Chapter 860
Change of Form!
In the field of space, experts are indeed more comfortable with their research, but like in the field of time research, there have been no particularly significant breakthroughs.
After half a year, the time machine is still the same as before, without much improvement.
Almost no parts were replaced.
Wang Jianfeng was frustrated, and Chen Anrong was even more frustrated. As the person in charge, she had made no progress in six months, leaving her speechless in front of many people.
The experts, on the other hand, remained quite calm.
From the very beginning of the project, everyone knew that this was an extremely difficult research endeavor.
Let alone half a year, there may not be any major progress within 10 years.
They are used to this phenomenon.
There is no other way but to work hard.
Chen Anrong held a separate meeting that day.
I'm asking everyone if they have any good ideas on how to overcome the current problem as soon as possible.
He felt that maintaining this state was a waste of time and that he couldn't afford to waste all his time on it.
We must make a breakthrough as soon as possible.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain himself to Wang Jianfeng.
Even if Wang Jianfeng didn't say anything, he himself was too ashamed to continue the research.
One of the experts stood up, frowned, and said, "That's how research is. It's impossible to succeed in a short time. Not everyone is Su Chen, and not everyone can succeed in a short period of time."
"If we're really in a rush, we can only classify it as a routine study."
The "routine research" he mentioned is a normalized research process without any time constraints. It involves leaving a group of people to conduct research and development, but when the research will be successful is uncertain.
Others devoted themselves to other research.
Chen Anrong hesitated for a moment regarding the expert's suggestion.
He was in charge of the research, but if he really wanted to change the research plan, he had to apply to Wang Jianfeng.
He rejected the expert's advice, saying, "Let's wait a little longer. I'll give you some more time. I believe you can definitely make a breakthrough."
Seeing that Chen Anrong had such great confidence in them.
Everyone nodded, and no one said anything discouraging.
Everyone hoped for success, but reality was not what they expected.
Two more months passed, and there was still no significant progress.
Chen Anrong felt somewhat helpless.
Wang Jianfeng has been busy with other things lately and hasn't asked about the time machine.
In his view, this research was inherently very difficult.
He knew he wouldn't get any results in a short time, so he wasn't in a hurry.
When Chen Anrong found Wang Jianfeng, he was in a meeting, the content of which was related to the university.
Recently, the university is preparing to recruit students, and several university leaders came to him to discuss the specifics.
One of the leaders even suggested that a group of students could be recruited from Earth 2.
Wang Jianfeng was discussing this matter with them when Chen Anrong arrived.
Chen Anrong didn't dare to disturb his meeting and just waited at the door.
Someone who saw him quietly told Wang Jianfeng.
Wang Jianfeng thought for a moment and decided not to let him in immediately, continuing the meeting with everyone.
After the meeting, Chen Anrong waited until everyone had left before going into her office.
Wang Jianfeng sipped his tea, smiled broadly, and nodded to Chen Anrong, gesturing for her to sit down.
As soon as Chen Anrong sat down, he asked about the time machine.
Chen Anrong had come for this very reason. Upon hearing her question, he couldn't help but give a wry smile and explained the current situation to her.
Wang Jianfeng didn't react much.
Seeing Chen Anrong looking worried, he comforted her, saying, "It's nothing. This research is inherently very difficult."
"I think things are going pretty well so far, and we should give them some more time."
Chen Anrong was surprised by his words, but from them, she could tell that Wang Jianfeng didn't take the matter to heart.
He frowned slightly and said, "Personally, I think that since we can't figure it out, we should just treat this research as a regular study."
“Research is necessary, but we can’t put all our energy into it.”
Wang Jianfeng pondered for a moment, then silently nodded, leaving everything to Chen Anrong to handle.
Seeing that Wang Jianfeng didn't seem very interested in the matter, Chen Anrong coughed and said with slight dissatisfaction, "Do you think they can't figure it out at all, so you're not very concerned?"
Wang Jianfeng paused for a moment, shook his head vigorously, and said firmly, "How could that be? I have great confidence in them."
"But research is not something that can be done in a short time. Sufficient time is needed for research. The problem is that you are too impatient and eager for quick results."
After saying this, Chen Anrong blinked but didn't say anything.
He felt that Wang Jianfeng's last words made a lot of sense, as if the problem lay with him.
I was too eager for success, too eager to improve.
Seeing him standing there dumbfounded, Wang Jianfeng got up and came to him, saying calmly, "I understand what you're thinking. You want to achieve something and be respected."
"But achieving results is not an easy thing, especially if you want to achieve great results, then it is even more difficult."
"I fully support you, but don't rush, take it slow."
He then left the office, leaving Chen Anrong alone to think.
After a long while, Chen Anrong left the office, recalling Wang Jianfeng's words. In the end, he decided to adopt the previous plan.
Some experts were left to continue the research, while the rest continued with their regular work.
Time travel has become a routine area of research.
Su Chen also heard about what happened on Earth 2.
They also knew that some time ago, they had been researching time travel machines.
Su Chen was quite interested in their research.
If it weren't for the great distance, he would really like to go and see how far their research had progressed.
Unfortunately, it's completely invisible now.
Since Wang Jianfeng didn't provide any information on this, Su Chen naturally wouldn't forcefully ask for it.
He wanted to give Wang Jianfeng and others some freedom, and there was no need for them to report such things to him.
Tang Yumo also knew about this.
That day, having nothing to do, he chatted with Su Chen about time machines.
He asked Su Chen whether Earth 2 could be successfully developed; that was his only concern, and he didn't care about anything else.
Su Chen analyzed the situation very seriously and concluded that this research was too difficult and had virtually no chance of success.
He didn't think the experts were incompetent; rather, he analyzed the situation from multiple perspectives and angles.
