Chen Mengchuan’s teams proved the key properties of Eternal Universe Particles and achieved long-distance space-time traversal as Tenzhi Technology prepared Tiansuo for its Mars mission. After Chen unveiled the ship to the world, foreign governments demanded that it be grounded and sent naval forces toward it, leaving its departure under threat.

• Chen Mengchuan’s teams completed graphene single-transistor chips, verified Eternal Universe Particle independence, and later demonstrated the particles’ remaining major properties.
• Xu Zhenglin and Zhang Ying returned safely from the Moon aboard Tenzhi 1, and Chen Mengchuan welcomed them back to Earth.
• Chen Mengchuan approved a graphene biological devices project to develop rapid DNA sequencing and investigate leukemia treatment without bone marrow transplants.
• Zhao Wanyu showed Chen Mengchuan plans for asteroid capture ships, Mars smelting plants, and a worldwide recruitment drive to staff the operation.
• Chen Mengchuan’s team successfully tested space-time traversal over nearly 4,000 kilometers and announced plans for fixed portal routes between cities.
• Chen Mengchuan unveiled Tiansuo at a major press conference, and Zhao Wanyu led visitors through its decks and ecological zones.
• Chen Mengchuan told Elon Musk that Tiansuo was intended for a Mars base, while Musk warned that governments would demand inspections and place intelligence agents aboard.
• Chen Mengchuan learned that countries were demanding Tiansuo be grounded and destroyed as the United States Seventh Fleet and South Korean Navy deployed toward it.

Chen Mengchuan led Tenzhi Technology through its departure from Earth, the construction of humanity’s first Martian base, and the launch of ambitious defense and resource projects. The Tiansuo returned to Earth, where Chen turned his attention to research that could strengthen humanity and treat Alzheimer’s disease.

• Chen Mengchuan declared Tenzhi Technology opposed Earth’s conflicts, then the Tiansuo defeated the Seventh Fleet after its commanders refused to withdraw.
• Chen Mengchuan and Zhao Wanyu launched leukemia trial treatments, while Chen’s crew departed for Mars and developed a terraforming plan.
• The crew mapped Mars, built Six Flames Palace at Luoyu Crater, and brought the first group of humans down to the planet.
• Chen Mengchuan ordered an early-warning defense system and research into source-point ring displacement technology, while Tenzhi Technology invited scientists to a Martian summit.
• The Mars teams began building infrastructure, found a likely pitchblende uranium deposit, and successfully tested a source-point ring by cutting a polar glacier into sections for an artificial lake.
• The Tiansuo returned to Earth, where Huaxia backed cooperation with Tenzhi Technology and the company prepared to send the ship back to Mars.
• Chen Mengchuan reunited with Zhao Wanyu, discussed the recovering leukemia patients, and proposed research into precise DNA sequencing and an Alzheimer’s treatment that could extend elderly people’s lives.

Chen Mengchuan expanded Tenzhi Technology’s Mars operations, gathered resources, and recruited support for plans to defend humanity from extraterrestrial threats. After returning to Earth, he advanced Lingkong 5.0 and proposed an orbital solar-power network as a step toward greater political integration.

• Chen Mengchuan assigned Xu Mingsheng’s team to begin DNA sequencing and Alzheimer’s research, then agreed to cooperate with Li Zhongxia on wireless power and combat gravity mechs.
• Chen Mengchuan prepared plasma weapons and a joint combat-mech program, then led the Tiansuo to Mars with summit attendees and workers for the base.
• Chen Mengchuan welcomed the summit guests to the Martian base and presented plans for Solar System exploration and defense, while Li Shuo’s crew began capturing a metallic asteroid.
• Xu Shuwei’s team found vast uranium and diamond deposits on Mars, and Chen Mengchuan proposed powerful probes to explore the outer planets.
• Chen Mengchuan’s team landed the captured asteroid on Mars and demonstrated cutting it into hundreds of pieces, then he invited Marshall to help develop antimatter weapons.
• Chen Mengchuan publicized Tenzhi Technology’s asteroid resources as Zhao Wanyu exposed threats against its leaders, helped authorities arrest terrorists, and acquired shares in mining groups.
• Chen Mengchuan returned to Earth and told Zhao Wanyu that Tenzhi Technology would keep acquiring resources and pursue exploration beyond the Solar System.
• Mao Xingxing reported that Lingkong 5.0 had transmitted power over 3,109 kilometers, and Chen Mengchuan approved a twelve-station orbital solar-power project with a three-month target for its first station.

Chen Mengchuan expanded Tenzhi Technology’s network and brought researchers and resources to Mars, where teams began developing new weapons and exploring Europa. The Europa expedition found evidence that strengthened hopes of life beneath the ice, while the antimatter team captured antiprotons and began planning a weapon.

• Chen Mengchuan arranged for Tenzhi Technology to help China build ten anti-gravity aircraft carriers and secured the release of François Englert, who left Belgium for Huaxia with his wife and grandson.
• Chen Mengchuan and Zhao Wanyu announced plans for twelve orbital solar power stations, then returned to Mars with nearly a hundred thousand reserve personnel and Huaxia officials.
• Chen Mengchuan established weapons research bases on Mars, began development of a medium Plasma Cannon, and assigned Xu Shuwei to lead a Solar System early-warning defense system.
• Chen Mengchuan chose Europa for exploration, and the Edge of Sui Star No. 1 reached the moon with insulated equipment and Multi-Arm Crabs.
• Zhang Dongyu landed Edge of Sui Star No. 1 on Europa, where the team detected oxygen and began drilling through the ice while researchers discussed the possibility of subsurface life.
• Chen Mengchuan considered whether humanity’s signals could have attracted the aliens he had envisioned wiping out humanity, and resolved himself to the possibility that humans had caused their own destruction.
• Chen Mengchuan learned that Europa’s layered ice, varying salt content, and signs of tectonic subduction strengthened hopes for life in its underground ocean.
• Marshall told Chen Mengchuan that his team had captured antiprotons and developed a preliminary antimatter beam weapon concept, with a first-generation weapon expected within six months to a year.
