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

The starship had cracks in some places and was covered in rust, as if it had been through many vicissitudes.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Jingna called over several key personnel and asked them why the outside was in this state and when the repairs were carried out.

One of them reported to Yuan Jingna that they had repaired some severely damaged parts of the starship last month.

The locations that Yuan Jingna saw were rather unusual and could not be repaired at the moment.

They need to dock the starship for repairs.

In addition, in some places, interstellar warships need to be docked on planets for repairs.

After discussing it, the leaders decided to find a planet to stop on for a major overhaul.

Repairing the interstellar warship while at sea would first require reducing its speed, and secondly, the work would be tedious, complex, and dangerous. For various reasons, they did not attempt to perform the repairs.

Experts also examined the exterior and determined that there were no major problems, and it could continue to be used for at least seventy or eighty years without any issues.

Yuan Jingna nodded, and then, still feeling uneasy, inquired about the situation of the other star-level warships.

Someone brought Yuan Jingna some photos.

Looking at the photos, Yuan Jingna felt even more relieved.

Other interstellar warships are not much different from this one; they are also rusty and have many problems that have not been addressed.

Since no one else has taken action, there won't be any problems if he doesn't.

That evening, Yuan Jingna specifically reported this matter to Su Chen and sought his opinion.

In the video, Tang Yumo also mentioned that the interstellar warship does indeed need to undergo major repairs recently and needs to find a planet to dock.

Su Chen nodded and handed the matter over to Yuan Jingna.

If you don't want him to be obsessed with his previous job, find him something else to do, and he will gradually forget about his previous job and won't be so dedicated.

Yuan Jingna readily accepted and summoned relevant experts.

They sailed slowly, searching for a planet to land on.

Since this stop is only for repairing the interstellar warship, the planet to be found does not need to have any special features; the only requirement is high safety.

In reality, the surrounding planets are not very safe.

Because nobody knows what's going on inside.

They can only make inferences based on appearance.

Based on certain features of a planet's surface, they can roughly deduce its environment.

Soon, they found a planet.

The planet was yellowish-brown and dominated by hills. Yuan Jingna immediately reported the information to Su Chen.

Subsequently, several interstellar warships slowly moved towards the yellowish-brown planet.

As they approached the planet, Yuan Jingna ordered several interstellar fighters to enter the planet's interior for inspection.

Several interstellar fighters slowly entered the planet and explored in four directions.

On this desolate planet, the landscape is dominated by yellowish-brown mountains.

It occupies almost 96% of the land area, with a few peaks mainly composed of rocks. There are no special dangers around it, and no living organisms or plants.

It's a dead star.

Aside from the air quality issues, no other findings were discovered.

Subsequently, they sent out robots to inspect the planet's surface, but still found nothing wrong.

Several interstellar warships slowly docked on the planet.

Since it's all barren mountains, there's no need to find a particularly flat place; you can just stop somewhere.

The important thing is that there are no facilities here, so even if it causes some harm to the surrounding area, it doesn't matter.

After docking, the external environment still needs to be inspected.

Determine the outside environment, then put on protective suits and go outside to repair the interstellar warship.

After everything was finalized.

Specialized personnel then began repairs on the starship.

Based on the previous repair, they will need at least two months.

Su Chen specifically asked everyone to hurry up, so the repair time may be shortened to between one month and one and a half months.

During this period, Su Chen and his group were not idle.

Su Chen was busy with his own things, while Tang Yumo was in charge of directing the repairs.

As for Yuan Jingna, she resumed her research.

This time, instead of studying the previous soil, he prepared to plant on this planet.

This planting is somewhat special; it doesn't require building any laboratory, and can be carried out directly outside the planet.

Find a relatively flat piece of land, drive in a large machine, turn over the ground first, and then begin the first planting.

Yuan Jingna now has a lot of seeds.

These seeds can adapt to a variety of harsh environments.

In particular, the special seeds that have been researched can basically be planted on some uninhabited planets.

They can grow even without oxygen.

This time, Yuan Jingna was more cautious.

Perhaps it was a matter of luck, or perhaps it was a matter of technology, but in less than half a month, a large patch of weeds grew not far from the interstellar warship.

This wild grass doesn't have any particular value, but it's already quite remarkable that it can be grown in this kind of place.

If it can grow and reproduce on a large scale, this planet may slowly change.

As the environment and the plants themselves change, plants may undergo certain changes over a certain period of time.

When plants change, their surroundings also change.

In particular, some gases produced by plants can have an impact on the entire planet.

For example, photosynthesis, which everyone is familiar with.

On this planet, it's actually quite difficult to find any sunlight anymore.

Because Su Chen and his group are getting further and further away, so far that they have already created a certain distance between themselves and the sun.

The two can no longer meet.

However, besides the Sun, there are other planets similar to Mars in other parts of the universe.

That is, the so-called sun.

Therefore, most planets have day and night cycles, but the timing is not always the same.

On Earth, 24 hours make up a day, 12 hours are daytime, and 12 hours are nighttime.

However, this timeframe can change depending on the planet's movement and distance. Su Chen, having heard that Yuan Jingna had cultivated a large area of ​​vegetation, curiously stepped out of the interstellar warship to admire the beautiful scenery outside.

In such a desolate area, the sudden appearance of a lush green meadow is truly a unique and spectacular sight, a sight to behold.

