Super technology leader

“I feel like this location is great for building a villa, and it needs to have a workshop. I want to build power armor in there, the really cool kind.”

“And next to it, let's have a big factory building. I want to build mecha inside, the really impressive kind.”

“……”

Watching Tang Chao point at the design and imagine the future, Zhao Li on the opposite side looked solemn.

If anyone else said that, he would just listen, but when Tang Chao said it, he not only had to listen but also remember it and report it to his superiors afterward.

Power armor and mecha, these two things sound very sci-fi, but they already have prototypes.

Especially power armor, its simplified version, the powered exoskeleton, already has many prototypes. Although there are still various problems and limitations to overcome, it also represents its broad future.

Thinking of the technologies he had previously traded with Tang Chao, he couldn't be sure that Tang Chao was just talking nonsense.

If what Tang Chao said was true, then… he really wanted another round of trading.

Mecha or something was out of the question, too big and not practical, but power armor was a top-notch good thing.

Of course, if he could really build mecha, he… his bespectacled team members would really like it. As the captain, he would just watch from the side!

Just watch!

Stare!

If the team members respected the captain and wanted him to try it out, he would reluctantly give it a go.

Of course, this would be based on Tang Chao having these technologies and trading them again.

No, he had to report to his superiors as soon as he got back. The thought of being able to pilot a mecha was just too exciting.

Over there, Tang Chao and Chen Jing were still looking at the simple diagram.

“Oh, the spacecraft production plant is over here, this is the control tower and runway, and the training and service center is over here…”

“The experts’ designs are really good,” Tang Chao said with a sigh, then looked at Zhao Li, “But you guys came up with this design too fast, didn't you?”

Zhao Li heard this and said, “This blueprint is from the Tianxia Aerospace Architectural Design and Research Institute. Several domestic space launch centers and production bases were designed by them. They also have facilities for future research, so many buildings have ready-made plans that can be put together.”

“Of course, what you see now is just a conceptual design. They still need to conduct on-site surveys and ask for your opinions before deciding on the location of each building. It will probably take a month to produce accurate drawings.”

Tang Chao understood.

Alright, it's another month. If Earth had the time difference of Kerbin, he could be testing high-thrust rocket engines in his own company right now.

But getting the design in a month is actually very fast, so he should be content.

At 12 noon, they returned to the city center.

A day's itinerary was actually completed in two hours. Tang Chao was really a time-saving expert.

Back in the city center, the helicopter landed directly on the rooftop helipad of a high-rise building.

Don't ask, just know that he has the authority.

They took the elevator down to the ground and then took a taxi to the nearest restaurant.

Tang Chao paid for this lunch because he had made another billion yuan in the early hours of the morning.

After deducting the one hundred million yuan of registered capital that Chen Jing had allocated to start the company, he now had nineteen billion yuan.

Plus his original savings, he had nineteen billion and several tens of thousands yuan.

Now he had the funds to hold an amateur rocket competition, and the fifth-place prize couldn't be five yuan anymore, it was too stingy.

Raise it to ten yuan!

He also had the money to make a heavy industrial sci-fi movie. Digital special effects would be used, physical special effects would also be used, and he would focus on the script and acting, striving for perfection.

He could also produce a high-quality animated film to fulfill his animation dream from college. This animated film would directly aim for the industry benchmark.

Speaking of the amateur rocket competition, it couldn't be done just by their company, it also needed to be registered with some relevant departments.

Since there was a representative here, Tang Chao talked about it while eating.

“Holding an amateur rocket competition in the country?”

“Yes, Star Navigator Company has been established, and the company's site is also being prepared, so we need to make a name for ourselves.”

Tang Chao nodded, and then said earnestly, “Isn't the Space Law coming out soon? Please help me ask the Space Administration if they can come out and support the event. After all, this competition can also enhance the domestic aerospace atmosphere. Let them show their face so that people don’t always say that this can’t be done and that can’t be done, restricting the development of the aerospace industry.”

“……”

So I have to thank you?

He looked at Chen Jing next to Tang Chao, not knowing where these words came from, but these words did point to… uh, a win-win situation.

Navigator Company paid for everything, just the prize money alone cost 20 million yuan, and the other expenses were still unknown. The Space Administration would definitely not spend money on this kind of competition.

With that money, they would have bought equipment long ago.

Of course, they didn't have that money, they weren't Aerospace Science and Technology and Aerospace Science and Industry Group.

Now someone had spent the money, and it was still a partner who had just sold the complete set of Long March 9 technology. This was doable.

And as Tang Chao said, organizing the event would be good for the Space Administration's reputation and the domestic aerospace atmosphere.

But once the Space Administration came forward, and it was an event organized by this private aerospace company, there was no controlling what others would think.

Many people would definitely think: There must be some shady dealings here!

Hey, Tang Chao would definitely not admit other things, but this time there really were shady dealings.

Zhao Li noted this down, and he would report it when he got back. According to his prediction, the superiors should agree, after all, this was indeed a win-win situation.

As for whether other private aerospace companies in the country would overthink, there was no way to control that.

Navigator, which had a deal with the country, was destined from the beginning not to be an ordinary private aerospace company.

After the meal, the two sides separated, and Tang Chao and Chen Jing took a taxi to the company.

The boss was here, so of course, they had to inspect it.

Sitting in the taxi, Tang Chao asked Chen Jing, “How come you, a general manager, don’t even buy a car? Didn’t I give you some authority to spend money?”

Chen Jing heard this and glanced at him, “I live next to the company, I even think walking is too fast, am I going to buy a car to gather dust in the garage?”

As the general manager of the company, she felt that she knew very little about the real situation of the company these days.

This was too tormenting for a general manager who needed to control all the information of the company before making the right decisions.

The two had been video chatting frequently recently, and Tang Chao really didn't look like a boss, and he was even a bit younger than her, so they quickly became familiar, so she wasn't as polite as before when she spoke.

Of course, this only meant that there was no need to be so polite between acquaintances.

“Ahem, although it’s close now, as the general manager of a company, you always have to have some face. If you go to discuss things in the future, it won’t look good if you take a taxi. Buy one, buy a higher-end one.”

“Since you are now the general manager, get that Maserati President, get this year’s new model, you are now our company’s number one face.”

Chen Jing: “……”
