But the 17 director came back with the thought: "Oh my God, we don't know how you were born, and when we noticed you, it was already the time when you started smelting some minerals, how were you born?" And how do you breed? Why haven't I seen a second one like you, and suddenly there are so many others of the same kind? ”

Qingxue replied: "Bring them over first, I'll tell you!" ”

17 The supervisor beckoned the soldiers to say something, and they quickly brought several other frogmen over, all of whom were packed in that transparent box and pushed to Qingxue. The box seemed to have a very small coefficient of friction, and it was not at all seen that the diminutive soldiers were struggling to push a box that was taller than themselves and significantly heavier than their own weight.

"Let them out!" Qingxue said.

"No! It's time for you to answer the questions! 17 The supervisor replied.

Qingxue was also helpless, although she said that she was taking him hostage, she really didn't dare to hurt him, so she had to pass on her thoughts and say: "You have too many problems, come one by one." ”

"How did you know you could smelt metal?" 17 Director asked after a moment's consideration.

Qingxue is not prepared to tell the truth, if strength and force cannot be their own bargaining chips, then information! They have information they want to know, and this is the bargaining chip that Qingxue has to play with them!

Qingxue replied indiscriminately: "I ran to the crater and saw it!" And then after a lot of groping! ”

"Awesome! Awesome! Enough curiosity and action, this is the origin of civilization. I have long said that the development of intelligence is not just the evolution of brain tissue. Others are needed! There are many creatures that are close to your intelligence level, but they haven't done everything you've done! They don't even have 1/100 of yours. Even if the brain is sufficiently developed, it still relies on instinct rather than intelligence. 17 The Director was overwhelmed with emotion, and then rambled on and on.

"Oooh, it sounds like I'm great! Can you put them out now? Qingxue urged.

"One more question!" 17 Director said.

Qingxue reluctantly agreed.

17 The director asked, "How did you breed?" ”

Qingxue replied, "To be honest, I don't know, but I'm the same kind as them. They are my children. ”

Director 17 exclaimed, "Is there some type of asexual reproduction? And involuntary consciousness? We've noticed that they're coming around the time you're 40-50 years old, we didn't pay enough attention before, there was a big lack of that, and now it's almost another 4-50 years, so is your recent camp expansion for the new generation? A generation every 4-50 years? It's a long cycle, and no other creature seems to have anything like this. ”

Qingxue said impatiently: "Yes, who knows! It's time to let them out. ”

Director 17 continued, "One more question! One more question, let them go! ”

"Hurry up!" Qingxue is really dying!

"You have several camps, and many of the facilities in them are really amazing to us, how did you know to do that? And they're all just right to work with each other. 17 Director asked.

Qing Xuexin said that the matter of Snow Beans must not be said, if they knew that they and their friends were not native creatures of this planet, but from the earth civilization, they were afraid that they would not be so interested in the research object.

So Qingxue asked rhetorically, "Is it difficult?" I guess it's almost going to be built! ”

You must know that no matter which camp Qingxue is, there is a certain degree of automation, even if it is the earliest camp that is powered by water around peas.

17 Director also thought a little and said, "This is an interesting question, it is possible to make some estimates, but it seems to be a little too much. After all, the automatic control of hydraulics is easy to understand, such as the difference in height, the difference in density between clear and turbid water, and then the difference in weight, these may be estimated. But what about the electricity part? The part of electricity that our civilization began to use long after entering the civilization stage! ”

Qingxue roughly guessed that Director 17 had doubts about whether Qingxue was a native species of the planet! Indeed, all kinds of things that Qingxue did, if they were all spontaneous and coincidental, required tens of thousands of years of accumulation and precipitation, and the emergence of geniuses such as Newton, Maxwell, Tesla, Einstein, etc., to make scientific progress.

"The water is rising and falling here, and when I saw the wood floating, I thought I could use this power to save effort! And a lot of things I found were around the crater, a lot of good stones, so I thought if I could make a crater too! And then a lot of things needed to be stronger, and I replaced some of the original parts with things from the crater I had built, and a few times I was electrocuted, and I almost died! But I think this power can also be used! Qingxue recalls that they found their furnace and began to notice themselves after a series of their own manufacturing, including tidal power plants, electrically driven fine metallurgical processing after wrapping, and so on.

In fact, Qingxue's nonsense is not completely made up, in fact, his own understanding is like this. Although it was carried out step by step according to Snow Bean's instructions, he himself speculated that the earliest humans were about to move forward step by step.

And the 17 supervisor listened to Qingxue's explanation, and at the same time called up a lot of graphic materials, Qingxue noticed that it was all taken from high altitudes, just from a bird's-eye perspective! However, some of them could clearly see where the smoke was coming out and where the hot molten iron was coming out.

"And electricity, I think since it comes from water, then it may be something like some kind of water flow, so I also started with experiments, but my experiments are all in my room, and you can't shoot them. Then I found out that this power is not only in the flow of water, but also in the things that are made out of small volcanoes, the things that flow in high temperatures, copper, iron, tin, etc., which also have this power, even stronger than in the water! Qingxue looked at his picture and thought of a new statement.

Director 17 kept nodding.

Qingxue said: "Now let them go." Otherwise, I won't say a word! ”

"Ah, a lot of confusion has finally been solved! That's the way it looks, but I can't let them go. At least not all of them! 17 The Director replied.

"What do you mean you can't put it all in?" Qingxue said angrily.

17 The director said, "That's literally! We need 1 to dissect and 1 more to make a backup. So you can choose 2 of them for me. ”

"No way! I'll bring them out! They must be brought back, and all of them! All! Qingxue said even more angrily.