On some previous planets, Su Chen and his team had also planted a large number of plants, hoping that the plants would bring changes to the planets.

According to current data, the planet's climate and temperature have changed.

The changes are most noticeable, especially in terms of air quality.

However, it may not necessarily be oxygen; it could very well be other gases, and these gases may be harmful to the human body.

Wearing protective clothing, Su Chen walked up to the grass and observed the plants up close.

These plants have exceptionally large roots and leaves.

Su Chen vaguely saw some familiar plants, which was caused by genetic mutation.

This plant is the result of years of research by Yuan Jingna and her team, who fused together various powerful genes from many plants to create a wild grass.

This wild grass can adapt to a wide variety of harsh environments, is cold-resistant and can grow even without air, and has an extremely strong growth capacity.

Even if you place it in very hard soil, it can still sprout.

You can just throw it on the ground, even on a concrete road, as long as there's a slight crack, as long as it's buried by something, it can grow.

Moreover, its roots have extremely strong penetrating power.

This penetrating power can forcefully pierce into the rock, allowing it to take root and grow strong in the hard place.

Yuan Jingna followed Su Chen, patiently explaining to him the various principles of plants.

He knew that Su Chen was very knowledgeable in this area, but he still couldn't help but share his research results and joy with Su Chen.

Su Chen nodded from time to time and praised him generously.

Tang Yumo, who was listening nearby, gradually lost interest. She squatted down and reached out to pull out a blade of grass.

But when he pulled hard, he could feel the weeds growing firmly underneath.

He tried to pull with both hands, but there was still no movement.

He felt very curious, and an idea popped into his head as his eyes darted around.

"Could we use this grass to make something? I think it's very resilient; could we weave it into something practical?"

Yuan Jingna smiled.

He had had this idea before, because some grasses they cultivated on other planets and in their research had good flexibility and hardness, and could be used to make things.

For example, flower baskets, but woven items are not very useful. They are expensive to make and have very limited uses.

They can't possibly weave the grass they grow on other planets into various flower baskets and sell them, can they?

Making a few as exhibits is fine, but selling them is impossible.

As for making other things, Yuan Jingna thought long and hard, but couldn't figure out what she could use them for.

However, Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna had different ideas.

Yuan Jingna's idea is to use plants themselves to make things, but the natural scope will be very small.

Tang Yumo also had this idea, but his thoughts went a step further.

"This grass is so resilient that we can use a machine to crush it into powder, and then use the powder to make all sorts of things. I think if we succeed, we should be able to make a lot of good things."

Yuan Jingna's eyes lit up; it seemed to make some sense.

He didn't know much about this, so he looked at Su Chen.

Su Chen nodded; it was indeed a good idea.

He tasked Tang Yumo with leading a group of experts to study the matter.

If successful, this matter will be handed over to Wang Jianfeng.

Wang Jianfeng really enjoys doing business, so let's hand this matter over to him and see what kind of results he can achieve.

With Su Chen's consent, Tang Yumo began to think about where to start.

He remembered a friend who did plastic processing, melting down waste plastic into granules, and then using these granules to make all sorts of things.

He didn't know exactly how it was made, but he felt that this method could be put to use.

He went back to work happily.

Su Chen and Yuan Jingna continued their discussion about plants, extending from the weeds in front of them to other plants, and then from other plants to the changes on various planets, eventually leading them to talk about the origin of all things.

Yuan Jingna had previously conducted research on the origin of all things for a period of time, but ultimately failed.

His judgment was flawed.

Yuan Jingna has always been troubled by this matter, and she hopes to find the origin of all things.

Because we have found the origin of all things, we can learn about other plants through the reproductive methods of the origin of all things, and even create another origin of all things through its structure and capabilities.

This will solve all the planting problems.

Once you understand the principles and origins of all things, you will have no problem planting anywhere.

Unfortunately, due to the mysterious theories behind this, it is very difficult to obtain results from research.

The two had been talking for a long time when a loud noise suddenly came from behind them, interrupting their conversation.

Looking back, I saw something fall from the person working at height.

Su Chen's expression changed slightly; such an accident was rare, or even impossible.

Because working at heights inherently carries considerable risks, experts have developed specialized equipment for this purpose.

These devices provide excellent protection for people and their belongings, preventing them from falling out.

What happened? Where did the problem occur?
Yuan Jingna and Su Chen's biggest worry was that the equipment would malfunction.

If the equipment malfunctions, it poses a significant safety hazard, necessitating the recall of all the equipment.

When the two arrived in front of the mirror, a large crowd had already gathered, and they fell silent as they looked at the things that had fallen to the ground.

This is a backpack worn by a worker at height. There are signs of a break in the straps, indicating that the backpack broke suddenly.

Su Chen picked up the backpack and weighed it in his hand. It wasn't very heavy. If it were an ordinary backpack, it might have cracked after being worn for a long time.

However, their backpacks are the most advanced backpacks available, especially the straps, which are designed so perfectly that there is virtually no problem with them breaking.

Even if you try to cut it with a knife, it's very difficult to cut through, let alone break off suddenly on its own, which is obviously abnormal.

Su Chen examined the fracture carefully and found that it was not caused by human intervention, but rather a natural break.

But why would it break naturally?
Su Chen called over the expert who had the accident.

The expert was now pale with fright and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Su Chen patted him on the shoulder, reassuring him not to worry. (End of Chapter)
