I handed over to another world

Chapter 792 The Problem

Chen Lin stood in the main control room of the outpost base, staring at the progress of the homing protocol execution that was constantly being refreshed on the holographic projection.

Blue dots of light flickered like stars on the map of the origin star, and each dot of light represented a group of association members who were being urgently teleported back to Earth.

"President, the homing agreement has been completed by 87%."

Zhulong AI reported, "Most of the remaining personnel are located in remote research stations. It is estimated that it will take another 22 minutes to complete the evacuation. Those farther away have not responded. It is too difficult to execute the homing protocol, so I did not force them to execute the homing protocol."

“Good luck.”

Chen Lin nodded slightly and asked Professor Zhou beside him, "Where are the other data, Professor Zhou?"

Professor Zhou stared at the data stream, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead: "Qian Mingyuan and his team cut off quantum communication too quickly. We lost at least 15% of our real-time monitoring capabilities."

"It's not a big problem. The people have been brought back anyway."

Chen Lin's gaze turned to Qian Mingyuan who was escorted in. This middle-aged man who was once full of vigor and vitality now had a pale face and messy uniform, but there was still a gleam of unwillingness in his eyes.

"Director Qian," Chen Lin's voice was terrifyingly calm, "Do you know what you almost caused?"

Qian Mingyuan struggled to raise his head: "I am saving the Origin Star! How many resources have we supplied to the Earth in the past 25 years? But in return, we have received increasingly stringent development restrictions! The Red Dragon Association has long forgotten its original intention, and you are also treating the Origin Star as a pure resource export site. Don't forget that this place was opened by you in the first place, and it should have been developed better!"

"You still know this?"

Chen Lin approached slowly, and the blue light of the holographic projection cast a cold shadow on his face: "You colluded with the New Origin Movement and prepared to use phase interference technology to cut off the connection between the two worlds. Do you think you did the right thing?"

"We just want equal status!" Qian Mingyuan suddenly became excited. "Origin Star has a complete industrial system and billions of people. Why should it be a vassal of Earth forever?"

"Every year we donate enough blood to the Earth to sustain the lives of billions of people and all kinds of resources consumed, but our status is even worse than that of a small association in Southeast Asia!"

The control room was silent except for the humming of the instruments.

"Who told you all this? Don't you think it's ridiculous to say this?"

After a while, Chen Lin asked Qian Mingyuan, "As a super planet under the Red Dragon Association, the Origin Star has so many levels of blood transfusions every year. How did you conclude that its status is not as good as that of a so-called small association?"

He sighed slightly: "To say that you are stupid is really beyond description. It seems to be very effective to rely solely on emotions to mobilize people from all walks of life to join you in opposing the control of the Red Dragon Association."

"You have already reached this position, why do you still only look at the surface of things? Why can't you investigate the relationship between Origin Star and the Red Dragon Association? How many projects have I supported on Origin Star over the years, how many people have I transferred, and how many work contents have I changed..."

Qian Mingyuan was speechless for a moment. What Chen Lin said was actually right - the whole thing was full of emotional operations. They actually did not have detailed data to support the cooperative relationship between the Red Dragon Association and Origin Star.

The whole process seems a little funny.

Chen Lin was silent for a moment, and suddenly called up a set of holographic data: "Zhulong, play the energy distribution records of the outpost base in the past three months."

The holographic screen immediately displayed a dense energy flow diagram. Chen Lin's finger drew circles on several red-marked lines: "These unreported energy transfers all flowed to the anti-phase transmission station you secretly built, but do you know why your plan failed?"

Qian Mingyuan's expression froze.

"Because the phasing technology you stole was a version from three months ago."

Chen Lin's voice suddenly turned cold. "And the real core technology has always been in the hands of the top leaders of the Red Dragon Association."

He turned to the console and entered a complex series of commands.

The holographic projection immediately switched to a star map of the entire solar system. Hundreds of blue light spots formed a dense network in the Earth's orbit.

"Do you know this?" Chen Lin pointed at the light spots. "The Planetary Defense Matrix is ​​a quantum locking system built with special minerals from the Origin Star. Any unauthorized space jump attempt will be captured by the matrix the moment it is activated."

