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

Before setting off, Su Chen and his team needed to prepare all the necessary supplies.

First, you need to choose a starship.

Su Chen felt that the current interstellar warships were too slow, so while there was still time, he developed the power system and other aspects.

This elevates interstellar warships to a new level, enabling them to travel through space much faster.

After some discussion, Su Chen and his team finally decided on four interstellar warships.

One of the interstellar warships was piloted by Yuan Jingna.

A starship was piloted by Su Chen.

There is also a starship piloted by Tang Yumo.

The other interstellar warship was the assault ship, which was at the very front.

This interstellar warship was also under the command of Su Chen.

Each of the three interstellar warships has its unique purpose.

For example, the other of the two interstellar warships commanded by Su Chen was mainly composed of interstellar soldiers. The entire interstellar warship had a very powerful offensive and defensive system, and its main focus was on attack and defense.

At the same time, a large amount of supplies were also stockpiled. Tang Yumo is the starship I command, mainly consisting of supplies, including small mobile bases and various other supplies.

The last interstellar warship, commanded by Yuan Jingna, was based on various creatures and plants.

Yuan Jingna and Tang Yumo didn't know much about the interstellar warship, so Su Chen ordered them to live inside the warship from today onwards to learn about its various aspects, including its combat and defensive capabilities.

They didn't know how long this journey would take or what dangers they would encounter. They had to adapt to the various capabilities of the interstellar warship and deal with all sorts of dangers.

Everything is ready; now they just need to wait.

We await the return of the China Tianlong to provide them with more complete information and its navigation route.

Based on the trajectory of the Tianlong spacecraft, they can continue their journey, which will avoid many problems.

During their waiting period, the Huaxia Dilong spacecraft was launched on Earth for a long journey.

Su Chen didn't know how the decision was made, but the direction of their voyage was opposite to his.

They were heading towards another star system, but Su Chen didn't know the specifics and didn't ask.

Even if you ask, whether the person is willing to tell you is another matter entirely.

On this day, Wang Jianfeng found Su Chen and told him with a headache that some people in the academy had heard about Su Chen's upcoming trip and wanted to go with him.

Many people protested in front of the university in order to travel with Su Chen, which had a negative impact.

Su Chen frowned slightly upon hearing the news.

Because very few people know this news, and no one knows how it happened, it seems like everyone knows it.

Everyone at the university knew, let alone others.

He now wants to know how the information was leaked.

This is a rather serious problem for Su Chen.

This is a very serious matter for the entire base.

After he raised the question, Wang Jianfeng fell into deep thought.

He could only guarantee that he hadn't leaked any secrets, but he couldn't comment on the others.

However, he firmly believed that Tang Yumo, Yuan Jingna, and Professor Wang would never tell anyone about this.

As for Old Li's side, Wang Jianfeng couldn't say much.

In his personal opinion, it's more likely that the leak came from Li Lao's side.

Su Chen thought the same thing, but he couldn't just ask Old Li directly.

We still need to conduct a self-check first.

Only after confirming that there were no problems on his side could he ask Old Li for advice; that would be more appropriate.

Then he called Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna over and asked them if they had told anyone else about this.

The two men shook their heads, saying they hadn't told anyone else.

Su Chen then asked them if they had discussed this matter.

The two nodded; it was such a big matter that they would definitely talk about it.

Su Chen pressed further, asking if anyone had overheard their conversation.

Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna exchanged a glance and fell silent.

They couldn't guarantee that others hadn't heard.

Seeing the two of them hesitate and remain silent, Su Chen shook his head helplessly, then looked at Wang Jianfeng and said, "Let's investigate. I think this is our own problem."

Wang Jianfeng shook his head with a wry smile. Before leaving, he secretly glanced at Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna, seemingly complaining about why the two of them were so careless with their words.

Such an important matter should be discussed behind closed doors, even between two people. How can it be discussed in a place where there are other people around?

After Wang Jianfeng's investigation, it was finally confirmed that Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna had accidentally chatted and someone overheard them, and then everyone started discussing it.

