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

Tang Yumo didn't give Su Chen any chance to refute her. She simply waved her hand at him and walked away.

Those present glanced at Su Chen, their eyes filled with anticipation.

They also placed most of their hopes on Su Chen, because Su Chen was the most capable among them.

He was also one of the core members who built the Andromeda Galaxy base and knew all the secrets.

They didn't really care about the base; even if Chen Anrong took control of the entire base, it wouldn't be a loss for them.

The only thing that pained them was the space jump base they had built in the Andromeda Galaxy. This was their biggest worry, as it was terrifying that Chen Anrong had control of it.

Once he invites others to visit the space jump base, some people will steal their secrets, thus depriving them of their unique space jump technology.

This is a loss that is hard for them to accept.

Wang Jianfeng remained silent for a long time in the video, spending most of the time listening to everyone's opinions.

After seeing Tang Yumo leave, he calmed down slightly and thought for a moment before saying to Su Chen, "How about I go to the Andromeda Galaxy?"

Su Chen glanced at him but didn't say anything.

This is a matter for him to decide; Su Chen has no way to make a decision for him.

His relationship with Chen Anrong was a bit delicate. He didn't know what would happen if he went, but at least there wouldn't be any danger to his life.

Yuan Jingna asked him when he was going, and Wang Jianfeng said he would leave tomorrow.

Using space jump technology, it should be possible to arrive within a few days.

If all goes well, I should be able to come back before the Spring Festival.

Professor Wang advised him to bring more people in case anything unexpected happens.

Wang Jianfeng laughed heartily, a laugh tinged with confidence and a hint of self-deprecation.

"Don't worry, he wouldn't dare do anything to me. I can go by myself."

On this day, Wang Jianfeng explained some things about Earth 2, and then boarded an interstellar warship to head to the Andromeda Galaxy.

It was almost evening when they arrived in the Andromeda Galaxy, and Wang Jianfeng had already informed Chen Anrong in advance.

Chen Anrong was already aware of this, so Wang Jianfeng's entry into the base went very smoothly.

Chen Anrong brought a group of people to greet him, and when this group appeared in front of Wang Jianfeng, Wang Jianfeng's expression was rather unpleasant.

Because he didn't know more than half of the people in this group; they weren't from their base.

He didn't know where they came from, but he carefully observed the group of people in front of him, memorizing their appearances, intending to find out where they came from when he got back.

Chen Anrong seemed to have read his mind and smiled as he began to introduce him directly.

"These are some experts and staff I recruited from other places. If you want to know where they came from, I can tell you."

Wang Jianfeng smiled and nodded; he wouldn't be polite to Chen Anrong.

Since he put it that way, he was curious to hear where this group of people came from.

Chen Anrong briefly explained to Wang Jianfeng that this group of people came from various sources, including the Antarctic base, other Earth bases, and even some from above.

After listening, Wang Jianfeng was deeply moved, realizing that many people had provided him with assistance.

As Wang Jianfeng walked inside with his hands behind his back, he said with a smile, "I've never heard of you knowing this group of people."

Chen Anrong replied with a smile, "I just didn't tell you. I've known them for several years, but we weren't very familiar with each other back then. We've become quite close in recent years."

He paused for a moment at this point.

"You must have come here for something very important. If you want to chat, I don't have much time, because I have a lot to do."

Wang Jianfeng understood the meaning behind his words and said calmly, "It won't take up too much of your time. I just wanted to see the situation here, and then we can have a brief chat sometime."

"It's been a long time since I've had a heart-to-heart talk with you. Let's have a heart-to-heart talk, and you can tell me what you're thinking."

He glanced at the sky and saw that it was already late. "Let's go to a restaurant for dinner and watch the show while we eat."

Chen Anrong waved for the people around him to leave, and the two of them went to the restaurant as usual.

On the way, Wang Jianfeng surveyed his surroundings.

The situation at the base hasn't actually changed much. Although Wang Jianfeng has never been to this base, the bases they've established are basically the same, with no fundamental differences.

He observes people.

Among the crowd coming and going, Wang Jianfeng recognized some people, but he didn't recognize most of them.

He stroked his chin and asked curiously, "The people from the old base should still be here, right? You didn't lock them up, did you?"

He asked the question very directly.

At this moment, he had nothing to hide, and even less to hide from Chen Anrong.

Chen Anrong couldn't help but smile and said calmly, "Why would I imprison them? We're all colleagues."

“If they don’t cooperate, I’ll just let them go to where they need to rest, as long as they don’t bother me.”

"Take them back with you while you're here."

Wang Jianfeng hummed in agreement, but didn't say anything more.

The two arrived at the restaurant, where the staff prepared a sumptuous dinner for them.

The two sat facing each other. Chen Anrong had someone bring a bottle of red wine, opened it, and personally poured a glass for Wang Jianfeng, then poured one for himself.

She raised a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Thank you for taking care of me these past few years."

Wang Jianfeng also raised his glass.

The two exchanged a silent glance and drank a glass of wine.

Then, Chen Anrong poured him a second glass of wine, poured himself a glass, and raised it again.

"I'm sorry for what I did to you, please forgive me."

Wang Jianfeng nodded and clinked glasses with him again.

I thought there would be a third cup, but Chen Anrong didn't make any move.

He poured himself a glass and then ignored Wang Jianfeng.

Wang Jianfeng poured himself a glass, and while drinking, he asked with a smile, "I want to know why you suddenly changed your mind?"

Chen Anrong tilted his head slightly, seemingly lost in memories.

He didn't know when another idea came to him.

The precise dedication and action must have been a long time ago. That time, Wang Jianfeng sent him to work at another base. After he went to work at that base, he met some people, and these people talked to him for a long time and discussed some things with him.

