"But I don’t need to eat."
Mo Jingchun paused, looking at Zero with a face full of surprise.
"You mean you want to go inspect the equipment by yourself?"
"No problem! I wholeheartedly agree!"
Zero looked at the boss with disbelief, such shameless words, yet the boss said it without shame.
If she wanted to inspect the equipment alone, would she really wait till now? Wouldn’t the meeting time have been perfect?
"Boss, that’s not what I meant."
With that, Zero quickened her pace to catch up.
In the spacious cafeteria, there were less than a thousand employees eating.
Sitting inside to eat actually felt quite desolate.
Fortunately, the cafeteria’s food was quite good, following the chef style of Candy Science and Technology Park.
Watching Su Wenyan’s indifferent expression, Mo Jingchun was afraid she wouldn’t endure and leave, so he spoke to comfort her:
"Old Su, don’t look at the few people now, in half a year, this cafeteria will be crowded during meal times."
"By then, your role as the chief responsible will truly be deserved."
Eating braised pork, Su Wenyan raised her eyebrows and said, "Boss, are you worried I can’t endure the solitude and might leave?"
"Boss, that’s where you’re wrong. Boss, think about it, I’ve survived the hardest and toughest days, how could I now change position?"
"Oh? Well, that’s good to hear."
"Haha, boss, you’ve admitted you’re worried I might leave."
"Not really. Let’s eat, let’s eat."
Su Wenyan smiled complacently, just like she said, she had endured the toughest days one by one, how could she suddenly let go now.
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Besides, the most important thing is, Su Wenyan was tired of the days of constant business trips or being on the way to one.
At the dining table, Zero, sitting next to Mo Jingchun, had been holding an egg for over ten minutes.
In just a moment of carelessness, the egg in her hand disappeared.
Mo Jingchun peeled off the eggshell and stuffed it into his mouth in one bite.
"Eggs are for eating, not for playing."
"Seeing how bored you are, perhaps you should handle the stamping work tomorrow instead."
Zero was stunned for a moment, then exposed two sharp little tiger teeth and said fiercely:
"I don’t want to do such mechanical repetitive work."
Mo Jingchun spread his hands helplessly and said, "See, it’s difficult."
"If I don’t give you work, you’re bored. If I do, you have issues with it. It’s tough being the boss."
Zero turned her head and said, "Hmph~ I’m going back to continue studying the star map."
At this time, Su Wenyan asked curiously:
"Star map? What star map? Sounds quite lofty."
Upon hearing this, Mo Jingchun chuckled lightly and said, "Don’t listen to Zero’s nonsense. It’s not some star map. She’s just using the supercomputer resources out of boredom to study images of outer space."
"She’s been researching for over a year and hasn’t found anything."
"I thought Zero had given up, but she’s still persisting."
Mo Jingchun’s explanation only made Su Wenyan more curious.
"So Zero, why insist on studying those outer space images? With your capabilities, why not research new products?"
Zero posed confidently and said, "Our dream is the Sea of Stars!"
Looking at Zero’s quirky demeanor, Mo Jingchun shifted uncomfortably as if he didn’t know her.
Zero’s quirky behavior successfully amused Su Wenyan.
However, Su Wenyan quickly saw through it, realizing Zero was bluffing.
One could only say the boss and Zero must be up to something.
If Mo Jingchun knew Su Wenyan’s thoughts, he would admire her immensely.
Zero wasn’t really aiming for the "Sea of Stars", but rather to validate a long-held hypothesis of Mo Jingchun.
After so long without discovery, Mo Jingchun had already dismissed the threat from outer space.
It’s simple logic; if there’s a meteor threatening Blue Star, then the developed countries led by Beautiful Country would have discovered it.
Were it not for the content discussed privately with his teacher on their deathbed, Mo Jingchun would have long stopped considering the "ticket" seriously.
Putting these thoughts aside, Mo Jingchun downed his drink.
Seeing everyone had finished eating, Mo Jingchun was the first to stand up.
"Let’s go."
Standing at the mountain top, Mo Jingchun bundled up against the cold wind, and in a sudden clarity, he understood.
No matter what disaster it is, as long as the space plane is developed, he would hold an unbeatable position.
No matter the source of disaster, with the presence of space planes, he could build a space base.
Even if a super-meteor hits Blue Star, with humanity’s current technological level, the fire of human civilization could be preserved.
So... what’s there to fear?
Forget about saving all humankind, Mo Jingchun is quite self-serving.
If he has the ability, Mo Jingchun would naturally help more people.
If he’s powerless, Mo Jingchun wouldn’t feel guilty.
Zero was the first to notice Mo Jingchun’s shift in mindset.
At this moment, Mo Jingchun felt to Zero as if he’d unlocked an invisible shackle.
In the afternoon, Zero led over ten technicians to inspect the equipment one by one.
Whenever Zero found a problem, she’d readily share the experience with the dozen technicians following her.
After all, the maintenance of these devices would largely fall to them later.
With Zero working diligently, Mo Jingchun followed behind without making a sound.
Despite appearing unreliable and often causing trouble, Mo Jingchun was still serious when it mattered.
"This precision is off by a millimeter."
Zero casually hammered the machine and nodded with satisfaction.
"The precision is correct now."
While Zero moved on to the next piece of equipment, someone used tools to measure, and indeed, it was spot-on.
In over an hour, Zero adjusted more than thirty issues.
Clapping her hands, Zero casually tossed the hammer to the technicians.
"Boss, it’s done. The equipment can be started for production."
"What are we waiting for? Start it up."
Zero blinked innocently and said, "Boss, the fist-sized green button behind you is the main switch, the red one is an emergency stop."
Mo Jingchun turned around, looked at the two buttons, hesitated, then turned to Su Wenyan and said:
"From now on, you’ll be in charge here. You should press the start button."
Su Wenyan was indeed tempted but still asked cautiously, "Boss, is that appropriate?"
"What’s inappropriate about it."
Waving his hand, Mo Jingchun stepped aside.
"Come, start the production line and see if the manufactured parts can meet aerospace standards."
