To be honest, he didn't know how to face Sun Xiaorou's initiative.
But thinking that saying nothing would deepen the misunderstanding, under Sun Jiao's questioning eyes, Jiang Chen took a deep breath and truthfully confessed what happened at the door.
"Did Sun Xiaorou take the initiative? Are you sure you didn't coerce her?" Sun Jiao looked at Jiang Chen suspiciously.
"Am I that kind of person?" Jiang Chen said dumbfounded.
However, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized that he didn't seem to be convincing at all. He took away Sun Xiaorou's first time, although he didn't know it at the time. It was her first time.
"Then what are you going to do to Xiaorou?" Sun Jiao looked at Jiang Chen with a smile.
"I... I don't know." Jiang Chen said with some shame.
Sun Jiao seemed to have expected Jiang Chen's answer and sighed.
"If you want me to reject her, I can—"
"No, you misunderstood." Contrary to Jiang Chen's expectation, Sun Jiao shook her head.
"Huh?" Jiang Chen looked into Sun Jiao's eyes in confusion.
"If she..." Sun Jiao bit her lower lip in disbelief.
"What if?" Jiang Chen leaned his ear closer because he couldn't hear.
"Forget it, ah! Sure enough, this is still too weird!" Sun Jiao covered her suddenly red face, abandoned the confused Jiang Chen, and walked away quickly.
At the dining table, Lin Ling was as lively as ever, quarreling vaguely with Sun Jiao while chewing. Sun Xiaorou's seat was arranged directly opposite Jiang Chen. It was her first time to taste such delicious food, and she was full of praise for Yao Yao's craftsmanship. Yao Yao, who was praised, smiled shyly as always, with his two little feet dangling happily under the table.
Originally, Jiang Chen was worried that there would be some embarrassment between him and Sun Xiaorou because of the kiss at the door just now, but now it seems that he is simply overthinking it.
However, the moment Jiang Chen accidentally met her eyes, he could read a meaningful smile in her eyes.
... ...
After dinner, Jiang Chen went to Jiang Lin's laboratory.
He stood at the door and knocked, but the door didn't open. Jiang Chen stood at the door and paused for a moment, then took out the EP.
"Is it at the rocket test site?" Jiang Chen said to himself as he looked at the bright spot on the map.
Due to the positioning function of the chip, he can grasp the position of each knight. certainly. Out of respect for personal privacy and other factors, he rarely uses this function unless necessary.
After confirming Jiang Lin's location, Jiang Chen turned around and walked towards the target.
Rocket testing site.
Although the name sounds like it should be high-end, in fact it is just an open space surrounded by a cement wall. There are two tables on the open space, a workbench covered with electronic parts and a chemical experiment table with bottles and jars. Except for these two tables. Next to it were piles of mechanical equipment he brought from his former prosthetic leg boutique, as well as scrap parts that Jiang Chen paid for.
Jiang Chen once promised Jiang Lin that as long as he completed the tasks assigned to him, he would fund his dream and help him develop something like a warp engine. Now that the production line of the K1 mechanical exoskeleton has been completed, and the high-imitation Beifeng-76 ballistic missile has also been completed, he naturally has the time to tinker with his ideals.
"Is this the warp engine?" Jiang Chen teased as he looked at the large vortex engine he was tinkering with.
Without looking back, Jiang Lin turned the wrench in his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Grinning.
"It's far from it. This thing is just a simple working fluid propulsion engine. Let alone warp speed, it can't even cross the threshold of non-working fluids."
"I thought you had it figured out." Jiang Chen said.
"I thought I was about to get it out." Jiang Lin sighed.
In fact, when Jiang Chen first occupied Shelter 27, Jiang Lin applied for a scientific research project from Wang Qing. No, strictly speaking it was not a scientific research project. He just sent a concept drawing of the "warp engine" to an expert in the aerospace field, hoping to verify the feasibility of his conjecture.
However, the answer he got was disappointing. The expert used various professional knowledge and theories to criticize his concept map as useless. Jiang Lin did not give up. He even took the time to personally go to Camp 27 and confront the aerospace expert face to face.
The result was still disappointing to him. The aerospace expert didn't believe him when he saw it. He used a quantum computer to demonstrate to him in person how ridiculous the technical mistakes he had made in the warp engine he proposed were.
This is like a junior high school student who suddenly thought that he had discovered the mystery of a perpetual motion machine, and then used his existing knowledge to draw a drawing that he thought was flawless. It’s the same as appearing in front of a physics teacher with a college degree.
It is undeniable that this scientific research spirit that dares to question is worth promoting. But in front of science, truth is the only one.
After listening to Jiang Lin's story, Jiang Chen was silent for a moment and comforted him softly.
"At least you proved that one road doesn't work."
"However, it is not what I proved. In 2091, someone proved that my design idea was wrong. In the next eighty years, people continued to prove hundreds of wrong ideas, but I didn't know it at all. ." Smiling to himself, he threw the wrench in the toolbox and took out a welding gun.
"Are you feeling frustrated?" Jiang Chen asked casually while looking at the flashing electric sparks.
"No, otherwise I wouldn't be able to do this thing." Grinning, Jiang Lin stood up, reached out and patted the thing he had been tinkering with for almost a week.
Walking to his side, Jiang Chen took a look at this three-person tall man.
"This is?"
"The rm-320 rocket engine... a high imitation version plus a smaller version." Looking at this work of art completed by himself, Jiang Lin could not help but show a proud expression on his face, "Although it is a technology at the end of the 21st century, But don’t you think he’s like a work of art?”
"Technology at the end of the 21st century?"
"That's right. According to the aerospace expert, working medium propulsion rocket technology was eliminated at the end of the 21st century. The space elevator can easily transport the aircraft from the ground to the synchronous orbit. The aircraft that reaches the synchronous orbit will then pass through the non-synchronous orbit. The propulsion of the working fluid engine will lead to the moon, or Mars, or even further afield." As he spoke, Jiang Lin grinned at Jiang Chen.
"Are you planning to start from the very basics?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.
But this thing is still very useful to him. Jiang Chen didn't care whether it was a working substance or a non-working substance. In this world, this was a black technology. Or not to mention leaving it to the present world, even if it stays in the apocalypse, it can be used as a propeller for ballistic missiles.
"You can think so." Jiang Lin shrugged.
"How much does this rocket engine cost?" Jiang Chen asked casually.
"Including the cost of solid fuel, the total is 20,000 sub-crystals."
"Good guy, such a rocket engine will cost the military expenditure of 1,000 people." Jiang Chen scolded with a smile.
Seeing that there was no distressed expression on Jiang Chen's face, Jiang Lin also smiled and did not answer.
After pausing for a moment, Jiang Chen looked at the rocket engine in front of him again and said suddenly.
"I plan to formally establish the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology, with you as the director. Do you have any ideas?" (.)
