After receiving the money, Wu Yue didn't stay there for long. After chatting with Jiang Chen for a while, he bid farewell.
After Wu Yue left, Jiang Chen asked Jiang Lin to pack up the engine and reverse engineer the design drawings. Then he would send the prototype along with the drawings to the warehouse in the backyard of his mansion. After explaining everything, he pulled Jiang Lin to the side and took out a piece of paper that was folded into a square from his pocket.
The main purpose of his visit to the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute was not to look at the spacecraft, but to ask Jiang Lin to design a piece of equipment, or a weapon.
Jiang Lin took the blueprint from Jiang Chen's hand and frowned. He tilted his neck and rubbed his chin for a long time, but he didn't come to a conclusion.
Jiang Chen saw that he didn't respond for a long time, so he impatiently urged him.
"What do you think? Are you confident? "
"I'm confident, but Wanghai is full of these things. The closer we go to the city center, the more …" Jiang Lin returned the sketch to Jiang Chen and asked. "But what's the use of this thing?"
Jiang Chen slapped his head. He almost forgot about this. Weren't the steel prisms inserted into the concrete ground NATO's orbital paratroopers? There was no need for the three views he got from Future Technology's modeler in the game.
Yes, the prism-shaped iron box on the sketch in his hand was exactly the parachute that he planned to equip his "Space Defense Force". According to his idea, using this "iron box" that could be directly thrown from the geosynchronous orbit to the surface, his orbital paratroopers could directly depart from Celestial City and be deployed to any location on Earth in just one hour.
"You don't have to worry about the use of it. It will be useful in my hands." Jiang Chen, as usual, brushed off the matter.
Since the general said so, Jiang Lin naturally wouldn't ask for the truth out of curiosity.
He nodded his head and accepted the task. He said that he would be able to submit the prototype and the blueprints in half a month at the latest.
As for the sketch, Jiang Chen already crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the trash can. Since there were ready-made things to learn from, there was naturally no need to design according to his sketch. He could just pick up two airdrop pods that had not been melted down from the city center ruins and reverse engineer it.
After leaving the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute, Jiang Chen walked around the Fishbone base. Although it was an inspection, he was actually looking around.
It had been almost four years, and the base seemed to change every year. There were some places that he couldn't even recognize.
The wall that was once drenched in mutants' blood was now torn down and moved two streets away. If it was ten kilometers further north, it would be near the edge of the Sixth Street. The sewer connecting the Sixth Street and the Fishbone base was widened and even installed with a magnetic track to create a simple city rapid transit.
According to Chu Nan's plan, if the Holy Shield system was successfully repaired, perhaps in another five or six years, the Sixth Street and the Fishbone base would merge together.
According to his words, the quality of the houses in the suburbs of Wanghai was not bad. It would be a pity if they were abandoned. Since the mutants and zombies were removed, it would be more cost-effective to reuse than to demolish and rebuild.
While walking, Jiang Chen allowed his thoughts to drift away, thinking about what the base was missing.
What was missing?
It seemed that there was nothing missing.
The newly built Garden of Eden No. 2 and No. 3 also began to be put into production. Not only vegetables and fruits, but also cloned pigs, cows, and sheep were also being raised. With the cane sugar and canned mud crab roe imported from Yizhou, food was no longer a rarity in Wanghai. Even the people living in the Outer Circle could taste two bites of meat every week.
It was precisely because of this that his personal prestige was almost at the level of a legend.
On this wasteland, whoever could provide food, clothing, and a safe place for people to live would be the well-deserved savior and would gain the support of everyone. It was no exaggeration to say that even without the "Citizen Rank", "Knight Medal", and "Collar of Honor", no one would stand up against him.
Jiang Chen wandered all the way to the door, but he still couldn't remember what the base was missing.
While he was pleased with the ability of his subordinates, he couldn't help but feel a little lonely. Although he was happy to be a hands-off shopkeeper and leave all the troublesome matters to his subordinates, when his subordinates all grew up, he realized that he could not help them at all.
Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile, threw these sentimental thoughts to the back of his head, and pushed open the door of the mansion.
In any case, it was a good thing. Worrying over a good thing was purely a form of boredom.
…
The next day, the engineering team deployed behind the wall of the mansion and began to construct the research institute according to Jiang Chen's requirements. The foundation was ready-made, and the building didn't need to be very high. With the construction speed of the Fishbone base's engineering team, it could be completed in at most two weeks.
These days, Jiang Chen walked around during the day to make his presence known in the base. At night, he returned to the mansion, fed the two annoying kittens, and indulged in the tenderness of the sisters.
Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half a week had passed.
Just like the artificial intelligence said, Lin Yi's learning ability was really strong. In just a few days, she had learned to dress herself, eat by herself, go to the bathroom and take a bath by herself, and knew that she had to dry her hair before going to bed. These were all common sense in life.
There was one thing that the artificial intelligence didn't say accurately, which was that she actually knew these things.
For example, clothes, chopsticks, towels, since she could name them, of course, it was impossible that she didn't know what they were used for. It was just that these things were stored in her brain as "knowledge" and not as a habit written in her body.
After all, it was at most two to three weeks from the embryos to their current state. Not to mention a proper childhood, Jiang Chen even suspected that they didn't even have a few days of normal life. As soon as they came out of the culture tank, they were put into the hibernation chamber and instilled knowledge in a deep sleep state.
On the other hand, Lin Yi's attitude also changed a lot. From the initial rejection, to the estrangement, and now, she was almost used to this younger sister of hers that she got for free.
Although the two looked like they were carved from the same mold, it was still easy to distinguish them. For example, Lin Yi, as a digitalized human, had a pair of red and black eyes, unbelievably white skin, and elf-like silver hair.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, had standard black hair. Although her skin was fair, it was the whiteness of an Asian, not as exaggerated as Lin Yi's.
In order to make the difference more obvious, Lin Yi also domineeringly ordered Lin Yi not to have the same hair as her and not to wear the same clothes … although she didn't have the same clothes to wear.
The strange thing was that other than the first time Lin Yi met Jiang Chen, she listened to Lin Yi the most in this mansion. Although it wasn't to the extent that she listened to everything, it was close. She followed Lin Yi like a little follower all day long.
So much so that one day, she also discovered a special ability – to communicate with Lin Yi through consciousness.
This feeling was very mysterious, and even Lin Yi herself didn't understand it. It was like two people didn't say a word, didn't even look at each other, and even stood in two different rooms. However, after entering a certain state, they could understand each other's thoughts.
This state was quite unstable. Lin Lin herself didn't figure out what was going on, and she made a lot of jokes because of it.
Whether it was Jiang Chen or Lin Lin herself, they couldn't tell whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, and they couldn't tell what would happen after the remaining 1999 clones woke up.
But in any case, this was an incredible discovery.
