Chapter 7 stone

When she was discharged from the hospital, Luo Ying thought that she would not return to the hospital in a short time.But when she accidentally read a piece of Rainey's past in the archives, a piece of Rainey's past about himself that he didn't tell her, she decided to ask her face to face. Two days after she was discharged from the hospital, she opened the door of the hospital again.She cares about this past, not just because it's why Rainey became a doctor, but because it's about Grandpa.In fact, it is the core of their entire relationship. Because of this incident, Rainey turned to study neuromedicine, and it was possible to treat himself. It is also because of this incident that Rainey met Grandpa and gained his friendship and trust. , have special qualifications to enter and exit the archives.Because of their relationship, Grandpa entrusted her to Rui Ni, and Rui Ni gave her the letter of authorization. There are various reasons behind this, and now there is finally a point of integration.

The pivotal event linking Rainey to her family turned out to be a mistake.Luo Ying thought it was worth considering.Whose fault was it? She couldn't tell. It seemed that there were no villains with ulterior motives, but Reni suffered a great loss in her entire life. Luo Ying read Rui Ni's file.When he was young, he took courses in many systematic laboratories, from the mechanical center to the classical philosophy research room, and finally chose bionic engineering when he was 18 years old, and entered the manufacturing laboratory of the bionic engineering center at the age of 20. Animals, machinery, structures and walking are studied there.

Just in his third year in the laboratory, a mine car had an accident.A bionic quarry truck spontaneously ignited and exploded during a test run.Although there were no casualties, the damage was substantial.The investigation team searched in the dark wreckage, slowly narrowed down the scope, and finally attributed the cause of the accident to a leakage of a sensing device.This is an event that is difficult to characterize. The wreckage is charred, the components are melted, and they are connected into a sticky piece. There is nowhere to start any inspection, and accurate measurement is even impossible.Therefore, whether it is a component design error, a processing error, or an assembly error has no way to study.

Just like what is inevitable after every major accident, a liability accident investigation will be held amidst uncertainty.After three days of detailed inquiries of dozens of people in the entire system from morning to night, and after another three days of discussions between the special investigation team of the House of Representatives and the Governor, the final result came out, and Reni was punished alone. "How can they be sure that it was your mistake?" Luo Ying asked Rui Ni. "They can't." "Then why did they punish you?" "Because something goes wrong there is always someone or someone to be punished."

Rui Ni put down the carving knife and spoke very calmly without any disturbance.More than ten years have passed since the incident, and he did not expect that someone would dig it out and inquire in detail.He looked at Luo Ying, her face showed a concerned expression that really felt sorry for him, she frowned slightly, and she was seriously confused, which moved Rui Ni very much.Many people have asked him about this over the years, some are pitiful, some are polite, but there are still very few people who can really think about his plight. "Whoever is responsible for the fault is punished. How can one be appointed at random?" She continued to ask.

"The problem is that, under the circumstances at the time, it was very difficult to pinpoint the exact source of the error." "I saw your self-defense report, don't you have good reason to think that the design is okay?" "yes." "Then why was it withdrawn later?" Rainey was silent for a moment.He recalled the scene back then, and the scenes were still vivid in his mind. "Let me do the math for you like this. The situation at the time was that no matter what, you should be punished, but the question is how many people should be punished. If it is a design problem, only me will be punished, but if it is due to improper processing and management, you will be punished." A bunch of people."

He is the designer of the accident element, the sensor he designed that is the joint on the leg of the quarry truck.On the day of the accountability meeting, the persons in charge of the two major systems involved in the quarrying truck sat down solemnly, the members of the council chaired the meeting, and the inspection system specialists sat in a row on one side.The recording of the processing process was played on the wall, and a simulated prototype crawled quietly in the center of the venue, and the participants surrounded it, like a hunter surrounding a captured beast.Rainey sat in the back row and listened to the investigator's presentation of the investigation report.Various analyzes and instructions hovered around him, and his childhood habits began to play out again, hearing words from words, and building words from words in his heart.

