To be honest, he didn't know how to face Sun Xiaorou's initiative.

But thinking that if he didn't say anything, it 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 it wasn't you who coerced her?" Sun Jiaohu looked at Jiang Chen suspiciously.

"Am I that kind of person!" Jiang Chen said with a smile and a smile.

However, as soon as he said it, he realized that he did not seem to be convincing at all. Sun Xiaorou's first time was taken by him, although he didn't know it at the time, she was the first time.

"Then what are you going to do to Xiaorou?" Sun Jiao looked at Jiang Chen with a smile.

"I don't know. Jiang Chen said with some shame.

Sun Jiao seemed to expect Jiang Chen to answer like this, and sighed.

"If you want me to reject her, I can—"

"No, you're mistaken. Contrary to Jiang Chen's expectations, Sun Jiao shook her head.

"Huh?" Jiang Chen looked at Sun Jiao's eyes in confusion.

"If she" Sun Jiao bit her lower lip unspeakably.

"What if?" Because he couldn't hear, Jiang Chen leaned his ear over.

"Forget it, ahhh

At the dining table, Lin Ling was as lively as ever, chewing heavily and vaguely arguing with Sun Jiao. Sun Xiaorou's seat was arranged directly opposite Jiang Chen, the first time she had tasted such a delicacy, and she was full of praise for Yao Yao's craftsmanship. Yao Yao, who was praised, smiled shyly as always. Two little feet happily dangled under the table.

Originally, Jiang Chen was worried that because of the kiss at the door just now, there would be some embarrassment between him and Sun Xiaorou. But now it seems that he is purely thinking too much.

It's just that at the moment when I met her eyes by chance. Jiang Chen could read a meaningful smile in her eyes

After dinner, Jiang Chen went to Jiang Lin's laboratory.

Standing at the door and knocking on the door, seeing that the door was not open, Jiang Chen stood at the door and paused for a moment, and then took out the EP.

"Is it at the rocket test site?" Looking at the bright spot on the map, Jiang Chen muttered to himself.

Thanks to the chip's positioning function, he can grasp the position of each knight. Of course, for reasons such as respecting personal privacy, he rarely uses this function when it is not necessary.

Jiang Lin's location was determined. Jiang Chen turned around and walked towards the target.

Rocket test site.

Although the name should sound high-end, it is actually a vacant lot surrounded by concrete walls. There are two tables in the open space, a workbench with electronic parts and a chemistry lab bench with bottles and cans. In addition to these two tables, there were also stacks of machinery and equipment he had brought from the former prosthetic leg boutique, as well as scrap parts that Jiang Chen had bought with money.

Jiang Chen had promised Jiang Lin that as long as he completed the task assigned to him, he would fund his dream and help him develop that warp engine or something. Now the production line of the K1 mechanical exoskeleton has been completed, and the high-imitation Beifeng-76 ballistic missile has also been completed. Naturally, he had time to tinker with his ideals.

"This is the warp engine?" Jiang Chen teased as he looked at the large vortex engine he was tinkering with.

Without looking back, he flipped the wrench in his hand, and Jiang Lin wiped the sweat on his forehead. Grinned.

"Far from it. This thing is just a simple working propulsion engine, let alone warp speed, and it can't even cross the threshold of non-working fluid. ”

"I thought you figured it out. Jiang Chen said.

"I thought I was going to get it out. Jiang Lin sighed.

In fact, when Jiang Chen occupied Vault 27 at the beginning. Jiang Lin applied to Wang Qing for a scientific research project. No, not strictly speaking, it's not a research project. He just sent a concept map of the "warp engine" to an expert in the aerospace field, wanting to verify the feasibility of his conjecture.

The answer, however, was hopeless. The expert used various professional knowledge and theories to criticize his concept map as useless. Jiang Lin didn't give up, he even took the time to go to Camp 27 in person and confront the aerospace expert in person.

The result was still desperate. Seeing that he didn't believe him, the astronaut personally demonstrated to him with a quantum computer how ridiculous the technical mistakes of the warp engine he proposed were.

It's like a junior high school student who thinks on a whim that he has discovered the mystery of a perpetual motion machine, and then uses his existing knowledge to draw a drawing that he thinks is flawless, and presents it to a physics teacher with a college degree.

It is undeniable that this spirit of questioning is worth advocating. But before science, there is only one truth.

After listening to Jiang Lin's story, Jiang Chen was silent for a moment and comforted softly.

"At least you've proven that a path doesn't work. ”

"However, it is not that I proved it, in 2091 someone proved that my design idea was wrong, and in the next 80 years, people will prove hundreds of wrong ideas, but I don't know it. Smiling self-deprecatingly, he dropped the wrench in his hand into the toolbox and took out a welding gun.

"Frustrated?" Looking at the flickering electric sparks, Jiang Chen asked casually.

"No, I wouldn't have done it again. With a grin, Jiang Lin stood up and reached out to pat the stuff he had been tinkering with for almost a week.

Walking to his side, Jiang Chen looked at the three-person-tall iron bump.

"What is this?"

"RM-320 rocket engine high imitation plus reduced version. Looking at this artwork that he had completed by himself, Jiang Lin's face couldn't help but show a proud expression, "Although it is a technology at the end of the 21st century, don't you think it is like a work of art?"

"Technology at the end of the 21st century?"

"That's right. According to the space expert, working fluid propulsion rocket technology was phased out at the end of the 21st century. Space elevators can easily get a vehicle from the ground to a synchronous orbit. Vehicles that have reached synchronous orbit are then propelled by non-working engines to the Moon, or Mars, or beyond. As he spoke, Jiang Lin grinned at Jiang Chen.

"Are you planning to start from the very basics?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Still, it's useful for him. Jiang Chen doesn't care whether it is working or non-working, it is a proper black technology in the present world. Or if you don't put it in the present world, even if you stay in the last days, you can use it as a ballistic missile thruster.

"You can think so. Jiang Lin shrugged.

"How much does this rocket engine cost?" Jiang Chen asked casually.

"Counting the cost of solid fuel, a total of 20,000 subcrystals. ”

"Good guys, such a rocket engine would have to eat up the military expenses of 1,000 people. Jiang Chen scolded with a smile.

Seeing that Jiang Chen did not have a distressed expression on his face, Jiang Lin also smiled and did not answer.

After a pause, Jiang Chen glanced at the rocket engine in front of him again, and said abruptly.

"I intend to formally establish the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology, with you as the director. I don't know if you have any ideas?" )
