Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 465 - 31: New Inventions

"Here it is."

Chu River nodded to the grandparent and grandchild, and casually placed the blackboard brick back before obediently sitting back at the dining table, eagerly waiting.

What?

What ’here it is’?

How is it just here?

Professor Zheng was still looking bewildered; Little Xuan had already started searching on the ground. Very quickly, he found a little grain of rice that looked almost the same color as the uneven cement floor:

"Grandpa, is this it?"

Professor Zheng widened his eyes and leaned in for a closer look: It really was!

The gray little screw was so inconspicuous in his grandson’s dust-covered palm! Luckily, they found it, as their country didn’t have sufficient technology. Specially designed precision parts like this one were all handcrafted by eighth-level technicians. Losing just one would mean waiting a long time, delaying countless matters.

Wait a minute!

Now the focus wasn’t just on this little screw.

"How did you find it?"

He looked at Chu River, his drooping eyelids raised in surprise.

Chu River: ?

She replied matter-of-factly, "I saw parts on your table and just happened to put together a sensing device, saving the trouble of looking for it on the ground. Not to mention it’s dust-covered and hard to find. We’ll be eating soon; the dishes are going to get cold."

Having said that, she looked at the dishes beside her expectantly, full of enthusiasm.

"Quickly, wash your hands and eat."

...

Now, it’s not about the food anymore.

Professor Zheng immediately leaned back over the table, turning the strange blackboard brick over and over.

The craftsmanship was truly rough.

All the parts on the table were pieced together in a makeshift way. Professor Zheng was afraid the whole thing would fall apart if he wasn’t careful when he picked it up.

Looking again at the connection points inside, there were several mismatched parts with low matching requirements that were forcefully deformed to barely slot into place for connection...

If this were a finished product, it would be scrapped after just two uses.

But the question is, has it even been half an hour since Chu River entered?

Even if you piece things together forcefully, having worked in this field all his life, he couldn’t achieve that.

Oh, my!

The savior turned out to be such a genius!

The country has wasted so much talent!

He lay on the table, unable to part with the blackboard brick in his hands, analyzing the role of each part one by one—

Magnetic induction, infrared detection...

!!!

Infrared detection! Micro-magnetic beam induction!

This is also the direction Professor Zheng is currently pursuing. After a long wait, the country finally managed to procure some infrared detection components from abroad...

But the problem is, they’re just basic materials!

How to use them, how to combine them... none of these have been figured out yet, so how did it suddenly work today?!

Professor Zheng’s eyes sparkled; it was as if he saw the dawn of the project.

However, when he turned his head again, there was an empty bowl in front of the dawn, staring at him along with his grandson, both with displeased expressions.

...

As a glue for adult emotions, Little Xuan felt he endured too much at his young age.

Seeing the dark clouds gather around Teacher Xiao Chu, he hastily sighed to his grandfather, "Grandpa, not being eager to eat demonstrates a problem in thinking."

Professor Zheng was already engrossed, casually waving his hand, "You eat first, I’ll ask Teacher Xiao Chu a few questions."

"A few questions, huh."

Chu River was quite unhappy—this dinner invitation was insincere, she should have just gone to the cafeteria for her meal!

Professor Zheng remained oblivious, "This infrared detection..."

"Hungry, can’t understand what you’re saying."

Professor Zheng: ...

How can she not understand it?

He looked over anxiously, only to see Little Xuan staring at him, full of helplessness, "Grandpa, today we’re supposed to be treating Teacher Xiao Chu to a meal."

"Oh! Oh! Oh!"

Professor Zheng suddenly came to his senses, quickly looked at the table, and hurriedly took out food tickets and money from his pocket, "Little Xuan, when we’re treating Teacher Xiao Chu to a meal, how can we just serve this bit of food? Quickly, take these food and meat tickets to the cafeteria and ask the chef to quickly make us a meat dish."

He smiled at Chu River, "Teacher Xiao Chu, please bear with us for a moment."

Meat dish?!

That would definitely taste better than vermicelli with minced meat and scrambled eggs!

She was instantly satisfied, "It’s okay, it’s okay, good food is worth the wait—good kid, go and get the food now! Ever since you entered the nursery school, I knew you were a smart kid!"

Little Xuan: ...

Adults really are such a headache.

...

Seeing the cloud of tension lift from Teacher Xiao Chu’s face, Professor Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly handed over the rugged blackboard brick:

"Teacher Xiao Chu, I don’t understand how these two parts work together, could you explain?"
