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

Small intelligent robots are relatively easy to research and develop successfully.

Su Chen had this idea when he first came into contact with intelligent robots.

The experts had a great deal of discussion at the time.

There have been many ideas about how intelligent robots should be developed and researched.

The most feasible solution, in the end, was to design the robot's appearance according to human standards.

Besides these, there are many other ideas.

For example, large robots could be manufactured to work on construction sites and similar locations.

There are also small robots that can perform tasks in confined spaces.

These ideas were actually conceived a long time ago.

However, for various reasons, this has not been achieved, mostly due to technical issues.

Now that an expert has suddenly made a suggestion, Su Chen thought about some of his previous ideas.

After thinking for a while, he shook his head with a wry smile.

Small robots are worth researching; the difficulty level is neither too high nor too low.

The main question is how small the robot needs to be.

Su Chen can research some relatively small robots, but not as small as one might imagine.

Entering the planet's caves is definitely out of the question.

Therefore, he ultimately did not express his opinion.

With current technology, we haven't mastered the core technologies, so we can't make it as small as people imagine.

After the meeting, everyone dispersed to do what they needed to do.

Some people stayed in the meeting room to record and monitor the content on the screen, and so on.

Su Chen and his group would also come to check on things from time to time.

Because they had important business to attend to here, Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna did not return but stayed on Su Chen's interstellar warship.

Based on their observations over a period of two weeks, they discovered that reptiles do indeed possess extremely high intelligence and are not low-level creatures.

Although their living conditions are harsh, they possess extraordinary intelligence.

They didn't know what was inside the cave, but they saw on the screen that reptiles often used various tree trunks and branches to hide and camouflage themselves in order to protect their caves.

Every so often, they would change the cover near the cave to confuse the cave dwellers.

What are reptiles wary of?
Based on their observations, this planet appears to have only one type of life.

Would they kill each other?

After much deliberation, the group concluded that these creatures were indeed capable of cannibalism, which is the nature of many species, especially reptiles.

Unfortunately, we didn't witness their infighting; there's no real record of it, which is quite regrettable.

However, they are confident that one day they will capture these images, perhaps in just a few days.

In fact, everyone was getting a little impatient. Several experts applied to enter directly after meeting Su Chen, but Su Chen sternly refused.

He thought it wasn't the right time yet, but the experts thought it was, offering all sorts of reasons. However, they were all stumped by a question from Su Chen.

Su Chen asked them.

"If you think that's enough, then let me ask you: do you know how high their IQ is? Do you know if they even know we exist?"

The experts were speechless.

How could they possibly understand?

There's nothing we can do but continue to observe.

Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna were able to remain calm at first, but later on, like the other experts, they also became a little impatient.

The two of them found Su Chen that day and poured out their troubles to him.

Tang Yumo wiped away her tears, looking like she was about to cry, which made Su Chen roll his eyes.

Then she heard him say in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Su Chen, we've been in the conference room for so long already, isn't that enough?"

"I think it's fine. If you don't let us through, I'm afraid the other experts will rebel."

Su Chen glared at him irritably but didn't say anything.

Yuan Jingna smiled and said calmly, "Everyone wants to go, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it."

"We'll have to go sooner or later. Now everyone knows pretty much everything. We've observed everything that could be observed. As for what we can't observe, there's not much hope even if we wait a while longer."

Su Chen nodded slightly to Yuan Jingna; Yuan Jingna's words still made so much sense.

Then look at Tang Yumo, with her carefree and irreverent attitude, she's practically a pampered rich girl.

As for what he said, it goes without saying that it was all nonsense and just sophistry.

"Let everyone get ready, pack all the equipment, select the participants, and then we'll set off."

Yuan Jingna and Tang Yumo immediately perked up.

However, Yuan Jingna immediately frowned as she suddenly thought of something.

It's impossible for all three of them to go to that planet, because someone needs to stay here to guard it.

Of the three of them, one will inevitably remain.

Tang Yumo was smiling, this was exactly what he had been dreaming of, but suddenly he noticed that Yuan Jingna was frowning and not saying anything, so he was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Yuan Jingna smiled and said with a hint of helplessness, "We need to leave someone here to guard it."

Tang Yumo was taken aback, then suddenly realized what was going on, and immediately looked at Su Chen.

He naturally couldn't leave Yuan Jingna here to watch the house; he felt that having Su Chen stay was the most suitable option.
Didn't Su Chen not want to go? Didn't he think it wasn't the right time?

Then he can stay here.

Yuan Jingna never expected that Tang Yumo would look at Su Chen; the meaning couldn't be clearer.

He coughed and said to Tang Yumo, "Why are you looking at Su Chen? He's a key figure, he'll definitely be there."

Tang Yumo rolled her eyes and spoke her mind.

"He doesn't need to go, does he? I don't think he cares that much."

Su Chen forced a smile and said after thinking for a moment, "If you two really want to go, then I'll stay here and look after the house. It doesn't matter whether I go or not."

"Besides, I do feel it's not the right time yet, but it doesn't matter if it's a day earlier or later. Just go and bring the information back."

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna exchanged a glance and fell silent.

Despite Tang Yumo's impressive words earlier, when it came to the real decision, he was unsure and could only look to Yuan Jingna for help.

Yuan Jingna thought about it seriously for a moment, then secretly glanced at Su Chen. Seeing that Su Chen looked very serious and was not joking, she finally made her decision.

"In that case, Tang Yumo and I will go."

