Chapter 22: Scrap Valley, Zhuang Zhou Box (1)
What Gu Chengzi said was not alarmist, the plan of laziness was direct and convenient - to wash lazy town with blood at all costs, and dig three feet into the ground to find a diligent heart-to-heart bell. At first, they were reluctant to believe that laziness would take such a radical approach, especially Fleur, who thought she knew more about laziness. She felt that although the lazy person has become ruthless nowadays, he has never been an extreme person. Mo Qingyan analyzed that after the lazy temperament changed greatly, they could only grasp one or two of his changes, but they really didn't know what kind of person he had become now. However, just in case, to avoid laziness actually doing this, they still had to start preparing some counterattack work.
For several days in a row, Fu Hui and Mo Qingyan were nowhere to be seen, and Lao Xu said that they had been discussing countermeasures with several other team leaders all day to save the town. Not only were they busy, but everyone else in the base was assigned work, and everyone did their part, trying to drill the best countermeasure in the shortest possible time.
Lao Xu pulled me to his supplies department, which is responsible for the distribution and supply of materials. Although the intelligent machinery here can help us do a lot of things, such as the distribution of materials, the machinery can help us calculate the best distribution ratio. However, every time Lao Xu saw the data on the machine, he would shake his head, saying that no matter how accurate these numbers were, they were just numbers, and he didn't understand the characteristics of each place, nor did he know the habits of users in each place. If the distribution of materials is completely according to it, sooner or later you will find that there is a little more here that is not used, and there is a lack of a little that is not used, and slowly there are complaints everywhere.
Lao Xu never looks at the data of machinery for material allocation, but he can always allocate it reasonably, which is beyond my expectations. In the beginning, the farm needed a lot of new seedlings, so I took out the seedlings according to the mechanical data. But just as I was about to send the seedlings in my hand, Lao Xu came over, grabbed a small bag of seedlings in the seedling box, and put it on the seedling box sent to the farming office, and asked me to send it over. I didn't understand what this little bag of seedlings could do, so I put it back in my pocket and separated it from the seedling box. He smiled and felt that I didn't trust him, so he asked me to follow him to the farm.
When I arrived at the farming office, I handed the seedling box to the person on duty. Then, the two of us spent the whole afternoon at the farm, where the workers and robots finally finished planting all the seedlings. I walked into the field and saw that it was densely packed with seedlings, and there was no place that was empty.
"Look, your little bag of seedlings is useless, and this land is just right. ”
"Hehe, just wait and see. ”
Just when I wanted to laugh at Lao Xu, the person on duty at the agricultural office came over and embarrassedly asked Lao Xu for some more seedlings. Lao Xu reached out and took out the seedlings that had been prepared earlier from my pocket and handed them to him. This move made the people in the farm office dumbfounded. I couldn't figure out how he knew that the people in the farm still needed to plant a little seedling.
"Xiao Qiong, have you taken it?" Lao Xu swaggered along.
"How the hell did you know they needed such a little bit of seedling?"
"Well, look over there. ”
I looked in the direction that Lao Xu was pointing, and saw that there were still some scattered plots of land outside the field, and the people in the farming department planted the small bag of seedlings there. Lao Xu sighed and explained to me.
"Alas, now it is the same as in the past, and the nutrients of these soils are getting lower and lower, and the yield of grain is much less than before. ”
"Where did you get the soil here? When I first came in, I was amazed that there was such fertile soil in the desert. ”
Lao Xu led me to the farmland, squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil, and continued to explain to me.
"The soil is made with sand and binders, which allow the sand to stick together quickly to form new soil. As far as I know, the adhesive was invented diligently, and in the absence of others, the adhesive was naturally used less and less, and now, ah, there is no new soil. ”
"What's going on with those mounds out of the field?"
"Alas, that's what the workers used to grow potted plants. Now life is getting more and more stressful, and I am also facing a war with laziness. In order to ensure enough food, the workers took out the soil from their potted plants, hoping that one more grain of rice would be counted as one. ”
"This ...... How do you know?" I looked at Lao Xu dumbfounded, I didn't expect him to be so indecent on weekdays, but he even noticed these things that were easily overlooked.
"Alas, a few days ago, I heard a few brothers from the farming department in the cafeteria discussing this matter, and I thought of reporting it to the captain, but they had a lot of opportunities, and where could they manage these trivial matters, so they came to send the seedlings today, thinking to see if they really did it. ”
"Oh...... It turns out that you already knew about this, and thought you were really clever. ”
"Hahaha, I wouldn't have told you if I had known, let you worship me from the bottom of your heart!"
"I found out you're really not serious!
