Daily life of an American TV drama agent

"It's so quiet without Sheldon~" Howard stretched out comfortably on the chair: "Can I ask you how much that thing cost?"

"Four thousand US dollars, but it's worth every penny. This money will give us peace of mind for at least a month, or even longer." Leonard said proudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the laboratory opened and Ron walked in. Leonard and the other three stood up happily: "Ron, why are you here?"

"I came over to check on the progress of the super battery. How is it doing now?"

"Very good, we have developed a cooling solution that can reduce the size of the prototype battery to the target specifications. How about it? Isn't this solution very cool (COOL has multiple meanings in English)."

"Howard, your jokes are not funny at all," Ron complained casually, his eyes began to scan around the laboratory, and finally stopped on a whiteboard: "What is this? Did Sheldon write it?" "

"It's nothing, just some equations that we can no longer use." Leonard concealed it guiltily.

"Leonard, although I graduated with a literature major, it doesn't mean that I know nothing about physics and mathematics." Ron looked at the content on the whiteboard carefully: "Does he want to make this super battery smaller?"

"This is just talk on paper, and it has not yet been successfully implemented." Raj's eyes flickered.

"Really?" Ron's suspicious eyes swept across the faces of the three scientists one by one, and the three of them lowered their heads in shame: "I want this plan."

"But, we have already achieved the specifications we agreed on before. Look," Howard anxiously held up the mostly completed super battery and said to Ron: ""

"Then let Sheldon work harder. Wait, where is Sheldon?" Ron looked around and didn't find Sheldon. Thinking of the guilty conscience of the three of them, Ron showed a half-smiling expression: "Okay, Leonard, you must have used that ultimate train experience coupon, right?"

"That's right, but Ron, let me just say, we've spent a lot of time and money on this prototype battery and it's the perfect solution, and most importantly, it can be made smaller. It will take several weeks to recalculate, which will affect our deliveries to Tesla and China factories."

Leonard said hesitantly. Looking at the expressions of the three people, Ron finally understood what the problem was.

Fortunately for Leonard, although he doesn't earn much, his expenses are not big. Penny's job as a medical representative can also earn a lot. After all, medical representatives are high-income groups in both China and the United States. Penny secretly said However, her current income is two to three times that of Leonard. Apart from occasionally talking about money issues, which makes him a little embarrassed, it has no impact on Leonard himself.

But the other two are different. One wife has just given birth to a baby and is facing a lot of pressure to raise the baby. The other has just decided to become an independent man from now on, without spending a penny from the family, but the credit card bills left over from previous extravagant purchases. But so far, he still has no whereabouts. Even the tickets to the Comic Exhibition were paid for by Ron.

It can be said that Raj is now all pointing to the success of the super battery, and then feels proud in front of his father.

Thinking about it this way, two of the three people are waiting to make a fortune successfully from batteries.

"OK, what you said makes sense, but I still want this." Ron pointed at the whiteboard behind him where Sheldon had written formulas and said stubbornly.

Howard said anxiously: "However, that plan is just an idea on paper, not even a complete idea."

"Okay, what you three said makes sense. Thank you for expressing it so clearly. However, I have changed my mind now. You still have to come up with this plan." Ron knocked on the whiteboard and unconsciously emphasized his tone. :

"10% to 15% of the size may not matter to you, because the solution you have now is already the best in the world. It will take others a long time to reach a similar level, but don't forget, guys, commercial solutions It was originally created to supplement military use.

Imagine how many more rounds of bullets, artillery shells, or armor can be loaded with 10% to 15% of the space on a weapon carrier. This space may not matter to you, but on the battlefield, it may be It will save lives. "

The three of them lowered their heads at Ron's sudden lecture, but no one thought there was anything wrong with what Ron said. Seeing them like this, Ron knew that his lecture had been effective, so he changed to a softer tone.

"Gentlemen, I think you have noticed some things in the news recently, such as the assassination of heads of state in London, the fall of the White House, etc. Behind these events, there is a very powerful opponent hidden. Everything you are doing now, It’s all to give us more confidence when we fight against them, do you understand?”

"We understand, Ron." Leonard and the other three nodded.

"Okay, let's go find Sheldon together now, come on~"

There was immediately a cry of mourning in the laboratory. Ron walked to the door and turned around and added: "I forgot to mention it just now. The deposit has already been paid by Turnla, and I plan to use part of it as a bonus." Come out, what do you think?"

"Long live!" The three people cheered together.

In the Pasadena apartment, when Raj came back from the laboratory, he was called away by his girlfriend, Ron's niece, and the number of people became three again.

By the way, the place where they dated was the same apartment that Ron had just lent to Raj. It was so close that Alex only had to climb over a wall.

"Ron, you are so generous. You let Raj live in your two-story house, and even allowed them to date in your house, while you are still crowded in an apartment with Sheldon and the others. .”

"Who can refuse an apartment with free dinner? Anyway, the days when I actually sleep here at night are numbered." Ron shrugged indifferently: "What's more, the person who is dating Raj is my niece, if they get married. , do you know how much money an Indian family like Raj will prepare for an Indian boy who gets married?"

Leonard and Howard shook their heads together with gossipy expressions.

"I don't know, but it's more than what you spent on the super battery project. You know, the Raj family is the Indian version of Iron Man," Ron just finished sighing when a tingling sound came from the apartment. Sound: "Wait, what is this sound?"

"This should be the sound of welding," Howard said as he opened the door. Sure enough, inside the apartment, Sheldon was wearing a welding mask and welding something on a large machine.

"Sheldon, what are you doing?"

"I'm welding a locomotive. In all these years, I haven't discovered that the real thing is much more fun than the model~" Sheldon took off his mask and said excitedly.

