Industry: Cthulhu

Chapter 45 Return to Earth
The Rose sailed slowly in the boundless universe, and the sea of stars outside the window was sometimes twinkling and sometimes quiet.

After the Star Ring Awards ceremony, Fang Yan did not stay in the inner ring of the Milky Way, but bid farewell to Ariadne and returned directly to Earth.

After all, he has been away for quite some time, and things are complicated on Earth. Even with Li Muyun as a good helper, Fang Yan cannot be completely at ease. It is better for him to go back early.

After learning of Fang Yan's decision, Isabella immediately decided to return with him, and this decision was fully supported by Aunt Fanny.

Before leaving, the aunt whispered something in Isabella's ear. No one knew what she said, but Isabella was shy and her face turned red.

So Fang Yan, Isabella, and her teacher Rashid set out on the journey back to Earth directly from the Green Garden Galaxy.

Continuous jump navigation is actually not a fun thing, it's even a bit boring.

Every day Fang Yan would enter his room on time and lie down to sleep quietly.

After all, sleep is not only a rest for him, but also a process of absorbing knowledge. His brain is like a sophisticated receiver, constantly receiving knowledge and data from distant civilizations on every quiet night.

In addition to sleeping, Fang Yan would also sit at the table and concentrate on analyzing data. Relying on the knowledge reserves in his brain, he would design some development routes that are in line with the existing capabilities of the Earth.

Sometimes Isabella would come and watch Fang Yan's fingers moving quickly on the virtual keyboard. Complex formulas and models flowed on the light screen in front of him. Fang Yan's concentration and seriousness in his work always fascinated Isabella.

Perhaps, as the old saying goes, a focused man is the most attractive. When Fang Yan crossed his arms in front of his chest and frowned in thought, when the blueprint and R&D plan gradually became clear in Fang Yan's mind, there would always be an imperceptible light flashing in his eyes.

The two of them would also dine together and then sit for a while in the small garden of the Rose.

But unlike when she came, Isabella no longer talked about those obscure sciences, but talked more about life and her imagination of the future.

Isabella told Fang Yan that she wanted to move the Jilong family's headquarters in the fringe star zone to Earth so that they could meet every day and it would also facilitate long-term cooperation between the two companies.

Although Fang Yan felt that relocating the headquarters was troublesome, he did not object.

Because in his heart, he always felt that Isabella was too fragile and needed care, and he would feel more at ease if he was closer to her.

Everything happens naturally, without any deliberate action, just like the natural stickiness between the positive and negative poles of an electromagnetic field. Over time, the distance between them will get closer and closer, until they finally stick together completely.

Days passed one by one, and after more than twenty days, the navigation system of the Rose finally showed the outline of the long-lost solar system.

……

Fang Yan walked down the gangway of the Rose, and was greeted by the familiar sights of Earth and the warm breeze.

Time flies so fast, Fang Yan sighed. It was still winter when he left, but now it is spring.

Li Muyun and Brown had already been waiting at the dock. As soon as they saw Fang Yan, happy smiles immediately appeared on their faces and they quickly came over to greet him.

Li Muyun was the first to notice the golden Libra badge on Fang Yan's chest. A flicker of excitement flashed in his eyes as he said, "Congratulations, Boss! You've finally achieved your dream and become a Glorious Senior Engineer!"

Brown also walked over and patted Fang Yan on the shoulder, saying with some emotion, "I've studied hard for most of my life, and passed countless tests, big and small, and I'm only a mid-level engineer. And you've been promoted to senior in the blink of an eye. Congratulations, congratulations!"

"But honestly, with your achievements, Senior Engineer is far from enough. It doesn't even reflect your true level. Those people at the Engineering Academy are really stingy. They should just give you a star, or even a two-star badge."

After hearing what Brown said, the three of them burst into laughter. They certainly understood the difficulty of going from zero to a senior engineer. If Fang Yan had not won the Star Ring Award, he would still have to go through boring assessments again and again.

As for star engineers, it's just a joke. No one can go directly from level zero to star. Any star engineer needs to be nominated by both houses.

In fact, in the fringe star regions, senior engineers are already extremely rare, and this status will have a profound impact on the future development of Fangyan, Earth, and Blue Light Technology. At this moment, Rashid and Isabella also disembarked from the Rose.

Their appearance immediately made Brown's eyes look particularly serious, and he became restrained.

"Isabella has decided to relocate the Jilong family's headquarters in the marginal star region to Earth, so I will also be stationed on Earth from now on."

When Rashid said this, Li Muyun and Brown were completely stunned.

They knew very well what it meant to have a star engineer stationed on Earth. If they remembered correctly, there were only three star engineers in the entire rim and the gray star zone.

What's more, Rashid represents not only an individual, but the Jilong family, a family that has long been well-known in the galaxy. If they set up their headquarters in the edge star region on Earth, the impact on the Earth will be immeasurable.

……

White dome.

Blu-ray Technology Headquarters.

Fang Yan arranged rooms for Isabella and Rashid, and promised Isabella to take her around to see the scenery of the earth and taste the earth's delicacies. Then Fang Yan returned to his office. The trip took two months, and Fang Yan couldn't wait to learn about the progress on the earth.

Li Muyun and Brown were already waiting in the office.

Although Brown signed a work contract with the Galactic Alliance and was the Alliance's chief engineer stationed on Earth, due to their good personal relationship, Brown was actually more like a member of Blue Light Technology. Therefore, no matter what Fang Yan did, he would not deliberately avoid him and completely trusted Brown as his own.

After sitting down, Fang Yan asked directly, "I heard that the Earth branch of the Merchant Alliance has been completed ahead of schedule? Is that true?"

Li Muyun smiled and nodded. "That's right. President Gu Tongshu has personally ordered that the construction of the branch be progressing very rapidly. Now everything is ready, and we are just waiting for you to come back and preside over the opening ceremony."

Fang Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise. "So fast? It seems the Merchant Alliance is really sincere about cooperation."

Brown took a sip of tea and said casually, "You held a new product launch during a galaxy-wide live broadcast, and the advertising effect was extraordinary. Now the entire galaxy knows that we are launching quantum field technology. As a group of pioneers and businessmen, the Merchant Alliance must seize the opportunity and strike while the iron is hot."

Fang Yan smiled, a thoughtful look in his eyes, "In that case, we should return the favor and everyone should go to the unveiling ceremony to show their support!"

Li Muyun leaned back in his chair. "Attending the unveiling ceremony isn't a big deal. I guess what you're most concerned about, Boss, is the precision robotic arm, right?"

Fang Yan nodded. "You guessed right. This is indeed what I am most concerned about. I sent back the blueprint a long time ago. What is the result?"

Li Muyun said with a hint of pride, "Boss, the first batch of precision robotic arms has been completed, totaling two thousand units. The quality is fully up to standard and meets your design requirements."

Fang Yan's eyes lit up: "So fast!?"

Li Muyun nodded. "Without Mr. Brown's technical support, we wouldn't have been able to make such rapid progress. He's been incredibly instrumental this time, participating in the entire process and providing many valuable suggestions."

Brown waved his hand nonchalantly. "It's mainly because Fang Yan's blueprints were precise enough, and the factory was very cooperative. I just helped out a little bit in the middle."

A hint of emotion flashed in Fang Yan's eyes. To him, Brown was not only a talent with advanced technology, but also a trustworthy friend. When his contract with the alliance expired, he would try his best to recruit him to his company.

At this time, Li Muyun smiled and said, "Boss, we still have time today. If you are not tired, let's go to the factory to take a look?"
