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

After signing the agreement, both parties felt a little more relaxed, as they had a basic guarantee.

Even if the following two negotiations were unsuccessful, at least they reached an agreement on one.

At least they have an explanation.

When Wang Jianfeng was writing, he glanced at Tang Yumo, because Tang Yumo was essentially responsible for this matter, but now she was acting as if it was none of her business.

Wang Jianfeng was too embarrassed to contradict him, but when it came to making a crucial decision, he still needed to consider Tang Yumo's attitude.

Tang Yumo simply nodded slightly, meaning "whatever."

Wang Jianfeng immediately followed up with the next round of negotiations, which concerned technology. He very seriously told Wang Jianfeng, Tang Yumo, and Chen Anrong that their technology had achieved its current success only with the support of higher authorities.

Although they have made great contributions, we should not forget those who dug the well when we drink the water. They should support the higher authorities in transferring some of the technology to them for joint use.

We should learn to share.

For the sake of all humanity, they should have a spirit of sharing.

Certain technologies should not be monopolized.

After Old Chen finished speaking, Chen Anrong and the others fell silent.

Chen Anrong's expression was slightly better because he used to work there, so he was very familiar with the process and knew they would definitely say something.

Tang Yumo and Wang Jianfeng's expressions turned somewhat unpleasant.

While their work was indeed supported by higher authorities, the various technologies they developed were the result of their own hard work and had little to do with those above them.

Now, what Old Chen is saying is nothing more than labeling someone.

Wang Jianfeng smiled faintly, glanced at Tang Yumo, and said nothing.

He was too lazy to dwell on such things, but Tang Yumo was different.

He just wanted to challenge Old Chen and didn't want to see him suppress others in this way.

He slammed his hand on the table rather rudely, though the sound was soft, it clearly expressed his dissatisfaction.

"This is not a speech, and there are some things that don't need to be said here. Saying them would be of no use."

"These technologies are the result of researchers' hard work, who have spent countless days and nights researching them."

"It can be said that these technologies do not belong to any one person, but to the researchers who developed them."

“They have the right to own this technology, and we have no objection if they want it to be made public.”

Following Tang Yumo's words, Old Chen said, "You're right."

"If researchers are willing, we shouldn't stop them."

Tang Yumo gave a cold laugh, understanding Old Chen's thoughts.

He believed that the researchers would publish and share the technologies they developed, which is why he dared to say that.

But he forgot that what he was doing was disgusting, and not everyone would be willing to share their technology.

Even if you share it, it doesn't necessarily mean you have to share it with him.

Tang Yumo nodded without saying anything more.

The two sides have reached an agreement.

When researchers are aligned, technology can be shared.

Based on this point, Mr. Chen continued the discussion, but the negotiations did not go smoothly.

Whenever Old Chen presented a piece of technology he wanted, Wang Jianfeng would find various reasons to refuse the negotiation.
They talked until noon, but still got nowhere.

Just as Old Chen was about to continue speaking, Wang Jianfeng suddenly stood up and said, "It's getting late, let's go eat, and we can talk again after we finish eating."

Old Chen glanced at the time and did not object.

He thought he would discuss it with the people around him and try to come up with a way to get Wang Jianfeng and the others to compromise.

They ate at the same restaurant, but they weren't together.

Tang Yumo, Wang Jianfeng, and a few others were having dinner together.

Old Chen, on the other hand, ate with another group of people.

Everyone was discussing the content of the afternoon's negotiations.

Tang Yumo had lost interest in the matter. While eating, she casually said to Wang Jianfeng, "Try to resolve the negotiations this afternoon."

Wang Jianfeng nodded and asked Tang Yumo, "How do you think we should approach the remaining two negotiations? Should we take a tougher stance or soften our approach?"

Tang Yumo gave him a disgruntled look and said coldly, "How to decide? That depends on what their demands are."

"Give what you can give, and resolutely refuse to give what you cannot give. Do not give them any chance to have illusions."

Old Chen's topic was how to persuade Wang Jianfeng and Tang Yumo, and how to get them to agree.
Even after finishing their meal, Old Chen and his colleagues still hadn't come to a conclusion.

We'll continue the discussion this afternoon.

The atmosphere became noticeably more tense in the afternoon, with many people participating in the discussion, each side trying to gain something for themselves.

Ultimately, the project negotiations failed, but they didn't break off relations completely.

Old Chen didn't press the issue too much, feeling that the time wasn't right yet.

Their disagreement now doesn't mean they'll disagree in the future.

They can start by working on some projects that have already been agreed upon by both parties.

After the negotiations concluded, everyone prepared to leave.

Old Chen suddenly remembered some previous collaborations and asked Wang Jianfeng with a smile, "I'd like to have a private talk with you. Isn't Earth 2 going to collaborate with that group of wealthy people?"

Are these collaborations still valid? When will they continue?

Wang Jianfeng hadn't thought about this issue because they had a conflict with their superiors, so this cooperation had been temporarily suspended.

Now that Old Chen has brought up this matter again, Wang Jianfeng's interest has also been piqued.

He did want to make this happen, but things were different now than before.

He glanced at Tang Yumo with some concern, as if asking for her opinion.

After taking a sip of tea with her legs crossed, Tang Yumo walked out with her hands behind her back, saying as she went, "This is your Earth 2's business, it has nothing to do with me, why are you looking at me?"

Wang Jianfeng understood that Tang Yumo had entrusted this matter to him, but he was not sure what to do. He could only say that he would go back and think about it carefully and give him an answer in a few days.

After returning to his room, Chen Anrong followed him there.

The two talked about the collaboration regarding Earth 2.

Chen Anrong and Wang Jianfeng both agreed that the cooperation should continue.

