Thank you for the invitation. I am in Terra, just under the stars.

After pausing in the air for a moment, his hand moved upward and touched the girl's smooth blond hair.

He said:

"I placed an order on my phone, a braised pork rice bowl."

"Ok."

Liz nodded slightly, took her own plate and stood waiting for him. Then she saw a bowl about the same size as her head filled with rice bowl filled with sauce and a bottle of soda with water on the surface. .

She tilted her head slightly again.

After picking up the rice bowl, Zhou Cheng and Liz found a table to eat together.Glancing at the light food on her plate, she could tell that it was based on nutrition and health care. She had been reading books on this topic recently.

Zhou Cheng didn't rush to eat. He opened the soda and took a sip. Zhou Cheng asked:

"Didn't Shining come down with you?"

"Shining, she's still sleeping." Liz replied in a smooth but soft voice.

She stopped calling Shining sister for a long time, but recently she called him brother.

Zhou Cheng thought:

Because of the change in the child's name, he would look for her from time to time. Maybe it was because of this?

Not bad.

He does like the role of sister, but unfortunately, he can't spend much time with Liz.

Let’s see if there is a chance in the future to find her a friend with whom she can read books.

PM3: 00

After lunch, Zhou Cheng stayed with Liz for a while, and then went to see the sword master's wife who had not left the room.

Her room, even with ventilation, still had some lingering smell.

Shining was already awake, but she didn't get up. She was huddled in bed holding a pillow.

There are two pillows on her bed, one for her and one for Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng walked up and pulled out a chair and sat beside the bed. He moved his hair from her forehead with his hand, put his palm on her smooth forehead to feel her body temperature, and asked:

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I'm just...very tired." The white-haired Sakaz said sleepily with a peaceful face.

She stretched out her hand from the quilt and grabbed his hand, pulled it to the bed, then pushed his fingers away one by one with her fingertips, and then interlaced her own fingers smoothly.

Zhou Cheng put down his fingers with her in a tacit understanding and intertwined their fingers.

Shining was satisfied now. The quiet balance on his face was broken, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised into a gentle smile.

He turned his head to the side and opened his eyes, the only figure reflected in his loving eyes.

Half of her face was sunk into the fluffy pillow, and she said in a soft voice:

“Besides, I always feel a little bloated in my stomach.

"Obviously there shouldn't be any temperature, but I feel the heat. Could that be life?"

The young woman's expression was filled with longing and tenderness.

She didn't seem to care about Warfarin anymore.

Zhou Cheng raised his other hand to tidy up his wife's messy hair and said:

"Don't worry, it will happen."

Shining stopped talking, and gently closed his eyes again. He did not fall asleep, but just closed his eyes to rest.

Although she was only slightly inferior to Zhou Cheng in the physical skills competition, there was more than one level difference between the two in terms of recovery, and she was very tired now.Not just physically, but mentally as well.

Yesterday the intensity was too high, the whole process was high-energy, and now I have to pay off my debt. Judging from my complexion, I will probably be sluggish for a few days before I can recover.

The room became quiet,

Zhou Cheng didn't say anything and just continued to take care of Shining's hair.

Her fair hair was too long, just like her tall figure, and was very difficult to take care of, especially when she could only use one hand and it was difficult to move her position.

But Zhou Cheng worked tirelessly to gently push her hair behind her, and then sat next to her for two hours.

During this period, the strength in his hand did not loosen even a little bit, and the same was true for Shining.

PS: I originally wanted to go to bed after writing, but after a while I couldn’t fall asleep again...

119. Hand-rubbed reactor and jump engine

Zhou Cheng asked Laver to bring dinner to him.

After finishing the meal, I went to brush my teeth with my wife in my arms. I felt tired for a while before leaving.

I took a look at the dock. The head maid was guarding here, instructing the seaweed heads who were not afraid of hardship and fatigue to process the ship parts. The roar of machinery continued one after another, and the factory was in full swing.

Seeing Zhou Cheng, the agent held up his skirt and bowed slightly, saying:

"Good evening, master."

"Good evening."

Zhou Cheng said hello, walked up and asked:

"I suddenly remembered something. Is Manfred still lying in the operating room?"

"The operating room has been cleaned."

She didn't say where Manfred was going, but she thought the perfect and dashing head maid had arranged it.

Arriving at the agent's side, Zhou Cheng looked at the seaweed heads busy among the large machines with his hands behind his back, and said:

"One more thing. I seem to have borrowed a loan from Emerald City. The unit is one hundred thousand Emerald City currency. You can have someone pay it back with interest."

That was the starting capital of Iron Blood Heavy Industries, and the repayment period had not yet reached, but it would not be a bad thing to pay it back as early as possible.

The agent nodded slightly to express his understanding. After checking the current value of Emerald City's currency, he immediately arranged a seaweed head through the Internet to go to the warehouse to collect the Origin Stone and deliver it.

Iron Blood Heavy Industries lacks everything in terms of resources, but it does not lack Source Stones. It is like having unlimited energy, and its use cannot keep up with the production speed.

After doing this, she asked:

"Do you have any other orders?"

