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

After finishing his notes, he glanced cautiously at Su Chen and asked, still lacking confidence, "What if I can't figure it out?"

Su Chen shrugged and smiled indifferently.

"If we can't figure it out, we can't figure it out. Failure is a common occurrence anyway."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Tang Yumo and her team have so many experts; they'll surely come up with other solutions."

Yuan Jingna pouted and reluctantly agreed.

Back in the lab, he called in experts to continue the research with everyone.

After sharing Su Chen's ideas with everyone, their inspiration began to grow.

Following Su Chen's three lines of thought, they conducted research in three different directions.

Soon, they achieved some research results.

Although it cannot yet be used on warships, this is already a huge breakthrough for everyone.

With this breakthrough, they are even more confident that they can complete the task assigned by Su Chen.

Tang Yumo was also busy.

this day.

Chen Anrong suddenly rushed over to find him.

Seeing him jog up to her, Tang Yumo knew something was up, and it certainly wasn't about the Nine Heavens Starship.

Because he's right here on the Nine Heavens Starship, he'll definitely know if something happens here.

It is by no means a matter concerning the planetary base.

Then it must be that something's going on up there again.

As expected, Chen Anrong wiped the sweat from her forehead, gave Tang Yumo a wry smile, and winked at her, as if to say, "Come out with me."

Once the two were outside, Chen Anrong sighed and frowned, saying, "I was contacted by my superiors just now. They said they want to build a space jump base on Earth 2."

Tang Yumo glanced at Chen Anrong with a hint of displeasure and gave a soft, cold snort.

"Do I really need to be asked this kind of thing?"

"Don't you know what to do?"

Chen Anrong said with a wry smile, "Of course I know, but this time the higher-ups have a new bargaining chip."

"Hmm..." Tang Yumo exclaimed in surprise, staring at him in disbelief, wondering what tricks the higher-ups were up to now.

Chen Anrong whispered, "They discovered a very powerful metal with extremely strong adsorption and repair capabilities."

"And it seems there are some other special characteristics, I'm not sure exactly, but they want to use these things in exchange for the establishment of the space jump base."

"They don't want the technology, they just want to build a space jump base."

With her hands behind her back, Tang Yumo walked forward, pondering as she said, "Didn't they ask Wang Jianfeng? Did you talk to Wang Jianfeng?"

Chen Anrong shook her head. "As soon as I learned about this, I reported it to you. Wang Jianfeng doesn't know about it yet."

Tang Yumo stroked her chin, quite satisfied with Chen Anrong's actions.

Then, he suddenly stopped and looked up at the dark sky.

"That's strange. They should have greeted Wang Jianfeng first. Why are they asking us first?"

Chen Anrong understood the superior's thoughts and said softly, "It's probably because you're here."

“If you agree, Su Chen won’t object, and Wang Jianfeng naturally won’t object either.”

Tang Yumo chuckled and said with a sneer, "They're thinking way too simply."

“Even if I agree, Wang Jianfeng might not agree. If any one of us disagrees, this matter will not be able to work.”

After they finished speaking, the two went to the liaison room and contacted Wang Jianfeng directly.

Wang Jianfeng was already asleep when he heard that someone needed to contact him urgently. He got out of bed and hurriedly came to the liaison room, still wearing a military green overcoat.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem with the interstellar warship?" Wang Jianfeng asked.

Chen Anrong and Tang Yumo shook their heads at the same time.

Tang Yumo glanced at Chen Anrong indifferently, signaling him to speak, and then he leaned back in his chair to rest.

Chen Anrong recounted the events to Wang Jianfeng, who, like Tang Yumo, frowned and let out a series of cold laughs after listening.

The idea of ​​exchanging them for a metal is a bit of a stretch.

They've seen everything, so even if something is extremely important, they might not necessarily value it.

However, Wang Jianfeng rubbed his hands together, showing great interest in the thing. He wanted to see just how useful it was.

Tang Yumo's thoughts were exactly the same as Wang Jianfeng's; the two exchanged a glance and immediately understood each other's intentions.

Wang Jianfeng asked again, "Why don't we invite Old Chen up here and have a chat with him to see what he's talking about?"

Tang Yumo smiled and nodded.

They then contacted Mr. Chen.

Old Chen was waiting for them.

Upon learning that they had contacted him, he immediately went to the liaison office.

After the two sides met, Old Chen didn't waste any words and directly placed the items in front of them.

This is a stone-like substance with tiny sparkles of starlight on it, making it look very unique.

Immediately afterwards, an expert behind him reported the properties of the metal to Tang Yumo and the others.

This metal is indeed very powerful, but for Tang Yumo and the others...

It's not of any use at the moment.

Of course.

Having such a metal must have its unique advantages.

If we can make good use of it, it will definitely impress people.

However, compared to space jump technology, it's nothing.

Seeing that the group didn't react much, Old Chen smiled and continued, "If you're not willing to cooperate with us, then we'll have to choose someone else."

Wang Jianfeng raised an eyebrow and deliberately asked, "I wonder who you will choose, and who else has the ability?"

Old Chen laughed and said four words.

Antarctic base.

This name was not unfamiliar to Tang Yumo and the others.

Several years ago, they had a lot of cooperation with the Antarctic base, and even now they still have some cooperation in technology.

Antarctic bases are also very powerful bases, possessing their own unique technologies. For example, cryogenic technology is their core technology, and it's incredibly formidable.

Freezing technology can be used to create frozen interstellar warships, which possess powerful repair and defense capabilities.

When Tang Yumo heard that Old Chen wanted to seek cooperation, and even wanted to cooperate with the South Street base, she sneered inwardly.

He knew that Old Chen's words had a threatening connotation.

