206: Chapter 206 Chen Shuyin is pregnant? The whole internet is in an uproar!

The speed at which news spreads is always faster than the Curvature Engine.

Especially gossip of this nuclear-level magnitude.

At the Moon Base Medical Center, a young nurse who had just been transferred up there recently couldn't control her wildly beating heart after verifying that S-class top-secret blood test report.

She hid in the restroom and, with trembling fingers, sent a very brief voice message in a group chat named "Tianhai Socialite Gossip Group."

Only three minutes later.

This voice message was like a spark falling into a gasoline barrel, instantly detonating the entire Earth along the quantum communication network that Chenxing Technology had just laid!

Weibo crashed.

Douyin's servers were sounding alarms frantically.

Even Twitter on the external network lagged into a slideshow.

At the same time, the top of the trending search lists on all major global social platforms was forcefully occupied by a line of striking dark red characters:

[ # Breaking! God Jiang has an heir! # ]

Following it was a deep red "Boiling" character, as red as blood, blindingly bright.

The comment section instantly turned into an ocean of revelry, with billions of netizens collectively reaching a climax.

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! Since I lack culture, I can only use this one phrase to express everything!"

"This is the real Crown Prince descending! Or the Eldest Princess! Born to possess an interstellar fleet and lunar mineral resources—this is truly being born in Rome!"

"I only care about one question: God Jiang is such a freak, and Academician Chen is the ceiling of human intelligence. With the two of them combined... will this child be born with a system?"

"To what extent must these genes be heaven-defying? I bet they'll be able to manually build a nuclear bomb at three and pilot a mecha to fight aliens at five!"

"The CEOs of global pharmaceutical companies are already lining up on the rooftop. We haven't outlived the old one, and now a little one is coming. We can't go on like this!"

The whole internet was in an uproar.

Everyone was frantically reposting and liking, and some even started crowdfunding online to buy a longevity lock for the future "Interstellar Crown Prince," although they certainly weren't lacking that little bit of gold.

At this moment.

As the male lead of this global storm, Jiang Chen was standing foolishly outside the hospital room like a wooden post.

"Da... Daddy?"

Jiang Chen widened his eyes, staring fixedly at Director Li in front of him.

This interstellar overlord, who could remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, had been chatting and laughing just a moment ago while facing the "Hunting Wave" from an alien civilization.

Now, however, he felt his legs trembling.

"Old Li, are you sure you didn't take the wrong report?"

Jiang Chen grabbed Director Li's shoulders, his fingers turning pale from the force, his voice fluttering, "It's not gastritis? Not low blood sugar? It's... there's an extra person in her stomach?"

Director Li grimaced from being grabbed, but still nodded firmly.

"Mr. Jiang, it is absolutely true."

"Academician Chen's HCG levels have doubled. Combined with the ultrasound images, the pregnancy is about four weeks along. Her fainting was purely due to early pregnancy symptoms coupled with overwork."

"Congratulations! Our Dragon Country, no, all of humanity is about to have a new addition!"

Jiang Chen's head was buzzing.

About four weeks?

He quickly went through the timeline in his head.

Counting the days, it was exactly that night during the luan niao starship launch test, when the two of them were on the observation deck at an altitude of 30,000 meters, watching the stars and having an accidental encounter!

That was a zero-gravity environment!

This hit rate is just too exaggerated!

"Boss, that's awesome!"

Zhao Gang next to him couldn't help but give a thumbs up, his rough face contorting into an extremely ambiguous smile, "This is truly a double blessing! Beat back the alien fleet and created a little boss!"

"Go away, go away, you have to be everywhere!"

Jiang Chen kicked Zhao Gang in the butt, "Go stand guard outside! Don't let a single mosquito in! And have the logistics department transport some prenatal supplements from Earth!"

Zhao Gang saluted and ran off happily.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, trying to calm his wildly beating heart.

He pushed open the hospital room door, softened his steps, and walked in like a thief.

On the hospital bed, Academician Chen Shuyin had already woken up.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, she turned her head.

This chief scientist, who was usually decisive and filled with physics formulas and antimatter data, was now leaning against the pillows with a somewhat dazed look in her eyes.

Obviously, the nurse had already told her that "earth-shattering gossip."

"Old Chen..."

Jiang Chen walked to the bedside, feeling rarely awkward, not knowing where to put his hands, "How... how are you feeling? Are you still dizzy?"

Academician Chen Shuyin didn't answer immediately.

She lowered her head, her beautiful hands trembling slightly, and covered her still very flat lower abdomen with extreme care and gentleness.

In her eyes, there was the incredulity of a scientist encountering a problem of the century, and also a shy sense of happiness as a new mother.

"Jiang Chen, this is not scientific."

Academician Chen Shuyin's voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing the little life in her stomach, "I calculated the physiological cycle; that day was in the absolute safe period."