Mars accountability is the most important thing.After every experimental failure and accident, serious accountability and accident recurrence have reached a harsh level.Rennie once thought about the deep meaning of this matter, which not only comes from the necessary rigor of engineering projects, but also from the necessary requirements for the operation of the system.The system operation of Mars is both a government action and an enterprise action, and the survival of all people depends on its stability.What matters is quality assurance.In a monopoly production team led by the system, there is no market for customers, no competition from other companies, and if there is no strict accountability system, it is easy to cover up negligence and mistakes, and the quality cannot be improved. ensure.Mars has very few resources. In order to save resources and operate efficiently, the competition between studios is only at the planning stage. Once a project is approved, only one plan will be turned into production, and the team at this time will be fully responsible.This kind of system equates to an industry-wide reality with a double meaning.On the one hand, the system and each studio in the system will try to protect its members like any group. On the other hand, the system, as the carte blanche of citizens in a certain field, is responsible for making fair decisions for citizens like the law .This gives the person in charge of the system a dual identity, both external and internal; both leader and manager; both protection and punishment.This duality persists even with a system of scrutiny.

responsibility.The key word here is responsibility.If you are only responsible to the team, then you only need to optimize the future production to the greatest extent, but if you are responsible to the entire outside world and all the people, you must act fairly and act according to the facts regardless of the consequences.Under the circumstances at that time, if the management omissions were investigated and the impreciseness of each link from top to bottom was punished, it would inevitably lead to loss of personnel and stagnation of production, which would be detrimental to the project itself, especially at that time when the project leader was the most authoritative in the field Invaluable expert.

responsibility.Internal and external responsibilities.Rainey weighed the delicate word inwardly.An inspector woke him up and asked him some questions, but he was still thinking about it, and he didn't hear the whole thing, only the last sentence. "...Do you feel you are responsible?" "Responsibility? What kind of responsibility?" he asked almost instinctively. Is it the responsibility for the facts, or the responsibility for the production? The inspector said some more words, but he still only heard the last sentence. "...your leadership has a responsibility to deal with you properly."

"What kind of responsibility is that?" he asked. Is it the responsibility to maintain a strict system, or the responsibility to maintain system stability. When the sentences are connected at the beginning and the end of the sentences, forming a tower base that is interlocking, he doesn't know where to insert the steel beams.Double meanings divide responsibilities.Horizontal or vertical insertion brings completely different results.He is like a child holding building blocks hesitantly, walking around in his mind, looking at various possible appearances. His reaction was ignored.Discussions and resolutions continued, and figures and tables appeared on the wall in turn.Examiners, engineers, and councilors looked stern, sometimes debating, sometimes bowing their heads in whispers.Rainey looked at them, feeling very far away.The hair and beard turned into shadows swaying back and forth, and he vaguely knew in his heart that the final decision was about to surface. Two days later, Governor Hans personally visited Reni's hut.Before Hans could speak, Renee understood.Hans holds the battle medal of his youth and puts it on Rainey's gray shirt with his own hands.He said he was sending apologies and thanks on his own behalf.The badge reads "Defend the Homeland."Not defending the truth. Rainey was punished.The final cause of the accident was determined to be a design omission, which was the option that punished the least number of people.At the critical moment of ore mining at that time, the project required a large number of manpower, and the person in charge was responsible for key technologies that only he could be responsible for.Rainey believed his design was fine, but he didn't argue.Whether there is a problem with the design is not the most important issue at that time, the most important issue is responsibility.As