The reinforcements of the Guardian Sect were undoubtedly good news for the Second Division fighting on the front line, especially after they learned that the Northern Alliance Area and the Helmet Tribe were working together. After repeating the details of the covenant to Han Junhua, Jiang Chen ended the holographic conference.
In the evening, Jiang Chen returned to the mansion with Sun Jiao and Sun Xiaorou.
When they pushed open the door, Yaoyao had already put a sumptuous and delicious meal on the table. As for Lin Lin, she couldn't wait to sit at the table.
Responding to the little loli's expectant gaze, Jiang Chen rubbed Yaoyao's soft hair affectionately, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and returned to the table.
The roasted tender red pig's trotters glistened with delicious oil, and the tender green vegetable leaves looked like they just came out of the water. It could be seen that Yaoyao's cooking skills had improved a lot. If it weren't for the limited ingredients, she might be better than Ayesha.
The haze on the front line didn't affect the family's dinner. After enjoying this sumptuous dinner, Jiang Chen and the girls cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen.
After Yaoyao went to sleep, Jiang Chen came to the study on the top floor of the mansion. He looked at Sun Jiao waiting by the window, and a smile appeared on his face. He turned his hand and took out a bottle of aged red wine and two wine glasses, then walked toward the beautiful figure.
Through the reflection on the window glass, she noticed Jiang Chen when he stepped through the door.
However, she didn't turn around, but smiled at the reflection on the glass and gently blew out a white mist.
"How did you know I was here?"
"I guessed." Jiang Chen walked behind her, put the wine glass and bottle on the windowsill, put his arm around her waist, and joked, "Beautiful lady, can I have the honor to buy you a drink?"
Sun Jiao charmingly rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen and lazily leaned into his arms.
"I heard that there was a profession called bartender before the war. By mixing two different wines together, it creates a blissful taste." She naughtily bit Jiang Chen's ear and said in a coquettish tone, "I want to drink that."
Jiang Chen made a helpless expression and took out a bottle of whiskey, a bottle of brandy, and a bottle of wine he didn't know the name of. He then placed a mixer on the windowsill.
"I've only seen … I mean, I can give it a try."
Amused by Jiang Chen's expression, Sun Jiao smiled and signaled him to continue.
Jiang Chen poured a little bit of each of the three bottles into a glass. Then, he poured two glasses for Sun Jiao and himself and gestured for them to drink.
"Try it?"
Sun Jiao picked up the glass and took a sip. Before he could savor the taste on the tip of his tongue, he was choked by the smell of alcohol, causing him to cough violently.
"Ahem –! How is this wine? It's as spicy as chili water … "
"Eh? Really? " Jiang Chen glanced at his glass. In the end, he didn't make up his mind to try it and put the glass on the windowsill.
After a while, Sun Jiao finally calmed down. She rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen and put the glass back on the windowsill.
Jiang Chen awkwardly scratched his nose and coughed.
"It was just an accident. Do you want to try something else?"
"No! I'll just have a glass of wine … "
The wind howled outside the window. Looking out from here, the lights in the base seemed to be covered by a thin veil. The two of them leaned against the window and chatted while tasting the fine wine that they brought from the Modern World. They were spending their leisure time.
"The snow is getting heavier …" Sun Jiao abruptly said as she stared at the snow outside the window.
"That's right." Jiang Chen sighed with deep emotion.
Sun Jiao seemed to have thought of something as she gently bit her lips and hesitantly said.
"If … if one day, this place is no longer suitable for people to live-"
"At that time, I will take you to the other world to live." Jiang Chen interrupted Sun Jiao's melancholy words and hugged her in his arms.
A rare hint of weakness appeared on Sun Jiao's face. She buried her head and whispered, "You won't leave me behind?"
Jiang Chen laughed. "How is that possible."
Sun Jiao pursed her lips as happiness like that of a little girl appeared on her face. Although she knew he would answer this way, no matter how many times she heard it, she still felt warm in her heart.
"Really?"
He caressed her hair and felt the warmth through her hair. Jiang Chen solemnly said, "Of course."
"Mhmm …"
The soft murmur gradually faded away with the cold wind of the winter night.
…
The next morning, the snow stopped for a bit.
Jiang Chen got up early and put on his clothes. He gently kissed Sun Jiao's sleeping face before heading to the community center. When he arrived at the general's office, the staff gave him last night's battle report.
Jiang Chen sat at the table with a cup of coffee in his hand and carefully read the battle report.
The battle at the front line was still ongoing. Last night, under the cover of the night, the mutated humans launched continuous and fierce attacks on multiple NAC lines of defense at the same time. Under the charge of these fearless cannon fodder, they almost tore a hole in the Second Army's line of defense.
But they failed to do so in the end.
The only good news was that a Hunter Corps Stalker found the back of a Wanderer tank that was being resupplied, loaded a tactical nuclear bomb to the bottom of the tank, ran a kilometer away, pressed the button, and directly blew the Wanderer into the sky!
This kind of pre-war equipment that was difficult to be replicated was one less tank destroyed. This was the first Wanderer destroyed by the NAC since the beginning of the war!
Jiang Chen immediately made an annotation at the bottom of the battle report. He would personally award the Knight Medal and reward the warrior with 10,000 credits.
After dealing with the military affairs at hand, Jiang Chen saw that it was still early, so he went to the warehouse in the backyard of the mansion. He threw the Stingray X-1 prototype and the backup USB with related technical information into the storage dimension and temporarily returned to the modern world.
The asteroid capture plan and the space elevator had entered the final stage, but Celestial Trade's Space Launch Center still failed to design an aircraft suitable for outer space. The Stingray X-1 provided by the Guardian Sect. For the Space Launch Center's technical department that was still debating whether to use working fluid propulsion or non-working fluid propulsion, it was undoubtedly a timely gift.
Not to mention the high-temperature and pressure-resistant material used in the shell, just the pulse engine of this aerospaceplane was an epoch-making technology in the modern world. Traditional jet engines were not suitable for interstellar navigation, and the more advanced pulse engine was the future choice.
Jiang Chen didn't expect the factory in the Ange Island Industrial Park to achieve large-scale production of the Stingray X-1 once he brought the blueprint to the modern world. But at least with the help of industrial-grade 3D printers, it would be good to copy a few prototypes for emergencies.
In addition, drawing the necessary technology from the Stingray X-1 and independently developing and producing a transport spacecraft between the Earth and the Moon was also a crucial link for Celestial Trade's planetary colonization plan. Although it was now possible to rely on transport rockets to deliver supplies to the Moon, it was undoubtedly an inefficient choice to use such a low-reusable means of transportation.
After completing these tasks, Jiang Chen returned to the apocalypse in the evening.
However, before he could steady his feet, a piece of good news came from Camp 27!
It was no exaggeration to say that if nothing unexpected happened, this technical problem that was suddenly solved would completely change the direction of the war …
