In the noisy voice, this voice reached the prime minister who had already gotten up and was about to leave. The prime minister stopped and asked in a loud voice, "Who is talking?"

"The new students of the National Academy are unknown. The little beetle replied in a loud voice.

The prime minister sat back down, searching the crowd for the person who spoke. After looking for a long time, I found out that it was a small beetle.

"What's the matter? The prime minister said.

"Why did you have to choose to launch at 6 o'clock in the morning?"

"Why only consider the launch distance and not the launch direction?"

"Why didn't one of the previous 8 launches succeed?"

The little beetle asked three times in a loud voice. When everyone heard this, they hurriedly returned to their seats. Those who have already gone away also come back and sit down again.

Everyone stared at the little beetle in unison.

The prime minister hurriedly lowered his head and asked the attendant next to him, what time were the first eight launches?

The attendants replied that the moment the sun appeared, it was probably around 6 o'clock in the morning.

The prime minister was thoughtful and asked in a loud voice, "What do you think?" ”

"Since the first eight launches were all launched at about the same time, due to the influence of our own rotation on Terracotta, the first eight launches were launched in roughly the same direction. That is, we have previously fired 8 times in the same direction, but not a single one of them was successful. So we can't launch in the same direction anymore. The little beetle said in one breath.

After hearing this, everyone began to talk about each other.

After hearing this, the prime minister didn't speak, his heart was shocked, his face changed slightly, and he said, "Then what time do you say it should be launched?"

"This is everyone's business, and we need to discuss it together. The little beetle said loudly.

The crowd began to discuss:

"I think it's good to launch at six o'clock, everyone is the most labor-saving, the meteorite gathers more energy, and the flight distance is far, as for the direction of flight, we don't know which direction to launch!"

"If you don't think it's good for the sun to come out at 6 o'clock, put it until 9 o'clock when the sun disappears!"

"I think it's better to put it until 12 o'clock in the evening, that is, at 0:00 in the morning, and the new day officially begins. ”

The prime minister let everyone talk about it, but he didn't make a sound or stop it. The ears are listening carefully, and the heart is constantly thinking, change the direction? Maybe there will be new life, but what time will it be launched?

After everyone talked about it for a long time, they said what time it was, from zero to one o'clock...... Until twelve o'clock. There are even people who calculate the launch time in half-tenths of a unit.

After arguing for a long time, everyone was also unanimous and could not determine the final launch time.

If you continue to discuss it like this, it's not a matter of paying attention to it all the time. When the prime minister was in a dilemma, he suddenly saw an old turtle standing up tremblingly, and said slowly: "According to the old minister's opinion, it is not a way to argue like this, so it is better to ask a soothsayer to divinate the launch time for us." ”

"Ask the soothsayer, that's a good idea!"

Everyone began to discuss enthusiastically again, and finally reached a consensus that this method could be tried.

But the question is, where is the soothsayer?

The soul country has suffered a series of accidents in recent years, and the national fortunes have declined. It has been a long time since there have been large-scale national festivals and celebrations. The soothsayer has died out in the Soul Country, and many people have not seen it for so many years, and they have never heard of it in the Soul Country.

The little hope that had just been ignited was shattered in the hearts of everyone.

Seeing this, the old turtle spoke again, "I know that there used to be an old soothsayer, who was originally in the back mountain, and after so many years, the mountain hardly sees the sun all year round, I don't know if he is still alive?"

When the prime minister heard this, he was overjoyed. The busy old turtle took everyone to the back mountain to find the soothsayer.

So everyone followed behind the trembling old turtle and walked towards the back mountain. A few young turtles couldn't see the old turtle trembling, so they simply put the old turtle up, so that the walking speed was much faster.

After a while, everyone came to the back mountain. The old turtle asked everyone to put themselves in front of an old dead tree, and said, "I remember that the old mage stayed on this old tree. ”

When everyone looked at this old tree, their hearts couldn't help but feel cold. This is an old tree that has been dead for a long time, and only a thick trunk remains, and you can vaguely imagine what it once looked like when it was once prosperous.

But now the thick trunk was empty, and there were a few lonely branches on it, and the branches were completely dead.

The old turtle walked up to the dead tree and circled the trunk three times in a row, with a lost expression on his face.

"I remember it was this tree, and there was a little river next to it. The old turtle said as if talking to himself.

"There's a river here? It's all rocks. "Someone spoke.

"The creek may have dried up and weathered into stones. Someone next to him explained.

Everyone was lonely again.

"Does anyone know of any other soothsayer?" asked the prime minister.

For a long time, no one squeaked.

Seeing this, the prime minister had no choice but to take everyone back the same way.

But no one left, and the little beetle was squatting on the ground, carefully examining the little river that the old turtle had said.

I saw that the ground was already full of black stones, and it was obvious that it had been dry for a long time.

The little beetle leaned down and pressed one ear to the ground, listening carefully. Then I changed a few different locations and listened carefully.

Finally, at one point, he listened to it several times in a row, and suddenly shouted, "There is the sound of running water!"

The people who had already gone far heard the news, and some people ran back to find out.

"Listen, there's the sound of running water down there!" said the little beetle.

"What does the sound of running water mean?"

"The sound of running water means that there is still life!"

"What can you do with life? What does it have to do with a soothsayer?"

"Everyone sees that this old dead tree is very close to this river, and if there is flowing water, it means that the old dead tree may still have rhizomes alive!"

"Well, it's possible!"

"But that's also a no-brainer!"

When the prime minister heard the news, he had already led the big guy back again. He heard what the little beetle said.

"But no one knows if there are living rhizomes in this ground!"

"What if you barely have a living rhizome? How many years has this tree withered, it's useless. ”

"Maybe there really is a living rhizome, in which case the old mage may really be alive. ”

The prime minister listened to everyone's discussions, and he hesitated and didn't know how to make an idea.

Seeing that everyone was hesitating, the little beetle jumped out first, came to the old dead tree, and said, "Come, let's all work together and use our physical strength to wake up the old mage!"

No one responded. Originally, now everyone can't eat enough every day, and the residual physical energy can maintain their lives and exercise normally, so the excess physical energy is spent on such an unreliable thing.

Besides, tomorrow's meteorite launch will require you to sacrifice all your physical energy, which is a major event for the entire soul clan. It's a waste of energy for an old mage who doesn't know whether to live or die, unless his brain is broken.
