Ten minutes later, Jiao Wei and the man who retrieved the airplane model from the tree came over together.
The person who originally played the Rubik's Cube placed the Rubik's Cube with its six sides restored on the wooden shelf next to it.
The wooden shelves are old with lots of scratches and the legs have been chopped off. This shelf and some similar tables, chairs, benches, etc. in this building have been repaired to varying degrees. The repaired places are much newer than the original ones, but they are also worn out. It seems that this place is often visited by people. .
"Since everyone is here, let's start." The senior brother Cheng stood up and said.
Zheng Tan stood on the window sill, watching the people inside take out model cars, some of which were different in appearance, some were like a reduced version of a sports car, very delicate, some were like a reduced version of an off-road vehicle, and some were like Unfinished works, the casing is incomplete or not installed at all, and some parts are exposed.
These people really are playing with toy cars. Zheng Tan doesn't care about despising them now. To be honest, Zheng Tan actually still has such a sour grape mentality, who made him not even have a toy car now.
On the cleaned field, there are several circular runways, which are surrounded by rings. Each circular runway is different. Some are relatively flat, some are sprinkled with sand, and some have some small stones thrown inside. , Some circular runways are also set with slopes, as if to simulate different road conditions.
There were other Zheng Tans who didn't have time to observe, because several people had already placed their toy cars on a relatively flat track. After the countdown, the four miniature sports cars started running.
All four cars run very fast. Compared with Liu Yao, the manipulators here are much more capable. There is an age factor, and it is estimated that these people are veterans.
Staring at the cars on the runway for a while, Zheng Tan suddenly felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it, he realized that it was too quiet.
Liu Yao, the sullen and stinky boy, will not talk about it. The people here don't seem to be introverted. Just now Zheng Tan heard them bragging and chatting, but now it stands to reason that they should be shouting to cheer up the fun. At times, it was eerily quiet.
Of course, what I heard most clearly was the sound of the car running, and there was no cheering or cheering as expected by Zheng Tan. Are older children like this when they play with toy cars? Wouldn't they be shouting excitedly like a child
Zheng Tan shifted his attention from the running car to the people standing on the edge of the track.
The four people who controlled the toy car stood there, their expressions changed with the running of the car, they were nervous, excited or annoyed, but they didn't make a sound. As for Jiao Wei, he, like the others, was looking at the toy cars running on the track, holding a notebook in his hand to record something. A few steps away from them, there were still people staring at the instrument on the table, Zheng Tan didn't know what it was for.
About ten minutes later, Zheng Tan heard the senior brother Cheng shouting "Stop", and the four cars stopped.
Finally, after ten minutes of silence in the sports car, it was noisy again, and it was quite intense, much more lively than before.
However, in what Zheng Tan heard, there were very few questions about speed and ranking. What coefficients were these people talking about, and what equations were they talking about? Some theoretical and technical things Zheng Tan did not understand, even if he saw their hands. The data on the previous page, Zheng Tan is also like reading a book from heaven.
It seems that these people are not holding the attitude of playing with toys, but go deeper into research and strive for excellence
Jiao Wei guessed that because he was a newcomer, he didn't talk much. Most of the time, he was taking notes and listening to other people's explanations and suggestions. When he raised his head and was about to talk to someone, he suddenly found that he was standing by the corner window, craned his neck and stared at this. black cat on the side.
Jiao Wei: "?!!"
He doesn't have to look up close or call his name anymore, he can recognize the cat at a glance!
How did it get here? ! Jiao Wei suddenly had a bad premonition.
The people next to Jiao Wei noticed his strangeness and looked over, and also noticed Zheng Tan.
"Ha, another cat is watching our sports car," the man said.
"Again?" Jiao Wei looked at the people around him suspiciously. He thought that these people would be surprised, but he didn't expect most of them to be calm.
"Well, there are old houses around here, and no one lives there now. There are often cats wandering around, and occasionally curious cats come over, but not many. After all, most cats are quite timid." That person explained.
Because of this, even if someone found Zheng Tan squatting at the window and looking at this side, no one would be surprised.
But this is just different. Jiao Wei murmured in his heart.
Now that he was discovered, Zheng Tan didn't hide anymore, but he didn't jump in. He squatted on a closer window sill and continued to watch.
These people ran a few rounds, each round with different models and different runways, and although they talked about their post-run results after the run, it was more about technical topics. Those Zheng Tan were completely laymen.
When Zheng Tan was still human, when Zheng Tan bought a car, someone gave him a model car, and he kept it there as a toy. Many people kept that kind of thing for collection. Most people still think that those who use the remote control to control the toy car to run outside are children who haven't grown up, at least that's what Zheng Tan thinks.
Zheng Tan doesn't know how much progress has been made in car models a few years later, and he has not put much effort into understanding how much, but now, seeing these people playing with model cars, he is really interested.
