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

Wang Jianfeng was still thinking about how to deal with the group of people in front of him, but suddenly they seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

He didn't realize it at first, thinking the group was doing something else.

A few days later, they discovered that they couldn't even see a trace of this group of people.

When asked, others said they were still investigating, but not as frequently as before, and they were no longer looking for people. Instead, they were wandering around the base with a notebook in their hand, seemingly recording something.

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianfeng frowned slightly.

Could it be that they've changed their strategy?

Or is there some other conspiracy?

While pondering, Wang Jianfeng walked to a manufacturing plant in the base.

At that moment, at the entrance of the factory, Chen Anrong and a few others were whispering to each other in small notebooks, looking just like a group of children secretly recording other people's mistakes.

Wang Jianfeng stopped and stared at them with a frown, trying to glean some clues from their expressions.

But it was too far away, and I couldn't see anything.

After a while, someone suddenly spotted Wang Jianfeng.

Chen Anrong waved enthusiastically to Wang Jianfeng, signaling him to come over.

Wang Jianfeng walked up to the group with his hands behind his back, took a closer look at the notebooks in their hands, and said with a smile, "What are you doing? Taking notes, are you writing down your daily life?"

Chen Anrong smiled and said frankly, "We are recording some investigation results and the situation here."

"We will report this truthfully to our superiors."

After he finished speaking, he handed the notebook to Wang Jianfeng, "Would you like to take a look?"

Seeing Chen Anrong's attitude, Wang Jianfeng's smile blossomed like a flower, and he couldn't help but smile slightly.

Is he really going to give it to him, or is he just playing hard to get?

While he was thinking, he chuckled and reached out to take it.

Just as his hand was about to touch the notebook, Chen Anrong suddenly reached out, and the notebook retracted.

Wang Jianfeng pursed his lips; he knew it would turn out this way.

"If you don't want to show me, fine, I have a clear conscience anyway."

After saying that, Chen Anrong smiled and said, "I'll take it to your office later, you can look at it however you want."

Wang Jianfeng couldn't help but purse his lips. Once he delivered it to the office, who knew if the contents of the notebook were true?

Seeing Wang Jianfeng's disdainful expression, Chen Anrong suddenly realized that she couldn't let the notebook out of Wang Jianfeng's sight.

Otherwise, he would definitely be suspicious.

After thinking for a moment, he handed the notebook back to Wang Jianfeng.

"Go ahead and watch if you want, it's not a big deal anyway."

This time, Wang Jianfeng was determined, and even when the other party handed him the notes, he didn't take them.

He didn't want to be humiliated a second time.

If I fall for that again, I'll be utterly humiliated.

Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, Chen Anrong smiled, shook her head, stuffed the notebook into his arms, and strode away.

Watching Chen Anrong's departing figure, Wang Jianfeng was a little confused.

What's going on? He actually gave it to himself.

He looked down at the notebook in his arms, took it out, and smelled a faint fragrance.

I opened the notebook; it was filled with writing.

The rest of the report was fairly normal. Wang Jianfeng nodded repeatedly as he read it. It was indeed a truthful report to his superiors, without any hidden agendas or attempts to slander them.

But when he flipped through the pages, Wang Jianfeng realized something was wrong.

Although the previous reports were factual, there was always a hidden meaning in the words, carrying a hint of slander.

He frowned, unsure of what Chen Anrong was trying to do.

The notes at the beginning were clearly written before, while those at the end were written recently. Why is there such a big difference between the two?
Has he changed his mind?

He knows he made a mistake and wants to correct it.

Wang Jianfeng stroked his chin; he didn't believe Chen Anrong would be that kind of person.

But if not, how do you explain the change in attitude in the notebook, and the change in him personally?
After thinking for a long time, Wang Jianfeng decided to return the notebook to him and take another look to see if Chen Anrong had any other intentions.

Arriving at Chen Anrong's office, I gently knocked on the door, and it opened slightly.

Chen Anrong knew Wang Jianfeng was coming, so she didn't close the door.

He saw Wang Jianfeng through the crack in the door.

