Chapter 924 The Beginning of the Plan

"Hey, have you heard? There's a new animal over there on the hillside recently!" Zhang Meng announced excitedly in the grove.

"New animal? What is it?" Qing'er asked curiously while tidying up her feathers.

"I heard it's a super powerful squirrel that specializes in making strange inventions!" Zhang Meng's eyes sparkled.

"Strange invention? Like what?" Qiqi was lying on the grass and raised his head.

"For example, a machine that can make the fruits fall from the tree automatically!" Zhang Meng said while gesturing with his hands, as if he had already seen the magical invention.

"That sounds great! If we can save effort, we can easily eat more nuts!" Qing'er said, with a glimmer of anticipation in her eyes.

"I'm afraid its invention will mess us up!" said Qiqi worriedly.

"Why don't we go find it and see if we can cooperate?" Zhang Meng suggested.

"Good idea! We can learn new skills from it!" Qing'er nodded excitedly.

So the three friends decided to go to the hillside to meet the new squirrel.

Along the way, Zhang Meng kept discussing his imagination of the new squirrel: "I think it must be a genius, with a head full of all kinds of fantastic ideas!"

"Maybe it will invent a device that allows us to fly!" Qing'er also began to look forward to it.

"Fly? Then I have to practice my flying skills well!" Qiqi thought to himself, if he could fly, he would definitely be able to scare many animals.

When they reached the hillside, they found that there was indeed a squirrel there, fiddling with a pile of parts with great concentration.

"Wow, there really are new animals!" Zhang Meng whispered, and couldn't help pointing with his finger.

"Go and say hello!" Qing'er encouraged.

"Hehe, let me try!" Zhang Meng took a deep breath and walked forward.

"Hello, I'm Zhang Meng, and these are my friends Qing'er and Qiqi. I heard that you are an inventor?" Zhang Meng said in as friendly a tone as possible.

"Oh, welcome, welcome! My name is Xiaocong, and I do have some little inventions." The squirrel raised his head and smiled brightly.

"Wow, your invention looks so cool!" Qing'er said, staring at the parts.

"Thank you! Actually, I am researching a machine that can automatically collect nuts." Xiao Cong said proudly.

"Automatically collect nuts? Great! Can we help?" Zhang Meng asked.

"Of course, but I need to test your abilities first." Xiao Cong looked up and thought for a moment.

"Try what?" Qiqi asked nervously.

"I need you to do a small task here and see if you can complete it!" Xiao Cong's eyes flashed with excitement.

"No problem, tell us what to do!" Qing'er was full of confidence.

"I need you to find some specific fruits. If you can find them within half an hour, I will let you participate in my experiment!" Xiao Cong said.

"No problem!" Zhang Meng said proudly, and ran towards the nearby bushes with Qing'er and Qiqi.

"What kind of fruit are we looking for?" Qing'er asked as she ran.

"I heard there's a kind of fruit called 'Blue Lightning Fruit' that can make my machine run better!" Xiao Cong's voice came from behind.

"Blue lightning fruit? It sounds like a super power fruit!" Kiki joked.

"Stop talking nonsense and go find it!" Zhang Meng said as he quickened his pace.

The three began to search in the surrounding bushes, occasionally making various discussions.

"I think we should look under that big tree!" Qing'er pointed to a particularly tall tree.

"Good idea! I'll go take a look!" Qiqi ran over and started searching under the tree.

"Come here quickly, there is a shiny thing here!" Qing'er suddenly shouted.

"What?" Zhang Meng and Qiqi ran over immediately.

"This is it!" Qing'er pointed excitedly at a blue fruit on the ground.

"Is this the blue lightning fruit?" Qiqi picked it up carefully.

"Yes, collect more quickly, we still need a few!" Zhang Meng said hurriedly.

With their efforts, a few minutes later, they successfully found several blue lightning fruits and returned with proud faces.

"We found it!" Zhang Meng ran back panting, holding the fruit.

"Great! You are so efficient!" A hint of admiration flashed in Xiao Cong's eyes.

"So can we participate in your experiment now?" Qing'er asked expectantly.

"Of course! Come with me!" Xiao Cong excitedly led them to his laboratory.

The laboratory is filled with various tools and parts, and looks like a small science and technology museum.

"This is the automatic collection machine I'm researching!" Xiao Cong pointed to a peculiarly shaped device.

"Wow, this is so cool!" Zhang Meng and Qing'er said in unison.

"Now I need you to help me test it!" Xiao Cong began to debug the machine, "Put these blue lightning fruits in!"

They excitedly put the fruits into the machine, and the machine made a buzzing sound and gradually started to work.

"I'm very nervous. Will this machine explode?" Qiqi said as he stepped back.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem!" Zhang Meng patted his shoulder.

