The engineering drawings of Eden were provided by Lin Chi-ling, while the specific implementation of the project was undertaken by engineers from the NAC Human Resources Department.
To this end, Jiang Chen also specially established a special department called the Eden Institute.
However, because Lin Chiling has no experience in personnel management, and she herself has no interest in managing troubles like others, this department is different from the independent Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute, and is managed by the Ministry of Personnel.
Jiang Chen is very relieved that Lu Huasheng is a rigorous person in his work.
At the beginning, he was the chief engineer of base construction, and there should be no problem with him in the engineering matters.
Although the technological content of Eden is a bit avant-garde, Lin Chi-ling has provided drawings for all aspects of the project.
With the rich experience of NAC engineers, it is probably not difficult to implement.
The sunset is slightly slanted.
After the project inspection, Jiang Chen took Lin Chiling into a special car and returned to the villa located at the Fishbone Base.
As usual, the delicious Xiaoju made a dinner that was as delicious as hers. Liu Shishi, who was usually very well-behaved, was learning cooking skills while working for Xiaoju.
As for Liu Yifei, he stood in the kitchen and was enthusiastically responsible for tasting.
As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the refreshing fragrance. Lin Chiling, who had taken off her shoes, rushed into the kitchen with a scream, and then competed with Liu Yifei for the kitchen tasting staff's special seat.
Whenever this happened, Liu Shishi would comfort the two of them, but the corners of her mouth were filled with a little devilish smile.
Looking at the lively kitchen, Jiang Chen's face always showed a happy smile on his face.
It would be great if I could move this family to this world.
In this lively atmosphere, Jiang Chen and the girls finished their dinner together.
Watching Lin Chiling, who was pouting, walked into the kitchen with the tableware. Jiang Chen touched his bulging belly and returned to his room.
Whether it is alien species, harmony or supreme, the dust has returned to the earth at this moment.At this moment, Jiang Chen finally freed up his hand and had time to study his mutated storage space.
Lying flat on the bed, Jiang Chen slowly closed his eyes and sank his consciousness into the crowded small universe.
The universe expands very slowly, it has been almost a month since the diameter has expanded a little.
But even so, it is still considerable if converted into area.
It was only 300 cubic meters when it initially collapsed, but now it has become 340 cubic meters.
But Jiang Chen still didn't understand what the mechanism of the expansion of this small universe was.
In this dark space, dozens of crawler robots and viper drones float.Their power is almost exhausted and they can be taken out of the storage space in a few days.
At this moment, most of them are distributed on the boundaries of the small universe, floating there quietly.
Jiang Chen vaguely remembered that when these things were placed in the storage space, they maintained their original motion vector.
Will kinetic energy be lost when it comes to contact with the boundaries of the universe?Jiang Chen touched his chin and thought.
He is not a physicist and cannot explain this physical phenomenon.
Or let alone him, even Lin Chiling, who is quite accomplished in Crane particle research, cannot explain it. She just describes it in general terms as the original eleven-dimensional space decayed to three-dimensional under collapse and the big explosion.
According to the description of eleven-dimensional supergravity by superstring theory in M theory, the existence form of Jiang Chen's storage space is indeed similar to that, that space composed only of gravity.
When Jiang Chen asked whether this was good or bad, Lin Chiling only gave a very vague answer.
It is hard to tell whether it is good or bad. The objective existence of nature is originally a thing that has nothing to do with right or wrong.You can understand the space you used to be a ball of plasticine that can be kneaded at will, but now this is a fixed spherical space, where all concepts below eleven dimensions such as points, lines, surfaces, and time are present.But anyway, you just foolishly treat it as a useful treasure chest. If that's the case, no matter what it becomes, it will be no different for you.Lin Chiling rolled her eyes and said.
That being said, if it could get bigger…
Looking at the deep darkness, Jiang Chen fell into deep thought.
In this small universe, he is like a god.
Any object in space can move under the interference of his mind.
