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

Ultimately, the matter was dropped.

The higher-ups would occasionally talk to Wang Jianfeng, basically telling him to disband the inspection team as soon as possible.

Wang Jianfeng outwardly complied but inwardly defied him, using the same old excuse to shift all the blame onto Su Chen.

After a long stalemate, the higher-ups eventually stopped interfering with the matter for the time being.

Time flies, and about half a year has passed.

The base on Ocean Planet has been fully constructed, and Su Chen is currently conducting extensive exploration of Ocean Planet.

The submarine was now fully capable of descending to the deepest point on the ocean floor, which reached a depth of 60,000 meters. At that depth, they finally discovered a creature emitting a faint glow.

To be precise, it is a type of microorganism.

After extracting this microorganism, Su Chen and his team conducted various studies on it.

They discovered that this is an extremely ancient microorganism, which is the main reason why the planet turned into ocean.

It can emit an extremely humid temperature and water element, which, as the temperature continues to increase, turns the entire planet into an ocean.

Su Chen originally wanted to use these microorganisms to generate water, but after trying various methods, all of them ended in failure.

This microorganism originally needed to survive in the ocean, specifically in a unique marine environment.

For example, the oceans on this planet.

If placed in a freshwater environment, the microorganisms will die within a short period of time.

It will disappear in a short time if left in the air.

With nothing much going on at the base here, Su Chen prepared to return to the larger planet.

That's where their current development focus lies.

Tang Yumo followed Su Chen.

With these two people gone, there's no one to manage Ocean Planet anymore.

Su Chen had a video call with Wang Jianfeng to ask him if he had any suitable candidates.

This ocean planet was not proposed by Su Chen, but by Wang Jianfeng.

Therefore, Su Chen wanted to hand over the management of this ocean planet to Wang Jianfeng.

As for how he manages it, that's not Su Chen's business.

Wang Jianfeng hasn't decided who can manage Ocean Planet yet, so he'll have to manage it himself for now.

He also specifically instructed Su Chen to keep it a secret from his superiors and not to leak it.

Once the higher-ups realize there's no one suitable to manage things, they'll definitely ask their own people to take over.

Wang Jianfeng certainly didn't want this to happen.

He took a great deal of risk to build this planet, so he definitely wants to keep it in his own hands.

Recently, he has been selecting suitable candidates.

He actually has several capable people around him who have been with him for many years.

Wang Jianfeng was not worried about their loyalty.

However, these people lacked management skills, so Wang Jianfeng had not yet figured out who should manage them.

During a conversation with Professor Wang, Professor Wang suggested that he could select two more people to manage the project, rather than having one person hold all the power.

One person managing a base is not a good thing.

Wang Jianfeng thought this statement made a lot of sense, and in the end he selected two suitable people to manage Ocean Planet.

This matter has finally come to an end, and Wang Jianfeng can finally relax.

After returning to the large planet, Su Chen began a project based on interstellar warships.

He plans to research a colossal interstellar warship that, according to his vision, can travel through the universe for extended periods of time.

It can travel in space indefinitely.

You can travel through the universe and explore all kinds of planets.

Once inside the planet, you can undertake all sorts of construction projects.

Su Chen gathered the experts together and shared his thoughts with them.

The experts had no objections to Su Chen's ideas; they generally supported any proposals he put forward.

And they will fully cooperate.

According to Su Chen's design, this interstellar warship will be unprecedentedly large.

Such a massive interstellar warship requires a wide variety of materials, and a great many of them.

In order to build this interstellar warship, Su Chen specifically investigated all the base materials that they could control.

According to their investigation, the materials currently stored at the base are insufficient to support the construction of this interstellar warship.

Therefore, Su Chen issued an order.

He ordered all planetary bases to mine various materials at full capacity.

After this order is issued, each base will naturally act accordingly.

However, some people also informed their superiors of this news.

After learning of this news, the higher-ups knew that Su Chen was preparing for a major operation, but they did not receive any reports.

Someone suggested that Old Li ask Su Chen what he was planning to do.

Old Li was reluctant to contact Su Chen.

Because he knew that what Su Chen did would definitely not harm them.

However, many people are making demands.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and contact Su Chen.

Su Chen was very happy to see Old Li and asked about his health.

Then, before Old Li could ask anything, he spoke first.

He first explained his desire to build the most powerful interstellar warship, and then told Elder Li that he was in dire need of some materials and hoped that Elder Li and the higher-ups could provide full support.

Old Li looked troubled and said with a wry smile, "I was just about to tell you about this. Many people above are trying to find out what you're up to."

"So you want to build an interstellar warship. I have no problem with that, but the people on board might have different opinions."

"I will discuss this with them carefully and try to get everyone to fully cooperate with you."

Su Chen frowned, a hint of dissatisfaction on his face, and stared at Old Li very seriously, saying, "You must handle this matter well and try to get everyone's agreement."

"If they don't agree, you don't need to contact me again."

"Furthermore, there is one thing you must tell them for me: I do not want anyone to obstruct this matter, and even if they do, I will not obey their orders."

Seeing Su Chen's firm attitude, Old Li told him very seriously that he would do his best to help.

But as for the outcome, Old Li dared not draw any conclusions.

Back in her office, Ms. Li pondered how to talk to the group of opponents.

One day later.

He convened a meeting and informed everyone about the interstellar warship that Su Chen was going to build.

After learning about this, the people did not feel much aversion.

They hoped that Su Chen could develop an even more powerful interstellar warship, which would also benefit them.

