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

Chapter 421: A Different World! I finally understand the words!
This time, the old expert had no hope. He knew that he was finished, so he didn't resist anymore, nor did he say a word. He just lowered his head like a dead man.

After Wang Jianfeng returned to the room again, he asked the soldiers to drag the old expert out. Then he looked at the nervous Rawls and Professor Wang with a smile and enthusiastically invited them to sit down.

How could these two people dare to sit down? They wanted to leave right away, but they couldn't leave now.

This matter is not over yet.

Although the old expert was dealt with, they still had to give Su Chen an explanation for this matter. If the explanation was not clear, Su Chen might still hold on to it.

They also realized that Su Chen didn't seem to care much about this matter, but there was still a Wang Jianfeng.

I don’t know what Wang Jianfeng is thinking. He has only been in contact with Su Chen for a few days, but he follows Su Chen’s lead and becomes Su Chen’s subordinate.

It really makes Rawls feel a little surprised.

He is also the commander-in-chief of the base, but he is not like Su Chen who can subdue a subordinate in just a few days. This really puzzles him.

As the commander-in-chief of the base, Rawls quickly calmed down and winked at Professor Wang.

Afterwards, the two of them sat on the sofa carelessly. They seemed calm, but they were actually very nervous.

Su Chen and Wang Jianfeng sat opposite them, and the two sides sat facing each other, forming a negotiation format.

But Su Chen basically didn't speak, it was Wang Jianfeng who spoke.

Wang Jianfeng first took out the surveillance video and placed it in front of the two people, asking them to watch it first.

After the two of them finished reading, Wang Jianfeng took out a cigar, lit it, took a puff, and asked slowly, "What do you two think of this matter?"

"Why did this old expert come to our base to steal things? I heard that this is not the first time such a thing has happened."

The last sentence was so devastating that it made Professor Wang feel extremely ashamed.

Rawls, on the other hand, sneered a few times with a cold face, "It's definitely not the first time. This guy is a repeat offender."

"However, since I've already been punished, there's no need to dwell on this matter."

When Wang Jianfeng heard what Rawls said, he simply abandoned the old expert and couldn't help laughing.

"You're right. It's happened and it's been resolved. There's really no need to keep pursuing it."

"But we feel like there's something fishy going on here. Why would an old expert like him steal this?"

"Is it for your base, or for an individual, or under the orders of someone else?"

Rawls's face darkened, and he calmly retorted: "Didn't you hear what he said? He has already said that this matter has nothing to do with others. Is it true, as he said, that you want to frame someone?"

Wang Jianfeng really didn't expect Rolls to be so sharp-tongued, and was speechless for a moment.

At this time, Su Chen spoke up, "Some things don't need to be explained too clearly, and we don't want to dig into the details, but you are the superiors of the old expert, you should give us a reasonable explanation."

"Otherwise, it will be difficult to report this matter to the higher-ups."

"You also know that this kind of thing requires a written document to be submitted. How do you want us to submit it? Are you going to just say that the old expert stole something, but not talk about why he stole it, the cause of the incident, and other things?"

"This might make the higher-ups unhappy. If they are unhappy and ask us to continue investigating this matter, I'm afraid you won't get any advantage."

"So, what you have to do now is to give us a reasonable explanation."

Although Rawls is eloquent, he can't say a word in front of Su Chen. He has thousands of words in his mouth, but he is speechless when he meets Su Chen's gentle eyes.

"Okay, I will give you a statement and will never embarrass you."

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to the base." Rawls stood up and prepared to leave.

Wang Jianfeng wanted to ask him a few more questions, but Su Chen stopped him with a look.

This matter ends here, there is no need to dwell on it any further.

Even if the truth is found out, Rawls will not be punished and his superiors will never make things difficult for him.

This was Su Chen's guess, but his guess was based on the current situation without any reference, and his guess was very accurate.

During the meeting, Mr. Li and his colleagues had directly pointed out the mastermind behind the scenes.

This is not important to Mr. Li and his friends, they just want to put an end to such things.

As for Rawls, they don't want to deal with him for the time being, or rather, Rawls is still useful for the time being, and they don't want to punish him.

Rawls and Professor Wang were silent on the way back, especially Professor Wang, who walked a little unsteadily.

The road was very smooth, but he almost fell to the ground several times. Fortunately, he was supported by Rolls.

Rawls was particularly concerned about him at this moment, fearing that he might be affected or have some physical problems.
"Are you okay? How about I carry you on my back?"

Professor Wang shook his head. He was fine, but his mind was in a mess and he was thinking about something, so he didn't pay attention to his feet.

For Rawls, the only person he can rely on in the base now is Professor Wang. If something happens to Professor Wang again, he really doesn’t know who to look for.

Moreover, Professor Wang is also the most powerful expert in the base.

Before, there were old experts who could compete with us, but now the old experts are probably gone, and only Professor Wang is left.

Therefore, he couldn't let anything happen to Professor Wang again.

Supporting Professor Wang as they continued walking forward, Rawls had nothing more to say.

Thinking of Professor Wang's previous warning to him, he regretted it very much. He should have listened to Professor Wang earlier, but it was too late to regret now.

There is nothing more to say except sighing.

When he was almost at the entrance of the base, Professor Wang suddenly turned around and looked behind him.

I can still vaguely see Su Chen and his group's base. Now the base has no name, so it can only be called a base.

At this moment, Professor Wang suddenly felt as if there was a mountain between him and the base.

It may not be easy to think about the past in the future.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh and shook his head.

Rawls patted him on the shoulder gently and made excuses for himself.

