If Xiao Peng were born in a civilization with more advanced science, he would undoubtedly be a genius in aerospace.

However, given the current level of technological development of humanity, he doesn’t have sufficient conditions to realize his ideas.

Jiang Cheng didn’t even expect that visiting a rocket launch base would allow him to spot such talent.

This type of technical personnel is exactly the kind of talent Jiang Cheng needs, someone who can help him significantly in the aerospace field.

If Xiao Peng received technical support from Jiang Cheng, he would certainly be able to achieve many epoch-making results.

After discovering Xiao Peng’s foresight, Jiang Cheng developed a fondness for talent and wanted to recruit this aerospace expert to assist him with some technical research.

With Xiao Peng’s help, many aerospace-related technologies could be realized earlier.

Frankly, Jiang Cheng currently needs a helper like Xiao Peng the most, someone to help alleviate some of his pressure.

At least Jiang Cheng wouldn’t have to conduct every research by himself, and he could assign some of the simpler technologies to his subordinates for development.

In the realm of biotechnology, Jiang Cheng already has talented individuals under his wing. Guan Xiaofei and Su Qianqian, the two sisters, have enough talent in biotechnology, giving Jiang Cheng hope for the future.

Once the two sisters grow, Jiang Cheng will have assistance in the biotechnology field.

Though he has help in biotechnology from the two sisters, Jiang Cheng cannot find suitable talent in other technical fields.

Xiao Peng’s appearance is very much in line with Jiang Cheng’s intentions. His technical level is very mature, requiring almost no training to start assisting him directly.

In terms of experience, Xiao Peng is even more adept, with years of research allowing him to quickly adapt to Jiang Cheng’s research.

Although Xiao Peng seems to be quite a decent talent, unfortunately, Jiang Cheng’s idea is very difficult to achieve, with little possibility of realization.

He is, after all, an executive in the aerospace company with a status that is not comparable to a regular official.

Moreover, this technical executive’s authority is quite significant, with at least a few hundred researchers under him.

His benefits are even more advantageous, and his current conditions are quite good.

Jiang Cheng wanting to poach Xiao Peng from the aerospace company is exceedingly difficult.

Perhaps Jiang Cheng needs to present sufficiently advanced technology to attract this technical enthusiast.

But the problem is that even if Xiao He himself wants to follow Jiang Cheng for research, the aerospace company would certainly not agree.

Xiao Peng is a core technical personnel of the aerospace company. If Jiang Cheng were to poach him, what would happen to the company’s research thereafter?

It’s conceivable that Jiang Cheng’s poaching attempt would be strongly opposed by the aerospace company, making this operation nearly impossible.

The resistance from all sides is too great, so Jiang Cheng cannot accomplish this for the time being.

Although Jiang Cheng temporarily gave up on the idea of poaching, it does not mean he would abandon Xiao Peng as a talent.

He plans to see if there’s an opportunity in the future to bring Xiao Peng into his own company.

Anyway, there’s still plenty of time and Jiang Cheng has the patience to wait for the opportunity.

Perhaps future collaboration with the aerospace company could be an opportunity, if both parties start technical cooperation, borrowing a couple of people would be simple.

Once the talent is borrowed, whether or not to return them would depend on Jiang Cheng’s mood.

But these matters are for the future, Jiang Cheng thinks he should deal with the present first.

Today is the day of his satellite launch; let’s focus on the rocket launch for now.

Soon, Jiang Cheng followed Xiao Peng into a large hall. The hall was so spacious that it could accommodate many people working inside.

The hall was bustling with technical personnel busy with their tasks, with occasional movement and collaboration among them.

The front wall of the hall featured a huge display screen showing the status of the rocket launch pad.

This rocket was to be launched today, with Jiang Cheng’s satellite mounted on it.

The screen showed that many connections to the rocket had already been disconnected.

This indicated that the rocket was fully prepared for launch, just waiting for the official countdown.

Elsewhere in the hall were many smaller screens displaying various data.

All this data pertained to the rocket’s status and real-time monitoring of the external environment.

Each screen had technical personnel monitoring it, constantly keeping an eye on the rocket launch information.

The entire hall exuded a sense of technology, with the technical staff in uniform busily working.

This was the command center of the launch base, the place controlling the rocket launch.

Upon entering the hall, Jiang Cheng was invited by Xiao Peng to the main seat of the command desk.

From this position, one could view everything happening in the hall, directly facing that giant screen, clearly observing the rocket launch situation.

Generally, this position is reserved for leaders, who come to inspect and watch the rocket launch from here.

Today’s launch was rather special, as this launch was for Jiang Cheng’s personal request.

So, there were no leaders here to inspect, with mostly launch base technicians present.

Since no leaders were present, Jiang Cheng naturally became the highest-ranking individual here.

Xiao Peng had arranged for Jiang Cheng to sit at the main seat and watch the rocket launch from here.

Sitting at the command desk, Jiang Cheng didn’t find this position unfamiliar; he felt he deserved to sit there.

In terms of identity, although Jiang Cheng wasn’t a government official, he couldn’t be considered their leader.

But Jiang Cheng’s background was exceedingly remarkable, being someone of great concern to the leaders.

His standing with the military was particularly esteemed, with several high-ranking military officials valuing him greatly.

In terms of rank, Jiang Cheng was in no way inferior to those leaders.

If Jiang Cheng’s technical prowess was considered, he was more than qualified to guide them.

His strength in research was acknowledged by everyone present, fully capable of directing this launch.

Therefore, Jiang Cheng being today’s leader was entirely appropriate, making his presence here seamless.

Sitting at the command desk, watching the busy technicians below, Jiang Cheng felt a sense of leadership.

This feeling was novel to Jiang Cheng, who had never experienced it before, making it very fresh to him.

After guiding Jiang Cheng to the command desk, Xiao Lu went down to attend to his own tasks.

While Xiao Lu was also a leader here, he was a technical leader.

Unlike typical leaders who merely observe their subordinates working, Xiao had to oversee many technical matters.

Many technical matters in the command center required Xiao’s attention, so he couldn’t merely stand by the command desk observing; he needed to personally execute many tasks.

This was the difference between technical leaders and regular officials—they often started from hands-on roles.

Thus, they had strong operational capabilities, far exceeding typical officials in practical skills.

Jiang Cheng, while awaiting the rocket launch, also observed the situation in the large hall.

Watching Xiao Lu busy below, Jiang Cheng became more satisfied with this technical talent.
