Chapter 975
Creating a New Planet!
this day.
Su Chen and his group finally returned to Earth 2.
Before even getting close to Earth 2, an alarm sounded inside the interstellar warship, reporting an unknown danger ahead.
The alarm blared loudly, startling many people into a cold sweat. Su Chen and his group, however, were prepared and didn't react much.
But others don't know that they rarely experience this kind of thing.
Although they frequently travel through space, alarms are rarely triggered.
The alarms inside the interstellar warship are also divided into three levels: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3.
Level 3 alarms are the lowest level of alarms, and they are usually the ones that receive level 3 alarms.
Level 1 alerts like these are rare, and they are not assessed by humans but by artificial intelligence.
When such an alarm is triggered, it means that they have encountered a very serious danger.
This danger could very well destroy the entire interstellar warship, but fortunately Su Chen and his team were prepared.
Because they knew that Earth 2 was affected by the magnetic field, they also wondered if the interstellar warship would also be affected if it approached or entered the interstellar warship.
To prevent this from happening, they began making arrangements during the voyage, completely remodeling the entire interstellar warship to give key locations the ability to resist magnetic fields.
Looking at the unfathomable universe, Tang Yumo couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
Fortunately, they were prepared in advance. If they hadn't been prepared and the interstellar warship had been interfered with, would their entire crew have simply disappeared into space? Would the entire interstellar warship have been completely disrupted and become uncontrollable?
He found it amusing that they could only drift in the universe.
If the entire structure of the starship is not damaged, but only its various functions are interfered with.
He felt that everyone could survive for a while, just like in a post-apocalyptic world.
Perhaps, as time goes by, the interstellar warship will float out of the magnetic field's control, allowing them to regain control of the warship.
He considered it a wonderful experience, but unfortunately, few people would want to have such an experience.
Tang Yumo herself didn't want it to happen, so she could only fantasize about it in her mind.
The closer to Earth 2, the greater the influence of the magnetic field.
However, since we haven't entered Earth 2 yet, this sensitivity is extremely limited.
Even so, there was still widespread panic within the starship.
Firstly, it served as an alarm; secondly, it created a sense of pressure that people felt for no apparent reason.
Su Chen had instructed them all to wear protective suits, because wearing protective suits meant that danger had appeared around them.
In addition to psychological stress, they also experienced unprecedented physical stress.
This pressure still comes from the magnetic field.
I don't know why, but in addition to interfering with many things, the magnetic field can also oppress the human body, as if everyone's organs are being dried out.
Many people feel dizzy and nauseous, while others feel weak and listless, as if they have a serious illness.
This was the first time Su Chen and his team had encountered such a situation.
Su Chen attributed the problem to the protective suit. It was possible that the magnetic field interference was particularly strong, while the protective suit provided relatively weak defense, thus affecting the human body to some extent.
To prevent any accidents from happening, Su Chen had everyone return to their rooms.
I was still wearing protective clothing when I got back to my room.
The rooms on the starship were better defended, and when everyone returned to their rooms, they did feel much better.
Su Chen then entered the research lab and began new research.
The first step is to research and develop a protective suit.
This protective suit must be able to completely resist magnetic fields, and ideally, block all magnetic fields.
When the magnetic field radiates onto the protective suit, the suit should be able to block it 100%.
This kind of research is no easier than research on time machines, and sometimes it is even more complex.
Su Chen couldn't guarantee that he could research it successfully, but he could guarantee that he could improve the performance of the protective suit.
His current concern is that since everyone seems to have been affected by the magnetic field in the early stages, will there be any changes in their bodies, or will anyone fall ill?
Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna were not idle either.
The two of them have been researching how to treat the body affected by magnetic field interference.
Tang Yumo has done some research in this area, and Yuan Jingna has also done some research.
Although he is a plant expert, plants are also a type of living organism, and there are all sorts of environments when studying plants, and plants are also incredibly diverse.
Yuan Jingna was able to apply the knowledge gained from plants to the human body.
The two of them worked together on the research, but there wasn't much progress for a while.
The interstellar warship finally entered Earth 2.
Due to the magnetic field, all the defense systems on Earth 2 were affected.
They received news that an interstellar warship had entered the planet, but they couldn't determine whether the warship was friend or foe.
Upon learning of this, Wang Jianfeng immediately convened a brief meeting.
He first showed everyone the photos taken by the satellite and said, "I have already sent someone to contact Su Chen."
"Judging from the time, they should have arrived by now. This interstellar warship also belongs to us, so there shouldn't be any major problems."
Some people are very cautious, worried that this might be a deliberate act by someone, perhaps intended to make them lower their guard.
Ultimately, Wang Jianfeng decided to deploy personnel near the airport so that they could immediately take control of the interstellar warship should any danger arise.
The interstellar warship slowly docked at the airport. The moment it stopped, fully armed soldiers surrounded it, and all kinds of cannons and other weapons were aimed at it.
The cabin door slowly opened.
Su Chen and his group came down.
When Wang Jianfeng and the others saw their faces on the screen, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone rushed to greet them.
After everyone met, there were no pleasantries; Su Chen went straight to asking how things were going.
Wang Jianfeng was holding a stack of documents in his hands, which contained relevant information.
He handed the documents to Su Chen and then whispered, "The situation is very serious."
“We don’t know the situation inside, but the situation outside has basically stabilized. The main problem now is that the magnetic field is interfering with the surrounding area, and we are unable to take effective action.”
"Everyone is wearing protective suits now, which makes it difficult for them to move around. My personal opinion is that we should solve the problem of the surrounding magnetic field first."
