Chapter 996
Schadenfreude!
Tang Yumo didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Because they often encounter problems they can't solve, they go to Su Chen for help, but Su Chen isn't always able to resolve them.
Of course, he can solve most problems, but that has nothing to do with Tang Yuxin's abilities.
Since Tang Yuxin was unwilling, Tang Yumo did not force her, and even felt a little schadenfreude.
He wanted to see how his sister would solve this problem without Su Chen's help.
If he can solve this problem on his own, it will naturally prove his ability.
Several days have passed.
Tang Yuxin discovered that the experts couldn't figure it out at all; they couldn't cut the rock.
They couldn't even get the detection machine to work.
With no other option, he went to Tang Yumo again to discuss what to do.
Tang Yumo's solution was very simple: go to Su Chen for help.
Tang Yuxin frowned, staring at her sister with an unhappy expression, and asked her if he was deliberately trying to upset her.
Why do I turn to Su Chen every time something goes wrong? Can't he help me come up with other solutions?
Tang Yumo spread her hands, looking completely innocent.
“There’s no other solution. Even if Yuan Jingna and I were in this situation, we would go to him. If you don’t want to go to him, then you can only find a solution yourself.”
Su Chen already knew about this.
He was doing something else with Yuan Jingna that day when he learned about this and asked Yuan Jingna if she needed help.
Yuan Jingna shook her head, saying that she wanted to give Tang Yuxin some room to develop on her own.
Later, Su Chen met Tang Yumo again and learned about some of Tang Yuxin's thoughts, so he did not offer to help.
Tang Yuxin arrived at the research lab, and the experts stood up to greet him.
Tang Yuxin inquired about the work situation, and the experts all looked worried.
One of the experts said, "Why don't you let Su Chen handle this? He's usually the one who takes care of these kinds of tricky problems."
"Moreover, the instrument we are using now was originally developed by Su Chen, and we don't know much about this kind of instrument."
Tang Yuxin dared to argue with her sister, but she showed great respect for the experts.
He knew that the experts' words carried great authority, and they possessed relevant knowledge. Since they had all made this suggestion, Tang Yuxin hesitated before saying, "Alright, then you should go find him."
The experts were stunned for a moment, and no one spoke. How could they be the ones to make the request? It should be Tang Yuxin who should be the one to make the request.
They probably saw Su Chen.
The experts remained silent, so Tang Yuxin asked them what was wrong.
The leading expert chuckled, "We can't see Su Chen, and he doesn't have time to see us. You'll have to go and invite him."
Tang Yuxin scratched her head and reluctantly agreed.
He didn't want to just go looking for Su Chen like that; he wanted to achieve something.
At the very least, besides asking Su Chen for help, one should do something else, even just report on work.
But I haven't achieved anything at work yet?
Three more days passed, and under pressure from the experts, Tang Yuxin had no choice but to go see Su Chen.
Before going to Su Chen, he summarized his work and planned to report to Su Chen.
Upon arriving at Su Chen's office, Su Chen proactively inquired about his work progress and whether he had encountered any difficulties.
Tang Yuxin's face flushed slightly. She lowered her head and quietly reported her work first, and then talked about the problems they had encountered. However, she did not say that she needed Su Chen's help, but only explained the problems.
Su Chen didn't quite understand why Tang Yuxin came to him; was it just to report on her work, or did she need his help?
If she wanted his help, she should have asked, but judging from Tang Yuxin's expression, she didn't seem to be looking for help, so he didn't ask her directly.
The room fell silent.
After a long while, Tang Yuxin finally mustered up her courage and said in a low voice, "The experts really can't figure it out. Do you have some time?"
Su Chen laughed and said, "Even if I don't have time, now that you've found me, I'll find time to help you solve this problem."
He then changed the subject, saying, "However, I can't guarantee I can solve your problem. I'll take a look if I have time in the next couple of days."
Tang Yuxin breathed a sigh of relief, thanked Su Chen, and then asked him if there was anything else. If not, he went to work.
Su Chen told him to go back to work and not to put too much pressure on himself.
Although Su Chen didn't say anything, Tang Yuxin was especially happy that he agreed to help, feeling that Su Chen had treated her well so far.
After returning, he continued to have the experts work hard on their research, while he himself was busy with other tasks.
Besides the exploration work, there's more to it than that.
Just as my sister said, we can't let one thing cause us to neglect other things.
Two days later, Su Chen took some time to come to the research lab to work with the experts to develop new mining equipment.
This task posed no difficulty for Su Chen, as he had already developed some further ideas during the research and development process.
He could easily optimize the instrument.
So much time has passed, and Su Chen has never been idle.
Among his many studies, he would sometimes research related issues when he had free time, so he had planned the equipment upgrade a long time ago.
Su Chen resolved the core issue in just one day, leaving the rest to the experts.
Tang Yuxin made a special trip to the research lab in the evening, intending to ask Su Chen how his research was going and also planning to treat him to a meal.
When they arrived at the research lab, they found that Su Chen was not there; the experts were still working hard on their research.
He summoned an expert to ask what Su Chen had been up to. The expert smiled and told Tang Yuxin that Su Chen had completed the research on the core technology and left the rest to them.
Tang Yuxin was shocked; she hadn't expected Su Chen to solve the problem so easily.
He suddenly felt a pang of regret. If he had known Su Chen was so capable, he should have brought him over sooner, saving a lot of time.
No wonder my sister told me to find Su Chen from the beginning; it seems she had foresight.
Tang Yuxin sighed inwardly and asked the experts when they would be able to develop the equipment.
Experts estimate it will take about two days.
