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

Although we haven't achieved any particularly great results after a period of research, we have made some small progress.

Therefore, everyone discussed a plan to start their research by focusing on the areas where they had achieved results, which would make things easier.

Directly researching time machines would be far too difficult.

Su Chen didn't know when he would arrive, but this project couldn't stop; it had to be continuously followed up.

Tang Yumo specifically spoke with experts and found several who wanted to study time machines. They formed a group to conduct research on this topic.

The remaining people will focus on other time-related projects.

Besides time machines, there are also time stops, time reversals, time travel, and so on.

Among the many studies on time, time travel is actually the most difficult problem to solve.

If this problem is solved, people will be able to travel to the future or the past.

This will change many things, and may even change all of humanity.

This research is currently still in the conceptual stage.

Most people felt there was little hope, but after the time machine was successfully developed, people gained some confidence in other time-related research and felt there was hope.

Since time machines can be developed, other time-related issues can naturally be developed as well.

Using some of the theoretical techniques of time machines, they can research other things.

Unfortunately, everyone is still figuring things out as they go, and even the most capable expert, Wang, is not cooperating with them.

Even if there is cooperation, it is not genuine. Cooperation also has certain limitations; it is impossible to tell everything that is known.

Therefore, the research has not made much progress.

Not only Su Chen and his team, but also the base that cooperated with Chen Anrong, made no progress.

Chen Anrong and her team haven't made much progress either. Although Expert Wang is still researching time machines, he has reached a bottleneck and hasn't made any breakthroughs.

Chen Anrong was also in a state of worry.

Initially, they paid little attention to the research and practices of others, even believing that they would never make any breakthroughs.

However, as time went on and various bases entered the research boom, worries involuntarily arose in my heart.

Chen Anrong has been losing her appetite lately, constantly worrying that others will be able to figure it out.

Once others also figure it out, they will lose their leverage.

At the very least, the amount of leverage they have will be significantly reduced.

What worried him most was Su Chen's side. Su Chen was extremely capable, and their base had gathered a considerable number of talented people.

If they figure it out, the outcome will be different.

Chen Anrong had a certain understanding of Su Chen. She knew that Su Chen was not a secretive person, nor was he a selfish person.

If he succeeds in developing this technology, he might actually share it.

Even if he doesn't share the technology, he will definitely provide the results of his research to everyone, without requiring them to pay any price.

This had an impact on him.

He has already sent people to inquire, and heard that Su Chen has not made any progress yet, and Su Chen has not yet started his research.

But this worry only intensified.

Because he knew that Su Chen's side had already started researching, but Su Chen hadn't made a move yet.

If Su Chen had intervened, would the outcome have been different?
Chen Anrong was still afraid of Su Chen's abilities. She knew that Su Chen was an all-round talent. He had even developed a technology like a space jump base. Couldn't he develop a technology like a time machine?
Although there are fundamental differences between the two, they are equally difficult in terms of difficulty alone.

Since Su Chen was able to research space jump technology, he could naturally also research time and its technology.

As for when it will be researched and developed, that's uncertain.

Chen Anrong still felt the urgency of time, so she kept urging expert Wang to work harder recently.

However, recently, Expert Wang has been getting quite close to the beautiful woman mentioned above.

This beautiful woman comes to see him every day, and Expert Wang quite enjoys it.

The research is still ongoing, but it's not being done with the same effort as before.

Chen Anrong didn't know what to say. This was the most crucial time, and he didn't want to create any rift between him and Expert Wang.

Once a rift develops, it will inevitably be exploited by others who will try to sow discord between them.

He was very accommodating to her and tried his best to coax her into doing the research.

Expert Wang is quite sensible; he's not a fool, but rather a smart man.

He understood perfectly well what some people wanted from approaching him, including that beautiful woman.

He enjoys some benefits, but he is also cautious in protecting them.

Time flies, and half a month has passed.

On that very day, it was suddenly announced that they had made a significant breakthrough in the field of time machines.

