The middle-aged man, upon hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, agreed and said that these people are indeed excellent; they are all talents selected from thousands. To reach this point today, they must have put in countless sweat and effort.

He was very pleased that Jiang Cheng appreciated the astronauts under his command, as it also affirmed his work.

After echoing Jiang Cheng’s sentiments, he cautiously asked Jiang Cheng if they should have the astronauts stop for now so that Jiang Cheng could carefully choose the ones he was satisfied with.

Standing here watching isn’t clear enough; I might as well call them over so you can take a closer look at them.

It seemed he was a bit eager for Jiang Cheng to make his selection; after all, if they just stood there watching, how could he complete the task assigned to him?

Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement after hearing this.

Yes, I’ve seen almost what needs to be seen, they can gather over here now, and I’ll get a closer understanding of their situation.

Jiang Cheng had already seen much of the astronauts’ performance during training, and the next step was to communicate with them face to face to select the final candidates.

Soon, the astronauts stopped their training and gathered around in front of Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng looked at the dozen or so astronauts before him, carefully observing their expressions.

These were the people from Flame Country who had been to space; each of them was a hero to the Guo Family.

Having gone through layers of screening, each one of them who finally executed space missions had extraordinary qualities.

When Jiang Cheng saw all the astronauts gathered, he instructed the middle-aged man beside him: ”First let them know about today’s situation, just standing here won’t reveal much.”

After receiving Jiang Cheng’s directive, the middle-aged man began speaking to the astronauts: ”Today I’m here with President Jiang to select people; President Jiang has a task that requires astronauts, which is why we’re here today to find suitable candidates.”

”This here is President Jiang. I believe I don’t need to introduce him any further; everyone must already know something about him. Today, you need to follow President Jiang’s arrangements and coordinate well to complete the selection process.”

At this, the middle-aged man gestured to Jiang Cheng, indicating to all the astronauts that today’s decision-making was led by Jiang Cheng.

The middle-aged man’s act of showing where the decision lay was quite shrewd; he was signaling to all the astronauts that the day’s matters were under Jiang Cheng’s purview.

By making such a statement, not only could he show favor to Jiang Cheng and let Jiang Cheng feel valued,

but he could also make the astronauts understand where the final decision on selection lay, encouraging them to perform where necessary.

From this, it was evident just how seasoned the middle-aged man was.

A simple gesture could benefit both sides simultaneously.

This was a demonstration of political savvy—a technique known only to those within the system.

Once the astronauts heard Jiang Cheng’s name, they all focused their attention on him.

They were, of course, familiar with Jiang Cheng’s name and had considerable knowledge of him.

With today’s media being so advanced, any bit of news spreads across the globe instantaneously.

Moreover, Jiang Cheng was the darling of the media, and any event involving him would receive wide coverage.

So even if they wanted to know nothing about Jiang Cheng, it would have been difficult; perhaps there was no one in this world who didn’t know the name Jiang Cheng.

Once all the astronauts had focused their attention on Jiang Cheng, the middle-aged man continued introducing today’s situation to them.

Today, President Jiang is here to select astronauts for the Mars landing plan, so everyone must show their best side to help President Jiang pick the right talents.

This Mars landing plan is a space project initiated by President Jiang. Although it isn’t led by the Guo Family, the top levels are very supportive of this plan.

Even the former technical head of the Space Agency has gotten involved in this project, and the Guo Family is fully supporting the initiative; even I must fully cooperate with President Jiang.

Therefore, I ask everyone to take this seriously. This time, there is a chance to personally land on Mars; I won’t say much more, please let President Jiang lead the selection.

Soon, the middle-aged man briefly introduced the selection process and then handed over the task to Jiang Cheng.

Since it was Jiang Cheng who came to make selections, it was better for him to personally take charge.

When they heard the words ’Mars landing,’ all of the astronauts’ eyes sparkled with unusual brilliance.

They hadn’t expected that Jiang Cheng would be undertaking a Mars landing plan; it was quite a shock to them.

These astronauts were familiar with Jiang Cheng’s achievements and knew the technologies he proposed.

Nevertheless, they hadn’t anticipated that Jiang Cheng had the capability for a Mars landing plan.

Last time when Jiang Cheng conducted the Mars mapping plan, these astronauts had learned about related matters and knew that Jiang Cheng had a keen interest in Mars.

However, at the time, they all thought a landing plan would happen far in the future, probably after they had retired, so they paid no further attention to it.

Now, being told that Jiang Cheng was about to carry out the Mars landing plan, it was quite a tremendous shock to them.

Once the impact of these news settled in their hearts, the inner excitement in them became hard to suppress.

As astronauts, they had a strong yearning for Mars; every astronaut dreamed that one day they could walk on the Martian soil themselves.

To an astronaut, landing on Mars might be the ultimate pursuit of their life.

Now that Jiang Cheng could make this dream come true for them, how could they not be excited?

When the dozen or so astronauts heard about the opportunity to land on Mars, they eagerly fixed their hopeful gazes on Jiang Cheng, hoping to be selected as astronauts for this mission.

Seeing the emotions displayed by the astronauts, Jiang Cheng felt even more pleased with them in his heart.

A good astronaut needs more than technical skills and physical fitness; they must possess a heart eager to explore the unknown.

Their great interest in Mars landings assured Jiang Cheng even more.

With such a strong spirit of exploration, these astronauts were bound to complete the Mars landing mission excellently.

As Jiang Cheng looked at the eager astronauts before him, he began to introduce the space mission they were about to undertake in detail. The Mars landing plan requires several astronauts to execute this mission, so today I am here to select

suitable candidates.
