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

Chapter 768 This is the last resort!

Everyone immediately became interested.

This was the first time I had ever seen Su Chen troubled by work.

Having spent so much time with Su Chen, Su Chen rarely showed such a flustered attitude when it came to work-related matters.

Everyone took turns asking Su Chen what problem he had encountered.

Su Chen sighed and started chatting with everyone.

A while ago, he was helping Yuan Jingna research planting issues. His work was related to this, but it was also somewhat related to magma.

Yuan Jingna and her team are researching how to make plants grow on rocks.

Su Chen's research was more advanced; he wanted to make the man-eating tree grow in magma.

This is just a preliminary idea, and we encountered very big problems during the research.

The seeds of the man-eating tree could not withstand such high temperatures and were burned instantly.

Su Chen was very distressed after trying many methods without success, and took the opportunity to express his dissatisfaction to Wang Jianfeng.

Su Chen was indeed a little unhappy that Wang Jianfeng had come here without permission, but that wasn't the main reason.

I heard about the research topic Su Chen was discussing.

Wang Jianfeng and the others fell silent.

After a long while, Wang Jianfeng said while eating, "Your research is truly imaginative."

"Letting seeds grow in fire, is that an idea any human could come up with? Only you could do that."

After saying that, he shook his head, and in a good mood asked the kitchen to prepare more dishes for him, and also ordered two bottles of red wine.

Everything in the cafeteria is free, but alcohol requires a special application.

Of course, people like Su Chen and Wang Jianfeng are an exception.

Each person also has a certain amount of red wine privileges each month, which stipulates how much red wine each person can drink within a month, and can be accumulated.

However, you need to apply if you want to drink alcohol.

The kitchen will only serve drinks if you agree to them.

Otherwise, the kitchen does not serve alcoholic beverages to avoid unpleasant incidents after drinking.

Previously, without proper regulation, many problems arose due to drinking.

Besides some people having bad drinking habits, there are other factors as well.

In any case, the control over alcohol is quite strict, but other food is very relaxed.

Whenever you are hungry, you can come to the kitchen and ask for food; you can even ask the kitchen staff to make you something to eat at any time.

In addition, the kitchen will provide a variety of pastries for everyone 24 hours a day.

Su Chen did not stop him.

He wasn't in a particularly good mood and had no intention of drinking with them, but that didn't stop Wang Jianfeng and the others from having fun drinking together.

Professor Wang, who was standing nearby, pondered and said, "Isn't your thinking a bit too advanced? I also heard from Yuan Jingna that their research is extremely difficult, let alone planting in flames."

Su Chen shook his head and said very seriously, "Plants can grow in water, let alone on land, so why can't they grow in flames?"

"Maybe the plants aren't good enough. I'm going to try other plants."

"If this research is successful, the problem of magma should also be solved."

At this point, he looked at Tang Yumo and asked about the progress on his end.
Tang Yumo was at a loss, shook her head with a wry smile, and briefly explained the situation on his end.

Su Chen highly approves of Tang Yumo's work.

He believed that once the experts from Earth 2 arrived, they would definitely be able to provide Tang Yumo with more assistance.

After a brief chat, Su Chen prepared to return to his research lab.

Everyone urged him to stay a little longer, but Su Chen waved his hand and told them to eat and drink as much as they wanted, promising them a day off tomorrow.

Watching Su Chen's departing figure, Wang Jianfeng and the others relaxed, drinking and chatting.

The topics of conversation are varied; sometimes we talk about work-related issues, and sometimes we talk about random, unrelated things.

Back in the studio.

Su Chen continued to devote himself to research.

In front of him was a specially made glass dome, inside which burned a high-temperature flame.

This flame can burn for a long time.

It can still burn even without oxygen, and it has another special advantage.

Its temperature is constant.

While this constant temperature is an advantage, it is a disadvantage in Su Chen's current research.

Because Su Chen needs the seeds to grow under different high temperatures, but his temperature is kept constant, this will cause his research to deviate.

Su Chen then took several different seeds and put them into the flames.

These seeds were specially selected by Su Chen. In order to allow them to grow, the seeds underwent high-temperature treatment and were also covered with a layer of soil.

The soil also contains other elements that allow the seeds to float in the flames. As long as they can withstand the high temperatures, they can grow out of the soil.

This is a very rare study.

Su Chen himself didn't have high hopes, because he knew that this kind of research was extremely difficult.

The possibility is extremely small.

However, he still hoped he could try.

Su Chen's idea didn't just come from nowhere.

He discovered some problems while looking through some materials.

One book records that some plants exist in some high-temperature areas.

These plants can grow continuously under high temperatures, and Su Chen believes they can grow in flames.

Most importantly, Su Chen had extracted some elements from the flames.

These elements include some microbial molecules, as well as fibrous elements.

Therefore, he believes it is not impossible for plants to grow in flames.

Perhaps similar plants exist on other distant planets.

Perhaps tiny plants grow on the sun, but they just haven't discovered them.

After putting the seeds in, Su Chen observed for a while, then sat down on a chair next to him to continue looking through the documents, trying to find some useful clues.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Su Chen opened the door, thinking it was Tang Yumo, but it turned out to be Yuan Jingna.

The moment Su Chen saw Yuan Jingna, he first observed her expression.

He noticed that there was no particular change in his face, just like usual, which made me a little disappointed.

The more ordinary Yuan Jingna's performance was, the more it proved that his research had not made much progress.

as predicted.

Yuan Jingna's research has indeed made no progress.

He just went to the restaurant, met Wang Jianfeng and a few others, and had a brief chat with them.

