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

Su Chen asked Zhou Quanmiao if there was anything he could help with.

Zhou Quanmiao hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He was very happy to hear Su Chen say that, but he was too embarrassed to make any requests.

Although some memories were erased, Su Chen and his team have now developed a very good memory-preserving potion that can basically retain most of the memories.

It just blocked out some important information.

Zhou Quanmiao still remembered some things about her time with Su Chen.

Knowing that Su Chen and the others had treated him well, and that he had already left, he felt rather awkward about asking them for something again.

Especially since I was at an Antarctic base.

The Antarctic base and Su Chen's group are competitors.

Su Chen was willing to help entirely because of himself.

Seeing Zhou Quanmiao's troubled expression, Tang Yumo smiled and said, "Don't worry about it too much."

"Even if we help you rebuild this base, it won't affect us much."

After he finished speaking, he asked Zhou Quanmiao why he chose this place.

He simply couldn't understand why, when he could have had a better life, he had come to such a remote place.

Zhou Quanmiao sighed, his voice a little hoarse.

"After returning to the Antarctic base, a great deal of change occurred there."

"I am not the same person I used to be, and the Antarctic base is not the same Antarctic base it used to be."

“I was just an ordinary researcher there. Out of consideration for our past relationship, they sent me to this base to be a commander, which made me extremely happy.”

"If it were someone else, they might only let me do some research, but wouldn't let me enjoy such high treatment."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yumo couldn't help but purse her lips and look around at her surroundings.

Is this considered high treatment?

However, it is indeed a relatively high position.

Zhou Quanmiao added, "Although the base is not in good condition right now, we can make it better through our own efforts. This is also a kind of experience for us."

Su Chen nodded and said again, "If you have any difficulties, just let us know. Although we are at sea, we still have a lot of supplies. You can also contact Wang Jianfeng and ask him to help you with some things."

Zhou Quanmiao had actually thought about it.

However, he was too far from Earth 2, and there was a high risk of danger if someone were to deliver something to him. He was reluctant to let others risk their lives to help him.

Now that Su Chen has spoken up, he thinks he can contact Wang Jianfeng for help if necessary.

The base doesn't actually lack anything right now; the supplies are adequate and can be supplied to a manageable extent.

Zhou Quanmiao is currently worried about the construction of the base.

He has no materials, and even if he did, he hasn't figured out how to build the base yet.

They've been repairing and replacing things, making the base look brand new and much better than before.

Zhou Quanmiao still couldn't clearly state his requirements, and Su Chen didn't force him any further.

I plan to visit the base in the next few days and help Zhou Quanmiao.

No matter what, they were once one of our own.

Although they have left, everyone left peacefully without any conflict.

Zhou Quanmiao has performed very well, both at the base and at other times.

The next day, Su Chen and Tang Yumo strolled around the base.

This was the first time Tang Yumo had ever seen such a dilapidated base.

How to describe this base? It's like an ancient castle, with all sorts of weapons mounted on top, making it look incredibly strong, but in reality, it couldn't withstand a single shot from their interstellar warships.

Moreover, many places have been in disrepair for years.

Tang Yumo shook her head and said helplessly, "I don't think this base needs any further repairs or improvements. Let's just demolish it and rebuild it."

At this point, he suddenly thought of Wang Jianfeng.

“Isn’t Wang Jianfeng in charge of dismantling the base? He must have a lot of experience in dismantling. Why don’t we have him come here and bring some equipment so that we can dismantle Zhou Quanmiao and rebuild it?”

Su Chen waved his hand, saying that although it was simple, it could quickly help Zhou Quanmiao.

However, Zhou Quanmiao had already expressed his idea that he hoped to build the base through his own efforts.

If they all help with the construction, Zhou Quanmiao will have nothing left to do.

This doesn't align with Su Chen's principles of helping, nor with Zhou Quanmiao's requirements.

His idea was to establish a base on the basis of the planet's resources.

