Chapter 402 Another Usage of Skipping Rope
"Of course, our company's business scope includes land reclamation and shallow sea island building projects." Hannah smiled.
"If I want to build an artificial island in the south of Anga Island near the equator, how much do you estimate it will cost?" Jiang Chen asked with interest.
"South of Anga Island?" Hannah was obviously taken aback, Jiang Chen's question was beyond her expectation.
"Is there any problem?" Seeing Hannah's reaction, Jiang Chen frowned.
"If I remember correctly, the sea area south of Anga Island should be deep sea. Artificial islands are generally built in shallow seas, or are also based on natural reefs. The sand and stone needed to build islands in deep seas will be astronomical." Han Na explained.
"Isn't it okay to build a floating island? It's like a giant aircraft carrier." Jiang Chen asked unwillingly.
"Floating?" Hannah smiled and shook her head, "Didn't that wave just blow away?"
"Then use something like a steel rope to fix the floating island to the bottom of the sea, just like a ship's anchor." Jiang Chen asked.
Hannah shook her head again, "Impossible. If it is a small island, there is no steel cable that can withstand such a terrible pulling force. In addition, even if there is such a steel cable, the material of the island itself is also a problem. It is as if A square kilometer of steel plate dropped on the water will be torn apart by tidal forces in less than a year. Unless you make the island out of titanium alloy, I can’t think of a more suitable material.”
Titanium alloy is 42% lighter than iron, but its mechanical strength is twice that of pure iron. From an objective point of view, titanium alloy is indeed an ideal material for building floating islands, but the cost...
After pondering for a while, Jiang Chen sighed and said.
"Okay. It seems that this matter has to be considered again."
"I'm sorry I can't help you much," Hannah said apologetically.
Although bma said it could do nothing, Jiang Chen did not give up. It cannot be done in this world. In the last days, it may not be difficult.
After sending Hanna out, Jiang Chen returned to the gym. The discussion with Xia Shiyu about the virtual helmet was interrupted in the middle of the discussion, and now it is just continuing.
But when he entered, he saw Xia Shiyu lying on the recliner wearing a helmet.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen didn't wake her up, but gently closed the door for her.
"Don't you take the opportunity to do something?"
I don't know when,
Aisha came up behind him, stretched out her arms and hugged him gently.
"I'm not a pervert." Jiang Chen said with shame.
When wearing a virtual helmet, the five external senses are closed, unless the environment around the user experiences high temperature or significant displacement. Otherwise, the security mechanism will not be triggered. This is exactly why you must wear a helmet in private space, even if you wear it in public, you won’t know it even if you are caught by a pig...
"I didn't mean it to her." Ayesha slightly bent her lips.
Jiang Chen was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head, picked Aisha up in his arms as he whispered softly, and then put her on his shoulders.
"Yo? You're getting more and more mischievous, you dare to talk to me." Jiang Chen reached out his hand "viciously" and patted that hip/buttocks, making a "pop" sound.
"Well~"
Struggling to raise her dangling calf, feeling the strong arm, Aisha let out a soft sigh from her throat. Turn your head away. She looked at Jiang Chen with innocent eyes, "I just... want to help you, and her."
Because of the twisting of that shoulder, the cool touch swept over his side face from time to time. For a while, Jiang Chen was a little distracted.
"Oh? What kind of help do you think?" Jiang Chen smirked.
"I told her...tonight, I'll leave it to you." Aisha said timidly, her eyes wandering to the gym from time to time. I was afraid that Xia Shiyu would wake up from a deep sleep and see the embarrassment in her body at this moment.
Although it is not impossible to break free from Jiang Chen's shackles. But the concept of rebellion does not exist in her conception...
sweat! After hearing Ayesha's words, Jiang Chen's face was covered with black lines.
Where is this helpful. It's just a disservice.
"Can you let me down, can I be like this when no one is around..." Aisha asked in a low voice.
"No, I'm going to punish you."
Jiang Chen smiled evilly, ignored her begging for mercy, and carried Aisha into the gym without saying a word.
As the saying goes, teaching by precepts and deeds, corporal punishment of "students" naturally has to be in front of others, isn't it? Anyway, in a short time, Xia Shiyu shouldn't be able to wake up.
It's just a little exciting.
Speaking of which, where is the skipping rope in the gym? Never used it, looks like I'll have to look for it.
(Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a foul to skip a rope.)
…
Time flies by in the game, although usually he is not interested in the game, and his understanding is only limited to the level of work needs, but Xia Shiyu is still deeply attracted by the dreamlike sense of reality.
The dwarf blacksmith in the blacksmith shop came from the Doom Mountains and was once a guard under the command of the dwarf king. The beggar on the corner of the street was once a heroic sailor who sailed with the kingdom's fleet to the distant Horn Bay. The adventurer who boasted about his great achievements in slaying dragons in the tavern was actually just a lame farmer. He approached Xia Shiyu, but was ruthlessly rejected, and fled amidst the ridicule of the entire tavern.
The world seems to be alive...
Perhaps because of her personality, she chose a career as a magician known for her rigor. However, after registering an account, she didn't immediately go to do the task or rush to explore the wilderness, but started to walk around the city as a "tourist".
Except for those npcs who seem to be alive, Xia Shiyu is most moved by the fact that in this world, she can clearly see the world without the help of glasses.
Presumably, after all, these images do not pass through the retina at all.
In this way, even disabled people can live like normal people in this virtual world... Looking at the swaying plants and trees, and sniffing the fragrance of flowers at the tip of her nose, Xia Shiyu said with emotion .
Seeing that it was getting late, she stretched out her finger and clicked the exit button.
Taking off the helmet, Xia Shiyu stretched lazily and sat up from the reclining chair. The spirit is unprecedentedly refreshed, as if taking a short nap.
But at this moment, she sniffed and frowned slightly.
She always felt that there was a strange smell in the air, but she couldn't smell it for a while, but she just felt that her heart beat faster.
"Illusion?" Muttering, she put the helmet on the shell of the server and walked out the door.
In the corridor, she happened to bump into Aisha who was holding an air freshener in her hand.
For some reason, the girl's face turned red, she hid the air freshener behind her back, and walked quickly past her with her head buried without saying a word.
strangeness?
Xia Shiyu tilted her head slightly, but then shook her head and put the suspicion behind her.
Forget it, there is still business to discuss with Jiang Chen... (To be continued.)
