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

Wang Jianfeng nodded impatiently, reassuring Su Chen that he would handle the matter properly.

He wasn't in a hurry and stayed in the base for two more days before leisurely heading to the large planet on the third day.

When he arrived on the large planet, Zhou Quanmiao had already packed his things and was ready to leave.

He thought he would have made some friends after so many years at the base, but when he learned that he was leaving, not a single person came to see him off.

Sitting in the empty office, Zhou Quanmiao couldn't help but sigh, feeling slightly disappointed.

Just then, Professor Wang hurriedly pushed open the office door, a hint of excitement on his face.

"Wang Jianfeng is here."

Zhou Quanmiao didn't show much expression, just nodded blankly, though he had a guess in his heart.

What is Wang Jianfeng doing here? Is he here to mock me, or to try and persuade me to stay?

Because of Wang Jianfeng's arrival, Zhou Quanmiao's departure had to be postponed temporarily.

Upon first glance at Zhou Quanmiao, Wang Jianfeng merely nodded, seemingly somewhat unfamiliar with her.

Afterwards, the three of them went to Zhou Quanmiao's office.

Wang Jianfeng sat there with a furrowed brow, staring at the now spotless office without saying a word for a long time.

Professor Wang spoke first: "Zhou Quan said he wanted to leave here. I tried to persuade him for several days, but he wouldn't listen."

Wang Jianfeng said "Oh," and asked Zhou Quanmiao, "Have you thought it through?"

"Where are you going if you leave here? Su Chen hopes you'll stay, and we share the same thought. Think it over carefully, don't rush off."

He didn't say much, and then went back to his room to rest.

Zhou Quanmiao felt uneasy. Although Wang Jianfeng was trying to persuade him to stay, he felt that he wasn't being sincere. It was as if he was just following the rules and saying some official jargon.

Professor Wang has been trying to persuade him for some time now, but Zhou Quanmiao won't listen at all.

Now that Wang Jianfeng has arrived, Professor Wang thinks that Zhou Quanmiao might be a little more interested.

But when he asked, Zhou Quanmiao firmly shook his head, showing no intention of staying.

In the evening, Professor Wang went to Wang Jianfeng and talked to him about how to persuade Zhou Quanmiao to stay.

Wang Jianfeng glanced at Professor Wang and said unhurriedly, "In my opinion, if he wants to leave, let him go. Why force him to stay?"

Upon hearing the implication of his words, Professor Wang was speechless. It was clear that Wang Jianfeng himself did not care about Zhou Quanmiao's departure.

He was there to carry out Su Chen's orders.

Since Wang Jianfeng held this attitude, Professor Wang had no way to discuss it with him.

Because the two people have different ideas.

At this moment, Wang Jianfeng said again, "Of course, it would be best if he could stay, but you've said everything you needed to say in the base these past few days. Even if I said anything more, he probably wouldn't listen."

"Let him calm down for a few days and let him choose for himself. That's the only thing we can do."

Professor Wang felt that what he said made sense, but he would feel guilty if he did nothing. He would also feel that Zhou Quanmiao would misunderstand that no one cared about him or paid attention to him, which would intensify his desire to leave.

In the following days, Professor Wang no longer contacted Zhou Quanmiao frequently, but he would meet with him once a day to talk about the situation at the base and share everyone's thoughts.

He still expressed that everyone hoped he would stay, but Zhou Quanmiao has not been idle these past few days.

After all, it was a place where he had worked hard and participated in the construction of many things.

Therefore, he still has fond memories of this base.

When he had free time, he would go and take a look, and met many experts.

Everyone was very enthusiastic towards him, but despite the enthusiasm, there was a sense of distance between them, and no one said anything to ask him to stay.

Everyone treated him like a staff member about to leave, speaking only politely.

this day.

Zhou Quanmiao finally made up his mind to leave.

He specifically called Wang Jianfeng and Professor Wang to his office, sincerely told them his thoughts, and expressed his firm intention to leave.

Seeing that he was determined to do so, Professor Wang stopped talking and instead asked him what he planned to do after he left.

