Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Little Bread's Mistakes

Don't know lied, in fact he really wanted to fly to the moon.He had been hoping that Know-it-all would forget what had happened and not carry out his threats.But he was looking forward to it in vain.The know-it-all didn't forget anything.After some days, when the date of departure was confirmed, Know-it-all drew up a list of shorties to fly to the moon.As might be expected, there is no know-it-all on this list.There was also no Bun and several other dwarfs who could not adapt to weightlessness. I don't know, as usual, it's painful as hell.He doesn't want to talk to anyone.The smile disappeared from his face.Appetite has decreased.He couldn't sleep for a minute at night, and the next day he walked around in a troubled manner, which made people feel pitiful.

"Can't you forgive ignorance?" said Little Herring to Know-It-All. "I don't think he's going to be naughty anymore. Besides, he's very well adapted to weightlessness. It's too much of a punishment for him." "It's not a punishment, it's a preventive measure," replied Passionate sternly. "Traveling to the moon is no happy idleness. Only the brightest and most disciplined runts are allowed to take the trip. Omnignosia is well adapted to zero gravity, but his mental abilities leave much to be desired. If you don't know how to discipline yourself, you will not only suffer for yourself, but will also cause trouble for others. The universe is not the kind of thing you can joke with. It is better to let all know to wait for the next time, and let it be in this period of time He got smarter. That's my decision!"

As soon as Little Herring heard Know-it-all's answer so firmly, he never mentioned the matter again. Quan Zhi gradually calmed down a bit, not as frowning as before.Appetite is back.Sleep is also better.Go to Cosmic City with the other dwarfs, watch the experiments on rockets, watch the training of travelers before they set off for the moon, listen to Fuchsia and Little Herring give lessons about the moon and about interplanetary flight.It seems that Quanzhi has completely resigned to his own destiny, and no longer fantasizes about traveling to the moon.Even his ignorant temper seems to have changed.The most observant of the dwarfs noticed what was going on in their minds.Whenever he was thinking about something, a smile immersed in fantasy appeared on his face, as if he didn't know why he was happy.However, no one could guess what made him feel so happy.

Once, I didn't know that I met Little Bread and said, "I said, Little Bread, now I have the same disease as you." "What disease?" Little Bread didn't understand. "Hey, don't take you to the moon. Don't take me either." "I can't go to the moon. I'm too heavy. The rocket can't carry me." Little Bread said. "Stupid!" Don't know the answer. "Anyone who flies in a rocket will be in zero gravity, so it doesn't matter whether you weigh or not. Everyone weighs nothing. Understand?" "Then why didn't you take me? It's not fair!" Little Bread said loudly.

"Don't mention how unfair it is!" Quan Zhi echoed. "Unfair beyond words. Let's put this inequity right." "How to correct it?" "The night before we took off, we got into the rocket and hid. We got out again in the morning, when the rocket flew into space. They won't bring the rocket back for the two of us." "Is it possible to do such a thing?" Little Bread asked. "Why not? You are so weird! Do you understand that the most important thing is not to let them kick us out when we are on Earth. In the universe, they will let us go, so you can rest assured."

"Where are we hiding?" "Hide it in the food compartment. It's comfortable there, and there's plenty of food." "There's plenty of food—that's great!" said Little Bread. "However, the calculation in the rocket is to accommodate forty-eight travelers." "That's nonsense!" said Omniscient. "Where have I seen that there are forty-eight travelers. What kind of number is this? Think about it for yourself. It should be fifty if you round up the number. Where you can hold forty-eight, you can also hold fifty. Besides, we don't need a place in the passenger cabin; we'll stay in the food compartment. As the saying goes, though squeezed, don't suffer."

"Do you really know that there is food in the food compartment?" Little Bread asked. "I've seen it with my own eyes, it's not human to lie!" Quan Zhi swore. "Brother, I have studied the rocket up and down. Whatever you want, I can find it for you with my eyes closed." "Well, that's fine." Little Bread agreed. On the night before the flight was scheduled to take off, Quanzhi and Xiaobao didn't lie down to sleep.After all the dwarfs fell asleep, they sneaked out of the building and walked towards the universe city.The night was very dark, and Little Bun was shaking with fright.He was terrified out of his wits at the thought that he would soon be taken into cosmic space.He regretted that he had participated in such a dangerous business, but he was embarrassed to admit to Quanzhi that he was afraid.