After that day, Zheng Tan often came to this area in the afternoon, basking in the sun on a low blue tile house not far from the old house, and when he heard the movement inside, he went over to watch.
After two weeks, Zheng Tan learned that these people would come here every Monday and Thursday at 3:00 pm. These people come from different departments, including mechanical engineering, electronic information, mathematics and statistics, as well as people from the School of Physics, the School of Chemistry and other departments, because of common hobbies. And the leader of these people is that "Senior Brother Cheng". As for the more detailed Zheng Tan, it is not clear. It is too difficult to inquire about the news.
Every time these people come to the "sports car", they will also bring some simple and portable instruments. After the completion, they will take away the ones that should be taken away. If they are too lazy to take away, they will directly put them in the cardboard box and put them on the high shelf, and they will leave. When the time comes, the doors and windows of this building will be closed, the door will be locked, and the things left here are not too valuable, and they are not worried.
And these people also know Zheng Tan's origin from Jiao Wei's mouth, know that he is the cat of a teacher in the School of Biological Sciences, and he is familiar with Jiao Wei, so every time they see Zheng Tan watching, they will also give some snacks or something of.
It's a pity that Zheng Tan didn't appreciate it, he glanced at those snacks and never looked at them again. There are also people who are thinking of making cats, swaying down the wool rope or throwing a tire and rolling around trying to attract Zheng Tan's attention, Zheng Tan looks at them like an idiot, and then puts his eyes back on the track to run. model car.
If you can't get a car, have a look at the head office.
After getting acquainted with these people, Zheng Tan stopped staying on the windowsill every time he came, and simply entered the room, stood on the high shelf, and looked down at the situation below.
At five o'clock, these people finished and started to pack their things one by one.
Zheng Tan jumped off the high shelf and was about to leave. When he jumped onto the windowsill, Zheng Tan suddenly heard someone talking about him behind him, and his pace slowed down.
"Why do you think cats are interested in this toy car?" Someone asked, looking at the black cat on the windowsill with his back to them.
"It's not surprising that cats are more interested in such small moving things."
"That's not true. My sister's family just jumped away when they saw this, let alone watching from the side."
"Don't cats like furry? It's all a bunch of hard materials or parts here."
"My uncle's cat likes to squat down and watch my nephew play with the remote control car, but it just doesn't come into close contact."
…
Hearing these people talking, Jiao Wei twitched the corners of his mouth. These people are not familiar with the black cat and look at him like a normal cat, but he knows that the black cat is probably listening to these people's conversations, didn't he see the standing cat's ears turned sideways? ? And that rhythmically ticking tail also proved that the guy was thinking about something.
It's just that Jiao Wei couldn't say what he was thinking. Associate Professor Jiao once talked to him, and Jiao Wei remembered the things to pay attention to about these cats on weekdays, so he is talking about it in his heart now.
After Zheng Tan returned to Jiao's house for dinner, he thought about it, and then ran out decisively.
The target is the old tile-roofed area. Zheng Tan's mind these days are all those running model cars, to be precise, the miniature version of the car. Those people have some model cars that can no longer be called toys, they are all "high-end goods" full of technology.
During this period of time, I have been thinking about cars, so that one day when I was lying on a branch and basking in the sun, I heard two college students passing by below talking about the topic of "car models", Zheng Tan's first reaction turned out to be "car models". Not a "car model"! It wasn't until he heard the two college students talking about those beautiful girls who were either cold or flamboyant, Zheng Tan didn't realize that this "car model" was not another "car model".
Zheng Tan suddenly felt that he was much purer, thinking that when he heard the word "big wave", his thinking would have gone all the way.
Looking up at the sky, the moon is bright and the stars are rare, which is not bad.
There are no street lights in the old tiled house area, only a few lanes on the edge, most of the other places are dim. It is estimated that the school feels that this area will be demolished and rebuilt sooner or later, and there is no need to change the street lights.
Zheng Tan was walking along the trail to the house where Jiao Wei's sports car was, when he suddenly felt that he was being followed. Due to the wind direction, Zheng Tan couldn't smell any unusual odors, but Zheng Tan could hear the slight sound of brushing the grass, and, intuitively, Zheng Tan felt that someone was looking at him, but he didn't mean anything.
A dark figure jumped over from the bushes and rushed towards Zheng Tan.
Zheng Tan was vigilant, knowing the direction from the time the shadow hadn't jumped up yet. Seeing the other party pounce, Zheng Tan jumped away and slapped a few times at the same time, with little force, just like the level of normal cat-to-cat play.
Zheng Tan really didn't expect to meet the sheriff here. This guy hasn't seen a lot of people lately at night. Now it seems that he came here to play. Also, the straight-line distance from this old tile-roofed area to the East District compound is not too far, and there are few people, many cats, and ghosts often howl at night.