The news naturally spread.

Wang Jianfeng reported the matter to Su Chen, and specifically told Su Chen, "It's only circulating in our base right now. I've blocked the news, so the outside world shouldn't know."

Su Chen pursed his lips, feeling quite helpless about the matter.

With so many people knowing, it's impossible to keep it a secret any longer.

as predicted.

Soon after, people from other bases learned about it. They were already very interested in all of Su Chen's actions, and now that they heard he was going to establish a base on a very distant planet, many wanted to go with him.

As for the reasons, there are many.

They also called from above, demanding that Su Chen bring their people with him on this trip, otherwise they would not provide any support and would impose sanctions on Su Chen.

Su Chen had no choice but to agree to the superior's request.

However, the number of participants will be decided by Su Chen.

Su Chen only hoped that the higher-ups would bring some experts over, but the higher-ups did not agree.

The above means that not only should experts be brought, but also a group of soldiers should be brought to protect Su Chen.

Ostensibly for Su Chen's safety, their true intentions remain unknown.

After considering it for a moment, Su Chen finally agreed to the above request.

Soon after, more than a hundred people were sent from above. The leader was Chen Anrong, a young woman of average appearance who wore glasses and looked refined, but spoke with great arrogance.

Just by listening to him speak, you can tell that he is a difficult person to get along with, and he gives off a condescending feeling.

He knew that Su Chen was preparing to travel far away on four interstellar warships.

After meeting Su Chen, she exchanged a few polite words before saying that four interstellar warships were not enough and that she hoped to have another interstellar warship under her command.

Su Chen decisively rejected his request and arranged for him and all his men to be with Tang Yumo.

He also emphasized: "This interstellar warship is under the command of Tang Yumo, and everyone must obey his orders."

Upon hearing this, Chen Anrong immediately objected, smiling slightly as she said, "I have no problem with Tang Yumo commanding this interstellar warship." "However, what position should I hold on this warship?"

“I’m not an expert, and the people I brought probably aren’t willing to take orders from others.”

"Personally, I think I should be the deputy commander."

"In that case, it will be more reliable for Tang Yumo and me to work together."

"Moreover, I'm afraid Tang Yumo will be too busy to manage the entire interstellar warship by himself."

Chen Anrong said a lot, but her ultimate goal was to become the deputy commander.

Su Chen thought about it and agreed.

There is a difference between a deputy commander and a commander. He believed that Tang Yumo could manage Chen Anrong well.

After sending Chen Anrong away, Su Chen specifically called Tang Yumo over and gave him some instructions, telling him to keep a close eye on this group of people and not to let them make any moves.

If anything unusual is detected, the space soldiers can be ordered to detain them directly.

Tang Yumo nodded, rubbing her hands together and said, "Understood. It's best if he doesn't mess with me."

After saying that, he left excitedly.

Seeing his retreating figure, Su Chen shook his head with a wry smile.

This girl doesn't seem to be afraid of Chen Anrong at all; on the contrary, she seems to hope that Chen Anrong will cause some trouble.

That way, he would have a chance to make a move.

No one likes having a stranger in their home, especially one who wants to interfere with their living space.

Tang Yumo was no exception.

Therefore, he was single-mindedly trying to get Chen Anrong away, at least to prevent her from causing trouble for him on his interstellar warship.

After Chen Anrong arrived, she kept urging Su Chen to set sail.

He was the most anxious one.

Su Chen made it very clear to him that they could not set off until the Tianlong of China returned.

But Chen Anrong didn't think so. He said they could set off right now.

The Tianlong spacecraft has maintained contact with them, and they can access all the data without waiting.

Su Chen shook his head firmly, giving him no reason whatsoever.

Chen Anrong was furious; she had originally intended to win over Tang Yumo and the others.

But Tang Yumo showed him no respect whatsoever and was his enemy at every turn.

In the end, he gave up and turned his attention to Yuan Jingna.

I tried to find Yuan Jingna several times, but she was always working in her research lab and I couldn't see her at all.