As soon as this news came out, expert Wang couldn't sit still.

He was the first person to get restless.

Because he was the first to develop it, but now that others have made significant breakthroughs, he is afraid that his authority will be challenged.

This time, Chen Anrong didn't need to look for him or coax him anymore; he naturally began to study diligently.

Using the excuse that Expert Wang needed to conduct research, Chen Anrong sent away everyone who wanted to see him. Those who could be driven out of the base were driven out, and those who couldn't be driven out were prevented from having contact with Expert Wang.

Su Chen also learned of the news.

Upon hearing that such a significant breakthrough had been made, Tang Yumo was still somewhat skeptical.

He felt that it was more likely that the higher-ups were up to something, and perhaps they deliberately spread this rumor to deceive Chen Anrong.

The intention was to put pressure on Chen Anrong and force her to agree to a deeper collaboration with them.

Chen Anrong did have this concern.

He was also familiar with some of the methods commonly used by those in power.

So when the higher-ups negotiated with him again, he still didn't budge. He even deliberately brought up Su Chen and his group to pressure them, saying that he planned to go to Su Chen's place in a while.

This did put some pressure on those above, but they weren't just giving it away for nothing.

The above is developing very well in Jiutianxing.

In particular, the team led by Professor Li is extremely capable, and it was they who made significant breakthroughs in time machines.

However, there are still great difficulties in independently developing a time machine, which is why the higher-ups still need to negotiate with Chen Anrong.

When Tang Yumo found Su Chen, Su Chen was reading a book in his room.

Tang Yumo glanced at the book Su Chen was reading and saw the word "time" on the cover. He immediately took a few steps forward and smiled slightly at Su Chen.

"What are you looking at?" Su Chen closed the book, said nothing, and asked Tang Yumo what she wanted to see him about.

Tang Yumo pursed her lips and said, "Do you know about what happened up there? I heard they've made a significant breakthrough in time management."

"We haven't made any breakthroughs yet. We can't afford to fall behind. You should join the research quickly and try to make a major breakthrough in a short time."

Su Chen's thoughts were the opposite of Tang Yumo's.

He tapped the table lightly and said, "They've made some progress. If we make any more progress, it might put a lot of pressure on Chen Anrong, which could have a certain impact on him."

Tang Yumo was about to ask what his influence had to do with them when Su Chen interrupted him and continued his analysis: "Chen Anrong has nothing to do with us, but the higher-ups will bother us."

"Moreover, it put pressure on Chen Anrong, which naturally put pressure on those above her as well."

"They are more likely to form a deep partnership, don't you think?"

After saying this, Tang Yumo fell silent.
He hadn't expected this situation.

He was only thinking about developing something as quickly as possible so that he wouldn't be looked down upon by others, but he didn't realize that if their research succeeded, it would put pressure on others.

He thought about it carefully and completely agreed with Su Chen's words.

If Su Chen and his team's research succeeds, the pressure they will put on others will be unprecedented.

Because everyone understands Su Chen's abilities.

If he makes a significant breakthrough, the chances of successfully developing a time machine are extremely high.

This will cause concern among others, which will lead them to unite.

If they unite, they may be affected.

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Tang Yumo finally threw the question back to Su Chen.

Su Chen smiled and told him to just do what he was supposed to do and not to worry about anything else.

What he needs to do now is to conduct thorough research.

Tang Yumo nodded reluctantly, glancing back at Su Chen every few steps, as if Su Chen were a thief.

Su Chen walked helplessly to his side and forcibly pushed him away.

Back in his room, Su Chen leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes to rest, and pondered Tang Yumo's concerns.

There's no other way right now. Do I really have to step in myself?
However, he couldn't guarantee the success of his research on time, and he wasn't in a hurry at the moment.

Let's wait a little longer.

Su Chen thought to himself.

Just then, Yuan Jingna suddenly came to him, saying that Wang Jianfeng had contacted him and wanted to discuss something with him.

