Mo Jingchun pinched the little oneās rosy cheeks and said with a smile:
"The quality of this doll is not good, donāt you think so, Guoguo?"
"Uh-huh." The little one nodded vigorously.
"Brother, Guoguo was just tossing it, and who knew it would break when it fell."
"Alright, itās okay."
Saying this, Mo Jingchun squatted down and began to pick up the larger pieces of cotton on the ground.
Seeing his brotherās actions, the little one also bent over, picking up the cotton on the ground and clutching it in his hands.
Before long, the larger cotton pieces were all picked up.
The smaller ones would have to wait for the cleaning lady to sweep them up later.
"Are you hungry?"
Candy gave a sweet smile and nodded in response:
"Uh-huh."
"Then come on, brother will take Guoguo to eat."
"Okayļ½"
Inside the space agency, the staff took turns having lunch to ensure that there was always someone on duty in the central control command center, to handle any situations that might arise with the manned spacecraft in a timely manner.
"Teacher, you go eat, Iāll watch over things here."
Li Qianqian, who had gone for lunch first, hadnāt even wiped the oil stains from the corners of her mouth before she jogged back to the command center to switch shifts with her teacher.
This wasnāt Li Qianqian being disrespectful. She just couldnāt argue against her teacher, who insisted she go eat first.
Not to mention that her teacher was very kind to her, even just the fact that her teacher was an academician made Li Qianqian hesitant to be disrespectful.
Seeing the manned spacecraftās flight status was all normal on the big screen, Chen Xihe nodded and smiled:
"Alright, Iām going to eat now."
"If thereās anything, call me immediately."
"Okay, teacher." Li Qianqian pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose.
"When you have time, go to the logistics department to get a new pair of smart glasses. The things Mo develops are always so surprising."
Speaking of Mo Jingchun, Chen Xi smiled and said:
"Oh, thatās right."
"The manned spacecraft will be reaching the vicinity of Mars as scheduled in six days; contact Qin Yuzhu and have Mo Jingchun come along too."
"Such a grand event, Iām sure Mo Jingchun would love to attend."
"As you young people say, the Sea of Stars is the goal."
After the teacher left the central control command center, Li Qianqian unconsciously touched a bald spot on her head, whispering to herself with a face of grievance:
"Am I really still young?"
"Why do I feel like Iām already old?"
It will take six more days for the manned spacecraft to reach Marsā original orbit, and it will orbit Mars three times before landing.
The next afternoon, Mo Jingchun received the invitation.
"Alright, got it."
"Iāll be waiting for you at Luzhou Airport in five days."
After hanging up Qin Yuzhuās call, Mo Jingchun realized that unknowingly, he had almost forgotten about the manned spacecraft traveling alone through the dark universe.
Time flies by so fast.
In the afternoon, Mo Jingchun had Zero distribute the collected industrial software data to all software development engineers for them to start learning from scratch.
In the CEOās office, Mo Jingchun, holding Candy, savored the excellent tea brewed by Xu Pengfei and said with a smile:
"I must say, you really know how to enjoy life."
"Iām quite lazy and donāt like these tedious procedures."
"Just soak it and drink it, and thatās it."
"Iām here not for anything else, but in a few days, I plan to take Candy on a trip. If weāre quick, weāll be back in two days, the latest wouldnāt exceed a week."
"If thereās anything urgent, contact Qin Yuzhu; she can get in touch with me."
"Okay."
Five days later, Mo Jingchun, along with Candy, successfully met Qin Yuzhu at the airport.
Inside the cabin, Qin Yuzhu, sitting in the same row as Mo Jingchun, tilted her head and asked: "I heard from others that youāre planning a big project again? Or several of them?"
Mo Jingchun: ???
How come in just a few days, everything Xu Pengfei mentioned at the meeting, Qin Yuzhu already knew?
But there was nothing to hide, so Mo Jingchun smiled openly and said:
"Weāre planning to get into industrial software, does that count as a big project?"
Industrial software? Qin Yuzhu was momentarily stunned.
This is no mere big project; itās an enormous project.
Itās fair to say that most products people use involve industrial software.
The most familiar example is architectural design drawings.
Next are the chips that everyone knows about.
For workers in the high-tech field, industrial software is the soul of production and the key to whether a product can become high-tech.
Industrial software is divided into application software, system software, and programming languages, and more specifically, into CAD, CAM, CAE, and EDA software.
These types of software are currently the most advanced.
The reason Qin Yuzhu is so familiar is that the various research undertakings in the institute almost all rely on industrial software.
The most frustrating thing is being frequently constrained by it.
The issue lies in domestic industrial software being immature.
The reasons are simple: high cost of investment, numerous technical difficulties, low profits, and over time, only a few have persevered.
"Arenāt you worried about your company being dragged down?" This was no exaggeration from Qin Yuzhu.
What she didnāt expect was that Mo Jingchun asked rhetorically:
"Whatās there to be afraid of?"
"If it really came to that, Iād just pause the development of industrial software and have them develop a few games; wouldnāt the money come in like that?"
"Besides, Iām not just developing industrial software and nothing else."
Qin Yuzhu stopped speaking. She couldnāt exactly persuade Mo Jingchun not to develop industrial software, could she?
That evening, Mo Jingchun met his teacher, whom he hadnāt seen in a year.
"Teacher, long time no see."
"Haha, you brat, indeed itās been a while."
"Your senior sister went for a meal, she should be back soon."
"Once sheās back, Iāll take you and Candy for a meal."
While speaking, Mo Jingchun took a glance at a delay video from inside the spacecraft that was transmitted from space on the big screen, and was stunned.
"Teacher, do they have health issues?"
With his back turned, the smile on Chen Xiheās face stiffened; without looking, he knew Mo Jingchun was referring to the astronautsā physiques.
"No issues, they just get good meals."
Uh... alright.
About ten minutes later, Mo Jingchun saw his senior sister running back eagerly.
Li Qianqian saw the little one in Mo Jingchunās arms and ran over joyfully.
"Oh, Candy is here."
"Come, let sister hold you."
Having not seen her in a year, the little one was a bit unfamiliar with Li Qianqian.
Clutching his brotherās neck, the little oneās eyes were somewhat evasive.
Mo Jingchun explained helplessly: "Senior sister, itās been so long, Candy probably doesnāt remember you."
This was truly a sad thing.