He thought about it carefully and decided that he should tell Su Chen about the properties of this metal and see what Su Chen thought about it.

He asked Old Chen to wait a moment, then contacted him directly, and they immediately contacted Su Chen.

After Su Chen appeared on the video, he noticed that several people seemed slightly surprised.

After greeting everyone, the first thing he asked was about the Nine Heavens Starship.

Aside from this matter, he doesn't seem to care much about anything else.

Chen Anrong and the others each took charge of a section and reported their current progress to Su Chen.

Wang Jianfeng also reported on the situation of Earth 2.

After saying that, Wang Jianfeng immediately repeated what Old Chen had just said, and then pulled up the data on that metal.

Su Chen glanced at it, lost interest, yawned, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Tang Yumo asked with a grin, "What do you think of this? If necessary, we could actually cooperate with them."

"Anyway, it's just about building a space jump base on Earth 2. We already have a base there, so building another one won't hurt."

Su Chen shook his head and replied nonchalantly, "It's nothing important. If they want to cooperate with the Antarctic base, then let them cooperate. I actually think it's a better thing for them to cooperate."

"These people are all too cunning. Let them scheme against each other. We just need to do our jobs well."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly asked, "Have you been exploring other planets recently?"

The crowd shook their heads.

Chen Anrong hesitated for a moment and said, "I was planning to conduct an exploration with some experts some time ago, but we didn't do it because the base planet is short-handed right now."

"Do you want us to go and explore it?"

Chen Anrong thought that if Su Chen agreed, then he could do it.

Su Chen shook his head and said very seriously, "We have already established quite a few planetary bases in the Milky Way galaxy, there is no need to build any more."

"What I mean is that you have time to explore the planets in the Milky Way galaxy, but there is no need to build any more bases."

Chen Anrong was extremely disappointed, which was exactly the opposite of what he had expected.

People didn't quite understand what Su Chen was thinking, but they also understood it somewhat.

Since Su Chen has now gone to the Andromeda Galaxy, he may be establishing more bases there.

Since we're going to build it over there, we definitely don't need it here anymore, and the Milky Way already has many bases.

Not only them, but also many other large bases were seen.

There are at least several hundred, if not a thousand, bases in total.

These bases were all built by humans, although they are currently embroiled in various conflicts and intrigues.

However, when faced with alien invasion, they were able to unite and defend against it.

Moreover, all the bases they have established so far can form a complete matrix defense network, supporting and relying on each other.

"Is there anything else?" Su Chen asked, seemingly about to leave.

Wang Jianfeng was fine, and Tang Yumo was fine too.

Chen Anrong had quite a few things to do, but they were all very tedious and trivial matters.

He also knew that he couldn't trouble Su Chen with these matters.

Just as Su Chen was about to log off, Chen Anrong suddenly said, "Why don't you chat with Old Chen some more?"

Su Chen and the other two focused their attention on Chen Anrong, wondering why he suddenly said that. Did he receive some benefits from Old Chen?
Seeing everyone staring at her like that, Chen Anrong panicked a little and quickly shook her head to show that she hadn't done anything wrong. Then she explained, "I think we shouldn't let our relationship with Old Master Chen get too strained."

Su Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I don't need to talk to him. If I do, it will probably only make things worse."

After Su Chen logged off, Wang Jianfeng criticized Chen Anrong in front of Tang Yumo, saying that he shouldn't have said those words, that he forgot his identity and where he was.

After a while, Wang Jianfeng contacted Chen Lao again and refused his request in front of him.

Old Chen's face was very grim. He sighed and said, "Since you are unwilling, then I have no choice but to cooperate with others."

Tang Yumo said coldly, "Whatever," and silently closed her eyes.

Wang Jianfeng remained silent. Chen Anrong had just been reprimanded by Wang Jianfeng and now wanted to ease the tension, but she was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so she didn't dare to say anything.

Besides, Wang Jianfeng and Tang Yumo are both here now, so even if he were to speak, it wouldn't be his turn.

The atmosphere became very awkward, and in the end, Mr. Chen left on his own.

Tang Yumo and Wang Jianfeng had another chat, discussing some issues before returning to their respective work.

Wang Jianfeng's workload has always been very heavy.

Besides managing Earth 2, there are other things he needs to handle.

Although he wasn't needed on the isolated planet, Wang Jianfeng still wanted to help Tang Yumo with some things, so he had been having people mine resources from various planets to provide for Tang Yumo as much as possible.

Meanwhile, his collaborations with those wealthy businessmen were also unfolding rapidly, with some already on track.

In addition, they also started tourism on Earth 2.

The tourism industry was suspended for a while due to strained relations with higher authorities, but it has now resumed.

Many tourists often visit Earth 2. Although these people don't cause Tang Yumo any trouble, sometimes some of them still cause some annoying things.

In order to avoid affecting the entire Earth 2, Wang Jianfeng sometimes had to deal with some problems.

this day.

A group of tourists got into a dispute over a trivial matter. The staff could have handled it, but a few of them insisted that Wang Jianfeng come and resolve the issue.

Wang Jianfeng happened to be inspecting the tourism area and witnessed this scene, so he personally stepped in to resolve it.

I thought the matter was over, but who would have thought that after these people returned to Earth, they would take a certain part of the video out of context and post it on the internet.

They say that Wang Jianfeng and his business owners bully customers because of their size, disrespect them, and treat them harshly.

Various opinions have been circulating, which has greatly affected the image of Earth 2.

Because Wang Jianfeng is no longer on Earth and has had a less than pleasant falling out with those above, his control over this matter has diminished considerably.

In the past, if similar public opinion arose, he could resolve it with just one phone call.

But this time it was different.

After he made the call, the person on the other end made various excuses, saying they would help him resolve the issue, but no action was taken. (End of Chapter)
