Until one night, the weather was extremely cold and the north wind was howling. I was sleeping on the bed, and I could hear the sound of the strong north wind shaking the window. At three o'clock in the morning, I was suddenly awakened by the phone ringing. Even reaching out for a phone is not pleasant in that weather. However, I couldn't let the phone ring to keep ringing. I muttered, picked up the phone, and I heard someone say, "Mr. Wei?" When I was picking up the phone, I had already seen the time, and I couldn't help getting angry for no reason, and shouted: "You really know how to pick the time to call, who are you, and you won't be a person tomorrow?"

I was stunned over there, and then said again: "I'm really sorry, because I was so excited, I forgot the time." At this time, I also recognized that it was Wang Zhengcao's voice, and I hurriedly said, "Is it Dr. Wang?" Wang Zhengcao said: "Yes, come quickly, I will show you something, and you will come immediately, I promised you that you will be the first to share the results of my research!" I smiled wryly: "Thank you very much, it's really good time you found it." Wang Zhengcao said: "You must come. When you see the results of my research, you will know that this trip is worthwhile. Come quickly, remember, I only allow you to come alone."

I said angrily: "With the weather like this and the time like this, even if you post a clear post, there may not be anyone coming, okay, I'll come!" I put down the phone, Bai Su also woke up, she turned on the light, I jumped up, put on a big leather robe, and put on a thick scarf, fortunately, I had many weird behaviors, She has long been used to it, so she just glared at me, turned over and went to sleep by herself. When I left the room, I felt the chill from the top of my head to my toes. I clasped my hands and shrank my neck, and came outside the gate. The cold wind was blowing in my face. I couldn't help shivering a few times, cursing Wang Zhengcao in my heart. I am a big fool.

When I came to the garage and took out the car keys, my hands were shaking with cold, so I couldn't insert the car keys into the keyhole. It took me three minutes to get the car keys. The engine, with the heat, brought me back to life. I drove the car straight to the suburbs, and I drove the car very fast, so when I reached the door of Wang Zhengcao's residence and knocked hard on his door, and he opened the door, I couldn't help being stunned: "You came well." quick!" I pushed him: "Come in, it's very windy outside!" He also called: "Come in, come in, I'll show you!"

He dragged me through the living room and down a staircase to the basement. As soon as I entered the basement, I saw that the basement was very large, with many instruments and consoles installed. It was clearly a well-equipped laboratory. Looking at Wang Zhengcao's situation, he is working all night. On such a cold night, he was engaged in research work all night. This kind of spirit is really admirable. I couldn't wait to ask: "What do you want to show me?" He first brought me to a long table: "Look!" I looked at the long table, and saw more than ten sheets of white paper spread out on the table, each sheet was about an inch square, and there was some powder on each sheet of white paper.

The amount of powder was so small that I suspected that if I looked closely, it only took a sneeze to make them disappear, and at this moment, I had an itchy nose and was about to sneeze. So, instead of leaning down, I just straightened up and looked at the powder, the powder, most of which were shimmering bluish-white, yellow, and looked like metallic powder. It was really hard for me to suppress the anger in my heart, and I said loudly, "What the hell is this?" But Wang Zhengcao showed a very proud look: "These are the results of my research!" I asked again: "What are these?"

Wang Zhengcao pointed to the papers one by one: "This is aluminum powder, this is silver, that is gold, and here are zinc, iron, and magnesium. I have checked their composition, and there is no doubt that they are all what I said. Several elements." I couldn't help laughing: "Okay, even if it is, so what, what's so good about it?" Wang Zhengcao opened his eyes wide: "What? Don't you understand the meaning of it? My invention can change the face of the whole world and human civilization will be rewritten!" If it is my stupidity to say that I do not understand what Wang Zhengcao said, well, I admit that I am stupid, and I am not going to talk to Wang Zhengcao anymore. Words, but I was stunned!

Wang Zhengcao said: "Don't you understand, these elements are copied by me, do you understand?" I was dumbfounded, because no one in the world has ever linked the noun "element" with the verb "copy".I hurriedly said, "What do you mean by that?" Wang Zhengcao suddenly pressed my shoulder and shook my body: "Copy, you should understand, copy!" I shook my head to show that I still don't understand, Wang Zhengcao pulled me, walked forward a few steps, and came to a very complicated instrument, which was connected to several electronic devices, and the instrument itself was a concave piece. A metal plate with another flat metal plate on top of it.

