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

Chapter 371 What is a myth? What is a legend? This is it!

The scene suddenly became a little weird, and everyone's face looked a little unnatural.

Even Su Chen was like this, and only Yuan Jingna could appreciate the surroundings properly.

He seldom came to Mars Base No. 2 and was full of curiosity about everything he saw.

At this moment, in order to ease the embarrassment, Professor Wang said he wanted to test the operation of the rails.

Everyone immediately perked up and forgot what had just happened.

With a start, the rails began the most common test.

The first is transportation.

Something weighing more than ten tons was placed on the rails, but the rails were not under any pressure at all.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, something weighing more than ten tons was transported to another location.

There was no deformation or even any burden under the rails, as if it was transporting an extremely light item.

This scene made everyone couldn't help but applaud.

Professor Wang also applauded. Rawls was also very happy and looked at Luo Zhiguo with some pride.

However, Luo Zhiguo poured cold water on him.

"What's there to be proud of? If the rails can't even meet the transportation function, then you are really useless."

With just one word, the applause died down and everyone's faces looked even uglier than before.

Su Chen glared at Luo Zhiguo unhappily, blaming him for being too talkative.

Luo Zhiguo still felt a little aggrieved. He was telling the truth, so why didn't this group of people want to listen?

He didn't care how upset these people felt and continued to express his views.

He must tell everyone everything he has learned from Su Chen, so that his hard work in studying for a period of time will not be in vain.

After talking for a long time, he was about to continue, but Professor Wang saw that everyone's faces were becoming more and more ugly, so he quickly interrupted him.

If he continued talking, everyone would probably beat him up.

He wanted to cover Luo Zhiguo's mouth with his hand.

"Okay, okay, stop talking."

"Let's move on to the next test."

“This test is crucial.”

Luo Zhiguo finally shut up, perked up, and asked curiously what the next test was.
Professor Wang told Luo Zhiguo that the next test was the most important one.

What is tested is the attack and defense capabilities of the rails.

Luo Zhiguo stood beside Su Chen, quietly nudged him with his elbow, and asked him in a low voice: "Do you think the railroad track can be tested successfully?"

Su Chen stared at Luo Zhiguo in confusion, blaming him for looking for trouble, then lowered his voice and asked, "Why do you ask that?"

"Did you see anything?"

When Luo Zhiguo heard Su Chen's words, his eyes almost popped out.

He was just asking casually, but from Su Chen's tone, he clearly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the rails.

Will this test fail?
The excitement in his eyes was beyond words. His whole body was stretched straight. He looked at Su Chen with burning eyes, and was so excited that he wanted to hug Su Chen.

“Is there something wrong with the rails?”

Su Chen remained silent, shook his head slightly at him, and signaled him to stop talking.

Luo Zhiguo nodded obediently, looking at the railroad tracks that were about to be tested with a gloating look on his face.

The conversation between the two people was not heard by others, but Yuan Jingna heard it.

He frowned slightly, coughed, and whispered to Su Chen: "If there is a problem with the rails, I think you should stop them from testing."

"It would be embarrassing for us, but it would not do us any good."

Su Chen sank for a moment and was about to stop it.

But Luo Zhiguo stopped Su Chen and shook his head firmly at him.

"Failure is the mother of success, why stop them?"

“If we don’t embarrass them, they won’t work harder in the future.”

"Besides, if you don't let them test it, do you think they will agree?"

"Will those experts agree? Look at the expressions on your faces. They look like they want to eat you."

"They just want to show off their talents in front of you, so how could they not conduct a test?"

Su Chen did not take the previous words to heart, but after seeing the expressions of the experts, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​stopping them.

Just as Luo Zhiguo said, that group of experts would never agree to give up the test.

However, out of his feelings for Base No. 2 and his relationship with Professor Wang Rawls, Su Chen felt it necessary to give a reminder.

He kicked Luo Zhiguo and signaled Luo Zhiguo to go and talk to Professor Wang and Rawls.

If I can't say it, Luo Zhiguo can certainly say it.

Luo Zhiguo was somewhat reluctant, but under the threat of Su Chen's gaze, he finally came to Professor Wang and tugged at the corner of his clothes with his arm.

"There seems to be something wrong with this track. I think we should not test it."

When Professor Wang heard Luo Zhiguo's words, he immediately looked unhappy and stared at Luo Zhiguo, asking: "What's the problem?"

Luo Zhiguo was speechless when asked.

How would he know? This was what Su Chen said.

Seeing that Professor Wang had no intention of changing, he had no choice but to move Su Chen out.

"This is what Su Chen said. If you don't want to believe it, forget it."

When Professor Wang heard that it was Su Chen who raised the question, his expression immediately changed and he stared at the railroad tracks in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Is there really something wrong with the rails?
But the rails have been studied and investigated repeatedly by them.

no problem.

And in preparation for this experiment, they had conducted small-scale tests some time ago.

It can be said that they confirmed that there was no problem at all with the rails.

But now Su Chen expressed the opposite opinion, which made him wonder whether he should conduct the test or not.

When he came to Rawls, he told him what happened and asked Rawls what he thought.

Rawls had a cold face. He looked at Luo Zhiguo, who was gloating with his arms folded, and then glanced at Su Chen.

Seeing Su Chen nod slightly at him, he knew that this was indeed what Su Chen said.

However, he didn't believe there was anything wrong with the track.

I also believe in the abilities of the experts present.

"Professor Wang, what do you think we should do?"

Rawls threw this difficult problem to Professor Wang.

Professor Wang rubbed his face, gritted his teeth and said, "We were originally going to test the rails today, and we invited Su Chen and the others here to let them witness this moment."

"Even if there is a problem with the rails, we can't just give up suddenly."

"Even if I fail, it's okay."

