"Of course, our company's business scope includes land reclamation and shallow water island construction." Hannah smiled.
"If I want to build an artificial island south of Ange Island near the equator, how much do you think it would cost?" Jiang Chen was intrigued.
"South of Ange Island?" Hannah paused for a second as Jiang Chen's question caught her by surprise.
"Is there a problem?" Seeing Hannah's reaction, Jiang Chen frowned.
"If I remember correctly, the area south of Ange Island should be deep sea. Artificial islands are usually built in shallow water or based on natural reefs. Building an island in deep water would require an astronomical amount of sand and stones, "Hannah explained.
"Can't we build a floating island? Like a giant aircraft carrier. "Jiang Chen didn't want to give up.
"Floating?" Hannah laughed and shook her head. "Then wouldn't it be washed away by a wave?"
"Then we can use steel ropes to anchor the floating island to the bottom of the sea, like an anchor," Jiang Chen said.
Hannah shook her head again. "Impossible. If it's a small island, no steel rope can withstand the terrifying pulling force. Also, even if there is such a steel rope, the material of the island itself is a problem. Just like a square kilometer of steel on the surface of the water, it would be torn apart by the tides in less than a year. Unless you use titanium alloy to build the island, I can't think of a better material. "
Titanium alloy was 42% lighter than iron, but its mechanical strength was double that of pure iron. From an objective point of view, titanium alloy was the ideal material for building a floating island, but the cost …
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen let out a sigh.
"Okay, looks like I'll have to think about it."
"I'm sorry I can't help you with anything," Hannah said apologetically.
Although BMA said they couldn't do anything, Jiang Chen didn't give up. What couldn't be done in the modern world might not be a problem in the apocalypse.
After sending Hannah out, Jiang Chen returned to the gym. His discussion with Xia Shiyu about the virtual reality helmet was interrupted midway, so it was the perfect time to continue.
But when he entered the door, he saw Xia Shiyu lying on the lounge chair with the helmet on.
Jiang Chen didn't wake her up but gently closed the door for her.
"Aren't you going to take the opportunity to do something?"
Ayesha walked behind him and gently hugged him.
"I'm not a pervert." Jiang Chen sweated.
When wearing the virtual reality helmet, the five senses of the outside world were blocked. Unless the user's surroundings were hot or there was an obvious displacement, the safety mechanism would not be triggered. This was also the reason why he had to wear the helmet in his personal space. If he wore it in public, he wouldn't even know that he was being perverted …
"I didn't say it's for her." Ayesha's mouth curved up.
Jiang Chen paused for a moment, then he turned around and carried Ayesha on his shoulder while she was still moaning.
"Oh? You're getting more and more naughty, trying to trick me. "Jiang Chen" viciously "slapped her butt, making a" pa "sound.
"Hmm ~"
Ayesha struggled to lift her leg in the air. Feeling the sturdy arm, she let out a soft moan. She turned her head and looked at Jiang Chen with innocent eyes. "I just … want to help you, and her."
Because of the movement of the shoulder, the cool sensation swept across his face from time to time. For a moment, Jiang Chen's mind was in turmoil.
"Oh? How do you want to help? "Jiang Chen smirked.
"I told her … tonight, I'll let you have her," Ayesha said timidly. Her eyes drifted to the gym from time to time, afraid that Xia Shiyu would wake up from her deep sleep and see her in this embarrassing state.
Although she could break free from Jiang Chen's grip, the concept of resistance didn't exist in her mind …
[Phew!] When Jiang Chen heard Ayesha's words, he was speechless.
[How is this helping? It's more of a hindrance.]
"Can you put me down? Do this when no one is around …" Ayesha begged in a small voice.
"No, I plan to punish you."
Jiang Chen smiled evilly and ignored her begging. Without another word, he carried Ayesha into the gym.
Since he was teaching by example, he had to punish the "student" in front of others, right? Xia Shiyu wouldn't wake up in a short period of time.
[It's just a bit exciting.]
[Speaking of which, where is the jump rope in the gym?] [I've never used it before. Looks like I'll have to look for it.]
(Don't get me wrong. Jumping rope is not against the rules.)
…
Time passed quickly in the game. Although she wasn't interested in the game and her understanding of it was limited to the level of work, Xia Shiyu was still deeply attracted by the dream-like realism.
The dwarf blacksmith in the blacksmith shop came from the Doomsday Mountains and was once a guard under the command of the Dwarf King. The beggar on the street corner was once a brave sailor who sailed with the kingdom's fleet to the distant Horn Bay. The adventurer who boasted about slaying dragons in the tavern was actually just a crippled farmer. He tried to hit on Xia Shiyu but was mercilessly rejected. He ran away in the ridicule of the entire tavern.
[This world seems to be alive …]
Perhaps because of her personality, she chose the profession known as a rigorous magician. But after registering an account, she didn't immediately do missions, nor was she in a hurry to explore the wilderness. Instead, she strolled around the city as a "tourist".
Other than the seemingly alive NPCs, what made Xia Shiyu feel the most was that in this world, she didn't need glasses to clearly see the world.
[It makes sense since these images don't go through the retina.]
[This means that even a disabled person can live like a normal person in this virtual world …] Xia Shiyu looked at the swaying grass and smelled the fragrance of the flowers as she exclaimed.
Seeing that it was getting late, she reached out her finger and clicked the exit button.
Xia Shiyu took off the helmet, stretched lazily, and sat up from the recliner. She felt unprecedentedly refreshed as if she just took a short nap.
But at this moment, she sniffed and frowned slightly.
She felt that there was a faintly discernible smell in the air, but she couldn't tell what it was. She just felt that her heart was beating faster when she smelled it.
"Is it an illusion?" She muttered as she put the helmet on the server and walked out the door.
In the hallway, she coincidentally bumped into Ayesha who was holding an air freshener in her hand.
For some reason, the girl's face turned red as she hid the air freshener behind her. She didn't say anything as she quickly walked past her with her head down.
[Strange?]
Xia Shiyu tilted her head slightly, but then she shook her head and threw the suspicion to the back of her head.
[Whatever, I still have business to discuss with Jiang Chen …]