"You can't blame me for this. It was Su Chen who was too aggressive."

Professor Wang smiled and did not refute as he did before.

His mood now is as calm as a lake, without causing any waves.

Because he knew very well that his base had basically become a dead object and there was not much development.

What kind of results could their base achieve without Su Chen's help?

Think about when they were at the Mars base, before Su Chen's help, their base was like a slum, like the lowest level base, not even a base. Since Su Chen came, their base has been revitalized and slowly grown, but now they have completely offended Su Chen.

Suchen won't help them.

With their own manpower and their current level, they can definitely build a base, but they should not have any illusions about how good or powerful it will be.

Seeing that Professor Wang did not refute what he said, Rawls was a little curious. This was not in line with Professor Wang's previous style of doing things.

If he had said something like this in the past, Professor Wang would have definitely refuted him, but today he acted out of character.

"Why don't you say anything? Do you agree with what I said?" Rawls asked in a deliberately provocative tone.

Professor Wang shook his head helplessly. He was in no mood to talk about all this nonsense.

However, since Rawls asked, Professor Wang still said sincerely: "There is no need to talk about these things in the future. After something like this happened, we may have no contact with Su Chen in the future."

"Let's just do our own thing and build our own base."

Although this sentence did not refute, Rawls felt a chill down his spine.

According to Professor Wang, they will be very miserable in the future.

He snorted in disbelief, and said through gritted teeth: "Even without Su Chen's help, we won't necessarily be in such a bad situation. Don't forget that in addition to Su Chen, Mr. Li and others will also help us now."

"With their support, our base will definitely not be worse than Su Chen's."

"If our base can surpass Su Chen, I'm sure Mr. Li will look at us differently. Maybe we will surpass Su Chen in the future, and you will become an expert in surpassing Su Chen."

Professor Wang smiled and said nothing more.

He shouldn't have any extravagant expectations for such an unrealistic dream.

It is better to let Rawls realize this beautiful dream alone. He now just wants to build a good base and develop it. This is his biggest wish. He doesn't care about other things and will not participate in them anymore.

Back at the base, Professor Wang was busy with his work.

As for Rawls, he was worried about the old expert's problem and wanted to find other people for help, but in the end no one was willing to help him.

Just two days later, he received the exact news that the old expert had been sent away.

Once people are sent away, it is impossible for them to come back.

Rawls also gave up on saving the old experts.

After this incident, Rawls has been in a bad mood.

It took him almost half a month to adjust his mood and start building the base.

Having lost an important expert, Rolls encountered many difficulties in construction.

Fortunately, we have the old professors, so although the problem is difficult and not easy to solve, the base was established little by little with the efforts of Professor Wang and other experts.

Moreover, Mr. Li did not take his anger out on Rolls because of the previous incident. All the things that should be given were delivered to the base, which also allowed the base to develop better.

The most important thing is that now Rawls not only has a base, it also has a base on Mars.

The capabilities of the Mars base are very powerful, and he and Luo Zhiguo are still in contact, and Luo Zhiguo will also help him a lot.

In addition, there are already a lot of materials on the Mars base.

So, let his base on Jupiter grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not to mention Su Chen and his team. Rawls can make the base stronger and stronger, let alone Su Chen.

They are far superior to Rawls in terms of manpower and material resources, and their natural base is also stronger than Rawls and his team.

If you look at the two bases from above, you will find that Su Chen and his base is like a huge mountain, while the base built by Rawls and his base is like a small hill next to the mountain.

The strength between the two is obvious, and in comparison, Rawls' base seems extremely shabby and weak.

Many times, Rawls and Professor Wang would look towards Su Chen and his team's base from inside the base.

Because now Su Chen and his base has reached a certain scale, and the buildings are extremely tall, you can see some of the taller buildings of Su Chen and his base from inside their base.

When Rawls saw those buildings, he felt sad and felt like he was being monitored.

He felt that there must be someone inside the building observing him with binoculars and other equipment, so ever since he had this feeling, he rarely left the base.

Because when he walked out of the base, he would go to see the buildings not far away that were taller than theirs. He thought of Su Chen's face and the humiliation he suffered in the base.

This would make his mood extremely bad in a short period of time.

He had even specially convened a meeting before and asked this group of experts if there was any way to make the buildings of Su Chen's base disappear in front of him.

It would be best if we could build a barrier in front of the base to separate it from Su Chen and their base.

He felt that the appearance of a base's buildings near his own base was really disturbing.

Other experts also had the same feeling, but there was nothing they could do for the time being.

Some experts suggested leaving here and building a new base. This idea was recognized by some people, but opposed by others.

If they want to leave here, they will have to rebuild their base, which will cost them a lot of money.

Their finances were extremely scarce.

What's more, with their current equipment, they do not have the ability to explore and develop other areas of Mars.

They were able to establish a base here because Su Chen and his team helped them explore the area in advance, and they only moved in after confirming that there were no problems.

If they want to choose another location, they must conduct a safety inspection of that place.

But they don't have such equipment and personnel, so they need Su Chen and others' help in this matter.

And given the relationship between them and Su Chen, it is almost impossible to get help again.

On this day, Rawls called Professor Wang together to discuss with him the matter of moving the base.

This matter could not be delayed any longer, because during this period he had nightmares every day, dreaming that someone was staring at him viciously from the building in the opposite base.

Now his sleep has been affected, and other people in the base have reported some situations to him. Most people want Rawls to change the base.

Although this will have a huge impact on them, they have no choice but to change given the current situation.

First, people in the base reacted strongly.

Secondly, the two bases are too close to each other, which is indeed not particularly good for both sides.
