189: Chapter 189 Genius Daughter, Lazy Son

The myriad birds came quickly and left just as fast.

Jiang Chen didn't see any Golden-Winged Great Peng appear; the flock of birds simply departed one after another.

The Jindai Bird was also confused. Just moments ago, she could feel a mysterious energy gathering around them, but before long, that energy dissipated.

"They're gone, they're gone. Maybe those birds were just here to act up."

Jiang Chen waved his hand, signaling the soldiers and mecha on the deck watching the spectacle to disperse.

Then he returned to the nursery.

By now, Haipeng had stopped crying.

He was fast asleep.

"Those strange birds flew away?"

Xue Yao asked. Although the staff in the command room had already reported their departure, she still found it a bit strange how they came and went so suddenly.

She had even planned to fly up in the Xuannu to give them an electric shock treatment.

Jiang Chen nodded. "Yes. Aside from leaving some bird droppings, they left nothing behind."

Xue Yao chuckled. "What else did you want them to leave behind?"

"Well, didn't you envy the Seven Fairies engines on the Dragon God? I thought with so many birds, if I could trick them into doing some hard labor, it would be great."

Jiang Chen was suddenly possessed by the spirit of a capitalist, starting to think about how to exploit this massive, numerous flock of birds.

"Haha, if those birds knew what you were thinking, they'd peck you to death," Xue Yao laughed.

While they were talking.

Jiang Haipeng, who was dreaming, pricked up his ears as soundwave information entered his mind.

It eventually coalesced into a picture.

[Ten Thousand Birds Pulling the Ship!]

Four more days passed.

On the tenth day after Jiang Haipeng was born, he finally opened his eyes.

Not only could he drink formula, but he could also say some simple words.

"Ee-ya."

"Papa."

"Mama!"

"little busybody."

The last one was directed at Commander Jiang Qiuzhi next to him.

Commander Jiang Qiuzhi was sitting on the eight views carriage. She no longer drank formula and only ate Flat Peaches. Hearing Jiang Haipeng's greeting, she rolled her eyes at her cheap younger brother. "You're a Hawking!"

"little busybody!"

Jiang Haipeng bit his pacifier and glared at Commander Jiang Qiuzhi. It was this little busybody who had almost pulled his umbilical cord off. Luckily, he had used all his strength to give her a slap; otherwise, he would have been the one born premature. However, that slap was the reason he only opened his eyes today.

"You're a Hawking!"

Commander Jiang Qiuzhi ridiculed him.

Ten days old, still drinking formula, and unable to stand.

Seeing that the two were about to start a fight.

Jiang Chen stood between them. "Stop it!"

"Hmph!"

The two turned their heads away, concentrating on eating their Flat Peach and biting the pacifier.

Jiang Chen looked at Commander Jiang Qiuzhi. "Who taught you to use 'Hawking' as an insult?"

"Because based on my understanding, his ability doesn't match his reputation. His actual contribution to the entire physics community is just that of an ordinary scientist. His greatest contribution was actually science popularization."

"In terms of the greatest contemporary contributions, he's not even as good as Little Yang."

Commander Jiang Qiuzhi stood with her hands on her hips, speaking with an air of righteousness.

During these four days, Jiang Chen had originally wanted to teach her how to play Honor of Kings, but as she watched, she ended up reading the Longke Academy journals instead...

Jiang Chen hadn't cared much at first.

She's only ten days old; what could one possibly see?

But now, her words completely stunned Jiang Chen.

He asked in confusion, "Little Yang?"

"Yeah, Yang Zhenning, that little old man nearly a hundred years old. I've looked at his contributions to particle physics and condensed matter; they're quite good, definitely worthy of my attention."

Commander Jiang Qiuzhi spoke eloquently about her understanding of condensed matter and future development trends, even predicting the future application of Matter-Antimatter Annihilation Engines...

Jiang Chen had some understanding of matter-antimatter condensed states.

That is, under the density of a white dwarf, yin-yang material would produce a matter-antimatter condensed state. The moment this state forms, it releases immense power, which is called a matter-antimatter engine.

He remembered that the eight views carriage Commander Jiang Qiuzhi sat on was driven by a Matter-Antimatter Annihilation Engine.

It's just that this condensed state cannot be formed currently.

The reason was simple.

First, there is a lack of the material needed to form this condensed state—yin-yang material.

Second, the yin-yang material must be compressed to white dwarf density.

white dwarf density is second only to neutron star density. To achieve this density, an almost terrifying amount of energy is required.

From the perspective of current human Controlled Nuclear Fusion, it's still unachievable.

One can only wait for some supernatural biological entity to develop 'Spirit Fusion'.

With Spirit Fusion, one could naturally be like the ancient Kuafu, running between a neutron star and a black hole to forge a divine hairpin, and even slap the sun away in passing.

Ten minutes.

Commander Jiang Qiuzhi finished speaking.

Her mouth was dry, so she snatched Jiang Haipeng's bottle and gulped it down.

“...”

Jiang Haipeng was also dazed by what his sister said.

What on earth was all that?

Forget it!

I'd better just be a salted fish.

"Well said, Dad appreciates it! I support your research in this area; strive to surpass Little Yang soon."

Jiang Chen encouraged Commander Jiang Qiuzhi.

Although he only half-understood, it didn't stop him from helping his daughter turn the content into text for a submission.

At dinner.

Jiang Chen was still typing on the computer, drafting the manuscript.

Beside him, Xue Yao asked curiously, "Honey, what new research are you doing lately? It's time for dinner, and you still can't put it down."

She thought he was doing some research for the Longke Academy.

Jiang Chen just happened to click send, submitting the article about matter-antimatter condensed states and the future development of Matter-Antimatter Annihilation Engines to the top journal under the Longke Academy.

He closed the laptop and let out a long breath.

"It's Qiuzhi's. I helped her submit an article!"

After saying that!

He looked at Commander Jiang Qiuzhi expectantly.

"Qiu, you're truly excellent. Your dad only started submitting to Longke Academy journals in his twenties, but you... you did it in ten days."

Truly, the waves of the Yangtze River behind push those in front...

Surge forth, new wave!

Commander Jiang Qiuzhi tilted her head proudly and went back to munching on her Flat Peach.

Xue Yao leaned in surprised. "Really? You even understand condensed matter?"

Seeing Jiang Chen teach her Honor of Kings earlier, she thought it would be good if she could just learn the controls.

She hadn't expected.

That she would actually research condensed matter.

"Of course! I'm not like a certain bird who only knows how to drink formula."

Commander Jiang Qiuzhi looked smug.

"I like it!"

Jiang Haipeng rolled his eyes. Not only did he drink formula, but he also drank it lying down, legs in the air, looking exactly like a salted fish.

“...”

Watching the two bicker, Jiang Chen and Xue Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "My Genius Daughter and Salted Fish Son!"