Wang Jianfeng was peering inside, his head craning out like a thief.

Chen Anrong coughed and said, "Come in."

Chen Jianfeng pushed open the door and entered, placing his laptop on the table. Without Chen Anrong asking him to sit down, he found a spot, crossed his legs, and sat down.

Regardless of whether Chen Anrong was annoying or not, he lit a cigarette and took a few puffs.

"After reading your notes, I have a question, but I'm not sure if I should ask it."

Chen Anrong nodded with a smile.

Wang Jianfeng said, "The content at the beginning and the content at the end seem quite different. It feels like two different styles, written by two different people. What's going on?"

"Did someone write it for you?"

Chen Anrong said with a smile, "I wrote them all. I actually disliked you before, so I couldn't help but embellish some things in my writing."

"But recently, I suddenly realized that I haven't been doing a good job."

"I've calmed myself down, and now I'll be myself and report everything truthfully."

Wang Jianfeng coughed softly and took a deep drag on his cigarette.

That sounds nice, but who knows what really happened?

Could it be that she's trying to lull herself into a false sense of security and lower her guard?

Seeing Wang Jianfeng's wary expression, Chen Anrong sighed, knowing that she couldn't change Wang Jianfeng's mind in a short time.

After all, he had done certain things before, and the people sent from above had always been mainly opposed to him.

How could they suddenly say they wouldn't oppose them anymore and would coexist peacefully with them?
We must prove everything with concrete actions.

Wang Jianfeng talked to Chen Anrong about other things, such as some factories recorded in his notes.

He did raise some ideas, questions, and suggestions regarding certain factories.

Wang Jianfeng thinks these ideas are good, and he hopes they can be corrected.

However, he wasn't quite clear on the specifics, so he chatted with Chen Anrong for a long time.

After their conversation, Chen Anrong was in a very good mood, and Wang Jianfeng was in an even better mood.

During the conversation, he noticed that Chen Anrong seemed to have changed a bit.

These suggestions were very helpful to him.

After returning, he held a small meeting and demanded that everyone immediately rectify certain factories.

Afterwards, Wang Jianfeng, having nothing else to do, contacted Su Chen and specifically mentioned Chen Anrong's changes.

He pinched his face, as if he was feeling pain.

"What do you think this woman is thinking? Can she really change things? Is she plotting something? Trying to lower my guard so she can pull a fast one on me?" Su Chen smiled, unsure of the situation, and could only warn Wang Jianfeng to be careful.

While being careful, we must not let others down.

Since he expressed goodwill to Wang Jianfeng, Wang Jianfeng should also reciprocate with goodwill.

Wang Jianfeng hummed in agreement and said something that greatly surprised Su Chen.

"If they can really change for the better, we can let them stay at the base, what do you think?"

Su Chen shook his head.

"They don't need to stay at the base. They're not experts, they don't have any special talents, and staying would only cause trouble."

Wang Jianfeng nodded in disappointment and did not continue the topic.

He then inquired about the voyage.

Su Chen told him that everything was progressing steadily and there was no need to worry.

Wang Jianfeng was very curious about how long it would take to reach the planet that Su Chen considered good.

Su Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I'm not sure, but I estimate it will take at least a year."

One year.

Wang Jianfeng opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

It will take at least a year, and two years in total for the round trip.

Over such a long period of time, many things have changed imperceptibly.

If you make several trips back and forth like this, decades will probably pass in the blink of an eye.

For the universe, for a planet, decades is nothing.

But for a person, decades are extremely important.

After talking with Su Chen, Wang Jianfeng inspected the several interstellar warships that were under construction.

He wanted to ask, what is the fastest speed that a starship can reach now?
Wang Jianfeng was quite familiar with the speed of Su Chen's interstellar warships.

We arrived at the experts' research lab.

Wang Jianfeng asked about the question he was concerned about, and one of the experts gave him the answer, which made Wang Jianfeng frown slightly.

Several years ago, he thought that interstellar warships should travel at this speed.

Why hasn't the speed improved at all after several years?

He asked the reason, somewhat puzzled.

The experts could only manage a wry smile.

