinary chair, or like a small armchair with foot pads, except that its legs are soft rubber pulleys.There is a small atomic thruster under the chair that pushes the chair. To ride an automatic seat, you don't need to learn to drive at all.Just sit on it and say, "Go!" and the chair will move forward automatically.Just say: "Faster!" or: "Slower!" and the chair will instantly speed up or slow down.If you say "right" or "left", the chair will immediately turn to the right or left, if you say: "stop!" - the chair will stop immediately. All this need not be said aloud, just whispered, or even not said aloud at all, just think in your own mind.Little Thumbtack and Little Painted Face wanted to know why this happened.The little crucian carp said that it was because the shelf below received radio signals from the feet of the little man sitting on the chair, and transmitted these signals to special electronic equipment, which activated the propellers, adjusted the speed, and turned right or left. It is the mechanism to turn left. "What signal will our feet have?" Xiao Hualian asked. "I don't have any signals coming from my feet." "It's just that you didn't notice it." The little crucian carp replied. "These signals are very weak, but they are there. As soon as you think the word 'forward', an electrical impulse is sent from the nerves of your brain to your feet, and the electronic equipment of the automatic chair receives it. .” Xiao Hualian sat on the automatic chair, observed with great interest how the chair listened to his thoughts, and then said: "Well, I think this kind of chair is better than a magic wand that doesn't know anything, as long as you turn right or left, Once you think about it, it will come true, but you still have to wave the magic wand, mutter words, and say what you want to do. All in all, it is really troublesome!" It is enough to slide on the automatic chair, and the little painted face, the little thumbtack and the little crucian carp go to slide the ball automatic skates. The skates also have the same electronic equipment as the automatic chair, that is to say, they can slide from the feet of the little people who are skating. Receive an electrical pulse and send him where he wants to go. Little crucian carp said: At present, these automatic chairs and automatic skates are only available in parks, but they will be popularized soon, and they can be used to travel all over the city.In the future, it is possible that no one will ride in a car, but will switch to an automatic chair. One day passed without knowing it, little thumbtack, little crucian carp, and little painted face went back to Chess City, found Quan Zhi and Xiao Xian'er, and then they all went to Drama City to watch a play together. From then on, little thumbtacks and little painted faces can be seen in Happy City every day, but they don't know it but stay in Chess City all day long.He often meets Xiaoxianer here, and often chats with her about everything.But the main thing they talked about was chess.Xiao Xianer is a chess fan, and she is very happy that she has also become a fan of chess, or, as they say in Sun City, "became a fan of chess."
