Chapter 13: Unlocking the Reward for Uncle and Nephew Relationship

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Come, Chen Chu, take a seat.” Chen Baijia was wearing home clothes, and his hair was not as stylish as the day before yesterday. Although he had also taken care of it, it was still a little unkempt.

He obviously didn’t use gel and styling water, so he looked a little at home with messy hair. It was a little sloppy, but Chen Baijia immediately became much more down-to-earth.

“Alright, President Chen.” Chen Chu coughed dryly and sat down around the coffee table on Chen Baijia’s left.

Chen Baijia pretended to be unhappy. “Don’t call me President Chen in the future. Do you think I’m not qualified for you to call me Uncle Chen?”

“Ah, this…” Chen Chu felt numb. It was a little stressful to call such an awesome person an uncle. “Uh, okay, Uncle Chen.”

The system notification popped up in Chen Baijia’s mind. [Ding! Relationship has leveled up!]

[Received the first special achievement: Achieving uncle-nephew relationship!]

[Achievement Reward: Three years of lifespan, a full set of picometer intelligent industrial motherbed machines including technical information (Choose one out of two)]

Even with Chen Baijia’s state of mind, his expression changed drastically.

Industrial motherbeds, also known as lathes, which are now special index control lathes or processing centers.

The most precise industrial motherbeds were generally in the hands of Western countries, and technology was strictly blocked.

China had been working hard to develop its own high-end processing technology to avoid being controlled by others. Unfortunately, many high-precision parts, knives, and machines still relied on imports and could easily be strangled.

But the most advanced CNC machine tool technology in the West was only at the nanometer level. The system’s reward was actually a complete set of machines for the industrial motherbed with Picometer-level precision, as well as technical information.

Chen Baijia was short of breath. If he had this picometer-level intelligent industrial motherbed technology as the industrial foundation, many of China’s top-notch technologies would be able to flourish and surpass the world in a short period of time.

The most advanced lithography machine in the West could already make three-nanometer chips?

As long as the industrial motherbed of the picometer-level was implemented domestically, it would be easy to make all kinds of lenses of the picometer-level precise photolithography machine.

At that time, he would make a more powerful graphene chip instead of a silicon-based chip. Ten-nanometer graphene chips could crush five-nanometer silicon-based chips in terms of performance.

Then, how powerful would a few nanometers or even one nanometer of a graphene chip be?

As everyone knew, every time the graphene chip conquered a nanometer of difficulty, its performance would not be improved simply by adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing.

In addition to lithography machines, there was also aerospace technology, engine technology, laser weapon technology, medical device technology, and all the high-precision technologies that could be developed quickly.

Using the Picometer-level manufacturing technology as the foundation, an epoch-making technology building was quickly built with it as the foundation. There was even a full set of industrial software related technologies for this picometer-level intelligent industrial motherbed.

This was an epoch-making industrial software technology that was definitely an era ahead of the world. At that time, it would not be a problem to achieve artificial intelligence manufacturing and processing.

He could even draw inferences from this set of industrial software. He could develop more advanced robot algorithms. At that time, the robots made of picometer-level precision components and advanced robot algorithms would have incomparably perfect stability and an extremely low failure rate.

With the precision and stability of robots, which far exceeded that of humans by countless times, high-quality production and processing technology would promote each other and advance crazily.

It was far ahead of the other countries in the world.

…

Chen Baijia paused for a moment. The wild thoughts in his heart were restrained. The more he looked at Chen Chu, the more satisfied he was. Was this a person? This was the entire world! “Yes, come. Do you know how to make tea?”

Chen Chu quickly waved his hand. “Uncle Chen, I don’t!”

“Watch and learn more.” Chen Baijia did not say anything else and made tea himself.

Although Chen Chu agreed, he muttered in his heart, “You want me to watch and learn more? Are you really going to let me, a guest, make the tea? How could there be a guest brewing tea while you were waiting to drink tea? We’re not family.”

