The weather in early autumn is still very dry and hot, and heavy rain is coming soon.When the four of them came out of Wolong Middle School, a mass of dark clouds had just emerged from the sky, and in a blink of an eye it filled the sky, and everything in front of them became dark and dull.They hurried and rushed to the downhill of Wuhou Temple, when a gust of wind came flying sand and rolling stones.The four of them yelled "No!" and carried their electric scooter up the stone steps of Wuhou Temple, when heavy raindrops were already falling. This is the famous Nanyang Temple of Marquis Wu, the place where Zhuge Liang cultivated.Li Bai wrote in "Southern Metropolis": "Whoever knows the crouching dragon guest will sing and worry about the temples."It is located on a meandering shallow hill, covering a very large area.Inside the temple, there are dense ancient cypresses, rustling bamboos and luxuriant grass.The architectural layout is rigorous and the density is appropriate.There are Xianren Bridge, Great Worship Hall, Thatched Cottage, Ningyuan Tower, Gubai Pavilion, Yeyun Nunnery, Gonggeng Pavilion and other pavilions. There are Zhuge Liang's "Before and After" written by Yue Fei and other literati inscriptions, "Tianlu" and "Evil Exorcism" in the Han Dynasty. " (round carved stone beasts) and other cultural relics, adjacent to the equally famous Nanyang Han Painting Museum.

The children put their bicycles under the eaves of the gate, and the pouring rain has flooded the outside world.The white rain column, the sound of violent rain, the ground was beaten white.The thousand-year-old cypresses in the temple hugged their branches tightly under the strong wind and rain, and an eagle screamed urgently to return to its nest.Bai Yi walked over and said to the gatekeeper: "Auntie, we are sheltering from the rain under the gate, so we don't need to buy a ticket." The aunt hurriedly pulled her in: "No, no, come in quickly." She brought a dry towel from the duty room and dried Bai Yi's hair, "Hey, you guys come and dry your hair too. Yo, girl What a lovely face, the nose is the nose and the eyes are the eyes."

Bai Yi smiled generously under her fondling.She is indeed a beautiful 13-year-old girl, with red lips and white teeth, a straight nose bridge, two dimples when she smiles, fair complexion with rosy complexion, and deep and clear eyes.Wearing a suspender skirt and white tennis shoes, she exposed her white and round shoulders and her calf with clear tendons.She has a very good temper, and there is no one in the world she cannot get along with.The classmates nicknamed her "Little Huang Rong", saying that she was as beautiful and exquisite as Huang Rong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".Huang Rong learned the dumb language from the dumb servants on Peach Blossom Island, and Bai Yi was not weak.Isn't CCTV's broadcast accompanied by dumb words?She thought about it when she had nothing to do, and she just learned it by herself without a teacher.Usually, whenever she meets a dumb person on the street, she will never let her go. She must go and chat for a while, and the chat is lively and witty.

The skinny mantis-like Martin said with a smile: "Auntie, take some time to hurt the rest of us—could it be that our nose is not a nose, and our eyes are not eyes? It's not in the wrong place." The aunt smiled and said: "It hurts, it hurts—the bicycle you carried is some kind of 'superconducting vehicle'." "Yes, electric mopeds, carbon fiber skeleton, the latest product in 2038. Mom knows what superconductivity is." "I know. Don't look at my aunt's lack of education, she is still a person of the 21st century. Superconductivity means that there is no resistance when electric current flows through the wire."

"That's right. Look at these wheels, they are made of room-temperature superconducting materials. Powerful currents are stored and flow in the rims, never lost, and then drawn out from the axles when power is needed. This kind of car is lightweight It saves effort, which is great.” The aunt said, "Hurry up tomorrow and buy one for my grandson", and went back to the duty room.Jiang Feifei dried her hair and took out a few pieces of chocolate from her schoolbag: "Come on, one piece for everyone. Auntie! I'll give you one piece." The aunt sticks her head out and refuses with a smile: "Thank you, I don't like that stuff, it's too sweet." Bai Yi took the chocolate and said worriedly: "Feifei, you don't dare to eat it. If you eat it again, it will become round." Barrel."

Feifei's nickname is "Fatty" (this was the nickname of a Hong Kong hostess 30 years ago).She was indeed chubby, with muscles that seemed to tear her clothes.But she said indifferently: "Why are the barrels afraid? I have made up my mind to join the Fat People's Association. How do I sing that song? 'Ignore the gossip of the world, as long as we live freely.'" Martin chewed the chocolate: "Yes, Fatty is right. It is a blessing to be fat, but I can't do it. I can't eat fat. My mother always said that I have a heartless stomach. Hey, where is the little hero Baibi?" , why don't you talk?" Martin nicknamed "Dr. Barbarian", his mouth can't be idle for a moment, and he is known for his profound knowledge and eccentricity.In Zhu Xiaogang's words, "I know half of the things around me, two-thirds of the things on the earth, and all the things in the universe."Now he was laughing and stabbing Xiaogang: "Are you afraid? Are you afraid of something?"