First of all, this was their first time researching a time machine. Such research is inherently difficult, and being their first attempt, how could they possibly succeed on the first try?
Secondly, there's the understanding of time machines.
They didn't actually fully understand the structure of this machine.
All these ideas come from fantasies and theories, which have no scientific basis.
Many design concepts are simply imagined out of thin air.
Under such circumstances and with such a limited knowledge base, it would be extremely difficult to research and develop a real time machine.
In addition to these, there are many other factors.
For example, the issue of materials.
A time machine is a machine that can travel to the future, and its materials must be extremely unique.
Even the most ordinary exterior design cannot be exactly as they imagined; it must have its unique features.
Especially in terms of materials, many of them are definitely special.
Of all the materials they currently possess, very few are actually suitable for a time machine.
Some spatial materials can be utilized, but there aren't many of them.
Su Chen's analysis was logical and well-founded, and Tang Yumo listened with great interest. In a moment of looking up, he asked Su Chen, "If you were to research this, could you succeed?"
Su Chen quickly shook his head, saying that it was impossible for him to succeed in researching it.
Although he vehemently denied it, Tang Yumo believed that if he were allowed to conduct the research, he would definitely make a breakthrough.
This breakthrough could be historic.
This will lay the foundation for future research.
Knowing that Su Chen had nothing to do recently, he joked, "Since you have nothing to do anyway, why don't you take a look and compare with them to see who can figure it out?"
Su Chen waved his hand. He was indeed not busy, but he also didn't want to study time machines.
He has a very clear understanding of himself and knows his own capabilities.
The space jump research was successful because he had mastered certain technologies, and these technologies were based on evidence.
Among some of the materials, there are also those related to space materials, which allow him to conduct experimental research.
But time machines present a different problem.
There was absolutely no idea what to do.
He knew that even he himself would find it difficult to succeed in the research.
Therefore, he wouldn't easily delve into it.
Tang Yumo looked slightly disappointed and pouted, saying, "Fine, don't bother researching it. But if someone else manages to figure it out, you might regret it."
Su Chen laughed heartily; he couldn't wait for someone else to figure it out.
This will save me a lot of trouble, allow me to obtain a lot of data, and thus open up new fields.
Unfortunately, no one has yet figured it out, nor has anyone provided any data or technology regarding time travel.
They don't even have the most basic technology.
He was quite disappointed.
The two chatted for a while, and Tang Yumo suddenly brought up Chen Anrong.
"What do you think of Chen Anrong? He's probably become Wang Jianfeng's favorite now, and he has to talk to him about everything. I heard that Chen Anrong is in charge of the time machine."
Su Chen glanced at Tang Yumo and remained silent for a long time.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Tang Yumo was startled by Su Chen's gaze and stuck out her tongue. "Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't say anything."
"I don't dislike Chen Anrong that much now, but I'm still a little worried about him. We should be on guard to prevent him from doing anything to sabotage the base."
Su Chen hummed in agreement, without saying anything more.
He believed that Wang Jianfeng would handle the security issues well, and that Tang Yumo's worries were somewhat unnecessary.
Seeing that Su Chen didn't react, Tang Yumo pouted and got up to go find Yuan Jingna.
I haven't seen Yuan Jingna in a long time, and I wonder what she's been up to.
Upon arriving at Yuan Jingna's research lab, Yuan Jingna was tending to the flowers and plants.
These flowers and plants are distinctly different from those on Earth; they are more vibrant and have much larger branches and leaves.
Walking up to Yuan Jingna, Tang Yumo covered his eyes with her hands and deliberately said in a muffled voice, "Guess who I am?"
"Tang Yumo," Yuan Jingna replied with a smile.
No one but him would do such a thing.
A man would never do that, and a girl wouldn't have the guts either. The only person who could do something like that is him.
Tang Yumo pouted, not letting go of her hand, and asked in the same strange tone as before, "Why not Su Chen?"
Yuan Jingna gently patted the hand covering her eyes and chuckled softly, "How could Su Chen do such a thing? Let go of him quickly."
Tang Yumo removed her hand in disappointment and stood in front of Yuan Jingna with a grin, "You've been here the whole time lately, haven't you been doing anything else?"
Yuan Jingna smiled mysteriously and led Tang Yumo to his research lab.
This research lab was recently established and is specifically used for a special study on Yuan Jingna.
He named this research a plant monitoring system, which is also a technology he has been studying recently.
Tang Yumo was immediately captivated by everything she saw in the research lab.
Because this research lab contains not only a variety of plants, but also many large screens.
Through the large screen, he discovered that the scene displayed on the screen was actually the scene of this room.
However, upon closer inspection, there were no cameras around, and he asked Yuan Jingna with great curiosity how she managed to monitor the situation.
Did you install some kind of tiny camera?
Yuan Jingna shook her head and said with a smile, "This is a plant monitoring system that I have been researching. These images are all from plant observations."
Tang Yumo exclaimed in surprise and turned around in front of the plant in disbelief.
As he walked in front of each plant, his image would appear on a camera screen.
He crouched down and carefully examined the plant in front of him, but found no small cameras inside; it was just an ordinary plant.
But how could an ordinary plant possibly photograph itself and upload it to a screen? That's really too strange.
He looked at Yuan Jingna in surprise and asked about the underlying principle.
Yuan Jingna smiled and began to explain to him.
Yuan Jingna began this research some time ago.
The plants haven't actually changed; it's the screen that's changed.
These screens look no different from other screens on the outside, but their internal structure is indeed plant-based.
If you open the inside of the screen, you will see the roots and stems of many plants.
These roots were transformed into the video through a very peculiar process.
After Yuan Jingna finished explaining her research, Tang Yumo stared wide-eyed, utterly incredulous that such a feat was even possible. (End of Chapter)
