Even knowing that Blue Mist's appearance was fake, Avery couldn't help but keep looking at the boy.
They look so alike. Blue Mist looks more like her, Ace looks like herself, and Avery would rather deceive herself for a moment of happiness.
Ace's test flight mission lasted for three months before he finally achieved stable results. While taming a spaceship, Ace also learned about its obvious flaws.
It was too high and mighty, like an unruly king of horses. Ordinary people couldn't even be looked down upon by it. Even a gifted genius like Ace had to be thoroughly criticized by it before it could barely smooth its fur.
Upon seeing the problems raised by Ace, Dr. Ai not only didn't find them daunting, but was eager to try: "If we can solve these problems, then we can develop an aircraft that greatly reduces the difficulty of piloting. At that time, what will maglev trains be? We want to cooperate with the government to build a world-class landmark low-altitude air route..."
"Has the doctor forgotten that this thing requires the new element Uo as its energy source?"
Dr. Ai was speechless for a moment, and his dejection was visibly apparent: "Yes, even if the speed doesn't have to be that fast, oil and all the new energy sources at present can't be used as a power source, so it would be useless even if it were developed."
The dream that had just been ignited quickly turned into a castle in the air.
Ace continued to tease him: "Doctor, the Schuler family has more advanced microelectronics technology for lithium, plus room-temperature superconductor technology, so I don't think it's impossible to achieve, right?"
Dr. Ai almost spat out blood: "Can't you just finish what you were saying in one breath? The human body can't handle extreme joy or sorrow in a short period of time!"
Ace smiled faintly. Dr. Ai figured out the meaning behind it and signed a contract similar to a servitude agreement in exchange for the principles and diagrams of the two technologies that Ace mentioned.
Having successfully retired, Ace returned to the manor. Looking down at the garden from the high castle, his eyes narrowed dangerously. There were not only millions of roses, but also two men sitting opposite each other, talking.
Ace couldn't hear what they were saying, but he could tell that his father seemed very happy.
After lunch, Ace stopped Blue Mist on his way back: "You should go back now. Please give my regards to my mother. I'll be visiting her this Chinese New Year."
Blue Mist paused for a moment, then said, "I understand."
That evening, Avery canceled an important video conference to have dinner with his sons. When he noticed that Blue Mist wasn't there, he immediately asked about it.
Ace took out a handkerchief to wipe the sauce off his lips and said slowly, "Father likes him very much? Actually, he originally looked a lot like that Mr. Xie. I was afraid you would be disgusted, so I asked him to use my face as a template."
Avery fell silent. After finishing his meal, he inquired about his son's injuries and then went upstairs to handle official business.
Ace smiled, took out his phone and texted his mother: Thanks to Blue Mist, I was able to survive. Thank you for helping me, Mother.
Jiang Shuyin received the message and then saw Lan Wu return and be called over by Xie Yin for a talk. Lan Wu had the best talent, and Xie Yin was training him as an elder, sometimes with particularly strict requirements, which also led to Qing Wu undergoing extra training.
They either go underground to collect energy stones or go into space to be baptized by cosmic storms and build up tolerance to solar magnetic storms, etc.
Taking advantage of Xie Yin's busy schedule, Jiang Shuyin consulted the system about some issues.
"Is having one child a month too many? Is there any way to control it?"
The system sneered, "You're nothing compared to others. Some systems are bound to fish-like creatures and have a litter of babies, which makes us systems extremely envious. There are also systems bound to the Zerg, and those systems brag that they can just sit back and win without any effort. If you don't want to hatch, you can store them in a temperature-controlled incubator. Once I upgrade to a higher level, I guarantee you'll enjoy the benefits too."
"..." Jiang Shuyin changed her tone: "I don't want to have any more children. If I have too many, I won't have the energy to take care of them, and I don't want to just throw them in an incubator and leave them alone. Since they have come into this world, what right do I have to stop them from being born?"
The system is in a bind. This isn't the first time the system community has received feedback from the host. Based on past cases, the system only needs to distract the host with something important but difficult to accomplish.
"Host, how about this? You should improve your abilities first, and maybe this matter will be resolved."
Jiang Shu knew that her special ability was to lay eggs, not just a simple strength-based ability. It's true that people say your first special ability determines how easy it is to level up later.
Most intermediate-level ability users currently possess abilities based on the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Rare abilities such as wind, thunder, light, and darkness are mostly still at the beginner level. Jiang Shuyin has been cultivating under the sunlight for half a year, but she still hasn't even touched the threshold.
Come to think of it, this egg-laying ability is too overpowered; to level up, one must put in a lot of hard work.
She didn't need to ask the system about its attitude; she should just find a place to cultivate properly.
Jiang Shuyin asked Lao Hu to change to a sunny office. She worked non-stop during the day, and at noon she would not go to the cafeteria because she brought her own lunch. She would finish all her work in one go until sunset in the afternoon and then leave.
Days repeated themselves one after another. Qingwu was about to enter junior high school and took in a large number of kids as his underlings. When they graduated, he told them, "I'll help you take over the junior high school territory. Coming to No. 1 Middle School will be like coming home."
Bai Su had so many female admirers at the elementary school that even the teachers couldn't concentrate on their lessons. It was only thanks to the efforts of her underlings like Qing Wu that the group of infatuated girls were kept in check.
Lan Wu learned from his father, and when Xie Yin was busy, he liked to become a child and lean on his sister's side.
Heimei and Shuining were determined not to go to school and loved to stay at home watching dramas and playing games, making them exemplary homebodies. Even Zheng Lanxiang couldn't stand it anymore, so she and Lao Xiao each took one of the kids out for a walk, and they had to walk them for a full hour before coming back.
The past few years have seen great changes. The Merfolk have gained a foothold on the world stage, and some people have fallen in love with Merfolk. European royal families have requested marriage alliances, and Changji has sent a female Merfolk to marry her. After the marriage, they lived on an island. Because the prince was quite wealthy, they lived a loving life and even had children.
Many people are secretly watching, and some private organizations want to steal the child's genes to explore the truth behind the longevity of merfolk. However, the child has a clear physical defect: as a girl, she has no ovaries and therefore cannot have children.
Two years later, the female merman gave birth to another son thanks to the prince's efforts. The boy grew to the age of eighteen but still could not produce sperm and was subsequently diagnosed with congenital infertility. Later, other families who had married mermen were diagnosed with the same condition, and it was then realized that there was a reproductive barrier between humans and mermen, and that the offspring they conceived could not reproduce. In the end, the merman chieftain Changji announced the cancellation of intermarriage.
Intermarriage failed, but trade was very successful. The Merfolk needed medicinal herbs, ornaments, and buildings, and they established close cooperation with Z country. The raw materials they exported, such as fish scales, mermaid pearls, and sea mud, were highly sought after by the outside world. After the Merfolk became wealthy, they expanded their territory again and again, eventually touching the interests of a certain country.
Faced with the country's firearms, the Merfolk's spatial laws made the missiles disappear without a trace, and the Merfolk's revenge was merely a curse from a Merfolk.
The curse came true later, and the entire family of the person who started the war died mysteriously.
After that, everyone behaved honestly and dared not do anything underhanded, which is why Changji allowed Lin to take Awen to the mainland.
