Chapter 278 New Ideas
The surprise segment for the Dragon Kingdom's Spring Festival Gala had concluded.
The thrilling and world-shaking segment had come to an end!
Subsequently, the Spring Festival Gala program gradually drew to a close amidst the host's deeply emotional farewell.
The bustle on the stage gradually dissipated, but Su Chen's work here continued!
There was no sign of stopping at all.
At this moment, he was sitting in the command room, surrounded by various advanced instruments and equipment, with data and surveillance footage constantly flickering on the screens.
He stared at them with complete focus, monitoring the operation of the Nuclear Fusion Power Grid at all times.
This was the key to the nation's, and potentially the world's, future energy supply; not a single moment of carelessness could be tolerated.
At the same time, he had to carefully collect various data for subsequent analysis and research, and more importantly, be able to detect and respond to any unexpected situations immediately.
In order to perfectly display that eye-catching surprise segment during the Spring Festival Gala, Su Chen had truly been exhausted for many days during this period.
His body was already worn out, and his mind had been in a state of high tension.
After everything was mostly done, he finally had some time to relax!
Because he was too tired, his heavy eyelids closed uncontrollably!
Drowsiness washed over him like a tide, and he soon drifted into a light sleep.
Until he felt a warmth on his body, as if he were wrapped in a gentle furnace.
He woke up groggily and opened his eyes to take a look!
He discovered that it was Elder Qin, who was carefully draping his military overcoat over him.
"Sorry, Comrade Su Chen, I woke you up!"
Elder Qin looked guilty, and as he watched Su Chen's slightly weary face, a trace of heartache appeared in his eyes.
He had seen Su Chen's hard work over these past few days.
Moreover, he truly discovered that Su Chen was just like the rumors said—a real workaholic.
The seriousness and dedication he showed toward his work were truly admirable.
Elder Qin's generation also had a drive when they were young, but he asked himself, he still couldn't compare to Su Chen!
He couldn't help but feel moved; among the young people he knew, there were truly few who were as talented and as hardworking as Su Chen!
Su Chen rubbed his eyes, yawned, and hurriedly said:
"It's fine, Elder Qin, it's my duty."
As he spoke, he wanted to return the overcoat to Elder Qin, adding:
"You should wear it, Elder Qin; I'm sturdy and not afraid of the cold."
Elder Qin chuckled, but insisted that Su Chen keep it on, saying:
"If it weren't for the fact that your position is irreplaceable, I would have wanted you to go and get some proper rest."
"Little Chen, you've really worked hard!"
Elder Qin's words were absolutely true; the work Su Chen shouldered was far too important.
Currently, he was indeed the only one capable of overseeing the entire Nuclear Fusion Power Grid.
If there had been anyone else who could replace him on duty here, Elder Qin would have arranged for him to get some proper rest long ago; he wouldn't have been willing to let him stay up like this.
"If you can't go on, take another nap. I'll keep watch, and if anything happens, I'll call you."
Elder Qin said with concern again, his tone full of thoughtfulness, just like an elder taking care of his own child.
Su Chen stretched, feeling his energy recover a bit, and said:
"It's fine, Elder Qin, I'm not sleepy anymore."
"It's mainly because I was thinking about some good things just now; it was so wonderful that I fell asleep while thinking about it."
Su Chen's words immediately piqued Elder Qin's interest, and he asked curiously:
"What good things? Tell this old man about them!"
His eyes were filled with eagerness, as if he were a child hearing about something new and fun.
Su Chen didn't hide anything; he turned his head to look at the window!
His gaze pierced through the glass, looking toward the vast and boundless sky, his eyes full of longing.
His voice slowly sounded:
"I was thinking, now that the construction work for the Eternal Day Project and the Aerospace Carrier is complete!"
"And with the Aerospace Carrier and Space Mecha, we now have the conditions for interstellar exploration!"
"I am now preparing to steer our domestic technology toward the direction of farming, striving to create the conditions for extraterrestrial farming."
Upon hearing this, Elder Qin immediately felt the hot blood of his youth boiling within him again!
Extraterrestrial farming????
Are we already reaching this step so quickly?
He was incredibly excited, but still somewhat incredulous:
"Really? Little Chen! Can we really farm on extraterrestrial planets? This was something we didn't even dare to imagine in the past!"
"Although there have been experiments with farming on extraterrestrial planets before, none were on a large scale. Do you mean you are preparing to conduct technological trials for large-scale cultivation?"
Elder Qin's voice trembled slightly with excitement; he knew deeply what extraterrestrial farming meant!
This was not just an expansion of the agricultural field, but also a crucial step for humanity as it steps toward interstellar exploration and opens up new homes!
Elder Qin immediately patted his chest and said:
"Good, Little Chen, go ahead and do it boldly! This is a major event that will benefit humanity; no matter what, we will support you!"
Those firm words undoubtedly gave Su Chen great encouragement and confidence.
With Elder Qin's words, Su Chen felt much more at ease. However, he also knew clearly that although he already possessed a considerable amount of technology, truly implementing extraterrestrial farming would require overcoming some key technical challenges.
Now he had to find ways to solve these technical difficulties.
The current Su Chen was no longer in the state where he had to rely entirely on the system to develop new technologies!
After all, the technology provided by the system contained a series of complete theoretical knowledge.
By constantly digesting this knowledge, combining it with relevant theories from other technological fields, and then processing and integrating it through his own clever brain, it was actually very easy to develop new technological achievements.
Therefore, Su Chen was prepared to rely on this accumulated knowledge base to explore the key technologies for extraterrestrial farming.
It was just that this was not a simple matter, after all; it would require a lot of time and energy to study.
After all, compared to obtaining ready-made technology directly from the system, exploring and developing it himself would not be as fast!
"It's a pity; it would be better if we could obtain some relevant blueprints from the Americans."
Su Chen thought to himself, but he also knew that this idea was truly unrealistic; how could he expect them to voluntarily send over the blueprints he needed!
"How could such a good thing happen?"
Su Chen shook his head helplessly!
However, this only strengthened his determination to rely on his own strength to overcome the technical difficulties.
Thinking of all this, he suddenly didn't feel sleepy anymore!
His whole body was once again filled with drive!
