Chapter 282 Machine 21

Jiang Chan has a strong learning ability, which is related to her previous blindness. She studied courses related to AR landscaping seriously and diligently. She wrote corresponding programs for the landscapes she had seen and longed for online, and then displayed them on AR glasses.

Jiang Chan also helped her former landlord reunite with her lover from her youth.

They met on the street when the landlord was being accompanied by a robot assistant on his way home. There were some drunken youths making trouble on the street and the landlord was unlucky enough to be affected. His electronic equipment was destroyed and even the photos he was wearing were burned in the flames.

Since she knew someone, Jiang Chan couldn't just stand by and watch. While taking the landlord home, she learned that the photo was his only remaining memory of his beloved. Jiang Chan felt a little uneasy, so Yin Jia pulled up the population records from previous years. The smiling face of a middle-aged woman appeared on the screen, and the landlord burst into tears.

"If only Queen Xingyue were still here, she would never want to see her former subjects suffer so much. Louis is simply a thug who usurped the throne. He deceived the Queen and the people. The Mechanical City will sooner or later be doomed under his hands! Under the Queen's leadership, the Mechanical City endured years of pain and suffering to achieve its former glory, but it was usurped by Louis!"

"That year, the city suddenly caught fire, countless people died, and a swarm of drones filled the sky. It was a dense web, and we had nowhere to escape! My wife and children died. They died at the best of times, just as we were about to move to our new home... I hate it!"

The landlord pressed his face against the smiling face on the screen, tears streaming down his face. His voice was hoarse and torn, like the wailing of a crow.

This was a grudge he had harbored for years, fearing no one would hear it. His wife had nearly left him again, and he couldn't bear it. If it weren't for his faith, he would have wanted to see Louis punished, to see the nobles who had caused so many violent incidents punished. This was his only remaining desire.

Jiang Chan was not clear about what happened in the past. She was young at that time and did not remember anything. Like most people in the Mechanical City, her impression of the Star-Moon Queen came from various free TV dramas and movies circulating on the Internet, or pornographic e-books. Although the people in the Mechanical City did not live well now and had very few rights, compared with the people during the reign of the Star-Moon Queen described in the TV dramas and movies or the records that could be found, it was like heaven and earth.

According to various records, the people in the Mechanical City suffered hardships during the reign of Queen Xingyue. The royal family always issued various decrees to exploit the people. Queen Xingyue even did ridiculous things such as indulging in wine and women and spending time together.

Louis, on the other hand, was a hero who saved the suffering. It was his arrival that saved the countless people of the Mechanical City from suffering. Handing over the management of the Mechanical City to him was God's will, the hope of the people, and the hope of the Mechanical City...

Jiang Chan felt that Louis was hateful. She had no good impression of the current Mechanical City. She was even more shocked when she heard the landlord's past secrets accidentally shouted out in pain.

Silver Armor: "Dragon Technology was originally a research institute exclusively for the royal family. The former director of the research institute was Yu Nanhua, the most powerful mechanic in the Mechanical City. After he married Queen Xingyue, the research team he led became the royal family's most solid scientific research force. As a result, the royal army became more indestructible, protecting the Mechanical City from being annexed by other countries..."

"Louis's origins are unknown. He's probably an orphan from the slums, but he's shown strong scientific research capabilities. After joining Yu Nanhua's team, he quickly gained Yu Nanhua's trust and became the team's backbone..."

Jiang Chan rested her head on Yin Jia's legs and listened to the secret information he got from somewhere. There were all kinds of strange rumors on the Internet about the Queen of Star Moon. Some people said that Yu Nanhua could not stand the queen's extravagance, so he joined forces with Louis to create a legion that was enough to overthrow the queen's rule and force the queen to abdicate.

All of this is just what is said on the Internet. Jiang Chan just uses it as a pastime when she is bored, but the information Yin Jia gets is more comprehensive and does not have as many loopholes as other versions. Jiang Chan likes to hear about the Star-Moon Queen very much recently, and asks Yin Jia to tell her the story as a bedtime story every night.

In the story of Silver Armor, Queen Xingyue is powerful yet gentle, beautiful yet resilient. Yu Nanhua is a capable mechanic who is also loyal to the queen. The two of them are deeply in love, and the Mechanical City prospers under their governance...

Jiang Chan did not forget the expression of the landlord's grandfather when he missed his wife. At any time, true love is always the most touching. She sought help from He Yining, and the two of them jointly made a pair of AR glasses. The appearance of the glasses was very simple. They applied to participate in the AR production competition, so that all the funds could be funded by the school.

The final result was very good, I won the third prize in the competition and received a not-so-large bonus.

