Of course, Mo Jingchun couldn't see this process.
After the manned spacecraft entered its predetermined orbit, Mo Jingchun left the command hall with Candy alongside Academician Chen Xihe.
The moment they stepped out of the command center's door, the sun was just rising from the horizon. The blinding sunlight hit Mo Jingchun's face, making him involuntarily close his eyes.
After getting in the car, Chen Xihe smiled and asked Mo Jingchun, "How do you feel? Is it just like I said, a sense of pride emerging from the heart?"
Sitting in the back seat of Academician Chen Xihe, holding Candy, Mo Jingchun nodded and replied, "Yes, teacher."
"It's an indescribable feeling, but that inner joy is undeniable."
Chen Xihe's eyes appeared distant, as if recalling the past.
"Indeed. That inner joy is undeniable, which is one reason why all researchers persist."
"People are full of emotions and desires. If there's no gain, who would want to research new things?"
This sentence seemed to be spoken by Academician Chen Xihe to both Mo Jingchun and himself.
Upon returning to the place they rested last night, neither Academician Chen Xihe nor the bald senior sister got out of the car.
Chen Xihe rolled down the window and advised Mo Jingchun, "I already know about your special medicine. Though its effects are good, you must still follow the necessary procedures."
The next moment, Academician Chen Xihe earnestly said, "In Xia Country, people's lives will always be prioritized."
The black sedan gradually drove away, but Mo Jingchun, holding Candy, kept standing at the gate watching until the last black dot disappeared. Only then did Mo Jingchun enter the hall with Candy.
That afternoon, Mo Jingchun took a special flight back to Jing City.
It's just that...
Why was the treatment different upon returning...
Outside the airport, watching everyone being picked up while Mo Jingchun could only hold Candy and watch wistfully.
After waiting for ten minutes, no one came looking for Mo Jingchun.
Mo Jingchun sighed lightly and called a taxi.
"Driver, to Jing University's Yanyuan campus."
"Sure, sit tight."
In the taxi's back seat, Mo Jingchun held Candy with one hand and dialed Qin Yuzhu with the other.
Beep... beep... beep...
"Hello! Make it quick, I'm busy."
"Hey Qin, didn't you forget something?"
"Do you know I took a taxi from the airport?"
On the other end, Qin Yuzhu nonchalantly replied with a single word.
"Oh."
"Oh?"
"What else? Everyone's the same; there's no time to send each of you back individually."
"Hanging up, you wasted another minute of my time. I'll charge for future consultations."
After speaking, the strong woman Qin Yuzhu hung up on Mo Jingchun.
In the taxi, Mo Jingchun pursed his lips, silently putting away the phone without speaking.
What else could be said? She already said everyone receives the same treatment.
It just means others arranged pickups in advance.
Woken by the alarm at four in the morning, even Candy, who needed more sleep, and Mo Jingchun felt sleepy.
Upon returning to the apartment, after dinner and a bath, Mo Jingchun silenced the phone and went to bed with Candy.
In sleep, Mo Jingchun and Candy dreamed differently.
Meanwhile, the internet was already abuzz with the news of the successful launch of the manned spacecraft.
A news item nobody initially noticed shot to the top of trending searches within just an hour!
While everyone celebrated the successful spacecraft launch, only a few noticed the rocket's recovery and reuse.
But as more people saw the news, the rocket recovery and reuse story's popularity kept rising, climbing to the top of major platforms' trending searches.
At this moment, every citizen feels a sense of pride!
In the past, we always watched the United States showcase its rocket recovery and reuse technology.
Although we offered congratulations verbally, saying there was no envy would be dishonest.
But now, our country has caught up with the United States, becoming the second nation to achieve rocket recovery and reuse.
Accompanying the news interviews, the public heard, for the first time, about the new attitude balance algorithm named the Candy Algorithm. Many also discovered, for the first time, that the Candy Algorithm originated from an inconspicuous small company—Candy Technology Co., Ltd.
Of course, a detailed search into Candy Technology would reveal collaborations with several top-tier domestic enterprises.
The next day, waking up naturally, Mo Jingchun picked up the phone and was completely stunned.
Wow, over 99 missed calls.
99+ unread messages in group chats.
Even the Software 21's official and internal groups were exploding, with messages constantly popping up.
Mo Jingchun felt utterly bewildered, unable to understand how a good night's sleep with the phone on silent turned into this.
Unlocking the phone to check messages and a quick online search finally confirmed the reason behind this situation.
To be honest, yesterday at the scene, Mo Jingchun didn't notice the rocket recovery and reuse.
Of course, another reason was that Mo Jingchun had not participated in the rocket recovery and reuse project.
Thinking further, there's only one possibility: the officials wanted to take this opportunity to verify the feasibility of the rocket recovery and reuse technology.
If it failed, it would be no big deal.
After replying to messages for over half an hour, Mo Jingchun felt utterly exhausted.
Finally, after sending a message in the company's main group, Mo Jingchun returned to bed to continue sleeping.
"Stay humble and calm, may Candy Technology move forward with everyone."
In the bed, as Mo Jingchun squinted his eyes to sleep, all the messages in the company's group began to received replies one by one.
"Move forward together!"
"Move forward together!"
——————
The stars do not forsake the traveler, and time does not forsake the diligent.
No one anticipated that Candy Technology would enter public view in such a way.
If possible, Mo Jingchun didn't want Candy Technology to enter public view so soon; being too famous without thorough growth is sometimes not good for a company.
"Bro, wake up~"
"If you don't wake up soon~ Guoguo will starve~"
"Without Guoguo, Bro will be sad."
Candy, sitting on Mo Jingchun's pillow, earnestly persuaded him to get up.
Having Candy pry open his eyelids, Mo Jingchun helplessly said, "Didn't Guoguo just drink a bottle of milk?"
"But... but... Guoguo is hungry again."
Seeing Candy's eager look, Mo Jingchun could only get up reluctantly.
