Chapter 670: Chapter 670: Fire Dragon Crash
No need to cook dinner tonight, Zhou Yaling was thrilled to bits. Although they couldn’t go out, they could enjoy a grand meal delivered from the hotel, and Candy naturally thought that was pretty good too.
Then, with only one TV, at this time of day, Zhou Yaling and Candy had no choice but to watch the news with Mo Jingchun.
At first, Candy suggested playing a game together, but needless to say, Zhou Yaling forbade it strictly.
Staring at the dull and insipid news, Candy waited in disbelief for almost an hour before the hotel’s meal was finally delivered.
As soon as her sister opened the insulated box, Candy exclaimed, "I smell spicy crawfish."
"Smells delicious!"
Mo Jingchun smiled slightly, "You have the sharpest nose."
"No, no, no, Little Grey’s dog nose is the best."
"Right, Little Grey?"
Little Grey, lying under the sofa, dashed out the door without a sound.
"Hahaha."
"The dog doesn’t care."
"So annoying!" Candy stood with her hands on her hips, watching helplessly as Little Grey ran away.
"Arguing with a dog, really ambitious!" Mo Jingchun rolled his eyes in disdain.
"Crawfish should be eaten hot. They don’t taste good when cold."
"Wow, such a big portion!"
After dinner, the three of them lazily leaned back on the sofa, not wanting to move.
Five pounds of crawfish, the three of them finished it all without leaving a single one.
Holding onto her bloated belly, Candy chuckled, "Brother, how about we go to the market tomorrow and buy crayfish for sister to cook?"
"Not really." Mo Jingchun yawned and said, "If you eat too much, it doesn’t taste good."
Candy really wanted to say she hadn’t had enough, but after a little thought, she kept her thoughts to herself.
----------------------------------
At the end of August, the intense summer heat hadn’t diminished yet, but occasional heavy rains could bring a touch of coolness to people.
In Candy Technology’s outdoor parking lot, there were two additional medium-sized school buses yesterday, and those gigantic dog head designs were unusually ugly.
When Candy first learned that this was the school bus she would have to take every day, her face turned green.
Her little mind couldn’t comprehend how such an ugly school bus could exist in the world, but her brother said this bus is very durable and the safest model currently available.
Changing it was out of the question. Although very ugly, Candy could only accept it grudgingly.
Six years, she would have to take this "broken bus" for six years!
In the office, Mo Jingchun was watching the annual mobile chip launch event closely.
Next to Mo Jingchun, Candy had also brought a stool, watching very intently.
Glancing at the fully immersed Candy, Mo Jingchun smiled and asked, "Do you understand any of this?"
"Nope, not at all."
Hearing this, Mo Jingchun twitched the corners of his mouth. Watching so intently despite not understanding it, acting as if she did.
"Brother, don’t you think those circuits are amazing, really beautiful?"
"Yes, this is the pinnacle of human technological achievement."
At the launch, the new generation Fire Dragon chip showed improvements in all data compared to the previous generation, but anyone could see that Fire Dragon was just squeezing toothpaste again this year.
With no competition, both Fire Dragon and the other brand had gotten used to slacking off in recent years.
The data looks impressive; no surprise, Fire Dragon will crash again this year.
This wasn’t said by Mo Jingchun, but by countless netizens. Of course, Mo Jingchun was also one of those netizens.
The day after the launch, the new generation Fire Dragon chip’s scores appeared online.
An astounding score of 1.96 million, decidedly "overpowered" again. Yet, these overpowered phones become sluggish as dogs after a while.
Seeing the terrifying power consumption data, probably Fire Dragon’s nickname won’t be shed again this year.
Mo Jingchun wanted to support the domestic development of lithography machines, but most of the relevant patents are tightly locked by foreign countries. Even if you know the technology, without permission, unauthorized use of others’ patents would result in huge fines.
Moreover, regarding lithography machines, Mo Jingchun didn’t know much either. Without the technology, what sort of support are we talking about?
The information about quantum chips was kept tightly guarded at the top. Even for him, he only had vague answers; whether quantum chips actually existed, truthfully, Mo Jingchun wasn’t sure either.
That afternoon, Mo Jingchun learned the detailed test results of the new Fire Dragon from President Lei.
Performance improvements were a fact, but correspondingly, temperatures also increased.
"Brother, brother."
Just then, Candy came running in with enthusiasm, cradling something unknown in her hands.
Mo Jingchun took a closer look, and it moved a bit.
"What are you holding?"
"It’s a little sparrow, brother."
Candy carefully placed the dying sparrow on the desk, her eyes filled with distress.
Seeing the sparrow with blood at the corner of its mouth, Mo Jingchun raised an eyebrow, "Did you catch it?"
"I’m not capable of that."
Candy gently poked the little sparrow with her finger, saying with a heart full of pity: "The little sparrow fell on its own."
"With a bang, it hit the glass in the first-floor lobby. If I hadn’t acted fast, it would’ve been bitten by Little Grey."
Seeing Little Grey wagging its tail proudly, Candy couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
"Put it outside in the grass, it won’t survive."
This sparrow is really stubborn. The tempered glass in the first-floor lobby isn’t completely transparent. I’ve never heard of birds hitting the glass.
Look, a bald patch where it hit its head, if it survives, it would be a miracle.
"Little sparrow, even brother can’t help you, rest in peace."
Under the tree shade, Candy sighed, placed the little sparrow on the grass, thoughtfully plucked two leaves to put over it, and felt something was still missing, so she ran into the flowerbeds and picked a flower right in front of the garden staff.
The gardener silently turned away to prune other branches.
Back under the tree shade, Candy was dumbfounded, where’s the little sparrow? A fist-sized sparrow, just gone like that.
"Feiyan, have you seen my little sparrow?"
"Just flew away a moment ago."
Candy joyfully said, "Really?"
"Yes, indeed."
Feiyan, telling a lie without missing a beat, even glanced at a cleaning lady walking away in the corner of her eye.
"Sigh, made me sad for nothing."
The little one’s mouth said she was sad, but her face revealed two cute little dimples.
Seeing Candy return, Mo Jingchun looked up and said, "Lost it?"
"Hehe, brother, you guessed wrong."
"The little sparrow is okay, it flew away by itself."
"???" Could it really survive even with blood still in its mouth? Just now it didn’t look like it could live at all.
It’s really strange.
However, at the next moment, Zero’s voice came through the Bluetooth headset, and Mo Jingchun kept his composure without inquiring further.
He just knew it couldn’t possibly have survived. Probably only naive Candy didn’t think too deeply about it.
