The daily life of American TV agents

Chapter 550 Scientific Research and Trains

"It's really quiet without Sheldon~" Howard stretched comfortably on the chair: "Can I ask how much you paid for that thing?"

"It's four thousand dollars, but every penny is worth it. This money will allow us to gain at least a month of peace, or even longer." Leonard said proudly.

As soon as the voice fell, the door of the laboratory opened, and Ron walked in. The three of Leonard stood up happily: "Ron, why are you here?"

"I'm here to see the progress of the super battery, how is it going now?"

"Very well, we have developed a cooling solution that can shrink the size of the prototype battery to the target specification, how about it? Isn't this solution very cool (COOL has multiple meanings in English)."

"Howard, your cold jokes are not funny at all," Ron spit casually, his eyes began to sweep across the laboratory, and finally stopped on a whiteboard: "What is this? Did Sheldon write it? "

"It's nothing, it's just some equations that we can no longer use." Leonard said with a guilty conscience.

"Leonard, although I graduated from a literature major, it doesn't mean I don't know anything about physics and mathematics." Ron carefully looked at the content on the whiteboard: "Does he want to make this super battery smaller?"

"This is just talk on paper, and it hasn't been successfully practiced yet." Raj's eyes flickered.

"Really?" Ron's suspicious eyes swept across the faces of the three scientists one by one, and the three lowered their heads in shame: "I want this plan."

"However, we have already achieved the previously agreed specifications, you see," Howard anxiously said to Ron, holding up the half-finished super battery: ""

"Then let Sheldon work harder. Wait, where is Sheldon?" Ron looked around, but didn't find Sheldon's figure. Thinking of the guilty look of the three, he showed a half-smile expression: "Okay, Leonard, you must have used that ultimate train pass, right?"

"Yeah, but, Ron, let me just say, we've spent a lot of time and money on this prototype battery right now and it's the perfect solution, and most importantly, it's achievable, making the specs smaller It will take several weeks to recalculate, which will affect our deliveries to Tesla and China's factories."

Leonard said hesitantly, looking at the expressions of the three, Ron finally understood what the problem was.

Fortunately, Leonard said that although he doesn’t earn much, his expenses are not high. Penny’s job as a medical representative can also earn a lot. After all, no matter in China or the United States, medical representatives are high-income groups, Penny secretly said However, her current income is two to three times that of Leonard, and it has no effect on Leonard himself except that occasionally talking about money will make him lose face.

But the other two are different. One wife has just given birth and is facing a lot of pressure to raise a baby, and the other has just decided to become an independent man from now on. But so far nothing has been settled, and even the tickets to the Comic Con have been paid for by Ron.

It can be said that Raj is now pointing to the super battery success, and then proudly in front of his father.

Thinking about it this way, two of the three people are waiting to make a fortune from the battery.

"OK, what you said makes sense, but I still want this." Ron pointed at the whiteboard behind which Sheldon wrote the formula, and said stubbornly.

Howard said anxiously: "However, that plan is only on paper, not even a complete idea."

"Well, what the three of you said is very reasonable, thank you for expressing it so clearly, but now that I have changed my mind, you still have to make this plan," Ron knocked on the whiteboard unconsciously aggravating his tone :
"The size of 10% to 15% may be nothing to you, because the solution you have now is the world's number one. It will take a long time for others to reach a similar level, but don't forget, guys, commercial solutions Originally, it was produced to supplement military use.

Imagine, 10% to 15% of the space is placed on the weapon carrier, how many more bullets, shells, or a little thicker armor can be loaded. This space may not matter to you, but on the battlefield, it may be will save lives. "

The three of them bowed their heads by Ron's sudden lesson, but no one felt that there was anything wrong with what Ron said. Seeing them like this, Ron knew that his preaching was already useful, so he put on a more relaxed tone.

"Gentlemen, I think you have noticed some things in the news recently, such as the assassination of heads of state in London, the fall of the White House, etc. After these events, there is a very powerful opponent hidden. Everything you are doing now, It's all to make us more confident when fighting against them, understand?"

"We understand, Ron." The three of Leonard nodded.

"Okay, now let's go find Sheldon and get it back, come on~"

In the laboratory, there was a burst of wailing, Ron walked to the door, turned around and added: "I forgot to say just now, the deposit has already been paid by Tella, and I plan to use part of it as a bonus Come out, what do you think?"

"Long live!" The three cheered together.

In the Pasadena apartment, Raj was called away by his girlfriend, Ron's niece, when he came back from the laboratory, and the number became three again.

By the way, the place where they were dating was the apartment that Ron had just lent Raj, so close that Alex only had to climb over a wall.

"Ron, you are so generous that you let Raj live in your two-story house, and even allow them to date in your house, while you still share an apartment with Sheldon and the others .”

"Who can refuse an apartment that comes with free dinner? Anyway, there are only a handful of days when I actually sleep here at night," Ron shrugged indifferently: "What's more, Raj is dating my niece, if they get married , do you know how much an Indian family like Raj will give a married Indian boy?"

Leonard and Howard shook their heads together with gossipy expressions.

"I don't know, but it's more than you spent on the super battery project. You know, the Raj family is India's version of Iron Man," Ron just sighed, and there was a burst of stabbing in the apartment. Noise: "Wait, what's that sound?"

"It should be the sound of electric welding," Howard said while pushing open the door, and sure enough, in the apartment, Sheldon was wearing a welding mask, welding something to a big machine.

"Sheldon, what are you doing?"

"I'm welding locomotives. I haven't found out that the real thing is much more fun than the model for so many years~" Shelton took off his mask and said excitedly.

