197: Xia Tongtong

Luo Chen nodded, looking at the woman who had been carrying him. "Who is that? I haven't seen her before."

Xia Tongtong's mouth drooped, almost crying.

"Wuwu... I still couldn't avoid it!"

She slowly stood up, turned around, hooked her hands in front of her, forced a smile onto her face, and awkwardly greeted, "Train Conductor, it's me, Xia Tongtong!"

Seeing that Luo Chen didn't speak, she hurriedly bowed and apologized:

"Train Conductor... I'm sorry! I really didn't intentionally dismantle your flying motorcycle. I just wanted to study... study its principles."

"Give me five days, no, three days, and I'll definitely put it back together."

Luo Chen's face darkened upon hearing this. He had just been trying to recall who Xia Tongtong was, and he didn't expect her to spill everything herself.

At this moment, he had already remembered who Xia Tongtong was. She was a female doctoral student specializing in aircraft design and engineering whom he had met when he was looking for a treasure chest in Jichang University City.

At the time, seeing her talent, he had brought her onto the Train and planned to have her try designing a flying car. Later, he had too many things to do and forgot about her.

He hadn't seen her since, so he hadn't remembered her.

He looked at Xia Tongtong, who was about 1.4 meters tall, with a stern face, feeling that she couldn't even climb onto a motorcycle. "Are you sure you can put it back together? If not, I'll have to kick you off the Train."

A flying motorcycle was worth 100 train coins.

"Yes! I can!" Xia Tongtong was so scared she was almost crying. She was just curious about the principle of the flying motorcycle's suspension, but she didn't expect that after dismantling it, she couldn't put it back together.

"Don't scare her!" Fei Lan looked at Xia Tongtong's pitiful appearance and couldn't help but step forward,

"I'll vouch for her. She has a lot of talent in aircraft. With a little training, designing the mech you want, one that can enter space, shouldn't be a problem."

"Really?" Luo Chen's eyes lit up. It seemed like finding more university students was a good idea after all.

Fei Lan nodded.

"Alright then! If you design it, I'll reward you handsomely!" Luo Chen said seriously to Xia Tongtong.

"Mm! I can do it!" Xia Tongtong nodded her small head earnestly, relieved in her heart that she had finally passed this hurdle.

"Alright, you all continue working. Remember to rest on time. My Train doesn't operate on the principle of exploiting employees."

After Luo Chen finished speaking, he turned and left the carriage.

He was just an obstetrician and gynecologist. He might understand the human body structure very well, but he knew nothing about high technology.

"I haven't awakened today. Who should I take in this time?"

Luo Chen stroked his chin. There were too many women, and for a moment, he really didn't know which one to choose... At the same time, Hou Jun arrived at the Great Xia Interstellar Federation headquarters, accompanied by a subordinate of a trickster.

"Captain Hou, this way please!"

As soon as they appeared, two men in military uniforms walked over.

Hou Jun nodded. He had informed them in advance, so he was not surprised that they immediately appeared before him.

Along the way, they passed through a spacious area where all the carriages had been opened up.

They saw countless people moving around in the open-plan space. Some were drinking tea, some were strolling, and some were watering flowers and plants.

If it weren't for the windows at the end that still offered a view of space, and the ceiling entirely covered in daylight lamps, they would have thought they were back on Blue Star.

"Captain Hou, what do you think of our place?" The guiding soldier couldn't help but ask.
