"A spinning top?”
In the Capitol Hall, after Ye Qing left, the president’s face was full of contrast as he looked at the gift on the crystal coffee table.
Before becoming president he was a powerful capitalist, what kind of gift had he not received?
After taking the oath as president, the nations came to congratulate him and he received quite a few gifts.
From precious stones presented by African countries to the best handicrafts presented by major countries, but this is the first time that he has received such a unique gift, a spinning top.
Ye Qing’s euphemistic refusal angered him. Even with this gift, he looked very disappointed. A spinning top can only be worth a few dollars.
Although if your gift is too expensive, and portends an attempted bribe, you can’t send a toy if you like it anyway.
"Mr. President, the representative of Australia will come to meet you immediately you can have him for 15 minutes, then you have a dinner with representatives from various countries."
Assistant Weisz walked quietly, reporting the next route to the President, then went to pick up the wooden box encrusted with the Monster Heavy Industry logo from the coffee table.
......
If you receive more gifts, your horizons will naturally widen.
There are very few gifts that can be seen by the president. Some gifts aren’t even considered toys for her grandchildren.
For example, with the spinning top in front of him, since the president has not spoken, the sole purpose of this gift is to be sent by her to the president’s exclusive warehouse and possibly ineligible to see the sky again until that time. That the president resigns.
......
Just as Weisz had touched the wooden box, there was a knock on the door. It was the representative of Australia.
As one of America’s staunch allies, the Australian Government Representative’s treatment is understandably different. Weisz immediately turned to open the door on behalf of the president.
After the representative has said hello and is seated, Weisz has naturally stepped aside and prepared to record the important conversation, and after the Australian representative leaves, she will go and collect the gift.
Allies belong to allies. Since the two parties represent two countries, they naturally have different interests. And in the face of allies or outright brothers, Mr. President’s attitude is also much more relaxed.
The Australian side hopes that the President can continue to expand the previous ore purchase contracts. The President followed the example of his first guest, Ye Qing, playing Tai Chi.
"Look, this is a gift from Monster Heavy Industry." Mr. President pointed to the wooden box on the coffee table and interrupted with a smile: "This is the funniest gift I have received. I really don’t know if a top is a good delivery."
After that, Mr. President opened the wooden box at will, arbitrarily picked up the exquisitely finished spinning top, and freely turned it up in the air against the base.
"Om ~"
As soon as Mr. President turned the spinning top askew, but since the top was in the air. Damn, it immediately adjusted his posture, and the laser landed right on the base. With a "Ding ~" and the bottom of the spinning top touched the base instantly, then turned to the center of the base, then stood there and spun at high speed.
After this interruption, President Trump and the Australian representative again had a new topic.
A minute later, the President noticed that the spinning top was still spinning. Two minutes later, the representative of Australia noticed that the spinning top was still spinning. Three minutes later they looked again and they saw the black roof still spinning in a circle of blurry figures. So, the President asked suspiciously: "Why doesn’t this spinning top stop?"
"Maybe... It will stop right away." The Australian representative forgot what to say at this time. He was attracted to this spinning top. Mr. President was not much better. He stared with his eyes at the spinning top that had been spinning for quite a while, thinking that she should have been arrested quite a while ago.
Sitting on the side, Weisz, who silently acted as a recorder unknowingly, also used her peripheral vision to stare at the spinning top on the coffee table. The presidential bodyguard guarding the door also looked quietly at the coffee table.
Maybe ... The next moment the spinning top will shake when the gyroscope stops spinning.
Four minutes later...
Five minutes later...
In the eyes of the president and the Australian representative, each of the two had doubts about his knowledge, is the spinning top in front of them the one that started spinning since the beginning of their meeting? The president thought this earlier: "I never thought of trying to spin the top at all."
"Mr. President, it is almost dinner time ... It is almost here." Assistant Weisz looked away from the spinning top with difficulty and quickly looked at the time. She was afraid she would miss the moment when the spinning top fell.
This feeling was akin to obsessive-compulsive disorder, which almost everyone had because it was breaking deep-rooted cognition in people’s minds.
The spinning top wasn’t going to spin all the time; shouldn’t it stop after less than a minute?
When someone spins the spinning top, they like to use all of their energy, because that way the spinning top can spin longer, which is especially rewarding.
Yet, six minutes have passed and the spinning top continued spinning... Something’s wrong, it’s caught people’s attention. In addition, this spinning top was so abnormal that it shocked people.
"Let’s wait for the spinning top to stop before we go to dinner. It should be ... Stopped soon." The President glanced at the Australian representative with some suspicion, who also nodded in agreement with the President, but he was not sure.
Seven minutes had passed and one minute had passed for the stipulated dinner time, and the spinning top still continued to spin.
With noise, the President knocked over the spinning top. He could not let the spinning top delay his dinner with the representatives of various countries any further.
However, an incredible scene happened.
After the spinning top was knocked down, it didn’t stop after a few turns as expected, but after it fell, it quickly rose up like a magic trick and kept spinning. It sounds magical, but it’s scientifically justified. The internal structure of the gyroscope was so precise that it was informative, similar to the self-stabilizing parts of the vortex.
"Huh?" exclaimed Assistant Weisz.
The eyes of the man at the door were so good that he could play the role of a pilot’s bodyguard, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Ah ... what kind of spinning top is this?" Mr. President reached out in panic, to hold the spinning top in his hand. At that point, the spinning top came to a complete stop, leaving everyone in the room to breathe a sigh of relief; otherwise, they would have doubts in their eyes.
Mr. President Put the spinning top back into the groove of the wooden box, and Assistant Weisz walked over, trying to put the whole wooden box away.
"Leave it there; I’ll study it carefully when I come back."
... At the dinner with representatives of various countries, the President was a little distracted, still thinking of the spinning top. It was definitely just a top with no batteries or magnets. The security personnel responsible for the inspection can guarantee this. So why couldn’t the top stop once it was spinning?
Mr. President, with a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, thought that after dinner he would enter government business time and did not need to meet with guests. He would carefully observe how long the top can spin.
An hour later, dinner was over and the President has taken a special car back to the Oval Office of the White House.
Assistant Weisz was sitting in the Oval Office, holding the wooden box with the Monster Heavy Industry logo in her hand.
historical
Back at the office, the president immediately asked her to give him the wooden crate and locked himself in the office. On the persevering table exuding a sense of historical vicissitudes, there were already piles of documents awaiting his approval.
After taking a deep breath, he took out the spinning top and spun it again. This time he was very serious and tough. The spinning top was in the air, waiting to fall on the base. The President decided to ignore it and took a document to look at it carefully.
However, after waiting up to five minutes, Mr. President, who thought that some sort of coincidence might have happened since the last time, could no longer keep his attention on the document. So he frequently turned his head and looked at the spinning top sideways. He looked at it every ten seconds, then dropped the pen to the back, focusing his eyes on the spinning top like that.
He did not believe in this evil! If the spinning top could not stop for no reason, then he would see the moment when it would fall with his own eyes.
However... Eight minutes later, the spinning top was still spinning. Nine minutes passed and the President rubbed his eyes vigorously, because he was absorbed in the hazy shape of the spinning top, and his eyes were already sore. Ten minutes later, Mr. President’s eyes were already uncomfortable when he wanted to give up.
The spinning top suddenly shook. It was a sign of a fall!
"Go on, fall now." "Go on, fall now!"
But eleven minutes later, the president who had fallen into a slight madness, found that the shaking spinning top did not collapse.
"If you don’t fall, how can I read the file?"
This spinning top is amazing.
