Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Invitation Accepted

Mo Jingchun pinched the little one’s rosy cheeks and said with a smile:

“The quality of this doll is not good, don’t 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, it’s okay.”

Saying this, Mo Jingchun squatted down and began to pick up the larger pieces of cotton on the ground.

Seeing his brother’s 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.”

“Okay～”

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, I’ll watch over things here.”

Li Qianqian, who had gone for lunch first, hadn’t 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 wasn’t Li Qianqian being disrespectful. She just couldn’t 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 spacecraft’s flight status was all normal on the big screen, Chen Xihe nodded and smiled:

“Alright, I’m going to eat now.”

“If there’s 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, that’s 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, I’m 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 I’m already old?”

It will take six more days for the manned spacecraft to reach Mars’ original orbit, and it will orbit Mars three times before landing.

The next afternoon, Mo Jingchun received the invitation.

“Alright, got it.”

“I’ll be waiting for you at Luzhou Airport in five days.”

After hanging up Qin Yuzhu’s 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 CEO’s 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.”

“I’m quite lazy and don’t like these tedious procedures.”

“Just soak it and drink it, and that’s it.”

“I’m here not for anything else, but in a few days, I plan to take Candy on a trip. If we’re quick, we’ll be back in two days, the latest wouldn’t exceed a week.”

“If there’s 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 you’re 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:

“We’re 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; it’s an enormous project.

It’s 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.

“Aren’t you worried about your company being dragged down?” This was no exaggeration from Qin Yuzhu.

What she didn’t expect was that Mo Jingchun asked rhetorically:

“What’s there to be afraid of?”

“If it really came to that, I’d just pause the development of industrial software and have them develop a few games; wouldn’t the money come in like that?”

“Besides, I’m not just developing industrial software and nothing else.”

Qin Yuzhu stopped speaking. She couldn’t exactly persuade Mo Jingchun not to develop industrial software, could she?

That evening, Mo Jingchun met his teacher, whom he hadn’t seen in a year.

“Teacher, long time no see.”

“Haha, you brat, indeed it’s been a while.”

“Your senior sister went for a meal, she should be back soon.”

“Once she’s back, I’ll 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 Xihe’s face stiffened; without looking, he knew Mo Jingchun was referring to the astronauts’ 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 Jingchun’s 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 brother’s neck, the little one’s eyes were somewhat evasive.

Mo Jingchun explained helplessly: “Senior sister, it’s been so long, Candy probably doesn’t remember you.”

This was truly a sad thing.