Xiao Gang is a handsome young man, with two sword eyebrows, a pair of star eyes, and a well-proportioned figure.He was indeed a little worried—worried that he might be reprimanded if he broke into his father's laboratory so rashly.But he said disdainfully, "What am I afraid of?" "I'm afraid that your bragging will be ruined soon. Xiao Gang," he sighed, "you are good everywhere, but you are a little bragging." Both girls laughed, because this sentence actually came from Xiao Gang's self-evaluation.His nickname is "Baibi Xiaoxia", which does not mean that his martial arts are world-class, and his lightness skills are outstanding.In fact, these four characters are the escaped meaning of "white jade with slight flaws".Those who are white are what he claims to be "I have no shortcomings"; those who are slightly flawed are "sometimes I like to brag a little bit".

Xiaogang said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Doctor, don't spread rumors in person, and you can't wantonly tamper with other people's original words. My original words are 'love to boast', not 'love to brag'." Martin smiled and said: "Synonyms, this is a synonym, how can it be regarded as tampering?" "No, there is a difference in principle. Bragging is blowing out something that doesn't exist, and bragging is showing off the real thing to others—so it's just a little bit immodest." "So, you still stick to what you said: the orangutan raised by your parents can speak human language?"

Xiao Gang immediately launched a fierce counterattack: "It's spreading rumors in person again! When did I say that orangutans can speak human language? I just said that after my parents' intelligence development and training, that orangutan can basically understand human speech." Language, and can express their thoughts in sign language. Bai Yi, Fatty, did I say so?" Both girls nodded: "That's right, these are Xiao Gang's original words." The doctor was a little embarrassed, and Xiao Gang took advantage of the victory to pursue: "No way," he shook his head pityingly, imitating the tone of the doctor just now: "If you don't change your dishonest style, you will suffer for the rest of your life."

Martin had no choice but to retreat: "Anyway, the truth will be revealed soon, let's see who has the last laugh. Hey, the rain has stopped, let's go." The torrential rain has stopped, the sky after the rain is palpitatingly blue, and the leaves of the poplar trees are dripping green.The four of them bid farewell to the auntie who was guarding the gate, walked down the long stone steps with the car, walked past the stone arch of "eternal people and dragons", and then rode their bicycles to the south.Today is Friday, which is the legal time for group activities.In the past 30 years, due to the popularity of the Internet, students can sit in front of interactive computers and learn all their homework without going to school.In order to prevent children from becoming internet worms isolated from the world and others, the law stipulates that at least one day of group study time and one day of group activity time are guaranteed every week.However, the latter rule is useless to these four people. Even without it, they have always been inseparable. They would get together almost every day, litigate for a while, read martial arts novels for a while-these four people are hardcore plus A fan of martial arts with steel rods, even his usual speech is full of quack jargon.

During group activities this afternoon, Martin suddenly proposed to see Xiaogang's "human-speaking orangutan" that Xiaogang often "boasts". Naturally, the two girls enthusiastically agreed.Xiao Gang was a little hesitant at first, because his parents always dislike outsiders being disturbed.But he couldn't stand Martin's provocative general and the two girls' soft words, so he agreed immediately: "Go, I will go, at worst, I will be scolded by my father. They love me very much, even if they scold me, it will be thunder and rain. Small." After walking four or five miles to the south, the slope of Wollongong gradually slowed down.Xiao Gang led everyone to turn onto a green grassy path. When the wheels passed by, the green grass parted, revealing the concrete road below.It turned out that there were many round holes on the concrete road leading directly to the soil layer. Green grass grew out of the holes, and the grass tips were just enough to cover the road.When the vehicle passes, the tip of the grass is pressed into the hole; after the vehicle passes, the green grass completely covers the road.The two girls clicked their tongues and praised: "It's so beautiful! What a good idea!" Martin said disdainfully, this is not a new trick, he has checked in the computer database, and Singapore has built such an ecological road decades ago.Xiao Gang looked at him and admitted frankly that the doctor was right this time, and my dad said the same thing. Four