To establish a base that belongs to this planet.

Su Chen found Zhou Quanmiao and said he wanted to see some information about the base.

Zhou Quanmiao looked slightly embarrassed, because he was no longer Su Chen's subordinate and now belonged to the Antarctic base. It was impossible for an outsider to see the base's information.

Su Chen hadn't thought about this question.

He and Zhou Quanmiao were so familiar with each other that he still regarded him as the Zhou Quanmiao of the past.

Seeing Zhou Quanmiao's predicament, he suddenly realized what was going on, and shook his head with a smile.

"You should ask your superiors; I believe they will agree."

Zhou Quanmiao nodded and immediately reported to his superiors.

As expected, the higher-ups agreed and even demanded Zhou Quanmiao's full cooperation.

Zhou Quanmiao handed all the base's data to Su Chen. Su Chen looked at it carefully, nodded, and said with a smile, "You have good judgment."

"Although the base on this planet isn't very good, it contains a lot of resources underground. We can mine these resources and make use of them."

"I believe that your base will be completely transformed in the near future."

Zhou Quanmiao nodded, then pointed to a hill not far away and said, "Our people are mining some resources there, but unfortunately, their equipment is not as powerful as yours, and they don't have enough personnel, so the mining progress is slow."

Su Chen thought for a moment and said, "We do have some mining equipment on our interstellar warship. Do you need it?"

Zhou Quanmiao remained silent for a long while, then shook his head and said, "You need to use this equipment for other purposes. Even if you let me use it temporarily, it won't last more than a few days."

"What I mean is... could you help us research some mining equipment and other things using what we already have at the base?"

"You just need to provide some research technology, and we'll take care of the rest."

"There are still some experts in the base, we can't let them be idle."

Su Chen nodded.

Then, he brought Tang Yumo over and asked her to continue cooperating with Zhou Quanmiao's work.

Try your best to meet any of Zhou Quanmiao's requests.

Su Chen then devoted himself to research, starting with the mining equipment.

Studying the equipment using existing data is also a challenge for Su Chen.

Due to a shortage of materials, many pieces of equipment need to be redesigned.

For example, engine problems.

In fact, their starships have quite a few engines, so they could easily wipe out Zhou Quan in one fell swoop.

However, giving and researching are different.

You give someone an engine, but what if it breaks down someday?

This device is unusable. If Su Chen hands over the technology to them, they can develop it on their own.

This is more beneficial to them, which is why the Antarctic base agreed to let Su Chen see the base's information.
Those guys aren't easy to deal with, and they wouldn't let Su Chen see their things for no reason.

The saying goes, "No one gets up early without a reason."

They agreed because they wanted to get something from Su Chen.

Su Chen was also willing to grant them some small requests.

As Su Chen developed the mining equipment, the mining speed continued to increase.

With sufficient resources, the base can be built naturally.

Some of these resources are useful to the base, while others are not. However, these resources are useful to others, so they can be sold to others or given to the Antarctic base.

The Antarctic base will provide them with more support.

Su Chen believed that the base could be completely transformed simply by relying on underground resources.

Those who live near mountains live off the mountains; those who live near trees live off the trees.

Using the resources they had discovered, Su Chen devised a plan for them and outlined the construction of the base.

He handed the plan to Zhou Quanmiao.

After reading it, Zhou Quanmiao gave a thumbs up in admiration. He had also been at the base for a while, but he still hadn't figured out how to build the base.

Su Chen had only been at the base for a few days, yet he had already come up with a plan for them, and it was a very clever plan that was tailored to the local conditions and in line with the current development of the base.

Zhou Quanmiao was so moved that she almost cried.

Su Chen patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to do his best, as this was all the help he could offer.

On this day, Tang Yumo came to find Su Chen.

He hasn't had much to do these past few days. Apart from checking on the interstellar warship, he spends the rest of his time wandering around the base.

He discovered that the base was missing far too many things; it lacked all sorts of things.

