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

Chapter 373: Now that we have done it on the blue planet, we need to do it on the moon as well, right?
In the next few days, Su Chen lived peacefully in Base No. 2 and rarely went out.

He also knew that there might be many people who disliked him. Why would he go out and suffer the wrath?

Why go out and endure other people's ridicule? It's better to stay here and read a book.

If there is any advantage to this base, it is that there are more books, and the books in this base are different from the books Su Chen read before.

Because everyone belongs to different countries, the contents of the books will be different.

Rawls and Professor Wang did not come to disturb Su Chen. They basically met every day at mealtime. Su Chen used to go to the restaurant to eat, but this time when he came back to the base, he basically ate in his room. This was also Rawls' order, so he had someone deliver the food to Su Chen.

Since everything has been delivered, there is no need for Su Chen to go out.

Yuan Jingna and Su Chen were treated completely differently. He was like an ordinary staff member in the base. Although there were no restrictions on his career path, he had to eat and sleep the same as other people. He had to go to the restaurant to eat and turn off the lights on time when sleeping.

Because I'm currently researching railway engineering, the power requirements are extremely high.

In order to save a certain amount of electricity, except for Su Chen's room where electricity can be used at any time, there are basically certain restrictions on other people's rooms.

Especially at night, some high-function devices must be deactivated before 11 o'clock, which makes Yuan Jingna very dissatisfied.

She wanted to leave this base several times. She never expected that the base would even restrict the use of electricity. It shows how bad this base is.

Although he was grumbling in his heart, he ultimately did not leave because he really wanted to see the final result of the railway project.

Can these people complete the railway and test it successfully on their own?

If they still need Su Chen, Yuan Jingna would be very disappointed.

He had no opinion about Su Chen, but he also hoped that other scientific researchers could complete a large project without Su Chen's help.

Making the rails heavier is a relatively large project. If they can complete it on their own without Su Chen's help, they can also prove their strength and deal a blow to Su Chen.

Tell Su Chen that without him, it’s not that others can’t accomplish anything.

However, Yuan Jingna's idea soon came to nothing.

It seemed that without Su Chen, nothing could be done.

After Professor Wang and a group of people checked with equipment for several days, they found that there were huge problems with the materials of the rails. In addition to the materials, problems seemed to occur in other places as well.

These problems were not discovered before testing.

After research and discussion by Professor Wang and his colleagues, they believed that the reason so many problems suddenly emerged was entirely due to the activation of the defense and attack functions.

After a heated discussion, a conclusion was reached.

There is nothing wrong with most of the functions of the rails, the only problem is the attack and defense functions.

These two functions also caused problems with the rails. Some experts suggested that these two functions could be cancelled to turn the rails into ordinary rails.

This idea was opposed by the vast majority of people, and some people even wanted to scold the expert who put forward the idea.

What's the point of building an ordinary railway track on Mars?
When introducing this railway track, they all felt ashamed. They came here to study high technology and some rare things on Earth.

These experts are not architects or engineers, and what they are studying is not an ordinary railway track. Most importantly, there is no need to study an ordinary railway track.

But they have already wasted a month or two, wasted so much time, used so many precious materials, and finally developed an ordinary railroad track. How can they still have the face to stay in the base? How can they still have the face to live in this world? It would be better for them to commit suicide.

How to manufacture railroad tracks has been researched many years ago. Do they still need to research it?

The expert who made the suggestion lowered his head in despair, wishing he could hide his head under the table.

He just made a small suggestion. He just didn't want to embarrass everyone too much, and he didn't want to waste any more energy and materials.

If they continue their research, more problems may arise, and they may find it difficult to solve the current problems.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with the method he proposed, he thought there was something wrong with these people.

In addition to the defensive and offensive functions, the rails they studied are actually much more powerful than normal rails, and they also have some functions that ordinary rails are unable to perform.

Rawls and Professor Wang also strongly opposed this matter.

They had the same idea as other experts: they didn't need to research ordinary railroad tracks or build them on their own bases.

If we want to build something, we naturally have to build something special, and both defensive and offensive functions are essential.

If it doesn't even have these two most basic functions, then the railroad becomes a symbol of insult to them.

It is better to destroy it than to let it exist.

Luo Zhiguosan was a little headache because of the noise. He rubbed his face helplessly and said impatiently: "Stop arguing. We still have to continue researching, continue to find problems, and continue to solve problems."

"Since we have been able to study this far, I also believe that we have the ability to take the rails further and solve all the problems."

"I'll give you plenty of time, so feel free to research. The first thing you need to research is the two functions of attack and defense. You have to make these two functions work on the rails no matter what."

"Otherwise, all our previous research and efforts will be in vain."

In order to put some pressure on everyone, Rawls said one more sentence before leaving.

"You don't want to be laughed at by others, do you?"

Who will laugh at them?
Luo Zhiguo and Su Chen.

These were the first two people that everyone thought of, but they were a little unfair to Su Chen because Luo Zhiguo might laugh at them, but Su Chen definitely wouldn't.

However, in their eyes, Su Chen was the first person to mock them, and they even thought that Su Chen had already started to mock them.

In fact, Su Chen doesn’t know how to do that.

Of course, Rawls wanted to make this group of people feel hostile and motivated. In fact, he knew that Su Chen would never mock them.

But Luo Zhiguo is someone who will definitely make fun of others.

