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

Chapter 417: This thing? It's called the Blue Star Restarter!
Su Chen was already adept at building the base. After he completed the preliminary construction of the base and everyone could carry out various tasks in the base, he convened a general meeting.

At the meeting, Su Chen first gave a certain recognition to everyone's work and gave certain rewards to several outstanding staff members.

We encourage everyone to continue working, and at the same time give everyone a few days off so that everyone can have a good rest, which can be considered a reward for everyone.

After all, everyone has just arrived at the Jupiter Base and is unfamiliar with the environment of the Jupiter Base. There are psychological pressures and work pressures. In short, there are all kinds of pressures.

In order to help everyone relieve the pressure, Su Chen gave them a holiday.

And everyone has been working really hard in recent times.

As soon as Su Chen mentioned the holiday, the scene immediately became lively and everyone clapped hard.

Clearly, they really wanted to relax.

However, Su Chen's strategy was to give a sweet date and then a slap in the face.

Just when they were given some good news, they were given some not-so-good news.

Su Chen coughed and took the microphone to announce to everyone.

"After you have rested, we need to work more seriously."

"I was thinking of discussing work issues with you guys after we had a break, but I have a meeting, so I might as well take this opportunity today to tell you everything."

"After the break, we have three work centers. The first one is the construction of the base. Although it has been initially built successfully, we still need to continue our efforts. This work will never stop."

"Everyone must work hard and conscientiously. This is the first thing. The second thing is the safety of the base. I will leave this issue to you, Wang Jianfeng."

Wang Jianfeng stood up and saluted Su Chen, loudly said that he would complete the mission, and then slowly sat down.

It is impossible not to take the security of the base seriously, and the base faces many security issues.

Security issues now and security issues in the future.

This is a rather complicated issue. Su Chen plans to hold a small meeting after some time to discuss this matter with them in detail.

The third issue is planting.

At present, Su Chen is not particularly satisfied with the planting at the planting base.

I hope they can develop some better plants so that the base can be self-sufficient in the future.

Although we have now reached the point of self-sufficiency, the products are too monotonous. Currently, the base can only grow potatoes, tomatoes and the like.

We can't let everyone eat potatoes and tomatoes all the time. Most of the food needs to be transported from other bases.

This is not what Su Chen needs to see, because if a war breaks out in the future.

The enemy is likely to cut off the transportation channels, and then they will lose the things that others are transporting.

Do they only rely on potatoes and tomatoes? Although they can do so, in order to have better development and hope in the future.

Therefore, planting should never be neglected.

Su Chen has already made up his mind that if this group of experts are still unable to achieve the targets he has set for them, he will ask Yuan Jingna to come over.

Anyway, Yuan Jingna has nothing to do at Tiangong Base.

When the planting experts heard the tasks Su Chen assigned to them, they looked a little unnatural.

It’s not that I’m angry, but I feel guilty that I didn’t complete the task well.

Several planting experts secretly made up their minds that they would never let Su Chen look down on them and would definitely grow more things.

Originally, Su Chen gave them a holiday, but because Su Chen assigned them follow-up tasks in advance, most of them did not rest during the holiday, but were busy working.

This surprised Su Chen. In fact, their work was not stressful and they did not need to work every day.

In fact, you can work again after taking a break.

However, this group of people still felt a certain amount of pressure, and Su Chen regretted telling them in advance.

He sincerely wanted everyone to have a rest, but he didn't expect it to backfire.

There wasn't much time for rest originally, so after the rest everyone returned to their normal work.

On this day, Rawls came to see Su Chen.

Originally, Su Chen wanted to use the excuse that he was busy with work and did not show up, but Rawls seemed to know what Su Chen was thinking and asked the person who notified him to tell him.

If you don't see me, I won't leave.

There was no other way, Su Chen could only meet with Rawls.

Rawls didn't even need to say anything, Su Chen knew what he wanted to do. Apart from asking for his help, he basically had no other business.

As expected, Rolls came to ask Su Chen for help, but this time Su Chen didn't need to go in person.

Their base lacks some construction materials and hopes Su Chen can provide support.

Originally, Su Chen could decide this matter, but Su Chen wanted to be cautious.

He told Rawls that he couldn't decide and needed to hold a meeting.

When Rawls heard this, he stood there in a daze, looking at Su Chen in disbelief, thinking that Su Chen was deliberately making things difficult for him.

Can't Su Chen handle such a small matter by himself? Is there still a need for a meeting?

But since Su Chen said so, Rawls had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Then go to the meeting, I'll wait for you here."

Su Chen immediately called together several key figures in the base and held a small meeting in front of Rawls.

The main issue was to discuss whether the base materials should be given to Rawls.

Several people expressed their opinions. Wang Jianfeng, as the commanding general of the base, was responsible for the security of the entire base and had always disliked Rawls.

The reason why he disliked Rawls was because Rawls was an outsider. He felt that such a person should not be helped. He even complained about Rawls setting up a base near them.

However, he could not object to the decision, but he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Now that Rawls came to them for help, Wang Jianfeng was the first person to object.

As for Zhou Xingchen and Li Dongsheng, neither of them hated Rawls.

But they also didn't want to take responsibility, especially since Su Chen's attitude towards Rawls was unclear, they didn't dare to make a decision on this matter casually.

Zhou Xingchen thought for a moment and said, "This is a serious matter, so let's ask the higher-ups."

Li Dongsheng nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, we should still ask the higher-ups for instructions."

Rawls was so angry listening to their discussions.

It was just such a small matter, the materials needed were not particularly expensive, and the quantity was not large. They could have made the decision themselves, but they had to make a big deal out of it.

He knew that these people had some opinions about him, but they were discussing it in front of him and their arguments were well-reasoned, so Rawls could not say anything.

