I ask you to design equipment, but you do science fiction for me?

Chapter 369 The prototype of the next blue star is basically completed!

In the next few days, everyone worked in full swing and nothing difficult happened.

If there are difficulties in research, they can be solved smoothly after a few days of research.

With this group of experts, Rawls really felt that the base was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Especially the rail engineering studied by Professor Wang.

It has already paid off.

A section of track has been completed.

Some things can be transported on it and vehicles can pass on it.

And the defense and attack power are also very good, which can greatly improve the overall quality of the base.

Now a more difficult problem arises, that is, there is not enough material to make rails.

At first, Rawls didn't want to ask Luo Zhiguo for anything. He also felt that it was a bit embarrassing and bad to ask Luo Zhiguo for everything, so he thought about finding a way to get a batch of materials by himself.

But when he went to do this, he realized that it was extremely difficult.

Although we got some materials, they are far from enough.

In the end, we still have to seek help from Luo Zhiguo.

After Luo Zhiguo learned about this matter, he did not give a positive answer.

He said he was going to the warehouse to see if there were enough materials.

If there are enough, I will give some to Rawls.

If it is not enough, he can only find another way.

Rawls knew that this was an excuse.

With the strength within Luo Zhiguo.

Not to mention that there were materials in the warehouse, even if there were none, he could get another batch with just one phone call. He simply didn't want to give them to him.

There was no other way, he could only go to the base in person and have a face-to-face meeting with Luo Zhiguo.

After arriving at the base, Luo Zhiguo went out to greet him in person as usual.

He said something like "Brother, I missed you" but his expression looked a little unwelcome.

Rawls was used to it and didn't say much.

Following Luo Zhiguo into the room, Su Chen and Yuan Jingna had been waiting in the room for a long time.

When he saw Yuan Jingna, Rawls was a little embarrassed.

Because when those experts were transferred away, Yuan Jingna was also on the list.

But for the sake of the railroad materials, he gave Luo Zhiguo face and did not transfer Yuan Jingna away.

I don’t know whether Yuan Jingna is angry or not.

Yuan Jingna was a little angry about this matter, but she had forgotten about it.

However, after seeing Rawls, he remembered it again, so the anger in his heart was ignited a little bit again. He didn't like Rawls very much and said some sarcastic words.

"Isn't this Rawls, the commander-in-chief of Base No. 2?"

"You must have something to ask for when you come to our base. You don't have to come to our base if you have nothing to do."

Rawls smiled awkwardly and said bluntly: "Nothing else, just like last time, it's still a problem with the materials."

He sighed, told them about the recent situation of the base, and also stated that he was in urgent need of those materials and hoped to get help from Su Chen and others.

After saying that, he looked at Su Chen pitifully.

For him, Luo Zhiguo and Yuan Jingna were not easy to talk to, so talking with Su Chen made him feel more comfortable.

Su Chen never refused any request he made to him, and never even said no or said something like "difficult".

Unfortunately, he found the wrong person this time.

Su Chen could agree to any research question without hesitation.

Because that is his business and has nothing to do with others.

Even Luo Zhiguo can't control himself.

However, Su Chen had no right to ask about matters related to materials.

The materials of the base belong to the entire base, not to him personally.

Completely controlled by Luo Zhiguo.

Rawls asked himself about this matter and realized that he was powerless to do anything about it.

"Don't come to me about this matter. I can't help you."

"Luo Zhiguo has the final say over the entire base."

"You can ask Luo Zhiguo about the materials."

"If he can help you, he will definitely help you and will never shirk his responsibility."

"If I can't help, then there's really nothing I can do."

Su Chen said something for Luo Zhiguo at this time.

He knew that Luo Zhiguo would make things difficult for Rawls.

But no matter how difficult it is, I will definitely help if I can.

But even if he can't help, Luo Zhiguo will definitely not pretend to be helpful.

Rawls looked at Luo Zhiguo pitifully, wanting to say something polite.

But when the words came to my lips, I didn't know what to say.

He had already said a lot of nice things and said everything he needed to say on the phone, but Luo Zhiguo still did not agree.

Luo Zhiguo was quite embarrassed. He sighed and talked about the situation at the base.

"We still have some materials at our base, but these materials cannot be moved."

"We have to keep a certain amount of stock at our base. If something urgent happens, we can use the materials in the warehouse to replenish them. We can't give them all to you."

"I think you should talk to your superiors about this matter. If they agree, I can give you all the materials in the warehouse."

"If the higher-ups don't agree, there's nothing I can do."

Rawls smiled bitterly. He had already contacted the higher-ups.

But his request was not met.

The reason is very simple.

Although the two parties have a cooperative relationship, Rawls is now asking for things from them.

But it did not bring them any benefits, so for the time being they could not give Rawls more help.

Such straightforward words made Rawls blush, and he was too embarrassed to beg others again.

Seeing Luo Zhiguo's serious expression, Rawls said very seriously: "I am here to borrow materials from you as an individual, not to ask for them."

When Luo Zhiguo heard him say this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Rawls's smile was a bit puzzled.

Luo Zhiguo thought Rawls was joking.

If someone borrows something from me in the name of an individual, then I cannot lend it to him.

The things are not his, they belong to the base.

What right does he have to lend things to others?

And it was lent to someone who was borrowing things in a private capacity.

What if he doesn't pay it back?
Who will take this responsibility?

Yuan Jingna and Su Chen also felt that what Rawls said was a bit too unrealistic.

Of course they understood what Rawls was thinking, but he thought things were too simple.

The reason why we didn't lend it to him was not because he was the commander-in-chief of the base, but because of other reasons.

Even if he changed his identity, he would not be able to borrow anything.

He was confused about this.

