Super technology leader

“Yo, I'm here again.”

Tang Chao, carrying a large schoolbag, suddenly appeared from the air inside the spacecraft assembly building.

Then, a small green person, wobbling while carrying several rolls of blue design drawings, crashed into his leg.

“Bang~”

The small green person was knocked back two steps, and the design drawings fell.

Tang Chao didn't feel good either; his leg hurt.

Don't underestimate these little things. Although they are less than 80 centimeters tall, they weigh 50 kilograms, which is not light at all.

“Hiss~”

Tang Chao bent over and rubbed his leg in pain. The small green person was stunned at first, as if not understanding why they suddenly ran into a wall while walking. Later, they looked up and recognized Tang Chao, their big BOSS.

Tang Chao didn't blame the small green person, after all, he appeared suddenly, and no one would expect it. But the small green person looked up at him, screamed, and… ran away.

“Ah~”

“Bass, ka da na na~”

With this shout, the small green people busy with other things also noticed Tang Chao, but this time it was different from the enthusiastic welcome last time. The small green people screamed and scattered in all directions.

Some stumbled in their panic and bumped into each other, then got up and continued running.

In the end, Tang Chao was left alone in the empty assembly building, in a mess.

“……”

“What… what does this mean?”

Fortunately, an engineering vehicle soon drove in from the entrance, and the sound of “Bass, Bass” could be heard from far away.

Tang Chao thought the voices of the small green people all sounded the same, so he didn't recognize who it was, but he guessed it was Werner who could do this.

When the car got closer, sure enough, it was the familiar flat head, glasses, mustache, and white coat.

“BOSS, welcome to inspect the assembly building again.”

After the car stopped, Werner spoke first before Tang Chao could say anything.

And as soon as he spoke, Tang Chao noticed something different.

“Chinese?”

Werner heard this, pressed a button on his left earpiece, and then grinned and nodded.

Then he pressed a button and said a sentence in Canxing language. After speaking, he pressed the bottom button, and a clear Canxing-accented Chinese translation came out from inside.

“Yes, BOSS, we have completed the task you assigned.”

“Not bad,” Tang Chao happily patted Werner's head, “You guys did a really good job. Keep up the good work!”

Werner seemed very happy to be patted on the head by Tang Chao.

Don't be fooled by his beard and age over 150; his mental age is probably that of a ten-year-old child.

As for the others, the mental age is probably even younger.

They said a few words, and Tang Chao found that the translation system was okay to use, but it was a bit delayed, it was still manual delay.

Before speaking, you have to press the recording button first, and then press it again after you finish speaking, because you need to confirm the translation content, and then press the translation button to translate.

“It's okay, except it's a bit slow and the vocabulary is not enough.”

Tang Chao nodded, expressing satisfaction with the progress. After giving them the data, it should be even better next time.

While the two were talking, the small green people who had run out earlier returned, and each green head was wearing an earpiece.

Seeing Tang Chao's confusion, Werner explained that this was his order.

Because Canxing has an environment for using Chinese characters, but they don't know the pronunciation, the translation system was very simple to make and was completed in a few hours.

After the translation system was successfully developed, Werner ordered everyone to wear translation earpieces to ensure that BOSS could communicate smoothly with every small green person, but Tang Chao came too suddenly, and everyone was not ready.

The reason they collectively ran away when they saw Tang Chao was just to get the upgraded earpieces.

After resolving this confusion, before he could put down his schoolbag, Werner invited him into the car.

“BOSS, let's go see the rocket launch!”

Ah, Tang Chao became energetic when he heard this.

He didn't talk to Werner about the experiment anymore. He got into the car first.

The small green people love to watch rocket launches the most, and Tang Chao also likes it. He didn't have the opportunity to get too close when he was on Earth. He recently watched the Long March 5 Y3 launch on the beach next to the Binhai launch site.

Now he is the BOSS of the Canxing Aerospace Center, and it's no problem to watch the rocket launch from the VIP box!

However, after arriving at the dedicated observation point by car, he found that the situation was a bit… different from what he thought.

On the launch pad was not the space shuttle he named to clear out of inventory, but a small rocket with a height of no more than ten meters.

The overall rocket had the familiar black and white color scheme, using a solid rocket engine, topped with a conical command module, without even a fairing.

That's not all. There were also several small rockets lying on the open space next to it, of different sizes, but the longest was no more than ten meters. Fortunately, there were both solid and liquid engines.

He looked puzzled, so he asked Werner, and Werner's answer made him even more speechless.

According to this chief rocket engineer, these were test contracts from some companies and organizations.

For example, the small rocket standing on the launch pad was carrying some scientific research instruments to analyze the differences in the atmospheric conditions of "New Canxing," which was related to the direction of their future research and development of new engines, new materials, and new rocket structures.

It also undertakes the task of the "World First Record Keeping Association": to make the rocket fly in the sky of New Canxing with existing engines.

As the name suggests, this association wants to compete for first place in everything, no matter what the situation is.

By the way, this task of "flying old rockets to new skies" is a chain task. Every time a specified height is reached, the World First Record Keeping Association will give money.

The initial task did not require entering orbit, so just find any rocket.

This rocket can be regarded as multi-tasking, completing several contracts in one launch, and the remaining rockets lying on the ground are purely… scams.

A certain company's contract was to have the Aerospace Center test the operating conditions of their company's existing rocket engines in the new world, whether they would explode because they did not comply with the rules of the new world.

What about the Aerospace Center?

Testing, but only adding a little bit of fuel. The engine just lies on the ground, and a spark or two seconds of spraying is considered a completed test.

The test result is still safe, but the thrust is a bit small relative to the new world, and it is recommended to develop a high-thrust engine.

It's not that the thrust has become smaller for no reason, but that the difficulty of entering orbit in New Canxing has increased, and the efficiency of small-thrust engines is not good.

Also, a certain company specified that the engine test must be in the air.

This cannot lie on the ground, but only needs to be loaded with a little fuel, and a frame is built to hang the engine up.

Then, those companies determined that the contract was completed, and the money was immediately transferred to the Aerospace Center's account!

Black, so black!

How can my aerospace center be so black?

Is there any law?

Until Werner said: This is a tradition, a record from the database. BOSS used to do this, saying it was to obtain as much profit as possible at the minimum cost.

“……”

Tang Chao thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it was really his fault, because he liked this kind of "money-giving" contract when he played games before.

Okay, he suddenly realized that he was really a good BOSS who knows how to be frugal and can create more revenue.

And those companies should also be urged to develop high-thrust engines instead of always using these small-thrust engines.

Big is good!

Therefore, these small-thrust engines will not be used in the future. There is no need to waste resources for testing.

Well, praise the wise self!

While they were talking, the rocket on the launch pad took off. Watching the rocket launch from such a close distance, even if it is a small rocket ten meters long, is shocking enough.

The rocket dragged a long plume of smoke and flew higher and higher, soon exceeding the 3,000-meter height specified in the contract, and then…

“Bang——”

It exploded.

The sudden explosion stunned the small green people below, including Tang Chao.

But soon they found that an "umbrella flower" unfolded in the sky, and the small green people cheered immediately.

“ohhhhhhh!”

“waaaaa!”

“Wu ka wu ka!”

“……”

Looking at the excited small green people, Tang Chao was a little speechless. Although the contract was completed, the command module didn't seem to be damaged, and the small green people inside should be fine, but there was no need to cheer so early, right?

At least they should wait for the command module to land safely and confirm that the small green people inside are okay before cheering, right?

Then Werner told him: Sorry, the cockroach-like small green people are just so willful.

PS: It's almost time to get in the zone.
