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

“A group of strangers also arrived on the interstellar warship. I immediately had someone investigate their background, but we couldn’t find any information about them, so I started to have some doubts about the matter.”

"Then, I had someone investigate Chen Anrong's affairs in the Andromeda Galaxy in detail. We found that a starship had also appeared in the Andromeda Galaxy base. This starship did not belong to us, and the people on the starship did not belong to us either."

"So I discussed it with Yuan Jingna and we decided to leave him on the Andromeda Galaxy."

"As for this matter, it was an unexpected discovery."

"But what was his purpose in doing this?"

Tang Yumo asked the question.

Professor Wang said, "What else could it be for? He must have reached some kind of agreement with the higher-ups, which is why he did this."

Tang Yumo shook her head and said very firmly, "Impossible, I don't think he will cooperate with the higher-ups."

"He has already fallen out with the higher-ups, so there's not much point in cooperating with him anymore. Besides, he's a smart man; cooperating with us is better than cooperating with the higher-ups. There must be other factors involved."

"I'm more inclined to think it's another base, maybe an Antarctic base."

Professor Wang disagreed, shaking his head and saying, "Personally, I still think the one above is more likely."

"Now is not the time to discuss this issue. I am more worried about the situation at other bases."

"Similar situations may occur at other bases as well. The most important one is the Andromeda Galaxy. Right now, we don't have anyone in charge there. Once a problem arises, we simply can't control it."

Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna weren't in a hurry at all. Tang Yumo, in particular, said with a sneer and a hint of schadenfreude, "I actually hope he can do something, preferably announce that the base will belong to him personally. That way, I won't have to do anything or explain anything to anyone."

"It's really troublesome to have to explain this to certain people now."

He paused for a moment and then said, "Contact Wang Jianfeng. I think the problem is definitely bigger on Earth 2. Have him conduct a thorough investigation as well."

The professor nodded, agreeing that he should indeed conduct a thorough investigation.

Perhaps once the problem is identified, Wang Jianfeng will stop asking questions and figure it out himself.

They then contacted Wang Jianfeng.

When Wang Jianfeng heard that a large-scale investigation was to be carried out, he was slightly taken aback, and then said with a smile, "We have already investigated, and there are no problems."

Professor Wang glanced at Wang Jianfeng and coughed awkwardly.

He didn't believe Earth 2 was without problems; if an insulated planet had such an issue, how much more so Earth 2?

Something must have gone wrong in such a large area, and the investigation Wang Jianfeng described is definitely different from his own.

He asked Wang Jianfeng in detail how he conducted the investigation.

Wang Jianfeng briefly explained that because the Spring Festival was approaching and they were going to hold a gala, he had conducted a safety inspection of the entire base beforehand.

The main content of the safety inspection is the safety of various equipment and the various safety measures in the base, including food reserves, etc.

Professor Wang shook his head and said seriously, "Your investigation is not quite the same as our investigation. We mean that you should conduct an investigation of the entire Earth 2, and at the same time conduct a more rigorous security and confidentiality investigation of the base."

If it's just a safety check, it's the same as the one Wang Jianfeng checked before.

However, adding the word "confidential" changes the nature of the matter.

Wang Jianfeng frowned and said somewhat unhappily, "What exactly are you hiding from me?"

"Earth 2 belongs to us, not just me. I will obey your orders, but I hope you will not interfere with what I do."

"I've already said I've conducted an investigation, why are you still not satisfied?"

"If you don't trust me, you can come here and do the investigation yourself. I won't stop you."

Seeing that he was getting a little angry, Professor Wang stopped saying anything.

Tang Yumo, standing to the side, raised an eyebrow and said bluntly, "Just do the investigation as I told you. Why are you making such a fuss? We've already told you your investigation wasn't thorough enough. What else do you want us to say?"

"Are you trying to get us to tell you something you don't know? Sorry, we don't want to say anything right now."

"Just do as we say, and you might understand on your own without us having to tell you."

Helpless and angry, Wang Jianfeng hung up the phone and immediately called a meeting.

At the meeting, he asked everyone to conduct a comprehensive and detailed investigation of the entire Earth 2.

This investigation covers not only safety issues, but also a variety of other issues, such as water resources, marine issues, safety issues, food issues, and so on.

Not only that, but a comprehensive exploration of the entire Earth 2 will also be conducted.

This kind of exploration is equivalent to the exploration they conducted when they first arrived at Earth-2, exploring underground, oceans, unknown places, as well as known places and the sky.

Wang Jianfeng announced the decision in anger.

Everyone could sense that he was very angry, and no one knew why. Anyway, knowing that he was angry, everyone dared not be negligent in their work and became more cautious.

This investigation was remarkably swift and thorough, leaving virtually no area unchecked.

Because Earth 2 is so large, the time required to investigate it is also quite long.

It's impossible to finish the investigation in just one or two days.

Wang Jianfeng was angry, so he paid extra attention to this matter.

He wanted to see what Tang Yumo and the others could say if they couldn't find the problem.

In order to shut Tang Yumo and her group up, he also had the entire investigation recorded on audio and video. He planned to give all the recordings to Tang Yumo and her group to review themselves.

He can't be bothered to say a word to them now.

Two days have passed, and the investigation is progressing smoothly without any problems.

On the third day, Professor Wang became somewhat uneasy and contacted Wang Jianfeng directly.

Wang Jianfeng gave Professor Wang a disapproving look, his tone somewhat sarcastic: "Oh, isn't this Professor Wang? What brings you to contact me? Weren't you with Tang Yumo and the others? Do you have a mission to command me?"

