Give the universe a little earth shock

Chapter 8 Special Metal Balls
"Bet on this, whoever spells it out wins."

Li Kaiyang pointed to Cheng Guangwaliang's parts in the shop owner's hand, full of confidence.

"Spell one hundred at a time."

The boss pushed over a piece of cardboard with red letters on a white background in a normal way, with two lines written on it:
"Prototype challenge, one hundred at a time.

Win five thousand and take it away, lose the photo and keep it. "

The white wall on the left hand side of the entrance is covered with illustrious achievements of the prototype machine, which are left by people who can’t spell it out. The earliest can be traced back to 20 years ago.

Chen Xing'an glanced at them alertly. She already knew about the shopkeeper offering a reward for building a prototype machine, but it was just a gimmick to attract business for puzzle gadgets like Luban locks.

"What if both of us spell it out?"

The shop owner put down the last piece in his hand and looked at her with a smile, "Don't worry, no one can spell it out, not even the two of you, although I know you should be scientists and engineers, see the picture in the middle? , When he came here 15 years ago, he didn't spell it out, and later I heard that he went to Harvard to tinker with some dynamics, and such an awesome person still didn't spell it out."

Chen Xing'an took a closer look, and an entry appeared in his mind, "Professor of the Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences of Harvard University". In terms of grades, he was half inferior to Mr. Wu, but he was better than most of the people in the Institute of Physics.

It's just that the world of practice is never seniority-only.

"No one can spell it out?" Li Kaiyang fiddled with the parts on the glass counter, "Then you are not lying at all, are you?"

The owner nunuzui, "Look at the photo on the top, the complete prototype, it was just like that when the customer sent me here for repair, but he sent it for 20 years, it doesn't matter if you don't come to pick it up, I'm anyway It can't be fixed either."

Li Kaiyang looked at the moldy and curly photo at the top of the photo wall, and could vaguely see what the prototype looked like back then, a big round ball with a diameter of about [-] centimeters.

"Any more questions, friend?"

Li Kaiyang looked at the miniature axis on the table, salivating.

"let's start."

Chen Xing'an replied calmly.

Pulling the side hair behind her ears, Chen Xing'an looked at all the parts, closed her eyes, and quickly constructed the combination of each part in her mind, until 5 minutes later, she opened her eyes and quickly assembled with both hands When he got up, the boss at the counter gradually sat up straight from the position of resting his chin with one hand.

"You can really spell it out!"

The boss is also an experienced craftsman. The combination of the first dozen parts of this female customer is exactly the same as his, and the speed is even faster than his. But this is the experience he has accumulated after 20 years of exploration. The other party only observed a few minutes.

"I'm a bit regretful, maybe the 5000 yuan will really be given away."

The boss was happy, although he said he regretted it, but he saw that the 20-year-old peak was about to be conquered, and he was looking forward to it in his heart. These smooth parts were his youth.

The sound of metal colliding is endless, and every time there is a click, the boss feels relieved, which means that a part has found its place.

"So be it,"

Half an hour later, the sound of assembly stopped abruptly, and the young physicist looked at the ball on the table with dissatisfaction, "Why are there three more parts?"

All the structures fit together tightly, and from the outside, it looks like a whole that has never been dismantled.

However, three palm-sized parts lay quietly on the surface of the glass cabinet.

"Okay, okay, great," the boss looked back and forth at the dark brown ball, like an old friend reunited after a long absence. This was the first time in 20 years that he saw a complete ball appear.

"A girl has to be a professor no matter how high or low she is." He gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely.

In the boss's perception, a professor is basically the highest recognition of academic qualifications, and if you jump up, you will be the group of college students who are on TV all day long.

Chen Xing'an didn't refute. Her mind was full of those three parts and the ingenious structure of this prototype. Although the shape of the prototype was like a mass-produced industrial artwork, the internal structure gave her the feeling of going to a foreign country. illusion.

It doesn't look like an industrial system at all.

"Is it my turn? Boss?"

Li Kaiyang ignored her thoughts and took the three parts into his hands.

"Hey, I said young man," the shopkeeper wanted to regret it a little. In his opinion, the restoration of the prototype function to this appearance is beyond expectations, and he can't wait to find a place to seal it up now. "Or just forget it, what you want I’ll ask you about the miniature shaft, we won’t fight for this prototype.”

"How about that?"

"I'm serious, young man, I don't want to compare today. I'll help you assemble your parts! I've been studying this prototype for 20 years. Don't disassemble it. If it doesn't fit... I can do it tonight." I can't sleep anymore."

The store owner kept the round prototype machine aside and refused to let it move.

"give him."

Chen Xing'an lifted his chin and ordered to the boss.

The boss glanced at her, and after 2 minutes, he reluctantly handed over the prototype, "You have to take your time, don't be brave, or we won't do it if you are not sure, this thing."

Without further ado, Li Kaiyang quickly pulled out a few parts from the assembled prototype, and there was a click sound, and the three parts on the table melted into the prototype like a magic trick. The whole body remained unchanged, and it seemed to have life.

"It really worked out!"

The boss suddenly jumped up from the chair, looked at the prototype in surprise, and rubbed his hands on the smooth shell. He never thought that this young man would complete the machine.

After looking up and down for a while, the boss murmured, "How did you get it in? Teach me, I'll try too!"

When a skill is proficient to the extreme, it is almost like an art in the eyes of others. Chen Xingan stared at him strangely, and the expression of wanting to ask questions has already clearly posed the question, "How can it be done?" ? '

Li Kaiyang didn't bother to show off, "Simple geometry is like cutting chocolate. By cutting chocolate in a special way on a two-dimensional plane, an extra piece can be created out of thin air. It's just that we need to consider a little more on a three-dimensional sphere."

"The extra piece of chocolate didn't just appear out of thin air, it just made the total area a bit smaller, and the structure remained the same," he added.

"Wonderful! It's so wonderful!" the shopkeeper held his glasses and exclaimed, "Young man, this is five thousand, you can take it. Also, tell me what you want in the future. Uncle still has some contacts in this market."

Li Kaiyang thanked the shopkeeper, then looked at the miniature scrolls and comic books on the table.

"It's yours!"

Chen Xing'an gritted his teeth, seeming angry or angry.

two hours later.

Silent night.

The shop owner struggled to pull down the shutter, trying to end the day's business, when suddenly there was the sound of leather boots at the door.

"Sorry, come early tomorrow, I have a rest today."

The boss squinted, unable to see clearly the figure under the moonlight, and said loudly.

The man ignored the boss, walked over to the prototype machine, and took it into his arms.

"Hey! I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me? Put it down for me, you won't be able to pay for it if you break it!"

The boss let go of the curtain in his hand, and walked over suppressing his anger, but saw a pink receipt from 20 years ago.

The faintly visible ballpoint pen inscription on it is his own name.

"This is. This is"

"Hi boss, I'm here to get my stuff."

The guest in white plain short-sleeves was half hidden in the shadows and said in a low voice.
