Super technology leader

The boss is out of seclusion!

This was the impression of some employees at Navigator Company who often saw Tang Chao.

The boss lived and ate at the company, and the white villa by the sea was his residence.

Although Tang Chao, the big boss, often disappeared from the company, the employees knew the reason. Usually, he was either in seclusion doing research or out attending meetings. But this time, the employees had a different subjective feeling.

Since the company's establishment, it had never made a mistake. Every launch mission was a success. But this time, equipment worth billions was launched to Mars, and now, apart from the "mothership" module still in Mars orbit, the landing probe modules were confirmed to have lost contact.

The key point was that it wasn't even a technical issue. It wasn't that the technology wasn't good enough and it crashed during landing, nor was it that it encountered months-long sandstorms that caused power outages.

In the beginning, Navigator still maintained its record of success, but every employee remembered the mission—to contact aliens.

Employees are normal people, so they also have the usual excitement, hesitation, fear, and other emotions. Moreover, since it concerned their company's equipment and reputation, they were also very nervous.

As a result, as some people expected, or rather, the subsequent plot didn't deviate from the settings of some science fiction movies.

Humans courting death + alien attack.

Their equipment worth billions was just gone like that.

Although the equipment landed successfully at first, and the Mars rover and helicopter separated smoothly and operated normally, they ultimately lost contact due to the aliens' actions.

Which is equivalent to mission failure.

Fortunately, they weren't the first. In the beginning, the aliens messed with the Merica's Mars rover, and from the final video images obtained, that Mars rover had been dismantled.

But it still hurt, after all, Merica's Mars rover was from many years ago, and their equipment was the latest, and record-breaking.

Too bad.

So, in their opinion, when the boss disappeared from people's sight at this time, whether he was said to be "analyzing details" or "in seclusion doing research", there must be a component of sadness.

Now that the big boss is out, I wonder what his mood is like, and whether he has adjusted his mood for the better?

As for Tang Chao, he was in a very good mood.

Don't look at the fact that only a few days have passed on Earth, and it's December, but he stayed on Kerbin for a full two months.

During these two months, he flashed around on Kerbin, saw all kinds of freshly baked technologies in various companies and research institutions, and also took Kerbin's most advanced nuclear fusion spacecraft to tour the Kerbala star system, touched several black obelisks, and obtained ultra-high temperature and ultra-low temperature related protection technologies, including energy protection technology and solid material protection technology, as well as flight technology in ultra-complex atmospheric environments.

Currently, Kerbin's most advanced spacecraft fly quite fast, and the flight time within the planetary system is already calculated in days. If the distance between star systems wasn't measured in light-years, he might have gone to the neighboring star system for a spin.

But even so, there are still two planets in the Kerbala star system where the black obelisks have not been found.

One is the second Kerbin next to Jool, and their model is a bit like Jupiter and Europa in the solar system, but from the nickname "second Kerbin", it can be known that its environment should be quite good.

If you use a more similar planetary system for comparison, it's probably like the gas giant Polyphemus and the satellite Pandora in the movie "Avatar".

It is covered by dense vegetation. Kerbin has now searched all exposed places and has not found it, so it is suspected that the black obelisk is hidden in the dense forest or sea, or even directly buried underground, and is now trying every means to find it.

The other planet where the black obelisk has not been found is the outermost planet in the Kerbala star system. The exposed surface has also been searched, and there is no target, so it is also suspected to be hidden somewhere.

Of course, it's not to say that these two planets must have black obelisks, after all, there is no qualitative nature.

It's just that the previous planets all had them, so the last one should also have it.

The moon, as Kerbala's satellite, plays an important role, so there is a black obelisk, then that satellite that looks very much like Kerbala, "second Kerbin," should also have it.

Let's not talk about those for now. Now he has shifted some of his attention, and things related to pure aerospace can be slowed down, at least on the surface. So, after "coming out of seclusion," he first gathered the company's senior management together to show them what new things he had done recently.

After being a salted fish for a few days, if he doesn't do something new, he will become outdated.

As soon as they heard that Tang Chao was going to do something new, those who were gathered over were no longer sleepy.

Of course, they are not usually sleepy, after all, falling asleep in a meeting attended by the big boss is asking for trouble.

The main thing is that Tang Chao always has important things to announce every time he attends a meeting, especially when he initiates the meeting himself.

And this time, they are more curious than usual.

Although they are all senior executives, they don't know anything about their boss colluding with aliens. They all think that their equipment was really destroyed by aliens.

After all, this matter is a bit big, and Tang Chao has not told them about it. He has been contacting the four little green men from beginning to end.

It's just that when they followed the boss's summons and came to a temporary conference room, their expressions suddenly became strange.

"Ah, this..."

In the beginning, they had some preset scenarios, because the temporary conference room address given by Tang Chao was a newly opened factory building, or a corner of the factory building.

In general, at this kind of meeting, Tang Chao would always take out some new technologies and new equipment, and then push the company's aerospace technology level up a big step at once, so this time they had the same idea.

"Could it be some new aerospace technology again?"

As a result, after going inside, there was actually a row of... beds?!

"Boss, don't tell me that our next new product is a space mattress?" Chief Rocket Engineer Zhang Liyan looked at Tang Chao with a shocked expression.

"What space mattress, I think it's a bed frame made of space materials."

"What does it have to do with beds? Didn't you see the motorcycle helmets on top? It must be selling helmets!"

"Is the space suit department recently developing a new type of space suit? Could it be planning to release the same style of motorcycle helmet?"

"It's possible, sell it to the Three Brothers, the Three Brothers will definitely like this."

"What are you selling to the Three Brothers? The Three Brothers are all domestic now, they don't want foreign ones, their motorcycles are all made of aircraft carrier steel."

"Isn't that from last year? Now Merica has reopened the market to us, hasn't the Peacock Country opened yet?"

"Not yet, the Peacock Country is much more awesome than Merica. As the Little Prince of South Asia, the hegemon of the Indian Ocean, the only superpower in the South Asian subcontinent, and the most populous country in the world, they still ban us."

The senior executives of Navigator Company, except for a few older ones, are all under 35 years old, and can be said to be full of vigor.

Moreover, they also met Tang Chao, a boss who basically only cares about technology and not administration, so they are quite "relaxed and happy."

"What mattresses, bed frames, helmets, what are you all like? We are interstellar navigators, can your thinking travel a bit further?"

Tang Chao had a look of disappointment, "Now everyone put on helmets and lie down on the bed, let you see something good."

Something good?
