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

One of the experts, clearly unconvinced, strode up to Yuan Jingna with his head held high and a sneer on his face.

"Really? I just don't believe it."

"Since you figured it out so long ago, you must have some relevant data, right? Could you pull it up and show it to everyone?"

Yuan Jingna turned her head to look at Su Chen; of course, Su Chen's consent was needed for this kind of thing.

But to others, Yuan Jingna seemed to be asking Su Chen for help.

Some people have already started to mock them.

"Boasting will get you exposed eventually. Now let's see what you're going to do."

"How embarrassing, aren't you? You can't show it now, can you?"

Su Chen nodded slightly, and Yuan Jingna coughed, interrupting the discussion.

"Since you have this request, I certainly have no objection."

The group then went to the liaison room.

Yuan Jingna asked Wang Jianfeng for information on several research subjects.

When the documents were sent over and placed in front of everyone, everyone was stunned.

The evidence was laid bare before them, leaving them no choice but to believe it.

The photos show what I'm researching.

Several documents contained relevant data.

These data are sufficient to prove that Yuan Jingna did not lie, and they also demonstrate that their research is superior to that of others.

Since the data speaks for itself, everyone had mixed feelings.

The experts, in particular, knew they were lagging behind Su Chen and his team, but they didn't expect the gap to be this large.

The only saving grace is that not everything is lagging behind.

Over the next few days, Su Chen and his team focused on research and development products.

Su Chen generously told them about the advantages and disadvantages of these products, as well as some ways to make changes.

Whether these people will listen or not is their business.

More than ten days passed, and one day during a meal, Su Chen once again brought up leaving.

This time there was no reason left. Old Chen reluctantly grabbed Su Chen's hand, trying to persuade him to stay.

Su Chen had made up his mind; this time, he had no choice but to go back.

The talks have ended, and the two unresolved issues have not been discussed further for the time being.

There's nothing else to do, so what's the point of staying here?

Su Chen was leaving, and the other people from the base also expressed their intention to return.

Old Chen did not try to persuade him to stay.

On this day, people began to leave one after another. Su Chen and his group left in the afternoon aboard an interstellar warship.

The once bustling Jiutianxing returned to its usual tranquility. Old Chen called Professor Li and the others together for a meeting.

The main topic of the meeting was how to accelerate their research and how to surpass Su Chen and his team.

At the same time, Mr. Chen also inquired about the gains from this meeting.

Su Chen and the others shared a lot of information; they should have gained something from it.

Especially on several important topics.

Professor Li stated that he had gained a lot from his discussions with Su Chen, and he plans to start working on it tomorrow, striving to advance several important research projects as quickly as possible.

Old Chen was overjoyed and clapped his hands, saying, "Great, great, great! I'll be waiting for your good news."

"During this period, you can report anything to me directly, and I will give you the greatest support."

Su Chen and Yuan Jingna returned to Earth 2 aboard the interstellar warship. With the Spring Festival approaching, they planned to spend the holiday on Earth 2.

On their way back, they will pass through many places.

Some of these bases belong to them, while others belong to other people.

Because the laws governing space travel are now officially in effect, their travel routes need to be reported.

After they reported their arrival, people from other bases knew they would be passing through their area. This group then planned to stop Su Chen and his group, have them stay at their base for a while, and help them resolve some issues.

As Su Chen and his group passed by a planet, several interstellar warships blocked their way.

They were very polite during the call, expressing their hope that Su Chen and his group could visit the base.

Su Chen said he had something to do and wouldn't be going for the time being, but they wouldn't let him go no matter what they said.

Due to the current laws and regulations of the universe, Su Chen and his group had no choice but to visit their place.

Because if you don't go to visit them, they won't let you leave.

The area around the planetary base is basically controlled by the base itself; it's their navigation route, and without their permission, you can only detour.

Taking a detour would mean going to remote areas, or even traveling on unfamiliar routes, which could be dangerous.

Su Chen and his group were not afraid, but they did not want to make things too ugly.

Ultimately, they stayed at the base for two days.

Of course, they couldn't leave empty-handed these two days. The other party prepared a sumptuous banquet for them and also arranged a lot of work for them.

For example, if some instruments break down and they can't repair them, they'll have to ask Su Chen and his team to fix them.

The purpose of asking Su Chen to repair the equipment was not simply to have him fix it, but more importantly, to learn something important from Su Chen, or rather, to secretly learn something from him.

Su Chen felt it was unnecessary. She only needed to send him a message, and he would tell her what he needed to know. Why force her to stay?

After leaving the planet, Su Chen and Yuan Jingna judged that many people would try to stop them on their next voyage.

Yuan Jingna suggested that they could take a detour, but Su Chen thought for a moment and said, "Let's forget it. Having more friends means having more options. Let's give them face, and hopefully we can use that face in the future."

Yuan Jingna thought about it carefully and realized that Su Chen's words made sense.

Just as they expected, whenever they approached someone else's base during the rest of their journey, the people at that base would definitely come looking for them and warmly invite them to visit their base.

The two of them stopped refusing, knowing it would be pointless, so they went directly to the other's base.

Most people stay for about two days, but some stay a few more days due to other reasons.

During their interactions with these bases, Su Chen and Yuan Jingna made an unexpected discovery.

These bases are developing very well.

It was much better than they had expected, especially the large bases.

Their achievements in recent years have impressed and impressed the two men; some of their technologies are indeed very advanced.

Some have already surpassed them, which makes Yuan Jingna slightly worried. She thinks that they should also speed up their research and development after returning.

Although they have continued their research in recent years, Su Chen has rarely taken action. Even when Su Chen does conduct research, it is not on common scientific research products, let alone high-tech offensive weapons.

