Chapter 7: Did He Really Think That He Could Build a Rocket?

The morning had not even been over since the program began.

However, two people had already shown their savage side.

The Russian novelist was also showing signs of collapse.

He suddenly grabbed the manuscript of his hand-written novel and tore it into pieces with both hands.

With a wave of his hand, he threw it into the air.

Then he looked at the empty table, lost in thought.

The chairman of the British company, Aaron Bob, was in the supermarket, putting food into a backpack.

After he took the food, he kicked the shelf.

Right then, the bullet screen became lively again.

The audience shifted their attention back to Raymond, who was reading a book.

The title of the book was, “Basic Theory of Motorized Systems.”

The audience was dumbfounded.

What was going on?

“Holy sh*t, has he really gone crazy?”

“I’ve thought of countless possibilities… I assumed that he was going to read adult materials and survival books. I wouldn’t even be too surprised if he wanted to learn mathematics. But now, he’s actually reading on the theory of motorized systems?”

“What is he planning to do? No, I just want to know what he can do with such knowledge. Is there anyone who can explain it to me?”

“I have an idea, but I can’t explain it. You better find someone else.”

“This is really f*cking hilarious.”

The world’s guest commentator said, “I’m not surprised at Contestant Raymond’s actions. After all, how many people from the slums have normal brains? His behavior is extremely in line with his upbringing.”

“Actually, I think that Raymond has already broken down. He fell apart earlier than any other contestant.”

“However, the way he’s broken down isn’t like that of most people. It’s more like a silent breakdown. Since it’s not a large-scale breakdown, he’s not particularly violent.”

Many people agreed with this point of view.

They thought that Raymond had really crumbled.

After all, it was one thing for him to learn the basic theory of motorized systems, but he had even flipped through the abnormal sections.

It could be said that he was read ten lines with each glance.

What could he learn by reading this way? What could he learn?

Soon, he finished flipping through the thick book.

…..

Raymond put the Basic Theory of Motorized Systems aside and stretched.

He looked at the time. Only ten minutes had passed.

Time did not seem to pass quickly.

Yet, when he was immersed in the Super Learning State earlier, time seemed to pass very quickly. It felt like more than ten hours had gone by.

During that period of time, he had fully comprehended the information in the Basic Theory of Motorized Systems.

He had many ideas in his mind.

He knew that this was due to the system’s help.

‘System, what should I do next?’ Raymond asked in his heart.

[Host, please consolidate the knowledge that you have learned and draw the design of the rocket engine.

[A rocket engine and a spaceship engine have something in common. However, the engine of a spaceship is thousands of times more precise than the engine of a rocket.

[Your current knowledge is not sufficient for you to draw the design of a spaceship engine. Therefore, let us start with a rocket engine.]

Raymond understood.

It was like walking and running.

Even though both of them required the use of legs, people naturally had to learn how to walk before they could learn how to run.

There needed to be a step-by-step process.

After all, one bite could not make a man fat.

No doubt, it was impossible to build a spaceship.

It was a process of going from zero to one.

Raymond later found a stack of A4 papers in the library and placed four or five pieces on the ground.

Basically, a huge area was needed to mark out a rocket engine. A single piece of paper was too small for the sketch.

After he put them together, he taped them together on the back so that the whole thing would not move.

He also found some auxiliary tools such as a compass ruler and some pencils.

Fortunately, it was the largest library in the city. There were all kinds of tools and books inside.

Otherwise, Raymond would have been in a difficult position.

Once everything was ready, he took out a pencil and began to draw on the first A4 paper.

“A rocket engine is a jet engine that uses the principle of momentum, and it carries its own propellant without relying on outside air. A rocket engine is a type of jet engine that turns the reactant (propellant) in a propellant tank or vehicle into a high-speed jet. The thrust is generated by Newton’s third law of motion…”

When he began to draw the design, a large amount of relevant information automatically appeared in his mind.

The information seemed to form countless symbols in his mind, weaving around and colliding with each other to produce new ideas.

This knowledge was already at Raymond’s fingertips, and using his brain, as well as his arms, he expressed it on paper in the form of patterns.

His drawing was neat and meticulous, even more perfect than those drawn by real designers.

They were filled with a mechanic kind of beauty.

However, he did not realize that not far from him, a miniature pinhole camera had captured his whole drawing and shown it to the entire human race through a live broadcast.

At that moment, the audience was dumbfounded.

They watched as Raymond read book after book on mechanics and thermodynamics.

They watched as Raymond searched for white paper and pencils in the library.

They also watched as he calmed himself down and began to draw on the A4 paper.

Countless people did not know what to say for a moment.

Then, the bullet screen was filled with comments.

All of them consisted of a loss for words or question marks.

After a long while, the bullet comments returned to normal, and the audience started to discuss.

“Oh, my God! What is he drawing? It looks like an engine? I’m not sure.”

“It’s an engine, and judging from the structural direction and the markings, it appears to be the engine of a rocket?”

“No way… What is this contestant trying to do? Why is he drawing that? Has he really gone mad? As expected, we really can’t guess the thoughts of the poor. Every step he takes has exceeded our expectations. Amazing, amazing!”

“Regardless of what he’s doing, he can’t possibly think that he can draw a rocket engine just because he’s read a few books on mechanics and thermodynamics, right?”

“No way, no way. Don’t tell me that someone really thinks that they can fly just because they know some theoretical knowledge?”

The bullet comments were densely packed.

Some people had made out the starting point of Raymond’s drawing of a rocket engine, while others thought that he had gone completely mad.

There was a lot of controversy.

Most of the people in the group did not know anything about mechanics or thermodynamics.

Those who knew what mechanics were, however, did not even blink.

They just stared at the screen.

They all watched as the outline of a rocket engine design began to take form on paper, and Raymond filled in the details on the formed outline.

The lines were densely packed, and the structure was comprehensive.