people ride side by side.The path is not too wide, barely enough for two trucks to pass by.It stretches forward and disappears into a mass of greenery.The path is very quiet at the moment, with neither vehicles nor pedestrians.Although the four of them played together every day and traveled from house to house, Xiaogang's parents' research institute had never been to them.Martin looked suspiciously as he walked: "This is the world-class research institute you mentioned? Why is it so deserted? It looks like a dairy farm or a flower and tree nursery." Xiaogang couldn't help "boasting" again: "Shallow! Clothes judge people! My parents are famous Taiyi Sanxian in the scientific world. Their research projects are all world-class and funded by the World Consortium. But they People who admire Zhuge Kongming are indifferent by nature, do not seek fame, and have always lived here in seclusion. Outsiders don't know much about them, but people in the circle respect them like gods." Both Bai Yi and Feifei had heard about the reputation of Xiao Gang's father Zhu Yizhi and mother Tong Ming, and they were convinced by Xiao Gang's words.In fact, it's not that Martin doesn't know, he just likes to sing a different tune.Feifei asked: "Xiao Gang, tell me, who is better than your parents?" Xiaogang thought for a while: "There's no comparison. Both of them have similar skills and are first-class heroes. Maybe my dad has a better mind, but he is more careless and ignores the past. My mother is more careful. Visibly Said, my dad is leading the way, and my mother is adjourning." Martin couldn't help but want to attack again: "Xiao Gang, I often hear you talking about them, but they never gave us any idea of ​​what their majors are. Physicists? Chemists? Biologists?" Xiao Gang laughed at him: "It's superficial again, isn't it? If you ask this question, it means that you have fallen behind the times. Now, the convergence of various branches of science is the most powerful trend. Physics, chemistry, biology, and astronomy are all yours. There is me in me, and you in me. They are inseparable. Some people say that this shows that human beings are close to deciphering the ultimate truth of the universe. Think about it, the universe was produced from the big bang, and positive matter was separated from a void and antimatter; positive force (strong force, weak force and electromagnetic force) and negative force (gravity), positive energy and negative energy (gravitational energy), and gradually evolved into today's intricate world. Looking back from this complex world, of course things The rules will become more and more simple..." Martin hurriedly stopped him: "Okay, let's stop here. If you continue, I will give you my doctorate title." The two girls giggled.They had already rode to a pond, which was covered with green lotus leaves. Behind the pond was a courtyard sheltered by greenery. A white domed building was faintly visible among the trees, surrounded by flower walls and iron gates.As Xiaogang said, this is my parents' research institute, and I rarely come here in fact.The four of them approached the door, which opened automatically with a slight babble.After they pushed the cart in, the gate closed automatically again.Martin muttered: "So negligent in security work, is it like a world-class research institute?"The others ignored him. The courtyard is very large, scattered with classical gazebos and small arch bridges, and cypresses, ginkgos, catalpas and incense trees line the roadside.The shadows are quiet, the forest is quiet and the birds are noisy.Ma Tian said with a smile: This is a bit like visiting an expert in the mountains, riding a donkey across a small bridge, and sighing that the plum blossoms are thin.But we are riding an electric donkey, and the roadside is not a plum blossom... In the underground laboratory, Professor Zhu Yizhi's test on the orangutan is in full swing.The old assistant Lin Jun came over and said in a low voice: Four children have arrived at the gate, two boys and two girls, the first one is your son Xiaogang.Professor Zhu glanced sideways at the monitor, and snorted: This kid, did you tell him not to lead his classmates here, and he ignored my words? However, there was no anger in his tone, it was full of joy—the experiment in the past few days went extremely smoothly, even exceeding the most optimistic expectations.Lin Jun said: "I'll go and persuade them to go back." Professor Zhu didn't answer right away, but thought for a while.He is 43 years old, small, with a big head, and he wears baggy overalls, not too sloppy, but definitely not well-dressed either.Assistant Lin Jun is older than him and is 58 years old this year.In fact, Lin Jun was originally his teacher, then his colleague, and then willingly became his assistant.Because he knew that this casually dressed little man and his wife were rare scientific geniuses.He was not