the wreckage burns the threads into a tangled mess, the Senate needs to choose which direction the process will follow.They chose the responsibility of maintaining the stability of the system.Precious personnel are preserved, and the next production can continue quickly.Processing will always be in the direction that is most beneficial to production, and Renee understands this truth. Hans sat opposite Rainey, lowered his head and sighed.Rui Ni looked at Hans and suddenly felt sympathetic to him.He could see that this result was not what Hans wanted, but he still came to his hut and took off the honor he had won with his body. Rainey was dismissed from his post and could no longer work in the engineering front-line laboratory.Hans let him choose where to go, and Rainey knew it was his apology.Rainey had a friend in his youth who was a neurologist at the First Hospital of Saliro District, so he chose to go there, turning from engineering sensing to medical sensing.He could see clearly, and he didn't feel resentment in his heart.On the complex iron frame with interlaced steel beams, resentment also has nowhere to insert.He only occasionally felt desolate, like sitting alone in an empty playground full of equipment when he was a child.It's not unusual to be empty, nor is it strange to be emptiness. It's only when a person's emptiness meets the system's aura that he feels this desolation in his heart. In truth, Rainey didn't care too much about where he worked.He happened to be tired of being on the front line of the project at that time, and it would not be a bad thing for him to change a place and exchange a little time for reading and writing.He stayed in the hospital smoothly, and Hans came to see him occasionally, and they gradually became unknown friends who forgot their age.He said he wanted to write history, and Hans gave him a personal mandate. "Then don't you feel unwilling?" Luo Ying asked softly. "The so-called resentment," Rui Ni said with a smile, "is that a person has not done what he wants or is suitable for. A piece of iron will not be reconciled if it cannot participate in the manufacture of steel and iron frames, but if it is a piece of sand and stone, then Nothing to be unhappy about." As he spoke, he picked up a small piece of khaki-colored gravel on his desk, and weighed it in his palm. "Not everyone wants to be a skeleton," he said. "I still like sculpture." Luo Ying took the hard, rough and irregularly shaped small stone from Reni's hand, held it in her hand and looked at it quietly.She sat down, lay her hands on his desk, rested her head on them, looked at the stone in her hand for a while, and looked at Rui Ni for a while.She seemed to want to say something, but after thinking about it, she didn't say it.Behind the two of them, a sand-sculpted lion looked at them. ※※※ An hour later, Luo Ying gently pushed open the door of the rehearsal field. It was a large abandoned warehouse, with tall black iron frames, gray unrestricted ground, an empty hall, and a simple stage set up with waste frames in the corner.The sun shone thinly in the open space, and there was no one in the center of the tens of meters square, and no one noticed the utensils piled up by the wall, and the lights focused all on the small stage at the end of the line of sight, where someone was speaking to each other. Someone is running in a hurry under the stage, and the curtain background hangs down on the rectangular frame, and the comic-style exaggerated palace and throne are drawn on the curtain.The two characters are singing together in the center of the stage, their voices are high and low, fast and slow, flying up in the air, surrounded by the noise of the surrounding theater management, and echoing back and forth on the dome. Luo Ying walked slowly towards the stage, her long shadow dragging on the gray ground like a long skirt dragging alone. "Luo Ying!" Ren saw her first and greeted her with a smile.He hurried towards the props area, winking at her calmly.He was wearing a black tuxedo, but he was holding a huge cardboard box in his hand. There were beads of sweat on his forehead. The dress made him look slender and dignified, but there were all kinds of sundries and tools piled up in the box, as if an elegant earl was enjoying Coolie's happiness. "Just here?" Mira waved at Luo Ying and smiled at the corner of the stage, "You're late!" Mira was sitting near the front edge of the stage, with a brown rag spread out like a stall in front of her, on which were several pieces of broken glass in different colors.He's obviously an actor, but there's no role for him at this time.He watched the performance with his chin resting, with a leisurely demeanor and a nonchalant smile on his face, paying