Chen Baijia showed off his tea skills. In the end, he poured out two cups of tea, dazzling Chen Chu. “How does it taste?”

Chen Chu quickly took it with both hands, blew on it, and pretended to take a sip. “It’s delicious.”

“Does it just taste good?”

Chen Chu said honestly, “Ah, is it not tasty?”

Chen Baijia had a helpless expression on his face. “You’re really like a cow chewing on a peony. I made such good tea leaves for you for nothing.” Chen Chu felt awkward. Chen Baijia sighed. “Drink, drink. I was wrong to chat with you youngsters.”

What could Chen Chu do? He really didn’t like tea. He liked the milk tea with black tea, green tea, and Pu’er. However, he did not dare to say it out loud. He was afraid that Chen Baijia would chase him out.

“Have you had breakfast?” Chen Baijia asked. He probably knew the habits of young people nowadays.

Chen Chu hesitated for a moment before answering honestly, “No.”

“Auntie Li!” Chen Baijia called out.

“Sir, what’s the matter?” Nanny Li quickly came up from downstairs.

“Tell the cook to make more breakfast.”

“Yes, sir.” Nanny Li was still waiting to see if Chen Baijia had any other instructions.

“Uncle Chen, isn’t this too troublesome?” Chen Chu asked uncomfortably. This was the first time he came to visit, and he even got a free breakfast. Wasn’t that bad?

“There’s someone at home who hasn’t woken up yet. You’re not an exception.” Chen Baijia felt a little helpless.

Chen Chu did not ask who it was. He could roughly guess that it was Chen Baijia’s son or daughter.

Chen Baijia said to Nanny Li, “Go and wake Youlu up for dinner.”

Nanny Li responded and went to do her work. Chen Chu was speechless. This rich man asked the nanny to do everything. How lazy. However, the salary of a rich family’s nanny must be very high, right?

“Don’t drink tea if you haven’t eaten yet. Come, have some water.” Chen Baijia poured him a glass of water while he slowly sipped his tea.

“Thank you, Uncle Chen.” Chen Chu quickly took it.

“Other than studying, is there anything else you’re interested in?”

Chen Chu thought for a moment. He couldn’t possibly say that he liked to play games on his phone, right? In the eyes of others, wouldn’t this be unprofessional? Hence, he said, “If I’m free at night, I’ll take a walk. If I’m free during the day, I’ll play basketball and climb mountains.”

Chen Baijia gave a half-smile. “You didn’t play with your phone?”

Chen Chu felt awkward and gestured with his little finger. “I just play for a while.”

Chen Baijia did not say anything either. Did he really think that he could not tell the meaning of ‘a while’?

At this moment, a lazy yawn came from the stairs beside him. “Dad, you’re so annoying. It’s finally the weekend. Can’t you let me sleep a little longer?”

Chen Chu looked straight ahead, determined not to peek in that direction. Otherwise, it would give off a very wretched feeling.

“Chen Chu, let me introduce you. This is my youngest daughter, Chen Youlu. She just graduated from university and is single. She hasn’t dated anyone yet.”

Chen Chu felt strange. Did you need to say whether your daughter was dating someone? He did not think that Chen Baijia would introduce his daughter to him after only knowing him for two days.

Chen Chu knew that he was not worthy. He smiled awkwardly and looked over. Only then did he see what Chen Baijia’s daughter looked like. She was a tall and fair girl. She looked like a neighbor as she yawned against the stairs.

As for her appearance, Chen Chu didn’t know how to describe it. Was she fair, thin, and beautiful? In short, the word ‘extremely good-looking’ summarized the matter.

Actually, before Chen Chu came to Chen Baijia’s house, he had imagined what the children of rich families were like. Was it indifference, perhaps aloofness, or pride? Polite? Humble? Arrogant?

What kind of attitude would she have towards someone from an ordinary family like him? Disdain? Disregard? Disgust?