mistaken, and this astonishing success in front of him was an example. Professor Zhu said: "Let them in, otherwise, Xiaogang will lose face in front of his classmates. Besides," his eyes flashed jokingly, "how can I bear such an astonishing success if I don't let my son know about it?" It’s okay. Mr. Lin, don’t you think so?” Lin Jun smiled, pressed the button to control the gate, and watched the gate slowly open on the screen.He knew that Zhu Yizhi was still a big kid at heart, a 43-year-old urchin.For example, he and Xiao Gang are not like a father and son, but more like a pair of close buddies.If the two don't see each other for a while, they will have to hold each other for a while when they meet.In order to outwit Xiaogang while playing hide and seek, he can spend a few Sundays painstakingly setting up a laser holographic dummy at home.Lin Jun sometimes wonders why many talented scientists often have a strong childlike interest.For example, a famous scientist in the United States, when he was working at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, his favorite pastime was to use a wire to poke open the safe of his colleagues and put a small gift inside.Maybe, innocence and talent are inseparable twin brothers? It was seen on the monitor that four little guys entered the courtyard with their heads poking around.Professor Zhu smiled, and told his test subjects through the intercom: "Hero Dugu, the four children are here, and they must be here for you. Show them some special skills later, you can't let them down." On a stage 20 meters away, the lights are soft and bright, and the Dugu hero stands proudly on the stage.Hearing the aggressiveness of its master, it gave a low growl in disdain. Dugu Hero is a 12-year-old male chimpanzee with arms reaching to the ground, aggressive and aggressive. The four children have already walked to the center of the courtyard. The domed white building seen outside the courtyard is here. Its shape is roughly similar to a planetarium, but it is larger than a planetarium.Pointing to the apron on the right, Xiaogang said disappointedly: Mom and Dad's orthopter is not here, and they may not be in the research institute today.Oh, by the way, my mother said in the morning that she was going to Beijing to hold an academic meeting, so my father should be at home.let's go in. After entering the igloo house, I realized that it was bigger inside, which can be described as "vast".Above is a transparent thin-shell roof, through which sunlight evenly pours in, illuminating a row of green geraniums, Brazilian wood and other potted plants in the house.The room was as empty as a football field after a game.At this time, the voice of the microphone sounded above their heads: "Welcome Xiaogang and his classmates. Please go down to the underground laboratory." With a slight hum, the floor in front of him slid open, revealing a staircase.Xiao Gang said happily: "It's my father's voice, it seems that today will not be a hit." He led the way down, and the other three followed carefully. The underground laboratory is as bright as above, but it is not artificial lighting, but natural sunlight introduced through optical fibers and condenser mirrors.There were five or six people in the room, and a small man was standing on the console, looking at them with a smile, and beside him was a man with gray hair.The two girls recognized Xiaogang's father and Professor Lin, and hurriedly called out sweetly, "Hello, Uncle Zhu. Hello, Grandpa Lin." Professor Zhu waved his hands and said with a smile, "Hello, children, you are a group of unexpected guests. " The furnishings of the test hall are not complicated, but all the instruments and facilities are so exquisite that even a layman can see its extraordinary at a glance.Ma Tian has been overwhelmed by the momentum here, but he is not convinced by Xiaogang's father: he seems to be shorter than himself, his clothes are very casual, and he speaks the Nanyang dialect. It doesn't look like a "world-class" at first sight scientists.He whispered to Bai Yi next to him: Is this the Taiyi Sanxian, a reclusive expert?I don't see elephants.Bai Yi hastily teased him, and gently reprimanded him: Don't talk nonsense! Then the four of them saw the stage 20 meters away, a big-mouthed orangutan bathed in soft white light, with a proud and lazy expression.The four people's attention was immediately attracted, and they ran to the stage at the same time.They found that the orangutan's gaze was calm, without the dazed and flinching of ordinary animals at all, and even more naked, obviously a master at home.It was wearing a white exercise suit, with a silver gleaming lion belt around its waist.However, it was only seen from a closer distance that a nearly transparent string that was only as thick as a little finger was attached to the belt, and the other end of the rope was tied to a thick ground anchor in the