After breakfast, when he was about to go back to his room, Kyōhei found that Yu Chuan was sitting on the long rattan chair in the lobby, staring at the paintings on the wall.It was a painting of the sea. "Is this painting drawn by someone in this family?" Tang Chuan asked suddenly. "I don't know. Is there something wrong with this painting?" Yu Chuan pointed to the painting. "It is impossible to see such a scenery from the hotel. I guess this should be seen when looking at the sea from another place." Kyohei looked at the painting, and then at the physicist in front of him.He was puzzled.

"Does it matter where you see it?" "It's very important. The tourist attraction of this small town is the beautiful scenery of the sea, and this hotel is also built for people who come here for sightseeing. If there is such a picture hanging in the hotel, tourists will naturally think that the painting on it is The nearby scenery. If the sea is not here, or if it is just an imaginary picture, then this is a fraudulent act." "Huh? Is that an exaggeration?" Tang Chuan stared at the painting for a while, then turned to Gongping and said, "Do you have any plans for today?"

"not decided." "Really?" Tang Chuan raised his hand and looked at his watch, "It's half past eight. Well, in thirty minutes, that's nine o'clock, let's meet here again." "Hey? What are you doing?" "Didn't I say it yesterday? I thought of a plan to allow you to look at the glass. Now the plan is almost mature, so I plan to implement it immediately." Tang Chuan stood up. Gongping was taken aback, looked up at the scholar in front of him and said, "I don't want to take a boat." "I know. It's only a hundred meters. There is no need for a boat." Tang Chuan gestured with a pistol, and glanced at the painting of the sea, "I hope this plan will go well."

About thirty minutes later, Tang Chuan appeared in the lobby wearing a short-sleeved shirt and carrying two large paper bags in his hands.He handed one of the paper bags to Gongping.The paper bag was sealed, and Gongping couldn't see what was inside.Lift it up for a try. Although the paper bag looks quite big, it is actually not too heavy.Kyohei asked Yuchuan what was inside, and Yuchuan just said, "It's not a bento anyway, so don't expect too much." "By the way, have you brought your mobile phone?" Tang Chuan asked before leaving the house. Look.Gongping took out the children's mobile phone from before from the pocket of his shorts.Yu Chuan nodded in satisfaction and took a step forward.

Yu Chuan didn't say where he was going, so Kyohei had no choice but to follow behind him.Although the two passed by the place where the previous passenger fell to his death, Tang Chuan did not stop. The two walked through the port and came all the way to the flood embankment.Tang Chuan walked towards the end of the flood embankment and quickened his pace. "What are you doing at the end of the embankment?" "That's why I brought you here." "What on earth do you want? Tell me." "Don't be so sexual. You'll find out right away. Save your curiosity for later."

It was not until the end of the flood embankment that Tang Chuan stopped. "Open the paper bag and put the contents on the floor." Kyohei did as Yukawa said.Inside the paper bag was a plastic barrel, a roll of nylon rope, and several plastic barrels made of plastic bottles. "Do you know what a 'Plastic Bottle Rocket' is? It can also be called a 'Water Rocket'." "Saw it at a school event before. It spouts water." "Since you've seen it, it's just right. Now we're here to start making that thing." "Huh? Now?"

"Don't worry, I've basically done it. I made it at home last night. But just for the convenience of carrying, I temporarily disassembled it. If you just reassemble it, it's actually very simple." Tang Chuan said while skillfully assembling those parts.As I watched, the plastic tube gradually formed the shape of a rocket.The rocket was much bigger than the ones Gong Ping had seen in school before, even exceeding one meter in length. "Doctor, you made this thing in the house..." "I thought of many ways to let you see the bottom of the sea a hundred meters away, and finally thought about it, and I think this method is the most suitable. It can also let you learn some physics knowledge."

"Launching a rocket will allow me to see the bottom of the sea?! What's the connection between these two things?" Tang Chuan put down his work. "Have you heard of Gagarin? If there were no rockets, humans would not be able to see the true face of the earth. Rockets are very useful things." As he spoke, Yu Chuan stretched out his fingers and adjusted his glasses.