"That's right. Since the first time I drove a tank, I have thrown away all the tank models. Compared with the real thing, those things are scum." Ron said, while shouting at Reiner De and Howard pursed their lips and said, "Hurry up! It's your turn!"

Howard pushed Leonard again, and Leonard could only bite the bullet and speak: "Listen, Sheldon, Ron wants us to make the super battery smaller, and we can't do it without you."

"Interesting, I was right to say that." Sheldon crossed his arms proudly: "I would have been willing to help you, but since I experienced the satisfaction of adjusting the locomotive engine by hand, I feel that I can't go back. I did theoretical research, and now I am an engineer.”

"Let me tell you first, I'm a train engineer, not a stupid engineer like you." Sheldon pulled down his mask and said to Howard.

"Look at the good things you have done!" Ron glared at Leonard and Howard: "Sheldon, you can travel a few weeks later and help me make the super battery first. Without you, they really can't do it. "

"Sorry, I have to keep working on this locomotive so I don't look like an idiot when I get to the rail yard."

Just as Ron was about to continue talking, little clever Leonard secretly tugged on his clothes, and the three of them came to the apartment next door together.

"What, have you thought of any good ideas?"

"No, but I was wondering if I could ask other people in the school for help? You know, there are a few people in the school who are as good as Sheldon, such as Leslie, such as Crispi..."

"Stop!" Ron stopped before Howard could finish his words: "This is a confidential project. The reason why I came to you is because we trust each other. You don't want half of the project you have done to be taken away by some traitor. Find another company to sell it to? Then we won’t get a cent, or can you try to complete the equation?”

The two of them stared at the formula Ron had just copied from the photo album on his phone onto the whiteboard with their eyes wide open. They couldn't see any flowers from the formula until their eyes were sore.

After a long time, Leonard threw the marker aside in frustration: "No! This equation is too difficult, I can't do it!"

For some reason, when Leonard said this, Ron's mind automatically paired him with the BGM of "One Cut Plum".

"Well, it seems that there is only one last solution." Ron picked up the marker that Leonard had thrown away and walked to the whiteboard.

"What method?" The two of them looked at Ron's movements in confusion: "Can you calculate this equation?!"

"How is that possible? What do I need you to do if I know how to calculate?" Ron rolled his eyes, turned around and started drawing on the whiteboard: "This is what I said."

After Ron finished drawing, when the two of them looked at the whiteboard again, they saw that the part that Sheldon had not calculated had been filled in by Ron with all kinds of messy formulas and theorems.

"What the hell is this?"

"I still have all the mathematical formulas I remember written down. This comes from the experience of a friend who always flunked the test. No matter whether you know it or not, writing down all the formulas and theorems first will always gain some points for your effort."

"Please, this is too ridiculous! You even wrote down the Pythagorean Theorem..."

Howard was about to continue scolding Ron for his answers when Leonard's eyes suddenly lit up and he took the pen from Ron: "I know what you are going to do! As long as Sheldon sees this bunch of nonsense, he will You can’t help but correct us! But what you wrote is too irrelevant. Let me add a few points.

Like this, and again,,, the last one is actually not even a mathematical symbol, it is the hair of the comic character Charlie Brown, haha, Ron, you are really a genius. "

After finishing what was written on the whiteboard, the three people returned to the apartment on the other side and started acting.

"Sheldon, we don't need you at all."

"Yes, we solved it ourselves, it's not that difficult."

The three of them placed the whiteboard directly opposite Sheldon and began to taunt him to attract his attention.

"You guys are so awesome." Sheldon said perfunctorily without raising his head.

"Don't you take a look at the whiteboard? Look at how good Howard and Leonard are. Maybe they are better than you." Ron continued to provoke, and his words just hit Sheldon's weakness. Finally moved, he secretly glanced at the content on the whiteboard, and quickly moved his gaze back to the train engine.

A genius is a genius, and he could tell with just one glance that what Leonard wrote on the whiteboard was all nonsense.

"No, thank you. I'm busy fixing the fuel pump."

"That's the manifold," reminded Howard, a professional engineer.

"Okay, it seems I've fixed it." Sheldon raised his head casually: "That's all wrong."

"Oh my God, did we make a mistake?" Ron said to Howard and Howard in an exaggerated tone: "You guys really let me down. What should I do now? Which genius should I find to help me correct it?"

As he said that, Ron took out a marker and waved it in front of Sheldon. Sheldon took the bait and took the marker and walked to the whiteboard: "First of all, in the same equation, both relative and non-relative vectors can be used. , I only wrote it once, and I won’t do it again.”

Sheldon walked over to the whiteboard and started calculating. Behind him, I and them had a successful look on their faces.

But immediately, they stopped laughing. After Sheldon finished writing, he stepped aside, only to see that the equation that Leonard had written wrongly on the whiteboard had not moved at all, and Leonard used the comic character's hair as the position of the mathematical symbol. But Sheldon drew the whole face.

Their plan was discovered by Sheldon from the beginning.

"You underestimate me, idiots."

"Please, Hilton, there is no way you can give up physics," Ron said helplessly: "And you have no idea what you are doing. If you really want to learn mechanical knowledge, you can ask Howard to teach you."

"Yes, I will teach you well," Howard agreed: "With your new skills in repairing trains, you will definitely become the king of the train model shop!"

"Hmph, I have a girlfriend, and I'm already the king of model train shops." Sheldon crossed his arms and said arrogantly.

Ron saw his expression and knew something was up: "So are you willing to continue to help?"

"What choice do I have? You need me," Sheldon said, pointing to the front part of the truck: "I'm like the crankshaft of this team..."

"That's a turbocharger," Howard reminded again.

"Whatever it is, it looks heavy anyway. As long as you throw this thing downstairs, I will continue to help."