attention to everything around him, and turning his head to chat with the theater manager beside him from time to time. "Coming?" Suo Lin said to Luo Ying, running quickly, "Let's get familiar with the environment first." He kissed her twice on the cheek, patted her shoulders with a smile, asked about her recovery condition, and then quickly pointed to the singing team on the stage as the background, telling her her location.He is the director, with a thin and capable face, and a hat tied down his hair. After talking with Luo Ying, he strode towards Kingsley, who was controlling the lights. Luo Ying looked up to the stage. Behind the main character, the singing team stood in two arcs that echoed each other on both sides. They were separated from each other by black and white robes, like two walls of angels beyond reality.Anka was wearing a white robe and was standing in the center of the chorus on the left, holding lyrics in his hands. When she looked at him, he was also looking at her, looking at her through the crowd, and nodded slightly.His tall stature stands out and his eyes are clear and bright deep in the stage. She walked up quietly, this is her first rehearsal. In front of the stairs on the left side of the stage, Anita is waiting with a big bedroll in her arms.She smiled at Luo Ying, although she couldn't spare her hands to say hello, she gestured to Luo Ying's right foot with her eyes. "Are your feet okay?" she asked softly. "Okay." Luo Ying nodded. Anita's hair is combed high today, she looks very energetic, with exaggerated and colorful makeup on her face, she can tell at a glance that she is playing the role of a rich wife, a rich lady with a powerful and aggressive demeanor. "It's a mess." Anita grinned to the stage. "how?" "Everyone is just playing around." "Isn't there a script?" "Yes. But I don't know which version it is." "What are you playing?" "A lawyer. My old line." Anita's major is law, Luo Ying nodded.She pointed to the bedroll in her hand and asked, "Then what is this?" "Corpse." Anita laughed. Luo Ying was taken aback and wanted to ask again, but Anita stretched out a finger to indicate that it was time for her to play, and then she kicked and climbed up the small ladder with her bedroll in her arms, her back swaying but determined. Luo Ying followed Anita and also climbed onto the stage.She slipped quietly along the stage to the chorus in the back row, stood beside Anka, leaned over to read the libretto in his hand, and Anka handed the songbook to her eyes.She looked over and found that, as he said the day before yesterday, the libretto couldn't be simpler. There was only one sentence in the whole text: "Oh, this is really wonderful!" This sentence was repeated line by line on the white paper, just marked Figure out the tone, intonation, and lines of others so you know when and how to sing.She looked at Anka, who raised his eyebrows and smiled, as if to say, "That's the way it is." Together, their eyes turned to the center of the stage, where Anita, who had just entered the stage, was beginning her monologue.It seems to be a widow, telling her grief after the death of her husband, the bedroll has been unrolled and spread out on the ground, a stiff humanoid doll, with thick eyebrows and beard painted in black paint.The widow played by Anita had a sad face at first, worrying about her livelihood, but she suddenly said a few words to a person next to her, and suddenly she became happy, clapped her hands, and walked around the stage excitedly. "Oh, this is wonderful!" Anka sang with the white chorus. Then a group of businessmen in suits and ties swarmed up, waving documents in their hands and making a lot of noise. Anita dealt with them calmly, making an elegant gesture with a cigarette in her mouth, gesticulating her head but speaking aggressively.Two peons kept moving the doll up and down, and Anita kept raising it and waving its hands at the merchants. This time, Luo Ying found the way, and sang along with the people around her precisely at the place marked on the libretto: "Oh, this is wonderful!" She slowly plunged into the stage, forgetting the world around her, as if the stage had become a real reality.This is the first time she reads the script, and she can't help laughing in many places. Sometimes she doesn't need to read the libretto, and she naturally wants to say "Oh, this is really wonderful".Opposite them, the black song team has been singing "It's great, it's great", and sighed on different occasions from them, forming a distant care and a neighboring contrast. The plot is slowly developing, sliding from absurdity to reality at an unknown speed.Luo Ying kept laughing at first, but she couldn't laugh at all at the end.She gradually