Super technology leader

The next day, Zhao Li's promised counter-espionage team arrived promptly.

The two groups of intelligence personnel totaled 12 people, and overall, they looked quite ordinary, not at all what Tang Chao had imagined.

Their background was also quite legitimate, coming from a private security company called "Strong Shield". After reporting to Tang Chao, they began upgrading the company's security protocols.

This included upgrading and adding surveillance equipment, establishing new access rules, and re-planning the positioning of security personnel, completely overhauling the previously seemingly secure but actually full-of-holes security protocols.

Of course, one thing that the team members acknowledged was the protective capability of the computer firewall. They had attempted to hack it on-site but found no opportunity.

Tang Chao was confident about this, as they were not actually trying to deal with him but rather the top computer experts of Kanxing.

They outlined all the changes that needed to be made and reported them to Tang Chao, who then passed them on to Chen Jing to arrange for people to buy the necessary items and implement the changes.

That wasn't all. While the company was being defended, Tang Chao also needed protection, so they wanted to assign a team member to stay by Tang Chao's side, posing as his assistant.

Of course, Tang Chao could refuse. If he didn't want someone following him, they wouldn't. It was just a suggestion.

Looking at the recommended candidate, Tang Chao's left eye twitched slightly, as if he was about to strike it rich.

Because the recommended person was a beautiful woman.

At first, they were all wearing the "Strong Shield" black security uniforms and hats, so he didn't really notice. It wasn't until she took off her hat and showed herself that he realized she was extraordinary.

This female team member was named Li Bing. She had black, shiny hair a bit shorter than Zhang Qin's, a well-proportioned and athletic figure, and an air of heroism.

According to her introduction, she was skilled in using computers and networks, good at collecting and distinguishing information, and also excelled in shooting and combat.

She could pose as Tang Chao's assistant, providing timely information and personal safety protection.

In that case, Tang Chao would have two assistants. The Lunar Grand Prix hadn't finished yet, and Zhang Qin was still with him.

In fact, there were probably many people who knew he was Captain Tang, but only a few who knew he was the big boss of Interstellar Pathfinder.

After all, every time he appeared in promotional videos, whether in his self-introduction or the introduction subtitles, he was always Captain Tang of the "Kanxing Lunar Landing Department" team.

For a captain to have two assistants, and two beautiful assistants at that, it was too incongruous.

He imagined himself appearing with two beautiful women standing behind him. People who didn't know better would think he was some rich playboy second-generation.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered what Zhao Li had said, something about all countries doing this, and then saying he wouldn't do that to him.

So, what was going on with this Li Bing?

When sending security, couldn't they send someone with an ordinary appearance?

Or was it that, to match his high looks, they could only choose someone so beautiful?

If that was the reason, he would feel much better.

Actually, considering it, having Li Bing by his side would be very beneficial.

Later, he would have to go to America to confront others, and having an expert who could identify spies and a combat expert would greatly ensure his safety.

Although Zhao Li had analyzed the situation for him, saying that the initial focus would generally be on winning him over, and that in the eyes of outsiders, he wasn't that irreplaceable.

After all, the most awesome rocket in Tianxia was the Long March 9, which was more than halfway complete, with a near-Earth orbit carrying capacity of 180 tons, while his only had 110 tons.

It was evident that the situation in Tianxia was still that private companies couldn't compare to the official ones, so the main focus of attention in America would definitely be the official Tianxia space agency.

And in America, their private space development was definitely the most impressive on Earth.

Not only were their overall achievements good, even better than some countries' official space agencies, but the super rockets developed by private companies were also quite super.

Starship's near-Earth orbit carrying capacity reached more than 150 tons, significantly larger than Interstellar Pathfinder's 110 tons, not to mention that with some orbital refueling, Starship could also transport more than 100 tons of cargo to the Moon and Mars.

So, among private space companies, the most awesome was still America's. Tang Chao's had to take a backseat.

Even if they were to win over Tang Chao, it would be to turn Tang Chao into an American, and even eventually turn the company into an American one.

That way, this super rocket would also become American. Wouldn't that be perfect?

No one would refuse to become an American, because it was the most free, valued science, and valued scientific and technological talent.

Of course, talents that didn't align with the national strategy were excluded, such as if the country wanted to resume work, but you opposed it, then you weren't a talent.

That was the basis of Zhao Li's analysis.

He believed that there wouldn't be any dangerous situations at least in the early stages, but Tang Chao felt that what if, what if something happened.

In case of an accident, it would be good to have a strong person by his side.

If nothing unexpected happened in the next two months, he planned to take three people with him when he went to the conference.

One was Zhang Qin, as a business assistant, to handle some business matters, after all, Chen Jing planned to train her in that area.

The other was Li Bing, outwardly as a daily assistant, doing some information gathering, message passing, and recording work.

And then there was Zhang Liyan, an old hand at international conferences. He was just there to fill the numbers.

After all, Tang Chao bringing two beautiful women was too eye-catching. Bringing an older engineer with thinning hair would help neutralize their overly dazzling aura.

But eye-catching or not, having two beautiful women following him at all times was really pleasing to the eye.

Moreover, assistants were assistants, only appearing in work settings, not personal secretaries, let alone mistresses, so as long as he was careful, there wouldn't be a risk of exposing his own secrets.

Very good.

With these arrangements complete, Li Bing was officially on the job. Tang Chao was busy going to meetings and asked her to pay more attention to international information.

Anything related to them, or industry news, especially important ones, should be collected and reported to him.

Next, Interstellar Pathfinder would have more big moves.

Having its own medium-sized launch vehicle, winning first place in the Lunar Grand Prix, and announcing the "Voyager" super-heavy launch vehicle plan, the company was officially making a name for itself internationally.

Like those companies that had been established for several years without results, but then suddenly became famous when their research progress reached a certain stage.

However, for Interstellar Pathfinder, this was not the end, but only the beginning.

They had held several internal meetings and all agreed that the chances of getting a lunar landing contract from America were zero.

With this consensus, they didn't plan to get the lunar landing contract from the beginning, but instead wanted to use this opportunity to promote the company's reputation.

They anticipated America's anticipation, so from the beginning, they took a different path.