Afterwards, Su Chen asked Wang Jianfeng to contact Mr. Li and ask him what to do about this matter.
After a while, Wang Jianfeng came back dejected.

Mr. Li scolded him on the phone and told him to do as Rawls asked and not to bother him with such matters in the future, as they could solve it themselves.

Wang Jianfeng thought to himself: Can this be blamed on me?
Su Chen asked me to come to you, why are you scolding me? If you have the ability, go and scold Su Chen. He felt that Mr. Li would never scold Su Chen.

After coming back, he whispered a few words in Su Chen's ear and told him what Mr. Li meant.

Su Chen smiled and looked at Rawls who looked nervous, and said lightly: "Mr. Li has agreed."

"I'll arrange for someone to prepare the materials you need now."

He looked at Wang Jianfeng and said, "Go and prepare the materials. Remember to pay attention to safety."

This last sentence is very meaningful.

Wang Jianfeng didn't understand why Su Chen said that, but Rawls felt humiliated.

He felt that Su Chen's words were a reminder to Wang Jianfeng to be careful and not to steal things.

He has apologized countless times for that matter, why is Su Chen still holding on to it?
He was really angry, so he stopped and looked at Su Chen.

"What did you mean by your last sentence?"

"Do you think I'll steal your things?"

What Su Chen meant was naturally what Rawls was thinking.

He glanced at Rawls and said calmly, "I don't mean that. Don't think too much about it."

Rawls said nothing more and turned away. This time he did not be servile and even swore secretly in his heart: I will only ask you for help this time, and I will never come to you again even if I encounter great difficulties in the future.

Although he got the materials he needed, Rawls was not happy and left angrily.

When I returned to the base, I happened to meet Professor Wang and the old expert who had just finished work.

These two people are together because they are researching a technology.

Seeing Rawls coming back, the two men hurried forward.

The old expert asked Rawls if he had got the things. He felt that Su Chen would not give the things to Rawls easily.

Rawls sneered and said, "How could they give me the things so easily? They made things difficult for me several times, and finally they had to give me the things after Mr. Li gave the order."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the old expert silently again.

I wanted to say something, but I swallowed the words back into my stomach.

Now that things have gotten to this point with Su Chen, I can’t afford to continue to be at odds with the old expert, otherwise it would be more trouble than it’s worth.

It can be said that it is a futile effort.

Seeing that Rawls was in a bad mood, the old expert asked again, "What's wrong with you? Did they embarrass you again?"

"Su Chen is such a fool. The matter has nothing to do with you at all. Why does he always embarrass you?"

This sentence finally made Rawls' anger burst out.

He said coldly: "Why else? It's just because of that matter."

After saying this, the old expert's face turned red and he remained silent.

Professor Wang at the side quickly tried to smooth things over, "Let's not talk about the past. We've come to Jupiter, why are we still talking about Mars?"

Rawls frowned and said, "Did I want to bring it up? It was Su Chen who chose to bring up that matter."

"They even had someone follow me, as if they were afraid I would steal something. You have never experienced such humiliation. If you had, you would be even angrier than I am."

After hearing what Rawls said and how angry he was, Professor Wang didn't say anything.

Originally he planned to meet Su Chen, but now he has given up the idea.

Going to see Su Chen now might just add fuel to the fire, and Su Chen might even ignore him.

This matter can only be postponed a little longer.

In the past, Luo Zhiguo helped them cover up and ease the atmosphere, so things were still relatively good.

Now that Luo Zhiguo can't come, it's really not easy for them to face Su Chen alone.

At this time, the old expert suddenly said: "I got some news from my friends. Su Chen's visit to Jupiter this time is actually full of difficulties. Many people are against him coming to Jupiter."

"He was even assigned several assistants. These assistants were called his assistants, but in fact they were on an equal footing with him, and even served as a supervisor."

"What I mean is that you don't need to get along well with Su Chen. Since he doesn't pay attention to you, you should stop looking for him. It's the same thing to get along well with a few other people, isn't it?"

"If you get along well with the other three people, and they help you, Su Chen alone won't be able to do anything to you."

This sentence was like a wake-up call for Rawls, and he thought the old expert's idea was good.

However, he didn't intend to confront Su Chen.

He just hoped that at the critical moment, someone would speak up for him, so that he would not suffer the humiliation he suffered today.

Professor Wang on the side frowned and said nothing.

He felt that the old expert's attention was too unethical. It seemed that he was helping Rawls, but in fact he was pushing Rawls to the opposite side of Su Chen.

Once this opposition is formed, things will become more complicated.

He firmly disagreed.

But he couldn't say anything in front of the old expert.

Only after the old expert left did he cautiously remind Rawls.

"The old expert has a grudge against Su Chen and his men, so he deliberately wants to deal with Su Chen. However, there are misunderstandings between us and Su Chen, which are misunderstandings that can be reconciled."

"Don't trust him too much."

"According to his line of thought, you are a member of a gang, and you are an outsider of the base."

"You are an outsider, and you are forming a gang in someone else's base. This matter can be a big deal or a small one."

"To be honest, if you really do this, not only will Su Chen not be able to tolerate you, but Mr. Li and the others will also have opinions about you."

"The reason why we can come to Jupiter and get some support is entirely because of Mr. Li and his people."

"If we form a gang to do this kind of thing, Mr. Li will not support us in the future."

"Of course, as the old expert said, if you do this, you will naturally get support from some people."

"But you have to think carefully about whose support you want, and don't do anything that you will regret for the rest of your life."

"We deeply regret what we did before, and we have reached a result we don't want to see."

"If you make the same mistake again, you will be doomed."

Rawls looked at Professor Wang, silent and thoughtful.

He understood what Professor Wang meant, but he really couldn't bear to just swallow his anger.
