Seeing Niu Si's nervous reaction, Chen Yu smiled faintly. He gently patted Niu Si's shoulder and reassured him, "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. But since we're already here, we definitely have to find a way to go down and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Niu Ke's expression softened slightly, but he still hesitated: "Then... what do you plan to do?"
Chen Yu pondered for a moment and said, "We've made too much of a commotion. Let's go back and talk about it later."
Newsk agreed, saying that this was the territory of the Academy of Sciences, and if the people there discovered that he, a foreigner, was trying to spy on the top technological secrets of Great Xia, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The two climbed up the snow pit along the same route, and after a lot of effort, they got several cats and dogs out. Then they instructed several "militiamen" to camouflage the snow pit before quietly returning to the camp.
"Mr. Chen, will the cafeteria provide them with food?" After settling the cats and dogs in, Niu Si Ke was still a little worried, concerned that Chen Yu might not be willing to feed the cats and dogs he had rescued, so he asked Chen Yu again to confirm.
"Of course, Lao Niu, what kind of relationship do we have? I'll naturally give you face," Chen Yu replied with a smile.
Then, he turned to Lin Lele and instructed her, "Lele, go and tell the guys in the cafeteria to prepare more cat and dog meals starting tomorrow, the kind that are nutritionally balanced, to make sure these little guys eat healthily."
"This... there's no need for that. Just let them eat some leftovers." Niu Ke waved his hand quickly, looking a little embarrassed.
"Old Niu, the way you're talking makes it sound like our 'Tianyu Base' can't even afford to feed a few cats and dogs," Chen Yu said, feigning a complaint.
Neusk smiled wryly: "I didn't mean that, but things are different now than in peacetime. Every grain of food could potentially save a life..."
Chen Yu waved his hand, directly interrupting Niu Ke: "A cat's life and a dog's life are lives too. Besides, they are simple-minded. Give them a bite to eat, and they will never betray their owner. They are much better than raising some ungrateful wretches. Old Niu, don't you think?"
When Niu Ke heard what Chen Yu said, he felt something was off, as if it was implying something. He smiled awkwardly and didn't reply.
"Alright, Lao Niu, stop overthinking it." Chen Yu patted Niu Si's shoulder again and laughed. "Let's hurry up and plan our next move. Although we couldn't go down and investigate directly this time, we still made some new discoveries. We need to make good use of this information and formulate a more comprehensive plan."
Upon hearing this, Niu Ke also put aside his distracting thoughts and nodded seriously.
He knew that Chen Yu no longer trusted him. If he didn't show more initiative, not only would the cats and dogs he had taken in today be in danger, but he himself might not survive either.
So, Musk began to devote himself fully to the next action plan. He used his extensive knowledge and experience in the field of technology to conduct an in-depth analysis of the exhaust port structure he had seen earlier.
After discussing with Chen Yu, a relatively reliable initial plan was formulated:
Micro-drones carrying high-definition cameras and sensors are used to enter underground spaces through exhaust vents for preliminary reconnaissance. If there are obstacles below, robot dogs are needed to physically clear them.
Only proceed with the next step after ensuring the safety of the area below.
Chen Yu had all the necessary miniature drones and robot dogs readily available, but they still needed to be modified to ensure the plan went smoothly.
Chen Yu naturally entrusted this arduous task to Niu Ke.
For the sake of convenience, he specially made a small mobile processing container for this trip, which was placed on the convoy's supply vehicle. It should be no problem for Neumann to modify drones and robot dogs.
However, the renovation will eventually take some time and cannot be completed in just a few days.
Chen Yu wasn't in a hurry, since the matter at the Academy of Sciences wasn't finished yet, and he could afford to wait.
For some reason, he now had a strong premonition that this science and technology institute might have two systems: one was the science and technology institute on the surface, and the other was a secret underground laboratory.
It is highly likely that the people on the surface have no idea about the existence of the underground secret laboratory.
The things being researched in the underground laboratory are even more advanced than the "artificial sun device".
After all, given the old-fashioned nature of the Great Xia, they always reveal one skill while keeping another hidden. They never easily show off their advanced trump cards. Since the "artificial sun device" has been displayed in such a high-profile manner, there must be something even more advanced hidden away.
The reason for this speculation is that since the mysterious energy device has been put into use but not used, but instead serves the underground laboratory, it must mean that the experiment below is more important and has already yielded considerable results.
This trip to the Academy of Sciences is very likely to bring him unexpected gains.
Ahem! Of course, Chen Yu wasn't someone who undermined the country; he was simply trying to pool resources to better save human civilization.
As the saying goes, unity is strength, and it is impossible to defeat this natural disaster by fighting alone.
This natural disaster cannot be solved by a single technological breakthrough; rather, it requires a major leap forward in technology across all aspects to offer any hope of survival.
Moreover, he had obtained proper official procedures. He not only received an appointment from a military region but also authorization from the Baqing Municipal Government. In a sense, he also represented the organization.
Moreover, judging from the attitude of his "militia" members, he has a broad base of support among the masses. Whether in public or private matters, he stands on the high ground!
If one day in the future, the Great Xia Dynasty regains its glory, he can hand over the resources he controls to the country.
Anyway, that's what Chen Yu thought in his heart, so he did these things without any psychological pressure.
…………
Over the next few days, Chen Yu took Lin Lele to the science and technology institute every day, chatting with the retired employees about everyday matters and boasting, while also subtly inquiring about the underground laboratory.
However, they came up empty-handed. Judging from their expressions, they seemed genuinely unaware of the matter. Moreover, they told Chen Yu and his companion that the institute was currently facing a severe energy shortage to maintain the research on the "artificial sun device," making it impossible to use the energy elsewhere.
This made Chen Yu even more convinced of his own thoughts: this science and technology institute was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