"There will always be various failures on the road of research. Failure is commonplace for us. Just keep testing."

When Rawls heard him say this, he announced a test.

First, the defensive functionality is tested.

Once the rails were running, the defense function was immediately activated.

Beams of light emerged from the rails, rising into the sky and forming barriers above.

The barriers will be connected together to form a huge defense shield that will cover the entire base. There were no problems at the beginning, and the light beams also rushed up at various locations according to their running trajectories.

But when the beam of light was about to appear on the screen, a problem occurred.

Some of the light beams opened the defense barrier normally.

But some of the light beams were motionless.

This results in the defense barrier not being able to be fully connected.

That’s not all. When the defense barriers cannot be completely connected together, a kind of pressure is created.

This pressure caused the defensive barriers that had been formed to shatter.

In just a few seconds, the half-built defense barrier in the sky collapsed instantly.

Not only that, the beam of light seemed to be under some kind of pressure and slowly disappeared into the air.

This scene left everyone stunned.

Even Luo Zhiguo and Yuan Jingna, who knew that an accident would happen, were shocked by what they saw.

The two people no longer felt gloating, but were instead filled with confusion and puzzlement.

what's up?
Why does this happen?

Professor Wang was even more dumbfounded, not to mention the other experts, who all stared upwards, thinking they had seen it wrong.

Some experts rubbed their eyes, and the master scolded the person who started it: "What's going on? Did you make a mistake?"

The start-up personnel looked stunned.

He started the business according to normal procedures, who knew this would happen.

Several experts came to the control room, looked at the instruments inside, stared at the researcher who had just started it, and asked him how he had started it.

The researchers repeated the procedure they had just started.

No one noticed anything wrong.

While they were talking, Rawls, Professor Wang and others had already surrounded Su Chen.

Because Su Chen had reminded them just now, they knew that only Su Chen knew where the problem with the railroad tracks occurred.

Everyone looked at Su Chen silently, hoping that Su Chen could point out the problem.

Su Chen walked to a railroad track, squatted down and stared at it carefully.

Although he knew there would be problems with the tracks, he didn't expect them to be so serious.

The reason he discovered the problem with the track was because there was a slight deformation somewhere on the track.

Most people cannot see this deformation, but Su Chen can tell it apart.

The material used for railroad tracks is a composite material, and deformation of this composite material is difficult to detect.

Su Chen was able to discover this because he had studied this material many times before.

Because the material was deformed, Su Chen could judge that Luo Zhiguo and others must have conducted some kind of test before he came.

Tests that can deform the rail material must be defense tests and attack tests.

From this, we can infer that there are problems with the defense test and the attack test.

If there is no problem, the material cannot deform.

However, Su Chen couldn't tell exactly where the problem was.

Su Chen tapped the black material in front of him with his fingers and said to Professor Wang beside him: "Look at this material, is there anything unusual?"

Professor Wang looked at it for a long time but didn't find anything unusual, so he shook his head slightly.

He stared at Su Chen with curiosity.

Su Chen looked at the others again and asked them if they had found anything.

Others also shook their heads.

They are not as good as Professor Wang in this regard, so how can they possibly discover anything?

Su Chen was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that no one noticed this problem.

Just when Su Chen was about to talk to them, other experts came over.

The expert transferred from Base No. 3 saw Su Chen squatting in front of a piece of material and questioning everyone, and he felt extremely unhappy.

One of the experts walked up to Su Chen and said with a cold face: "Why are you staring at this material?"

"You won't tell us that there is something wrong with this material?"

“We have gone through a number of tests and there is absolutely no problem with the material.”

Su Chen thought for a moment and said calmly: "This material has undergone a slight deformation."

"If you don't believe it, you can use an instrument to test it."

"I think it might be because the material is not strong enough that caused what happened just now."

As soon as this statement was uttered, it immediately aroused dissatisfaction among most experts.

Because it took them dozens of days to research this mixed material, and they also tested it.

It can be confirmed that the material can withstand various pressures.

Now Su Chen has overturned all their previous research results. How can this not make them angry?

The expert who had just spoken couldn't help but sneered, "Haha, I know you are capable, but what you just said, I think is nonsense."

"Do you know how long it took us to develop this material? And how many tests did we go through?"

"You are just talking on paper."

"You don't understand this material at all."

Su Chen didn't say much and stood up silently.

Other experts whispered.

Some people blamed Su Chen, while others just stared at the material and fell into deep thought.

Professor Wang immediately asked someone to bring instruments to test the material.

After testing, it was found that there was indeed slight deformation on the surface of the material, which was not visible to the naked eye.

This caused everyone to wonder.

They can't see it, so why can Su Chen see it?

Professor Wang raised a question.

Su Chen glanced at the sky and told everyone very directly.

"It's indeed invisible to the naked eye, but when sunlight shines on the surface of the material, it will show a kind of fluctuation, ah."

"This fluctuation can tell whether the material is deforming."

Everyone observed the material again according to Su Chen's method and indeed found that there were unusual conditions on the surface of the material.

"However, this does not prove that the material cannot withstand this kind of pressure."

Experts have raised various objections.

Su Chen was no longer willing to communicate with them, because once the materials changed, it proved that they were under some kind of pressure.

And this pressure may come from natural phenomena.

Excluding natural phenomena, there must be something that exerts a certain amount of pressure.

And this pressure is nothing more than a kind of energy displayed on the rails.

Several experts wanted to argue with Su Chen a few more times, but Su Chen didn't say a word, which made them lose their temper immediately. They could only glare at Su Chen fiercely and said nothing more.

Professor Wang fully agreed with Su Chen's point of view, but he had some doubts.

Even if there is a problem with the materials, it is impossible for the entire large-scale defense barrier to have problems.
