Chapter 896 - 894: Mutual Bluffing

Unlike the worry on Mo Jingchun’s face, Candy was more curious about the space shuttle’s cockpit.

What does it look like inside the cockpit?

Could she possibly fly this big machine all over the sky?

Seeing Candy’s gaze, Zero chuckled and whispered softly in Candy’s ear:

"Do you want to see what it’s like inside?"

Upon hearing this, Candy turned her head in surprise to look at Zero and asked:

"Zero, can you take me to have a look?"

"No, I can’t."

Instantly, Candy’s face fell.

Not being able to do it, the way he spoke got her thinking Zero was going to take her on a tour inside the space shuttle.

Feeling Candy’s resentful gaze, Zero smiled awkwardly.

He explained: "The test flight of the space shuttle is imminent. Since yesterday, besides the engineers responsible for inspections, no one else is allowed inside without permission. Not even me."

"Wrong! Pilots can also!"

Pilots? Zero grinned, "I am the pilot. For the first test flight, no one is bold enough to let a real person go up and pilot the space shuttle. Plus, with the space shuttle now fully automated and smart, it only needs ground guidance and doesn’t require manual piloting by a pilot."

Candy furrowed her brows, "Then why do you need a pilot and a cockpit."

"You’re wrong again. In many sudden situations, manual piloting is the safest."

"Moreover... the boss said that we built it to sell the aircraft. If there’s no cockpit, who would buy it!"

Uh... Candy frowned, not quite understanding.

Suddenly, from afar, a lady dressed in a black suit and high prescriptions glasses hurriedly ran towards Mo Jingchun’s group.

Faced with a stranger sprinting at full speed, Wild Wolf only waved his hand lightly, and four or five people blocked Mo Jingchun’s front.

"She’s my secretary," Su Wenyan said.

Hearing this, Mo Jingchun’s expression didn’t change, he merely said calmly:

"Let her through."

The secretary glanced at Mo Jingchun, her gaze filled with some hesitation.

Seeing the secretary’s hesitant expression, Su Wenyan spoke frankly:

"Speak directly, the boss is here, if the sky falls, the boss will bear it."

Saying this, Su Wenyan didn’t feel there was any issue.

After years of interaction, Su Wenyan was already accustomed to being straightforward.

Mo Jingchun’s mouth twitched, though he concealed it well.

"Boss, President Su, we just received the latest news, the aerospace bureau’s people arrived early, they’re expected to reach the base in ten minutes."

"Arrived early?"

The secretary nodded.

On the side, Mo Jingchun rubbed his forehead helplessly, pointing at the big machine behind him and said: "They’re here for it."

"They probably want a close-up look at our space shuttle, not just coming specifically to watch the test flight. After all, simply watching the test flight can be done remotely."

"Let’s go, the aerospace bureau’s people, no matter what, we should both go to receive them. Otherwise, someone might say I’m too arrogant."

Su Wenyan pursed his lips, whoever said the boss is an arrogant person, Su Wenyan would be the first to disagree.

The boss is clearly easy to get along with.

"Candy, stop watching, let’s go greet them."

"Huh? Oh, coming, coming."

Taking a lingering glance at the cockpit, Candy turned and hurriedly followed her brothers.

The weather in October isn’t very cool, but standing under the shade of the trees isn’t hot either, especially in this deep forest, where occasional breezes make you want to nap comfortably.

Sitting on a small stool brought over by Sister Su Wenyan’s secretary from who knows where, Candy yawned.

They promised ten minutes, but it’s almost twenty now.

Just as Candy was getting impatient waiting, three minibuses with license plates starting with Beijing appeared at the end of the road.

"Here they come."

Hearing her brother say "here they come," Candy got up from the small stool and patted non-existent dust off her backside.

Watching the three minibuses precisely park in the spaces, Wild Wolf couldn’t help but take another look.

This driving skill, it’s the same as Xiaofeixia’s.

"Hello, welcome leaders for guidance."

The arriving aerospace bureau director had no airs, and faced with Mo Jingchun’s "welcome for guidance," the director felt somewhat bitter.

Who would have thought that Candy Technology could overtake in just four years, leading the aerospace bureau and becoming the world’s first institution to develop a space shuttle.

What’s even harder to accept is that Candy Technology is a private company.

But there’s a saying that’s fitting, have the spirit of Ah Q.

No matter what, Candy Technology belongs to Xia Country, as long as today Candy Technology’s "Wentian" space shuttle test flight succeeds, those heads of foreign aerospace institutions probably won’t get a wink of sleep.

The rise of Huaxia has long been unstoppable.

Deploy nuclear weapons with a space shuttle, just ask if they’re afraid.

"Don’t dare, don’t dare. Honestly, it’s embarrassing that I’ve led the team for years and yet haven’t solved several major hurdles in space shuttle development."

Mo Jingchun smiled and said: "Perhaps we were just lucky. After all, our Candy Technology has always been lucky since its founding."

"Ahem, well, can we get a close-up look at the ’Wentian’ space shuttle? It’s okay if not, after all, as fellow aerospace people, we understand the rigorous checks needed before a test flight."

Block? It’s definitely not possible, Mo Jingchun has no doubt about that, utterly denying would result in him being the headline this afternoon.

Mo Jingchun feigned indecision, and after a long while, sighed, and with a troubled expression said:

"Director, I can take you for a close look, but entering inside might not be possible, hope you understand, after all, the test flight is scheduled for this afternoon, even I can’t go in now."

"Of course, director, don’t worry. Three years ago, I already had a verbal agreement with the higher-ups, the first space shuttle will be sold to them."

Saying this, Mo Jingchun winked at the director.

From outside the circle, Candy observed her brother’s winking motion, thinking to herself that’s his typical unconsciously nervous gesture when he’s lying.

Is her brother fooling this old man?

"Oh? Is this really true?"

The director got a bit excited, even wanting to apply immediately to buy the ’Wentian’ as soon as possible.

As for subsequent tests after the test flight, they can handle it too!

Any issues then can be directly reported back to Candy Technology.

That way, they might even learn some technologies.

Seeing the director’s change in expression, Mo Jingchun felt it was about time.

Damn, developing the space shuttle is simply a money pit, a quarter of Candy Technology’s profits over the past four years has been poured into laboratory R&D.