center of the stage.Martin's eyes widened, and he said seriously, "Did you see it?"This orangutan must be an evil martial arts master, he was captured with great difficulty, so he has to be on guard all the time.This rope must be woven with the strongest and toughest silk in the world. Grandpa Lin Jun walked over and explained with a smile: "It's not silkworm silk, but it is indeed the strongest and toughest thing in the world. It is the spider silk of the American golden spider produced by genetic technology, which is 20 times stronger than steel wire of the same thickness. .” Bai Yi looked intently at the orangutan, and asked softly, "Why did you tie it up? Is it really a bad guy? A master of the evil faction?" Grandpa Lin shook his head: "No, its intelligence is only equivalent to that of a five or six-year-old child, and it cannot tell the difference between good and evil. But we dare not be sloppy. Once it escapes, it may cause some trouble." Bai Yi said dissatisfiedly: "Then how pitiful it is, it is too unfair to be imprisoned just because it is ignorant." She saw a bunch of bananas beside her, and gave a bunch to the orangutan.Grandpa Lin hurriedly told her not to enter the circle, and Bai Yi obediently stood outside the circle, trying to reach in as much as possible.The orangutan walked over immediately, but it didn't pick up the bananas, but looked at Bai Yi's face fascinatedly, it was so mesmerized, a wave of laugh lines swayed across the ugly black face.Bai Yi shouted happily: "Grandpa Lin, when it smiles, a chimpanzee can laugh!" Lin Jun frowned.He found that the orangutan's gaze was too greedy, as if he had never seen him like this before.Perhaps it was because Bai Yi was so beautiful that it was inevitable that he would attract the attention of the opposite sex.He didn't want to think about it, so he hurriedly gathered the four of them together and brought them to Professor Zhu's side. "Welcome." Xiaogang's father said again, looking at his son with a smile, "Tell me, is it your idea?" Xiao was a little worried about his father being angry just now, but now he is completely relieved after seeing the situation, but he is a little embarrassed after all.Martin replied with a smile: "Uncle, we often hear Xiao Gang 'boasting' about you, saying that the orangutan you train is very smart, and we all want to see it with our own eyes." This sentence obviously scratched Xiaogang's father's itch.He loves this orangutan no less than his own son, let alone in today's great success.He smiled and asked, "Do you believe that orangutans are intelligent?" Martin said: "Yes—but only low intelligence. Their brain volume is too small. I remember that the brain volume of gorillas is more than 700 milliliters, and that of chimpanzees is less than 500 milliliters. Their brains only account for 0.7 of their body weight. %, but humans account for 2.0%, and even dolphins account for 1.17%.” "Yes, of course we can't expect to make orangutans Einstein. But intelligence depends not only on brain weight, but also on the horizontal connections between brain cells, on the number of sulci in the cerebral cortex, and these depend on a large The extent depends on the external stimuli received in childhood. For example, if a child with a normal brain is thrown into a group of chimpanzees, he can only reach the intelligence of a chimpanzee when he grows up; The patient (at this time the patient's brain size is about the same as that of an orangutan) can still live normally in human society. Chimpanzees are the most intelligent animals in the world, they can use expressions, they can recognize themselves, and they can learn simple gestures under human training It can express dozens of words. At the end of the last century, British female scientist Jenny Goodall went to Africa to observe chimpanzee society for 36 years and made 15 major discoveries. Do you know?" The four of them thought for a while, and Xiao Gang said: "I know, I have read the relevant materials, but I can't remember them all. I remember one of the discoveries: orangutans can use man-made objects. A chimpanzee named David with white beard once used a chimp that Jenny threw away. Banging on empty gasoline cans to scare other chimpanzee males into vying for the throne." Bai Yi said: "There is another discovery: Chimpanzees also know how to respect nature, and they will spontaneously dance when they see a majestic waterfall." "There are wars in the chimpanzee population too," Feifei said. Martin said: "Chimpanzees can invent tools and communicate with other tribes. It's David with the white beard. He invented the use of straw sticks to catch ants, and this trick spread to other tribes all of a sudden." Yes. Chimpanzees also have the ability to plan. For example, in order to relocate the group, a guy named Zhegang deliberately hijacked a chimpanzee baby first, and then carried out his plan indiscriminately. Oh, yes, they