Su Chen nodded as he looked at the documents.
The document contains many photos showing the destructive scenes caused by recent magnetic field interference.
The place with the most photos is the research lab area; I've checked out the situation there using a drone.
The magnetic field interferes very strongly with drones, preventing them from getting close.
It can only capture some nearby scenes.
The high-altitude drones captured scenes from the air, and the entire research lab room has been destroyed.
Some things could still be vaguely seen, but most of the things had been destroyed.
Su Chen slowly closed his eyes, knowing that there was little hope for the person inside.
However, we still need to try to salvage the situation, at least to ease the emotional distress. The group went to the conference room to discuss their next steps.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one said a word.
Wang Jianfeng came to the screen.
Images and videos flashed across the screen.
The crowd became even more silent, their anger tinged with sadness.
They suffered heavy losses this time, something no one had expected.
In their minds, their security measures are the best in the world.
But this still happened.
At this point, an expert asked whether this matter should be reported to everyone.
The "everyone" he referred to included not only Su Chen and their base, but also other places. Simply put, should we issue a statement to inform the whole world about this?
After the experts offered their opinions, they were immediately met with opposition from the majority of people.
Everyone agreed that this matter should be kept secret and absolutely not allowed to spread.
This has a very significant impact on them.
Wang Jianfeng remained silent. He didn't want to report it either, but keeping it a secret wasn't a solution.
Moreover, this kind of thing can't be kept secret forever; it will eventually be found out.
They need to explain to the family members. How can they explain this to the family members if they have concealed it?
If the family is informed truthfully, do you think they will cover it up for them?
He looked at Su Chen, hoping Su Chen could make the decision.
Su Chen pursed his lips and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
After a long while, he spoke.
All eyes were now on him.
Su Chen looked around at everyone present and forced a smile.
"Let's just give an announcement. We should say exactly what happened and there's no need to hide anything."
The group stopped discussing the topic, and Wang Jianfeng hesitated to speak.
He personally wanted to keep the matter quiet, even if it meant talking about it later.
Even if they only issue a statement after the truth comes out.
He felt that issuing a statement now might cause all sorts of trouble.
But since Su Chen had made up his mind, he couldn't say anything more.
The specific procedures for issuing the notification will be handled by professionals.
Just a few simple lines of text can make things perfectly clear.
There's actually a specific reason behind this kind of notification.
It's clearly a very serious matter, but simply issuing a notice makes people feel less affected.
Because it's a written announcement, it's difficult for people to imagine certain scenes.
If it were a video announcement, it would be truly impactful.
However, such notifications are not usually issued.
The report only needs to state what happened and the details of the casualties.
Of course, sometimes, to avoid panic, some information may be disclosed less.
This matter quickly spread to everyone, and the whole world knew about it.
Ordinary people don't pay much attention to this matter; they only care about how many people were injured or killed and how much damage was caused. They don't care about anything else.
Because the announcement was so brief, many people just glanced at it and moved on.
However, people at each base were paying close attention to this matter.
Experts are also paying close attention to this matter.
Others may not understand, but they certainly do.
The report did not specify what kind of research led to the accident, so many people at the base began to inquire about what had happened and how serious the accident was.
Naturally, the authorities contacted Wang Jianfeng to inquire about the situation.
Although they are not on good terms now, and have even separated, Su Chen and his group are still nominally subordinates.
It's only natural to ask them.
Wang Jianfeng gave a brief explanation and then left in a hurry.
As for the people at other bases, those responses were handled by others.
Chen Anrong also inquired, and the answers she received were not significantly different.
Only a few brief sentences were mentioned, stating that the specific issues arising from the time machine research were under investigation.
Su Chen and his team first studied the area around the magnetic field, starting by using various instruments to reduce the strength of the magnetic field.
This way everyone can work normally, and it would be best to keep the magnetic field within the laboratory area.
This was a very challenging research project for them, but they were still full of confidence.
Especially after Su Chen arrived.
Before Su Chen arrived, the experts had already begun their research and had made some progress.
With Su Chen's tireless research, they quickly found a way to minimize the influence of the magnetic field.
And the entire magnetic field is fixed in one place.
They used an absorption method. Magnetic fields have their own factors of existence, and they can also be affected or attracted by certain substances.
Su Chen and his team used this substance to absorb all the magnetic fields into one place, which is where the research lab is located.
Su Chen has been on Earth 2 for five days. During these five days, he has been mostly in the conference room discussing various matters and solutions with everyone, or in the research lab. He is so busy that he has not even gone to the site to take a look.
There's no need to go to the site now; there are already many unresolved issues outside.
They must first solve the external problems before addressing the internal ones; otherwise, they will find it extremely difficult to make any progress.
It took five days to complete.
Su Chen finally made some progress.
The magnetic field around the base has been completely resolved, and everyone has returned to normal work. However, one area is off-limits to anyone, and warning signs have been erected around it, with soldiers on guard.
Meanwhile, Su Chen led his team to the accident site, intending to explore inside.
This is a dangerous job, but Su Chen has already developed a protective suit that can completely protect them.
However, everyone was still worried, especially Wang Jianfeng, who believed that Su Chen should not do such a risky thing and that sending a few people would be enough.
Su Chen firmly rejected Wang Jianfeng's suggestion.
The matter was of great importance, and he was worried that others might encounter problems during the exploration process, so he thought it would be better to go and see for himself.
Besides observing things themselves and solving some problems, there is another issue that Su Chen needs to consider.
So what exactly caused the laboratory explosion? What did they go through, and what were they researching?
Obtaining this useful information would be beneficial to his future research on time machines. (End of Chapter)
