I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

September to October is the time when Lin Jumao goes all out to recruit people.

According to the size of the base, at least 80 engineers and more than 200 technical workers must be deployed. The previous arrangement alone is simply not enough.

There are not many people that the Sixth Academy can poach, so they can only recruit from the public.

Fortunately, just recruiting senior engineers and engineers in the processing field does not require you to stick to the aerospace major. It is more inclined to space flight, and the demand is less and you can rely on system engineers.

Manufacturing workers are still easy to recruit in China. As long as they are willing to provide good benefits, it is relatively easy to recruit them.

The scale of Xinyuan Aerospace has expanded rapidly at the speed of a balloon, which has also brought pressure on management.

At this time, Accountant Cai, whom Lin Ju upgraded with skill cards, came into play. As a senior executive, he could still ensure that more than 300 people would not cause trouble.

It's a pity that the factory is not an office building, so you can't stand in the clouds and overlook all living beings, but watching the rockets is also very exciting.

Since he was slightly behind system engineers in his profession, Lin Ju didn't have a strong desire to make money and enjoy himself, so his hobbies began to develop like old horses: bragging and drawing pictures.

Of course, his cake painting is scientific and feasible to a certain extent.

After all, the system is so powerful and has a very virtuous style. As long as you call for help, things will be arranged properly immediately.

The most worry-free thing is the system unit research institute, which is the ultimate plug-in.

Generally speaking, there is no necessary relationship between scientific research investment and output. Something great may suddenly come out, or it may sink into nothing with no results.

But the system research institute is different. As long as you invest in it after setting up a task, the research and development progress will definitely increase. This is equivalent to the fact that no matter how powerful a monster is, as long as you cut it with a knife, its health will be reduced by 1.

Lin Ju tried to directly create a new task "Developing a nuclear fusion spacecraft", which also showed that it was feasible, but there was a long string of zeros after the estimated time.

The first flight of Xinyuan-2, the rocket carrying manned space missions, is expected to be three months later, while the space shuttle is not expected to make its first flight until nine months later.

And it must be tested frequently within a month. Although the performance data system of the H1 space shuttle is very clear, it still needs to be done again to become familiar with the flight performance and process.

Moreover, during this period, Lin Ju had to find a place to build a launch site and runway to supply the Xinyuan-2 rocket and space shuttle, but this was a small problem that was easy to solve.

The only thing that is a bit tight is funds. The Sixth Academy gave 100 million. This commercial space launch can make less than 10 million, which is barely enough for the early and mid-term expenses.

In the future, we can only hope to continue to accept commercial orders, but it is not time to worry yet.

Now Lin Ju feels that the first priority is to expand his reputation. Once he has a reputation, orders will come to his door.

During this time, he worked with system engineers to develop many plans for landing on the moon, Mars, and the space station. They were all plans that looked awesome and sounded feasible but were actually pure deception.

Of course, the main force is the manned space program, and there is no need to hide it, because Xinyuan Aerospace is already studying where to find astronauts.

This is the sky, and you have to fly a space shuttle. It is not the traditional way of sitting in a spacecraft and waiting for the ground to take care of you. The requirements for astronauts are very high.

It’s definitely too late to train them yourself, and it’s even more delusional to directly poach active astronauts.

The only feasible way is to find pilots with excellent skills and train them to fly space shuttles.

As for how to find one, of course it’s not by posting job advertisements.

There is a theory in the world: no matter how far apart the distance and identity between two complete strangers are, a connection can be established through no more than six people.

So as long as you want to find someone with a specific target, there will always be a way.

…

"Left! Left! Don't you understand what formation is?"

"Are your hands made of cement? Balance it, balance it!"

"Take off the accelerator, we hit!"

"..."

"Thank you, thank you for your kindness to the instructor by not killing me."

After completing the first formation training with the rookie, Deng Lei felt more tired than when he fought with foreign troops at the border.

Every time after taking on a new pilot, he would always wonder how such an idiot could get close to the pilot.

"I'm sorry, instructor, I will definitely not make the same mistake next time."

"Next time? Go back and fly the simulator for me now. Next time you will take the instructor to heaven!"

After driving the rookie back to the simulation base, Deng Lei suddenly felt a little empty again.

He is already forty-two years old, and he will not be able to serve as an instructor for long. He may not be able to go to heaven in a few years.

As a former excellent fighter pilot, he was almost selected as a reserve astronaut, but in the end he was reduced to training as a rookie in flight school.

Retiring quietly like this is difficult for him to accept.

The cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. Deng Lei answered the call and found that it was one of his nephews.

This nephew was scolded by him not long ago because he gave up the Sixth Academy and went to a private company, and he had no contact with him for several days.

"Hello? Has your kid been kicked out? My uncle can't help."

"No, uncle, I heard that you participated in astronaut selection before?"

Deng Lei was stunned. This sentence brought back his memories from ten years ago.

At that time, General Yang had just ascended to space, setting off a craze for astronauts, and the Aerospace Brigade expanded its recruitment of astronauts among the pilots.

Deng Lei, who was flying the J-8 II at the time, also participated. He had even completed several months of astronaut training and had excellent results, but was eventually dismissed.

The reason is that his fiancée cheated on him and the marriage was broken. According to regulations, he cannot become an astronaut until he is married.

In this way, Deng Lei, whose career and love were both hit, passed by an astronaut, and his work did not go well. He has been single since then, and became a flight instructor as he grew older.

Although he didn't know what his nephew meant, he still said proudly:

"At that time, I had already entered the reserve astronaut team and had gone through all the training. Did I know that I was perfect in everything at that time? Not only did I meet General Yang, but we also had dinner together.

If it hadn't been for that incident, maybe I would be in heaven right now. "

"Oh~, uncle, our company is recruiting astronauts. Are you interested in giving it a try? The salary is negotiable, but it will definitely not be low... By the way, you can be married or unmarried."

"What? Recruiting astronauts?"

Deng Lei ignored the last sentence and was shocked by the news, and then immediately asked:

"How is it possible for your private company to recruit astronauts? Do you know how difficult it is to conduct manned spaceflight? Now that I have passed, I may not be able to go to heaven until I die."

Although Deng Lei's tone was completely unbelieving, his nephew could hear some expectation from his mouth, and he immediately felt confident.

"No, uncle, I read internal news that people will be sent to space next year, and they will be on a space shuttle. The plan will be made public in a short time. Now they are specifically recruiting special pilots who can fly a space shuttle.

I just thought that uncle, you have good flying skills, and you can fly the J-8 very well. It will definitely be no problem to fly this, and I am just asking, I don’t know if I want it or not. If you have any ideas, you can come and have a look. If you don’t come, forget it. "

"I must be flying well. I am ranked number one in the whole brigade." Deng Lei subconsciously affirmed himself, and then said after a while:

"Let me think about it."
