TISHW 30




Chapter 30 Rescue the Hostages

Shu Hua probably couldn't bear it anymore and her pitiful voice soon sounded from the loudspeaker, "Bigshot, Jian Cang, Lawyer Xiang, where are you..."

The few people picking up the ball stopped. Jian Cang only remembered then, "Oh, Shu Hua!"

He quickly raised his voice and asked, "Shu Hua, do you know where you are? Let's go find you!"

"I'm..." Shu Hua just said two words and a gurgling sound followed behind her. It was unknown whether she was being pushed into the water or whether the water tank was full and she was drowning.

Jian Cang was shocked, "She can't possibly stay in the water forever!"

Jiang Yu looked around and headed straight toward the bathroom. Qin Shiyu and Ye Yuanyu walked almost at the same time.

Jian Cang said confusedly, "Hey, did you get the clue? When? Why didn't I notice?"

Ye Yuanyu explained as he walked, "To fill and drain such a large water tank, it must be in a place with water supply and drainage. And it shouldn't be too far from us. So it is most likely in the bathroom."

Jiang Yu nodded.

It dawned on Jian Cang, "Waa, have you all thought of it? So awesome!"

【I have seen how fast top students learn. It has only been a while since God Ye followed Elder Sister Yu and learned to think and look for clues from a director's perspective. 】

【The director of "All Rounder" is about to cry- How can we stump them? 】

【I have a premonition that it’ll be the daily battle of wits and courage between top students and the director group in the future, hahaha. 】

Jiang Yu and the others guessed right. Shu Hua was indeed in the bathroom, but she wasn’t as pitifully locked up as they imagined...

Looking at the shining "mermaid" in the water tank, the group didn't know what expressions to have.

Shu Hua grabbed the iron net at the top with both hands, her body sank down, her head was buried in the water, and she started blowing bubbles. This was how the gurgling sound came from the speaker just now. She seemed to be having a lot of fun.

Jiang Yu took the key and helped her open the top lid. Shu Hua held the edge of the water tank and popped out of the water, "You are finally here!"

Jian Cang said, "Why are you scaring people through the loudspeaker? We thought you were being pushed into the water by the kidnappers and were about to drown."

Shu Hua put her arms on the edge of the water tank and said with a smile, "I was acting with her, pretending to be pitiful to make her relax her guard. I wanted to say a few more words, but they wouldn't let me and could only say two words."

She waved her fish tail happily. As the water tank was a bit small, her big tail fin couldn't fully spread.

Xiang Chen laughed, "Where did this swimsuit come from?"

Shu Hua twirled around in the water, "I escaped and stole it. How is it? Beautiful, right?"

She was quite beautiful. Since they had just finished exercising, their bodies were very hot. Now seeing her comfortable appearance, they almost wanted to go in for a bubble bath.

But... "Escape? You escaped?"

Shu Hua said, "That’s right."

She pointed to the top of her head.

Everyone looked up and saw a note taped to the roof: 【Strength works wonders: Use all your strength and you may be able to escape. 80kg of force can open the roof for one minute. 】

Zhang Diyi seemed to be giving people hope and despair all the time. How was it possible for a girl to reach 80 kilograms of strength for one minute?

Then Shu Hua spoke, "Before, there was a rope hanging on that beam. One end was connected to the roof and the other hanging down. Now they are probably afraid that I will run away again. they took it away."

Jian Cang couldn't believe it, "So you used 80 kilograms of force to pull up the lid for one minute?"

Shu Hua showed off her arm muscles, "Easy! I usually lift about 100 kilograms for fitness."

【I have to say here, this girl is so awesome! 】

【I saw it just now! If the great gods weren't so powerful, I'd like to kneel down to her. What powerful female warrior. 】

【So don't judge by her appearance. No ordinary person can be an intern of "All Rounder". 】

【That’s right. In fact, less than twenty minutes have passed since God Yu and the others broke through the level and she has done a lot of things by herself. 】

【Hahaha, escape and be caught again? 】

"Then what? Didn't you run out? What's up with the swimsuit?" Jian Cang was curious.

