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

To contact Elder Li, one must first consult Su Chen.

What if Su Chen disagrees if we don't tell him about this?
When they went to find Su Chen, Su Chen was still busy with work.

After they explained their intentions, Su Chen waved his hand, indicating that they could go find Old Li.

Wang Jianfeng and the others waited a while longer, and seeing that Su Chen showed no intention of putting down his work, they went to contact Old Li on their own.

This time, they contacted Mr. Li and quickly made a video call, so quickly that they were a little taken aback, as if Mr. Li was deliberately waiting for them.

Old Li was indeed waiting for them.

He knew that when this document was submitted to Su Chen, it would definitely cause discussion and people would question the reasons behind it.

He didn't agree with the matter at first, but a group of people kept analyzing and discussing it with him, and eventually he was persuaded.

So this time, he also planned to use those people's words to persuade the people in front of him.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Old Li's first words left Wang Jianfeng and the others speechless.
Since Elder Li had said so, Wang Jianfeng and the others remained silent, waiting for Elder Li to continue.

Presumably, Mr. Li will give them a satisfactory reason.

Old Li poured himself a cup of tea and said while drinking it, "I didn't agree with this matter at first. You worked so hard to build this base, and it's only just been built. Demolishing it directly would have a bad influence."

"But many people have told me that this planet is a useless planet, and from a geographical point of view, it has not played any particularly important role."

"From a research perspective, it doesn't seem to be of much use."

“Deep underground in that area, there is always magma that could erupt at any time, posing a certain danger to the people in the base…”

Old Li said a lot, and after he finished speaking, he silently looked at Wang Jianfeng and the others to observe their reactions.

After listening to what Old Li said, the group fell silent once again.

It cannot be said that Mr. Li's words were without merit, but they believed that these reasons were not the key to dismantling the base.

If the base is demolished according to the reasons given by Mr. Li, then even more bases will be demolished.

Most importantly, the base was newly established, and they did not believe it should be demolished.

Wang Jianfeng briefly explained his reasons, then said helplessly, "What would happen if we didn't demolish it?"

Old Li smiled slightly and said calmly, "If you are unwilling, you can write an application, and I will submit it to that group of people so that they can study it."

"That group's attitude isn't very firm either. I think there could be a compromise, but... personally, I think since it's not very useful, it should be demolished."

"Although it was just built, we can't leave it untouched just because it's new."

Wang Jianfeng and the others exchanged glances, unsure of what to do.

Old Li's attitude was not as tough as they had imagined.

They were seriously considering what to do.

At this moment, Old Li suddenly asked, "Where is Su Chen? Why didn't he come with you? What does he mean by that?"

Wang Jianfeng chuckled and said, "Su Chen is busy with work and doesn't seem to care about this matter."

Old Li smiled and said meaningfully, "This is the difference between Su Chen and you. I think he is probably not very satisfied with this matter either, but he can understand some of our difficulties, which is why he chooses to remain silent."

"If he doesn't want to dismantle the giant planet, he'll probably come with you. What do you think?"

This statement stunned Wang Jianfeng and the others.

They hadn't paid much attention to this matter before, but now, reminded by Elder Li, they suddenly realized that Su Chen's attitude towards it was indeed as Elder Li had said—not particularly concerned, and even intentionally indulgent.

At that moment, Wang Jianfeng and the others changed their attitude.

Although they have their own ideas, when Su Chen's attitude changes, they will change along with Su Chen's attitude.

Perhaps Su Chen has other ideas.

Wang Jianfeng politely said he needed to have a good talk with Su Chen, and then he video-called Old Li.

When the group finally found Su Chen, he was already in his office drinking tea and reading.

Judging from his relaxed attitude, he really didn't care about what happened before.

Tang Yumo walked directly to Su Chen and slammed her hand on the table to express her dissatisfaction.
"Su Chen, do you want them to dismantle the giant planet?"

"If you want, you can just tell us directly. Why are you acting like it's none of your business and making us the bad guys?"

Su Chen smiled and put down his cup. "When did I ask you to be the bad guys? Weren't you the ones who were reluctant?"

“But you don’t seem to object,” Wang Jianfeng asked, frowning.

Su Chen pondered for a moment and said, "It's not that I don't object, but that I don't want to get involved in this matter."

"The planet's geographical location and other conditions are not particularly good, so it has no value to be utilized. Demolishing it wouldn't really make a difference."

"The only regret is that it was a base we had just established, and we still have some emotional attachment to it."

"However, I personally think that if it's going to be demolished, then so be it. But don't forget one thing: we participated in the construction of some of the older bases, but we didn't participate in the construction of others."

"Which bases are these? They're the ones that others painstakingly built. They demolished those old bases, but we didn't demolish any of ours. What will others think? What will their reaction be?"

Everyone finally understood Su Chen's thoughts.

He did this for the sake of fairness, and also to quell the anger of some people.

Therefore, I am willing to make some sacrifices.

Moreover, what Su Chen said was not without reason.

If the base is to be demolished, it must be done fairly and justly. Why can other people's bases be demolished, but theirs cannot?

Wang Jianfeng and the others nodded slightly, understanding Su Chen's meaning.

At this moment, Wang Jianfeng said again, "If you had told us this earlier, we wouldn't have needed to contact Old Li, and we would have chosen to support him anyway."

Su Chen smiled, not dwelling on the matter, and said calmly, "Besides that, there is one more thing to note."

"Some time ago, we established the laws of interstellar travel. These laws apply to everyone. The dismantling of the base is a process that follows one of the rules of these laws."

"In the future, other bases may be dismantled, for different reasons, but they will definitely be dismantled."