Having heard that Su Chen was researching a rather strange project, Yuan Jingna came to take a look. Su Chen blocked the doorway, so Yuan Jingna couldn't see what was happening inside.

Seeing that Su Chen had no intention of moving aside, he couldn't help but give a wry smile.

"What are you doing? Is there something you shouldn't see inside?"

Su Chen shook his head and stepped aside to make way for him, allowing Yuan Jingna to see what was happening inside.

The cluster of flames was very bright in the room. He looked at it intently and unconsciously walked to the glass dome.

Seeing that the flames had charred the outer layer of the seed, Yuan Jingna couldn't help but sigh and turned to look at Su Chen, who was sitting in a chair reading a book.

Do you think it's possible to succeed?

Su Chenhe wrote a letter, pondering, and said, "I'm not quite sure. The chances of success are very small, but we can give it a try."

"Even if we fail, it's nothing. These are all experiences. We may not be able to figure it out now, but as time goes by, someone may figure it out in the future. We will have left behind some data and achievements for future generations."

After a pause, Su Chen asked again, "How's the situation on your end? Have you made any unusual discoveries?"

Yuan Jingna sighed; there was still no progress on the other end.

He came to see Su Chen to see what the results were on his end.

He just looked at the plants inside the glass dome, and they were clearly different from the ones he had grown.

He asked Su Chen what these plants were and what treatments they had undergone.

Su Chen explained it to her in detail, and Yuan Jingna listened very attentively, occasionally taking out her phone to record it.

After Su Chen finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Your method has given me some inspiration."

"Perhaps I could add something to the outside of the seed so that it can grow in the rock."

Su Chen nodded. He had originally intended to discuss this matter with Yuan Jingna as well.

However, because both Yuan Jingna and he were busy, the two did not meet.

Yuan Jingna hurriedly went back to study.

Su Chen gave him a lot of inspiration, and he felt that he would definitely gain something this time, and might even succeed.

After arriving at the research lab, he called all the research experts together and shared his ideas with them.

Then, he started to have everyone do the work according to his requirements.

Some people search for suitable seeds, while others try to alter the appearance of the seeds.

Others are preparing for other work.

The entire research lab was bustling with activity.

All preparations were completed in one day.

At Yuan Jingna's command, everyone began their work.

During working hours, no one may leave without permission.

The entire area outside was placed under martial law.

No one other than Su Chen was allowed to enter.

They are provided with three meals a day and do not need to go out; they can stay in the research lab.

The research lab has places to rest, live, eat, and relax; in any case, no one else is allowed to leave the lab.

In addition to preventing leaks, it is also necessary to create a suitable working environment.

If everyone is allowed to go out freely, some problems may arise during the work process.

Moreover, their research requires very precise control, and going outside inevitably leads to contamination from certain things.

These things could all be one of the reasons to disrupt research.

Their research lab wasn't always this strict, but as time went on and their work improved, they developed their own set of work procedures.

Although this work plan has some shortcomings, it is definitely the best and most optimal state for the work.

This is a method they summarized from countless experiences.

Yuan Jingna was extremely busy.

Tang Yumo, on the other hand, seemed rather relaxed.

Because Wang Jianfeng came, their work has not been particularly heavy recently, and everyone has been chatting and laughing.

Tang Yumo would take Wang Jianfeng for a walk around the base and listen to his opinions.

Wang Jianfeng has visited so many bases and held important positions in so many of them, so he can offer better suggestions on the planning of the bases.

Tang Yumo would write everything down in a small notebook, and he would review all the opinions when he had time.

Change what can be changed, and find ways to adapt what cannot be changed.

After staying at the base for about half a month, Wang Jianfeng had no choice but to leave.

This is already the longest he has stayed outside. If he doesn't go back soon, even if others don't have any objections, he himself will feel embarrassed.

Before parting, he specially gave everyone the gifts he had prepared, and then left on a starship.

After he left, Tang Yumo threw herself into her work.

Because he hadn't worked much for a while, he became very busy once he started working again, basically spending every day researching.

The underground caves have been fully explored, and there are currently no particularly dangerous areas.

Tang Yumo also led a group down there to collect data and then take steps to manage the underground magma.

Zhou Quanmiao and Professor Wang's work was proceeding at a leisurely pace. They had already dug to a depth of 10,000 meters underground, but had not made any special discoveries, which greatly disappointed the two of them.

After digging several thousand meters deeper, they felt there was no need to dig any further, so they specifically sought out Su Chen and asked him to complete the excavation.

After reviewing the report, Su Chen agreed to stop the excavation.

However, just in case, a small group of people were left behind to continue the excavation work.

Zhou Quanmiao and Professor Wang can free up their time to assist Yuan Jingna or Tang Yumo.

The two exchanged a glance, pondering who they should help.

Yuan Jingna has a very good personality; she is much gentler than Tang Yumo.

Working with him would definitely be very comfortable, and there would be no arguments.

However, neither of them was good at the work that Yuan Jingna was doing.

Ultimately, the two decided to go to work with Tang Yumo.

Although Tang Yumo has a lively personality and they may argue, these arguments are all work-related, so neither of them is worried.

Most importantly, they felt that working with the magma was more important.

They wanted to do something important to relieve some of the pressure on Su Chen and the others.

In fact, the two of them preferred to work with Su Chen, but Su Chen didn't have that intention.

The two arrived at the place where Tang Yumo was conducting research and saw that Tang Yumo and her team were already carrying out various tasks. They were very impressed with Tang Yumo's management skills.

If it were them, they might not be able to achieve the same results.

Tang Yumo was surprised to see the two of them.