"Xiao Qiong, today! I want to tell you," Lao Xu suddenly said to me very seriously, "no matter how good the machinery here is, it will not make mistakes, but after all, it is a cold machine, they don't understand people's necessity, they don't understand people's pain." People come up with all sorts of ideas to survive, and machines will never be able to do that. ”
"Old Xu ......" I looked at him, his face was a little more sad, which I had never seen before, and suddenly I felt a little sad.
"What's wrong? ”
"I've had a doubt in my mind these days. ”
"What doubts? ”
"What do you think...... Can we win?"
I looked at Lao Xu, who looked into the distance, choked up, and then sighed, his lips trembling unconsciously. He turned his head and smiled at me.
"Little Joan, what do you want! Of course we can win. ”
I looked at his smile and instantly forgot his sad face. If you can win, of course, it's good, but if you can't......
Lao Xu and I were on our way back to the supply department when we suddenly heard a heart-rending roar, the sound of which was very familiar. The two of us followed the sound to the room with the glass cage. And in the middle of the glass cage was a chair, and the person sitting on the chair was none other than Gu Chengzi. I saw that Gu Chengzi's whole body was tied very tightly, and the person was already unconsciously drooping his head, as if he had experienced a painful torture. There was a group of robots walking around outside the glass cage, and among the robots there was a person in a white coat, and this person turned out to be Mo Qingyan.
"Mo Qingyan, what are you doing?" Lao Xu saw such a scene, and without saying a word, he rushed towards Mo Qingyan and grabbed his collar.
......
"You!
"That's right! Gu Chengzi has just experienced so many things, why are you torturing him like this!" I don't understand why Mo Qingyan is doing this, just because Gu Chengzi is not worth it.
......
"Hey, Mo Qingyan, you can say something!" Lao Xu roared angrily.
......
"Mo Qingyan!!" Lao Xu grabbed Mo Qingyan's collar and pushed him back.
"You let me go!" Mo Qingyan couldn't bear it anymore and pushed Lao Xu's hand away.
"You guys are actually doing this kind of poison to a person who has just recovered for a long time!" Lao Xu pointed at Gu Chengzi and roared at Mo Qingyan.
"Lao Xu, calm down!" Mo Qingyan said with his head down.
"How do you tell me to calm down!" Lao Xu walked over and lay on the glass, and said to Gu Chengzi, "Chengzi! I'm sorry for you!"
"Mo Qingyan, why are you doing this?" I stood aside and asked Mo Qingyan, but he didn't reply to me, just looked at Lao Xu directly.
"Lao Xu...... You're not sorry for him!" Mo Qingyan said helplessly.
"What?" Lao Xu looked at Mo Qingyan in surprise.
"It's all his own request!" Mo Qingyan closed his eyes and pressed his temples.
"Are you stupid for me?"
Lao Xu looked at Gu Chengzi in the glass cage, very unwilling. Mo Qingyan sighed and explained to us helplessly.
"It's all his own request. We now have so little information and clues that it is basically impossible to quietly return to the town to get back the diligent Fuxinjing. If you're not careful, it's a life-and-death battle between you and me, so ...... We need more information. ”
"And that's what you did to him!" Lao Xu punched the glass cage.
"Lao Xu, you have misunderstood. Gu Chengzi, he is not as fragile as you think. He took the initiative to ask us for help. He knows that we need more information now, so let's help him get his memories back, he doesn't want to be a useless idler. Speaking of which, little girl, it has something to do with you. ”
"What does it have to do with me?" "Why is it that all of a sudden, everything has something to do with me."
"Well, one day he was walking around the base, and he happened to meet you delivering supplies to the armament department, and he saw that you as an outsider could do your best to help us, but what about him? After waking up, everyone let him, let him work less and rest more, he felt that if others didn't say anything about him like this, he also looked down on himself, so he took the initiative to find us and let us help him. ”
“...... "?......Weapons Department, why is it always an Weapons Department?"
"Lao Xu, he knew you would mind, so he didn't tell you. Mo Qingyan walked up to Lao Xu and patted him on the shoulder.
"But can his body stand it like this?" said Lao Xu worriedly.
"His body can still bear it, but his spirit is so fragile that he is close to collapse. We couldn't bear to torture him too much, but every time he stopped, he told us, 'I'm almost there, I almost found it,' and we didn't know what he was looking for. ”
I looked at Gu Chengzi who was unconscious in the cage, and I sympathized and admired in my heart, sympathy was because his spirit had been tortured too much, I originally thought that he would not have to suffer anymore after waking up, but I didn't expect that only a few days later, a new round of torture began. And the admiration is because he actually took the initiative to ask Mo Qingyan for them to treat him in this way - Mo Qingyan explained to us that they were using biological impulses to stimulate his nervous system, so that he could accurately return to the world of consciousness and not get lost like our usual dreams. But every time the biological pulse electricity passed through his body, he would feel the cells in his body being torn apart, which was very painful, so the heart-rending roar we heard just now was made when he was passed through the electricity.
