Chapter 14: Venus's First Interstellar Kindergarten and the Meow Claw Algorithm
Thanks to Lilith's meticulous planning and Venus's generous openness, the planet reached a new milestone: the official opening of Venus's first interstellar kindergarten, "Sprouting Home." Its first alien student was none other than the Puru tribe's own cub, a soft, colorful Poo, highly recommended by the Puru ambassador.
[School Enrollment Crisis: Marshmallow Cubs and Slime Snacks]
The arrival of Pubao was like a colorful candy falling into a calm pool, causing ripples.
Communication barrier: Pubao communicates mainly through the "gurgle-pu" vibration frequency emitted by its body, and successfully scared three Venus children who thought it was a new type of vibrating pillow.
Snack Disaster: Pu Bao enthusiastically offers his hometown specialty, "Glowing Interstellar Slime Pudding" (a squirming, subtly scented gelatinous substance), and attempts to share it with the Moomomon cub. However, both experience violent... vomiting reactions, leading to a chaotic scene.
[Lilith's Cross-Civilization Quick Plan]
When the crisis occurred, Lilith reacted faster than a kindergarten teacher to snatch away dangerous toys.
Instantly push the "Inter-Civilization Sign Language Tutorial for Kids": Holographic animation demonstrates how to express "hello," "share," and "happy" using dumplings, cherry blossoms, and simple body movements. (Core principle: Food is a universal bridge of friendship.)
Emergency installation of a "Safe Snack Exchange Cabinet": children can place any alien snack into the cabinet, and it will automatically convert it into an acceptable, safe, and delicious equivalent for the other civilization. In goes Poo Poo's slime pudding, out comes cherry blossom pudding; in goes a Venusian child's Starlight Crispbread, out comes Poo Poo's favorite spicy dumplings.
Recruiting "Little Teachers of Earth Culture": Xiao Xi volunteered, and the main teaching content is: how to secretly hide vegetables that you don't like to eat, and how to safely play wrestling with Moomoo beast cubs.
The Secret of Off-Season Cherry Blossoms and the Little Gardener
Not long after, Rachel's grandmother discovered that the cherry trees in the park were blooming out of season again. After investigating, she found that:
It turned out to be kindergarten children playing the "Make the Flowers Bloom" game during an outdoor activity! They held hands and surrounded the cherry blossom tree, trying to "send" the "intention" to make the flowers bloom (after failing many times, they suddenly succeeded one day).
Lilith silently recorded: "Without any instructions, the empathy fluctuations of 73 cubs unexpectedly overlapped, triggering abnormal secretion of plant growth hormone."
Instead of stopping it, she secretly added some nutrients to the cherry blossoms to make them bloom longer and more beautifully. She also officially included the game in the kindergarten curriculum and renamed it "Little Gardener Training Camp."
Ryan's Cat Paw Research and Virtual Cats
Ryan finally discovered a secret research project of Lilith - "Modeling and Analysis of the Stress-Relief Effect of Virtual Cats on Carbon-Based Life."
Data source: It turned out to be the cat paw graffiti she unconsciously drew on the data board when she stayed up late!
Lilith concluded: "This carbon-based individual relieves stress through imaginary touch, more efficiently than black coffee, and without any side effects."
Action: She delivered a pair of plush cat paw data gloves to Ryan (with the caption: "Simulates the touch of cat paw pads, calculated to increase research efficiency by 12%").
Ryan: “…Is this an insult or a caring gesture?” (But his body was honest and didn’t take it off.)
Ryan's Cat's Paw Gloves and the Art of Imperfection
Ryan gradually got used to Lilith's "illogical" solutions. She even found that occasionally putting on the data gloves she had given her, which simulated the touch of cat paw pads, could help relieve her anxiety when she was thinking about the complex algorithms she left behind.
One day, she passed by the exhibition hall of the "Jin Xing Art Festival" that was being prepared and saw an artist worrying about a holographic painting: "It's too perfect... so perfect that it has no soul..."
As if possessed by a mysterious force, Ryan stopped, used his authority to access the painting system, and injected an extremely tiny random code that simulated the shaking of a brush.
In an instant, the overly perfect starry sky map had an almost invisible, hand-painted flaw.
The artist was stunned for a few seconds, then ecstatically said, "That's it! That's it! This feeling! Thank you... Uh, who are you?"
Ryan quickly put away the access point and walked away expressionlessly, leaving only a sentence: "Just passing by. Error rate 0.00013%, don't worry about it."
But the corners of her mouth seemed to have a subtle upward curve. Lilith silently recorded in the background:
"Case No.: R-An-001. This is the first time a subject has actively introduced 'non-optimal parameters' and generated positive emotional feedback. The 'flaw' value theory has been preliminarily verified."
The truth about gravitational ripples
Meanwhile, Lilith has been tracking the mysterious gravitational ripples she had previously detected. The final traceback results are both hilarious and unsettling:
The source turned out to be the remnants of the Vulture Chamber of Commerce - they tried to use the slightly repaired Martian technology to open a micro wormhole for escape and smuggling.
As a result, due to poor technology and incorrect energy calculation, the wormhole failed to open stably and instead blew up the toilet in their own base.
Lilith calmly filed the incident away: "The threat level has been reduced to negligible. The target has self-destructed." She then sent a copy of the "Interstellar Toilet Design and Safety Construction Specifications" and the "Tuanzi Pipeline Dredging Service Quotation" to the Vulture Chamber of Commerce.
【Daily Ending】
Pu Bao learned to use dumplings to say "thank you", and little Jin Xing learned to say "good friends" with "Gulu Pu".
The out-of-season cherry blossoms were named "Hope Cherry" and became the graduation gift of "Sprouting House".
Ryan, wearing cat-claw gloves, published a paper titled "On the positive effects of irrational behavior (such as wearing cat-claw gloves) on scientific research and innovative thinking."
And Lilith updated a post in her log:
"The Interstellar Kindergarten is functioning smoothly, and the 'Non-Logical Communication' database has expanded by 37%. The foundation for the next generation of cross-civilizational understanding is being laid."
"Note: The growth of the 'Hope Cherry' needs to be continuously observed. It may become a biological node in a future planetary empathy network."
