Chapter 981

Forced into a corner!

Time flies, and a month has passed.

There hasn't been much progress in Professor Chen's research.

There has been no breakthrough in time machines.

Currently, only an empty shell has been designed.

This empty shell is a machine, but there's nothing inside it, so it has no function.

If they don't tell others, they can all pretend.

Looking at the machine in front of him, Old Chen was so angry that he gave Professor Li and the others a good scolding and told them to speed up their research.

Although they failed to complete the research as he had requested, Old Chen did nothing to them.

Although he didn't understand this area, he was well aware that this kind of research was extremely difficult, and it wasn't something he could research whenever he wanted.

He is now particularly concerned about Su Chen.

Not only did he care, but people from other bases also cared a lot and would contact Tang Yumo, Wang Jianfeng and the others from time to time.

However, these people were unaware of the situation.

Because after Su Chen began his research, he had already imposed martial law.

No one other than those inside the research room is allowed to enter.

People inside are not allowed to leave without permission, and their activity range is limited; they basically work in the studio.

After finishing work, I would go back to rest and hardly interact with anyone else.

With Su Chen's help and research, the time machine has made a major breakthrough.

However, the core problem remains unresolved.

Su Chen knew that if he went out, people would definitely ask questions, and he didn't want to cause such trouble, so he stayed in the research room.

His sleeping quarters were also arranged separately.

He basically works here.

this day.

Su Chen then went into the research room to conduct further research.

His research room is secluded, and almost no outsiders enter it.

There were soldiers guarding the entrance, and no one except him was allowed to enter without permission.

Su Chen will send someone in to assist if needed, but no one has entered his research lab yet.

Su Chen's research lab was filled with all sorts of things, and at that moment he stood in front of the experimental items he was researching, deep in thought.

How exactly can we create changes between time and space?

This is the most important core issue at present.

If this problem cannot be solved, the rest of the research will be of no use.

A ray of sunlight shone into the room, and as the sunlight entered, Su Chen's instruments reacted slightly.

This reaction is a natural one.

This reaction sparked a sudden idea in Su Chen's mind.

Perhaps we could change the direction of our research?
Thinking of this, he immediately called the experts over.

There were a lot of experts here this time, about a dozen people, and these dozen or so people have been studying time for a long time.

Su Chen shared his idea with everyone, and their eyes lit up upon hearing it; it was indeed a very unique idea.

Everyone immediately carried out the experiment according to Su Chen's idea.

Through numerous experiments, they finally discovered something.

These are the core elements, but we're still one step away from the most important core issue.

However, this breakthrough has filled everyone with confidence.

Su Chen has already opened a door for them; they can go inside and do many things.

At this point, Su Chen's pressure was greatly reduced.

Since the door is already open, they can basically complete the task inside on their own if everyone works hard and is given enough time.

Of course, Su Chen wasn't idle either; he continued doing what he was supposed to do.

In order to resolve this matter as quickly as possible, he also threw himself into his work.

They work almost as soon as they get up and rest as soon as they finish work, with no other leisure activities.

this day.

A person barged into the study room; it was Tang Yumo.

Tang Yumo was reluctant to bother Su Chen for a while, knowing that they were quite busy with work.

But it's been almost two months, and he doesn't know how things are here, so he wanted to come and ask.

When he arrived at the entrance, he was stopped by soldiers who said he was not allowed to go in.

Tang Yumo's face turned red with anger as she questioned the soldier about who had sent him and who had given him the orders.

The soldier said with a serious expression that it was Su Chen.

Tang Yumo immediately fell silent.

Because he was the one who initially gave the orders; he was the one who brought this group of people over, and he was the one who gave them the orders.

But then Su Chen gave the order directly, and he couldn't control what was happening here.

Of course, he didn't know that.

He thought he could come and go as he pleased, but who would have thought he would be stopped by the soldiers outside.

He knew that the soldiers wouldn't listen to him. Since Su Chen had given the order, no one else's order would work except Su Chen's.

He glared at the soldier, then helplessly returned to his room.

He got a little angry when he went back.

How to do it?

He thought of Yuan Jingna and told her about it.

Yuan Jingna smiled and told him to call Su Chen first and say he wanted to go and take a look. How could Su Chen refuse him?

Tang Yumo called Su Chen again.

Su Chen was busy with his research and didn't have time to communicate with Tang Yumo, but they had a small liaison room here.

Upon hearing that Tang Yumo had arrived, someone in the liaison room immediately informed Su Chen.

Su Chen didn't pay any attention and ordered his men to let him in.

That's how Tang Yumo was able to come here.

She first took a walk around the research room and inquired about the experts' research achievements.

The experts all said the research was good, but no one explained to him what specific content the research had covered or what stage it had reached.

Tang Yumo looked at them, speechless for a moment.

In the past, when I asked them questions, they would answer truthfully and in detail, telling me the extent of their research.

But after Su Chen arrived, it seemed as if I had become an outsider and lost control of the place.

He felt a little uncomfortable, but he quickly adjusted and leisurely made his way to Su Chen's research lab.

Seeing two soldiers at the entrance, he did not go in.

He knew that these two soldiers would definitely not give him any face and would definitely keep him out, so why should he bother making a fool of himself?

After a long wait, the lab door finally opened, and Su Chen walked out. He didn't react to Tang Yumo at all, as if she were a complete stranger, and brushed past her.

Tang Yumo quickly grabbed Su Chen and called out behind him.

"You can't see me."

Su Chen suddenly came to his senses, looked behind him again, smiled and nodded at Tang Yumo, asking when he had arrived.

Tang Yumo snorted irritably and said as she followed him, "I've been here for a long time. I know you're busy, so I didn't want to bother you."

