Chapter 503: The Shocked Kelvin

Chapter 503: The Shocked Kelvin

Translator: _Min_ Editor: Rundi

Only a pile of gravel lied on the bare island. The golden sand was the primary color of the island. The alternating green and blue decorated the beautiful island located at the most southeastern part of Xin, north of the equator line.

The flat and wide land formation was the only advantage. The plant standing in the middle of the island was not yet painted as construction was completed not long ago.

Right now, Jiang Chen’s private yacht was anchored by a crude fisher shack at the edge of the island.

The port belonged to a Xin fisherman. The honest fisherman didn’t even know there was a change in political regime. It was not until an employee from Celestial Trade showed him the land certificate did he realize he was occupying private land.

But Jiang Chen didn’t give him trouble as he purchased the crude shack along with the port for a price of 10,000 USD.

So the shack was the only standing structure other than the plant in the center of the island.

“This is the base of our company?” Kelvin twitched at the scene of the barren island.

He felt like he just experienced contract fraud.

[This is not going to work, this is being deported.]

“Of course not, but before the building is built, you will temporarily be working at the Celestial Trade Headquarters on Coro Island. Of course, your most important responsibility is to study the material that I will provide you.”

“Huh? You will provide us with materials?” Kelvin raised his eyebrows as he scoffed at what Jiang Chen said.

Jiang Chen only smiled at Kelvin’s arrogance without any explanation.

“We’re here, let’s get off the boat.”

Because of the lack of vegetation, the soil here was under constant exposure to sunshine which made it extremely brittle and scorching. Stepping onto the sand away from the port, Ayesha just in sandals felt discomfort. But she didn’t express her discomfort and just slightly frowned.

But the acute change didn’t escape Jiang Chen’s eyes.

“Why don’t you go rest for a bit on the boat? The island is extremely safe, and you don’t have to worry about anything happening to me.” Jiang Chen noticed her uneasiness and caringly whispered into her ear.

Ayesha’s face turned red.

She deliberated for a moment and didn’t insist further. She nodded and accepted the proposal

“Mhmm.”

Jiang Chen watched Ayesha return to the boat and turned around to speak with Kelvin again on route to the plant in the middle of the island.

Jiang Chen pushed open the door, and waved away the dust in front of his face, and opened the metallic blinds on the side of the plant.

When the sunlight scattered into the building, Kelvin noticed a rocket engine placed on the large square frame.

The cylindrical design and bowl-shaped end were slightly smaller than SpaceX’s Falcon engine. It made people suspect if it could really carry the payload.

“What is this?” Kelvin walked up and tapped on the engine.

“The RM-320 rocket engine, the technology I plan to show you.” Jiang Chen passed the tablet containing specifications and 3D visualization to him.

It was the rocket engine Jiang Lin showed Jiang Chen at the Aerospace Technology Research Institute, and the engine used by the Northwind-76 ballistic missile deployed at Shenxiang.

Every screw and every circuit was completely manufactured through 3D printing technology with a cost of 30000 credits. Lin Lin manufactured the fuel used by the rocket at 1000 credits per ton. But because raw materials could be transported from the modern world, the actual cost would be a bit lower.

Because of the appearance of the space elevator, the propulsion engines for aerospace purposes were abandoned at the end of the 21st century. The RM-320 was considered the most advanced aerospace engine from the wasteland.

The engine shell built with advanced materials could withstand 10,000 degrees of high temperature. The combustion chamber could withstand a pressure of up to 500 atmospheres. The most critical was that rockets built with this engine’s thrust weight value could even reach an astounding 1: 300! It is undoubtedly superior compared to the SpaceX Falcon rocket’s ratio of 1: 150!

“This is absurd. This kind of engine cannot be achieved with current technology. What about the materials? A normal engine cannot withstand this type of pressure and temperature… how is this possible… wait, what’s with the rocket fuel’s chemical formula.”

Kelvin’s eyes were locked on the screen as his complexion changed constantly. He sometimes shook his head, sometimes was shocked, sometimes widened his eyes…

Finally, his expression fixated on disbelief.

“This is absurd, no… this is too genius.” He muttered to himself as his hands holding onto the tablet kept shaking, “This must be possible, no, only theoretically possible… But if this can be achieved, Falcon will be a joke. This is too absurd…”

Suddenly, he looked toward Jiang Chen and grabbed Jiang Chen’s arm fervently.

“Please, could you introduce me to the designer of this rocket engine? He is a genius.”

“I will pass your compliments to him, but unfortunately, I can’t introduce you to him yet.” Jiang Chen shook his head.

“Why! Are you afraid I’m not going to be confidential? Be assured, I will sign any confidentiality agreement, please! I have a lot of questions I want to ask him,” Kelvin said ardently.

The contempt on his face when he first got off the yacht no longer existed.

The design philosophy and innovation truly astounded him and shattered his arrogance in technical expertise.

“No, please don’t be mistaken, I trust you. It is just that the designer of the rocket is currently in the middle of a project and doesn’t want to be disturbed… I promise, if there is the opportunity, I will definitely introduce you to him. As to your question, I will provide you with a detailed rocket blueprint. You should be able to find the answer from there. If it still can’t solve your confusion, I can pass on the question for you.” Jiang Chen made something up on the fly.

[Funny, the designer of the rocket was not born yet, where am I going to find one for you?] Once the interdimensional bracelet could transport people, he would just grab Jiang Lin.

“Wait, I have another question, This kind of rocket engine cannot be completed with Xin’s industrial foundation… Even UA’s industrial foundation can’t do it, where did you manufacture this—”

“Right here.” Jiang Chen smiled.

“Just here?” Kelvin was shocked.

“You should have heard of 3D printing before right? The engine right here is manufactured through an industrial grade 3D printer.”

[The 3D printer could print material with high strength? And what is an “Industrial grade 3D printer”?]

Kelvin was completely stunned by the new technology as he temporarily lost his ability to speak.

Jiang Chen coughed to interrupt his thoughts.

“Okay, since you’re done visiting, Mr. Kelvin, our trip for today is over… time to go back.”

“No! Let me stay here! Please!” Kelvin gently caressed the surface of the engine. His ardent expression and action looked like he was caressing his lover’s skin.

Although Jiang Chen was pleased with the fervent attitude of his scientist, he still thought his actions looked a bit gross…

“Mr. Kelvin, I have to remind that there is nothing here. Celestial Trade’s headquarters has air conditioning and an endless amount of coffee. As to the complete blueprint of the engine, even if you are at the office—”

Kelvin rudely interrupted Jiang Chen’s words.

“Just give me a tent, I will sleep here! And please bring the documents here for me, please!”

Jiang Chen tried his hardest to resist laughing as he nodded.

“If you insist.”