can also use herbs to heal themselves sick." The professor smiled and nodded: "Yes, they are all right. But they are far behind ours. This chimpanzee has received intellectual development and enhancement since childhood. We did not increase its brain size, nor did we use genetic technology Turning it into an orangutan with a human brain - that is prohibited by bioethics. But on the basis of its original brain capacity, we have worked hard to dredge and establish horizontal connections between brain cells. It can be said that , its intelligence has surpassed the category of animals." "Uncle, can it really understand human language?" Feifei asked.Bai Yi rushed to ask, "Can you really express your thoughts in dumb language?" "That's right. Of course, as I said, its intelligence is only equivalent to that of a five or six-year-old child, so its understanding and expression are relatively simple." Such limited acknowledgment is already very encouraging. "Really?" the three shouted in unison.Bai Yixi diligently added: "I can also speak dumb, so I'll talk to it right now." The professor looked at Bai Yi: "Are you really able to speak dumb?" He quickly made a few gestures with both hands, and Bai Yi smiled and said, "You're asking me how I learned it, right? I learned it from CCTV. " "Yes." The three friends confirmed, "She is self-taught, and after learning it, she becomes addicted. Don't dare to let her meet a dumb person on the street, otherwise, she will lose her head when she chats." The professor said regretfully: "If I knew you had this ability, I should have hired you as an assistant, and I don't need to learn it myself. However, this orangutan's ability is far more than that." He emphasized emphatically. The four pairs of eyes widened again: "More than that?" "Yes, in some respects it is even far superior to humans." He quickly added, "I mean surpassing humans today." He deliberately stopped and looked at the four little guys.The news is amazing!It was so unexpected, even beyond Xiaogang's expectation!The greediness of the four people was aroused, and they wanted to reach into his mouth anxiously to get the news out.Bai Yi even forgot his desire to chat with the orangutan. They begged: "Dad, Uncle, what great abilities does it have? Tell us, tell us quickly. Can you? If we need to keep it secret, we can swear it. OK? " Seeing this, Lin Jun smiled and walked away.Professor Zhu said: "Okay, I'll tell you now. You are very lucky to be the first batch of customers after our successful experiment. Sit down, this matter cannot be explained clearly in a few sentences." The four children hurriedly pulled up chairs and sat around him, staring at him with dark eyes. The little professor arranged the work at hand and began to talk.He was silent for a moment, then asked abruptly: "You all like to read martial arts novels, right. I know Xiao Gang is a huge fan of martial arts." "That's right," Martin said with a grin. "The three of us and Xiaogang are of the same breed, we share the same taste. You can eat without meat, live without bamboo, and martial arts books are indispensable." "Whose work do you like to see?" The four chattered together: "Jin Yong's, Gu Long's, I like them all. The recent Jin Yong No. 3 and Gu Long No. 2 are also good." The Jin Yong No. 3 and Gu Long No. 2 they refer to are computerized writing systems, and their works have indeed reached the level of Jin and Gu.The professor nodded and asked again: "Do you like CD-ROM books, 3-D books, or old-fashioned printed books?" Except for Jiang Feifei, they all said that they like to read old-style printed books. "Only this kind of book can stimulate readers' imagination to the greatest extent. If a concrete little dragon girl, Guo Jing, old naughty boy, and little Li Feidao are forged in front of us, no matter how realistic and elegant he is, he will not be able to match the one in our hearts. 'That one' compared." The little professor laughed, as if he had met a close friend: "Yes, I am insightful, better than many literary critics. To be honest, I am also a fan of martial arts. I have been a fan of martial arts for 40 years, and I am younger than your age." It’s twice as big.” He asked a strange question, “Say, if all the masters in the novel competed on the same stage, who would have the highest martial arts?” Martin rushed to answer: "It must be the old naughty boy Zhou Botong! He knows the scriptures of the Nine Yins, the No. 72 Kongming boxing, and fights with both hands..." The heroes in Xiaogang's mind are different: "It's Xiao Li Feidao! The sword is not light, and the shot is sure to hit. Although he is ranked third on the hero list, but the second-ranked Shangguan Jinhuan - he just killed the No. Old Man Wuji—also died by his knife.” Girls have other idols.Bai Yi said that she admired Xiaolongnv the most. Her net is so powerful that she can cover ninety-nine or eighty-one