Super technology leader

As the workday neared its end that afternoon, the video interviews for the day concluded, and the interviewers gathered to chat.

Selecting astronauts was no ordinary recruitment, especially as it was for the company's first batch, and the first in the entire private space industry, demanding serious attention.

Of course, this didn't include Chen Jing. As the general manager of Interstellar Pathfinder Company, and widely known as the "company head," she was too busy to join in such casual gatherings.

Her position also precluded her from being an interviewer.

Well, except for Tang Chao.

"So, did you see anyone outstanding today?" Tang Chao asked Zhang Liyan, who was sitting next to him.

"I passed two promising candidates, a female pilot and a female engineer," Zhang Liyan said, reviewing the compiled data. He shared his findings for the day.

Tang Chao immediately perked up at this, quickly searching for the two candidates Zhang Liyan had approved, all while offering his own commentary.

"Why did you only pass women? Do you have ulterior motives? I have to take a look. I need to keep an eye on you for your wife!"

Because Zhang Liyan had signed off on them, he quickly found the two women.

And indeed, both were quite attractive, one 31 years old and the other 33, just three to five years younger than Zhang Liyan.

"Tsk, tsk, both have good looks. In their early thirties, with strong physical fitness and professional skills, sound values, and an understanding of spaceflight, they're definitely enthusiasts."

"Not bad, not bad. If they can pass the final selection, they're worth nurturing."

"Of course," Zhang Liyan said with a hint of smugness, "High looks also bring prestige to the company. If they're selected, they'll be more photogenic during livestreams, which will help promote the company's image."

Then he changed the subject, "So I didn't show any favoritism. Don't go telling your sister-in-law anything, or I'll be kneeling on a keyboard when I get home."

"Haha, that last sentence is what you really wanted to say, isn't it?" Tang Chao laughed.

The Pathfinder Company team was very young. At 36, Zhang Liyan was considered old. Tang Chao, the chief designer of all projects, was basically the chief engineer.

However, they were all young people, and the company had only been established for less than a year, full of vigor, and with a lot of room for growth, so the atmosphere was quite good.

Employees generally prioritized technology, and their relationships were harmonious.

The fact that Zhang Liyan was a little afraid of his wife was known throughout the company. He didn't mind the teasing and always smiled.

Tease away, it wouldn't cost him anything.

And chatting with the youngsters made his thinning hair seem thicker again.

The overall haul for the day was indeed good, especially the international group, which had an even better haul. It wasn't that they had passed an outstanding talent, but that they had filtered out a "time bomb."

One foreigner had excellent data in all aspects, but after Li Bing interviewed him, he discovered something was wrong. After various observations and detailed analysis, Li Bing found that he was smoking weed.

And when Li Bing probed him, the other party generously admitted it, even stating that he wasn't smoking illegal drugs, just recreational marijuana, which was legal in his state.

He claimed that it could invigorate him and help him concentrate more when studying and working.

But sorry, Tian Xia has zero tolerance for that stuff. Wanting to be an astronaut with that kind of addiction? Did he plan to bring that stuff to the moon?

Nonsense!

While chatting, Zhang Liyan became curious about who Tang Chao had passed, so he looked through the list.

He found a name very familiar.

"Looks familiar, right?" Tang Chao turned to ask him.

"It does look a bit familiar," Zhang Liyan nodded, then started thinking.

"Bin Hai City... Oh, I remember, that unspeakable capture operation..."

After looking at the detailed information for a few moments, Zhang Liyan suddenly understood and said something unspeakable to Tang Chao, who returned a "you know" look.

Afterwards, Tang Chao talked to Zhang Liyan about the topics they had discussed before, and when they talked about growing crops on the moon, Zhang Liyan became very interested.

Seriously, Tian Xia people have a very magical sense of identity with farming. They feel uncomfortable if they don't plant something on a good piece of land.

Not just older people, because they experienced famine and knew the importance of food, but now young people are also increasingly fond of these things.

It seems to be etched into their genes.

Although you shouldn't etch everything into genes, farming is something that really can be, the deeper the better.

Rural people not only plant in their vegetable gardens, but also in their yards.

A nice flower bed, watch, in less than two years it will become a vegetable patch.

Most people in the city don't have a yard, so they plant in flower pots on the balcony, or even directly on the roof.

If they don't have the conditions in reality, they still plant in games.

How many survival games where you're supposed to starve to death have been turned into farming games where you can't finish all the food by Tian Xia people.

They plant on large pieces of land, and on small islands. And even if the island is too small, they have to expand the island to enrich the garrison's vegetable basket.

Of course, this requires the magical abilities of nature.

The newest novels are first published at six nine book bar!

Finally, they are not satisfied with planting on Earth, but also plant in the Tiangong-2 space laboratory.

Even on the moon, Ma Da's teacher and senior brothers and sisters allowed seeds to sprout.

The first sprout had already appeared, but after entering the lunar night, the cold took their lives.

This won't do. They must plant more to relieve the depression in their hearts!

Since they were acquaintances, and his expertise was indeed good, it wasn't a problem to pass him. This was just the interview stage. The second interview stage would involve specific training to see if he was suitable. If he wasn't, he would still be eliminated.

Looking at those names, Tang Chao really felt that the company was getting on the right track.

Seriously, he didn't think launching unmanned equipment was anything great. These things ultimately had to serve humanity. Without people in space, it was meaningless.

It's just that many things are rushed. It's not like if you arrange a plan, your plan will definitely be carried out smoothly. Most things in the world are sudden.

Now that was good. Starting with recruiting astronauts, things had finally returned to his original plan.

He wouldn't be involved in the subsequent selection. As the big boss, he would just try it once for fun. After trying it once and finding it uninteresting, he wouldn't do it again.

And speaking of sudden events, he felt he should go to Kerbin for a trip. To deal with sudden events, he had left a lot of homework for the little green men over there.

Now it was time to check on it.

He hadn't been out for a long time. After the pandemic, the world had entered a period of rapid recovery. Various activities that had been cancelled or postponed, plus the activities that were starting this year, were endless.

The international scene was lively, but he could only stay in the country, which was too depressing.

If he was just a normal genius scientist, it would be fine. You can't argue with the inevitable, and it's most important to save your life. Staying in the country honestly wasn't impossible, but he was someone with a golden finger.

Anyway, he had read a lot of online novels, and he had never seen anyone with a golden finger so suffocated.

The world was so big, and he was very humble. He never thought he was superior, nor did he think he was the protagonist of the world, but having such ability and being stuck in the country was absolutely unacceptable.

However, precisely because he cherished his life, he suppressed it for the time being, waiting for the Kerbals to produce something that could save his life at any time according to the homework he left behind, and then he could go out and have fun.

The world was so big, and he really wanted to see it.

He couldn't wait until he entered space and ate lunar vegetables on the moon, and he hadn't even been to a few countries on Earth.

However, he didn't expect that when he entered Kerbin, before he could ask how the homework he had left behind was going, Wernher had major news to tell him.

"BOSS, BOSS, we have discovered a major secret of the black monoliths on Kerbin, the Moon, and Duna!"

Cough, it's the last day of June, only one update, everyone take a break, the diligent July will make up for it.