Most experts are not capable of researching things at the level of interstellar warships.

Let alone research, some experts haven't even had the chance to get close to interstellar warships.
Most of the technology for the interstellar warships was provided by Su Chen; the other experts had little technical expertise.

This means that as long as Su Chen doesn't conduct research, the interstellar warship will remain stationary and won't undergo significant changes.

Many experts are also researching interstellar warships, but their research is conducted using technology provided by Su Chen.

It could be said that Su Chen provided them with a way of thinking and then let them study it.

They need to conduct their research according to Su Chen's line of thinking.

If they didn't follow Su Chen's line of thinking, they wouldn't have been able to build interstellar warships at all, which led to the stagnation of interstellar warship development.

Su Chen has developed the latest warship, bringing interstellar warships to the top level.

Other experts follow his line of thinking, so how could they possibly surpass him?

Wang Jianfeng looked slightly disappointed.

Just then, Chen Anrong's voice came from behind.

Turning around, Wang Jianfeng saw Chen Anrong. He smiled, nodded, and greeted her warmly.

Chen Anrong approached Wang Jianfeng, smiled, and looked around. Several interstellar warships stood there like steel behemoths, stretching as far as the eye could see, giving people a very awe-inspiring feeling.

He was curious about what Wang Jianfeng was doing here, so he asked casually.

Wang Jianfeng sighed helplessly and then began to talk about Su Chen and his group's voyage.

Chen Anrong smiled. He originally had the opportunity to travel with Su Chen and the others on an interstellar warship, but he wasted that opportunity.

Thinking of this, he glared at Wang Jianfeng with annoyance: "If it weren't for you, I might be working with Su Chen and the others."

Wang Jianfeng rolled his eyes and said, "What are you thinking about?"

"Even without me, you wouldn't be able to be with Su Chen and the others."

"This voyage is of utmost importance, and there can be absolutely no problems, let alone human error."

He speaks only to the point, knowing what to say and what not to say.

Chen Anrong should be very clear about what she just said.

Chen Anrong truly understood that she could not possibly travel with Su Chen and the others under any circumstances.

Although he was made the deputy commander of the interstellar warship, it was only out of necessity.

At the crucial moment, Su Chen will definitely abandon him.

Just like when he was sailing, no one knew when it started, and suddenly he was gone.

Chen Anrong was also curious about the situation over there, so she made a special inquiry.

Wang Jianfeng didn't hide anything and briefly explained the current situation.

In reality, he didn't know much either, and none of it was a secret.

Chen Anrong took out her notebook and started taking notes.

Wang Jianfeng shrugged and said helplessly, "Does this even need to be recorded?"

She nodded vigorously.

"Of course we need to keep records. Not only do we need to record, but we also need to record what we communicate with others and what we do together."

Wang Jianfeng nodded, then asked with a puzzled look, "What's the use of recording all this? Is it to be shown to the higher-ups, or are you keeping it yourselves?"

Chen Anrong said with a smile, "Of course I'll see it myself."

"It's a habit, but it's also a requirement from above."

"The above means that the work situation should be recorded for future reference or for use during inspections."

"However, almost no one checks our personal belongings."

"Many people have developed the habit of taking notes, and they can look through them when they have nothing to do. They might find something unexpected in one of the records."

When Wang Jianfeng heard him say that, a chill ran down his spine.

I've talked to him quite a bit, and I think I've written it all down.

If he had nothing better to do that day and went through the records, would he find something in his own words?
My biggest worry is that if the higher-ups want to see this, will it expose something?
Thinking back carefully to what he had said to Chen Anrong, he realized that he hadn't said anything excessive, hadn't cursed anyone, and hadn't said anything bad about anyone.

I have never said anything like that.

He said he suddenly remembered his contact with Chen Anrong a long time ago.

At that time, he didn't know that Chen Anrong was taking notes, but she must have.

The two of them said a lot of ambiguous things. Will this affect me?
While pondering, Chen Anrong came to a starship and gently touched it, feeling its steel-like coldness and immense size.

He sincerely admired the staff; how could such small bodies have developed such a behemoth? (End of Chapter)