became aware of the bitterness in it, which was faintly compelling, and even had a thrilling feeling at the end of the performance.Her voice was a little hoarse, and from the stage, for the first time, she saw a possible reality looming large. When the rehearsal came to an end, Luo Ying couldn't wait to sit by the stage, and eagerly asked the others: "What happened to the last part?" Chenia stood beside her and replied calmly, "This is what Longe discovered that I didn't have time to tell you that day." "What the hell did he find?" "Longge saw a record of his mother's work. His mother is one of the diplomatic archivists, and has been responsible for recording the details of various negotiation transactions. Longge found that three years ago, the negotiations for the purchase of acetylene and methane on Mars had stalled. After several months, the talks have been delayed. The people on Earth have always suspected that there is fraud in it, and they are afraid that the Martians will use tricks to detonate it after they get the goods, so as to cause a surprise attack. After all, it is a flammable thing, and they dare not take it lightly. Negotiation From January to June, there was a stalemate, and then dramatic things happened: on July 12th we went to North America for vacation, on July 18th they signed an agreement, on August 1st Mars began to return, and on August 10th We were released and returned to our respective schools. Of course we didn’t know about these things, but if this time sequence is a coincidence, don’t you think it’s too incredible?” "So Longue came to the conclusion that we were hostages?" Chania nodded. Luo Ying murmured: "...and then deduced that we have been hostages of the deal for the past five years, and studying abroad is just a cover." Chenia gently held her hand: "I'm afraid you won't like to hear this, but it's really suspicious. If it's true, then your grandpa has other meanings in changing you in, and it's likely to be different from yours." The death of mom and dad has nothing to do with it, but just to show that the Governor's granddaughter is also there, to reassure the rest of us parents that we don't see the danger in it." "Danger..." Luo Ying felt empty, "If there is danger, let me bear it with you." "And then ratify us as heroes." "this is too scary." "We also hope that this is not true." Sorin interjected, "That's why we changed the previous script and added the current ending to test the reactions of the adults. If it is not true, they will only be a little bit It's inexplicable, and if it's true, they're probably going to be pissed off." "It's not about your grandfather." Mira added in a timely manner, "It's about asking the entire decision-making group. It's likely that this is not what your grandfather meant, but someone else's idea." Luo Ying nodded silently, feeling a little flustered.Hearing suspicions and accusations against grandpa again pushed her worries to a peak for many days.She didn't want to be seen, and she didn't want to find an excuse to escape.She wanted to look for Anka, but he happened to be away at the moment. She turned her head and turned the topic to other topics: "What about the other parts?" "It's all adapted from our experiences, you should be able to see it too, right?" "I can see the part about Anita. It refers to the 'copyright of the dead' she mentioned at the time, right?" "Yes." Anita smiled, "I was just having fun at the time, but who knows, in the past two days I heard that someone in a state in the United States has officially proposed legislation, and the content is basically the same as what I mentioned at the time. Knowing that I should have registered a copyright for this idea in the first place, and now I have become a little rich woman, I will set a precedent for them as an 'alien copyright'." "That's a good idea!" Thorin said. "Then why don't you include this paragraph?" "Come on," Anita said, "You, the director, don't bother, how many things have been added in the past two days!" Luo Ying was a little happier, and then asked: "Does the latter part refer to Longe's episode?" "That's right." Anita nodded, "That's why we called this show 'Revolution'. It was a well-deserved revolution at that time, and it would be a pity not to do it." "That wasn't a real revolution, was it? Wasn't it just a group of young people who got together passionately? They didn't do anything." "Isn't that what revolution is all about?" Anita smiled playfully, "Otherwise what do you think revolution is?" Luo Ying also smiled softly, and the tense emotions just now finally relaxed slowly. "When is the show?" "The day of the final. There is still more than a month." "Okay. I can participate in the next rehearsal." "Don't