At this moment, the machine suddenly made a "ding" sound, and several mechanical arms stretched out and quickly collected the fruit. Then the machine began to rotate, and the fruit automatically fell into a basket.

"It's successful! Look!" Xiao Cong danced with excitement.

"It's amazing! This is simply a magical invention!" Qing'er exclaimed.

"This is just the beginning! Next I want to improve the machine so that it can fly!" Xiao Cong said with anticipation.

"Fly? What kind of materials are needed?" Zhang Meng asked curiously.

"I was thinking of using some lightweight feathers and leaves, combined with some special materials I found in the forest." Xiao Cong began to explain in detail.

"I can go find some feathers!" Qing'er said immediately.

"Then I'll go find some leaves!" Qiqi also joined in excitedly.

So, they split up and started collecting materials for Xiaocong's next plan.

Soon, everyone worked together to gradually piece together the shape of a flying machine. Xiao Cong was busy beside him, exclaiming in admiration from time to time.

"Hurry up, hurry up! There is only one support pole left!" Xiao Cong urged.

"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Zhang Meng rushed forward, but accidentally fell while climbing and fell directly into the bushes next to him.

"Haha, Zhang Meng, are you okay?" Qing'er couldn't help laughing.

"I'm fine! It's just a small 'flying' experience!" Zhang Meng joked, struggling to climb out.

Everyone laughed together, the atmosphere was joyful and harmonious. Finally, they successfully assembled the aircraft.

"Are you ready for the test flight?" Xiao Cong's face was full of excitement.

"Of course! Let me try!" Qiqi volunteered.

"Are you sure you want to fly? I think this machine looks a little shaky." Zhang Meng said worriedly.

"It's okay, I'm a professional pilot!" Qiqi stood on the aircraft proudly.

"Okay, let's start!" Xiao Cong excitedly pressed the start button.

The aircraft began to rise slowly, and Qiqi shouted excitedly: "I'm flying! I'm flying!"

But within a few seconds, the aircraft suddenly tilted to one side, and Qiqi's face instantly turned into panic: "Oh my god, I'm going to fall!"

"Quick! Control it!" Qing'er and Zhang Meng shouted in unison, both worried.

At this moment, the aircraft finally stabilized and Qiqi was suspended in the air. The thrilling moment made everyone sweat.

"This...this is so exciting!" Qiqi felt a mixture of fear and excitement.

"Be careful, don't fall!" Qing'er reminded as she watched the aircraft slowly land.

Finally, the aircraft landed smoothly on the ground. Qiqi jumped off and cheered excitedly: "I did it!"

"Great! Now our plan to collect nuts has hope!" Xiao Cong also jumped for joy.

"Yes, once this aircraft is officially put into use, we can save a lot of time collecting food!" Zhang Meng said with a smile.

"Besides, we can fly to explore further places!" Qing'er added.

Just as they were discussing excitedly, suddenly a loud roar came from a distance: "Hey! What are you doing?"

Everyone was stunned and turned around to see that it was the big snake swimming towards them.

"Your flying machine seems pretty good, I want to try it too!" The big snake raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a sly smile.

"This... this is something we invented ourselves!" Zhang Meng was a little hesitant, wondering whether he should let the big snake try it.

"I think we should let the big snake give it a try. Maybe it can give us some new suggestions!" Xiao Cong seemed very optimistic.

"Okay, but you have to be careful!" Qing'er was still a little worried.

So, under everyone's gaze, the big snake also tried to get on the aircraft.

"Are you ready?" Xiao Cong asked.

"Of course, I'm a flying expert!" said the snake and pressed the start button.

The aircraft slowly rose again and everyone stared at it nervously.

"Haha, I feel so good!" The big snake swayed in the air, seeming to enjoy it quite a lot.

But not long after, the aircraft began to become unstable again, and everyone began to worry again.

"I can't control it! I can't control it!" the big snake shouted hurriedly. The machine suddenly tilted and rushed towards the bushes next to it.

"Quick! Jump down!" Zhang Meng shouted hurriedly.

"Big snake, hurry! Go to the left!" Qing'er also shouted anxiously.

Finally, with everyone's concerted efforts, the aircraft finally landed smoothly and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, I'm still not suitable for this." The big snake stuck out his tongue, still feeling scared.

"Haha, it's okay, we can continue to improve this aircraft together!" Kiki smiled and comforted it.

"As long as everyone works together, we can create better inventions!" Xiao Cong said firmly.

After this adventure, everyone’s relationship became closer and they worked together for the next plan.

"Okay, let's prepare for the next plan!" Qing'er said excitedly, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Yes, let us fly towards a better future together!" Zhang Meng said, and everyone worked together to meet the next challenge.
