After the simple investiture ceremony concluded.
The second-in-command suddenly chuckled and said, "By the way, I've already asked the comrades in the propaganda department to wait. As the chief commander of the Tiangong Kaiwu project, you should give an interview so that the people of the whole country can get to know you."
"Ugh, can I not show my face?" Ye Chen was having a headache. He didn't want to be surrounded by people wherever he went.
"Since you are determined to lead humanity into the stars, you must get used to this kind of spotlight."
......
When Ye Chen came out of the Forbidden City, it was almost noon.
He turned around and looked behind him. The Forbidden City shone brightly under the midday sun, majestic and imposing, just like his heart.
From this day forward, this ancient land will undergo earth-shattering changes according to his plan.
"Young master, please get in the car."
At this moment, Uncle Qi came up to him and said respectfully.
"Thank you for keeping me waiting, Uncle Qi." Ye Chen nodded, got into the car, and drove towards the Li family's house.
Inside the car.
Ye Chen closed his eyes slightly, rested his head on the back seat headrest, and thought at high speed about the preparations for the creation of the universe.
Although the Tiangong Kaiwu project team has been established, the headquarters is still just an empty shell, and the site and supporting personnel have not yet arrived.
The leaders' intention was to develop the project with the Mousse Group or Ye Chen as the core, using this as a starting point to drive related companies and research institutions throughout China to follow suit.
We must abandon the previous model of nationwide, unconditional support and explore a new path for development.
"We need to get the framework of the command center up and running as soon as possible," Ye Chen thought to himself.
First, there's the issue of personnel. As the commander-in-chief, he doesn't have a single soldier under his command yet. Although most of the work is assisted by Zhizi, a large number of personnel are needed to participate offline.
However, the five leaders have already considered this issue and have selected nearly 10,000 people from all over the country. These people are elites from all walks of life. After the project is announced, a special team will be formed to communicate with them.
This time, instead of recruiting through the previous national system, they will conduct commercial recruitment through Mousse Company.
Ye Chen has the technology, the money, and the government-supported projects, so he can reach cooperation agreements with these people and institutions in the shortest time.
Secondly, there is the location of the headquarters. In the next three years, a large number of people will work here. In addition to project team members, there will also be accompanying family members, with an initial estimate of tens of thousands of people. Including temporary personnel, the number may reach 100,000. The food, clothing, housing, and transportation of these people must be taken into consideration.
Moreover, in Ye Chen's plan, after the completion of the Tiangong Kaiwu project, the location of the general command headquarters will be directly transformed into the ground headquarters for future space exploration.
Therefore, the area of the headquarters cannot be too small, and the current Mousse headquarters is not big enough.
Expanding the headquarters is inevitable; the area will need to be increased at least tenfold.
After repeatedly considering the preparations for the Tiangong Kaiwu project in his mind, Ye Chen finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
At this moment, the vehicle slowly came to a stop, having arrived at the Li family's main residence.
Having received advance notice, Li Muyue was waiting outside the gate. Upon seeing Ye Chen get out of the car, she quickly came over to greet him.
"Did the talks go smoothly?" She stepped forward and took Ye Chen's arm, asking with concern.
"Everything's going smoothly. Your husband will soon have another role—the chief commander of the Tiangong Kaiwu project," Ye Chen said with a smile, patting her hand.
"So, the leaders have already approved your three-year development plan?" Li Muyue asked, her eyes lighting up with delight.
As the CEO of the Mousse Group, a seasoned businesswoman with years of experience in the business world, she certainly knew the enormous changes this plan would bring to China!
"I agree to everything, and I've been appointed Commander-in-Chief. From now on, please call me Commander-in-Chief, hehe." Ye Chen joked, laughing as he spoke.
"Understood, Commander-in-Chief. The meal is ready. Even if you've become Commander-in-Chief, you still need to eat, right?" Li Muyue chuckled and took his hand as they walked through the gate.
at the same time.
In the studio of CCTV News, the midday news broadcast is about to begin in three minutes.
The two hosts were making the most of their time, giving their press releases a final check.
Suddenly, the studio door was pushed open, and the station director rushed in, holding a press release in his hand.
"You two should quickly familiarize yourselves with this news, as it will be the first one broadcast later."
He quickly walked over to the two hosts and handed them the script.
"This..." The male host looked surprised and was about to ask a question.
The station director quickly stopped him, saying, "There's no time to explain. This is the order from above. You all need to familiarize yourselves with it quickly. This is the first broadcast."
Upon hearing this, the two hosts didn't say much, but quickly divided their scripts and began to read them.
The more they looked, the more surprised they became.
However, time was of the essence, and the two of them couldn't care less about anything else, so they quickly skimmed through the manuscript.
"10-second countdown begins!" As the director's voice rang out, the two hosts quickly put down their scripts and straightened their appearance.
"10, 9, 8......1".
As the countdown ended, the dignified and poised faces of the two hosts appeared on the screen.
"Good afternoon, everyone. Today is March 4, 2024, the 24th day of the second month in the lunar calendar. The main content of today's program is as follows... Please listen to the details below."
"my country's first comprehensive space resource development plan has been officially launched, named Tiangong Kaiwu, with a plan to complete the development and utilization of resources throughout the entire solar system within three years..."
"Next, please listen to an exclusive interview with Ye Chen, the chief commander of the Tiangong Kaiwu project..."
During the midday news, the two hosts spent a full five minutes introducing the Tiangong Kaiwu project plan.
As the midday news aired, the news quickly caught people's attention, and subsequently, social media across China was abuzz with excitement.
"Completed in three years? How is that possible! Is today not April Fool's Day?"
"Dear friends, I just woke up to this shocking news. Is it really 2023? Did I travel to the future?"
"I'm starting to wonder if we've all traveled through time? Otherwise, why does it feel so unreal!"
"It's broadcast on CCTV, so it can't be fake. Can any experts explain the Tiangong Kaiwu (Ingenious Creation of Things) project?"
As time went on, the Tiangong Kaiwu project became increasingly popular online, although most netizens remained skeptical.
Sending a probe to the moon is incredibly difficult for humans these days, and suddenly someone tells you that you can sit on the moon and drink tea in just one year.
This feeling... how should I put it? It's so unreal!