He changed the position of objects in this space as easily as tidying up his schoolbag.
However, this ability to give objects a kinetic energy in a specific direction will consume the energy of the bracelet when used.In addition, all objects in contact with the boundary will lose kinetic energy in the outward direction.
In the entire small universe, only the boundary part is not under his control.
If this space is a little larger, big enough to accommodate the next planet...
Jiang Chen was suddenly shocked, but then he shook his head with a wry smile.
At the current expansion speed, even if you wait for 17 or 8 lifetimes, you can't stand a Shanghai city.
How about throwing a few nuclear bombs inside and forcibly expand this space?
Jiang Chen quickly denied this idea.
Not to mention whether they can gather so many hydrogen bombs or blood crystals, and whether Liu Shishi has the ability to detonate the blood crystals, no one can guarantee that if the space dimension will not continue to fall into one dimension after a collapse and a big explosion occurs in the storage space again.
If the entire space is pulled into a line, it will be completely taken off.
Another possibility is that the explosion energy cannot meet the energy required for collapse, and the detonated blood crystal forms a never-decaying light ball in space.
In a sense, this is the most painful situation.
The moment you take out the light ball, you will be vaporized by the high temperature of millions of degrees. However, if you don’t take out the light ball, you can’t put anything in the storage space.
There must be some way to improve the size of the storage space...
But what exactly is that method? Is it still unknown?Jiang Chen sighed and fiddled with the robots a few times.
But at this moment, there was a sudden slight movement in his body.Although consciousness sinks into this small universe, he can still feel the body located in reality.
Opening his eyes, a pretty red face caught Jiang Chen's eyes.
It's Xiao Ju Ah, is there anything wrong?Looking at Xiao Ju who withdrew her fingers, Jiang Chen reached out and touched his soft little head and said with a smile.
That, will Brother Jiang Chen go back there recently?Xiaoju asked in a low voice.
Well, I have a lot of things to be busy with there.Feeling the warm and soft touch of the palm, Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Well, the big brother is working very hard.Xiao Ju said with some pain.
It’s better to say that there are more ingredients for relaxation.
Facing the indeed concerned gaze, Jiang Chen always felt a little blushed.
Then, then... as a relaxation, do you need Xiaoju to help you with a bath?Xiao Ju buried her little head, smiled shyly, and said as she played with the corner of her skirt.
Scrub the bath?
Recalling the beauty that happened during the last time I scrubbed my bath, Jiang Chen couldn't help but swallow and spit.
Reason told him that he should refuse, but his body nodded honestly.
Sometimes he really feels that he is so evil...
……
Sitting in front of Xiao Ju, although he had had a bath with Xiao Ju, every time he saw Xiao Ju's young body and listened to Xiao Ju's soft big brother's voice coming out of his mouth, Jiang Chen always felt that his sinful value was simply out of the blue, but a different desire surged deep in his heart, which made Jiang Chen unable to stop. It seemed impossible for him to refuse sternly.
Jiang Chen felt that at this rhythm, he would sooner or later.
Xiao Ju, I only helped me rub my back this time.Jiang Chen sat upright in the bathtub, his tone firm and his expression calm.
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w
The weak questioning voice, with the sound of a kitten-like breasts, Jiang Chen's defense exercise index fell vertically and directly touched the bottom.
No...Don't worry, there is no such thing. Jiang Chen's attitude changed very quickly. That... Forget it, Jiang Chen is still very helpless and feels that his bottom line is still falling.
Alas, hehe... Xiao Ju can do a good job, the little animal understands, the little animal has been waiting for a long time, and the eldest brother wants to eat at any time... Xiao Ju mustered up the courage to persevere and still kept her head shyly before she finished speaking. She leaned her little body on Jiang Chen's back, and her soft little hands poked Jiang Chen's back, looking very cute.
Jiang Chen didn't know what to say, so he had to keep silent and sit still.
Xiao Ju looked at his flat figure and said with a slouching mouth: Although Xiao Ju’s little rabbit is not as big as Sister Liu Yifei, you can just feed it more, and you see, it also longs for the love of the big brother.