Qian Mingyuan's face turned pale instantly: "No... Impossible... Our test clearly..."

"It shows success?"

Chen Lin sneered, "That was just a false signal deliberately sent out by the association. Since the first time you stole technical information, you have been under our surveillance."

Professor Zhou looked at Chen Lin in shock: "President, you knew this a long time ago?"

"Just a suspicion." Chen Lin sighed. "Ever since the development focus shifted to Earth, I had a feeling that there would be dissatisfaction, but I didn't expect it to develop to this extent - the point is, it's still so stupid."

At this moment, Zhulong AI suddenly sounded an alarm: "Abnormal spatial fluctuations detected! The coordinates are located on the seventh floor underground of the outpost base!"

Chen Lin's eyes were stern: "It's the backup transmission station! Qian Mingyuan has an accomplice!"

The holographic surveillance screen immediately switched to the seventh underground floor, where a dozen armed men were busy surrounding a huge transmission device.

The energy core in the center of the device has lit up with an ominous red light.

"The self-destruction program has been activated," Zhulong analyzed quickly, "It is expected to cause space collapse in 90 seconds, and the impact radius will reach 5 kilometers!"

Qian Mingyuan suddenly laughed crazily: "It's too late! Even if you catch me, this base will be--"

Chen Lin didn't wait for him to finish and swung his right hand violently.

A blue light curtain instantly enveloped the entire control room, and everyone's figures became blurred in the transmitted light.

When the light faded, they were already in the emergency command center several kilometers away.

Through the reinforced glass window, one could see a blinding white light suddenly appear in the direction of the outpost base. Immediately afterwards, the space twisted and collapsed like a piece of paper crumpled by an invisible hand, eventually transforming into a pitch-black singularity that swallowed up the entire base.

"The space stabilization device has been activated," Zhulong reported, "The collapse range is controlled within the expected area."

Professor Zhou leaned on the console with weak legs: "Oh my God... they really want to die together..."

Chen Lin's expression became more serious: "Notify the Red Dragon Association headquarters on Earth and immediately convene an emergency meeting of the entire association. This is not the end, but just the beginning."

He turned to Qian Mingyuan who was pinned to the ground and asked: "How many people do you have stationed in other bases on the Origin Star? What is the situation on the affiliated planets?"

Qian Mingyuan clenched his teeth and refused to answer.

Chen Lin was not in a hurry. He just waved to the armed personnel and said, "Take him to the special interrogation room. Remember to prepare the neural reading device."

After Qian Mingyuan was dragged away, Chen Lin called up the global map of the Origin Star, on which there were still hundreds of blue dots flashing - association members who had not yet completed the evacuation would turn into a blue dot.

"President," Professor Zhou asked worriedly, "What should we do next? If a full-scale rebellion really breaks out on the Origin Star..."

“Then solve the root of the problem.”

Chen Lin's eyes were as deep as the starry sky. "For twenty-five years, we have indeed ignored their feelings. It is time to redefine the relationship between the two worlds."

……

On the ruins of the outpost, the engineering team is carrying out cleanup and reconstruction work in a intensive and orderly manner.

A huge quantum purification device was suspended in mid-air, constantly neutralizing the remaining space radiation.

Chen Lin stood on the makeshift command platform, looking at the busy scene below, and said to Professor Zhou beside him:
"During this reconstruction, we will upgrade the outpost to a 'Joint Command Center'. It will not only serve as a transmission hub, but also become the core of political, economic and cultural exchanges between Earth and the Origin Star."

Professor Zhou nodded and called up the holographic design: "The new base will adopt a two-way energy supply system, with Earth and Origin Star each accounting for 50% of the energy quota, symbolizing equal cooperation... In addition, we plan to set up a special department in the base to deal with similar matters and related public opinion about Qian Mingyuan."

Chen Lin nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. In addition, the names of those who died in the suppression of the rebellion should be engraved on the monument in the center of the base. They used their lives to prevent a disaster, which is extremely important to many people."

Professor Zhou nodded: "If they hadn't evacuated the crowd in time and arrested Qian Mingyuan, the losses would have been even greater."