Compared to the other contestants' impressive scenes, theirs was simple, combining real-life scenarios to simulate the journey of young people from love to acquaintance. As the landscape shifted, two elderly people leaned against each other, cuddling each other through spring blossoms, summer rain, autumn wind, and winter snow, their hands forever clasped together. The faces in the images could be modified. While their presentation wasn't as elaborate as others, the emotions they conveyed were deeply moving.

Jiang Chan gave the glasses to the landlord. The moment the landlord put on the glasses, he seemed to see their past selves. Although he was in pain every day in the real world, they lived happily in the virtual world until they grew old.

This is another kind of comfort.

…

"Why don't we invite Ji Rong to dinner?" He Yining asked.

Jiang Chan: "Although this competition was held under the names of both of us, he helped us a lot in the classroom. He fixed the machines a few times when they broke down. We should ask him for help."

He Yining: "It's just right to use this bonus. Let's go find him after class."

Jiang Chan nodded: "Okay."

Ji Rong is a student one grade higher than them. He has outstanding learning ability and helps with any repairs needed in the school. He also works part-time as a repairman in the school. He has a cheerful personality and often helps others. He is very popular in the school.

Jiang Chan reported to Yin Jia and asked him to pick her up later, and then she and He Yining went to the restaurant to wait for Ji Rong.

He Yining turned on her phone and chatted with her robot wolf. Jiang Chan rested her chin on her hand, admiring the scenery outside the window. She saw all kinds of robots walking on the street, and then she saw a tall, thin boy in a white shirt and black trousers wink at her. He raised his arm slightly and waved.

It was Ji Rong. He trotted over to the glass window and knocked on it facing Jiang Chan. Jiang Chan was startled for a moment, then smiled. Ji Rong turned and walked into the restaurant, pulled out a chair opposite Jiang Chan, and sat down.

"I'm here." Ji Rong said, "It's just a small favor. I didn't expect you to invite me."

He Yining put away her phone: "It's my duty."

Ji Rong held up the juice and said to Jiang Chan, "Congratulations on winning the award. I saw the final presentation. It's very creative."

Jiang Chan was keenly aware of the strange way Ji Rong looked at her, as if she had known him before, but she had no memory of him. She smiled shyly, and the three of them talked about school, and the more they talked, the more familiar they became. Ji Rong was very caring and his way of speaking was very comforting. Even Jiang Chan finally let down her guard under his deliberate approach.

Jiang Chan doesn’t have many friends at school. Most of her time is occupied by studying. The rest of the time she spends with Yin Jia. Even during vacation, Jiang Chan has Yin Jia by her side. She doesn’t feel lonely. Therefore, sometimes she always refuses invitations from her classmates. Over time, her classmates only nod to each other to get to know her.

Ji Rong, after He Yining, was another good friend. Occasionally, when they bumped into each other on the street, they would stop and chat. Ji Rong was very gentle, and Jiang Chan loved asking him questions. He was patient and careful when teaching, and his voice was gentle and soft.

It was a free class day at school. When Jiang Chan arrived at the AR landscaping classroom, Ji Rong was repairing the machine inside.

"Do you want to use it now? Wait a moment, there's something wrong, I'll fix it right away."

Jiang Chan: "There's no rush." She walked to his side, dragged out a chair and sat next to him, waiting quietly for Ji Rong to repair it.

"I remember you." Ji Rong said suddenly.

Jiang Chan: “…Ah?”

Ji Rong sighed and said helplessly, "You may have forgotten me. You were young at that time. When you first came to the orphanage, I was the one who took care of you. Later, we were both adopted by adoptive families. I wanted to wait until we were settled and look for you, but I heard that your adoptive family moved away. I thought I would never see you again, but I didn't expect that we were in the same school."

He paused for a moment and asked, "What's wrong with your eyes?" After recognizing Jiang Chan, he asked about her and knew that she had been blind.

Jiang Chan didn't expect such a coincidence. No wonder she always felt that Ji Rong took extra care of her when she was with him. It turned out that it was not an illusion. She just had no memory of the things before she became blind. The time when she just became blind was her darkest moment, which almost destroyed her. She forgot everything about the people and things in the past.

Jiang Chan said, "I'm not as lucky as you. When I was adopted, there happened to be an incident on the central street. My eyes were injured by the explosion. I left the orphanage only after I grew up."

Ji Rong's face showed sadness. He raised his hand slightly and asked, "Can I touch your head? When you were this small, you always followed me around and called me brother. Now you don't even remember me. I'm very sad."

Jiang Chan was silent for a while, then whispered, "I can't remember clearly."

Ji Rong put down his hand: "Okay." He shrugged helplessly, "The machine has been repaired, you can operate it."

Jiang Chan: "Yeah." She sat down on the chair, and just as she was sitting, before she could steady herself, a pair of hands suddenly covered her head, ruffling her hair slightly. Ji Rong smiled happily: "Although you have forgotten what happened in the past, I still remember that you called me brother, and you can't deny it. Is it okay for me to touch my sister's head?"
