Chapter 1153 The Minature Holy s.h.i.+eld
Even after they had cleaned up the dishes, the family still didn’t manage to decide who would accompany Jiang Chen to Shangjing.
Jiang Chen then went to the washroom.
Just as he pushed open the door again and planned to go upstairs, he saw Lin Lin standing in the hallway.
She didn’t look like she was waiting to go to the washroom, but instead was waiting for him.
Jiang Chen looked at Lin Lin strangely, then asked.
“Is something up?”
“Follow me, I have something for you.”
Lin Lin did not wait for Jiang Chen to answer and headed straight to the backyard.
Jiang Chen did not understand what her intention was as he looked at her back. However, since Lin Lin was not Xiaorou after all, she wouldn’t be pulling a prank on him.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Chen Chen followed Lin Lin curiously to the backyard.
The Moon scattered its light in the silent night. The north wind pa.s.sed through the spa.r.s.e branches of the autumn leaves and disturbed the previous silence.
The cold air sneaked into Jiang Chen’s neck along the collar of his s.h.i.+rt as he instantly felt the coolness of the night. Looking at Lin Lin’s slender and thin back, Jiang Chen took a coat with a fluffy collar from the storage dimension and covered her.
Perhaps the cold fingers accidentally touched her neck, Lin Lin shook like a startled rabbit and jumped forward. She then turned around and stared straight at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen put down the hands hanging in the air and looked at her.
“What’s wrong?”
“No, nothing…” Lin Lin grabbed the collar of the coat with both hands and tightened it around her to hide her cheek in the fluff. Through the fluff, she whispered, “What, what did you do?”
“What did I do? I was afraid that you would be cold.”
“…” Lin Lin said. “Actually… I’m not afraid of the cold.”
“I almost forgot,” Jiang Chen said, “You are a digitalized human.”
For a digitalized human, it should be easy for her to regulate her body temperature. In this way, his behavior seems to be extraneous.
However, for some odd reason, after she heard Jiang Chen’s words, Lin Lin’s cheeks suddenly turned red and she started to act shy.
“Really?”
“Really? Really what.”
“You said, you almost…” She whispered halfway before she suddenly stopped. Then she looked up to Jiang Chen, shook her heads, and cheerfully smiled. “Oh, nothing.”
“What?” Jiang Chen did not hear her words clearly and continued to stare at her. “Right, give back my clothes since you don’t need it anyway.”
“Not giving it back!” Lin Lin giggled and jumped forward. She then turned around, spat out her tongue, and made a funny face. “Not giving it back, it is now mine! Come and get it if you can~”
The long silver hair exuded a faint silver glow in the moonlight, and with her innocent hops, it flowed like waves on the sandy beach.
Jiang Chen twitched at the scene of Lin Lin hopping in front of him.
How can I get it!
If I really got it off of her body, I’d be a pervert?!
“Forget it, it’s yours now,” Jiang Chen sighed, “You said you were going to give me something? This coat is my gift to you.”
He didn’t wear that coat many times anyway. It was just something he kept in the storage dimension as a spare.
Since Lin Lin liked it, it was hers to keep.
The two pa.s.sed through the backyard and came to the Lin Inst.i.tute.
When they walked into the lab, Lin Lin closed the door and immediately walked in front of a computer and tapped a few b.u.t.tons on the touchpad. The dark green data loading bar flashed through the holographic screen, and several characters made up the dialog box popped up in front of Lin Lin.
It was also the same time Lin Lin clicked the last b.u.t.ton.
Soon, the black box next to her began to make the sound of gas leaking.
Milky white mist escaped from the edges. The black lacquered lid slowly moved backward.
From the gas that floated toward him, Jiang Chen felt a hint of coolness.
In the mist, a black cube rested inside. Its size was no different from a Rubik’s cube, but the engraving had a sense of mechanical perfection. Jiang Chen couldn’t guess what it was just by looking at its appearance alone.
Lin Lin walked next to it and picked up the cube from the cooling trough.
Immediately afterward, Lin Lin stepped in front of Jiang Chen, reached out, and solemnly handed the cube into his hand. With a generous expression, she said.
“Here, yours now.”
That expression made it look like this item was extremely valuable.
Jiang Chen was confused as he weighed the Rubik’s Cube in his hand and the coldness permeated through his skin.
“What is this?”
“Something amazing!” Lin Lin proudly raised her small chest, proud. “You can wear it on you.”
“How can such a big thing be worn on the body,” Jiang Chen looked at the Rubik’s Cube in his hand and turned it around a few times. “And, what is this?”
“A s.h.i.+eld generator, I removed it from the Holy s.h.i.+eld System and printed one with 3D printing technology,” Lin Lin said proudly.
