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

Chapter 378: Bases springing up like mushrooms after a rain!

Rawls coldly took out a document from under the conference table and threw it hard on the table.

"Do you think you are very capable? If it weren't for Su Chen, do you think you could have researched those things?"

"If it weren't for Su Chen's secret help, you probably wouldn't be able to research anything. These are the things Su Chen has researched. Take a good look at them yourself."

"Without Su Chen's research, how much have you researched on your own?"

Some experts had argued with Rawls before, but when Rawls took out a stack of information, everyone fell silent.

No one read the material. They felt it was a blatant humiliation and something that would destroy their honor.

They now wish they could rush up and destroy all the information, including Rawls, so that everything would be peaceful and they could continue with their own research.

"No one wants to take a look?" Rawls clenched his fists, pounded hard on a pile of information on the table, and stared at everyone present indifferently.

No one spoke, everyone stared at Rawls with extreme dissatisfaction.

I don't understand what he is doing. They are obviously from the same base and they have common research, but now Rawls is against them everywhere, as if he and Su Chen are in the same group.

One of the experts stood up slowly, his face was ashen and the blue veins on his forehead seemed to be throbbing.

"Rolls, we know that you have a good relationship with Su Chen."

"But we are from the same base, and we have the same goal. Why do you always go against us and help Su Chen?"

This sentence seemed to express the thoughts of others. Everyone nodded frequently and looked at Rawls with confusion and anger.

I hope Rawls can give them a reasonable explanation.

Rawls sneered. At this point, this group of people could still turn the tables, question him, and accuse him of being wrong.

He finally saw it.

This group of people will never feel that they are wrong and will always think that others have let them down.

He stared at the expert who had just spoken, with a hint of a sneer on his face, "Why do I have to stand with you?"

"Everything I just said is true. I don't favor any party. Su Chen has done so much research for you without seeking fame or profit. What about you?"

"You are narrow-minded. You are jealous of others' talents and drive them away."

"That's fine. Now that they've left, shouldn't you guys do some research? I've given you so many days, what have you come up with?"

"It's fine if you can't come up with any research, but you still have the nerve to sneer and mock others. Don't you feel ashamed of yourself?"

"Don't you think that besides being a waste, you are also a disgusting villain?"

"We are from the same base. Because we are from the same base, I gave you so many opportunities. Unfortunately, have you ever cherished them?"

"What is the purpose of inviting Su Chen here? Isn't it to allow you to conduct better research and complete the railway project faster?"

"You don't appreciate it. You're afraid that others will take away your honor. You think your abilities are the same as others, or even better than others."

"Now it's all right. Those who should leave have left, and those who shouldn't leave have stayed. As for the group of people who stayed, you guys should prove your strength."

The experts were so angry that their faces turned red and their necks became thick. They stared at Rawls angrily, wishing they could eat him.

This guy's words are so irritating. He described them as the worst people in the world, as if they were even worse than thugs.

Are they such a piece of shit? Are they so filthy?
not at all.

They just did what anyone would do.

The experts complained one after another and explained their actions.

They did not admit that they drove Su Chen away to protect their own honor, but for the benefit of the entire base.

Rawls listened coldly.

He wanted to hear what else these people had to say. After they finished speaking, he would drop a bomb on them to see what they would say next.

After everyone finished speaking, Rawls looked at them coldly, suddenly spread his hands, and said indifferently: "You don't have to yell in front of me, and you don't have to explain to me."

"Because there's no point in explaining it to me, and I won't listen."

"You are here on loan. I still treat you as guests. Just research what you need to research. If you can't come up with anything, forget it. I don't expect you to come up with anything earth-shattering."

"But there is one thing you seem to have forgotten."

"After a while, you still have to go back to other bases, but you heard what Luo Zhiguo said. He doesn't seem to want you anymore."

"So, you should make plans for your future."

Rawls thought that what he said would scare them and make them realize their mistakes.

However, this group of experts did not realize it, instead they looked disdainful.

One of the experts said coldly: "There are three bases on Mars. Do we have to go back to base number three?"

"Your base should welcome us, right? Even if you don't, we can go to Base No. 1."

"Base No. 1 should welcome us. Even if we are not welcome here, we can go back to Earth. There are so many companies on Earth. Can't we find a decent job?"

"Do you think we want to stay here?"

"Yeah, don't think that no one wants us except you. There are many people who want us."

Rawls realized that he had made some mistakes, but he remained calm, nodded silently, and smiled at them.

"Okay, okay, as long as there's a place to go."

"Now let's talk about the rails."

When talking about this matter, the experts were silent again. They were like failed chickens, hiding in the chicken coop and dared not come out.

He could only look around secretly with his little eyes, as if he was afraid of being discovered and pulled out of the chicken coop.

"Why is no one talking? Didn't you guys just say something nice? Didn't you guys make sense? Aren't you fearless? Why don't you just keep silent when you encounter a real problem?"

"You are so disappointing to me."

Every word Rawls said was full of sarcasm. These experts were not stupid. They kept silent until they found a suitable reason to fight back.

Once they are given the opportunity and find a reason, they will never be polite to Rawls.

Some experts turned their attention to Professor Wang, and all research matters were led by Professor Wang.

Now that Rawls asked the research questions, they felt that Professor Wang should speak.