"It seems you've been quite interested in this research lately. Have you forgotten about everything around you?"

Su Chen nodded.

Once he gets absorbed in his research, he forgets everything else.

This has nothing to do with what project you are researching; the same applies to researching other things.

He knew why Tang Yumo had come to him, and said bluntly, "Don't ask me about research questions, I'm not willing to answer them. Ask someone else if you have any questions."

Tang Yumo pursed her lips and remained silent.

At this moment, Su Chen suddenly asked about the situation at the other bases and whether there were any new developments.

Tang Yumo immediately perked up and reported the situation of the other bases to Su Chen.

Apart from the progress made by Chen Anrong, research at other bases has stalled, and there's been no particularly good news.

Su Chen frowned and asked Tang Yumo if it was possible that the other party had not leaked it.

Tang Yumo coughed and said with a smile, "Anyway, I have used all my resources, and so far I have not received any information."

He glanced at Su Chen, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself, as if to say, "Do we have any good news on our end?"

Seeing the longing in his eyes, Su Chen finally said, "Things are going quite smoothly here. If nothing unexpected happens, I think we should have some results within six months."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yumo frowned slightly, feeling that half a year was a bit too long.

Seeing Su Chen's slightly tired figure, she didn't say anything more.

But Su Chen understood what he was thinking and told him very seriously that these things couldn't be rushed.

Moreover, they are already researching at top speed, and he believes they are definitely among the second group to develop a time machine.

Tang Yumo was overjoyed to hear the news.

Immediately afterwards, he asked Su Chen if he could release the news.

Su Chen turned around and looked at him unexpectedly, asking him why he had leaked the information and what benefit it would bring them.

Tang Yumo blinked and said with a grin that it could put pressure on others, and even make them give up.

Most importantly, many people are paying attention to them, and many people are also gossiping about Su Chen.

Once this news is released, all the rumors and gossip will disappear.

Su Chen waved his hand and very seriously told Tang Yumo that she could not tell anyone about this matter, nor could she tell anyone that she had made any research.

Even if a time machine is actually built one day, one cannot take the blame for this achievement.

His idea was to attribute this achievement to the entire research lab.

Tang Yumo was slightly taken aback. The studio had been researching for so long, but had not made any breakthroughs.

Su Chen joined and made breakthroughs, even successfully developing the technology. Isn't this directly related to Su Chen?

Even if he doesn't want to admit it, can't others see it?
Su Chen naturally understood his thoughts, so she gave him a brief explanation.

Su Chen's idea is that once the research is almost complete, he will withdraw from the research, and the remaining problems will be handed over to the experts here for them to develop.

In this way, the credits would naturally go to them.

He will remain unknown, and some people may even gossip about him.

But Su Chen didn't care. In fact, he wanted to create this illusion on purpose so that people would gradually forget about him.

Su Chen insisted on this, and Tang Yumo had no choice but to follow his advice.

As soon as he stepped out of the research lab, Yuan Jingna was waiting for him not far away, and even waved at him.

After the two met, Yuan Jingna inquired about the situation from him.

Tang Yumo mysteriously said it was a secret, and Yuan Jingna didn't ask any further questions when she saw his state.

The lock must have been successfully closed, otherwise Tang Yumo wouldn't be so happy.

The two chatted briefly, and Tang Yumo told Yuan Jingna about Su Chen's idea and asked for his opinion.

Yuan Jingna had no opinion and felt that she should listen to Su Chen's opinion.

Su Chen has his own ideas, and no one should try to stop him.

Moreover, he personally believes that Su Chen should indeed be kept out of the public eye, otherwise everything will have to be researched by Su Chen.

Once any research or invention is made, everyone's attention will be focused on Su Chen, and everyone will need Su Chen to handle it, which will put some pressure on Su Chen and cause him trouble.

Tang Yumo nodded noncommittally.

Although I don't quite agree with Yuan Jingna's idea.

However, Yuan Jingna made a very good point.

Since Su Chen has made his decision, then we will support him.

Two more months passed, and Su Chen had already solved the core problem.

He convened a meeting where he announced that he would be withdrawing from the research the following day.

Upon hearing his announcement, the crowd immediately began to discuss it, not understanding why he was doing this.

He has already figured out the core issues. The remaining problems are very simple, and he doesn't even need to do any work. He just needs to be there to oversee the work so that everyone can complete the rest.

Why leave at this crucial moment?
It can be said that he has already achieved great success at this stage. He just needs to wait a little longer, and he will once again shock the world.

Su Chen's reasoning was simple: all of this was achieved through everyone's hard work, not by him alone.

This achievement should rightfully be awarded to their entire team.

He has solved most of the problems, and he believes that everyone can handle the remaining ones.

Therefore, he decided to study something else.

For a moment, no one knew what to say, and no one could dissuade Su Chen.

The next day, Su Chen left the research lab.

At the same time, he called Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna to his side and briefly explained the matter to them.

They were also instructed not to release any information to the outside world during this period.

They said their research was unsuccessful.

After some time, they announced their withdrawal.

He would leave and wait a while before announcing that they had developed the core technology and would proceed with the next stage of research.

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, the two immediately understood his intentions.

This is about giving away all the credit.

Tang Yumo and Yuan Jingna exchanged a glance, both feeling that what they were doing was inappropriate.

It was clearly Su Chen who researched it, but the credit was given to someone else.

Putting aside whether the experts are willing or not, even if they were, would others believe them?

Even if everyone believes it, what if experts can't come up with similar results in the future?
If someone asks the experts to explain how they developed the core technology, how do they explain it to others?

This is not a problem that can be solved by simply looking at the data. (End of Chapter)