Zhou Quanmiao shook his head.

He didn't know what would happen after he left.

Perhaps I'll return to Earth to work, or perhaps I'll do something else.

Wang Jianfeng, who was standing to the side, said, "With your skills, you'll be successful anywhere."

"Even if you're not here, you can work at other bases."

After he finished speaking, he said very seriously, "Have you thought it through? If you want to leave, we have to follow the rules."

Zhou Quanmiao nodded heavily; he had thought it through very clearly.

Afterwards, Wang Jianfeng took Zhou Quanmiao to the research lab to administer a drug that would erase his memories.

Modern medications have been developed to be more effective and will not harm the human brain.

It only removes some important memories, but retains some daily life events, so it will basically not cause any harm to Zhou Quanmiao.

However, it will erase some important parts of his memory.

Having followed all the procedures, Zhou Quanmiao's mood was much better than before, possibly because she had lost some of her memories.

Wang Jianfeng and Professor Wang escorted him to the interstellar warship, and Zhou Quanmiao left immediately.

Watching the starship sail away, Professor Wang couldn't help but sigh.

He felt a little lost when his colleague, with whom he had worked for so long, suddenly left.

Wang Jianfeng comforted her tenderly from the side.

"Don't overthink it. Everyone has their own thoughts and ideas."

"Perhaps leaving is not a bad thing for him."

Professor Wang nodded without saying anything more.

After finishing this task, Wang Jianfeng returned to Earth 2.

In the video, he explained Zhou Quanmiao's situation to Su Chen.

As for Professor Wang, he stayed behind to handle the matters left behind by Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quanmiao was ready to leave at any moment, but the construction of the underwater ship was already halfway done, and it couldn't be left stranded.

Therefore, he wanted to help Zhou Quanmiao complete this task.

His work style is quite different from Zhou Quanmiao's. He prioritizes everyone's health, telling them to rest when they need to and work when they need to.

Moreover, he didn't make such a strong comparison.

There are no requirements for the experts to do anything specific; they are simply asked to do their job diligently and prevent any problems from occurring with the underwater vessels.

As for the technology, he felt that the current level of technology was sufficient and there was no need to delve deeper into it.

After all, Su Chen had already figured it out, so there was no need for them to waste their time.

Under Professor Wang's command, the underwater vessel was finally completed.

It's not particularly outstanding, but there's nothing wrong with it either.

Soon, he delivered the underwater vessel to the ocean planet for Su Chen and his companions to use.

He was basically in charge of managing things inside the base.

The problems Zhou Quan left behind weren't just about the ships; there were other issues as well. First, his research into underwater vessels had disrupted many of the research labs, and some people had even fallen in from outside.

Professor Wang convened a special meeting, bringing everyone together to ask them about their future plans.

If anyone is willing to return to their previous position, Professor Wang can arrange it for them.

If you want to go to other planets, that's fine too.

Construction on the large planet is now progressing steadily, and we no longer need so many people.

And this is precisely when the ocean planet is in dire need of people.

However, he also explained to everyone that the environment and things on the ocean planet were not as good as everyone imagined.

Because they have always lived in the marine environment, they are somewhat different from those on land.

Many people cannot adapt to this environment and experience symptoms such as vomiting and dizziness every day.

The experts made their own choices; some chose to stay.

After Zhou Quanmiao left, this place was actually not bad; it wasn't as terrible as I had imagined.

Some people chose to return to Earth 2.

Some people choose to challenge the ocean planet.

There were so many experts and staff members going to the ocean planet that Professor Wang was a little surprised.

Many people want to see what an ocean planet looks like, especially experts who are very interested in this planet.

Professor Wang made a special trip to Ocean Planet with these people and handed the person over to Tang Yumo.

Tang Yumo was overjoyed to see so many people.

Afterwards, he led everyone on a tour of the Ocean Planet base, and specifically took them to an observation deck.

From the observation deck, they can see the boundless ocean.

Some experts, like Tang Yumo, raised a question.

Have you been tested on any islands near Haiyang?
Perhaps some discoveries were made there.