The restoration work of the Holy s.h.i.+eld System was far more troublesome than imagined. Although the Guardian Sect mastered information about the system, it was not until the beginning of the restoration process that the two parties discovered the difficulty of restoring the entire system.
As a research center of NAC’s cutting-edge technology, Lin Lin and her two thousand sisters, of course, also partic.i.p.ated in the restoration work of the Holy s.h.i.+eld System. In Jiang Chen’s hand was a sub-generator of the Holy s.h.i.+eld System.
After Lin Lin’s modification, the generator was reduced to the size of a two-meters radius. Without any attack power, it could defend against nuclear weapons at medium and long distances.
“If there is any danger, you can twist here.”
Lin Lin took the black cube back and twisted the top half halfway.
Light blue particles began to s.h.i.+mmer like fireflies, The particles emerged from the air one after another and surrounded the two. In the center of the laboratory, the particles formed a circle of soap bubbles-like film.
The pale blue light curtain began to take shape, and it was even possible to see reflections on the thin film.
Jiang Chen was astonished.
“This is the Holy s.h.i.+eld…”
“The miniature version of the Holy s.h.i.+eld. You can interpret it this way.” Lin Lin added.
Jiang Chen extended his right hand, but when he touched the film, he stopped and looked back at Lin Lin. With his eyes, he asked if he could do this. Lin Lin responded with a smile before Jiang Chen pressed his hand against the thin film
A very soft feeling. It was completely unimaginable that this thin, gauze s.h.i.+eld could withstand nuclear attacks. Jiang Chen tried to use force, but even as his hand pressed against the film, he could not push out at all.
Surprised, Jiang Chen knocked on the thin film and looked at the ripples, astonished.
“What is the principle behind this?”
“What you’re touching is a layer of ‘Graviton’. The high-energy ‘graviton’ layer can prevent energy and material from penetrating and forces it to bypa.s.s the target. In the strict sense, this layer of the s.h.i.+eld is a solidified version of a force field.” Lin Lin explained the working principle with technical terminology that Jiang Chen could not understand.
Jiang Chen, as if seemingly understood, nodded, and immediately asked her the question he was most concerned about.
“Can this work on vehicles?”
Lin Lin shook her head.
“No. Moving will change the state of the s.h.i.+eld generator, which will cause the s.h.i.+eld to fail. The specific explanation is very troublesome, but it works like this.” Lin Lin gently shook the black box in her hand.
The s.h.i.+eld was like a layer of gel hit by a bullet, fading like ripples. It was not until Lin Lin stopped did the s.h.i.+eld regenerate.
The regenerated s.h.i.+eld pushed Jiang Chen’s hand back into the s.h.i.+eld.
Looking at the light blue film, Jiang Chen sighed and gave up the idea of putting this on tanks
In a moving environment, it was almost impossible to not change the motion state of an object. A b.u.mp could disperse the s.h.i.+eld. It was obviously not meaningful to have such a s.h.i.+eld on the tank. Perhaps this was the reason Pan-Asia Cooperation used the Holy s.h.i.+eld as a land-based urban defense system and didn’t implement it into the battlefield.
After Lin Lin removed the s.h.i.+eld, she walked next to Jiang Chen and gave him the Rubik’s cube.
“In short,” Lin Lin bit her lip and hesitated for a moment. Then, she finally made up her mind, looked away, and whispered, “Come back safely.”
The quiet murmur made Jiang Chen stop.
Such thoughtful words didn’t fit Lin Lin’s style.
The usual her would be showing off the technical content of the s.h.i.+eld technology with technical terms he didn’t understand, stare at Jiang Chen, as if he were primitive, then mock him before she finally asked for mango puddings as a reward…
Today, however, she was very unusual.
“Why…why are you looking at me?” Seeing Jiang Chen was staring at her, Lin Lin whispered.
Jiang Chen suddenly extended his hand and rubbed her head.
“That’s enough, I’m just going on a trip. Don’t make it feel like a life or death situation. You’re making me nervous.”
With a red face, Lin Lin bit her lower lip, tightened her fists, and slammed her fists against Jiang Chen’s chest.
“I’m trying to care about you! No, who, who cares about you! Humph!…”
Halfway through her words, Lin Lin’s tone suddenly softened.
Her two small fists were held by Jiang Chen’s palms.
Feeling the warmth, the pair of tightened fists trembled and gradually loosened.
Strange, digitalized humans shouldn’t feel hot…
“I will definitely come back safely.”
Jiang Chen gently squeezing Lin Lin’s little hands and responded to the eyes escaping around. Then he smiled.
“I promise you.”
