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

Recently.

Su Chen, Tang Yumo, and Yuan Jingna sat together, discussing their next steps.

The large planet has already completed all its initial indicators, so there's no need for them to stay here any longer.

Now, a new problem arises.

Are they going to Earth 2 or an extremely cold planet, or are they going to find a new planet to establish a base?

This is a difficult choice.

After much discussion, the group decided to continue their development and establish a base on other planets.

This planet no longer needs them, and there's no point in them staying here.

Su Chen thought for a moment, then smiled and said to the two of them, "How about we go to Earth 2? It's quite busy over there."

Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna naturally had no objections.

After explaining the situation on the large planet, the group headed to Earth 2.

They wanted to hand over the management of the large planet to the higher-ups.

However, this matter needs to be discussed with Wang Jianfeng and a few others; the three of them cannot make the decision on their own.

When Su Chen arrived at Earth 2, Wang Jianfeng was busy at the Huaxia Dilong and did not come to greet him.

Led by a receptionist, Su Chen and his group arrived at the Huaxia Dilong and could vaguely hear Wang Jianfeng directing operations.

Tang Yumo crossed her arms and looked at it, then smiled slightly. "This guy can give guidance, but he's not an expert in this field."

After he finished speaking, he called out to Wang Jianfeng, who was not far away, "Wang Jianfeng."

Wang Jianfeng saw Su Chen and his group, waved enthusiastically to them, then gave them a few instructions before jogging over to them, baring his teeth at them.

Seeing him covered in sweat, Tang Yumo couldn't help but ask him what he was doing.

Wang Jianfeng wiped the sweat from his brow and said with a smile, "I'm directing them to transport a large piece of equipment."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the three people in front of him with great curiosity.

He wasn't surprised that Su Chen and Tang Yumo came here, but Yuan Jingna was also here. It seemed they weren't planning on staying on the big planet.

Thinking of this, he pointed to a lounge not far away and said, "Let's go sit there for a while."

After the group sat down, Wang Jianfeng asked them why they had come.

Tang Yumo said, "We are preparing to take over Earth 2. I wonder if you have any objections?"

Wang Jianfeng knew he was joking, but he answered very seriously nonetheless.

"Of course I have no objections."

"Welcome back. I've been wanting you back for a long time."

Since Su Chen taught him a lesson, he has changed a lot, especially in his speech.

Tang Yumo was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Wang Jianfeng to answer so seriously. She felt that he was a little different from before.

He didn't say anything more, but instead answered Wang Jianfeng's question seriously.

"Now that things are settled on the big planet, we've come here to take a look and do some things for you while we're at it, before we go on to look for other planets."

Wang Jianfeng's expression didn't change much; instead, he frowned slightly with worry and sat down next to Su Chen.

"Are we going to find other planets so soon? Aren't we moving a little too fast?"

“I think you can stay here for a while, there’s no need to rush.”

"We already have enough bases. Too many would probably lead to a shortage of manpower and supplies in other areas as well."

Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna hadn't thought about this problem.

The two of them looked at Su Chen at the same time, because this was indeed a question that needed to be considered.

Tang Yumo recalled that they had indeed established many, many bases.

When you calculate it carefully, it is indeed a bit too much.

At this rate of construction, it will probably take only a few years before there are many of their planetary bases in the universe.

These bases consume a lot of financial and human resources to operate, not to mention the other aspects.

Each base needs to accommodate at least several hundred people, and they are already facing a shortage of manpower.

But it's not that serious yet.

It would indeed be quite troublesome to rebuild it.

Su Chen agreed with Wang Jianfeng's words and nodded with a smile: "Your suggestion is good. We should indeed slow down."

"And I think we can dismantle some of the bases."

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Wang Jianfeng and the others showed expressions of surprise.

No one expected that Su Chen would actually have the idea of ​​dismantling the base.

This is something they built up with great effort.