"Although I will not be able to attend the commendation ceremony in three days in person as before, I will still be able to come via holographic image at that time."

Chen Lin said to Professor Zhou, "You should understand the meaning of holding this event on Origin Star. Similar events are bound to happen again in the future. This will also show our attitude."

Professor Zhou nodded: "President Chen is indeed very thoughtful. I hope this conference can help reduce some conflicts."

Three days later, a commendation ceremony was held on the ruins of the outpost.

Chen Lin's holographic projection personally awarded the "Guardian" super medal to 37 members with outstanding performance. These people included some extremely outstanding ones - such as Major Lin Rui, who led the armed commando team to control the energy core of the outpost in time and prevented a larger-scale explosion.

Engineer Zhang Ya manually repaired the homing protocol's beacon system when communications were interrupted, and rescued more than 200 researchers at remote sites from the rebels represented by Qian Mingyuan.

Similar incidents happened to more than 30 people, which was enough to show that at critical moments, the Red Dragon Association always had a majority of people standing on the front line.

At the same time as the reconstruction work started, Chen Lin also had a five-hour secret conversation with Wang Duan, the current governor of Origin Star, through quantum communication.

Wang Duan was actually one of the people who had grown up on the Origin Star in the original ecology over the past 20 years, so he showed a rather tough attitude when he came up: "President Chen, Origin Star is not a colony!"

"Our industrial output value accounts for 35% of the Red Dragon Association's total, but our decision-making power is less than 10% - this imbalance must be changed, otherwise I can't guarantee that similar things will not happen in the future."

"The Origin Planet is definitely not just a province or city directly under the jurisdiction of the Earth. It is a complete planet with more than one billion people living here. We also have six affiliated planets, covering a large amount of resources needed on Earth..."

Chen Lin did not refute, but pushed over a data panel: "Let's take a look at this."

The data panel that was pushed out showed a list of technology transferred from Earth to Origin Star over the past decade: the antimatter energy tower (which directly freed Origin Star from its dependence on Earth energy) was also one of the reasons why Qian Mingyuan was making trouble.

After all, he has always been claiming that the Red Dragon Association and the Origin Star are two different worlds - the Red Dragon Association has not really used the antimatter energy tower on a large scale until now, and the Dyson Cloud, which uses all the energy of the entire solar system, does not really need this thing.

There will also be changes in planting techniques, transportation, and so on.

"These are enough to prove sincerity,"

Chen Lin looked directly at Wang Duan, "You should know what these things I said represent. Publicize these contents and don't let Qian Mingyuan's problem reappear. I think both parties should build on this basis."

Wang Duan nodded: "Of course no problem."

"The association will continue to send the chief person in charge to the Origin Star in the same way as before. The Origin Star belongs to the Red Dragon Association and will only be a part of the Red Dragon Association in the future. Any attempt to cut it out or single it out will be regarded as a separatist. I hope that Director Wang can understand this."

Chen Lin spoke to Wang Duan, "In half a month at the latest, the new person in charge will go to Origin Star to take up his post. By then, he will be the direct representative of the Red Dragon Association on Origin Star. I will not allow the Red Dragon Association to be regarded as an opponent again."

"I understand, President Chen."

Wang Duan only felt some sweat on his forehead, Chen Lin looked young, but actually he had been in this position for ten years. During these ten years, he had firmly controlled the entire Red Dragon Association in his own hands. The former president of the association, Li Tianyun, was his master, and his successor, Zhang Shouren, taught him everything he knew. With the help of these people, Chen Lin was directly trained into a very terrifying leader of the association.

At least within the association, Chen Lin's current decisiveness and control capabilities are unquestionable.

If the current situation of the Origin Star is described as rebellion and separation according to previous statements, but Chen Lin downplayed it and made it a small matter. In the end, he even turned it into a dangerous behavior led by a few individuals - this is enough to prove that Chen Lin does not want to escalate the matter. He just wants a stable Origin Star.

Thinking of this, Chen Lin suddenly became amiable.

"You know, I also walked out of the Origin Star step by step."

A smile appeared on his face, "I opened this place myself!" (End of this chapter)
