After leaving the Sixth District by helicopter, Jiang Chen returned to the Fishbone Base.
I stopped by the community center and asked Wang Qing about the reserve of supplies at the base. Then I asked Han Junhua about the frontline deployment and whether there were any new actions in the joint unified district. Finally, Jiang Chen visited the software development department where new games were being developed, then left the community center and returned to the villa.
Yao Yao is still in charge of lunch.
The little loli in an apron prepared a table full of her specialty dishes.
Whether it was the tender roasted pig's trotters or the delicious Wuchang fish, they all exuded an appetizing fragrance. Lin Ling's eyes were gleaming as she sat at the table, and she had already held the chopsticks in her hands.
Seeing that there were appetizers, Jiang Chen took out two bottles of cold beer from the refrigerator.
I drank one bottle by myself, and Xiaorou drank the other bottle. Sun Jiao's wine quality was terrible, and she was very self-aware and drank Coke as usual. As for the lovely Yao Yao, Jiang Chen prepared coconut milk from Coro Island for her, which is one of her favorite drinks.
The family was having lunch and chatting about Penglai City, which Jiang Chen built in the present world.
"A city floating on the sea? It's completely unimaginable... Can one be built here in the last days?" Sun Jiao said enviously while taking a sip of Coke.
"There were still many maritime cities before the war... but most of them sank." At the end of the sentence, Yao Yao's tone was a little nostalgic.
Yao Yao, who came from before the war, is no stranger to the concept of a maritime city, but her current life rarely allows her to recall the time before the war. The same goes for Lin Ling, who is still immersed in eating. She even participated in the design of Penglai City. She just curled her lips and licked the soup at the corner of her mouth in response to Jiang Chen's praise of Penglai City.
"It's technically possible, but it's not necessary at all. If I have the chance, I will definitely take you there to have a look." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"That's great," Sun Xiaorou sighed with some longing, holding her chin with one hand and murmuring as if in her sleep, "I just don't know when that day will come."
"There will be such a day." Jiang Chen promised.
At this moment, Lin Ling's ears twitched as if she heard something. She suddenly raised her head, tried hard to swallow the food in her mouth, looked at Jiang Chen and said.
"By the way, there's something I almost forgot to tell you."
"Have you forgotten...what happened?" Jiang Chen asked.
Her little eyebrows were raised, her red and black eyes narrowed into a slit, Lin Ling proudly puffed up her chest and dropped a bombshell on the dinner table.
"My research seems to be coming to fruition on how to carry life forms across time."
…
After lunch, no one touched the plates on the table.
Not only Jiang Chen, but also Sun Jiao, Xiaorou, and Yao Yao also squeezed into Lin Ling's laboratory, looking longingly at Lin Ling who was debugging the equipment.
"Don't look at me like that, I... I'll be nervous. Let me state it in advance. After all, it hasn't been tested yet. It should be feasible in theory, but what the reality is, we won't know until we try it." Lin Lingxiao He muttered something in a loud voice, tapped his fingers on the holographic screen, and activated several instruments placed in the laboratory, "By the way, how much storage space do you have?"
Lin Ling's question made Jiang Chen stunned for a moment. Speaking of which, he hadn't paid attention to this problem for a long time.
"It's already very big... Let me take a look." As he said that, Jiang Chen closed his eyes and sank his consciousness into the spherical universe.
This feeling is quite strange. Although it is completely dark, he can clearly feel the existence of every object inside, and can fiddle with its position through a pair of invisible "hands". The boundary of the universe is an invisible "wall" composed purely of gravity. There is no matter behind the "wall", and there is not even the concept of space.
It is very troublesome to measure the size of this space. Although he has absolute control over all matter in the space, Jiang Chen cannot feel much about the space itself.
Fortunately, with the help of those invisible "hands", Jiang Chen used conscious control to arrange the things stored in the space in a row like accumulated logs, like a crooked line passing through the center of the spherical universe.
A proud smile appeared on Jiang Chen's lips, but then his expression suddenly turned awkward.
How to measure without a ruler
After a while, Jiang Chen opened his eyes.
The operation just now made him a little dizzy. To use those invisible "hands" would require consuming the energy stored in the bracelet.
"Probably, the radius is twenty meters, uh, maybe fifteen meters... Anyway, it's as big as a small house." Jiang Chen made random gestures with his hands and said vaguely.
"How big is the little house, idiot." Lin Ling complained, sighed, held a test tube filled with unknown liquid, and came to a cylindrical instrument.
There was a small opening in the center of the cylinder, just big enough to accommodate a test tube. White mist swirled out of the small mouth, and it seemed that the temperature inside should be quite low.
"Cryogenic sleep?" Sun Xiaorou tilted her head and asked.
"Yes, and no." Lin Ling used a very ambiguous statement, inserted the test tube into the cylinder, then closed the open shell, stretched out her hand and knocked on the cylinder, "Throw this into you storage space. If it’s correct, this should work.”
"Throw the whole thing in?"
"Yes, the whole thing." Lin Ling nodded.
All the girls' eyes were focused on Jiang Chen.
Being stared at by so many eager eyes, Jiang Chen touched his nose sheepishly and put his hand on the cylinder.
In just the blink of an eye, the cylinder, which was about the height of a person, disappeared into the room.
Jiang Chen looked at Lin Ling and asked, "That's it? What next?"
Lin Ling pinched her chin and thought seriously: "Just... no, I'd better travel back to your side first, then travel back, and then spit out the storage space."
As soon as Lin Ling finished speaking, Jiang Chen disappeared into the room.
Two minutes later, he appeared in the laboratory again. He raised his hand and the cylindrical machine reappeared in the laboratory.
Yao Yao blinked in confusion, still not understanding what this experiment was all about. Sun Jiao and Xiaorou were the same, looking at Lin Ling and Jiang Chen with confusion, as well as the cylinder placed in the center of the laboratory.
Ignoring Jiang Chen, after seeing the cylinder, Lin Ling immediately stepped forward to open the device, took out the test tube that she had previously inserted into the device, took it to a microscope, and made a temporary glass slide. , and observed it under a microscope.
Within two seconds, a look of ecstasy appeared on Lin Ling's face.
"Success!"(.)