"That's right. Since I drove a tank for the first time, I have thrown away all the tank models. Compared with the real ones, those things are scum." Ron said while rushing to Reiner De and Howard pouted and said with their mouths: "Hurry up! It's your turn!"

Howard pushed Leonard again, and Leonard could only bite the bullet and say, "Listen, Sheldon, Ron wants us to make the super battery smaller, and we can't do it without you."

"Interesting, so I'm right." Shelton folded his arms triumphantly: "I would have liked to help you guys, but ever since I experienced the satisfaction of adjusting the locomotive engine by hand, I don't think I can go back I did theoretical research, and now I am an engineer."

"Let's say it first, it's a train engineer, not an idiot engineer like you." Sheldon pulled down the mask and said to Howard.

"Look at what you've done!" Ron gave Leonard and Howard a hard look: "Sheldon, you can go on a trip a few weeks later and help me make the super battery first, without you, they can't do it. "

"Sorry, I have to keep working on this locomotive so I don't look like an idiot when I get to the rail yard."

Just as Ron was about to continue talking, Leonard, the little witty ghost, secretly pulled his clothes, and the three of them came to the apartment next door together.

"Why, have you thought of a good way?"

"No, but I was wondering if I could get help from other people in the school? You know, there are a few people in the school who are as good as Sheldon, like Leslie, like Crispy..."

"Stop!" Ron stopped before Howard could finish, "This is a confidential project. The reason I'm looking for you is because we trust each other. You don't want half of the project to be taken away by some traitor." Find another company to sell money? Then we won't get a cent, or, can you try to complete this equation?"

The two of them stared wide-eyed, staring at the formula that Ron had just copied from the phone album to the whiteboard. They couldn't see anything from the formula until their eyes were sore.

After a long time, Leonard threw the marker aside in frustration: "No! This equation is too difficult, I can't do it!"

I don't know why, when Leonard said this, Ron automatically added the BGM of "One Cut Plum" in his mind.

"Well, it seems that there is only one last solution." Ron picked up the marker pen that Leonard had thrown away, and walked to the whiteboard.

"What way?" The two looked at Ron's actions inexplicably: "Could it be that you can calculate this equation?!"

"How is it possible? If I know how to calculate, what do you need?" Ron rolled his eyes, turned around and began to draw on the whiteboard: "This is what I mean."

After Ron finished drawing, when the two looked at the whiteboard again, they saw that the part that Sheldon hadn't calculated was filled by Ron with various messy formulas and theorems.

"What the hell is this?"

"All the mathematical formulas I still remember are written down. This is from the experience of a friend who always muddles through the exams. Regardless of whether he knows it or not, write down all the formulas and theorems first, and he will always get a little hard work."

"Please, this is ridiculous! You even wrote the Pythagorean Theorem..."

Howard was about to continue to recount Ron's answers, when Leonard's eyes suddenly lit up, and he took the pen from Ron: "I know what you are going to do! As long as Sheldon sees this pile of nonsense, he will You can’t help but correct us! But what you wrote is too irrelevant, so let me add a few words.

So, again,,, the last one is not even a mathematical symbol, it is the hair of the comic character Charlie Brown, haha, Ron, you are really a genius. "

After finishing the content on the whiteboard, the three returned to the apartment on the other side to start acting.

"Sheldon, we don't need you at all."

"That's right, we solved it ourselves, and it's not that difficult."

The three placed the whiteboard directly across from Sheldon and began to taunt him to get his attention.

"You guys are amazing." Sheldon said perfunctorily without raising his head.

"Don't you just take a look at the whiteboard? See how good Howard and Leonard are, maybe they are better than you." Ron continued to provoke, and the words just hit Sheldon's weakness, Sheldon Finally moved, he secretly glanced at the content on the whiteboard, and quickly turned his gaze back to the train engine.

A genius is a genius, and he can tell at a glance that what Leonard writes on the whiteboard is bullshit.

"No thanks, I'm busy fixing the fuel pump."

"That's the manifold," reminded Professional Engineer Howard.

"Well, it seems that I have fixed it." Shelton raised his head casually: "It's all wrong."

"Oh my God, did we make a mistake?" Ron said to Howard and the two in an exaggerated tone: "You guys really disappointed me, what should I do now? Which genius should I find to help me correct it?"

As he said, Ron took out the marker pen and dangled it in front of Sheldon. Sheldon took the bait, took the marker pen and walked to the whiteboard: "First of all, in the same equation, relative and non-relative vectors can be used. , I only write it once, and the next one is not an example.”

Sheldon slapped to the whiteboard and started counting, and behind him, I and they showed a successful expression.

But immediately, they couldn't laugh anymore. Sheldon moved away after writing, and saw that the equation that Leonard had written wrong on the whiteboard remained unchanged, and Leonard used the comic character's hair as the position of the mathematical symbol. But Sheldon drew the whole face.

Their plot was seen through by Sheldon from the very beginning.

"You underestimate me, you idiots."

"Please, Hilton, it's impossible for you to give up physics," Ron said helplessly. "And you don't even know what you're doing. If you really want to learn about mechanics, Howard can teach you."

"That's right, I will teach you well," Howard echoed, "With the new skills of repairing trains, you will definitely become the king of the model train shop!"

"Hmph, I have a girlfriend, and I'm already the king of model train shops." Sheldon said proudly, crossing his arms.

Looking at his expression, Ron knew there was something going on: "So are you willing to continue to help?"

"What choice do I have, you need me," Sheldon said, pointing to the front of the truck. "I'm like the crankshaft of this team..."

"That's a turbocharger," Howard reminded again.

"Whatever it is, it looks heavy anyway. As long as you throw this thing downstairs, I will continue to help."