Shu Hua said, "I ran out, ran to the locker room, and saw a row of swimsuits. Considering how I would definitely not be able to escape by myself and will most likely have to join you here in the end, I took precautions and planned to wear on a swimsuit and run."

The group looked at her swimsuit:...

Ye Yuanyu couldn't help but remark, "How can you run in this?"

Her whole leg was stuffed into her tail. She couldn't even jump properly let alone run.

Shu Hua sighed, "I just changed and they blocked the door. Since I couldn't escape, so of course I had to choose something good-looking."

【Hahaha, perfect score for logic. 】

Xiang Chen laughed, "So you lifted 80 kilograms of iron, went out, put on a beautiful swimsuit, and was caught back again?"

【Hahaha, you are a strong little princess who likes beautiful clothes. 】

【I just went to check out the concept of lifting 100 kilograms of iron. Afterward, I can understand God Ye at the laboratory level. It turns out that he really wasn't letting her be. He truly can’t win. 】

【Hahaha, no wonder he was so childish afterwards. It turned out to be unwilling to submit! 】

Others obviously thought of Ye Yuanyu's experience and cast sympathetic glances at him.

Ye Yuanyu took the key from Jiang Yu's hand with an expressionless face and went to open another water tank on the opposite side. "I'm going to save 'Li Zhen'."

Yes, the other water tank was in the bathroom. It was the other corner diagonally across Shu Hua’s corner, more than ten meters apart.

The other party was the same as they saw on the screen at the beginning. She looked "tortured" and haggard and kept shouting for help.

【This is the correct way to be tied up. Shu Hua is really on vacation, what’s more a beach vacation. 】

【Ain’t that right. Before seeing “Li Zhen”, I almost forgot that they are controlled by the kidnappers. 】

Just as Ye Yuanyu helped NPC "Li Zhen" open the lid, the loudspeaker in the corner rang again: "Haha, congratulations on your successful self-rescue."

Shu Hua tilted her head, "It sounds a bit snarky. Is she mocking us?"

The kidnapper laughed loudly through the loudspeaker, "That's right, do you think you can escape?"

"But your efforts aren't completely in vain. At least you can stay together for the last time!" The kidnapper's voice gradually became crazier. "The detonator of the bomb is under the water tank. When the water level in the water tank reaches the pressure line, the detonator will start and this place will be blown to ashes with a bang! Hahahaha..."

Everyone looked at the water level in the water tank in unison. It had reached Shu Hua's shoulders, and the pressure line was right above her head.

And after the other party said this, the amount of water filled in the water tank instantly increased and the water level rose significantly faster. It reached Shu Hua's chin almost at once.

Shu Hua quickly reached out to pick up the clothes hanging on the side and pushed it into the water. Everyone looked at the bulging shape. Once again, they didn't know what expression to put on.

It turned out that she wasn't just playing, but had made preparations for self-rescue. It was a pair of sports swimming pants. The bottom of the legs had been tied up and it had turned into a water bag. After filling it with water, Shu Hua lifted the swimming pants. Once the water was poured out of the water tank, the water level in the water tank had immediately dropped a lot.

"That's right, swimsuit!" Jian Cang caught on upon seeing this and quickly took Xiang Chen to the locker room.

【Hahaha, so the swimsuits in the locker room were actually used for this, right? 】

【Though our magical strong princess is having fun, she doesn’t delay the main matter at all. 】

Jiang Yu saw Shu Hua filling it so awkwardly and walked up the steps outside and took the swimming pants from her hand. In the end, she almost didn't lift it up and gained a new understanding of Shu Hua's strength.

Qin Shiyu, who was leaning against the wall nearby, said to Shu Hua calmly, "I think the water level will drop faster if you come out."

