The next day.

"Is this the p... ahem! I mean, the technical documentation President Hu gave us?"

Cao Guoliang pointed at the document on the computer, almost blurting out the word "ppt".

"Yes, this file was sent over the company's intranet. I tried to open it, but the internal system prompted insufficient permissions, restricted to your access only," his assistant said helplessly.

"But... they only gave us this thing, didn't they leave any technical staff for the handover?" Cao Guoliang asked in confusion.

"Oh, yes, they did. They left a dozen or so fresh graduates, saying they're here to learn and assist us."

Cao Guoliang: "..."

I asked for people responsible for technical exchange, and you're telling me they left a bunch of interns?

What am I supposed to discuss with them? Graduation reflections?

He couldn't help but sigh in frustration.

After setting up a makeshift team, he patted his own shoulder, dropped a "Mr. Cao, we're counting on you for all technical aspects," and then claimed to be too busy with company affairs and flew back to Su City the next day...

Even if they were just here for show, appearing at a press conference to grab attention and pull in investment before preparing to leave, they should at least do a complete job of faking it.

We talked about collaboration, so how did it turn into a one-sided journey?

Although he didn't have high expectations, the partners being this unreliable still stretched the limits of his imagination...

However, he'd actually misunderstood.

The reason Hu Yifei didn't leave technical personnel wasn't because of lack of importance... but rather because Baiyeji simply didn't have aerospace talents...

This technology was developed entirely independently by the "Demon Hunter Team," a bonafide "airdrop technology."

Before this, they didn't even have a research project on it; where would they find a handover technician?

You must know that the domestic civilian space market has only recently opened up, and talents familiar with rocket propulsion technology, skilled in software design, and proficient in mathematical algorithms across multiple disciplines are extremely rare.

Forget about mastering this technology; even those who understand it are few and far between, most of whom are still in confidential military departments.

Looking at the entire Baiyeji, those qualified to exchange technical details with a top expert like Mr. Cao are probably only the developers, the Demon Hunters themselves.

But as everyone knows, the mysterious developer is known for their style of online communication, "no face-to-face"...

Considering Baiyeji's current financial resources and reputation, it's not that they can't recruit related talent.

But even after an urgent round of social recruitment for so-called experts, they still couldn't meet the minimum technical requirements.

Either they were seasoned opportunists who only excelled in social academics, or empty opportunists with no knowledge, some even caught by Zero for plagiarism on the spot...

Ultimately, they had no choice but to recruit a batch of interns from several top aerospace schools to act as Baiyeji's technical representatives.

Though these interns lacked work experience, they had no bad academic habits, high loyalty, and strong plasticity.

Just provide a suitable research environment, and after a few years of studying under experts like Cao Guoliang...

When these young people grow up, they will become the technical backbone of Ark Company, the foundation for Baiyeji exploring the stars...

Speaking of which, their unpreparedness this time can be blamed on Meng Lang.

Originally, he intended to stay conservative and let Baiyeji's soaring popularity cool down, considering the already remarkable advanced technologies they had unveiled; continuing to make waves by launching even more was a bit too overwhelming.

So Gao Yuan didn't have a prior plan for this, only asking Tang Yun to pay more attention to talents in that field.

Who could have thought that circumstances would change, and with a mystifying "gotta do something for the kids," someone turned from conservative to radical...

Thus, several follow-up plans, which were supposed to be gradual, were significantly advanced.

Because of a few temporary projects added suddenly, now almost all HR under Gao Yuan were holding recruitment events nationwide, leaving the HR department almost empty except for the janitorial auntie...

"Mr. Cao, how about our next work arrangement..."

You ask me, whom should I ask?

He took a deep breath, thankful for having maintained a good temper for decades...

"Forget it, forget it. Go ahead and arrange for those interns first.

Let our people give them some lessons, find something for them to do, and if there's nothing, just let them stroll around, consider it a departmental benefit, a vacation in Hainan."

Cao Guoliang waved his hand, with a look that said, "let me be in peace."

"Okay!"

Only after the assistant left excitedly did he sit back in front of his computer rather helplessly.

When he received the task instruction from above, he felt that this wasn't reliable.

He couldn't fathom whether President Hu had too strong a background, or if his presentation skills were too powerful, convincing the leadership to suffocate for dreams.

In his opinion, this seemed like seeking desperate solutions for a serious problem...

If those of professional level nine can't do it, will miracles happen if you find an amateur novice?

Looking at the document in front of him...

This "ppt," don't tell me it painted another grand vision?

Hopefully, it isn't a "launcher site planning map"...

He mockingly thought to himself, but as he clicked open the document, the camera indicator light beside him suddenly flashed.

[Beep~ Facial recognition completed, Name: Cao Guoliang.

Ark Shares temporary employee ID: XXXXXXX, identity verification passed, relevant confidential material reading permission granted...]

Cao Guoliang was a bit stunned.

He had heard Baiyeji's AI was impressive, but this level of identity verification intelligence was somewhat unexpected.

Even within some highly classified military enterprises, only certain areas require similar security authentication, right?

Before he could continue to be surprised by the intranet's intelligence, he was completely captivated by the screen.