When Quanzhi and Xiaobao came to Universe City, it was already very late.The moon has risen, and the surroundings are a little brighter.Our two friends slid past the building and came to the edge of the circle.A space rocket towers over the center of the field.Under the shining blue moonlight, the steel shell of the rocket shone brightly, and Quan Wu and Xiaobao felt as if the rocket itself was shining. It seemed to be made of a kind of luminous metal.Its outline has a brave, straight forward, irresistible spirit about to rush upwards: it makes people feel that the rocket is about to leave its position and fly to a high place.

Quan Zhi and Xiao Bian wanted to avoid being noticed as much as possible, so they bent down and slipped across the field with a low waist.When he came to the rocket, he pressed his finger on the button on the tail of the rocket.A small door opened silently, and a small metal ladder fell at the feet of the travelers.Seeing Little Bread dallying, Quan Wu grabbed his arm.Together they went up the ladder and into a so-called lock room.It was like a small room with two sealed doors.One leads to the outside, and Quan Zhi and Bun walk into the rocket through this door.The other door leads into the spaceship.

The two friends had just entered the lock room.The outside door automatically closed.When Little Bread saw that the way back had been cut off, his heart was terrified.He tried to say something, but his tongue seemed to freeze in his mouth, and his head became like an empty bucket.He couldn't figure out what he was thinking, or if he was really thinking.For some reason, the words of a song he had heard before kept playing in his mind: "Farewell, sweet birch! Farewell, dear pine!" Those words made him cry with grief and sorrow. At this time, Quan Zhi pressed the button next to the other door.The door also opened silently.Without knowing it, he stepped in.Little Bread followed him in mechanically.