take it too seriously." Sorin looked relaxed, with a bright smile on his thin cheeks. "We just play. This is the most different place from other people. Come whenever you want, don't take it as a burden." Luo Ying agreed.The casual and comfortable atmosphere of her partners gradually gave her a sense of belonging.They are smiling all the time.Laughing even in doubt.This made her feel at ease, and the tension in her heart sank to the bottom of the lake in her heart.She knew what they didn't show on their faces, and why they didn't.The ridicule and disapproval of the surroundings obscured the anxiety of inner questioning. They questioned the surroundings, but they did not use an angry way.All this made Luo Ying relax, and started to work with them, shuttled on the high platform of the abandoned iron frame, weaved lies with silk scarves, sat on the ground and smiled at the sadness.She looked up at the sky, the afternoon sun cast a transparent rainbow on the gray and black warehouse, the dust was floating, cool as ice. At the end of the rehearsal, Anka stopped Luo Ying.He disappeared unnoticed in the middle of the rehearsal, and did not appear for a while. Luo Ying was wondering inwardly, when he suddenly appeared from the door and quietly joined the chorus.He didn't explain anything, and sang as usual, until the rehearsal was completely over, he called Luo Ying aside behind everyone. "Didn't you put Pierre in touch with me yesterday?" he said. "I sent him a letter later." "Well. How did you say it?" "Not bad. I went to the laboratory with him at noon today." "What to do?" "I went to see his membrane technology. I think I can use it." "Where is it used?" "Airplane modification. Didn't I tell you yesterday that my plane can't fly now? I think it might be of great help if his photoelectric film can be coated on the wings of the plane for energy power. But it's not sure yet. Experiments are needed. " "Did Pierre promise you?" "Agreed. He has no problem with that, but the problem now is to find a way to experiment, and I don't want Fitz to know. He definitely doesn't want to see me start anew." "Then what to do?" "Can you," Anka looked into Luo Ying's eyes, "help me apply for another team in the creative competition? Our squadron does not allow participation. Teams participating in the creative contest have the right to apply for the use of various laboratories and processing plants, or It's a deception. I just don't know if it's too late." "Theoretically speaking, teams can be formed before the preliminary round, but... tomorrow is the preliminary round." "I know, it's a little too difficult." "It's okay," Luo Ying said softly but firmly, "I will definitely try." "Hmm." Anka nodded, "That's up to you." Luo Ying smiled and said it was nothing.Of course she was willing to help him.In this world, what she wants most is to be able to help him.She likes to see him looking for something, and his focus is the steadfastness in her heart. "Then how are you going to experiment?" "Assemble, then fly." "Is it reliable? Will it be dangerous? Don't be too desperate." "It's okay." Anka smiled a little, "It's all about other things, and only do things that are desperate." Anka's voice echoed in the empty hall.Everyone was returning home one after another with their things in their hands, and they were the last two to walk out of the warehouse.When going out, Luo Ying gently closed the heavy door of the warehouse, and there was a muffled sound as the iron collided with the iron, which seemed to ring in her heart. ※※※ The next morning, the preliminary round of the Russell District Creative Competition was held in the community children's classroom. The children's classroom is the favorite place for children in the community. The preliminary competition is held here, and those who participate or not are all rejoicing.On this day, teenagers flocked into the classroom early in the morning, like a rushing tide, quickly filling up the small space.Although each community is small, there are hundreds of teenagers who meet the age requirements. They spread out in twos and threes, and soon filled the entire venue. The classroom colors of this day are very bright.The arena is not extravagant, no platform is built, and no amusement equipment is removed.It's just that the tables and chairs have been painted, mythical illustrations are everywhere, the flags are colorfully hung, and the contestants' advertisements are scrolled on the wall.The children's classroom was originally a comprehensive education place, with all kinds of facilities, from musical instrument easels to photoelectric demonstration experiments. The tables, chairs and table tops are natural exhibition stands for competitions. There is no need