"As the largest base center in the universe, we must take the lead and set a good example."

"When it's time to sacrifice, then we must sacrifice."

The crowd remained silent for a long time, not expecting that this matter was related to the laws of interstellar space.

However, as Su Chen said, they have built the most bases among humans on Earth, and also the most numerous in the universe.

If the various rules of interstellar law are to be enforced, they will inevitably be the first to bear the brunt.

At that time, would they have to make sacrifices?

This is a question worth pondering.

The group then discussed the laws of interstellar travel. These laws are not yet fully developed, but Earth is currently refining various rules and regulations, which have already been tested in the universe.

The test did not cover the entire universe, but rather some regions near Earth.

The enforcement has been going fairly well so far; some lawbreakers have been caught and brought to trial.

However, since the Interstellar Law has just been introduced, many issues still need to be resolved and discussed.

Su Chen glanced at Wang Jianfeng and said, "Now you should get ready and hurry up and dismantle the base. The first thing to dismantle is the big planet. This will also serve as a warning to others and prevent them from gossiping."

Wang Jianfeng nodded and then went to prepare.

As for Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna, they also have their own work to do.

These two people have been working together recently.

Yuan Jingna has an obsession with the number of man-eating trees.

I especially hope that the man-eating tree will become the most powerful of all plants.

Because the man-eating tree has developed a certain degree of self-awareness, he and Tang Yumo are now researching how to make the man-eating tree have a more powerful attack and be able to obey their commands.

If they succeed in the research, they will have a new type of weapon.

This weapon can be grown without any materials, and it can be grown on a large scale.

According to Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna's plan, if they wanted to occupy a planet one day, all they had to do was scatter the seeds of the man-eating tree on it.

Before long, cannibalistic trees will cover the entire planet, helping them to take over.

However, although the idea is good, it is extremely difficult to achieve.

Their initial stage is to alter the genes of cannibals, thereby causing them to mutate.

Tang Yumo also wanted to install some high-tech weapons on their tree trunks.

Some attempts were made, but unfortunately these high-tech weapons could not achieve a perfect fit with the body of the man-eating tree, and even caused damage to the man-eating tree.

More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Wang Jianfeng is still dismantling the base.

Dismantling the base was extremely troublesome, especially when dismantling a large planet. Wang Jianfeng encountered far more problems than with other planets.

Wang Jianfeng knew everyone on the big planet. When he announced the demolition of the big planet, many people were dissatisfied and even protested.

Many experts came to Wang Jianfeng and questioned him about why he dismantled the giant planet, which they had just built.

Wang Jianfeng naturally couldn't tell them too much inside information, much less repeat Su Chen's words verbatim. He could only say that it was an order from above and reassure everyone that they would be given a better job and that it wouldn't affect their research.

After calming down the staff, the demolition work began.

It's also quite troublesome to dismantle.

Because this time a mobile base was not being used, many things needed to be dismantled with great care.

Moreover, this is the newest base, so the equipment is also the newest, and all the materials and other instruments are state-of-the-art.

Because it is advanced, it is more troublesome to dismantle, and the most troublesome thing is the underground magma.

The magma beneath the base has been pumped out, but there is magma in other places besides the base.

Jianfeng and his team dared not make too much noise, and they also had to deal with the magma that had been pumped out.

Previously, the lava that was originally in the lava zone was pumped to a safe area.

The above means that the magma in the safe area should be returned to its original position.

Based on the reasons above, we must not damage the ecological environment.

Wang Jianfeng couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this reason.

After more than two months, they finally finished dismantling the giant planet, and a large group of people left the place they had once fought for.

As soon as Wang Jianfeng returned to Earth 2, he took the report to Su Chen.

Unfortunately, Su Chen could not be found; he was busy with his work.

His research focuses on extraterrestrials.

Based on the information currently available, Su Chen discovered that aliens are actually extremely far away from them.

Even if aliens wanted to attack them, it would likely be a long process.

The aliens' technology was indeed advanced, but Su Chen also discovered that their technology was not always superior to theirs.

They are technologically more advanced than Earth in some aspects, but in others, their technology is relatively backward.

this day.

Su Chen is at work.

There was a rapid, urgent knocking on the lab door, as if something urgent had happened.

Su Chen opened the door, and Wang Jianfeng and the others stood there looking anxious, clearly something had happened.

Su Chen frowned and asked them what was wrong.

Wang Jianfeng said nervously, "Something's happened, something really bad has happened."

Seeing Wang Jianfeng's panic, Su Chen's expression darkened.

What exactly happened to cause Wang Jianfeng and the others to lose their composure like this?
Su Chen invited the group into the research lab and asked them to sit down.

None of the people were in the mood to sit down. As soon as Wang Jianfeng entered, he started talking non-stop.

"This is a big problem. The man-eating tree we planted on a planet has undergone an unexpected change. It has now developed a certain degree of self-awareness and is attacking other creatures."

"They even killed several people."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Yuan Jingna.

Yuan Jingna lowered her eyes helplessly.

He never expected such a thing to happen.

Although that planet had little to do with him, and the man-eating tree that was planted was not planted by him.

But now that a problem has arisen, it's his problem.

Because he was the one who developed the man-eating tree.

Su Chen was very surprised after hearing this, and he glanced at Yuan Jingna and asked her how much she knew.

Yuan Jingna pondered and said, "Based on our current assessment, the man-eating tree has mutated through some kind of substance, causing it to attack other creatures. Currently, its main targets are living beings, but they may attack other places next, so we need to prepare in advance."

After a moment of silence, Su Chenchen immediately issued the order to destroy the cannibals.

Yuan Jingna and Tang Yumo's faces turned pale. (End of Chapter)