This cooperation doesn't actually have much to do with the higher-ups, and given their current tense relationship with them, they really should seek some easing measures and cooperate with some people on Earth.

This would allow them to gain some support on Earth.

On the second day.

Old Chen came to see Wang Jianfeng again, this time alone.

Wang Jianfeng summoned Chen Anrong and other key members of the team, who had a separate collaborative project with Chen on Earth 2. There were no major disagreements between the two sides on this matter.

Old Chen didn't have many other thoughts on the matter; he simply hoped to facilitate cooperation.

Because this collaboration is also important for the planet.

Especially those people who had approached Old Chen repeatedly.

Under pressure, Mr. Chen had no choice but to find a way to help them complete this task.

Old Chen was very happy to see that Wang Jianfeng and the others were not hostile.

After finishing their business, Old Chen asked with a smile, "I heard that you have established space jump bases in many places in the universe. I've come all this way, could I experience it too?"

Wang Jianfeng immediately agreed.

Trying it out is fine, as long as it doesn't require any technical skills.

Old Chen was surprised that Wang Jianfeng agreed so readily; he had thought Wang Jianfeng would disagree.

He thought for a moment and then added, "I'm not going to experience it alone; I want to bring the group of experts along too."

Wang Jianfeng smiled and nodded again.

They understood what Elder Chen was thinking, so they took the group of experts on a visit, hoping they could see the intricacies firsthand and then establish their own space jump base upon returning home.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to develop space condition technology simply by looking at it and experiencing it a few times.

Wang Jianfeng is very confident about this.

The next day, he arranged for someone to personally take Old Chen and the others to experience the ability of spatial jumping.

They were originally on an insulated planet, but the next second they arrived on another planet and saw what it looked like.

However, they did not visit the planetary base.

Wang Jianfeng had informed the other planet in advance that Elder Chen and his group were not allowed to enter the base for a visit.

The only place they could visit was the space jump base.

This space jump base is actually quite large, but it doesn't have many facilities. Apart from a large space jump device, the rest is handled by soldiers.

After a brief visit, Chen and his group found nothing to see and used the space jump base to return to the insulated planet.

Upon their return, everyone was filled with emotion.

Mr. Chen asked the experts for their opinions on the control jump base, and the experts were all amazed and impressed.

Old Chen frowned as he listened. He didn't want to hear these sentiments; he wanted to hear what the experts thought about space jump technology and what their ideas were.
Can we develop it independently?
The experts don't have Su Chen's abilities. They can't even develop the outer metal protective material for a space jump base, let alone space jump technology.

This was like arriving at an alien technology for them.

They need to start with the basics when it comes to these things.

They don't even know what the very beginning was, so how could they possibly figure it out?
The experts apologized to Mr. Chen, explaining that they were powerless to help and that they simply did not understand the underlying principles.

Old Chen looked at the several space science experts with some frustration.

These space science experts have some understanding of this area, but they all shook their heads, indicating that they could not develop space jump technology.

For them, such things only exist in their minds or in novels.

Now that all the tasks have been completed, Mr. Chen still wants to stay a while longer.

He also wanted to talk to some experts at the base, hoping to persuade them to come back with him.

Unfortunately, Tang Yumo did not give him that chance.

Tang Yumo used the excuse that the planet needed to carry out secret work to directly notify Elder Chen and the others that they must return within three days.

If they do not return, they can only stay in their own residences for the time being and are not allowed to leave without his orders.

Upon hearing this, Old Chen immediately became unwilling and went to find Tang Yumo himself, but unfortunately he did not find her.

With no other option, Old Chen had to return with his men the following day.

After he left, Wang Jianfeng also left.

Chen Anrong stayed behind to continue working with Tang Yumo.

The infrastructure here is all complete, and construction will begin a few days later.

Su Chen has already given Tang Yumo the construction blueprints for the star-rated building.

If we build according to Su Chen's blueprints, and everyone is careful, there shouldn't be any problems.

Su Chen has already provided solutions to the core technical issues.

The remaining questions are left to the experts now.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, the massive interstellar warship is under steady construction.

According to Tang Yumo's initial calculations, it would take at least two years to complete the construction of this interstellar warship.

Because this interstellar warship is just too big, so big that it's like a small planet.

On this interstellar warship, they can do anything.

Because these interstellar warships are extremely large, they require an extraordinary amount of energy.

Several current power sources are suitable for this interstellar warship.

However, there are problems with energy storage.

They need a large space to store energy, which reduces the usable area of ​​the starship.

Tang Yumo is discussing with experts the search for new energy sources.

This type of energy must first be powerful, and secondly, it must be able to be compressed into a very small volume, making it more convenient to use and store, without taking up too much space.

In addition, they also need to conduct comprehensive development and research on the defense of interstellar warships.

Starships are so huge that they must house a lot of people. If a problem occurs and there are no other defenses, everyone on the starship could be in danger.

They must make multiple preparations regarding security issues.

For example, regarding the energy issue, if one of the energy sources becomes unusable, they cannot simply sit idly by and wait for their demise.

An alternative energy source must be used.

Therefore, this interstellar warship is composed of multiple energy sources, which requires a very good engine.

This engine is not just an engine in name only; it also has multiple capabilities and advantages.

Moreover, it's not just one engine, but many, including spares.

Even if the backup unit breaks down, they have other things to replace it.

Tang Yumo's requirements were very simple: the interstellar warship must have multiple defensive capabilities.

Even if the interior of this interstellar warship is breached, it must still have the ability to navigate and must have protective measures.

This presents a significant challenge for experts, who are conducting a wide range of conservation studies. (End of Chapter)