Having no other option, he could only turn his attention to Wang Jianfeng and Professor Wang.
Professor Wang is still on the coldest planet, and we haven't met yet.

Therefore, in the end, the only person he could talk to was Wang Jianfeng.

In order to keep Chen Anrong in check, Wang Jianfeng met with him a few times and listened to some of Chen Anrong's thoughts.

Judging from Chen Anrong's ideas, although he has his own pride and his way of doing things is not very likable, his ideas are not actually wrong.

Wang Jianfeng gave him a vague answer, telling him to wait a little longer and that he would have a proper talk with Su Chen about the matter.

But several days passed and he still hadn't given Chen Anrong a reply.

Chen Anrong knew he was just giving her a perfunctory answer.

That day, Chen Anrong found Wang Jianfeng again and chatted with him casually.

The topic of their conversation was the conflict between him and Su Chen from some time ago.

"I heard that you had a conflict with Su Chen before. Su Chen scolded you and even wanted to kick you out of the base."

"He went too far. You two should be on the same level, complementing each other. How could he treat you like this?"

"Isn't this a sign that I don't respect you?"

Chen Anrong was trying to sow discord in a sarcastic and insinuating manner.

Wang Jianfeng grinned and nodded in agreement with Chen Anrong.

"That's just how he is. Everyone has to listen to him. If they don't, he'll get upset."

After Wang Jianfeng finished speaking, he glanced at Chen Anrong and saw a hint of smugness on her face. Clearly, his words had struck a chord with her.

Chen Anrong clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Since you're dissatisfied with him too, why do you still listen to his orders?"

“I think it would be better if you were in charge of the entire planetary base; you should make him obey your orders.”

"He is an expert, and he should not concern himself with anything other than his research."

"If you want, I can fully support you, and the higher-ups will also support you."

After saying that, he glanced at Wang Jianfeng again and said thoughtfully, "Don't worry, if you can control everything, you will be the leader of the entire base in the future, and no one will be able to pull you down from your position."

Wang Jianfeng shook his head with difficulty: "You don't know how powerful Su Chen is. Your method simply won't work. The two of us alone won't be of any use."

He wanted to find out how many people Chen Anrong and her group had planted in the base.

Chen Anrong smiled mysteriously and said with great certainty, "As long as you are willing, someone will naturally cooperate with you."

"Don't forget, everyone who comes to the base has been selected by the higher-ups. I can't say that everyone will support you, but there will definitely be many people who will help you, that's for sure."

Wang Jianfeng was surprised to hear this, and he didn't know whether Chen Anrong was exaggerating or if it was true.

However, from his words, we can infer that there are still people sent from above inside the base.

If the higher-ups want to, it could very well cause a huge upheaval.

He couldn't help but worry, and then asked, "Okay, what should I do?"

Chen Anrong didn't completely trust Wang Jianfeng either. He needed Wang Jianfeng to do something before he would believe him.

"What you need to do now is put me in the command position of the interstellar warship, so that we can trust each other, don't you think?"

Wang Jianfeng nodded, saying he would find a way.

After he left, Wang Jianfeng contacted Su Chen by phone and told him about it.

Su Chen was not surprised.

Because before Chen Anrong arrived, he had analyzed the situation and what Chen Anrong would do.

His boldness surprised Su Chen slightly; he hadn't expected him to find Wang Jianfeng so quickly and tell him all this.

He personally felt that Chen Anrong might be testing Wang Jianfeng, so he told Wang Jianfeng not to act rashly.

As for their final decision, Su Chen thought it could be delayed a little longer.

If necessary, we can hand over command of a starship to Chen Anrong and see what he does.
After Su Chen finished explaining his thoughts, he asked Wang Jianfeng what he thought.

Wang Jianfeng grinned, intending to go with the flow.

If things proceed according to his plan, he will then trap them like turtles in a jar, not only shattering Chen Anrong's dreams but also uncovering certain individuals hidden on Earth 2. (End of Chapter)