The group that initially opposed Su Chen surprisingly wholeheartedly agreed when they heard that he was going to build the most powerful interstellar warship, with not a single person objecting. Moreover, they expressed their full support for Su Chen.

Old Li didn't quite understand what they were thinking, so he talked to them privately and finally figured out what they were thinking.

They believed that the powerful interstellar warship built by Su Chen was of great significance to them.

If anything happens to Earth one day, they can take refuge inside this interstellar warship.

Some people even wanted to take possession of this interstellar warship, believing that it should belong to the higher authorities.

After hearing their thoughts, Old Li shook his head with a wry smile and told them very clearly that it was absolutely impossible for him to give them this interstellar warship.

However, he could also talk to Su Chen.

After Su Chen finishes studying this interstellar warship, he can study another one.

This interstellar warship is for the crew.

Subsequently, Mr. Li had a second conversation with Su Chen.

The conversation went very smoothly.

Su Chen said there was no problem, as long as he could successfully complete his research on the interstellar warship.

He's willing to research and provide more than just one interstellar warship to his superiors.

Moreover, he is willing to provide a wide variety of technologies.

Both sides achieved a satisfactory result, and research on large interstellar warships began.

Before they even started working on it, Su Chen called Tang Yumo and the others together and asked them what the interstellar warship should be called.

This is the first truly capable interstellar warship to travel throughout the entire universe, so it should be given a powerful and impressive name.

Ultimately, everyone unanimously decided that the large interstellar warship would be named the Huatian Tianlong.

On the day the construction of the Tianlong in China began, Su Chen specially held a grand groundbreaking ceremony.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers exploding in unison.

Construction of the Tianlong (Sky Dragon) submersible in China has officially begun.

Everyone is working according to their assigned roles.

Su Chen and his team were responsible for research, some for building the basic infrastructure, and others for supplying materials.

The task of supplying materials has been temporarily entrusted to Wang Jianfeng.

Because large planets are far from other planets and there are some moving meteorites around them, they are quite dangerous.

Therefore, the materials need to be transported to Earth 2 first, and then sent to the large planet by the interstellar warships of Earth 2.

The interstellar warships on Earth 2 are the most advanced interstellar warships, and the crew members have considerable piloting experience.

Sending the supplies to the larger planet is the safest option.

Wang Jianfeng's job wasn't just to deliver supplies to the large planet; he was also responsible for the allocation and collection of supplies.

This is the most important thing.

A heavy burden fell on Wang Jianfeng's head, making his relaxed mood tense again.

Supplies are still in short supply, although other bases are trying their best to search for them.

However, they actually didn't discover many planets.

Even if there were some useful materials, they were not what Su Chen and his team needed.

Earth 2 is the planet with the richest resources, so Wang Jianfeng set his sights on Earth 2, ordering many people to carry out various kinds of mining on Earth 2, which was barely enough to supply Su Chen's construction.

Any working device needs a powerful motor.

Su Chen is currently researching power issues.

Such a massive interstellar warship requires a massive power engine.

Currently, they have developed many power machines, such as the most common nuclear power and electric power, etc.

Su Chen did not want to use this kind of power, because it was now considered an outdated power source.

He needs to research a new type of propulsion system that can sustain the entire interstellar warship for long periods of time.

This requires a very large power source, and they haven't found a suitable one yet.

However, Su Chen already had some designs and ideas.

The experts discussed the matter with Su Chen, and they decided to find something common to serve as fuel for the power source.

This universality is not only universal on Earth, but also universal throughout the entire universe.

They can collect data at any time, which allows the power system to achieve a perfect cycle.

If a very rare fuel is used, the entire interstellar warship will cease to function when that fuel is unavailable.

This is not what people want to see.

Therefore, they must find a positive and universal fuel.

When asked what fuel is most common, everyone unanimously thought of gas.

Gases are present in almost everything, whether in the universe or on planets.

Even in a vacuum, there will be a gas inside.

However, they have difficulty detecting this gas.

If they could convert all the gases into fuel to create a power source, that would be enough to power a starship in all sorts of situations.

Moreover, there's no need to worry about fuel.

However, using gases as fuel is a rather complicated matter. Some gases can be used as fuel and generate enormous amounts of energy.

However, some gases cannot do this.

Moreover, mixing multiple gases together can lead to other dangers, which are problems they need to address.

This problem became an insurmountable obstacle, causing Su Chen and his team to rack their brains.

There has been no significant progress so far.

Su Chen has been going out less lately, and her sleep schedule has become somewhat irregular, but she still manages to go to bed before 11 p.m. every day.

That day, he couldn't think of anything, so he went to the cafeteria to eat while pondering.

As soon as he sat down, several experts came over to discuss the issue of power with him.

Su Chen chatted and discussed things with everyone at the same time.

Before he knew it, a lot of experts had gathered around him.

Everyone is researching this issue; you say something, I say something.

Su Chen listened attentively to their words, absorbing their knowledge and broadening his mind.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"What are you doing?"

The crowd parted to make way for Tang Yumo, who walked in with a smile and sat down next to Su Chen.

After a brief chat with Tang Yumo, everyone then engaged in a serious discussion with Su Chen.

Tang Yumo rested her chin on her hand, listening intently to their research, but gradually became somewhat irritated.

Because he doesn't understand these things very well.

Tang Yumo initially wanted to chase the group away, but seeing them discussing it so enthusiastically, and Su Chen listening attentively, she felt too embarrassed to say anything more. (End of Chapter)