Two days later.
The newly developed mining equipment has been successfully developed.
The equipment continued to operate after it arrived at the site.
Everyone was a little nervous, unsure whether the current mining equipment could continue exploring downwards.
As the data continued to climb, everyone's worries dissipated.
As the equipment continued to probe, Tang Yuxin and her team finally made a gain, obtaining a large amount of metal.
Previously inaccessible rocks were also extracted and broken into smaller pieces. According to experts, these rocks contain various elements that contribute to their extreme hardness. They can extract these elements and fuse them with other materials to create an even harder substance.
This object can be used for many things, but because this rock is very rare, it cannot be used in large-scale construction, but it can be used in small equipment.
For example, some core equipment of a starship needs to be protected and has the best defense.
Materials made from these elements can be used in these devices for better protection.
The following period was very peaceful; nothing happened, and everyone's work proceeded smoothly without any problems.
Tang Yumo and Tang Yuxin were both in a relatively calm state. Tang Yumo was busy with her own things, while Tang Yuxin was in charge of most of the tasks.
Since there's not much going on right now, Tang Yuxin is able to manage things herself.
His main job now is to inspect various places every day. The purpose of the inspection is to ensure everyone's working environment and safety. He doesn't need to worry about anything else.
If any problems arise, someone will report to him.
Tang Yuxin will try to handle it herself first.
If he can't handle it himself, he'll go to Tang Yumo for advice, and the two of them work together quite well.
Tang Yuxin has hardly visited Tang Yumo recently, and he has been handling most things on his own.
These things may seem small, but they were actually of great help to Tang Yuxin.
Yuan Jingna was also doing her own thing.
His main responsibility was still related to plants.
Upon arriving on the new planet, he naturally began searching the place as usual, looking for traces of plant growth.
Especially deep underground, fossils and the like are very likely to be found.
Plants may be found within these fossils.
Unfortunately, so much time has passed and no findings have been made.
Yuan Jingna was not discouraged at all, because plants are inherently extremely fragile organisms.
Unlike metals, it cannot be preserved for a long time.
A plant can disappear without a trace if it is blown by the wind or exposed to the sun.
Only when a certain plant appears in large quantities will it leave some traces, and these traces may gradually disappear over time.
However, some plants may form something else due to environmental factors, thus remaining on this planet.
For example, coal mines on Earth are traces left by plants.
However, no traces of plant life have been found on this planet so far.
Yuan Jingna knew very well that it would take a long time to find any clues.
Based on their current analysis, it is possible that no plants grow on this planet.
However, Yuan Jingna wanted to plant a batch of plants in this place.
Because the environment and soil of each planet are different, the plants that grow on them are also different.
This planet has its unique characteristics, and the plants grown on it will naturally have their own unique advantages.
However, it is very difficult to grow plants in such soil.
Yuan Jingna has found an open space and set up a temporary planting base on it.
Some plants have already begun to be planted, and the seeds of these plants all come from Earth.
For example, tomatoes, potatoes, and the like.
These things are relatively easy to grow, and their growth cycle is relatively short, which allows them to conduct research more effectively.
With the addition of catalysts, they can mature in a short period of time.
Several rounds of experiments have been conducted, but the plants have not yet grown.
Yuan Jingna and the experts are discussing why the plants failed to grow and what went wrong.
Is it a soil problem, or something else?
They had already conducted some research on the soil and knew about the elements inside it.
In an effort to help plants grow, they would use fertilizers and other things to improve the soil, but the results were not good, and some even had the opposite effect.
this day.
Yuan Jingna was conducting her research when Tang Yuxin rushed over to find her, saying she had discovered something unusual underground.
Yuan Jingna immediately became interested and followed him to the scene, asking what they had discovered.
Tang Yuxin shook her head and said, "I don't really understand either. The experts said it looks like something that resembles a fossil."
"So I wanted to ask you to take a look. Aren't you an expert in this field?"
Yuan Jingna smiled sheepishly. He didn't know much about this area, but he did know about plants.
Because plants and fossils have some similarities, he has some knowledge of fossils, but there is still a gap between him and professionals.
When they arrived at the scene, experts had already begun their research. Yuan Jingna then led another group of people to conduct research and search for more traces.
After several days of digging, they unearthed some scattered fragments deep underground, with irregular objects inside these fragments.
What exactly it is remains to be studied.
Yuan Jingna took a portion of the material for research, while other experts took a portion for research.
Tang Yuxin, on the other hand, continues to be investigated.
Because something has already been unearthed, we need to be more cautious and careful during the excavation process, which makes the process relatively slow.
While they were working diligently on their side, Chen Anrong's situation was also progressing quite well.
Chen Anrong's current focus is on the academy's affairs. All personnel are now in place, and he has begun to work on the students' mindset.
There are two main aspects to learning at the university: one is the learning of professional knowledge, and the other is the learning of ideology.
Chen Anrong valued ideological learning more than professional knowledge, and gave ideological lessons to this group of people almost every day.
The purpose was to ensure that these people would work loyally for her in the future; this was Chen Anrong's main objective in building the academy.
Without this reason, he probably wouldn't have built the university.
Not everyone is swayed by Chen Anrong's words. A large number of people do not agree with Chen Anrong's ideas, and some even feel that Chen Anrong is influencing their thoughts.
Some people then proposed to withdraw.
Chen Anrong did not stop this group of people; if anyone wanted to leave, he would send them away.
She wouldn't feel comfortable leaving such a person at the base; it's better if he leaves.
However, the university has relatively few teachers, especially those specializing in academic subjects. (End of Chapter)