Before Wang Zhengcao reached the instrument, he pressed many buttons, and then he said: "Take out something metal." I was stunned for a while, and took off a platinum ring in my hand. He took the platinum ring, put it on the slightly concave circular plate with a diameter of about one foot, covered the flat plate, and then , and a lot of pushes, and finally, he pulls a red lever, and I see a stopwatch, and it starts counting, and twenty seconds later, he pulls the red lever back, and all the flashing lights, Go out together. Then, he said, "Look, don't blink." Seeing that weird instrument and his series of operations, I didn't blink anymore.At this time, he lifted the iron plate and shouted, "Look, what did you see?"

I'm going to roll my eyes wide and to be honest all I care about is my ring because it's a monumental thing and I was first relieved when I saw that the white gold ring was still there, nothing else , I can't see anything. I took the platinum ring, Wang Zhengcao said, "Why don't you find it strange?" I smiled wryly and said, "I'm really surprised, because I saw you operating for a long time, but there was no result!" Wang Zhengcao waved his hands and shouted, "Are you blind? Could it be that you can't see anything? You can't see that there are already many things on it?"

I was really angry and funny: "Maybe I need a magnifying glass to see the extra things you said." Anyone can hear what I said, it is full of irony, but Wang Zhengcao's reaction is beyond my expectation. He nodded, and unexpectedly said: "Maybe, I will give you a magnifying glass." He actually turned around, opened a drawer, took out a magnifying glass, and handed it to me.Under such circumstances, I am really a bit ironic, but I can't help but accept his "good intentions". He handed me the magnifying glass, and blushed with excitement: "Look, look!" I really don't want to use a magnifying glass to observe, but under Wang Zhengcao's urging, I know that if I don't pretend to look at it, I won't be able to pass the test. So, holding my magnifying glass close to my face, I leaned down to examine the dimpled surface where my platinum ring had been.I observed with the intention that I would not find anything, but when I bent down, I saw the slightly concave surface, which seemed very smooth, but under a magnifying glass, I could see the cloth on it. It is full of extremely small holes. It seems to me that this is not the first time I have seen such small holes, but at this moment, for a while, I can't remember where I have seen them before. Small holes like this. At the same time as I saw those small holes, I also saw that beside those small holes, there was a very fine powder. That powder was shining, and it seemed to be metal powder. Wang Zhengcao kept saying: "What did you see, tell me, what did you see?" I said truthfully: "I saw a lot of small holes." Wang Zhengcao asked again: "What is next to the small hole?" I said: "It seems to be metal powder!" Wang Zhengcao cheered, "Get out of the way!" As soon as he stretched out his hand, he pushed me away almost violently. Then, he used a very soft broom to sweep on the slightly concave surface, and then used a piece of white paper to sweep the broom together. A small pinch of metal powder was picked up and handed to me. When the white paper was handed in front of me, I could already see the pinch of metal powder without using a magnifying glass. Even though it gathered together, it would not be bigger than half a grain of rice. I took a breath: "What is that?" Wang Zhengcao said: "It's platinum. No matter how strict you test it, they are platinum, and their composition is exactly the same as the platinum on your ring!" After I heard this, I couldn't help feeling a little angry, and I said, "Dr. Wang, I have already said that my ring is commemorative. What do you mean by filing some powder on my ring?" When Wang Zhengcao heard what I said, he was stunned for a while, and then he laughed "haha". He smiled so happily, as if he had already opened a gold mine, and the happier he smiled, the more annoyed I became. Just when I wanted to question him severely again, Wang Zhengcao stopped laughing and said : "Your ring is not lost at all!" I said angrily: "Then, where did these metal powders come from?" Wang Zhengcao said, "I copied it." I was stunned for a while, and for a while, I didn't understand what he meant by that, Wang Zhengcao said again: "Have you ever used a copier?" My mind was very confused, and I was a little aware of what he wanted to say, but it was unacceptable, and I couldn't say anything except nodding. Wang Zhengcao said again: "You have used a copier before, so you know that no matter how many times you copy a document, there will be no loss?" I said: "But now, some more metal powder has come out." Wang Zhengcao immediately said loudly: "Yes, why don't you understand? I copied it. My instrument is a three-dimensional duplicator, which can duplicate any metal!" I froze and didn't make a sound, my mind was even more confused. "Stereoscopic duplicator" is a strange term that I have never heard before. Wang Zhengcao continued: "The basic composition of any substance is atoms, and atoms are composed of electrons. Different arrangements and combinations of electrons form various substances. If you can change the arrangement and combination of electrons, then, Air can be turned into gold, dirt can be turned into platinum, any substance can be transformed into any other substance, as long as you can change the arrangement of electrons." I