From that time on, he changed. After returning to Earth 2, he secretly established a base, and the rest happened naturally.

Chen Anrong couldn't say what exactly changed his heart.

He gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"Maybe someone like me is destined to do something like this, just like Tang Yumo was wary of. He always seemed to dislike me and thought there was something wrong with me. Maybe that's just who I am at heart."

"It might also be related to my previous job."

He paused for a moment, then said, "I originally set up those secret bases with the intention of doing something in the future, but I didn't expect you to discover them so quickly."

"Now that we've discovered them, those places are useless, so you don't need to worry too much."

Wang Jianfeng nodded silently, though he didn't disbelieve Chen Anrong's words.

If he is capable of betrayal, how can anyone believe what he says?
"What are you planning to do next?" Wang Jianfeng asked, taking a sip of his drink.

Chen Anrong straightened his back and answered seriously, "Now that Su Chen has handed this base over to me for management, I will have to manage it well from now on. In addition, I also plan to build other bases around it."

"Construction has already begun, and it is estimated that several new bases will be completed after the Spring Festival. These new bases will form a matrix base, which will greatly increase the defensive capabilities."

Wang Jianfeng remained silent. His eagerness to establish a base and set up defenses suggested he must have some concerns.
Wang Jianfeng couldn't help but laugh; his worries were completely unnecessary.

If they want to take back the base, it's actually quite simple.

They have so many interstellar ships and so many weapons that they could easily destroy the base, but they don't want to do that.

The base was never the most important thing to them, because they could set up a base anytime, anywhere.

His main purpose in coming here this time was to discuss the space jump base.

He hoped that Chen Anrong would not interfere.

He couldn't control other things, but on this matter, he hoped Chen Anrong could give him face and leave him a chance to survive.

If you go too far, there will be no room for maneuver later.

He tentatively asked, "We don't really care about the base itself, but we're more concerned about the space jump base in the Andromeda Galaxy. What are your thoughts on that?"

Chen Anrong raised an eyebrow slightly; this was the most difficult part for him.

He also coveted the space jump base and wanted to possess it.

However, he was very clear that if he got his hands on such a thing, the danger would be too great.

Not only will they have to face the wrath of Su Chen and his group, but the people from other bases will also absolutely not sit idly by.

They absolutely must get a share of the spoils; if they aren't given one, they might turn against us.

Therefore, he personally does not want to control the space jump base.

But it's not good if he doesn't control himself.

This time he received a lot of support, one of whose conditions was that he obtain the space jump base in the Andromeda Galaxy.

"You should know very well that I can't make the decision on this matter. I'm not particularly interested in the space jump base, but others are, so I'm afraid you won't be able to take the space jump base back from the Andromeda Galaxy."

Wang Jianfeng's face darkened, and he stared at him coldly, saying seriously, "Chen Anrong, you've suffered a lot with me and helped me a lot."

"I came to see you this time to advise you not to go down a dead end."

"Take the base if you want, I won't interfere, but I can't guarantee that Tang Yumo won't interfere."

"But if you dare to touch the space jump base, you will suffer the consequences."

"You should know that Su Chen has mastered all the core machines, making it far too easy for him to deal with you."

“If he just opens his mouth, no one else will help you anymore. The reason they help you is because Su Chen is not willing to do anything for them.”

“But as long as Su Chen speaks up, they have to agree even if they don’t want to. That’s the difference between you and him. Don’t anger us.”

After saying that, Wang Jianfeng took another sip of wine and sighed with a hint of helplessness.

"I originally thought you would have a better future, but you've gone downhill. Maybe I should have listened to Tang Yumo's advice and not let you come with me or come here. Now I've only hurt you. I hope you won't regret what you've done."

Chen Anrong smiled leisurely, took a sip of wine, and said, "Since I dared to do it, I won't regret it."

Even if I fail, I can accept the result.

"I have made myself very clear about the space jump base. If you are capable, then take it back. I will try my best not to interfere."

"But I also have my own pressures, so don't expect me to do anything."

Wang Jianfeng nodded and asked about the current situation of the space jump base.

Chen Anrong gave him a brief explanation.

Space jumps are proceeding as usual, with nothing particularly unusual.

Since Chen Anrong didn't tamper with the airdrop bases, and what he did didn't affect them, as long as Wang Jianfeng can get to those airdrop bases now and give them new orders so they no longer accept Chen Anrong's commands, there won't be any problems.

Wang Jianfeng's eyes lit up. In that case, he could visit those space jump bases on his way back and give them new orders to maintain their independence from now on.

Aside from Su Chen's orders, he will not accept any other orders or allow anyone to enter.

Just as he was pondering, Chen Anrong suddenly poured cold water on his thoughts.

"Don't be too happy yet. Although I didn't interfere, others may have."

"Take the higher-ups for example. You should be very aware that they have planted quite a few people in your area over the years, including people at the space jump base."

"Perhaps by this time, some space jump bases have already been taken over by them."

"The reason you can use it is simply because they don't want to completely provoke you, or rather, they don't want to fall out with you yet. But I feel it's unlikely that you can control all the space jump bases."

Wang Jianfeng raised an eyebrow, said nothing more, and asked as he got up if the liaison room was available.

He wanted to contact Tang Yumo and the others to talk to them about the space jump base.

Chen Anrong shrugged and asked jokingly, "Can I come with you?"

Wang Jianfeng nodded silently.

Afterwards, the two went to the liaison room and contacted Tang Yumo and a few others.

Seeing Wang Jianfeng and Chen Anrong sitting together, Tang Yumo rolled her eyes in annoyance.

The others remained calm, as if they hadn't even seen Chen Anrong. (End of Chapter)
