Early in the morning, a special piece of news spread like lightning: In two hours, Qiqi, the young strongman on Planet M, will arrive on Earth.
After hearing the news, the young friends immediately flocked to the space station like a tide. Everyone wants to see what this first extraterrestrial visitor looks like.
"Did you know, Qiqi can lift 250 kilograms of weight!"
"Yeah, it looks like he is a giant bigger than an elephant. ! ”
The children ran and guessed all the way.
At 7:50, a rose-red spacecraft landed smoothly. Everyone's eyes were wide open and they were staring at the hatch of the spacecraft.
The cabin door opened, and a person came out slowly.
"Fat gourd!" Someone blurted out.
"What, it's a little old man?" People were very surprised to see Qiang Qiang, who was going to the aerospace transfer station to greet guests, supporting Qiqi.
"Hey, he's not even half as tall as he is!"
"Bragging! He can lift 250 kilograms, and I can blow him up to the sky in one breath!" "
Suddenly, there was a buzz of discussion in the space station.
After half an hour, Qi Qiqi stepped off the spaceship with strong support. However, he was already panting and sweating profusely.
"Qiqi, are you not feeling well?" Qiangqiang felt very strange. Everything was normal in the spaceship just now. Why did Qiqi's behavior change when he arrived on earth? As soon as he stood up from his seat, he fell. Now he seems to have to use a lot of strength to lift his legs. After running on the 10-meter ladder for half an hour, he really walks like a 90-year-old grandmother.
"No...it's nothing. I just feel like my legs are as heavy as lead. I'll be fine after a while."
"Then please sit down." Qiangqiang A chair was brought for Qiqi to sit down.
At this time, all the children gathered around. They knew that Qiqi could write wonderful cosmic calligraphy and had won the first prize in the cosmic calligraphy competition. They all took out their pens and notebooks and asked Qiqi to sign his name as a souvenir.
Of course Qiqi is very happy! He took the pen and notebook and started writing. Unexpectedly, the pen seemed to be pulled and would not obey orders. After I put down the pen, the pen tip always couldn't be opened at one point. Later, Qiqi exerted his strength, and the pen tip scratched the outside of the page with a "Z" sound, which really made Qiqi dumbfounded. It took a lot of effort for him to sign his name one stroke at a time. The font was really ugly, swaying all over the place, like matchsticks put together. Qiqi blushed and returned the notebook to the child, saying repeatedly: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
In order to let Qiqi have a good rest, Qiangqiang had to take emergency measures and sent Qiqi to the hospital in an air-cushion car. Hotel.
"Qiqi, eat an apple to quench your thirst." Qiangqiang arranged for Qiqi to stay and brought a large bag of big red apples.
"Apple? Why is it so small?" Qiqi didn't believe it.
"You're still young! This is the biggest and biggest apple on our planet!" Qiangqiang said proudly.
"Hey, it's not as big as the walnuts on our planet!" He said and went to take the apple Qiangqiang gave him.
"Ah!" As soon as Qiang Qiang's hand was loosened, the apple fell from Qiqi's hand to the ground.
"What's wrong?" Qiangqiang felt confused when he saw Qiqi holding his right hand with his left hand.
"It's my fault that I sprained my wrist accidentally." Qiqi said as he took out a plaster from his pocket and applied it to his right wrist, "Why is your little apple as heavy as a shot put? "
"Shot put? Haha!" Qiangqiang couldn't help laughing. He threw the apple in his hand into the air and caught it again. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and said, "Qiqi, let's reschedule the weightlifting performance in the afternoon!"
"It doesn't matter, just apply the plaster and you will be fine in an hour." Qiqi said disapprovingly Said, "Everything is going according to the original plan."
Hearing that the performance did not need to be rescheduled, Qiangqiang quickly said goodbye to Qiqi and went to prepare for the performance.
Qiqi felt sore and painful all over, and fell asleep while lying on the bed.
"Xiao Qi, where are you going?"
"To Earth! They invited me to participate in a weightlifting show!"
"Invite you? Hey, we should invite them to perform!"