Seeing the three people looking at him with a smile, Rawls became angry and asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Do you think what I said is funny?" Luo Zhiguo nodded silently, "It is indeed a bit funny. You have mixed up some things."

"Because you are the commander of the base, you can enter the base."

"If you are just an ordinary person, how could you enter our base?"

"Not to mention borrowing anything."

"I think you should look for someone else. Base No. 1 should have a lot of materials. You can ask them for them."

"You have a good relationship with them."

Rawls had asked Base No. 1 for it a long time ago, but they refused to give it to him and said some unpleasant things.

He had no other choice, so he came to Luo Zhiguo.

Now that Luo Zhiguo has also refused, is their railway project going to be shelved?
At this moment, Su Chen suddenly came up with a solution for him.

"If we don't have the materials you want, can't we just use some other materials?"

"Don't you already have many experts at your base? You can ask them to replace the materials you need with another kind of material."

"Also, Professor Wang and I studied composite materials some time ago, which allows for the fusion of materials."

"Maybe we can research a new material. If this material can be used in railway engineering, won't your problem be solved?"

Hearing Su Chen's words, Rawls immediately perked up, blinked his eyes and asked Su Chen: "Is this plan really feasible?"

Su Chen nodded very seriously and told him that this was the only way.

If this method doesn't work, then he gives up.

Rawls sat on the chair, twisting his body back and forth, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a while, he suddenly looked at Su Chen and said embarrassedly: "You should have some experience in the research of this material, why don't you stay in our base for a few days."

Before Su Chen could agree, Luo Zhiguo spoke immediately.

"No, Su Chen is busy with something else recently and doesn't have time to visit you."

When Rawls heard what Luo Zhiguo said, he immediately stared with his eyes wide open, almost spitting fire from them.

He knew that Luo Zhiguo was deliberately making things difficult for him.

What could happen to Su Chen?

He heard that Su Chen had nothing to do recently and hadn't even gone to the laboratory.

I'm free anyway, so what's wrong with doing some research on my own?

Luo Zhiguoran jumped out to stop it, clearly not wanting to see his own base in bad shape.

He frowned and said nothing.

At this time, Yuan Jingna suddenly said with a smile: "Su Chen does have something to do now."

"Don't think that he hasn't been to the laboratory in the past few days. He is actually helping me with things."

Rawls looked at Yuan Jingna unhappily, thinking to himself: What does this have to do with you? Why are you saying anything extra?

What can Suchen do for you?
Do you think I don't know that your planting base is already on the right track?

There are no research projects at the moment, so it is impossible for Su Chen to help you do anything.

He didn't want to say anything more to the two of them and stared at Su Chen.

Su Chen thought for a moment and felt a little embarrassed.

Because, recently he has been helping Yuan Jingna research things.

Yuan Jingna did not lie.

"I'm really researching something for Yuan Jingna. Recently, they are planning to plant a new batch of plants, but they haven't been successful after planting them several times. So we are researching this batch of plants, and I really can't go to your place for the time being."

Hearing Su Chen say this, Rawls was skeptical.

He glanced at Yuan Jingna, still a little unconvinced.

After thinking for a moment, he wanted to verify it.

"Really? Then I'll go with you guys to take a look later."

"I also want to see what plants you are studying."

Everyone knows what Rawls meant.

Su Chen nodded indifferently. Yuan Jingna was still a little reluctant, but finally agreed.

Luo Zhiguo yawned and said that he had to deal with other things. He asked Su Chen and Yuan Jingna to accompany Rawls and left first.

Luo Zhiguo left as soon as he said he would, without any nonsense.

After he left, Rawls looked at Yuan Jingna with a provocative look.

He thought to himself: Didn't you say that Su Chen was helping you research something? Then take me to see it.

Yuan Jingna felt what Rawls meant and blinked at Su Chen with a smile.

"It seems that some people don't believe it. Let's take him to the base to have a look."

Afterwards, the three of them took a car and rushed to the planting base.

We arrived at the planting base and opened a research laboratory.

Rawls looked at the device in front of him and tapped it gently.

"How can you prove that Su Chen has been doing research with you recently?"

Since everyone was already here, he couldn't care less and just asked directly.

Looking at the situation inside the laboratory, there were no traces of Su Chen left.

Su Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why was this still under investigation?
Yuan Jingna ignored Rawls' question and picked up a document and handed it to Rawls.

"Take a look at this material."

Rawls picked up the materials and looked at them. There was a date and signature at the bottom.

The signatures on some of the papers were written by Su Chen.

Rawls was very familiar with Su Chen's notes and knew at a glance that they were written by Su Chen himself.

Besides, it is impossible for anyone to impersonate Su Chen.

He sighed in disappointment and resignation, "Okay, then come to our base when you're done."

Su Chen thought for a while, and suddenly said: "I think I won't go to your base."

"You just transferred a group of experts from our base. They are all very capable and should be able to help you solve your current problem."

"Besides, there is Professor Wang."

"I believe they can develop an alternative material."

"As for me, going to the base won't have a good impact either."

"I can roughly guess what those experts are thinking."

"The reason why they are willing to go to your base may have something to do with me."

"If I go to your base to do research again, those experts will probably be unhappy, and then your situation will not be good."

"So, I think it's better if I don't go there."

Rawls had never thought about this problem before, and when he heard Su Chen say this, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

Those experts are really troublesome.

What Su Chen said made a lot of sense, and he could only nod helplessly.

After returning to the base, he held a meeting.

He did not mention Su Chen at the meeting, but only brought up the idea that Su Chen had mentioned.

Then, everyone started researching.

Because Professor Wang had worked with Su Chen for a period of time, he had some experience in hybrid material research.

After half a month of research, they finally found a substitute material.

With replacement materials, track work can continue.

Rawls finally breathed a sigh of relief.