"We will complete the task, and we can stay in touch in real time, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

Su Chen hummed in agreement, then added, "You should also carefully select the people you want to avoid any conflicts."

After saying that, Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna's faces lit up again.

Because they were very clear that there would definitely be some debate when choosing other people. Su Chen knew that things were quite complicated and troublesome, so he preferred not to go. It was a job that required a lot of manpower and was thankless.

When Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna went to the restaurant, they discussed what to do to satisfy everyone.

Only a minority of people will go, and most people will stay. How can we ensure that everyone is willing and feels it is fair?

While the two of them were thinking, the others noticed them and stood up, all turning their gazes toward them.

Sensing the questioning gazes of the crowd, Tang Yumo revealed a sweet smile and said loudly to everyone, "No need to look anymore, Su Chen has already agreed, let's get ready and set off."

The crowd cheered and some even shouted, but then the scene suddenly fell silent.

Everyone realized that not everyone could go.

So who goes and who stays? This is a question worth pondering.

Everyone wanted to go; they were all experts in plants, and their abilities were roughly equal, with none willing to concede to the others.

Everyone knows this matter is extremely important, and naturally everyone wants to go, but there are too many people to allocate.

There was a vague sense of unease in everyone's hearts.

Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna also showed a hint of helplessness when they saw everyone's expressions.

Tang Yumo said bluntly, "We're leaving soon, but we can't have too many people going."

"Aside from some combat personnel, not many experts went; there were fifteen in total. How do you think we should choose the best ones?"

The group looked at each other and fell into deep thought.

Who is the right choice?
I feel that choosing myself is the most suitable option.

However, some people are self-aware and feel that their personality is not good enough or their talents are not as good as others, so they give up automatically.

Although they cannot go to the planet, they can keep an eye on everyone from another place and explore the planet with them.

However, most people were still not convinced by each other, and many had already started rolling up their sleeves, looking ready to fight.

Seeing their appearance, Tang Yumo couldn't help but shake her head, feeling a headache coming on.

He looked at Yuan Jingna with some helplessness, thinking that Yuan Jingna would definitely be able to come up with a suitable solution.

Yuan Jingna posed this question to everyone present.

Since neither of them is willing to concede to the other, then let them decide.

Ultimately, everyone decided to use research to determine who would explore the planet.

This research refers to the study of their discovery of this planet, with reptiles being the primary focus of the research.

Everyone has to write a research report, which will eventually be handed over to Su Chen and the rest of the group. Everyone will read it, and the fifteen best research reports will be kept.

These fifteen people followed Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna to explore the planet.

After the plan was finalized, everyone began writing their own reports.

Everyone was putting in their best effort, everyone stayed indoors, and they even stopped communicating, for fear that someone would steal their thoughts.

A few days later, the experts had finished writing their research reports.

Everyone was in high spirits and smiling as they approached Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna, and submitted their report under everyone's supervision.

Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna took a look first.

I am very satisfied with their reports; they are well-reasoned and supported by evidence, and each person's report is different.

This demonstrates everyone's insights in research.

This also proves that everyone really wants to participate in the research.

Tang Yumo packed up the report and then handed it to Su Chen.

Su Chen first looked at the report, which was very well written, and then he followed Tang Yumo to the conference room.

Inside the conference room, a large number of people had already gathered, all waiting for Su Chen.

Whose report is good and whose report is bad? In fact, many people find it difficult to tell.

Some people believe that what they write is unique and the best.

But in the eyes of others, it is utterly useless.

Therefore, we need to find a few influential people to take charge of this task.

Chief examiner Su Chen was naturally one of them.

He carefully reviewed everyone's reports, commenting and analyzing each one logically and with evidence, pointing out some errors and praising some strengths, leaving everyone speechless.

With this approach, everyone was relatively satisfied.

Ultimately, fifteen people were selected.

These fifteen people were very happy, while the others looked disappointed, and some even left in anger.

Although the others did not leave, they were in an exceptionally bad mood.

They hardly wanted to hear anything more.

However, Su Chen's words brought them back to reality, much to everyone's surprise.

Su Chen said calmly, "This time, Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna will be leading the team, so I won't be going."

Everyone looked at Su Chen with surprise; no one expected that Su Chen would actually give up.

This was completely unexpected and left everyone puzzled.

I don't understand why he didn't go.

Why did he just refuse to go when others wanted to but couldn't?

One of the experts, who greatly admired Su Chen, stood up and said, "How can you not go?"

"Once we get there, we'll have many things to ask you for advice. You're our pillar of strength; without you, I'm afraid..."

He didn't say anything more, but everyone knew what he was worried about.

Without Su Chen, their research would be impossible to progress.

Many people followed suit and hoped that Su Chen could go with them.

However, Su Chen firmly shook his head and said with a smile, "This many people are enough. It doesn't matter whether I'm there or not."

"Besides exploring, your most important task is to collect all the information about reptiles. Once you've collected it and brought it back, I can still study it when I return."

"Besides, we brought the equipment with us this time, so I can see your work on the screen."

Seeing that Su Chen was determined, no one pressed him further.

Then, preparations began.

There are many things to prepare; everyone needs to bring their own tools, instruments, and so on.

In addition, some soldiers will also be needed.

These soldiers are well-trained, armed, and ready for combat at any time; their mission this time is extremely important.

Su Chen and the others had already discussed it; since they were going, they definitely wanted to bring something back.

Although Su Chen was reluctant to conduct human experiments, he felt it was necessary to bring back the reptiles for research. (End of Chapter)
