Chapter 995: Divine Friendship?
After getting the money, Wu Yue didn't stay here for long. He smiled and exchanged greetings with Jiang Chen before leaving.
After Wu Yue left, Jiang Chen asked Jiang Lin to pack up the engine first, follow the old rules and reverse engineer the design drawings, and then send the prototype and drawings to the warehouse in the backyard of his villa. After explaining these things, he pulled Jiang Lin aside and took out a square drawing from his pocket.
This time he came to the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology not mainly to see the spacecraft, but to ask Jiang Lin to help design a piece of equipment, or a weapon.
Taking the drawing from Jiang Chen's hand, Jiang Lin frowned, tilted his neck and touched his chin to look at it for a long time, but did not come to a conclusion.
Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Jiang Chen urged him angrily.
"How's it going? Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, I'm sure. Wanghai City is full of these things. The closer you go to the city center, the more..." Jiang Lin returned the sketch to Jiang Chen and couldn't help but ask. "But what's the use of this thing?"
Jiang Chen slapped his head, and he almost forgot about this. Aren’t those steel prisms inserted into the cement floor the slow-drop missiles used by NATO’s orbital airborne troops? Where else could he use the three-dimensional view that a modeler from Futureman Technology had taken from the game?
Yes, the pyramid-shaped iron box drawn on the sketch in his hand is exactly the slow-drop device he plans to install for his "air and space defense force." According to his idea, using this "iron box" that can be thrown directly from synchronous orbit to the surface, his orbital airborne troops will be able to set off directly from Halo City and deploy anywhere on the earth in just one hour. .
"Don't worry about it if it's of any use. It will be of use to me if it's in my hands." Jiang Chen laughed, and as usual, he got rid of this matter.
Seeing that the marshal had said this, Jiang Lin naturally would not break the casserole and ask the truth just for a little curiosity.
With a simple nod, he took over the task, saying that he would be able to hand over the prototype and drawings in half a month at the latest.
As for the sketch, Jiang Chen had crumpled it into a ball of paper and thrown it into the trash can. Since there are ready-made things to learn from, there is no need to design according to his sketch. Just pick up two airdrop pods that have not yet been refurbished from the ruins of the city center and reverse engineer them.
After leaving the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology, Jiang Chen walked around the Fish Bone Base. It was called inspection work, but in fact it was just looking around.
It has been almost four years, and this base almost looks new every year.
In some places he didn't even recognize it.
Just say that the section of wall that was once covered with alien blood has been demolished and moved two streets away. If you go more than ten kilometers north, it will be almost next to the edge of the Sixth Street District. There is also the sewer connecting the Sixth Block and the Fishbone Base. It has been widened and even laid with a magnetic track, creating a simple urban rapid transit.
According to Chu Nan's plan, if the Holy Shield system is successfully repaired, maybe in another five or six years of development, the Sixth Block will have to be merged with the Fishbone Base.
According to what he said, the quality of the houses in the suburbs of Wanghai City was okay. It was a pity that they were abandoned like this. Since the alien species and zombies have been eliminated, it is more cost-effective to reuse them than to demolish them and rebuild them.
As he walked, Jiang Chen let his thoughts drift away, thinking about what this base still lacked.
What's missing?
Nothing seems missing.
The newly built Eden Gardens No. 2 and No. 3 have also begun to put into production. Not only vegetables and fruits, but also cloned pigs, cows, and sheep have begun to be raised. Together with the canned sugar and canned mud crab roe imported from Yizhou, the food is no longer considered a rarity in Wanghai City. Even the grassroots people living in the outer circle can taste two bites of meat every week.
It is precisely because of this that his personal prestige is almost as high as a myth.
In this wasteland, whoever can provide people with enough food, clothing, and a safe home is the worthy savior, and whoever can win the support of everyone. It is no exaggeration to say that even if there is no such thing as "civilian rank", "knight medal" and "honorary collar", it is impossible for anyone to stand up against him.
When Jiang Chen arrived at the door of his house, he didn't even think of what else was missing in the base.
Although he was pleased that his subordinates were capable, he could not help but feel a little lonely in his heart. Although he was happy to be a hands-off shopkeeper and throw all the troubles to his subordinates, he found that he was completely unable to help when all his subordinates had grown up.
Smiling and shaking his head, Jiang Chen put these pretentious thoughts behind his mind and opened the door of the villa.
Anyway, this is a good thing. Worrying about good things is just to stay bored after being full.
…
The next day, the engineering team was deployed behind the villa's courtyard wall and began construction of the research institute in accordance with Jiang Chen's requirements. Everything about the foundation is ready-made, and the building doesn't need to be built very high. With the construction speed of the Fish Bone Base Engineering Team, it can be completed in two weeks at the latest.
These days, Jiang Chen just walks around and looks around during the day to make his presence felt in the base. In the evening, I returned to the villa, fed the two annoying kittens, and indulged in the gentleness of the sisters.
Time flies so fast, half a week has passed in the blink of an eye.
As the artificial intelligence said, Lin Yi's learning ability is really strong. In just a few days, she has learned to dress by herself, eat by herself, go to the toilet and bathe by herself, know how to dry her hair before going to bed and other common sense in life.
One thing that the artificial intelligence did not say accurately was that she actually knew all these things.
Since she could name things like clothes, chopsticks, and towels, of course it was impossible not to know what they were used for. However, these things are stored in her mind as "knowledge" rather than as a habit written in her body.
After all, it only takes two or three weeks at most to develop from an embryo to its current form. Not to mention having a serious childhood, Jiang Chen even suspected that they had never lived a normal life for a few days. They were put into a dormant chamber to lie down in a deep sleep state as soon as they came out of the culture tank. instill.
On the other hand, Lin Ling's attitude also changed a lot. From the initial rejection, to the alienation, now she is almost used to this cheap sister.
Although the two look like they are carved from the same mold, they are still easy to distinguish. For example, Lin Ling, who is a cyborg, has two eyes of different colors, one red and one black, her skin is ridiculously white, and she is paired with an elf-like silver hair.
And this Lin Yi has standard black hair. Although her skin is fair, it is fair to the level of a yellow race person, not as exaggerated as Lin Ling.
In order to make the difference more obvious, Lin Ling ordered Lin Yi very domineeringly, not allowing her to have the same hair as herself, and not to wear the same clothes... although there were no same clothes for her to wear.
The strange thing is that, except for Jiang Chen, whom she met for the first time, Lin Yi actually listens to Lin Ling the most in this villa. Although she is not obedient, she is close to it. She follows Lin Ling like a little follower all day long. Ling's back.
So much so that one day, she also discovered a special function - communicating consciously with Lin Yi.
This feeling was so mysterious that even Lin Ling herself didn't understand it. It's as if the two people didn't say a word, didn't even look at each other, or even stood in two different rooms, but after entering a certain state, they could understand what each other was thinking.
This state was quite unstable. Lin Ling herself didn't figure out what was going on, and she made a lot of jokes because of it.
Neither Jiang Chen nor Lin Ling could say whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, nor could they say what it would be like after the remaining 1999 clones woke up.
Regardless, this is an incredible discovery. (To be continued.):