"Farewell, sweet Birch!" he muttered sadly. "There's nothing to say this time!" Click - sound.The second door closed as tightly as the first.It seemed an impenetrable wall separating our travelers from the outside world, from everything that had hitherto connected them. "I don't have anything to say this time," Little Bread repeated, scratching the base of his ears with his hands. Unaware that the elevator door had already been opened, he tugged at the sleeve of the bun and said, "Let's go! You still have time to tickle!" Little Bread walked into the elevator car silently.He was as pale as a ghost.The car rose upward with an even humming sound.When it had risen to the desired height, Omniscience stepped out and said: "Hey, come out! Why are you acting like a dead man?" Xiaobao stepped out of the elevator and saw himself in a winding and narrow corridor, which surrounded the elevator shaft like a ring.After walking in the corridor for a while, he stopped at a small round metal door without knowing it.The little door looked like the door of a steamship boiler. "That's it. This is the food compartment." Quan Mo said. He pressed the button.The door opened like an open animal's mouth.Quan didn't know how to test the steps with his feet in the dark, and got into this mouth.Reaching the bilge, he found the switch on the wall and turned the light on. "Hey, come down, come here!" He shouted to Bun. Little Bun climbed down.His knees were shaking with fear, so he stepped on the ground and rolled straight down the steps into the cabin.Fortunately, the walls, bilge, and even the steps in the cabin are all covered with elastic plastic.So he didn't fall hard.All the rooms in the rocket are covered with this plastic.This is done to prevent someone from accidentally falling in zero gravity. Quan didn't know that the bun didn't fall at all, so he closed the door, smiled happily and said, "We're home! Who can find us!" "How do we get out?" Little Bread asked fearfully. "You can get out the same way you got in. Look, there is a button next to the door, right? When you press it, the door opens. Everything here is operated by the button." I don't know how to press various electric buttons to open the doors of closets, warming cabinets, and refrigerators. There are various foods stored on the shelves inside.But Little Bread was very disappointed, he didn't even feel happy when he saw the food. "What's the matter with you? You seem unhappy?" Quan Wu asked strangely. "Why aren't you happy? I'm very happy." Little Bread replied, he looked like a criminal who committed a serious crime and was about to be executed. "Well, since you're happy, lie down and go to sleep. It's getting late." After Quan didn't know, he lay down straight on the bottom of the cabin, and put a fist under his head as a pillow.The buns did the same.Now that he was more comfortable lying on the soft plastic, he considered his situation, and a thought grew in his mind that it would be best to forego the trip.He wanted to tell Quan Zhi that he didn't want to fly anymore, but he thought that Quan Zhi would laugh at him and blame him for being cowardly.At this time, he heard the snoring sound of Quanzhi, and he was sure that Quanzhi was fast asleep, so he got up, tried not to step on his arm, and slipped to the door. "I got out of the rocket and ran home, and this time I have nothing to say," he thought. "I don't know if he wants to, let him fly to the moon by himself." Little Bread held his breath, walked up the steps, and pressed the button next to the door.The door opened.Bun drilled out of the food compartment.Walk up in the small winding corridor, trying to find the elevator door.He was not as familiar with the structure of the rocket as he was completely ignorant, so he walked around the corridor several times, returning to the food compartment every time. Little Bread woke up and found that he was missing, so he became anxious again and lost his composure.Then he found the elevator door anyway.Without thinking, he got on the elevator and pressed a button at random.Instead of going down, the elevator went up.Little Bread didn't notice this, he looked for the door of the lock room where he could go outside when he got out of the elevator.Of course he couldn't find the lock chamber, because there was no lock chamber here, but he went to the button room and felt the wall in the dark, trying to find the switch.He failed to find the switch, but bumped into a small table in the middle of the chamber, and found a button on the table.Little Bread thought to himself, using this button would definitely turn on the light, so he pressed it, but immediately jumped up in a state of weightlessness.At the same time he heard the regular roar of jet engines starting to work. The most astute readers will probably think of it at once, and the little bread is pressing the button that turns on the electronic control machine.The electronic control machine, as the designer had predetermined, automatically turned on the weightlessness instrument, the jet engine, and all other equipment. As a result, the rocket began spaceflight at a moment that no one expected. If any of the residents of Universe City woke up and looked out of the window at this time, he would be very surprised to see the rocket slowly leaving the ground and flying steadily into the air.It happened almost silently.A stream of fiery air blasted out from the lower nozzle of the engine with a slight hiss.The reaction force generated by this airflow is enough to push the rocket, because with the weightlessness instrument, the rocket itself has no weight at all. , After the rocket has risen to a sufficient height, the electronic control