"Mom, why are you confused? I can lift 250 kilograms, but the youth champion on earth only lifted 50 kilograms. ! ”
“But our M planet is small, and its total mass is only one-tenth that of the Earth. Therefore, the force that attracts objects is small. What weighs 50 kilograms here on our planet only weighs 5 kilograms on the Earth. Heavy. You are really ignorant!"
"Liar! How could the weight change?" Qiqi shook his head. He thought that his mother would not allow him to travel to the earth, so he secretly boarded the spacecraft while his mother was at work.
The spacecraft landed on the earth. Qiqi was very excited. When the hatch of the spacecraft opened, he stood up quickly. However, for some reason, I couldn't move forward. My upper body leaned forward and I fell down.
"Ah!" Qiqi was startled. When he opened his eyes, it turned out to be a dream.
"Is mom really right?" Qiqi frowned. Why did he find it difficult to do everything he did on Earth? Maybe..., maybe it's because of the fatigue from the journey! He stretched and jumped twice on the wire bed. He felt more energetic than before, and his heart calmed down again.
The Youth Gymnasium specially designed to welcome Qiqi’s visit was dressed in festive attire. The stands were packed with people. Everyone's eyes were focused on a pair of barbells in the center of the field. That is a pair of barbells with a total weight of 250 kilograms. It would take a lot of effort for the adult weightlifting champions on earth to lift it! However, Qiqi, the young man from planet M, wants to lift it into the air. How much strength is required! Many people were talking and sticking out their tongues from time to time.
At 2:00 p.m., Strongman Qiqi came to the performance venue accompanied by Qiangqiang, and the stadium immediately burst into thunderous applause.
Qiqi looked around, smiled and nodded to all his teenage friends. He coughed twice softly, made an opening statement with his clear voice, and then began to speak eloquently: "Our planet M is a small one in the galaxy, only one-tenth of your earth, and you are not there yet. The satellite - the moon is big, but the people there are all strong men. A 3-year-old child can lift a bucket of water, a 5-year-old child can carry a load of water, and a 7- and 8-year-old child can lift a 100-kilogram bucket. Heavy objects, I am 11 years old, and in the global competition last month, I lifted a 260 kilogram barbell..."
"Wow--" There was another burst of applause from the audience.
"On our planet, the junior high jump champion's score is 2.5 meters, and the long jump record is 15 meters..." Qiqi said proudly, "Of course, we must continue to work hard. The teenagers on our planet My friends are determined to study hard and exercise well, so as to maintain the title of our planet’s “Hercules” in the universe. We also hope that our young friends from the brother planet will work with us to promote each other and continue to create. New record! ”
“Wow—” the applause almost lifted the roof of the stadium.
Qiqi finished his speech and walked to the bell bearer amid bursts of applause. There was silence in the square for a moment. Everyone's eyes were about to pop out, and even their little mouths were open, watching Qiqi's every move.
Qiqi stood in front of the barbell, kicking her legs and twisting her waist, doing preparatory activities before the performance. Suddenly, he leaned over suddenly, grabbed the barbell with his hands like iron pliers, and roared "Hmm──"...
"Qiqi!" The whole audience almost shouted in unison. .
Qiangqiang rushed to Qiqi's side as if he were flying: "Qiqi, wake up, wake up!"
"Waist..., my waist is sprained..." Qiqi His face was pale, and beads of sweat as big as soybeans were dripping from his forehead.
Qiangqiang quickly took out the special plaster Qiqi brought and put it on Qiqi’s waist.
After a while, Qiqi regained his breath.
He frowned and asked Qiangqiang quietly: "How much does the barbell weigh?"
"250 kilograms, I loaded it myself." Qiangqiang replied.
"Is there a scale?"
"Yes!" Qiangqiang helped Qiqi to a scale.
Qiqi stepped on the scale. "25 kilograms." He shouted. Qiqi clearly remembered that her weight on Planet M was 250 kilograms! Why is there only 25 kilograms left now?
Suddenly, Qiqi grabbed Qiangqiang’s hand and said, “Qiangqiang, I overestimate my capabilities. Compared with you people on earth, our strength is too small. Mom is right. , we should invite you to perform a weightlifting performance on Planet M, where you can lift 500 kilograms of weight!"
A week later, a news figure who shocked the world appeared on Planet M! , he is the Earth's youth weightlifting champion Qiangqiang. On planet M, people call him "Jack".