One of the experts was even more cunning. He thought to himself: Professor Wang is from this base and has a good relationship with Rawls. If he puts everything on Professor Wang, Rawls can't do anything to him.

He can be ruthless to us and drive us out of the base, but can he also drive Professor Wang out of the base?
This is absolutely impossible.

Thinking of this, he sensibly raised his hand, like a student about to answer the teacher.

Rawls stared at him coldly, then nodded at him, indicating that he could speak.

He looked around and suddenly set his eyes on Professor Wang. He smiled at him and said loudly, "If you have any questions about research, you can ask Professor Wang directly."

"We are led by Professor Wang, and the entire research project is also headed by him. If you don't understand something or have any questions, you can ask him and he will answer them one by one." The experts nodded immediately as if they had discovered a new continent. Many experts began to shift the blame to Rawls and forced all the blame on Professor Wang.

At this moment, Professor Wang was like a giant Buddha, welcoming everyone who came.

No matter what anyone said, he just nodded and accepted everyone's opinion.

Rawls looked at them with disappointment and couldn't help revealing a hint of sneer on the corner of his mouth. The sneer was not very obvious, but the experts could all feel it.

The ridicule made them feel uncomfortable.

Rawls said nothing, shook his head in disappointment, and left silently.

At the beginning, there was noise, quarrels and discussions in the conference room.

But after a while, the sound gradually became much quieter.

After a while, the sound disappeared completely.

The experts looked at each other and no one spoke.

Although what they said just now was very good, everyone knew what was going on, and they knew even more clearly whether what they were doing was right or wrong.

When everything is settled, they will think about what they just said.

If people still have a conscience, they will feel ashamed of their actions and will not be happy about their actions.

As long as they have any sense of shame, they will naturally shut up.

Everyone closed their eyes.

They still have a sense of shame.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a chair moving in front, and everyone's eyes were focused on the front.

Professor Wang pushed the chair behind him and slowly stood up.

He did not go up to the podium. Instead, he turned around and looked at the experts around him, forced a smile, said nothing, and left silently.

The meeting room remained silent. No one spoke, and no one left. No one knew what to say, or whether they should leave.

Suddenly, an expert stood up in the middle of the crowd, smiled and said to them, "Okay, there's nothing else to do. Let's go and do what we need to do."

"Are you sure everything is fine?" an expert said coldly.

"What else do you think is going on?"

"What else do you think is going on? Our railway project has not been researched out yet."

"We have offended Rawls again. Professor Wang may not like us either. What should we do? What should we do in the future?"

"We'll talk about the future later. He won't dare us to leave now. We are still useful."

One of the experts said proudly.

However, as soon as he finished saying this, he was given the cold shoulder by many people.

It is true that they are useful, but will Rawls keep them because of their usefulness?

not necessarily.

As long as Su Chen is invited, this group of people might not be able to defeat Su Chen alone.

What's more, the base also has experts, and it won't be impossible without them.

Things are not as simple as he said.

"Then what do you think we should do? Should we apologize?" One of the experts looked reluctant.

Before anyone else could offer any opinions, he said firmly, "Anyway, I won't apologize unless I die."

A friend next to him laughed and said, "If you were dead, you wouldn't have to apologize."

"I think apologizing is also a solution."

As soon as the word "apology" was mentioned, everyone immediately exploded and started talking.

Some people think that apologizing is nothing, while others think that apologizing is too shameful and they would never do it.

Among this group of experts, there are several prestigious people.

One of them, an elderly man in his sixties, patted the table.

After everyone quieted down, he thought for a moment and said, "We were indeed wrong. The most important thing is that we didn't come up with anything."

"I think we can apologize to Rawls. Since we have apologized, we should not only apologize to Rawls, but also to Professor Wang."

"You know what you did just now. It's okay to apologize to him, but you also have to apologize to Luo Zhiguo."

"Luo Zhiguo is the commander-in-chief of our base. You heard what he said just now. We can't offend him completely. We should apologize when we should apologize and bow our heads when we should bow our heads. We should always leave a way out for ourselves."

"Do I still have to apologize to Su Chen?"

One of the experts asked dissatisfiedly.

This sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone looked at the authoritative old man.

The old man shook his head. He knew what these people were thinking, and he would not apologize to Su Chen.

How old is he? How old is Su Chen? How is it possible for an elder to apologize to a younger person?

This was a blatant humiliation to him.

"There's no need to apologize to Su Chen. Apart from Su Chen, I think there's nothing wrong with us apologizing to other people."

"We are wrong, what do you think?"

Everyone thought about it and felt that for the sake of their future, for the sake of being able to live a good life in the base, and for them to have better meals three times a day, they must apologize to Rawls.

As long as they don't apologize to Su Chen, they can endure the humiliation.

It would not be possible for so many people to go to Rawls to apologize, so a few representatives had to be elected.

Finally, they selected three representatives to apologize to Rawls.

When the three representatives arrived at Rawls' office, they were locked outside by Rawls.

These three people were quite determined and stood at the door without leaving.

However, their patience is limited.

They don't think they have done anything wrong, and they apologize for themselves.

It is to endure humiliation, to make compromises, and to bow your head for the sake of survival.

Just when the three people were getting impatient and were about to leave, the door slowly opened and Rawls invited them in.
