Chapter 1065: Family
After Nangong Ruiyang's team received support from multiple technology pools for the Crystal Jet project, they were reinvigorated to start anew. On Chen Fei's side, the AI "Adam" also initiated a simulation route, not only for the Crystal Jet but also for various models of combat spaceships, combat mobility armor, and combat mechs, integrating these tactical units' technologies and simulating the actual combat effectiveness against the "Sagali" civilization.
Having engaged with the "Sagali" multiple times, it wasn't just about finishing the fight. As a professional warfare AI, "Adam" has collected quite a bit of data and re-simulated a Solar System and Alien Stars using the latest version of the real-world physics engine, repeatedly simulating wars with the "Sagali" civilization.
Previously, such simulation calculations required massive computational resources, and with Chen Fei's resources, it would be impossible to sustain. But now, with the computational power of a "planetary-level compute node," AI "Adam" can splurge freely. Despite this, the maximum load of the "planetary-level compute node" still doesn't exceed 1%, after all, it can handle the computing resources of an entire planetary civilization.
During Chen Fei's lifetime, it's unlikely he will ever see a 100% load capacity.
Following Chen Fei on a spontaneous trip, Shen Fei was somewhat excited and curious. Riding on the small flying ship is as convenient as a private jet, truly saving a lot of time.
Traveling from the economic zone city where the Northern Weapons Industry Group headquarters is located to the economic zone city where Chen Fei's parents live, they picked up Chen Meng on the way. The total air travel time did not exceed one and a half hours.
If possible, have breakfast at Shen Fei's house in the morning, lunch and dinner at Chen Family's home, and Shen Fei can still return home to sleep at night.
Upon meeting her future sister-in-law, Little Sister Chen was initially a bit reserved, but with Pure Light Sparrow Xiao Jiu as a lubricant, the two quickly closed the distance, chatting enthusiastically, three little birds, oh no, two people and one bird "chirping merrily."
A Human Position Ninth Order Magical Beast still couldn't escape the clutches of Little Sister Chen.
Switching from the public airport to ground vehicles, they arrived at Chen Fei's home just in time for lunch.
"Xiao Shen, come sit down, come sit down, it's time to eat!"
Having received a call from Chen Fei earlier, Mother Chen learned that his future second daughter-in-law had already gone to a large nearby market early in the morning and returned with lots of groceries, using all her cooking skills for the entire morning.
Seeing Shen Fei's appearance, there was no dissatisfaction; her busy morning was well worth it. She hurriedly invited them to sit down.
"Shen Fei, this is my mom, and my dad. This one is my eldest brother, elder sister-in-law, and there's the baby. Everyone, I've brought my girlfriend home."
As they took their seats, Chen Fei introduced his family to Shen Fei one by one.
"Hello, Aunt, Hello, Uncle, Hello..."
Smiling throughout, Shen Fei's facial muscles were about to go numb, but fortunately, it was only temporary.
With three siblings, they represented an average family size. During the period of an only child, the entire home was cold and desolate. If the children were successful, it was fine, but if they raised trouble makers, the family would almost end there. Unlike now, if the eldest doesn't succeed, there is the second; if the second doesn't, there is the third, offering some options.
Chen Fei's mother Yu Xiaoyi pretended to be angry and said, "This second child, once he went out, he was like a kite with a broken string, said he found a girlfriend, who knows if it's true or false."
"Chen Fei has also been busy; I've always wanted to visit, and now finally there's a chance, isn't there?"
As a village primary school teacher, Shen Fei's cultivated affinity was undeniable, coaxing Mother Chen into smiling broadly.
"Second Brother, is Shen Fei's father's work alright with our Uncle's side?"
Elder Brother Chen was concerned about Shen Fei's father's work unit at the Northern Weapons Industry Group and its competitive relationship with Uncle's National Defense Star Aerospace Company. Colleague companies were natural enemies, and dating someone associated with high-level personnel could easily give outsiders ideas.
Such thoughts were not only present with Chen Shi; even the Northern Weapons Industry Group executives had considered this initially. Naturally, there was some sensitivity at first, but as time went by, it gradually faded. Nowadays, the attitude turned to going with the flow, neither blocking nor interfering nor discussing.
After all, marriage is a personal matter, and the group company isn't in a position to interfere.
"No problem!"
Chen Fei gave Elder Brother a reassuring look.
If there were a problem, Shen Fei's father would have brought it up long ago. Until now, he had said nothing, meaning the company's higher-ups wouldn't interfere, nor would they affect Father Shen; even if there were influence, the identity of the company's deputy general manager was enough to withstand it.
"If worse comes to worse, I'll find Elder Brother and have him help; it shouldn't be a big deal."
Chen Fei's father Chen Haishang was unusually generous this time. He and Elder Brother Chen Haiqing were biological brothers; they wouldn't bother each other with ordinary matters. But at critical moments, family helps each other. The level of high-level conversations, such as Second Brother and the daughter of the deputy general manager, should be accommodating and not troublesome.
"Don't worry, everything's arranged properly."
Chen Fei had just reaped benefits from the Northern Weapons Industry Group's technology pool; they wouldn't care about such small matters.
"Mom, Second Brother is biased, he found a Magical Beast for his sister-in-law as a pet, but I want one too!"
You really picked the sore spot; after sitting at the table, Little Sister Chen took the chance to complain about Second Brother.
"Ah Mao, come out!"
Shen Fei smiled and tapped her foot lightly; from the shadow under her chair, a large wolf suddenly leaped out, startling the Chen Family.
Elder Brother Chen eyed the creature that emerged from under Shen Fei's shadow in amazement, "Whoa, what a big black dog!"
"Dog? I don't think it looks right!"
Chen Shi and their father Chen Haishang had seen more of the world, realizing that this "dog's" face showed an obvious ferocity, not like the dumb, clueless appearance of native dogs (those that looked too vicious were slaughtered for meat; dogs are livestock, appearance matters).
The Shadow Wolf appeared and shook its fur, sitting quietly beside the chair.
"Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! I want woof woof!"
The baby in Elder Sister-in-law's arms stared fixedly at the Shadow Wolf, flailing and starting to shout.
This age of a child is when they start getting mischievous, seeing something novel, they do not take their eyes off it and forget everything else.
Shen Fei explained, "It's a wolf, Shadow Wolf, Human Position Fourth Order. Chen Fei found it at the place we worked before; it's not common. It's not my pet, but my bodyguard."
The Human Position Fourth Order Dark Element Magical Beast Shadow Wolf was perfect as a bodyguard, having already protected her from several troubles. Anyone with a bit of brains wouldn't dare provoke a magical beast; they consider not only the beast, but also the background of the beast's owner—an intangible deterrent.
"Look, look, a Human Position Fourth Order Magical Beast, I want one, I want one, I want one too..."
Chen Meng seized the moment to rebel, asking Second Brother to find her a majestic black wolf like this, even a big dog would do.
