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

Several hundred people were arguing back and forth, and the entire conference hall was in complete chaos.

Wang Jianfeng's head was spinning.

At this moment, Li Xinran came to his side.

"Stop them arguing. It's not a good idea for so many people to keep arguing. Let's each select a few representatives and let them discuss this matter together."

Wang Jianfeng strongly agreed with Li Xinran's idea, stood up, and gently clapped his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.

He then selected several representatives from the group to discuss matters with Li Xinran and the others.

Because the negotiations failed, the construction of the Hive had to be temporarily suspended.

However, we still have to do what we're supposed to do.

We need to discuss this further, and continue researching how the hive should be established.

The hive definitely needs to be built, so this work cannot stop.

Once the research is completed and the honeycomb structure is determined, everyone can start construction, which will save a lot of trouble.

Wang Jianfeng stopped asking too many questions about the matter; he only needed to listen to the report and see what everyone thought.

After all, he doesn't understand this area, and even if he were involved, he couldn't offer any reasonable solutions; it's mainly up to the experts to come up with the ideas.

After half a month of discussions, a satisfactory result still could not be reached.

However, several solutions have already been proposed.

Li Xinran received several decent construction plans, but he wasn't particularly satisfied with any of them.

The hive was built too small to achieve the results he wanted.

And it wasn't quite what Su Chen had expected.

That day, Su Chen called to ask Wang Jianfeng how the beehive construction was going and whether construction had started.

Wang Jianfeng chuckled awkwardly and said that the experts were still discussing it.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen frowned immediately and scolded Wang Jianfeng on the other end of the phone: "Didn't I tell you to cooperate with Li Xinran's work?"

"You've been discussing such a small matter for so long. What are you doing? Can't you mediate between us?"

“The Hive must be built. We should focus on Li Xinran and her group, and try to consider their needs, rather than yours.”

"We can fully cooperate with them without harming the Huaxia Geoenergy ship."

After saying a lot of things, Su Chen hung up the phone.

His meaning was very clear: he still wanted to take care of Li Xinran and the others as much as possible.

Wang Jianfeng smacked his lips, took a sip of tea, and felt very depressed.

How can you blame yourself? He doesn't understand this matter.

Li Xinran didn't talk to him in detail either.

With a sense of helplessness, he had someone call Li Xinran to his office.

He suspected that Li Xinran had snitched to Su Chen, but when he saw Li Xinran sitting in front of him with a suspicious look on her face, he dismissed the thought.

He poured Li Xinran a cup of tea and said bluntly, "Su Chen just called me and asked me to take care of you as much as possible."

"Feel free to make any requests you have, and we'll try our best to make adjustments so that you can start work as soon as possible."

Li Xinran nodded, looking at Wang Jianfeng with a strange gaze.

If he had known that Su Chen's words were so effective, he would have called Su Chen earlier.

He handed his proposal to Wang Jianfeng.

Wang Jianfeng glanced at it, frowned slightly, and tapped the table lightly.

Li Xinran's plan is indeed good, but it has a slight impact on the Huaxia Dilong.

The two discussed it carefully again and each compromised.

After they finalized the plan, they gathered the experts represented by the Huaxia Dilong and the experts brought by Li Xinran, and handed the plan over to them for further study.

Wang Jianfeng also specifically told the experts of the Huaxia Dilong: "The construction of the honeycomb is an important part of the construction of the Huaxia Dilong. Once successful, it will be of great benefit to the Huaxia Dilong and can enhance its attack power, so you should not be resistant to it."

"We should do our best to help them complete this task."

When he said that, the experts naturally understood what he meant: they still needed to back down.

Finally, they finalized a plan.

Construction on the beehive has also begun.

The hive, much like its name suggests, is a structure built to resemble a honeycomb.

This structure requires extremely high stability, and Li Xinran and her team have made ample preparations in this regard.

Therefore, it is quite simple to build.

However, building a three-tiered honeycomb system proved to be somewhat difficult.

People have been researching how to build a three-tiered honeycomb and how to make it have a good circulation system.