sparrows in her arms and cannot fly out.Xiaogang retorted that although her fast and light kung fu is excellent, it cannot compare to Guo Jing's steady kung fu.Besides, Guo Daxia has noble moral character, "for the country and the people is the greatest chivalrous man".Martin said that no matter how high the martial arts skills of these heroes are, they have all failed. Only Dugu seeking defeat is the real pinnacle of martial arts. Any eagle can be the master of Yang Guo's hero. As soon as the four of them argued about this matter, Bai Yi suddenly thought, "Uncle, why are you asking these questions? What does it have to do with this orangutan?" The professor was overjoyed, giggled for a while, and said pretending to be serious: "Let me tell you, this orangutan in front of me is the descendant of Dugu Hero, Dugu Xiaoxia, and we named it Dugu Xingxing——it is the descendant of the star. Xing is not an orangutan. However, its martial arts are not calm and steady, but specialized and nimble like Xiaolongnu. Xiaolongnu, Chu Liuxiang, Black Spider... can't compare to it." The four of them were excited.They have always been obsessed with martial arts novels, and often meet different masters in their dreams.But they all know that this is just fantasy, and they never expect to see it in the real world.Xiaogang's father's words activated their dreams, and they really wanted to see the real kung fu of this Dugu Xiaoxia immediately!Of course, there was no lack of suspicion in their eyes.The professor smiled happily when he saw the complex expressions of the children. After a moment of silence, Bai Yi pursed his lips and smiled: "Uncle, you are so humorous. I know you are teasing us." Martin interjected: "Of course, I already knew. Uncle, you are so funny, no wonder Xiao Gang said you are an old naughty boy." Bai Yi hurriedly teased him, and looked at his uncle worriedly.But the little uncle was not angry at all.He said sternly: "How can I be teasing you, what I said is all true." Martin shook his head vigorously: "How can it be? How can it be? Dugu Qiubai was born in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty. He has been dead for at least 500 years. How old is this orangutan?" "12 years old." "That's right, that's right, he can't even see the grandson of the hero Dugu, how can he be the heir of the hero." "You don't believe me?" The professor's eyes flickered, trying to hide the smile on his lips, "If you don't believe me, let's test it on the spot." "Test on the spot?" A few people stare at me, and I stare at you.Of course they don't believe that there is really a superb martial arts in the world - otherwise they would have traveled all over the mountains to find famous teachers!But what Uncle Zhu said so solemnly, could it be true?They couldn't believe it, and they didn't want to refuse, and there was a strong expectation beating vigorously in their hearts.The professor repeated: "Experiment on the spot. In fact, before you come, we are experimenting. Hero Dugu," he said into the intercom, "Please be prepared, these little guests are coming to test your martial arts .” He led the four of them to the console.The four children were dazed, not knowing whether they were in a martial arts novel or in the real world.But at least the orangutan understood the order here. It growled lowly, glanced disdainfully at the little guest here, and then walked lazily to the middle of the table. Professor Zhu called his assistant to bring four archery bows. He said, these four bows are relatively soft, and you can draw them. Now each of you takes one and shoots at the orangutan to see if it can escape.The four of them felt that it was a novelty, so they put the arrow on the string according to the words, looked at the sharp arrow, and turned around and asked worriedly: "Daddy, Uncle, can it really escape? Don't shoot it." The little professor said into the intercom: "Hero Dugu, tell the guests if you are sure." The orangutan hummed and patted its chest with its long arms—now there was no need to doubt it, it must have understood its master's orders.The two boys have impatiently drawn the bowstring to the full, and shouted loudly: "Hero Dugu, it's time to shoot! Be careful!" Two feathered arrows swished past.The orangutan hardly moved his body, turned his wrist, and already held two feather arrows in his hand.The video just now was shown on the screen above the console.The picture first moves in fast forward, and then changes to slow motion when the feathered arrow flies in front of the orangutan.Now, the flying arrow moved forward extremely slowly millimeter by millimeter, and the orangutan raised its arm, clamping the shaft of the arrow calmly.Even in slow playback, it still moves lightning fast, so it's more than enough to deal with these two flying arrows.The children yelled happily, and then they stopped hesitating and shot one after another.The orangutan's