Chapter 6

6 BIZZAP! Pablo, Violet, Deepak, and Dr. Crisp were back in room fourteen of the Maker Maze. Their space suits and helmets had disappeared. The space tether lay on the floor. Dr. Crisp shook out her rainbow hair and found her backpack. She opened it and pulled out the glittery Maker Manual.

6 BIZZAP !巴勃罗，维奥莱特，迪帕克和医生。 脆皮又回到了创客迷宫的14号房间。 他们的宇航服和头盔不见了。 太空缆绳躺在地板上。 克里斯普博士抖了抖她彩虹色的头发，找到了她的背包。 她打开盒子，拿出那本闪闪发光的《制造者手册》。

"Okay, Makers! Let's find out what's next," she said as the book snapped open. The pages turned quickly. They opened to one that read: LEVEL 2: DARK ENERGY Go to door number fifteen. Dr. Crisp closed the book and tossed it into her backpack. She grabbed the pencil from behind her ear and pointed at the wall opposite the door. "This way!" she hollered over her shoulder. "Careful, Dr. Crisp!" Deepak shouted across the room. But just before Dr. Crisp walked headfirst into the wall, a hidden door slid open. She turned to

“好吧,制造商!让我们看看接下来会发生什么。”她说着，书啪的一声打开了。 书页翻得很快。他们打开一扇门，上面写着：第2层：暗能量，去15号门。 克里斯普医生合上书，把它扔进背包里。 她从耳后抓起铅笔，指着门对面的墙。 “这边走！”她回头喊道。 “小心点，克里斯普医生！”迪帕克在房间的另一头喊道。 但就在克里斯普医生头朝前走到墙上之前，一扇隐藏的门滑开了。 她转向

face the Makers and winked. "What are you waiting for?" Pablo, Violet, and Deepak hurried through the secret entrance just as the door began to close. Room number fifteen was empty except for four long poles sticking out of the floor. Each had a hook attached to the middle. Together, the poles formed a large square. "We just learned about some of the different objects you find in space. But there is one space object that we haven't discussed yet," explained Dr. Crisp. The Makers looked at Dr. Crisp with wide and eager eyes. "Black holes!" she finally said. "Yes!" Pablo and Deepak said. "We're not going to turn into spaghetti, right?" asked Violet, closing her eyes and biting her lip. Dr. Crisp laughed. "Don't worry! No real black holes in room fifteen. We keep those nice and far away in room three thousand!" Violet opened her eyes and gulped.

面对造物主眨眨眼。 “你还在等什么？”巴勃罗、维奥莱特和迪帕克匆匆穿过秘密入口，门正要关上。 15号房间空荡荡的，只有四根长杆子从地板上伸出来。 每个中间都有一个钩子。 这些杆子连在一起形成了一个大广场。 “我们刚刚了解了一些你在太空中发现的不同物体。 但是有一个太空物体我们还没有讨论过。” 脆。制造者看了看博士。 眼睛睁得大大的，炯炯有神。 “黑洞！”她终于说。 “是的!”巴勃罗和迪帕克说。 “我们不会变成意大利面吧？”维奥莱特闭上眼睛咬着嘴唇问道。 克里斯普博士笑了。“别担心!15号房间没有真正的黑洞。 我们把那些漂亮的东西远远地放在第三千房间里！”维奥莱特睁开眼睛，咽了口气。

Dr. Crisp continued. "Today, you're going to figure out how black holes work." She got the Maker Manual out of her backpack. It flew open to a page with a list of instructions. Pablo, Violet, and Deepak looked them over. Dr. Crisp reached again into her backpack and started pulling out supplies. She removed a giant black bedsheet, a large black ball, and two smaller purple marbles. Dr. Crisp folded her hands behind her back and started circling the sheet.

克里斯普博士接着说。“今天，你要弄清楚黑洞是如何工作的。” 她从背包里拿出了制造者手册。 它迅速打开，翻出一页，上面有一列说明。 巴勃罗、维奥莱特和迪帕克打量着他们。 克里斯普医生再次把手伸进背包，开始拿出医疗用品。 她拿出一张巨大的黑色床单、一个大的黑色球和两个较小的紫色弹珠。 克里斯普医生双手交叉在背后，开始围着被单转。

"This sheet represents a force that scientists still don't fully understand." Dr. Crisp suddenly leaped in the air and clicked her heels. The room went black. When she landed on the ground, her face was lit up by a flashlight that she held beneath her chin. With a smile, she said, "Scientists call it dark energy. And everything in our universe is connected by it." She turned off the flashlight and clicked her heels again. The light returned.

“这张纸代表了一种科学家仍未完全理解的力。” 克里斯普博士突然在空中跳了起来，咔哒一声踩着脚跟。 房间里一片漆黑。当她降落在地面上时，她的脸被她放在下巴下面的手电筒照亮了。 她笑着说：“科学家称之为暗能量。 我们宇宙中的一切都是通过它联系在一起的。” 她关掉手电筒，又咔哒一声踩着脚跟。 光又回来了。

"Whoa, that sounds creepy," said Violet, blinking. A shiver slid down her spine. "You can think of dark energy as a fabric. Space fabric! That's why we use a sheet to model it," Dr. Crisp continued. "To complete this level, you'll need to figure out how black holes work. But first, you need to make the model," she said, pointing to the instructions. Pablo rubbed his hands together. His chest began to rise again with the excitement that had faded during level one. "Let's do this!" he said. Then Dr. Crisp hollered, "Ready, set, MODEL!" The trio huddled together. "I think all we have to do is attach this sheet to the hooks," said Pablo, looking over the instructions. Violet started spreading out the large sheet. "We'll definitely need to work together. Otherwise, it will get all twisted and tangled." "These are probably the holes the hooks need to go through," said Deepak, holding up an edge.

“哇，听起来很恐怖。”维奥莱特眨着眼睛说。 她的脊背打了个寒颤。 “你可以把暗能量想象成一种织物。 空间结构!这就是为什么我们用一张纸来模拟它。 清爽的继续。“要完成这一关，你需要弄清楚黑洞是如何工作的。 但首先，你需要做一个模型，”她指着说明书说。 巴勃罗搓着手。 他的胸脯又开始上升，兴奋感在第一关时消退了。 “我们开始吧！”他说。然后博士。 克里斯普喊道：“准备，准备，模特！”三人挤在一起。 “我想我们所要做的就是把这张纸绑在挂钩上，”巴勃罗说着，看了看说明书。 维奥莱特开始铺开那张大床单。 “我们肯定需要共同努力。 否则，一切都会变得错综复杂。” “这些可能是钩子需要穿过的洞，”迪帕克说，举起了一个边缘。