machine immediately activates the steering device. Therefore, the head of the rocket begins to perform a circular motion, and the more it turns, the greater the inclination.Now, the rocket has such a large tilt angle that the moon appears in the field of view of the optical instrument equipped with photocells.Light from the moon is converted into electrical signals by photocells.After receiving this signal, the electronic manipulator activated the automatic aiming device.Therefore, after a few damping oscillations, the rocket aligned itself and flew straight to the moon.The rocket was already aimed at the moon, as it is commonly said, with the help of the automatic aiming device.When the rocket deviates from the predetermined course for some reason, the automatic aiming device can immediately bring the rocket back to the predetermined course. At the beginning, Little Bread didn't even realize what a terrible thing he had done.Little Bread felt that he was already in a state of weightlessness, so he used his hands and feet to leave the button room, thinking that there might be no weightlessness in other places.After some effort, he left the button room and went back to the elevator.This time, he had a good time to study the button in the elevator car, and he happened to press the right button that would make the car fall to the lowest level, that is, the button at the tail of the rocket. He got out of the elevator and went to the door of the lock room. As mentioned earlier, you can go outside through the lock room.Little Bread found a button on the wall next to this door.However, no matter how many times he pressed on it, no matter how much he kicked the door, the door never wanted to open.Little Bread didn't know that the door of the lock room could only be opened if he put on a space suit. It should be said that thanks to him not knowing this.If he had put on the flight suit in advance and pressed the button, the door would have opened, and the bun would have left the rocket and fell directly into space.If so, of course he will never be able to return home, because he will remain in the universe moving like a planet for the rest of his life.Little Bread beat and kicked the door, decided to go back to find Quan Shi, and insisted on getting out of the Rockets.But he was unable to carry out this decision, because he forgot which layer he was on.He had no choice but to search layer by layer, drilling into all the cabins, cabins, and compartments.It's getting late.Little Bread is very tired and wants to sleep very much.you could put it that way.If Little Bread could still stand, he would be too tired to stand up.Because of the weightlessness, it was impossible for Little Bread to stand, but to swim like a crucian carp in a tank, bumping his head against the wall from time to time, and flipping somersaults in the air.Then he couldn't think of anything at all.His head was groggy, his eyes closed naturally, exhausted his last bit of strength, and finally fell asleep.At this time he was ascending in the elevator. At this time, Quan Zhi was sleeping carefree in the food cabin, and didn't even feel that the space voyage had begun.But he woke up in the night and couldn't understand why he was here instead of lying in bed at home. He slowly remembered that he had slipped into the rocket on purpose.Knowing that he felt the weightlessness and noticed the uniform roar of the jet engine, he knew that the spaceship was flying. "So, while I was sleeping, Jack-of-all-trades and the other dwarfs boarded the spaceship and set sail for the moon. It turned out exactly as I expected!" thought Quan Don. There was a happy smile on his face, and he felt as if something was jumping left and right in his heart.He was about to break out of his hiding place, go find Know-It-All, and confess to him that he had slipped into Rocket without permission.He thought about it again, and decided to wait a little longer, until the rocket flew farther away from the earth. "It's too late to tell Master of Everything. There's no need to be busy with this matter," Quan Mo thought. Then he thought of Little Bread, looked around and said, "Excuse me, dear friends, where is Little Bread? I got into the compartment with him!" Little did he know that the hatch was open. "Ah! That's it. Little Bread has woken up and got out," Quan Bu thought. "Well, in that case, it doesn't make sense for me to stay here alone." Quan Zhi climbed out of the compartment, opened the elevator door, and saw the bun lying inside. "Ah, so you ran here!" Quan Zhi said loudly. "Do you feel it? We are flying nat" "What?" Little Bread asked sleepily, and yawned with a wide grin. "We're flying!" Quan Wu shouted excitedly. "Where are you going?" Little Bread asked, rubbing his eyes with his fists. "Fly to the moon. Where else can I fly?" "What moon?" "Hey, what moon...you don't know what moon there is!" Little Bread began to understand what had happened.He stared blankly for a while, then yelled like crazy: "Fly to the moon?!" "To the moon!" Quan Zhi happily confirmed. "Are we flying?!" "It's us flying, that's right!" Quan Bu shouted, he couldn't restrain his joy, and rushed to hug Little Bread. Little Bread was so frightened that he couldn't breathe, his jaw drooped, his eyes were wide open, and he looked at nothing with motionless and unblinking eyes. "Where are the others? Haven't you seen them?" Quan Mo asked without noticing Little Bread's strange expression. "What-what-don't-someone else?" Little Bread stammered in panic. "Well, where's the other runts? Where's the know-it-all?" "Are they difficult—is it here?" "That's not it! Why are we flying, anyway? When we were sleeping in the compartment, everyone