Shu Hua:......

Ye Yuanyu, who was helping "Li Zhen" out on the opposite side, happened to think of this problem. He turned his head back to look at Shu Hua's big tail and let out a sneer.

Jiang Yu looked at her fish tail, which was difficult to move, and asked, "How did you get in?"

Shu Hua glared at Qin Shiyu and Ye Yuanyu. Then she sat down directly on the steps and began to take off the fish's tail.

Jiang Yu:……

The audience was amused to death by her:

【No one else can do this, put on a swimsuit over the swimsuit, hahaha. 】

【So people have strategies. When there is no danger, they will look beautiful. If there is danger, they will take off their clothes and run. It will affect everything. 】

【Besides, this fish tail seems to be better suited for filling. 】

【It can be filled, but it can hold two buckets of water. Who can lift it? 】

The audience was just discussing when they saw Shu Hua crawling out of the water tank and lifting the fishtail out of the water. She looked so relaxed.

Audience:……

Jian Cang, who had just returned with a pile of swimsuits in his arms, was surprised: “Damn!"

Shu Hua turned around. Xiang Chen burst into laughter, "I thought you were holding your lower body just now. Scared me to death."

Jian Cang regained his senses, "You’re actually wearing two swimsuits, haha."

【This is hilarious. Why is this girl so funny in everything she does? 】

As they quickly tied up the legs of the swimming pants, they heard the kidnapper's laughter coming from the loudspeaker, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, there are pressure devices under the two water tanks! I wonder if you can handle it."

While she was talking, the amount of water in the other water tank rapidly increased.

Ye Yuanyu said, "No, this place was almost full!"

Jian Cang quickly gave two swimming pants to Ye Yuanyu and "Li Zhen", "You are responsible for this side, and we are responsible for that side."

Ye Yuanyu poured it a few times. Although the water level dropped, it would soon rise. A few times, it was in the danger zone. He couldn't help but frown, "It's not an option to keep doing this."

Xiang Chen discovered this problem, "Two people can't pour water as fast as it fills. Four people can barely manage."

"Even if four people can do it, we can't keep doing this." Jian Cang worried, "The ransom has yet to be collected."

At this time, the audience began to think of ways:

【Should we pour out more than half of the water, and then they work together to move the water tank? 】

【Not to mention that they can’t keep up with the speed of pouring water. The water tank is too high. Now they can only fill it while standing on the steps outside. Once the water level drops again, they will have to bend down. It will be very tiring and speed will be much slower. 】

【In other words, the water level can only reach at least half a person's height and the speed of scooping water will decrease. But if the water filling speed doesn’t slow down and the water level will rise again. They will have no chance to move the water tank. 】

【Tsk tsk, it is indeed "All Rounder". There is something very interesting about the design of this obstacle. 】

【So what should we do? Divide four people out to scoop water, and the remaining two people look for clues to get out? 】

【The ransom is a big problem. Two people can't solve it. 】

In short, the top students seem to have finally encountered a dead end here.

【They won’t spend the rest of the time pouring water, right?】

Of course not. Jiang Yu kept looking around, obviously looking for something. She went to the dressing room outside to look around. When she came back, she suddenly thought of something and walked straight toward the shower head.

This gymnasium wasn't small. There were more than a dozen shower heads in the bathroom, all of which were hose showers. Jiang Yu picked up a shower head and examined it. She turned around and shouted, "Shu Hua."

"Yeah! Bigshot, do you have a solution?" Shu Hua ran over in a hurry. Jiang Yu pointed at a place and said, "Help me twist it."

Jian Cang watched them while scooping water and asked doubtfully, "Bigshot, what are you going to do?"

While Jiang Yu was removing the pipe, Qin Shiyu came over to remove other hoses.