After Lao Xu heard Mo Qingyan finish speaking, he found that he was impulsive, so he hugged his fists and apologized, and Mo Qingyan patted him on the shoulder to show that he understood. Mo Qingyan returned to the console and continued to work, while Lao Xu and I stood outside the glass, looking at Gu Chengzi in the cage without saying a word, I really hope that he can wake up quickly and stop suffering any more torture.
As soon as my idea landed, Gu Chengzi in the glass cage began to twitch, and a red alarm lit up in the room, Mo Qingyan quickly debugged on the console, and the robot next to him clicked in an orderly manner on the control panel. Mo Qingyan's face turned pale instantly, and Lao Xu's hearts and I began to feel uneasy.
"Mo Qingyan, what the hell is going on?" Lao Xu asked anxiously.
"The system shows that his spirit has been violently affected and he is now very unstable. Mo Qingyan replied with a quick click on the control panel.
"What then?" I couldn't help but get nervous.
"Get out of the way. ”
Mo Qingyan instructed us to stay away from the glass cage, we obediently took two steps back, at this time, Mo Qingyan pressed a button, and a white gas was released from the glass cage, which instantly filled the entire cage and covered Gu Chengzi. After a while, the white gas slowly dissipated, and by the time Gu Chengzi appeared in front of our eyes again, he had already woken up, without a painful expression, without the "almost" that Mo Qingyan said before, but staring at the ground intently.
Mo Qingyan turned on the microphone on the console and said to Gu Chengzi.
"Gu Chengzi, are you okay?" Mo Qingyan asked very seriously.
......
"Did you find it?" Mo Qingyan asked weakly.
"No ......" Gu Chengzi still looked at the ground, and he replied while shaking his head, "I didn't find it." ”
"Do you want to go back again?"
"No need...... My memory ......" Gu Chengzi raised his head to look at us, his eyes didn't look angry at all, they were very empty, as if the whole person had been hollowed out.
"What's wrong with your memory?" asked Mo Qingyan.
"We always thought that laziness was blocking my memories of machinery, didn't we?"
"Well, yes. Mo Qingyan began to become confused from his original seriousness and seriousness.
"Hehe, but we were mistaken, he uprooted and pulled out all my memories of machinery from my head. Gu Chengzi looked ahead dementedly.
"What? really?"
"I found a little memory from before it was extracted, it was true, I didn't have to go through any more effort to find it, I had no memory in my head at all. He began to laugh to himself, and his smile was bitter and pitiful.
......
"But our efforts were not in vain, and I found something. ”
"What's that?"
"Zhuang Zhou box!"
When Mo Qingyan and Lao Xu heard the words "Zhuang Zhoubox", they took a step back as if their heads had been hammered suddenly, Lao Xu ran forward, and said to Gu Chengzi very eagerly with his palm against the glass.
"How did you find it?"
"Brother Xu, you're also there!" Gu Chengzi found out about the existence of me and Lao Xu, he paused and continued, "It turns out that there has always been a clue about Zhuang Zhou's box in my head. In dreams, there is always something that leads me to discover it. I didn't realize it, but just now, I've finally solved the puzzle. ”
I really didn't understand what Zhuang Zhoubox was, so I leaned over to Lao Xu and asked quietly.
"Lao Xu, what is Zhuang Zhou's box?"
"Xiao Qiong, Zhuang Zhou box, is a very special box, according to legend is a box that can isolate the heart bell, generally speaking, the heart bell bell can penetrate all things through thousands of miles, but only this box, it can lock the heart bell bell firmly inside. Lao Xu patiently explained to me, but after saying that, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, and continued, "However, for so long, no one has found Zhuang Zhou's box, and I always thought it was just a legend. ”
"Yes, no one has been looking for it before, but he has found it. Gu Chengzi smiled.
"Who?" Mo Qingyan scratched his chin and asked very seriously.
"Diligently, before he left, he put this clue in my head, in my childhood memory, and I never noticed it. Mo Qingyan ......"
"What's wrong?"
"Tell Fleur not to go to town, let's go to another place first. ”
"Where to go?"
"Scrap Valley. ”
Mo Qingyan was stunned, Lao Xu also looked at Gu Chengzi and was silent, I thought to myself, where is the Waste Machinery Valley?