Su Chen suddenly felt a headache coming on. Before even seeing Wang Jianfeng, Su Chen guessed that his search for him must be related to the time machine.

He told Yuan Jingna his guess, and Yuan Jingna smiled and nodded.

Research organizations and bases around the world are busy with this matter, and Wang Jianfeng certainly won't be idle either.

Looking at Su Chen, who seemed a little worried, she smiled and said, "I think it's good news."

"Really?" Su Chen asked, somewhat surprised.

Yuan Jingna hummed in agreement. She saw a smile on Wang Jianfeng's face; there was no worry on his face, so there must be some good news.

Su Chen silently hoped that Yuan Jingna's words would come true.

When the two arrived at the liaison room, Wang Jianfeng had already brewed himself a cup of tea, and he was picking up the teapot to pour the water.

Upon seeing the two arrive, he quickly put down the teapot and greeted them.

"You're here! It's been so long since I've seen you all."

Yuan Jingna sat on the sofa next to her, looking at Wang Jianfeng in the video, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

"You seem to be in a good mood. Is there some good news?"

Wang Jianfeng picked up the teapot again with a bit of smugness, poured himself a cup of water, and laughed heartily.

"It's not exactly good news. I haven't contacted you guys in a long time, and I was just thinking of having a chat with you."

You know about time machines, right?

Su Chen and Yuan Jingna nodded at the same time, their expressions somewhat indifferent, even a little impatient.

They had heard so much about time machines that they were getting a little impatient.

Su Chen, in particular, had just heard Tang Yumo's explanation, and now Wang Jianfeng was going to say the same thing to him. He really had no desire to listen to any more.

Before Wang Jianfeng could say anything more, Su Chen spoke first: "Just say what you have to say, keep it simple, and don't ramble on. I'm getting annoyed by it lately."

Wang Jianfeng glanced at Su Chen secretly, then smiled and asked, "Are you upset because someone else has invented a time machine?"

Su Chen didn't say anything; he wouldn't get angry over something like this.

Even though Yuan Jingna knew Wang Jianfeng was joking, she couldn't help but explain for Su Chen.

"Nonsense. Don't you know who Su Chen is? He hasn't even researched it yet, and he's not interested in this technology at all."

"Are you alright? If you're alright, we're leaving."

He got up as if to leave, but Wang Jianfeng quickly stopped him, saying, "Don't go, don't go, why are you angry about a joke?"

"I just wanted to tell you that I recently organized a group of people to study time machines, and we have finally made some breakthroughs."

He was quite happy, and after he finished speaking, he stared at the two of them, but they didn't give him any reaction and showed no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.

Wang Jianfeng smacked his lips and looked at them innocently, asking what was wrong.

Su Chen and Yuan Jingna shook their heads simultaneously, feeling no excitement whatsoever.

In the past few days, they had heard too many stories about breakthroughs in time machine research, so they didn't react much when Wang Jianfeng said it.

Yuan Jingna couldn't help but tease, "I thought you guys had invented a time machine. What's so exciting about a breakthrough?"

Wang Jianfeng opened his mouth, but couldn't speak for a long time. After a while, he said, "Although we haven't figured it out yet, there has been a major breakthrough this time. Would you like to take a look at the research report?"

Yuan Jingna was about to nod, but suddenly felt something was amiss, so she stopped talking.

Su Chen spoke up at this moment.

"Keep the data you produce as usual. You can hand it over to us when you have concrete results."

“This matter is very important, and the experts value it highly. Each base has assembled a team to conduct research. Wouldn’t it be a waste of our money if you gave us the research results?”

"What are your base's experts supposed to do? Once we achieve results, how do you plan to settle things?"

Su Chen's words were like a wake-up call, immediately making Wang Jianfeng realize the seriousness of the problem, and he quickly nodded.

Su Chen also instructed him to make things clear to the experts when he returned, and to have the experts temporarily keep the research secrets to avoid any disputes or difficulties in explaining them later.

In fact, this has always been the case in previous studies; research results are only reported after they are produced. (End of Chapter)