The audience was all confused:

【What can this do? It can’t collect the water inside. Why do they need a pipe? 】

【The pipe connects to the water injection port? Just let the water flow outside? 】

【The water injection port is so thick, it can’t be connected. 】

【Holy crap, I seem to know what she was going to do? ! 】

【It’s a siphon! Siphon! Why didn't I think of that! 】

Siphon was a junior high school physics knowledge. Ye Yuanyu and the others quickly caught on. Ye Yuanyu left Xiang Chen and Jian Cang to scoop water and ran over to remove the shower hose.

Jiang Yu and Shu Hua had already dismantled one end. She blocked one end with her thumb, then put the other end of the hose into the water tank, and released her thumb. After a while, water began to flow from the outer end of the hose.

Jian Cang was delighted, "If there are seven or eight pipes, this water tank will never be full!"

This wasn't difficult knowledge. The audience understood:

【And the flow rate of the siphon water pipe is related to the pressure. That is to say, when the water level rises, the flow rate of the water pipe will increase. When the water level is low, the flow rate will decrease. 】

【With a few more pipes, the water level will never exceed the height of the pipe opening inside, so there is no need to move the water tank at all! 】

【Ahhhhh, why is Elder Sister Yu so smart! 】

【She is simply omnipotent. 】

【She really made me feel that our study isn't to get into college and have a halo of honor, but to enable us to have the ability to solve problems when we encounter trouble. This way, we will not be incompetent and furious. 】

【I remember God Yu said something similar. The purpose of studying is to enable yourself to do whatever you want. As for degrees and the like, they are the aura and honor you should get after your hard work. 】

【Why did it suddenly rise to a higher level? Speaking of which, I like God Yu because he can deal with it calmly no matter what he faces. Now that I think about it, their knowledge does not come out of thin air. Oh, and now we have to add Elder Sister Yu. She was so awesome! 】

【I still have time! I want to study hard and be as omnipotent as them! 】

Jiang Yu and the others didn't know that the live broadcast room was suddenly filled with adrenaline. The group had already removed all the hoses in the bathroom. They removed a few in the men's bathroom. Seven pipes were set up on each water tank to guide water out. The water level visibly dropped to the naked eye and soon reached an equilibrium.

As the amount of water injected inside increases, the speed of water conduction through the pipe will increase. In short, the water level in the water tank never rose once it remained at a certain height.

"Success!" Jian Cang jumped up happily and everyone high-fived each other.

Shu Hua was high in energy, "Then what? What should we do next?"

Next, they stood in the center of the gymnasium, looking at the arrogant "ransom" box above their heads and trying to think of a solution.

Shu Hua saw this for the first time and couldn't help but express the same emotion as Jian Cang did at that time, "It's so arrogant."

Jian Cang said, "Who says it isn’t?"

This time they observed it carefully again.

"There is a hook on the handle of the box, but the opening of the hook is a bit small," Xiang Chen frowned. "The box has to be lifted up hard to take it off, but the rope above is soft. When lifting the box, the rope will shrink. So in short, it’s not easy.”

Jian Cang directly picked a few balls at their feet. He was weighing one in his hand and was eager to try, "Have to try it first. Hit the bottom of the box with the ball?"

Ye Yuanyu observed, "The strength must be strong enough."

Everyone looked at Shu Hua in unison.

Shu Hua immediately felt the heavy responsibility on her shoulders and patted her chest, "It's all on me!"

They made a selection and finally chose a volleyball, which wasn't too big or too small. It had a decent weight and had a large enough load-bearing area for the box.

Jiang Yu told Shu Hua, who was standing under the box, "Leave the place after throwing it away to prevent it from rebounding and hitting you."

Shu Hua nodded, closed her eyes, and took a few deep breaths. Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath. They saw her shout loudly, as if she used all her strength to throw the ball up!

Then everyone watched the ball that was thrown high. Not even touching the edge of the box. It drew a high parabola behind Shu Hua and landed in the audience seat behind.

Everyone:...

