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

Mr. Chen couldn't understand what was going on, so he called in the experts to ask them for the reason.

The experts, one by one, hung their heads and explained the reason to Old Chen.

Simply put, their network infrastructure is somewhat inferior to that of the space base.

Their skill level was higher, so their attacks were ineffective and instead angered the other side, ultimately leading to a counterattack.

The other side did not launch a major attack and maintained some control, only issuing a warning, so they did not suffer any losses.

At this moment, Old Chen finally understood why Chen Anrong was willing to hand over these network management rights to him; it turned out she was waiting for him to do this.

He was furious but helpless. He couldn't very well go to Chen Anrong for justice and ask her to help resolve the matter; that would make them seem incompetent.

It makes people think they can't do anything.

Suppressing his anger, Old Chen sneered repeatedly and nodded viciously.

"Alright, alright, I didn't expect to be tricked by a little girl."

After resolving the network issue, Chen Anrong began researching weapons.

He valued this matter most, knowing that he had to perform well this time, work hard, and strive to develop several weapons that surpassed existing modern weapons.

Otherwise, his research would not be considered a success.

The Nine Heavens Starship is the most powerful starship they have researched so far, and it is already the most advanced in all other aspects.

If there's a problem with the weapons, then he will definitely have to take responsibility.

But experts can't think of any new weapons right now; they've already developed a lot of large-scale weapons.

If we ask experts to come up with a solution, it will be difficult to implement it in the short term.

Chen Anrong also knew that this was not a problem with the experts; every weapon requires a long period of research and cannot be developed in a short time.

Of course, they are also researching some, but these weapons are still in the research stage, and whether they can be developed is unknown.

Several experts have some knowledge of the Antarctic base and are aware of their frozen star-shaped armor.

Therefore, they wanted to research a weapon similar to freezing, the advantage of which was that it could control the opponent.
The primary objective was not to attack.

After trying it several times, the effect was not very obvious.

Although it can freeze some objects for a short time, the effect is not good.

Furthermore, they conducted numerous experiments and discovered that these frozen objects could break through at extremely high speeds in the face of immense force.

Especially after being attacked, these ice blocks will disintegrate, unlike the ice blocks at the Antarctic base.

In addition, experts are also researching a type of sonic attack.

In fact, their sonic attacks are already quite advanced, and experts have tried to make breakthroughs, but to no avail.

In addition, they also studied a very common hypersonic missile.

This hypersonic missile is extremely fast and has a very strong attack power, but it is still inferior to the powerful weapons they currently possess.

They also want to optimize and make breakthroughs.

Chen Anrong felt that it was unlikely that she could achieve much in weapons research on her own, so she approached Wang Jianfeng.

She talked to Wang Jianfeng, hoping he could provide assistance.

After hearing this, Wang Jianfeng couldn't help but laugh and shook his head as he told him.

"You shouldn't come to me about this; you should go to Su Chen."

Chen Anrong frowned slightly. He wanted to find Su Chen, but Su Chen wasn't so easy to see.

He also had no right to go to Su Chen.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Wang Jianfeng continued, "What I mean is that you should go find Tang Yumo and have a good talk with her."

"He assigned this task to you because he hoped you could work with the experts to conduct the research."

"But he also knows very well that you can't do it alone, and you definitely need to find Su Chen."

Chen Anrong touched her chin, looking somewhat reluctant.

He preferred to rely on himself, or rather, on Wang Jianfeng. Once he went to Tang Yumo or Su Chen, it would have nothing to do with him anymore.

Wang Jianfeng saw through his thoughts and said with a smile, "I know you really want to prove yourself."

"However... it depends on the situation. Sometimes you can prove yourself, and sometimes you don't."

"We must prioritize the overall situation. Whether it's Tang Yumo, Su Chen, or you and me, our goal is to make the Nine Heavens Starship the strongest warship, not for you to achieve anything personally in this matter."

"You need to understand this. Tang Yumo has done so much, and the reason he was willing to let you be the manager of weapons research is precisely because he never thought of fighting for anything for himself."

"You should learn properly from him."

Chen Anrong suddenly realized and nodded vigorously.

A few days later, he came to find Tang Yumo and reported the current problems and situation to her.

Tang Yumo tapped the table lightly, pondered for a moment, then looked at him with a smile and asked, "In your judgment, how much longer will it take them to develop a new type of weapon?"

Chen Anrong replied seriously, "With their capabilities, it will probably take a long time."

"There probably won't be much progress in the short term. I came to you to see if you have any ideas."

Tang Yumo shook his head; he didn't have any good ideas either.

He knew Chen Anrong's purpose, of course. After thinking for a moment, he frowned and said, "Su Chen is busy researching other things, and I don't want to bother him for the time being."

“We also have quite a few weapons experts here. You should have talked to Wang Jianfeng, right? Ask him to transfer some weapons experts over, and then we can work together to try to develop some good weapons.”

"As for Su Chen, there's no need to contact him, because he'll definitely do his research, so we don't need to tell him at all."

Chen Anrong nodded and contacted Wang Jianfeng again.

This time, Wang Jianfeng had no objections and quickly transferred a group of weapons experts over.

With everyone's joint efforts, they did develop several weapons, but the results were not particularly ideal.

Although they could be used on the Nine Heavens Starship, Tang Yumo, Chen Anrong, and Wang Jianfeng were not very satisfied, believing that these weapons were too rudimentary.

In fact, these weapons are already very powerful; if placed in any base, they would be absolutely dominant.

But in their eyes, this was not enough.

They need a weapon that will catch their eye, not one they're already used to seeing.

Old Chen recently heard that they had developed several weapons, and he was extremely interested in them.

Although Wang Jianfeng and his group looked down on them, Old Chen thought these weapons were extremely powerful.

