<h4>Chapter 271: The Confusing Radar Design</h4>


    “As a butler, I know I shouldn’t say a lot of things, but I have my bottom line, too. I want the youngdy to be happy. I don’t know exactly what you did, but she’s been very happy since you came, and that’s why I’m telling you so much,” Pang Xing said.


    Xia Fei lit a cigarette and took a puff from it. Pang Xing was trying to tell him two things; first, Avril was indeed under pressure from her family. Second, Avril was tougher than he thought. She was not one forpromises.


    Pang Xing’s device began to beep. He took a quick nce at it and said, “The youngdy is awake. She didn’t even bother putting makeup on when she’s told that you wanted to see her.”


    Xia Fei nodded. He followed Pang Xing back up the mountain.


    He saw Avril standing by the elevator entrance in sleepwear as soon as he reached the top. Avril joyfully ran toward him and asked, “Why didn’t you tell me you’re here? Didn’t he let you in?”


    Avril gave Pang Xing an unfriendly look, so Xia Fei quickly exined, “It’s not Butler Pang’s fault. I just wanted you to rest longer.”


    Avril’s eyes reddened. She said gloomily, “You are so kind to me. It must have been rough waiting out here. I’ll go change right away, and we’ll head to the theme park.”


    Xia Fei agreed. Avril immediately ran back to her room. Pang Xing spread his arms and said helplessly, “The youngdy is really kind to you. The rest is up to you now.”


    Xia Fei knew what the man was trying to say and he smiled. “I understand what you mean; thank you for the reminder.”


    ...


    The Interster Amusement Park was said to be the best theme park in the Pan-Human Alliance. It had every ride that one could possibly think of. It would take someone at least a week to enjoy all the rides the ce could offer.


    This was Xia Fei’s first time realizing how physically demanding having fun was. Avril was struggling even more, for her body was weaker.


    The two stayed at the theme park until dark before Xia Fei moved to bring Avril home, but before that, they enjoyed some fruit puddings at a nice restaurant first.


    Upon reaching his ce on Baran, Xia Fei shut the door and dove into the research on theher bell.


    Li Mo’s appearance had somehow given Xia Fei a push. The best way to win the affection of the woman he loved was to defeat his rivals. Xia Fei learned from Moon Song that Li Mo had registered to participate in the Golden Finger Cup, and his cousin Bai Ye was taking part, too. The war hade quicker than Xia Fei had expected, except that there was no smell of gunpowder in this war.


    How could he possiblybine theher bell’s technology of directional transmission with Titan’s super-radar to create a new radar system that was capable ofmunicating over long distances without having to worry about signal disturbance? This question had long bothered Xia Fei.


    Perhaps because Li Mo was a tough opponent, Xia Fei’s thoughts were surprisingly quick today instead of being hazy.


    Some people would crack under the pressure, but others would be able to perform superbly when under great pressure. Xia Fei was obviously thetter.


    He adjusted the size of the micrputer’s holographic screen to the maximum and ced the two blueprints side by side. He lit a cigarette as his eyes remained fixed on the screen, but his thoughts were deeply upied by theplicated circuits.


    The two radar systems were designed modrly. Each model represented a different functionality. Some were used for capturing signals, while some were responsible for determining the position of signals.


    Xia Fei did not rely on the micrputer’s calction. He was going through allbinations of the models in his mind, but their designs were ipatibly different. The former was good against signal disturbance, while thetter could magnify signals beyond normal extent.


    In theory, it would be perfect if he couldbine theher bell’s resistance toward signal disturbance with the signal magnifying capability of Titan’s radar system, but in reality, the two systems were ipatible with one another. Not only would the resistance toward signal disturbance drop by half, its performance would drop significantly, too.


    Xia Fei needed the super-radar system for his warship; hence, he was not too fussy with the size of the final product. After all, a warship had plenty of space avable. It was easy to allocate a space big enough to contain the system, so Xia Fei was trying to double the resistance toward signal disturbance and the performance of the system, yet the oue was even inferior to the normal radar system that the Alliance was currently using.


    It felt like an endless loop. If he increased the performance of one system, the performance of the other system would drop. If he tried increasing the performance of both systems, the oue would be less than ideal.


    A night was gone fairly quickly. The huge ashtray on the table was already full of cigarette butts. Xia Fei already felt his throat getting a little sore and his lungs burning after smoking so much. He drank a cup of water and poked his head out of the window to look at the outside world.


    It was already the crack of dawn, so faint light was starting to appear in the sky. The air was moist and cool. Xia Fei took a few deep breaths and stretched. He felt a lot better after clearing his mind.


    The sun had risen, and sunlight was shining on the horizon. The leaves of the trees were blocking the zing sunlight, resulting in long shadows on the streets. Light was a wonderful existence. The size of shadows differed when the light was shining from different angles. At noon, a person’s shadow was tiny like a ck dot, but their shadow would be dragged infinitely at dawn or dusk.


    The situation was simr to the omnipresent disturbance in the gxy. When a signal swayed from its original course, it would bepletely unpredictable. No one knew where the electric waves had traveled to.


    The leaves rustled in the breeze. As Xia Fei observed the shadows of the trees swaying on the ground, an unprecedented thought suddenly crossed his mind.


    ...


    Xia Fei did not leave the room once in the next three days. He even called off the date with Avril. Avril did notin because she knew that Xia Fei was busy with his work. A woman from a well off family had a better foresight, indeed. She believed an ambitious man like Xia Fei was more reliable. If a man only knew to hang out with his woman all the time, the love between them would only be flowers in a mirror or the moon reflected in theke, regardless of how sweet the man was.


    Every human’s energy was limited. A man would often have to choose between work and love, and in most cases, those who chose thetter were usually unreliable.


    Xia Fei’s fingers kept tapping on the screen. The smart design system rapidly implemented Xia Fei’s idea andbined theponents and chips on the screen.


    Xia Fei mmed his hand on the table excitedly when he finallypleted the blueprint.


    He then used the micrputer to contact Harris who was on Earth and blurted out, “I’ve justpleted the blueprint of a new radar system. Time is limited, so I only designed the coreponents of the system. Take a look at it and tell me what you think.”


    The blueprint showed up on the screen after Harris clicked ‘ept’. An expert like him immediately noticed how bold the design was at first nce and he gasped in astonishment.


    “Are you crazy?! Are you seriously thinking of mixing the transmitters in such a mess?” Harris eximed.