arm moved slightly, and in an instant, feather arrows were thrown all over the ground at its feet.There was only one left in the hands of the four, and Xiao Gang thought of an idea: "Let's call out a password and shoot at it together to see if it can avoid it." "Okay!" Martin and Feifei put the arrow on the string.Bai Yi hurriedly asked: "Uncle, can it dodge the four arrows? Hero Dugu, can you dodge it?" The orangutan patted his chest impatiently, the meaning was obvious: Don't you underestimate people?Come on, no problem.So Xiaogang yelled the password: "Get ready—let it go!" Four arrows shot past at the same time, and suddenly they screamed, because they saw that one arrow shot right into the orangutan's mouth!The four children who caused trouble were stunned, and the tears of the girls had begun to overflow. "Dugu Xingxing! You..." Suddenly the orangutan forcefully spat out the arrow in his mouth, and opened his lips, revealing two rows of white teeth.The children suddenly cheered: "Toothed arrowhead method! It's amazing!" Martin added: "However, the toothed arrowhead method is not the ultimate martial art, and many masters can do it." In the slow-motion playback, they saw the flying arrows being shot into the orangutan's mouth slowly, much slower than people delivering food to the mouth with chopsticks.The orangutan calmly "clicked" and bit the arrow. It seemed very easy, and it seemed that even they could do it.Xiaogang's father smiled and said: "Of course the tooth-and-arrowhead technique is not a peerless martial art, but the good show is yet to come. Come, change your weapon." The staff put away the bows and arrows, issued a pistol to each of them, and loaded the bullets.It was an old-fashioned May Fourth pistol, but even an old-fashioned ordinary pistol is a terrible weapon—whoever heard of Guo Jing, Yang Guo, Chu Liuxiang, Linghu Chong, or any of the martial arts masters could handle bullets?The children were worried that the orangutan would be injured, so they stared at each other and dared not do anything.Xiaogang's father couldn't help laughing: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, if I'm not sure, dare you do anything? This orangutan is as valuable as my son. Come on, just shoot boldly." Under his repeated urging, the children raised their guns, their palms were sweaty.Xiao Gang thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Well, I'll shoot first, at its legs. Just in case... it won't kill it." "Okay, you shoot first." Several people muttered in low voices.Over there, the orangutan didn't know the slightest fear, and even got impatient with waiting, dancing a short, thin iron rod in his hand, which was his weapon against bullets.Xiao Gang gritted his teeth and mobilized enough courage to pull the trigger with his eyes closed.Immediately after the gunshot, there was a clang, and the shiny bullets fell on the stage.猩猩的动作太快，大家几乎没有看见它是如何动作，于是四双眼睛立即转向头顶的录像。从录像上看，枪弹的速度虽然已被大大放慢，但比起刚才的飞箭来说还是快多了。它朝前飞行着，弹体与空气的磨擦产生高热，使弹头变成暗红色，并在身后留下一道淡淡的青烟。猩猩没有象上次那样用手去夹，当子弹快到身旁时，它用那根银白色的铁棍快速一击，正好击在弹体的中部，枪弹便坠落在地上。 孩子们看得眼睛都直了：“神了，真神了！”他们不再胆怯，噼噼啪啪地射击着。只听当当当响成一片，亮晶晶的子弹四处飞迸。子弹射完，猩猩又恢复了懒散傲然的神态，渊停岳峙地立在台子中央。 “神了！”“这才叫绝世武功呢！”孩子们赞不绝口。教授截住他们的话头：“先别激动，它的本领还没施展完呢。看，”他手中拎着一只模样奇特的手枪，“这是便携式激光枪，再用它试试。” 四个人惊异地问：“激光？它的反应速度能超过激光？” “当然不能。宇宙中——我是指我们这个宇宙中——没有快过光速的东西。不过……看后再说吧。” 他把激光枪递给儿子。儿子犹犹豫豫地举起来，瞄准猩猩。猩猩显然知道这家伙的厉害，懒散和不屑之态一扫而光。它双腿微屈，双目精光外露，死死地盯着小刚的手指。小刚尽力控制住手指的颤抖，大声喊： “独孤大侠，你准备好了吗？我要开火啦！” 他按下板机，一道眩目的红光破空而去，在所经之处留下一道白痕。那边黑影一晃，猩猩已敏捷地跳过一边，干净利索地躲过激光束。激光落在它身后的木制墙板上，烧出一个花生米大小的圆洞。几个孩子立即把目光转向头顶的录像。这次，即使经过大倍数的放慢，激光在画面上仍是一闪即过，看不出有任何放慢的迹象。小刚爸笑着解释： “你们都知道光速是每秒30万公里，这儿离猩猩只有30米，也就是说，光束到达那儿只需1000万分之一秒的时间。所以，即使在高速摄影中，它仍然快得象闪电。不过，你们看出来猩猩是怎样躲避激光了吗？” 孩子们困惑地摇摇头。教授操纵着电脑，把录像的画面聚焦在小刚的手指上。屏幕上，那只手指正极慢极慢地向下按。“明白了吗？激光的速度几乎是不可放慢的，但小刚手指的动作可以放慢。也就是说，猩猩虽然躲不开激光，但它仍足以对小刚的动作做出反应——看到手指开始动作时就跳开。”他把激光枪收回去，“好了，试验到此为止。这把枪对它还是有一定危险的，我刚才做试验时就烧焦了它下肢的一块皮毛。所以，你们三个就不要再试了。” 但四个孩子已经完全满意了。他们跳下控制台，跑到舞台前边，敬畏地注目着这位武功盖世的黑猩猩。独孤大侠显然知道自己在孩子心目中的份量，就象时下那些被追星族宠坏了的明星那样，它也摆出一副标准的明星嘴脸——既显得不耐烦，不情愿，又不能过于挫伤崇拜者的积极性，所以屈尊而就，接受了孩子们的瞻仰。 纵然对大侠的绝世武功已经五体投地，菲菲仍忍不住小声嘟囔道：“呀，这位大侠真的太丑了，塌鼻孔，大嘴巴，小眼睛，满脸黑毛……” “嘘，”白易忙止住她，怕独孤星星听懂这些话，心中难过。她小声对菲菲说，“可不能拿咱们的眼光来评价。在猩猩们看来，塌鼻孔，大嘴巴，这才是天下第一等的美貌哩。小星星一定是黑猩猩中最漂亮的男孩子，你说对吗，独孤大侠？”她安慰道。 独孤星星至少是部分听懂了她的话，露出欣悦喜爱的表情。它尽着腰链的长度走到台边，弯下腰，向白易伸出毛茸茸的手。马田笑道：“哟，它也学会了明星们的作派，要和观众握手交流呢。白易，大侠这样青睐你，可别错过机会哟。” 白易真的很高兴，很感动，也努力把手伸过去。不过一黑一白两个指尖还差有20厘米。小刚和马田过去，把白易娇小的身体举起来。这么一来就够上了，独孤星星立即把白易的小手握在自己的长手掌中，傻兮兮地笑着。 白易伸手时，控制台上的朱教授和林教授想出面阻止，但两人对望一眼，笑笑，都心照不宣地保持沉默。他们创造了一个超级生物，虽然智能较低，但身体之剽捷灵动远远超过人类。所以，他们在喜爱之余，也一起警惕地看守着它。按说不该让孩子们离它这么近的，但这会儿气氛融洽，猩猩显然十分喜欢白易，想来不会出事。 猩猩握着白易的手久久不放，目光清明，充满愉悦，就象是小弟弟见到了久违的姐姐。所以，白易也一直微笑着，没把双手从猩猩手中抽出来。倒是她身下的两位骑士等不及了： “喂，松手吧，我们都没劲啦。” 白易轻轻往外抽手，猩猩感觉到了，再度抓紧。小刚和马田真的没力气了，气喘吁吁，“松手没有？松手没有？”菲菲不知道帮忙，只会在一旁格格地笑。最后，星星松手了，两个男孩忙把她放到地上。白易这才有机会向星星比划了一番哑语： “你好，我们都很佩服你的武功，真的佩服。再见。” 猩猩听懂了，但它并没有以哑语回答。忽然，它把长长的黑手指放到凸起的大嘴巴上，向台下送了一个飞吻。孩子们愣住了，然后同时爆发出一阵大笑，姜菲菲甚至笑得坐到地上：“妈呀，它也会向观众送飞吻！香港明星的作派！” 星星受到笑声的鼓励，把飞吻送得密不透风。这边的几个人，包括朱教授和林教授，都笑得前仰后合。
