"Hot air balloons have been made a long time ago. They can also fly into the sky, but it's impossible to cross the Pacific Ocean. The materials are too poor, and the fuel isn't good enough."
Speaking of hot air balloons, Wang Ke sighed regretfully and said in a low voice, "But this is still my dad's last hope. As long as he has this little bit of hope, he can persevere. If this little bit of hope is gone, then he … So I've always been making hot air balloons, because I don't want him to despair."
Gao Qi asked curiously, "Your mother … How is she?"
"She's gone. She's been gone for more than ten years."
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay. I was still young at that time, so I don't have much of an impression of my mother. But after my mother passed away, my dad was too traumatized, and then his brain …"
Wang Ke smiled apologetically at Gao Qi and continued, "My dad's concept of time is confused. He knows how old he is this year, and he knows how old I am, but when he talks about my grandparents, he always thinks that time has stopped. When he talks about my mother …"
Wang Ke paused for a moment, then said seriously, "It's best not to mention my mother to him. Most of the time, he thinks that my mother is still alive. If he realizes that my mother has passed away, he will go crazy."
Gao Qi sighed and said sympathetically, "No wonder he said that to you."
Wang Ke was silent for a moment, then he said with a slightly embarrassed expression, "He was like this before he went crazy, and he was like this to everyone."
After a moment of awkward silence, Wang Ke suddenly said, "Can you tell me where you came from? Did you come from that side? "
"Yes, we came here on a spaceship."
Wang Ke seemed a little excited. He immediately said, "Then … Is there a way to let my dad go back? As long as he can go back. I'll do anything you want, but I'm useful to the Desolate Dwellers. You may not need me, but, but I'll do anything you want. "
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid it's not possible in the short term. I can't leave in the short term, and I don't have a spaceship. Oh, your dad is already like this, so what's the point of letting him go back? If he goes back and finds out that things have changed, wouldn't he be even more agitated? "
Wang Ke sighed and said, "Obsession. He just wants to go home and see my grandparents. Think about it, he's been blessed since he was a child. He's a real genius. My grandparents have been living frugally all their lives to pay for his education. He just wants to go home and tell my grandparents that he's grown up, has a family, and has a son."
Gao Qi said softly, "Understandable."
Wang Ke scratched his head and said, "Actually, it's been so many years. I should have given up hope a long time ago, but I still want my father to go back and take a look. It's just that without a spaceship, there's no chance."
"Well, it's not that there's no chance at all. It's just that it's very difficult."
Gao Qi perked up and said to Wang Ke, "You're good at machinery, aren't you? Did you modify those wood-burning cars?"
Wang Ke nodded and said, "Well, I'm not good at math, but I can understand the machines at a glance."
"Math …"
Gao Qi was not led astray. He quickly said, "It's like this. I need to make a detection device. It's something that's never been done before. Can you make it for me?"
Wang Ke said without hesitation, "A detection device? That's the most difficult thing to make because you have to ensure accuracy. If you don't have a reference object, you won't be able to make measurements. "
Gao Qi immediately said, "No need. Well, I have a prototype. You'll understand once you see it. Lidong, bring us the pipe."
Niu Lidong took out the pipe from the luggage and poured water into it. The device to detect psychic power could be used.
"What's this for?"
Gao Qi said calmly, "It's to detect a person's psychic power and determine if they have the potential to become an Esper."
Wang Ke's eyes widened. He looked at the simple pipe and said in shock, "You … are you okay?"
Gao Qi smiled and waved at Niu Lidong, indicating that Niu Lidong should hold the pipe.
Niu Lidong held the pipe and the water column began to rise quickly.
Then, Wang Ke's eyes widened. He rushed to the water pipe and reached out to pick it up. He said in shock, "That's impossible! This is not scientific! "
Niu Lidong was still holding one end of the pipe. He let go and said to Wang Ke, "It's useless to grab that end. Try grabbing here."
Wang Ke grabbed the end of the pipe with a serious face. Then, the water column began to rise.
"This is not scientific, this is not scientific …"
Wang Ke raised his head and looked at Gao Qi. With a look of horror, he asked, "How did you do that?"
Gao Qi shrugged and said, "It's a secret. Well, now I want to know if you can make a portable and more stable device based on this principle."
Wang Ke heaved a long sigh. He thought for a moment and said, "Must we use water? Can we change the liquid inside to oil? "
Gao Qi shook his head and said, "Only water for now."
Wang Ke thought for a while and said, "Okay, which kind do you want? The pointer type is more troublesome. The tools I have now can't guarantee that it's airtight. Can we make it like a thermometer?"
Gao Qi smiled and said, "You can do whatever you want. I just want it to be convenient and durable. You don't have to fill it with water every time."
Wang Ke frowned and said, "But I don't understand. How can the water move like this?"
"The core part is this. With this water, it can move. Otherwise, it's just an ordinary pipe."
At this time, Gao Qi finally thought of Chuck. He waved to Chuck and said, "You try it too."
Chuck saw it very clearly, but he didn't understand what Gao Qi was talking about. He didn't dare to ask, so he could only be anxious. Now that Gao Qi asked him to try it, Chuck hurriedly took the pipe from Niu Lidong's hand without waiting for Anna to translate.
When Chuck's hand touched one end of the pipe, the water column inside almost all sprayed out of the pipe. A column of water directly poured on the wall.
Gao Qi said to Wang Ke, "See, he's a psychic, so almost all the water in the pipe sprayed out. But if it's an ordinary person, well, it seems that you're also an ordinary person. There's not much hope for you to become a psychic."
Wang Ke said in a daze, "I really want to become a psychic. Well, my first test passed just like that?"
Gao Qi smiled and said, "Well, don't be too disappointed. After all, very few people can become psychics. Now you just have to think about whether you can make this detector."
Wang Ke sighed and said, "I'll give it a try. It shouldn't be a problem."
"I want to start testing everyone here tomorrow, so try to hurry up. I don't want to have to fill it again and again."
After that, Gao Qi patted Wang Ke's shoulder and said with a smile, "It's up to you."