He was also thinking about how to obtain the manufacturing technology for these weapons.

He first sent people to communicate with the weapons experts, hoping to obtain technology from them, and even wanted to bring the weapons experts back.

Unfortunately, none of them succeeded.

This really worried Old Chen.

These equipment are crucial to them.

They must have the appropriate weapons.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to suppress Su Chen and his group.

He was even more unhappy after learning that Su Chen and others were researching a super-large interstellar warship.

Why didn't they study this before?

Su Chen had previously researched a starship for them. Although it was quite good, why did Su Chen and his team start researching it again after they separated, and why did they want to research an even more powerful one?

Was this targeting him? Old Chen closed his eyes and pondered for a long time in his office before slowly getting up and going to the liaison room to contact Su Chen directly.

He thought Su Chen might refuse, but to his surprise, Su Chen actually met with him this time.

He was very surprised.

Su Chen looked slightly tired, nodded to Old Chen, and yawned.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"I plan to go back to Earth after a while."

Upon hearing that Su Chen was returning to Earth, Old Chen felt a sudden pang in his heart, sensing that something was amiss.

He didn't know why Su Chen wanted to go back to Earth, and glanced at him in surprise, hesitating to speak.

Su Chen repeated it again.

"Can I go back? I'll do as you say."

Old Chen forced a smile. "Of course you can go back. Earth is your home. You can come back whenever you want. No one can interfere with you."

"I heard that you've been researching a lot of new things recently, including quite a few weapons and a super interstellar warship."

"Can you share these things with us? We're all working to resist aliens and explore the universe, so you can't keep them to yourself."

Su Chen smiled and gave him a few perfunctory replies.

He didn't dwell on the matter. Since Old Chen agreed to let him go back, he planned to go back and do a few things.

My first thought is to go back and rest.

Secondly, I need to go and see Mr. Li.

Although Old Chen repeatedly said that Old Li was fine and had already retired, Su Chen still wanted to visit him in person and also to find out about his current situation.

Most importantly, he plans to bring a group of experts from Earth to help him with his work.

This group of experts will not go to Earth 2, nor will they work in the Milky Way; instead, they will go directly to the Andromeda Galaxy.

At this point, Old Chen asked him why he wanted to go back to Earth.

Unless something extraordinary happens, Su Chen wouldn't come back from so far away.

Su Chen explained the reason with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Old Chen's brows furrowed instantly, and his displeasure was very obvious.

Su Chen taking experts away from Earth is tantamount to them losing talent, isn't it?
Isn't this just undermining them?
They finally managed to gather a group of experts, and Su Chen will definitely take a bunch of them with him when he returns.

Mr. Chen knew these experts quite well.

People don't value rights that much; with very few exceptions, most people value their work environment and research more.

Su Chen can bring them environmental benefits.

As for research, there's no need to mention it when it comes to following Su Chen.

Every expert would want to work with Su Chen, because following him would not only allow them to learn new things and broaden their horizons, but also allow them to study alongside more capable experts.

This is an irresistible temptation for most people.

If Su Chen were to ask just one question, many experts would surely be willing to follow him.

This is something Old Chen doesn't want to see.

He coughed slightly, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"How many experts are you taking with you? If you're taking a few, I can arrange it for you directly, and you won't need to come back."

"If you take too much with you, that might not be a good idea; it could affect us."

Su Chen knew that Old Chen would have such thoughts, and explained with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't accept any experts who join your side."

"Now you don't have to worry anymore."

Old Chen frowned, still unwilling to budge.

The experts they carefully cultivate, even if they don't work here now, might come to work here in the future.

Even if they don't come to work here, as long as they stay on Earth, they can contribute to the planet in the future.

But if I go with Su Chen, that's uncertain.

He wants to keep all the talented people on Earth and doesn't want them to contribute to others.

They didn't want them to contribute to Su Chen's cause.

Seeing that Old Chen remained silent, Su Chen had no choice but to resort to his trump card.

"If you don't agree, then I won't go back. I'll recruit directly online. Those who want to come can come, and those who don't can forget about it."

Upon hearing this, Old Chen's eyebrows nearly flew off.

If Su Chen were to recruit online, it might attract even more people.

He meant to say that he wouldn't let you post anything online, but then he suddenly realized that they had very little control over the internet.

Su Chen can do anything online if he wants.

Using this to threaten Su Chen is completely ineffective.

He also considered directly controlling various airports on Earth to make it difficult for this group of people to enter the Milky Way galaxy.

However, this kind of thing is very difficult to do.

There are many forces on Earth, and these forces have established bases throughout the universe.

They need to transport supplies and get people over there.

It's impossible for Elder Chen to control all the interstellar warships.

Some people could simply travel to other bases on other starships and then use other methods to get to Su Chen's location.

After thinking it over, he felt it would be better to have Su Chen come back.

At least, he could see Su Chen.

At the very least, he knew what kind of people Su Chen had recruited.

If someone absolutely needs to stay, he can simply detain them.

If Su Chen takes too many people with him, he can find ways to reduce the number.

But if Su Chen doesn't come back, then the space he controls will be much larger.

Finally, Old Chen reluctantly agreed and asked when Su Chen would return.
Su Chen gave an exact time.

"I will return to Earth on the 1st of next month."

Within this month, Su Chen began to arrange several things.

First, it's about his side of the matter.

A suitable planet has still not been found.

He gave Yuan Jingna a task; he now has two main tasks.

The first task is to study the tasks assigned to him beforehand, and the second is to find a suitable planet to establish a base as soon as possible.

In this way, they wouldn't have to keep drifting in the Andromeda Galaxy.

In addition, Su Chen contacted Wang Jianfeng and others to explain the situation. (End of Chapter)