Once dismantled, not only will the defenses of a particular area be compromised, but many materials will also become unusable.

This is an extreme waste for them.

Wang Jianfeng coughed, took a moment to prepare his words, and then grinned as he said, "What I mean is that we should postpone construction, not demolish it."

"As things stand, I think maintaining the current state is fine. Why do you want to demolish it?"

Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna also looked at Su Chen with suspicion, not understanding what Su Chen was thinking.

Su Chen said very frankly, "I took a look at our current bases a while ago, and there are now more than a dozen bases."

“Apart from the bases close to Earth, which do not need to be demolished for the time being, the bases that are farther away can actually be demolished. Moreover, the construction of these bases is very outdated, and there is no point in keeping them.”

“Their weapons are outdated, and the base’s facilities are inadequate if they want to install new weapons, so I personally think it would be more appropriate to dismantle them.”

"There's no need to keep it there; it's just a waste of manpower and resources. What do you think?"

Wang Jianfeng and the others remained silent because they were not particularly familiar with the situation at the base.

Each base has its own unique characteristics, and they have no right to inquire about them, let alone access information from other bases.

But Su Chen is different; Su Chen can see all the information.

Wang Jianfeng coughed and said, "We don't know about the other bases. Show us the information on those problematic bases."

Su Chen nodded and readily agreed.

Since they had just arrived on Earth 2, they rested for a day first.

the next day.

Su Chen then handed the documents to several people and asked them to look at them carefully.

He went to the Huaxia Dilong.

When they arrived at the Huaxia Dilong, the Huaxia Dilong was basically completed.

The Bird's Nest is also halfway built.

He first inspected the facilities at the Bird's Nest, chatted with the experts, and helped them resolve some minor issues.

Immediately, they boarded the Huaxia Emperor Dragon. The entire Huaxia Emperor Dragon was enormous; Su Chen was almost invisible from one end to the other.

After touring all the places, Su Chen was very satisfied with the current construction and couldn't find any fault with it.

Several experts followed Su Chen, giving him a detailed introduction to the Huaxia Dilong.

Su Chen listened attentively, occasionally asking questions.

Su Chen asked the most questions, especially about weapons.

The remaining issue is the safety of the Huaxia Emperor Dragon, which is what he is most concerned about.

After spending almost a day on the Huaxia Dilong, Su Chen had dinner with the staff there.

Besides being concerned about the construction of the Huaxia Dilong, Su Chen also paid attention to their personal lives, having meals and chats with them and asking about their lives.

To Su Chen's relief, Wang Jianfeng not only did a great job in the construction of the Huaxia Dilong, but the experts also lived very well, and no one complained.

As evening approached, Su Chen returned to his office.

As soon as he arrived at the office door, he saw Wang Jianfeng and a few others whispering among themselves.

When these people saw Su Chen arrive, they immediately lined up like elementary school students reporting to the teacher's office.

Su Chen nodded slightly to them, opened the door to the room, and then the group walked in happily.

After they sat down, Su Chen asked them how the viewing went.

Wang Jianfeng was the first to express his opinion: "I have finished looking at them. Some of the bases are indeed quite outdated, but their locations are quite special. If they are demolished, the locations will be in danger."

"In the event of war, there is a high possibility that someone could take advantage of the situation. I personally think these bases should not be dismantled."

At this time, Yuan Jingna also expressed her opinion.

He firmly disagreed.

He disagreed because each base had things he cultivated, things he had painstakingly grown, and each base was located on a planet.

Since planets are not interconnected, the plants that can be grown are also diverse.

If the base is demolished, then her planting base will also be demolished.

Therefore, in order to protect what he had painstakingly grown, he disagreed.

Tang Yumo remained silent.

In fact, he was still willing to support Su Chen's idea.

But when I was talking to Wang Jianfeng and Yuan Jingna just now, they kept trying to get him to stand on the opposite side of Su Chen.

