Soon after, Dr. Ronald, dressed in a researcher's white coat, arrived at the door.
"Mike!" Dr. Ronald called out from a distance, "Why are you here? Do you have any questions you don't understand?"
Evidently, Dr. Ronald misunderstood; he thought Mike had co to him for guidance.
After all, before they parted ways last ti, he had promised that dford's students could seek help in Houston.
"Not really," Mike said, shaking his head slightly. "This ti, Sheldon mainly has sothing to discuss with you."
"Oh, the child with the excellent mory." Dr. Ronald then looked at Sheldon and said with a kind smile, "Little friend, I rember you."
Listening to Dr. Ronald's tone, Sheldon realized that the other party was still treating him like a child. So he tightened his small face and glared at him with dissatisfaction.
However, Sheldon's display of displeasure was completely lost on Dr. Ronald.
Dr. Ronald casually bypassed him, communicated a few words with George, who had arrived, and then led the three to his office.
After having his assistant serve drinks to the three, Dr. Ronald asked, "Now, can you tell the purpose of your visit?"
Sheldon had been waiting for this mont. He took out the prepared docunt, placed it in front of the other party, and said, "This is 'Rocket Launch Plan 2.0.' Please review it."
"Interesting..." Dr. Ronald looked at Sheldon's serious deanor, and his attitude also beca much more serious.
Regarding his professional field, Dr. Ronald carefully flipped through the docunt.
"Oh, what a genius design..." As Dr. Ronald reviewed the docunt, a look of surprise slowly appeared on his face.
After he finished reading all the content, only an expression of admiration remained on his face: "Mike, did you and Sheldon complete this?"
"In fact, this is a plan Sheldon completed independently; I just provided so references," Mike said truthfully.
anwhile, Sheldon, on the side, proudly lifted his chin.
"Truly astonishing." Dr. Ronald looked at Sheldon and said, "I take back my previous underestimation of you. You are a... very special child."
"I accept your apology," Sheldon got what he wanted and felt very comfortable, even the discomfort in his stomach disappeared.
Imdiately, with his mind at ease, he was about to call his dad and Mike to leave.
"Wait, Sheldon. There are many parts of this plan that I don't quite understand. Can you explain them to ?" When it ca to his professional field, Dr. Ronald revealed his rigorous side.
"Of course," Sheldon arrogantly stood up, walked to the only small blackboard in the office, and adopted the deanor of a little teacher: "You can ask any questions you have."
Then, as the two engaged in a question-and-answer session, ti slowly passed. During this ti, Mike was also asked about the Multistage Rocket Booster and Booster Recovery plan.
After all, these two groundbreaking theories were first proposed by him.
anwhile, George, watching the three discuss intensely, couldn't interject at all. So, he could only pour himself two more cups of black tea.
Indeed, NASA's tea was better than what was available outside.
Finally, after more than two hours, Dr. Ronald, who had fully understood "Rocket Launch Plan 2.0," had a complicated expression on his face.
"Your plan is excellent and helps us solve many technical problems. However, as I said before, the entire plan is too advanced. To fully implent it now, many technical and material aspects still cannot et your requirents..." Dr. Ronald said regretfully.
One must know how agonizing it is for professionals to encounter a better solution that cannot be implented.
Fortunately, Sheldon researched this plan only to prove his capability, and he had not considered putting it into production.
And now, to earn Dr. Ronald's admiration, he was already very satisfied.
Mike, on the other hand, was not too concerned that the plan could not be implented. He said, "It doesn't matter. I have already applied for a patent for this plan. When the conditions are t, soone will naturally notice it."
In fact, this plan could completely beco a win-win situation. Mike and Sheldon provide NASA with a direction for progress, and when aerospace technology conditions are t, both of them can collect patent fees from NASA.
"Your approach is very correct." Dr. Ronald thought for a mont and understood Mike's idea, and he couldn't help but marvel at his maturity.
"Alright, we should go." George, who had drunk several cups of tea, saw that it was almost ti and prepared to take Sheldon and Mike to leave.
This mission was now successfully completed.
It was only when George reminded him that Dr. Ronald realized it was getting late outside. So, he suggested, "As a token of my gratitude, please allow to treat you to dinner."
"No need," George refused. "We still need to find a place to stay, and we're a bit short on ti. Let's do dinner another ti."
Clearly, George was speaking politely; after the three left NASA, they might not have another chance to et Dr. Ronald.
However, George's point about finding accommodation was true.
"That's a sha," Dr. Ronald also considered their difficulties, but to compensate Sheldon and Mike, he reluctantly took out two movie tickets and said, "As a token of my gratitude, please accept these two movie tickets."
"Midnight screening?" Mike took the movie tickets and saw the ti printed on them: tonight's midnight screening.
"'Mars Exploration'? Is this an educational film?" Sheldon, on the other hand, noticed the content of the movie ticket.
"Yes, I heard this is precious footage fild internally by NASA..." Dr. Ronald explained.
Hearing that it was an alien educational film, Sheldon imdiately beca interested.
After bidding farewell to Dr. Ronald, George skillfully found the small hotel where they had stayed last ti. After checking in, he took Sheldon and Mike out for a big al.
For this trip, Mary had prepared ample funds for George.
As midnight approached, following the directions on the movie tickets, George drove Sheldon and Mike to a secluded private cinema.
"I feel like sothing's not right," George felt uneasy as he drove off the main road, the streetlights gone, and the scene outside the car window pitch black.
However, seeing his youngest son's eager expression, George still chose to get out of the car and walked with Sheldon and Mike towards the only lit cinema.
"This is private property. No unauthorized personnel without a pass," at the cinema's only entrance, two burly n blocked Mike and the other two.
"Is this it?" Mike held up the movie tickets in his hand.
Upon seeing the tickets, the two burly n's attitudes improved significantly, though they still stated matter-of-factly, "You only have two tickets, so only two people can enter."
Before Mike could reply, George pulled the two beside him aside.
"This place gives a bad feeling. Maybe we should just leave," George advised.
He had just seen the muscles of the two burly n, which were not sothing ordinary people could develop.
Clearly, this private cinema was not simple.
"I don't think there's any problem. Look over there." The Mars Exploration educational film held a strong appeal for Sheldon.
And looking in the direction he pointed, a luxurious car was parked by the roadside, and a well-dressed old man, holding a movie ticket, successfully entered the cinema.