Weapons were scarce, and some soldiers were still using relatively outdated weapons.

This weapon doesn't do much damage to the enemy, but it's better than nothing.

Fortunately, there are no bad guys at the base.

They've built so many bases and have never encountered any danger.

Especially in the area of ​​armed conflict.

Su Chen asked Tang Yumo to sit down and poured her a cup of tea. He first inquired about the modifications to the interstellar warship, which was the main reason they were staying here.

Su Chen was very concerned.

Tang Yumo pursed her lips and sighed, "The damage to the exterior is very extensive. I estimate it will take about a month to repair, and most of the materials will need to be replaced."

"Replace it with the latest materials, and there won't be any problems in the future."

Su Chen nodded; this was necessary.

He then inquired about the base's situation and what it lacked.

Tang Yumo sighed and said with an incredulous look, "Why do you think their base is like this? I just went to the cafeteria, and guess what I found?"

Su Chen was very surprised. "You're not telling me they don't even have enough food?"

Tang Yumo nodded; this was also something that greatly shocked him.

However, the cafeteria was indeed short of food.

On their first day back at the base, Su Chen and Tang Yumo could sense it.

Because Zhou Quanmiao's dinner for them wasn't particularly lavish, they could deduce that the base didn't have much food.

As for nutritious food, there's no need to even mention it; being able to eat at all is already a blessing.

Su Chen hadn't expected the base to be in such a bad state. He asked Tang Yumo to retrieve some supplies from the interstellar warship for everyone to use.

Other things can be taken slowly, but food can't.

Then he called Yuan Jingna over and asked her to set up a planting base on the outskirts of the base, so that they could have their own grain and vegetables within this month.

Yuan Jingna nodded, not taking the matter to heart.

For him, this was a relatively simple matter.

He didn't even call in any experts; he planned to do the research himself.

The next day, he took his equipment to the land he had chosen and began to survey the land.

To grow crops, you must first observe what the soil is like before you can find suitable seeds.

Yuan Jingna has a wealth of experience, so as long as he can test the elements of the land, he can basically prescribe the right medicine.

After testing the land, Yuan Jingna began to cultivate it.

They have large machines, so all the planting was completed in a single day.

Now, all we need to do is wait for the seeds to germinate.

This planet actually has a fairly good environment. Although it is deserted, the land is not much different from the land on Earth.

After using the ripening agent, Yuan Jingna felt that the plants could grow to maturity within ten days.

In a few more days, we can harvest the fruit from the plant.

However, five days later, an unexpected situation occurred.

All the plants that Yuan Jingna planted died.

The plant grew, but just as it was about to bear fruit, it died.

Yuan Jingna didn't find out immediately. He had full confidence in himself and didn't think there would be any surprises.

Zhou Quanmiao told him about this.

Upon learning of this, Yuan Jingna rushed to the scene. Looking at the withered and dead plants, Yuan Jingna was filled with disbelief.

what on earth is it?

Why do plants die?
He immediately took a sample and then performed a simple test on the plant.

He initially suspected sabotage, but after testing, he discovered that the plant deaths were related to the soil.

The soil contains an element, the name of which is unknown, and it is this element that damages the roots of plants.

This led to the death of the plant.

Yuan Jingna immediately frowned and patted her face in regret.

How could you be so careless?

It seems to be my own problem.

He should have paid attention to the soil of the land, but because he was too proud, he didn't take it to heart, which led to the current situation.

Su Chen and Tang Yumo also learned about this, and the two of them went to the planting base to take a look.

Seeing that a large area of ​​plants had died, Tang Yumo shook her head helplessly and asked Su Chen with a frown, "What do you think is the reason for this? Is it a problem with the soil?"

Su Chen remained silent.

There must be a land issue, otherwise how could Zhou Quanmiao and his team have failed to cultivate the land?

But the key reason lies with Yuan Jingna.

It must have been Yuan Jingna's carelessness. (End of Chapter)