"Are the reactors and engines started?"

"Not yet, the general structure of the ship is currently being made."

Even the frigate used as cannon fodder among the stars is still a behemoth for the current iron-blooded heavy industry. Just putting together the appearance requires a lot of effort.

Zhou Cheng nodded slightly and said:

"Get the materials. If you don't have them, use soil instead. I'll make the reactor and engine first."

"Ok."

Leaving the shipyard crowded with equipment, we came to the studio.

Laverhead pushed a cart of materials and soil in. The biggest project of Iron Blood Heavy Industry now is to dig a hangar underground enough to accommodate the frigate, and a lot of soil was dug out.

Zhou Cheng opened the design drawing and glanced at it. After confirming that the frigate's configuration and impression were correct, he started making the reactor.

The hands covered with dark purple psychic energy squeezed the metal into a half-shaped ball more than ten meters high like rubber, and then squeezed a bunch of parts and stuffed them in. All that was left was fuel.

Putting his hand on a large box of soil, dark purple spiritual energy flowed from his fingertips to the soil, and he said:

"This is helium 3."

Then all the soil began to emit a crystal luster, and it looked like crystals were formed.

Although it looks like a solid, it is actually a gas, but its external form has been modified.

Spiritual energy surged out of his fingers again, and he said:

"These are fuel rods."

So these fresh helium-3 turned into zirconium alloy fuel rods about 4 meters long in the blink of an eye, neatly arranged in the box.

The reason why there is an extra process is out of habit. Directly using psychic energy to turn fuel rods will cost 10 units of psychic energy, but making uranium first and then making fuel rods only costs 2 units.

Take one out and put it into the ball, and soon it starts to glow with purple light.

For frigates used within planets, fusion reactors are sufficient.Moreover, fuel rods with residual spiritual energy attached to them will be more resistant to burning. It won't be a big problem if so many of them are used for a year or two.

This ship would have been eliminated by then. After all, the frigate was only an emergency measure. Zhou Cheng had no intention of spending too much time on this ship.

Next is the engine. What Zhou Cheng is most familiar with is the psychic jump engine.

It can use the crew's psychic powers to break the continuity of time and space, eliminate the distance between destination and departure point, and instantly 'jump' vast distances through the basic structure of reality.

Every battleship in the empire uses this kind of psychic jump engine.

However, this frigate will definitely not be used. It takes a long time to make it. It is too big and overqualified.

He didn't even need a hyperspace engine. He just made an antique-level sublight engine, which was almost equivalent to a horse-drawn carriage in the 21st century.

This sub-light speed can only be achieved in a cosmic environment. If it is inside a planet, it will be greatly reduced due to the resistance to gravity.If the speed is forcibly increased, the safety of the passengers on the ship will not be guaranteed, which is equivalent to launching an onboard charge.

After all, this is a tin can that is so powerful that it cannot be fought on the planet. When it was born, it was not considered to fight on the planet. Its main purpose was to be sent to the front line to die as cannon fodder.

After doing the two most important parts, all that's left is to create the shell.

After manually turning off the reactor, which had been emitting a dense glow, Zhou Cheng asked:

"How long will it take to complete now?"

"If we don't consider armament, it will take 15 days. However, the construction of the underground hangar is still intensifying. It will take at least 25 days to mobilize manpower to the maximum extent." The agent replied.

Digging soil is not an easy task, especially digging soil 300 meters deep.

After the excavation is completed, a platform must be built so that the ship can be repaired and equipped with weapons.

25 days is only the number that can be put into use, and does not take into account the subsequent construction of underground space.

"25 days..."

After hearing the agent's calculations, Zhou Cheng rubbed his chin in thought.

This time is about right. I will deliver it to Rheinland Life in more than a month.

However, he felt that it was still a bit slow.

There happened to be some scraps of the material here, so Zhou Cheng took it in his hands and started rubbing it.

Soon, the metals, minerals and soil turned into ten small metal balls.

Sweeping these into a box and packing them, he took it to the head maid and said:

"These are one-time concentrated energy sources that allow the body to achieve higher efficiency. The cost is probably scrapping them. You can use them for the engineering team digging the soil."

"I understand."

The agent bowed slightly, took the concentrated energy and left.

Zhou Cheng also walked out of the studio. After closing the heavy metal door, he was going to find some midnight snacks, so he turned on his phone to see what was available tonight.

After entering the cafeteria software of the Iron Blood Heavy Industry APP, while browsing, a message suddenly popped up.

........................

In a room lit by candlelight, the white-haired Sakaz girl sat at a desk.She held a brand new mobile phone in her left hand and an open dictionary in her right hand, looking attentive.

The 'literary girl' who exuded a quiet temperament looked at the dictionary for a few seconds and then turned her attention to her mobile phone. She tapped her fingers awkwardly on the virtual keyboard, clicking and pausing.

"Let me see...um..."

[Mr. Zhou Cheng, hello, I am]

oh~

Isn't that a bit, too alienating?

And it’s so awkward!

[Long time no see, me]

Dah, Dah, writing this makes me feel itchy all over!