In fact, there are many people who would mock them.

If this matter were spread to Earth, I'm afraid there would be even more people mocking them.

As for Mars, there will be no shortage of people mocking them, and people from the other two bases will also mock them.

Excluding the other two bases, there would be people mocking them within Base No. 2 alone.

Because Rawls handed this project over to Professor Wang and the group of experts transferred here, and most of the experts originally at the base did not participate in this project.

Now those experts have already started to mock them, saying that these experts have no ability and are about the same as them.

The shouting was quite loud, but the results were just so-so, even worse than theirs.

So recently, the experts who were transferred here were full of anger and wanted to make some achievements for others to see. But the more anxious they were, the less they could accomplish.

Professor Wang looked at Rawls's back as he left and sighed in his heart.

He didn't think that what Rawls said would have any significant effect. It would only make the two sides more discordant. It would be better not to say it.

Could it be possible that making these people angry would enrich their knowledge and enable them to solve their current problems?

No.

As a scientific researcher, you need to learn to be calm and learn to analyze.

But when you are angry, you may not be able to remain calm.

analyze?

What else can be analyzed when you are angry?

Their irritable mood will make them unable to analyze anything, and may even lead to other mistakes.

But Rawls had already said it and could not take it back. Even if he wanted to take it back, the experts had heard it.

Professor Wang calmed the experts down again and then led them to continue their work.

Perhaps because Rawls's words had some effect, the experts worked harder.

It can be described as forgetting to eat and sleep.

However, no matter how hard they tried, the problems they encountered were still not solved. They were exhausted one by one, and finally their fighting will became weaker and weaker, and more and more exhausted. In the end, some of them almost gave up.

However, I have not left the research group, but I no longer have the same spirit and impulse as before.

He won't take the initiative to do things, he just does whatever others ask him to do.

In the next half month, Professor Wang and others were still discovering and studying problems.

What gave Professor Wang a headache was that they found many problems.

What’s even more frustrating is that the problem has been discovered, but there is no way to solve it.

There are more than ten problems found so far, but only two of them can be solved. There has been no progress at all on the other problems, which has made Professor Wang very worried.

Other experts now have no interest in research and are all listless. Some experts feel it is too shameful to go out and hide in the laboratory every day.

Seeing other people in the base taking a detour, he was afraid of hearing others mock him.

If this continues, it will no longer be just a problem with the rails, but a problem with the mentality of the entire base.

Rawls has been busy with other things recently and did not ask Professor Wang about the progress of the railroad track problem.

But half a month had passed and Professor Wang had not given him any good news, so Rawls knew that the situation was not particularly good.

One day, Professor Wang came to see Rawls and told him with a frown that an expert had fainted.

After hearing this, Rawls was quite surprised and asked what was going on.

Professor Wang spread his hands helplessly, looked into the distance and sighed.

"Maybe it's because I've been too tired recently, or maybe it's because I'm too angry."

What he said was ambiguous, but the implication was that he fainted because of research problems.

Rawls frowned, somewhat surprised. He could faint just because of a research question. He really couldn't believe it. He also found that Professor Wang was being evasive in his words, as if he was hiding something from him.

He deliberately put on a stern face and slammed the table heavily, "Professor Wang, what's going on? Explain it to me clearly."

Professor Wang was really frightened by Rawls, and had no choice but to tell Rawls the real reason.

He didn't lie to Rawls, he just concealed a few things.

The reason why this expert fainted, in addition to physical and mental fatigue, was also because he had an argument with someone today.

The people who quarreled with him were several scientific research experts from the original base. Those experts said some extremely unpleasant words, which made this expert faint from anger.

Moreover, this expert is not an ordinary person. He has a relatively high status and prestige among scientific researchers. He is also recognized as one of the most capable people among the public. He is considered to be Professor Wang's right-hand man and one of the persons in charge of the railway engineering project.

Those experts used the railway project to mock this expert. Finally, this expert couldn't stand it anymore and fainted from anger.

When Rawls heard about this, he became furious and immediately prepared to punish those experts who mocked others.

His heart is now clearly leaning towards the experts transferred here, because these experts must be maintained well, and they are guests who come to help.

Don’t say they have a point. Even if they don’t, the people in the original base should be patient.

But now this kind of thing has happened.

If someone gets out, what will others think of them.

People came to your base to help, and not only did you not thank them, you also mocked them, making them so angry.

Who will be willing to help in the future?

What will people think if Su Chen and Luo Zhiguo find out about this?

What if Su Chen feels sad for the loss of his friend and thinks that he might end up like this in the future, will others still help you?

Anyway, Rawls was very dissatisfied. He went to where the experts lived, called those experts out, and scolded them severely in front of many people.

They also claimed that they were all just gossipers and had no ability at all, and were hundreds or thousands of times worse than the expert who fainted from anger.

Several experts were scolded so much that their faces turned red and they almost fought with Rawls. Fortunately, there was Professor Wang next to them. Professor Wang said some nice words and finally made Rawls shut up.

Several experts held back.

This matter has become a hot topic.

Luo Zhiguo even made a special phone call to ask about this matter.

He asked about this matter with the attitude of caring about the scientific researchers at his base, and also put a little pressure on Rawls.

Rawls quickly apologized on the phone and said that something like this would never happen again.

After hanging up the phone, Rawls went to find Su Chen.