came and took off. Got it? Let's go up there right now, and find them in the cabin. " I didn't know how to press the button, and the elevator took them to the upper floor. "They'll be shocked to see us!" said Quan, stopping at the door of one of the cabins. "We walked in right away and said, 'Hello, we're coming!' Hahaha!" Quan Zhi laughed and tremblingly opened the cabin door, saw that there was no one in the cabin, and said, "For some reason, there is no one here!" He immediately looked at another cabin. "For some reason, there's no one here!" He repeated this sentence every time he looked at an empty pod.He said at last: "I see! They're in the lobby. There must be some important meeting going on, so they've all gone there." The two friends came down again, and when they arrived at the hall, they saw that the hall was also empty. "There's no one here!" Quan Zhi said loudly. "It seems to be just the two of us in the rocket." "Why are there just the two of us?" Little Bread asked in horror. "That's it, just the two of us." Quan Zhi spread his hands and said. "Then who launched the rocket?" "I have no idea." "A rocket won't launch itself!", "No," Quan Zhi agreed. "So, someone launched it." Little Bread said. "Who is it?" "Then I don't know." He glanced at Little Bread suspiciously, and asked, "Maybe, you launched the rocket?" "Me?" Little Bread asked in surprise. "Yes, it's you!" "How can I launch it?" Little Bread shrugged. "I don't even know how to launch it." "Then why did you get out of the compartment?" asked Quan Wu. "Why weren't you in the cabin when I woke up? Where were you, honestly!" "Ah, you know, I changed my mind at night and didn't want to fly, I wanted to go home, ah, you know, I got lost in the rocket, and then, I couldn't open the door, so I changed my mind again and didn't want to go , I stayed." Little Bread murmured in a panic. "Didn't you push a button somewhere? You know, to launch a rocket, it's all you need to push a button. Understand?" "Really, I didn't press anything anywhere. I just stumbled into a small room and pressed a very small button on a desk there..." "Ah!" Quan Wushu yelled horribly, he grabbed Bun by the collar and dragged him to the button room. "You tell me the truth, this is the little room you're in, isn't it?" "Okay—well—it seems so." Little Bread said slowly and clearly with his mouth open like a fish being dragged out of the water. "You pressed this button, didn't you?" "Well - well - it seems to be so." Little Bread admitted. "That's the way it is!" said Omniscient in a loud voice. "That is to say, you launched the rocket! What do you think we should do now?" "Couldn't it be—think of a way to stop the rocket?" "How do you stop it?" "Press another electric-electric-button." "You have to press the button again! If you press one more, the rocket will stop, and we will have to stay in space and cannot get out! Forget it, let's fly to the moon." "I heard that there is nothing to eat on the moon," Little Bread said. "It's okay, it's good for you, you should lose some weight," Quan Wu replied angrily. "Next time you should know that you can't fiddle with the buttons without authorization!" As soon as Little Bread thinks about eating, his thoughts immediately turn to new aspects.He had a sudden craving for food.He can't think of anything now but to eat.So he said, "I said, I don't know, can't we eat something? I haven't eaten anything since yesterday morning." "Eat something, well...it seems okay to eat something, although you shouldn't eat it." Quan Zhi complained. The friends return to the pantry and open the warming cabinet, which houses piping hot cosmic patties, cosmic custard, cosmic mashed potatoes, and other cosmic dishes.These dishes are called cosmic dishes because they come in cellophane tubes.Like liver pate.Just put one end of such a cellophane tube to your mouth, squeeze it with your hand, and you can squeeze out the food and send it directly to your mouth, which is very convenient in weightlessness.The two friends wiped out several of these tube dishes, and ate the delicious cosmic ice cream.There's only one downside to this cosmic ice cream: the hands are terribly cold because you have to hold the cold cellophane tube in your hand to squeeze it all the time—or else.The ice cream doesn't reach the mouth. As soon as Xiao Bun was full, his mood immediately improved. "Well, it turns out that you can eat well in a rocket!" he said. He began to feel as if nothing terrible had happened, as if the rocket hadn't flown at all, but was still standing on the ground. "I said, I don't know. Why do you think we are flying somewhere? I don't think we are flying anywhere." Little Bread said. "Then where did you say the weightlessness came from?" Quan Mo asked. "You remember, when I was at home, my nose hit the table. That time we didn't fly anywhere, but we were weightless." "Let's go up to the astronomy room now and look out the porthole," Quan Mo said. "You can see where we are from the porthole." The two friends quickly went up to the astronomy room.They looked at the side portholes and saw a black sky like a bottomless abyss all around. The sky was full of big stars, and a brilliant sun radiated dazzling light among the stars.Nothing like this has ever been seen on Earth.When the sun is visible on the earth, the stars cannot be seen, and vice versa, when there are stars, there is no sun.The moon shines brightly outside a porthole in the upper part.It appears larger than what we usually see from Earth. "It's perfectly clear," said Quan Mo. "We are far from the earth. We are in the universe!" "I don't have anything to say this time!" Little Bread murmured disappointedly.