for special exhibition arrangements, only the usual stationery needs to be packed away.The teenagers started setting up the exhibition early in the morning, and all kinds of small objects were placed on the brackets, like recruits who rarely saw the world, arrogantly waiting for inspection alone in a daze. Luo Ying was caught in the crowd, and a familiar feeling came to her heart.She left Mars very early, did not take many free elective courses, and never entered the studio. Many childhood memories are left in the children's classroom.Looking up, many fragments still seem to be floating in the air.There are fragments of her chorus singing shepherd boy songs on the wall, light traces of her finger rubbing on the bookshelf, soft paint she accidentally dripped on the table, and the color of her skirt in the air.She saw herself, her pure self, where she spent most of her time from the age of five to the age of thirteen, and those memories revived little by little in her sight, like dehydrated vegetables being refilled in the infiltration. Several gentle and beautiful teachers are slowly parading in the venue, they are the judging group for the preliminary round.A large group of teenagers surrounded them and turned around, like the layers of skirts dragging behind aristocratic women.The opinions of the review team will account for a considerable proportion of the results, so each team has prepared in advance, using various fresh ways, trying to leave a perfect impression on the teachers in the brief introduction of the work. "...Lomanias, a costume master in the late 21st century, once borrowed the idea of ​​modern dance to define the relationship between an adult's body and space through clothes, and our design is trying to continue this idea..." Jill spoke vividly, waving her hands in front of her.She wrote the speech for a whole week, and she was still stumbling and reciting it the night before. "... People's concept of clothes is usually just warmth and decoration, and their attitude towards space and nature is isolation and alienation. But we all know that the spiritual goal of people is to break the habitual thinking pattern and constantly innovate in concepts. We This armor is made for this purpose. It can convert sunlight into electricity, which is not only suitable for space suits and mining suits, but also brings a new concept-our bodies can not only hide from nature, And can really embrace nature and make use of nature..." Jill's smile is sweet, and her voice is fluent and natural, full of ups and downs. It can be seen that she has worked all night.She looked at Luo Ying from time to time, and Luo Ying nodded to her in the crowd.Next to her, Daniel is wearing a light blue funny armor, with his chest up and his head up, changing his shape constantly, making the movements of ancient Greek sculptures. Luo Ying looked at Jier, thinking of the old house she lived in for a year on earth and the pagan tenants.She and Jill have been together for a long time, and found that "innovation" is one of Jill's mantras, and it sounds like there are new thoughts, new ideas, and new enthusiasms every day, and this is the same as the tenants of the old houses on the earth. And together, at that time they were also used to saying the word innovation, saying innovation every day.They are constantly pursuing new ways of enjoying themselves, behave avant-garde, wear strange clothes and drink strange medicines, disdain the metropolis, and always talk about creating a new and different life.Luo Ying joins their weird party and joins them in seizing the manor of the rich.They put flowers and plants in their clothes, and dismantled the escalators of the city buildings and set them up in the windows as slides.Jill talked about innovation, and the old tenants talked about innovation, but neither of them had ever imagined the other's life. There is a big brother kangaroo in the old house, who is the person she has known the longest on earth.He was a kindly, bald, middle-aged man who never wore the strange clothes of the tenants or attended their street meetings.He works in museums and plays sculptures, supposedly recruited by artists to challenge conventional notions of sculpture.Sometimes, when he was off work, he would secretly move out the animal heads from the museum and put them on the square to frighten those who were born in the city and had never seen wild animals before moving them back the next morning.He also secretly paved a section of cement at the entrance of a high-rise building, printed with staggered leather shoe prints and animal footprints.Luo Ying didn't know how he evaded detection every time, only knew that he was laughing and laughing every day, and lived very leisurely. Luo