Chapter 788 I think I can

"To be honest, I also want to go to Mars..."

For some reason, Dong Chen felt particularly miserable, so he said these words.

Of course, he felt miserable, but Musk didn't feel that way.

"Chairman, don't think about it this time. It's not too late for you to go to Mars after the technology matures. There is no need for you to compete for the title of "the first person to set foot on Mars."

Listening to Musk's familiar words of persuasion, Dong Chen could only burst into tears and said, "Sun Hao said the same thing before, and many people have said similar words..."

But halfway through, Dong Chen remembered, "Hey, no, didn't you say the same thing when you were the overbearing president? You said you would personally land on Mars within a few years or something."

"Yes, but I will not go there until the technology matures. If it were not for some problems, our unmanned Mars landing experiment would have already started. However, it has not been carried out yet, and even the company has been sold to You."

Musk said matter-of-factly, "But now, I am no longer the chairman or president of a company. I can bravely venture into the world and be a warrior to pioneer Mars."

"So Chairman, just let me go."

"…………"

Dong Chen instantly felt a critical hit of 10,000 points.

He even began to wonder if Musk had had this idea a long time ago, otherwise how could he have so readily agreed to be someone else's subordinate and become a technician after selling the company.

However, he finally understood that if he wanted to land on Mars with the scientific research team, forget it. Who made him the chairman of Arc Light Group?

As for Musk, he looked at Musk up and down and said, "You are the boss of an aerospace company, and you also have your own aerospace dream. You must have experienced some aerospace-related training, and maybe you are familiar with it. Even in this aspect, You don’t need to train, you pass.”

"Many people know that our Arc Light Aerospace astronaut selection standards are very low, especially in terms of physical fitness, but the professional selection is still quite strict. Can you do it?"

"No problem at all."

After hearing Dong Chen's doubts, Musk immediately stopped working.

"I am not an ordinary president or chairman. I am also the chief technical officer of the company. Like you, I have participated in many technical problems."

"Although I'm not as powerful as you, don't underestimate me. I've learned a lot on my own, and I'm not bad at all in my profession."

Looking at Musk like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, Dong Chen also remembered some information about this guy. As one of the contemporary "legends", he also has his own legendary experience.

He holds a double bachelor's degree in physics and economics from the University of Pennsylvania. He was admitted to the famous Stanford University graduate school at the age of 24, but decided to drop out after only one day.

He studies electric vehicles, launch vehicles, and brain-electrical signal interaction, and possesses the grand industrial heroism of a madman. He likes to talk about things that will allow humans to cross the stars, and also wants to retire on Mars. He is always dreaming a lot of crazy dreams and trying to realize them at all costs.

His expertise covers rocket science, engineering, physics, artificial intelligence, solar power energy and other fields, and most of it is self-taught.

So from this information, it seems that his professionalism is absolutely no problem, and he will be of great use when he gets to Mars, and he will definitely not move bricks.

And because of his special experience, such as being the president of a large company, he is very familiar with the overall arrangement of personnel and materials, risk assessment of tasks, etc., so he is a very suitable candidate to lead the team.

Thinking of this, the thoughts in Dong Chen's mind became clear.

"Do you really want to go to Mars now?" Dong Chen asked Musk for the last time.

"Although we are certain of the safety of the spacecraft, the safety of the shuttle transport aircraft, and the safety of the land equipment, we cannot guarantee that this mission will be safe."

"Because we haven't even figured out the earth beneath our feet, we don't even have enough knowledge about the distant Mars."

"Although you are no longer the president or chairman of the group, you should understand that only by living can you have an unlimited future."

"I'm sure, Mr. Chairman," Musk's eyes were firm and his tone was firm, "This is my dream, and I am very calm, and I am confident that I can complete such a task."

"Well."

Now that he had decided, Dong Chen turned around and left.

"Follow me, it's time for us to transfer to the astronaut training center."

"Astronaut training center?" Musk quickly followed, "What are you going to do?"

"Go and do some tests," Dong Chen turned to Musk who was following him and said, "If you pass the test, then by the way, get to know the team members who are about to perform the mission with you."

"Test? Team members?"

Musk didn't understand what it was at first, because he didn't expect Dong Chen to agree after only considering it for a few seconds. This was so resolute.

But after following Dong Chen for two steps, he understood and asked excitedly, "So, you agree?"

"It's useless if I agree, you still have to pass the test," Dong Chen said as he walked, and then looked at him with a smile, "What? Are you so happy that you don't even call him Chairman?"

"Haha, dear Dong, you are such a good friend," Musk said happily. "In the words of your Chinese country, words don't count. Important things should be kept in your heart."

"In my heart, you are definitely my supreme chairman, but that was at work, and I haven't started work yet. I think we are still friends."

"Of course, if I really can go to Mars this time, you will be my lifelong dream mentor."

Okay, I really don’t care about anything in order to go to Mars.

After a while, I changed my name to Dong Chen several times. I really just used that name when I did something.

However, Dong Chen didn't want to worry about it anymore. He had better do the test first, otherwise he might not know what other strategies Musk could use.

When Dong Chen and Musk went to the astronaut training center, Zhu Heshu, who had been promoted to the director of the Arc Light Astronaut Training Center, was surprised. He did not expect that Dong Chen would come here and bring Musk, the technology madman who yearned for the stars.

"Mr. Chairman, welcome to your arrival." Zhu Heshu came out to greet him.

After shaking hands with Zhu Heshu, Dong Chen introduced to Musk, "Musk, this is Ms. Zhu Heshu, the director of our Arc Light Astronaut Training Center and the chief astronaut of our Arc Light Space."

Then he introduced it to Zhu Heshu, "This is Mr. Musk. I don't think you need to introduce me anymore, right?"

"Yes, Chairman," Zhu Heshu smiled and shook hands with Musk. "Mr. Musk is a world-famous business tycoon and technology madman. He has a different obsession with the stars. Of course I know him."

"Thank you for your compliment, Ms. Zhu Heshu," Musk also shook hands with Zhu Heshu.

"Actually, I know you even if the chairman doesn't introduce you. You were the main pilot of Arc Light Aerospace's first space plane, a beautiful lady who made history, and the flower of the starry sky of Arc Light Group."

"I am quite aware of your deeds. I didn't expect that Ms. Zhu Heshu is already the director of the astronaut training center at such a young age."