Tang Yumo said with a smile that they had recently conducted some research on the island, but had not found anything particularly noteworthy.

They even dug into the ground of the islands and discovered that these islands were basically floating on the surface of the ocean.

It's just that because the islands are quite large, they don't appear to be moving. In reality, these islands are moving at a very slow speed.

There are no plants on the island, only rocks and soil.

They also found no life in the ocean.

This is rather disappointing for everyone.

It is quite common for life to exist in such a vast ocean.

But it wasn't found here at all.

After showing everyone around the base, Tang Yumo arranged accommodations for them so they could rest for a few days.

Wait until you've rested well before starting work.

The experts were eager to get back to work, so after a day's rest, they all approached Tang Yumo and asked him to arrange work for them as soon as possible.

Tang Yumo readily agreed.

It's a very good thing that they are willing to work.

After assigning everyone their tasks, Tang Yumo went to Su Chen's room, handed him her recent research report, and also mentioned the experts who had recently visited.

Su Chen nodded, then looked at Tang Yumo and said, "We haven't been researching any weapons lately. I'm thinking of using seawater to research a weapon. What do you think?"

Tang Yumo nodded without hesitation.

He expressed his support for all of Su Chen's decisions.

Seeing him was pointless, so Su Chen entrusted the matter to him.

First, we need to find a group of weapons experts; whoever has time can come and help with the research.

Secondly, a research plan needs to be designed.

As for the core technologies, Su Chen will work with them to research them.

this day.

Wang Jianfeng suddenly contacted Tang Yumo.

The moment the video started, Tang Yumo frowned because she saw that Wang Jianfeng's expression wasn't good, which obviously meant something bad was going on.

as predicted.

Wang Jianfeng grinned at him, then said with some regret, "The higher-ups want to send people to Ocean Planet for an investigation."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yumo frowned slightly and asked curiously, "Why do they suddenly want to investigate this place? Have they discovered something?"

Wang Jianfeng frowned and said he wasn't sure.

Judging from their tone, it seems they know something.

Tang Yumo sighed helplessly. Since the higher-ups were coming to inspect, then so be it. They had no reason to stop them.

Wang Jianfeng looked worried, because he had a vague feeling that the higher-ups might know what he was hiding, but they couldn't find any evidence, which was why they sent a group of people to investigate.

Wang Jianfeng wouldn't care if it was just a simple inspection, but he was afraid that it would be the same as before, and they would try something strange again.

The only consolation is that Mr. Li still holds most of the power.

Therefore, we can still control the situation.

If it were someone else, things might not be so simple.

This time, the inspection team was quite large, and it was a comprehensive inspection.

We need to examine not only ocean planets, but also the few planetary bases that have been recently established.

This includes Earth 2 and the large planet.

They first visited and inspected Earth 2, where Wang Jianfeng was located.

Visit everything on Earth-2, inspect all of Earth-2, including the personnel.

This time they acted aggressively, showing no respect for Wang Jianfeng whatsoever.

Before Wang Jianfeng even greeted them, the group disembarked from the interstellar warship and began various investigations.

When Wang Jianfeng arrived to see them, most of them had already started working, and only a few people stayed behind to wait for him.

Seeing their menacing approach, Wang Jianfeng didn't say anything.

The head of the delegation greeted Wang Jianfeng with a smile, speaking very politely to him, and also explained why the investigation had been launched before his arrival.

Since their explanation was reasonable and well-founded, Wang Jianfeng didn't dwell on the matter and told them to investigate thoroughly, promising to fully cooperate.

It took them almost a month to inspect the entire Earth 2.

As for how the report after the investigation would be written, Wang Jianfeng couldn't see it; that was something to be handed over to his superiors.

However, he was not worried; the base was operating normally and there was nothing wrong with it.

Subsequently, the head of the delegation invited Wang Jianfeng to his office, hoping that Wang Jianfeng could accompany them on their inspection of the large planet.

Wang Jianfeng readily agreed; he would have gone even if he hadn't been invited. (End of Chapter)