Ying followed the others while recalling.Jier had finished speaking, so she ran over and grabbed Luo Ying's arm, and calmed her throbbing chest with the other hand, beads of sweat glistened slightly on her forehead, and her big eyes showed searching gazes.Luo Ying smiled and nodded, pinching her chubby little hands. In front of them, the judging teachers were crowded with colorful exhibits, fresh and interesting small objects emerged one after another, applause and exclamation came one after another, and more and more children surrounded the teachers. Luo Ying noticed that Puranda and two other girls had made a beautiful double-sided painting. The canvas was translucent, with a pensive girl on the front and a boy walking with his head bowed on the back. You could only see it from either side One person, but the stars and the moon are visible on both sides, both shining, shining on both sides of the picture, I don't know what material it is. The group finally passed all the booths, stood back in the center of the hall, and counted all the works just recorded. Teacher Janet held the record book and looked around the audience with a clear and gentle voice. "Are there any works that have been missed that have not been displayed?" Everyone looked at each other quietly. "There are now one hundred and twelve groups. If there are no missing ones, today's preliminary round will be here." Teacher Janet asked again, and behind her, there was already a teacher ready to put away the record book. Luo Ying decided to speak, feeling a little uneasy.She decided to take the risk, it was her only chance. "and also." When Luo Ying heard her own voice, she looked very gentle and peaceful in the venue that had finally quieted down after a noisy morning.She took a step forward, restraining her pounding heart, deliberately looking away from all the other competing kids, just looking at Janet.She slowly walked to the largest table in the center of the exhibition hall, stretched out her hand, and very lightly and carefully moved the surrounding exhibits on the table, leaving a small empty area in the middle, revealing a dark blue smooth velvet tablecloth , and then took out the small stones from Reni the day before from his pocket, and placed them in the small space on the table.The khaki-colored gravel, round in shape and rough in surface, looks dull and is hidden by other exhibits.She set it up and looked at Janet. "This is..." Janet looked at her a little confused. Luo Ying smiled, pointed to the little stone and said, "This is my work. The name is 'Lonely'." The teachers looked at each other for a while, and the surrounding children also looked at each other silently.Among the colorful and complex buildings and robots, the primitive roughness of the stone is like an inappropriate word that cannot be integrated with the surrounding environment. It looks out of place on the table, as if a vacuum circle is automatically drawn around the surrounded suspect.Luo Ying looked at everyone calmly, this kind of silence was exactly what she expected and waited for. After being silent for almost a minute, Teacher Janet said slowly, "This...is a very good idea." She turned her chubby body, turned to face the other children, and tried to say in the most natural tone: "Luo Ying did a good job. Her work is a reminder that our competition does not have to use high technology. Everyone can Expand your thinking a bit more." Luo Ying breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Janet was kind, she smiled gratefully at her. The game is finally all over.Everyone started tidying up, and the venue started to be noisy again. Laughter and funny voices flew up a little bit with the joy of the end of the game. The colorful flags were taken down from the wall, and they were shaken off with the same free and easy spirit as when they were just hung up.Busy and crowded occupied the whole room, and the lonely stone disappeared from people's sight again, as if it had never appeared and never attracted attention. When leaving, Ji'er embraced Luo Ying and said quietly: "You didn't even tell me! How did you come up with it?" "What did you come up with? A stone? I didn't think much of it." "Very creative!" "yes?" Luo Ying smiled, and only thought of four words in her heart: out of place.她捏着那块石头想到瑞尼，想到她和她的所有伙伴们，心里很有一些难受。她其实想过什么都不带来，然后指着空气说这就是作品叫“梦想”，但是想了想，觉得那样更加悲观，最终还是放弃了。她并不觉得自己有创意。如果说她曾经跟袋鼠大哥学到什么，那就是不认为自己有创意。她有心情，但她不觉得那是创意。 在那天上午，她看到过一件她觉得当真有创意的作品。那是一只大大的、薄薄的空心玻璃球，里面套着小一号的另一只玻璃球，再往里面，还有一层一层又一层相互嵌套的透明球面，直到细致得分辨不出。每一层球面上都有形状不同的绿地，有房屋，有滑梯，还有工厂。最外面一层的内表面上，像在天空中倒挂着同样的迷你世界，能看到细微的小人做着各种动作，头朝下脚朝上。整个大球悬挂在半空，世界一重重，绿色的大地一层一层透过晶亮的玻璃，十分引人注目。洛盈不知道他们是怎么做到的。她只是定睛看着它，看着一重一重宛如穿入无限的球面，看着尺度迥异却构造相似的世界，看着天穹般笼罩着却倒悬的最外层空间，觉得自己也似乎被倒置了，抛进无垠的宇宙深处。