Because the presented slide, with complex data codes and 3D graphics, completely captivated his attention...

...

The entire day, the door to Cao Guoliang's office remained unopened.

Until the previously departed assistant returned, bringing seven or eight techies in beach shorts, eagerly pushing the door open.

"Mr. Cao..."

However, before anyone could speak, everyone was stunned.

They saw Cao Guoliang, who was always known for his calmness, never panicking, and staying composed in the face of changes, earning the nickname "Anchor of the Second Institute."

Now, he was staring at the computer screen with bloodshot eyes, one hand turning his hair into a bird's nest, while the other was frantically scribbling calculations on a sheet of draft paper.

All around the ground, there were scattered sheets filled with dense data and diagrams...

"Why? Why can it precisely calculate the gravitational inertia coordinates of the launch point this way?"

"Elastic system, speed system, launch system... Can the orbital motion equation change like this?!"

"..."

"It's impossible; how can the dynamic redundancy of the re-entry trajectory be so high? Is it a calculation error? But the calculation process seems to have no issues..."

"It's not a convex optimization algorithm, nor an SQP algorithm; it seems to be... a composite algorithm of pseudospectral and genetic algorithms?"

"Genius! It's a genius-like idea!"

"..."

"Control variable linearization... can it really solve attitude stability this way?!"

"It clicked! I finally got it! Hahaha!"

Watching Cao Guoliang, who seemed bewitched, sometimes scratching his head, sometimes showing a manic grin while holding a sheet of calculations, the few newcomers were at a loss, bewildered.

What's the situation here?

He was fine in the morning, but he's crazy by the afternoon?

"Uh... Mr. Cao?"

The commotion at the door startled Cao Guoliang, who was immersed in the ocean of knowledge.

Coming back to his senses, his mind, which was euphoric, slightly calmed down, but he was puzzled seeing the attire of the few people.

"Huh? What are you guys doing?"

"Uh... Didn't you say there's nothing much today and we could go out for a stroll?" The deputy, who was leading the team-building, still didn't understand.

"Right, Mr. Cao, would you like to join us?"

"Stroll? Together?" Unexpectedly, Cao Guoliang, who rarely gets angry with subordinates, immediately got furious.

"It's already this time, and you still think about strolling? Go, change clothes and get ready for overtime! Nobody leaves before midnight today!"

"Huh?"

"Huh, what huh? Hurry up!"

Everyone was suddenly dumbfounded.

The promised beach is gone, sunshine and bikinis are gone... and we've been arranged for a late-night overtime?

All the resentful gazes immediately focused on the deputy who 'falsely spread imperial orders.'

I even changed my pants, only to get ready for overtime?

First, give people hope, then despair, is this how you play?

The deputy was almost in tears.

Mr. Cao, you're from Sichuan Province, but you don't have to change faces this quickly, right?

However, Cao Guoliang didn't notice the deputy's aggrieved expression; his face was full of uncontrollable excitement.

"Xiao Wang, immediately contact Lao Wu and Elder Zheng from the institute, I have some algorithms and formulas that need their help.

Xiao Ma, I have a model here, quickly input the design parameters of our No. 17 rocket into the calculations, I need results within three days.

Also, apply for a server from the institute; I want to conduct simulation launches for various types of rockets, the sooner, the better!"

That night, the office area of Ark Shares was brightly lit and did not go out until early morning...

...

At this time, Hu Yifei, who had just gotten off the plane, was rushing to the company.

Being busy is certainly not an excuse; he was indeed so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground.

Multiple suddenly accelerated projects made the entire group operate like a tightly wound machine.

After barely finishing the early-stage work of Ark Shares over on Hainan Island, without even a moment to help his wife pick out a wedding dress, he again rushed back to the company.

The reason was to attend the signing of a deep cooperation agreement with Lingjing Media...

Today, funded by Lingjing Media, with Baiyeji integrating its technology, the "Heart of Destruction" game department was officially established!

The world's first era-defining game to introduce AI technology and deeply involve in its development and design...

Perhaps many years later, this will be how the world evaluates it.

However, for Meng Lang, this "Heart of Destruction" holds a more special significance...

It was initially a stepping stone for Baiyeji to enter the VR world.

Lately, it has vaguely pointed to a path of human future evolution.

It had once invited the alien clan Zhao Ge to passionately endorse it.

It had even turned an entire world into Xiao Yu's game...

In the previous issue of the autobiography, it could even be considered a rudimentary "future simulator."

Even the "Jinghai Welfare Institute Instance Guide" was completed with its assistance.

Its appearances were few, but each appearance almost always became an unavoidable plot core in the world of the book...

If aerospace is the future development direction of human civilization's industrial entity.

Then "Heart of Destruction," which plays important roles in multiple worlds, might be the gateway for human civilization to step into the virtual world...

Meng Lang does not know what the human civilization of the future will look like with the development of technology.

Will it develop the human body to the extreme and achieve bodily sanctity, or will it abandon the useless shell to ascend to a virtual realm?

But this does not prevent him from betting on both ends.

After all, even nine years of compulsory education taught him that the fundamental policy of socialist modernization is to grasp both "material civilization" and "spiritual civilization."

Both hands must be grasped, and both hands must be strong!