"Moreover, due to the interference of cosmic rays in space, the probability of fertilized egg implantation should be less than 0.001%."

She raised her head, her face, which was always cold and proud, now flushed with a touching rosy hue, and her eyes filled with tears:

"But it is right here."

"It has broken all my calculation models."

Seeing her looking both conflicted and happy, the softest part of Jiang Chen's heart was hit hard.

Even a woman with the highest IQ, when facing such things, will still reveal her most instinctive tenderness.

He sat on the edge of the bed and gently held her somewhat cold hands.

"Stop calculating those useless data points."

Jiang Chen's voice was so gentle it could drip water, yet carried a hint of unquestionable dominance, "Whatever the probability is, since it's here, it's our child."

"That's my, Jiang Chen's, child; how could it be trapped by a mere probability?"

Academician Chen Shuyin burst into laughter.

Tears slid down her cheeks and fell onto the back of Jiang Chen's hand, scorching hot.

"You... you are still so unreasonable."

She gripped Jiang Chen back, her nails digging slightly into his palm, "But the situation is so chaotic right now. Externally, there's that The Sweepers watching us, and internally..."

She paused, her eyes suddenly becoming sharp, "Internally, there's that Empress far away in the Wasteland, who wants to come over with a blade at any time to chop people up."

"Jiang Chen, this child has come at the worst possible time."

Hearing the words "The Empress," Jiang Chen felt a chill down his spine and guiltily averted his gaze.

Indeed.

The trouble with Jiang Wanqiu hasn't been resolved yet!

He had previously tricked her, saying that cross-world reproduction had "reproductive isolation."

And yet, Academician Chen Shuyin got pregnant right after?

If that vinegar jar in the Wasteland finds out, it won't just be a matter of chopping people up; she might actually set the Earth on fire!

"Ahem, you don't need to worry about these things."

Jiang Chen forced himself to appear calm and patted his chest in assurance, "If the sky falls, I'll hold it up! If the aliens dare to come, I'll blast them into slag!"

"As for Wanqiu... I'll find a way to explain it. We are all civilized people, we can reason."

Academician Chen Shuyin snorted coldly.

"Reason with her? I'm afraid she'll come directly with an interstellar cannon to blast my laboratory."

Although she said that, Academician Chen Shuyin still obediently leaned into Jiang Chen's arms.

She was tired.

In this man's arms, she didn't need to be any chief scientist; she only needed to be a protected mother.

"Jiang Chen."

"Hmm?"

"If it's a girl, I want to teach her physics; if it's a boy, I want to teach him how to build spaceships."

"Okay, whatever you say. Even if he wants to take apart the Moon to play with as marbles, I'll back him up."

The two embraced in silence.

Outside the window was the vast, boundless starry sky and that azure Earth.

Time passed second by second.

Academician Chen Shuyin fell into a deep sleep, leaning on Jiang Chen's shoulder.

The hospital room was so quiet that only the steady operating sound of medical equipment could be heard.

Jiang Chen gently withdrew his hand and tucked the corner of the blanket for her.

He sat on the folding chair by the bed, his gaze moving slowly from Academician Chen Shuyin's peaceful sleeping face, finally settling on her still-flat lower abdomen.

In Jiang Chen's eyes, a trace of confusion and panic, which he himself hadn't noticed, flashed by.

This is not the same as building an interstellar warship.

When building a warship, if the blueprints are wrong, you can redraw them; if the engines explode, you can reinstall them.

When facing an alien fleet, if you can't beat them, you can just spend money to call for help, or just nuke them with one shot.

But this thing in front of me...

This is a living life.

It is a life that flows with his blood.

Jiang Chen raised his hand, wanting to touch that place where a miracle was being nurtured, but when he was less than a centimeter away, he retracted it as if electrocuted.

He didn't dare.

This man who was usually decisive in killing and was worshipped as a god by tens of thousands of people in the Wasteland.

This interstellar tyrant who could paralyze an Eagle Sauce aircraft carrier or make global capital tremble at the slightest disagreement.

At this moment, he was sitting by the bedside at a loss, like a young boy who had made a mistake.

What to do?

I haven't even gotten married, and I've jumped straight to being a father?

How do you mix baby formula? How do you change a diaper?

Does the radiation from interstellar warships affect the fetus?

The most critical thing is.

If this little ancestor is born and is a "gold-swallowing beast" like Xier, how much more money will I have to earn in the future to support the family?

Jiang Chen painfully pulled at his hair, deeply experiencing what it meant to have a "sweet burden."

Just as he was lost in his wild thoughts, even starting to consider whether to build a space playground on the Moon.

"Buzz—buzz—"

The phone in his pocket, specially used for cross-world communication, emitted an untimely, extremely short, yet murderous vibration.

Jiang Chen's heart tightened instantly.

It's over.

Whatever you fear, that's what happens.

The global trending searches have exploded; can such news be hidden from that yandere Empress who is always monitoring the screen?