In the end, he chose to remain silent, offering no opinion and letting things be as they pleased, since he had no attachment to any of the bases anyway.

The only thing I might feel nostalgic about is Earth 2, but even that's not a very strong feeling.

Su Chen knew they would object, and he wasn't surprised at all.

Yuan Jingna's opposition, in particular, was within Su Chen's expectations.

He knew those plants were extremely important to Yuan Jingna, so he was now preparing to persuade her first.

Looking at the silent Yuan Jingna, Su Chen slowly said, "I know what you're worried about."

"Don't worry, your planting base will not be demolished. It will remain on the planet. Moreover, I will ask you to increase the area of ​​planting, ideally so that the entire planet is covered with your plants."

"I'm very interested to see what changes will occur on a planet once it's covered in plants."

Yuan Jingna did not expect Su Chen to have this idea.

According to Su Chen, that would be even more advantageous for him.

He glanced at Wang Jianfeng with a guilty look, as if to say, "I can't help you anymore."

Wang Jianfeng rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Shouldn't this matter be reported to the higher-ups? What's their attitude?"

"I don't think they'll agree either."

Su Chen held up a finger and gently shook it in front of Wang Jianfeng. "You're wrong about that. The higher-ups will definitely agree and will strongly support it. If you don't believe me, we can make a bet."

"What are we betting on?" Wang Jianfeng immediately became interested and rubbed his hands together, eager to try.

He really didn't believe that the higher-ups would support Su Chen.

Su Chen smiled and said, "If the higher-ups support me, then you will be in charge of the demolition work."

"If the higher-ups don't support me, you can do whatever you want."

"I can grant you any request."

Wang Jianfeng's eyes lit up, and he immediately extended a hand, "It's a deal."

After giving him a high five, Su Chen looked at the other two with a smile and asked, "Do you want to join in too?"

Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna shook their heads at the same time.

The two of them knew Su Chen too well; Su Chen was almost never wrong.

Besides, they didn't have anything they wanted Su Chen to do.

As for the dismantling of the base, neither of them wanted to get involved, especially since they were now supporting Su Chen.

The group arrived at the liaison room, and Wang Jianfeng personally sent a message to Old Li.

Before long, Li Lao arrived at the liaison room and met Su Chen and his group.

Seeing these people chatting and laughing, Old Li was very pleased. "It seems everyone has been doing well lately. Why did you suddenly contact me? Is there something important?"

Mr. Li asked with a smile.

Wang Jianfeng spoke first: "It's nothing important, it's just that Su Chen wants to demolish the intense competition we've worked so hard to build, so I wanted to discuss it with you."

Upon hearing this, Old Li was taken aback.

Then, looking at Su Chen with great curiosity, he asked, "Why did you dismantle the base? What base did you dismantle?"

After Su Chen shared his thoughts, Old Li fell into deep thought.

Wang Jianfeng, who was standing to the side, thought that Old Li was unwilling, and said with a smile, "If you are unwilling, just say so. I personally also oppose this matter."

Old Li glanced at him, then shook his head: "I don't object, I fully support it."

"To tell you the truth, just a month ago, we were discussing dismantling some outdated bases."

"To be honest, we have quite a lot of bases now, which is a bit of a strain on us and makes maintenance very troublesome."

"Reducing the number of bases would be very beneficial for us."

"I originally wanted to discuss this matter with you, but you've been quite busy lately, so I didn't want to bother you."

Wang Jianfeng was dumbfounded; he hadn't expected that Elder Li and his group would also want to dismantle the base.

He sat down in his chair, feeling very depressed. He glanced listlessly at Old Li on the screen and asked, puzzled, "Why do I have this thought?"

"The base isn't too difficult for you right now."

According to Wang Jianfeng, the base is currently within the limits set by the authorities, and he doesn't think it has any impact on them.

He was even more worried that the higher-ups would use this opportunity to suppress Su Chen, dismantle their base, or seize it. (End of Chapter)