Once aboard the interstellar warship again, Yuan Jingna shared her thoughts.

Su Chen disagreed with Yuan Jingna's statement. He sipped his tea with a smile and said, "I think you can do the research yourselves. Look at the development of other bases. They have developed so many things on their own. You can't be weaker than them by relying on yourselves, can you?"

"You should go back and have a good talk with Wang Jianfeng and the others about these things. I won't get involved."

"After the Spring Festival, I plan to return to the Andromeda Galaxy and build another base."

Yuan Jingna nodded. When talking about the Andromeda Galaxy, he naturally thought of Chen Anrong.

"How is Chen Anrong doing now?"

Su Chen shook his head. How would he know?

He didn't care much about that woman.

Yuan Jingna turned on her computer and investigated Chen Anrong's situation.

They are all under investigation or surveillance regarding some information about Chen Anrong.

Wang Jianfeng did not slack off in this regard, so after Chen Anrong was placed in another planetary base, they continued to learn about certain things.

Yuan Jingna couldn't help but laugh after reading the information on the computer.

"It seems that Chen Anrong is indeed quite capable. He is doing very well at the current base, and has basically completed the establishment of the base. Several other bases are also under his control."

"If you're going to establish a base, I personally think you shouldn't get too close to him."

Su Chen smiled and nodded; that was natural.

He wanted to get as far away from the old base as possible, but what should he do with it?

He looked at Yuan Jingna and asked.

Yuan Jingna was at a loss as to what to do with the abandoned base.

This base is very close to Chen Anrong and her group, so some contact between the two sides is inevitable.

However, they are unwilling to contact Chen Anrong now, and abandoning the base directly would be a difficult thing for them.

Because this base has a certain impact on the surrounding space jump bases, if this base is abandoned, then the surrounding space jump bases will lose a springboard, a place to replenish resources, and a protective umbrella.

This is one of the reasons why they couldn't bear to give up.

Especially with Chen Anrong, who is a source of concern, located near this planetary base, it is even more necessary to have a base nearby to keep an eye on him, guard against him, and warn him.

this day.

They finally returned to Earth 2.

Wang Jianfeng, Tang Yumo, and others had already arrived; they had been waiting for Su Chen for a long time.

After everyone met, they chatted and laughed as they walked inside. Su Chen took a special look around on the way, and the surroundings were even better than before.

Clearly, Wang Jianfeng has been working diligently and developing Earth 2 all these years.

What Su Chen was most curious about right now was how many people were on Earth 2.

When he asked this question, Wang Jianfeng was clearly taken aback.

He had looked into this problem a long time ago, but the data was clearly incorrect.

He hasn't actually kept track of this in recent years; he doesn't know, so naturally he can't give a blind answer.

Tang Yumo immediately made sarcastic remarks from the side.

"Oh my, you're the administrator of Earth 2. You don't even know the simplest and most important thing? It seems you've been working for nothing all these years."

Wang Jianfeng glared at him irritably, then explained to Su Chen with a wry smile.

"We did a survey a few years ago, and we've been doing it whenever we have the chance in recent years, but I've been too busy to look at it. I'll go to the archives to take a look later."

Tang Yumo smiled and said, "Let's go to the archives together. I also want to see the development of Earth 2 in recent years."

Wang Jianfeng nodded with a smile.

Afterwards, the group chatted and laughed as they headed to the archives.

This data room doesn't contain very important data; it belongs to a statistical data room.

For example, statistics such as how many people are on Earth 2, how large the area is, and how many plants there are are are all very common statistics, so they are not classified. People often come here looking for data.

Su Chen and his team searched around and actually found the statistics on the number of people.

There are currently 67 people on Earth 2.

This number surprised everyone; no one expected that Earth 2 already had so many people.

While 670,000 people may not seem like much in the context of humanity as a whole, they are a significant number when considering the population of a planetary base.

Looking across all the planets, there are only a handful of bases with a population of 10.

Let alone 10 people, even a base with 1 people is pitifully small.

67 people, that's a huge number.

Su Chen took a look at the general destinations of these 67 people. They all had their own jobs and residences, and were divided into many areas.

Because Earth 2 itself is so enormous, many people, even though they are all on the same planetary base, cannot see each other at all, as if they were divided into separate countries.

Then he looked at other materials.

The document contained a lot of information, and Su Chen gained a general understanding of the basic situation on Earth 2.

Others are also watching, but everyone is looking at different things and focusing on different things.

Yuan Jingna focuses on plants.

The plant life on Earth 2 has not yet been fully surveyed because the area is simply too vast.

There are places they haven't been to yet, and even though they've been to some places, they may not have been able to find all the plants. Many plants are still in the ocean, which is very deep and very vast, and there are many places they haven't explored.

However, the number of plants currently counted is in the millions.

These millions do not include the various plants transplanted from the earth.

As for the others, they also had different focuses. Wang Jianfeng was more concerned about the construction of Earth 2 and he focused on information related to that.

Earth 2 is also under construction quite well.

While there aren't exactly towering skyscrapers, there are still countless of them.

The area surrounding these high-rise buildings is still dominated by green trees and mountains. According to everyone's thinking, they still want to maintain the original state of Earth 2.

The construction of high-rise buildings is a last resort, because people need to survive and need places to live, so it is necessary to build some high-rise buildings.

However, apart from essential buildings, they will not construct additional large-scale civil engineering projects, trying their best not to damage the local ecological environment.

After leaving the archives, everyone went to the conference room.

Now that Su Chen and his group have finished their talks, they will definitely need to discuss the matters discussed with Wang Jianfeng and his team, and plan for the future. (End of Chapter)