Audience:……

Jian Cang knelt down and wailed, "Elder Sister, aim!"

Shu Hua smiled sheepishly, "I did aim."

The audience burst into laughter.

Xiang Chen suppressed a smile and comforted her, "It's really difficult to grasp the direction in this position. Let's try it together."

Then everyone began to try what posture and direction to avoid the ball's trajectory deviation and finally taught it to Shu Hua.

But after trying for a while, they came to another conclusion.

"This method won't work." Ye Yuanyu said.

Shu Hua looked at the football that Ye Yuanyu threw up with all his strength. It only slightly touched the box before smashing it down. She hummed, "Even if you are accurate, it's useless if you don't have the strength."

Ye Yuanyu glanced at her, "No matter how strong you are, after being transformed into rising kinetic energy, it won't have the energy to lift the box up."

Therefore, even if Shu Hua strikes with all her strength, it was impossible to lift the box, not to mention that the hook opening was so narrow and the rope was soft.

"Unless you are a cannon."

Jiang Yu's expression changed when she heard this. She walked under the steel beam and looked up.

Upon seeing this, Jian Cang immediately said, "Elder Sister Yu, do you have any idea?"

Jiang Yu pointed to the two ropes hanging the box and said, "Are buckles being used over there?"

Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen both came over.

The ransom suitcase was hooked by a hook, but above the hook were two "V" shaped ropes. In order to keep the box stable at a fixed height and position, the tops of the two ropes were buckled. It was similar to the principle of a car seat belt. The base was fixed on the beam and the bayonet at the end of the rope was inserted inside. The rope will not move when they mess with the suitcase.

Xiang Chen responded, "That's right. In the sky, this method is used when tying heavy objects. It is stable and strong and the safest way."

Jiang Yu said, "Press the buckle button and the end of the rope hanging the suitcase will loosen and the suitcase will fall down."

Jian Cang blinked and didn't understand, "You want to directly deal with those two ropes?"

This time Ye Yuanyu couldn't keep up with her train of thought, "Then how can you press it?"

Jiang Yu looked at the tennis ball on the ground and pondered.

【Throw it with a tennis ball? 】

【Isn’t that more difficult? They couldn't throw it accurately at a target as big as a suitcase. Not only was the button higher than the suitcase, the target was also smaller. How could they possibly hit it? 】

【Even if it can be thrown, it requires a lot of strength. It was impossible to press it open. 】

【What if you use a tennis racket? A tennis racket can hit and give a very high speed. It is theoretically possible, but hitting such a small place requires a very high level of skill. 】

【But this bigshot never aimlessly makes a mistake. If she says that, she must have a solution, right? 】

【Ahhhhh, I am so curious. I really want to get into Bigshot’s head to see what she is thinking! 】

Not to mention the audience, others were curious. Xiang Chen thought Jiang Yu wanted to use the racket to hit with precision and speed, "Who is highly skilled in tennis?"

Everyone looked at Qin Shiyu in unison.

Qin Shiyu laughed, "I’m not that powerful."

He looked at Jiang Yu curiously, wanting to know what method she was going to use.

Jiang Yu said, "Galileo's cannon."

Jian Cang appeared shocked, "What cannon? Bigshot, do you want to make a cannon?"

Xiang Chen and Shu Hua were equally confused. Ye Yuanyu seemed to be trying to remember something, while Qin Shiyu showed a surprised expression.

【Holy crap, it’s the first time! For the first time, God Yu showed a surprised expression. 】

【Elder Sister Yu thought of a way that even God Yu had not thought of! 】

【So, what is Galileo's cannon? 】

【I just went to check it out. I just want to say, Elder Sister Yu is awesome. How much weird knowledge does she have stored in her mind. 】

【The most important thing is that she not only reserves it, but can use it at any time! 】

【Really, every time when I thought I would no longer be surprised, she tells us that it is far from reaching her limit. 】

Qin Shiyu said, "How do you plan to control the direction?"