After more than a month of research, Li Xinran and her team finally found a method.

However, this method has limitations; it can only build secondary hives.

Li Xinran rushed to see Wang Jianfeng and told him what had happened.

Wang Jianfeng thought about what Su Chen had said earlier and said with a smile, "Since you can't figure out a level three beehive, let's build a level two beehive for now."

"I think it's already pretty good. We can build a third-level hive if we have the chance in the future."

Li Xinran snorted, sensing the sarcasm in Wang Jianfeng's words. She clenched her little fists involuntarily, thinking that she should do her best to research the Level 3 Hive so that this guy wouldn't laugh at her.

Back in the lab, he gave everyone the order to develop a level 3 beehive.

The experts worked tirelessly, but ultimately they were unable to make any progress.

Having no other option, Li Xinran called Su Chen, hoping he could help her.

Su Chen thought about it and decided that a level 2 beehive was also a good option.

His meaning is to temporarily establish a level two hive and suspend research on a level three hive.

But Li Xinran refused, insisting that he come to Earth 2 no matter what, her voice slightly choked, as if she was about to cry.

A girl like her is always decisive and efficient.

Suddenly, Su Chen felt an urge to cry.

He's not easily refusing; he's a bit soft-hearted.

In the end, I agreed to visit Earth 2 after some time.

Li Xinran hung up the contact information, a smug smile appearing on her face.

He felt as if he had grasped Su Chen's weakness.

Next, he and the experts continued the construction of the hive.

It is now entirely possible to build primary and secondary hives, and the construction of secondary hives will not affect the construction of tertiary hives.

On this side of the big planet.

Su Chen was also busy.

Recently, a small problem has arisen.

The underground volcano was showing signs of activity, so Su Chen went down to check it out himself and found it to be somewhat unstable.

He called Tang Yumo over to discuss it with her.

Tang Yumo had a bold idea: he wanted to hollow out all the underground magma and move it to another place to form a stable magma zone.

Her idea came from a water pump.

She accidentally saw the water pump working and suddenly had a thought: if water can be pumped from one place to another, can lava also be pumped to another place?

If the magma could be pumped to another location, there would be no danger. However, magma is extremely hot, and most materials cannot withstand its temperature.

Unlike water, magma requires a strong gravitational pull to be drawn away.

Various problems can arise during the flow of magma.

Recently, Su Chen and Tang Yumo have been thinking about this kind of machine.

According to the two men's idea, this machine could not only pump magma to other places, but also extract other things.

For example, some toxic gases, and soil.

This research is neither particularly difficult nor particularly easy.

First, an extremely powerful engine is needed, capable of pumping away the magma.

Su Chen put a lot of effort into this and finally developed a large machine.

This large machine is very powerful; once the pipe is placed on the ground and started, the soil on the ground will be completely sucked away.

In just one day, a pit several tens of meters deep can be formed.

The next issue is the material of the pipes.

Because magma needs to be pumped out, the pipes must be able to withstand high temperatures.

They actually have several types of this material, but turning it into a tube and giving it flexibility and adaptability requires further research.

After completing all the research, they started up the large instrument.

With a series of roaring sounds, the magma was pumped into the pipes and then sent through the pipes to a deep pit they had prepared in advance.

They dug this pit themselves, so there's no possibility of it exploding.

Over time, the magma may cool and gradually extinguish.

Su Chen no longer needed to personally oversee the rest.

He handed over the matters at the base to Tang Yumo, and then boarded an interstellar warship to head to Earth 2.

Upon arriving at Earth 2, Wang Jianfeng was the first to greet him.

As soon as they met, this guy started whispering to Su Chen, telling him a lot about Li Xinran's actions.

He didn't say anything bad, but Su Chen sensed from his words that Li Xinran seemed to have done something wrong.

However, this is entirely Wang Jianfeng's side of the story.

The two were chatting when Li Xinran rushed in.

Seeing Li Xinran's expression, Wang Jianfeng rolled his eyes and shut his mouth.