Professor Wang blushed slightly and said with a smile, "Don't be angry. We really had no choice but to do this. You'll understand when the time comes."

After he finished speaking, he noticed that Wang Jianfeng's complexion had improved slightly, and cautiously asked, "Did you find anything during your investigation?"

Wang Jianfeng shook his head. "Nothing was found. What do you mean? Are you trying to tell me that Chen Anrong worked on Earth 2 for a long time, so maybe she'll do something shady here?"

Professor Wang nodded silently.

Wang Jianfeng was taken aback.

He was just saying it in anger, but he didn't expect Professor Wang to take it seriously.

He repeated what he had just said, and Professor Wang nodded very seriously as before. He immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and said in a cold voice, "Have you discovered something?" Professor Wang shook his head and remained silent.

Now is not the time to talk to Wang Jianfeng.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to speak, but rather that Tang Yumo hadn't given the order yet.

Now, Tang Yumo is in charge of all these matters, and he cannot disobey her orders, but he can still provide Wang Jianfeng with some information.

For example, the things he just hinted at were his hope that Wang Jianfeng would thoroughly investigate the matter and not act impulsively or deal with it casually.

Wang Jianfeng frowned and said, "I'm already investigating. The entire base has been checked to ensure there are no problems."

"As for the remaining area, it's too large, so we'll probably have to wait a few more days."

Upon hearing that there were no problems inside the base, Professor Wang felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

Is there really no problem?
If Chen Anrong had tampered with things, her first choice would undoubtedly be within the base.

He thought of the situation on insulated planets and couldn't help but remind him, "Have you explored the underground?"

"Underground?" Wang Jianfeng frowned. "The probe revealed no problems."

Professor Wang pressed further, asking how many meters the probe had reached.

Wang Jianfeng shook his head; he didn't ask about it.

Professor Wang said, "I advise you to use the most advanced instruments to explore the underground."

Wang Jianfeng nodded to indicate that he understood, and then he ordered his men to conduct a search of the underground area.

The search depth is 50,000 meters, which is the highest depth search instrument they currently have available.

We had conducted similar investigations before, but they weren't thorough enough.

The depth used back then was 5,000 meters, now it's 50,000 meters.

When we reached 50,000 meters, we finally made a discovery.

It was almost dawn, and Wang Jianfeng, still troubled, was reading in his room.

There was a sudden, urgent knocking on the door.

Upon opening the door, the exploration expert, his face grim, said, "Something's happened. We've discovered a secret underground gathering place during our exploration."

"Huh?" Wang Jianfeng exclaimed in surprise.

A secret base? How is that possible?
Earth 2 is under his control, and any base can only be built with his approval.

How could someone secretly build a base without your permission?

This is absolutely impossible.

Reflecting on the past, Wang Jianfeng couldn't help but wonder if it was built by Su Chen or Tang Yumo.

He quickly ruled out that possibility.

If it were them, they would definitely tell themselves that it's impossible to secretly build a secret base.

Isn't this just protecting oneself?

Perhaps they are just protecting themselves.

This thought involuntarily popped into Wang Jianfeng's mind, though of course, there was another thought as well.

This idea came to me immediately.

Upon arriving at the site, they discovered that this secret underground base was located at a depth of 40,000 meters, in a place that almost no one would have imagined.

This place is actually behind the academy, behind which are mountains and forests. There is a secret base at the foot of these mountains and forests. There is nothing special inside the base, just a bunch of random things and documents, none of which are very important. It's more like an abandoned factory.

Wang Jianfeng walked around the base with his hands behind his back. Although there was nothing particularly important inside, the fact that such a base had appeared gave him a real chill.

Remembering Professor Wang's earlier reminder, he frowned and fell into deep thought. It seemed that Tang Yumo and the others did have a reason for what they did.

Otherwise, why would such a secret base be discovered deep underground?

Could it really have been Chen Anrong who did it?
He couldn't think of any other possibility besides this one.

Back in his room, Wang Jianfeng couldn't fall asleep. He wanted to contact Professor Wang and the others, but it was already past midnight.

After enduring until around 8 a.m. the next morning, Wang Jianfeng immediately contacted Professor Wang and told him about the matter.

Professor Wang didn't say anything, seemingly unsurprised at all.

Wang Jianfeng dared to ask, "Did you also discover such a place on an insulated planet?"

Professor Wang remained silent, and Wang Jianfeng stopped asking. Feeling annoyed, he said, "Tell Tang Yumo and the others about this. I need to conduct another thorough investigation of Earth 2."

He had previously conducted investigations with a sense of urgency, but this time Wang Jianfeng was prepared to personally lead the investigation. He was genuinely uneasy if he didn't personally take charge.

Because some things were too alarming; someone was able to secretly build a base right under my nose without my knowledge.

Not only did they not know, but no one in the base knew either.

He also thought of the same question: who helped him build the base?
This "he" could be Chen Anrong, or it could be someone else.

But no matter who he is, how much power he has, or how he managed to gather a group of people and establish a secret base without anyone knowing, remains to be seen.

Moreover, once it was set up, no one knew about it.

What is the purpose of this secret base he established?

There's nothing important inside. Is it something we'll be doing later?

He brought in some experts to examine the secret base and determine when it was built.

What kind of equipment was used during construction?

How many people and how large an engineering project would it take to build such a base?

At the same time, Wang Jianfeng had someone investigate the people around them, including those within the university.

The group of people are not far away. Have they noticed anything?
The investigation was very simple and didn't uncover anything; everyone said they didn't know anything.

Wang Jianfeng believes that some people may know, but he doesn't want to say.

Experts quickly studied the secret base and produced their analysis. (End of Chapter)