Shu Hua consciously pulled back the top students whose thoughts had skipped afar, "What is a Galileo cannon?"

Jiang Yu explained, "Do you know Galileo's experiment of two small balls landing on the ground at the same time?"

Shu Hua nodded and Jiang Yu said, "The Galileo Cannon is derived from this basis."

"When two or more balls are stacked and hit the ground together, the top ball will absorb the energy from the balls below and bounce back to incredible heights like a cannonball."

Ye Yuanyu immediately understood the principle, "This is fast enough and has sufficient kinetic energy. The potential energy converted into it is enough to open the button!"

【……】

【It’s like taking a physics experiment class. 】

【Hahaha, it’s a very interesting physics experiment. 】

【I never quite understood it before, but suddenly I understand the transformation of kinetic energy and potential energy. 】

【Have you opened up the blood vessel channels of physics? Hahaha. 】

"There is only one problem now," Ye Yuanyu said, "Its direction is difficult to control."

After all, the surface of the balls was round. If they are stacked together and dropped, the direction in the middle will definitely change.

Jiang Yu blinked, "Make a cannon barrel and give it a fixed trajectory."

【Let me translate: If the direction is difficult to control, wouldn’t it be fine if we control it? 】

【Suddenly I understand why I feel comfortable looking at her. This bigshot seems to never flinch when faced with anything. She would overcome obstacles and solve problems whenever she encountered them. She never hesitated at all. 】

【Yes, yes, the key is, nothing can trouble her! Elder Sister Yu is my new idol! 】

Qin Shiyu started to move first, "Let’s see if there is anything that can be used as a 'cannon barrel'."

He thought for a while and asked Jiang Yu, "Use tennis balls?"

Jiang Yu nodded.

【God Yu is so positive. Seems like this idea is really interesting. 】

Shu Hua acted as the audience's mouthpiece, "Why use tennis balls?"

Jiang Yu said, "The tennis ball is small in size and heavy in weight. And its direction is easier to control. Mainly, it is easier to make a cannon barrel."

After all, they had solid basic knowledge. After understanding the principles of the Galileo Cannon, they immediately knew what they were looking for. Shu Hua gave a vivid description for everyone, "Actually, just find a paper shell and roll it into a paper tube."

Ye Yuanyu, who was passing by, praised him, "En, truly smart. A genius."

Shu Hua:......

Xiang Chen helplessly shook his head. Fearing that they would quarrel again, he quickly interjected, "Okay, let's find something that can work. The smoother the inner wall, the better."

Everyone scattered around to search. Shu Hua suddenly found a few thumb-thick plastic poles under the seats in the auditorium, "Huh? What is this for?"

The cameraman was very active in giving them a close-up.

Jian Cang, who was looking for something on the other side, looked over and suddenly patted his head, "It should be a tool for fetching the box, right? Are these eight or nine meters long when tied up?"

As he spoke, he shouted to everyone, "It seems that we have found the tools to fetch the box!"

Everyone came over and stared at the poles.

【Pole: Trembling. 】

Ye Yuanyu said: "Isn't it troublesome to tie this up? Do we have to find a rope next?"

Xiang Chen said, "Such a thin pole will be very unstable if it was tied into a length of eight meters. And it cannot be operated by one person. It will be very laborious for two or three people to work together."

Qin Shiyu said lazily, "Trouble."

Jiang Yu turned around and continued looking for materials to make the cannon barrel.

Jian Cang and Shu Hua looked at each other and stuffed the poles back under the seats in the auditorium.

Director team:......

【Hahahaha, the method provided by the program team is rejected. 】

【The top students in this episode are really rebellious. They just skipped the level and refused to use the solution provided by the program team. 】

【Bigshots: This program team isn't good. 】

【Hahaha, their rebellious bones are back again! They actually robbed the program team! 】

【It’s so funny. The props aren’t enough for them to take down anymore. 】