Jiang Chen sat on his back, feeling itchy and a hot head. Looking at the lazy guy who was holding up high from his crotch, Jiang Chen continued to remain silent.
By the way, I am indeed a beast, right? Such a young girl always looks like she is waiting to be pushed by herself at any time. Although her voice is very good, she is also very Cute and loli, and her skin is very white and delicate. If you hold Xiao Ju Youyou's tender body in your arms, it's like holding a cute little daughter... Wait, I'm not a loli control, I'm not a loli control.
Huh...hey, Xiaoju crawled over with the edge of the bathtub. At a glance, he saw Jiang Chen exposed the mushroom head on the water. He stretched out his little hand without hesitation.
Xiaoju….Jiang Chen saw Xiao Ju's actions, but hesitated but did not forcefully stop them.
Jiang Chen was shocked by Xiao Ju Xue's white and delicate little body, like a porcelain doll. Especially when Xiao Ju stepped over his body, the light pink crack flashed in his eyes. There was no hair around him. Little water droplets sprinkled, shining under the light, making people feel beautiful and innocent.
But the red and shiny mushroom head on his lower body betrayed him. Jiang Chen's penis was hard, and he had an urge to vent his bullets.
However, Xiao Ju was still too young, so he still restrained it. It was very difficult to be a good person, and Jiang Chen raised his head and cried.
Brother Jiang Chen... Xiaoju helps you.Xiao Ju bit her little mouth and secretly stretched out her small fist to cheer herself up. The soft little hand that stopped Jiang Chen's cock began to slowly stroke.
It felt like after a long time, huh...hey, because Xiao Ju's speed was not fast, although it kept bringing a constant stimulation to Jiang Chen, it was not enough to make people vent.
After a breath, Xiao Ju tilted her little head and simply squatted, holding the lower half of the stick with his straight hand, and stroking it with a whisper.
Ju...Xiao Ju, you are so cute.Jiang Chen gasped and reached out to touch Xiao Ju's shaking little head.
Um...Does the big brother want to eat Xiaoju?Xiao Ju Hei Xiū Hei Xiū was breathing, her hands didn't stop, and she was still trying to serve Jiang Chen.
Xiaoju, wait.Jiang Chen changed his position and lay horizontally on the edge of the bathtub, holding his tender body with one hand. Xiao Ju, sir, the next one may be a bit too much... Jiang Chen couldn't stand the impact brought to him by the cute little animal, and was ready to do something more excessive.
No...No, the little animals have been waiting for a long time.Xiao Ju thought that her brother Jiang Chen was finally going to eat the little rabbit, so he hurriedly added: Xiao Ju is not afraid.
Desire burned, Jiang Chen turned Xiao Ju backwards over a position above his head and below his feet, stares at the charming slit in front of him, and bites it.
Brother Jiang Chen, this feeling... is really comfortable. Xiao Ju's reaction is a bit different from what Jiang Chen expected.
I felt Jiang Chen paused for a moment, and Xiao Ju continued: I have seen you and Sister Liu Yifei like this several times. Xiao Ju thought so much after seeing it... I miss Brother Jiang Chen very much, but Brother Jiang Chen never comes to find Xiao Ju. Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo wooAs he said that, he stuck out his cute little tongue and added it to Jiang Chen's cock, making a whimpering sound.
Sister will do it, Xiao Ju will do it.Xiao Ju turned her head and showed a shy smile at Jiang Chen, soft and Cute.
……
To this end, Jiang Chen also specially established a special department called the Eden Institute.
However, because Lin Chiling has no experience in personnel management, and she herself has no interest in managing troubles like others, this department is different from the independent Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute, and is managed by the Ministry of Personnel.
Jiang Chen is very relieved that Lu Huasheng is a rigorous person in his work.
At the beginning, he was the chief engineer of base construction, and there should be no problem with him in the engineering matters.
