88: Chapter 88 Chi Yao Cuihua, the Towering Iron Pillar

"Jiang Chen! I have some huge news for you!"

On the test field, Jiang Chen was installing a new wingspan on Cuihua based on the principles of powered flight, to better adapt to the Xinhuo Xiangchuan Energy Device. Just then, Xia Zhongxun trotted over excitedly.

Jiang Chen turned back to look at the slightly flushed Xia Zhongxun and asked with a smile, "Dean, is it about the military factory? That's perfect; I'm in urgent need of the next batch of Xinhuo Xiangchuan parts."

Currently, only Cuihua had this energy device installed; the other mech-humans did not have this device.

Therefore, the experimental data was limited to Cuihua.

However, there was a whole pile of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals on the test field waiting to be installed and needing to train together.

"The military factory matter was settled long ago. Multiple departments have decided to approve two official military factories for the Longke Academy, and they are already running at full capacity to design various structures and parts for us."

"There is also a reserve factory; although it hasn't started operating yet, it will be activated at any time according to our needs."

"That's not the point. The point is, you have been promoted to an academician candidate, and you are the top candidate!"

"If there are no other surprises, you will be the next academician!"

Xia Zhongxun said all this to Jiang Chen in one breath, his old face turning even redder, to the point where he almost passed out.

"That's really great. In other words, in a day or two, I'll be able to get a new batch of Xinhuo Xiangchuan Energy Devices?"

Jiang Chen also looked happy.

If this set of energy devices were also installed on the pearl river 888, then next time they went to sea, they could go directly to the Pacific Ocean without worrying about the lack of nearby ports to refuel.

"Yes, yes—ah, no, didn't you hear me say 'academician candidate'? That's the point."

Xia Zhongxun hurriedly corrected Jiang Chen, telling him to pay attention to what was important.

Jiang Chen smiled. "An academician candidate, is it? I got it."

After saying that, he continued tinkering with Cuihua's wingspan.

This wingspan was longer and thinner than before, but after matching it with the energy device, the speed was faster, and the endurance was longer.

"No, didn't you understand? An academician candidate!"

Xia Zhongxun was dumbfounded.

Did this kid not understand what he said?

Otherwise, why was there no reaction?

You have to know!

Even though he was indifferent to fame and fortune, when he learned he had become an academician back then, he was so happy that he couldn't help but share it with his family for a long time.

This Jiang Chen, young as he was, why did he look like his neural synapses had failed?

Jiang Chen turned back and said calmly.

"Dean, I understood."

"However, I am not interested in being an academician candidate."

"Even if I become an academician, that is just a small goal in my life."

"Whatever 'General Manager', whatever 'Longke Academy Academician'—I can't even tell which of these titles is higher or lower."

After saying that.

Jiang Chen continued tinkering with the parts on Cuihua's body.

Xia Zhongxun stared blankly at Jiang Chen's back.

After a long while!

He couldn't help but mutter.

"Damn it! He really showed off."

Not only did he show off, but he did it so naturally, smoothly, and with such subtlety...

In the end.

Because Jiang Chen's aura of arrogance was too strong, Xia Zhongxun covered his face and left.

After Jiang Chen finished testing Cuihua's wingspan, he discovered that her overall performance had improved significantly.

Watching her stomp her foot and ascend directly into the sky, flying with her wings flapping while standing upright in the air.

She was simply as perfect as a female Heavenly General.

"With such a perfect female Heavenly General, how can she still be called Cuihua!"

Jiang Chen couldn't help but admire this masterpiece.

He shouted to the sky, "Cuihua, come down!"

Cuihua flew down, landed in front of Jiang Chen, and folded her wings.

"From today on, you are no longer called Cuihua."

"You are called... Chi Yao Cui Hua!"

Jiang Chen said to Cuihua.

Cuihua immediately responded: [Chi Yao Cui Hua, name is being programmed into the system.]

"And Tiezhu, although he hasn't been modified or upgraded yet, he can't keep being called Tiezhu. From now on, let's call him... Tongtian Tiezhu."

Jiang Chen incidentally changed Tiezhu's name as well, which sounded much more high-end.

"Chi Yao Cui Hua, Tongtian Tiezhu, hahaha, General Manager Jiang, the names you came up with... are really good, really good!"

The researchers nearby couldn't help but laugh.

"I have decided on the names for these two Heavenly Generals."

"For the other Heavenly Soldiers, you guys help come up with some names. We can't just call them all by number so-and-so; that's too boring."

Jiang Chen said to everyone with a smile.

Since they are Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, they certainly need names.

Anyway, it was almost time to get off work!

Soon everyone was discussing it excitedly.

Names like Murong Aotian, Yunhai Lianlu, Ice Snow Fairy... all popped up!

Jiang Chen sat on the side and rested for a while.

Just then.

An older researcher walked over and said, "General Manager Jiang, I have a presumptuous request."

"Old Fang, go ahead. If it's something I can do, I will definitely help."

Jiang Chen smiled.

In this Longke Academy, not everyone was as young as him; most were older professors.

For example, this Old Fang was a retired professor from a university.

However, over the years, he had still been contributing to the Longke Academy, mainly in charge of circuitry.

He was still polite when facing Jiang Chen.

After all, Jiang Chen had made so many contributions, which made him very admirable.

Professor Fang began to speak.

"It's like this: over the years, because I've been participating in scientific research, I've had very little time to go home, which has led to a not-so-good relationship with my daughter..."

Speaking of this, Old Fang sighed.

"However, I heard that my daughter seems to quite like the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals series. I saw on her Douyin that she made a wish to take a photo with a Heavenly Soldier during graduation season..."

"Yesterday, I heard from my wife that my daughter is taking her graduation photos tomorrow. I was wondering if I could take a Heavenly Soldier to attend my daughter's graduation season."

"Of course! I know that the Heavenly Soldier Project is currently in a secret research and development stage and cannot be easily taken out..."

Old Fang looked embarrassed when he said this.

Currently, the only person with the authority to take the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals out was Jiang Chen.

No one else could take them out at all.

After listening, Jiang Chen understood and asked, "Which school does your daughter go to?"

"Medical University," Old Fang said.

"What a coincidence! My daughter... ah, damn, my girlfriend is also at the Medical University."

Jiang Chen said, "How about this, I can take Cuihua out. If your daughter doesn't mind, I can let her take a photo with Chi Yao Cui Hua. Do you think she would like that?"

"Cuihua?"

Old Fang had originally only wanted to take a Heavenly Soldier out.

He didn't expect!

Jiang Chen was actually willing to take the Heavenly General-level Chi Yao Cui Hua out.

He immediately said excitedly, "That is really thank you so much! General Manager Jiang."

"It's nothing, I happen to be going to the Medical University anyway."

Jiang Chen said.

Calculating the time, Xue Yao should also be taking her graduation photos soon.