listened blankly, Wang Zhengcao's theory is correct, everyone knows it, but who can do this? I asked: "Could it be that you have already solved this problem?" Wang Zhengcao said: "In the beginning, if I solve all the problems, then after my operation just now, what you see will not be some platinum powder, but countless platinum rings, exactly the same as the one in your hand." , a pot full." I lost my voice and said: "In that case, this pot is simply a cornucopia!" When I said that, I didn't think of anything, but I just thought of the cornucopia because of Wang Zhengcao's words.But as soon as my words came out of my mouth, I was suddenly stunned: cornucopia! According to what Wang Zhengcao said, his "three-dimensional duplicator" is simply a cornucopia, and the fragments of the cornucopia are exactly what Wang Zhengcao sought in every possible way. Small holes, and after I got the fragments of the cornucopia, when I observed carefully, I also found that there were many small holes on it, so I had a sense of deja vu just now. After I stayed for a while, my eyes widened and my mouth opened wide, staring at Wang Zhengcao.Wang Zhengcao said: "Yes, you are so smart, my stereoscopic duplicator is a cornucopia, alas, if you give me a few more pieces of the cornucopia, I will be able to successfully manufacture the stereoscopic duplicator soon." .” I stayed there for a long while, and I don't know how many questions came out of my mind at the same time, but these many questions were crowded together, but they were so messy that I didn't even know how to speak, so I kept saying "this", "This", but it turned out that it couldn't make a complete sentence. Wang Zhengcao looked at me: "Do you have any doubts about the results of my preliminary research? If you have any doubts, I can try again and show you, what other metal items do you have?" I hurriedly said: "That's unnecessary, I don't have any doubts, but, you mean to say that Shen Wansan's cornucopia is a three-dimensional duplicator? Isn't this a joke?" Wang Zhengcao said sternly, "Then what's the joke? You haven't read the record about Shen Wansan's cornucopia?" I said: "Of course I know, but is everything true? Is there really such a thing?" Wang Zhengcao said: "Before I saw the fragments of the cornucopia, I naturally regarded those legends as myths, but when I saw the fragments of the cornucopia, my view changed completely." I said, "What did you see in that fragment?" Wang Zhengcao said: "What I saw was a part of an extremely sophisticated instrument. I saw tens of thousands of electronic tubes that were so small that human science could not manufacture them connected in series, and the complexity of the circuits was even more complicated. It’s indescribable, I can tell at a glance that if it is a fragment of the legendary cornucopia, then the cornucopia must be a three-dimensional replicator that can copy metal.” I nodded and said, "Is it the same as yours?" Wang Zhengcao couldn't help laughing wryly when he heard what I said. Wang Zhengcao said: "This one of mine? Compared with it, this one of mine is like a wheel just invented by people in the Stone Age. Compared with modern cars, it is too far behind. I believe that Shen Wansan's A cornucopia is a small hand-held three-dimensional duplicator, even if my production is completely successful, it is not something I can do in my life if I want to create a cornucopia like that." I was stunned for a while, and said: "Then, who made Shen Wansan's cornucopia?" Wang Zhengcao said: "I have asked myself, and I think there is only one possibility, that cornucopia is the outer space or other advanced creatures on other planets, who have been to the earth and stayed on the earth. Other than that, it is impossible With such a precise product, the earth people will not be able to make it in a thousand years." I took a deep breath. In the past, people only regarded Shen Wansan's cornucopia as a myth and legend. No one has ever tried to explain how the cornucopia puts things down from a scientific point of view. one thing?Now, Wang Zhengcao's explanation is obviously the only explanation. The so-called "cornucopia" is actually a three-dimensional replicating machine created by changing the arrangement and combination of matter electrons and changing the principle of matter. Wang Zhengcao said again: "And I can also be sure that the power source of Shen Wansan's cornucopia is solar energy, because I found a group of tiny crystals in the fragments of the cornucopia, which have a strong light-gathering effect and can use endless Solar energy is not like mine, every time it is operated, it consumes enough electricity to buy seventeen or eight taels of platinum." My mind was still in chaos: "It's not right to say what you said. Why did Zhu Yuanzhang take the cornucopia and 'see nothing'? Otherwise, he wouldn't have smashed the cornucopia!" Wang Zhengcao said: "This is the reason why the cornucopia must gather solar energy to carry out a series of operations. I believe Shen Wansan discovered the secret of the cornucopia by accident for the first time after he got the cornucopia for the first time. The record does not say that he regarded the cornucopia as a Hand raccoon'? Maybe it was exposed to the sun. Afterwards, he must have known the secret that the cornucopia must be in the sun to work. He dedicated the cornucopia to the emperor, but kept this secret. The emperor naturally I will not try the cornucopia in the sun, so the cornucopia will become waste!" I blinked, still unable to say anything.