Li Xinran glared at Wang Jianfeng first, then stood to Su Chen's left with a somewhat aggrieved expression.

“Wang Jianfeng deliberately didn’t tell me you were coming, otherwise I definitely would have arrived before him.”

This sentence made Su Chen frown. He glanced at Wang Jianfeng, who chuckled and gave a very plausible reason.

"Isn't Li Xinran busy? I was afraid of bothering him, so I didn't say anything."

Su Chen shook his head helplessly. Why were these two fighting?
After getting into the car, the two of them reported the situation to Su Chen.

Wang Jianfeng was in charge of the base issues, while Tang Yumo was in charge of the beehive issues.

The two of them were talking back and forth, neither of them willing to give way.

Su Chen was a little confused.

Before Wang Jianfeng could finish speaking, Li Xinran started talking about her own affairs.

Su Chen coughed to stop the two from talking, and said with a frown, "If you two have a conflict, find an opportunity to resolve it."

"If you don't want to resolve this, don't make a scene in front of me; it will affect your work."

After saying that, he glared at Wang Jianfeng and complained that he didn't know how to be modest.

Then he said to Li Xinran, "Let's talk about the beehive problem first."

Li Xinran glanced at Wang Jianfeng with a hint of smugness and began to speak at length.

In order to take up more time and not give Wang Jianfeng more time, he spoke in great detail.

He had only spoken halfway through his sentence when the car stopped.

Wang Jianfeng stood beside him with his arms crossed and his eyes closed.

He knew he wouldn't have much of a chance to report work issues to Su Chen today.

Su Chen didn't expect Li Xinran to say so much, and most importantly, what Li Xinran said didn't seem to have any problems.

He had no way to interrupt.

"There's still a lot I haven't told you. I'll come find you in a bit. You should rest first."

After Li Xinran finished speaking, she turned and left.

Watching his retreating figure, Wang Jianfeng shook his head helplessly and muttered, "See? He treats me like this all the time. Do you think I can tolerate it?"

Su Chen didn't say much.

The two entered the room, and after Su Chen sat down, Wang Jianfeng poured him a cup of tea.

"From now on, you should let someone else handle the issues concerning Li Xinran. I really don't want to cooperate with him."

After he finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Su Chen.

Su Chen nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Alright, now that I'm here, you don't need to worry about this anymore. Go about your business."

Wang Jianfeng didn't notice anything wrong with what he said, so he smiled and said, "How long do you plan to stay this time? Try to stay as long as possible. Even if you have to leave, be sure to take Li Xinran with you."

"After he arrived at Earth 2, he asked me a lot of questions."

“You should talk to him. He’s not focused on researching beehives. He’s always watching the little things I’m doing.”

Wang Jianfeng wanted to say something, but Su Chen interrupted him.

"Alright, why is a grown man nagging like a little girl?"

"Even if he's wrong, you should be more magnanimous. Why did you argue with him?"

After finishing speaking, Su Chen asked about work.

Wang Jianfeng took out a report and handed it to Su Chen, then gave a detailed account of the current situation.

Earth 2 is currently progressing smoothly and without any major issues.

Some of the previous problems have also been resolved.

Especially after Li Xinran arrived, she raised a lot of questions.

Although Wang Jianfeng had strong objections to his proposal, he still made corrections to some of the existing problems.

Therefore, the situation on Earth 2 is getting better and better.

Su Chen pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked Wang Jianfeng, "Have you discovered any good planets recently?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianfeng's eyes lit up, and he nodded with a smile.

"We've found quite a few, but only a few are suitable for establishing a base. Are you planning to establish a base on another planet?"

Su Chen shook his head.

He didn't have that idea.

However, he felt that others should be given more opportunities to practice and to independently establish their own bases.

Of course, not everyone has this opportunity.

For example, Wang Jianfeng and Tang Yumo could establish their own bases.

They had tried before, and the base they built was quite good.

Professor Wang hasn't had much to do lately, so Su Chen is thinking of sending him to a planet to independently establish a base. (End of Chapter)
