This is a Pillar of the Nation

"Chairman, the ship has docked."

Alita came in to report, and immediately the academicians who had just hastily eaten dropped their boxed lunches and rushed to the dock.

When everyone arrived at the container terminal, the 10,000-ton container ship had already docked with the assistance of tugboats.

The ship's captain had been terrified the entire journey. Who would believe that his 10,000-ton container ship was escorted to the dock by warships?

The dozen or so people on board who were returning to the country were asked by the company to build good business relationships with them. After all, during this period of intense competition, having such a wealthy client was truly a blessing.

However, the people on board were completely unsmiling, so cold they seemed capable of freezing people to death. They simply ate, slept, and used the restroom according to routine, saying almost nothing else.

This was also Chu Feng's arrangement. Externally, they were living, breathing people, but internally, they were just cold machines.

The captain and the crew were all stunned by the large reception on the dock. What was going on? They even needed special police for security?

Could it be that everyone on this ship was a terrorist? Thinking about the strangeness of these people in the past few days, the more they thought about it, the more scared they became, and the more they felt their suspicions were true.

"The company has really harmed me this time..." The captain couldn't help but feel bitter. As the captain, he usually received the highest salary and didn't have to do much work, but he was responsible for overseeing all matters on the ship. In general, it meant that if nothing happened, he was fine, but if something happened, he was in trouble.

The anticipated arrest did not happen. Instead, port personnel greeted the crew, while those "strange people" disembarked to everyone's welcome.

"Welcome home, overseas compatriots!"

The mayor, leading the city's leadership team, made a welcoming gesture without hesitation. These were treasures, and it was said they would all work in their respective jurisdictions. This would be Hailing's calling card, and Mayor Shen couldn't help but attach importance to it.

"Hello, Mayor Shen, we have successfully brought the equipment to Hailing and completed the mission." The words were cold, without a trace of emotion, but no one cared. As long as you were capable, that was considered personality!

"Mr. Chu, the scientific research team and the accompanying equipment have arrived safely. Please give your instructions."

He turned and reported to Chu Feng. After all, they were engineering robots without emotions. The previous few sentences were temporarily made up by Chu Feng; otherwise, Mayor Shen would have been even more awkward.

"Storage, let's go to the conference room first. Everyone can get to know each other, and the containers also need to be unloaded. We can just wait."

As the host, Chu Feng could only arrange for everyone to go to the conference room first.

"Yes, everyone go over," Old Lu also said. Seeing that the equipment and personnel had arrived, he didn't care about a little delay. The big stone in his heart had finally landed.

A group of people rushed out and then returned. The staff had already tidied up the tables completely.

Once seated, each person had a simple cup of tea in front of them.

Seeing that everyone was present, Chu Feng took the initiative to have the arriving engineering robots introduce themselves.

"Hello everyone, I am Gong Yi, a materials engineer at Origin Company."

"Hello everyone, I am Gong Er, a mechanical engineer at Origin Company."

"Hello everyone, I am Gong San, an information technology engineer at Origin Company."

Admittedly, the introductions were concise. This was also why Chu Feng was too lazy to come up with names and simply arranged them in order of one, two, three, four, and five. It was easy to tell who did what just by hearing it, but everyone still didn't understand what kind of technology these people possessed.

Among the arriving academicians were many from various fields, all curious about the so-called overseas Chinese scientific research team.

Old Lu was the leader, and naturally, he needed to probe the backgrounds of these people.

With Chu Feng's signal that they could ask anything, everyone eagerly spoke up.

Although these engineers were robots, their foundation was incredibly strong. While they couldn't master the high-end technology of Planet Taibo, with their knowledge reserves, they could easily defeat not only this planet but even a civilization of level three.

Chu Feng couldn't understand any of the questions posed by the senior academicians and could only listen boredly. However, the senior academicians felt as if they had received enlightenment. So it could be done this way?

The problems that had tormented them in the past were utterly effortless in the mouths of these people. Some academicians were even criticized to the point of blushing, yet they still didn't give up, as if they had returned to their apprenticeship when they first entered the field of scientific research, facing their mentors.

It could even be said that the knowledge and skills possessed by the people present were enough to completely surpass their mentors. This made the senior academicians seem to have found a second spring. From initial discussions to seeking advice, and finally to admiration!

The assistants or leaders accompanying them were dumbfounded. These old academicians who had spent their lives in scientific research were all incredibly arrogant. Their tempers might not have been terrible, but they were certainly proud. When had they ever become like obedient children?

This had completely overturned their worldview.

The entire conference room was filled with exclamations like "Master Gong is right!"

"Yes, yes, how did I not think of that?"

"So that's how it is, the Master is amazing."

This was not the demeanor of arrogant academicians at all; they were like elementary school students...

"I wonder if Master Gong would be willing to come and guide us at the Jinling Chinese Academy of Sciences? Our Jinling Chinese Academy of Sciences is willing to treat you with academician-level treatment."

An old academician from Jinling extended an invitation.

This stirred up a hornet's nest. Everyone saw it and thought, "Oh no, you old scoundrel is poaching! This won't do. There are only a few of these masters, and it's not enough to go around. We want them too."

With that thought, these old academicians became excited again.

"Masters, our Yangcheng academicians are recruiting. The benefits will certainly not be lacking. I can authorize double the benefits."

"Masters, don't listen to that guy. Our Magic City has top-notch software and hardware conditions. The academician positions and benefits can all be discussed. We will definitely satisfy you..."

"Our Kyoto..."

The atmosphere changed, and the scientific research discussion turned into a marketplace. They were all making counteroffers and denigrating other places, just wanting to poach these masters to their branch campuses. As long as these masters could go to their branch campuses, their branch campuses' scientific research capabilities would immediately improve by several levels, completely dominating other branch campuses. How could they not be tempted?

This made Chu Feng feel a bit awkward. Only he knew that these engineering robots would never agree, and neither would he. Who knew what kind of trouble would arise?

Chu Feng instructed Gong Yi to speak, "Thank you all for your kind invitations. We are deeply honored, but as we were trained by Origin Company, we can only decline your good intentions. However, if you have any questions in the future, everyone is welcome to come to Hailing to discuss them. We will be very welcoming, and once the equipment is installed, you can also verify your conjectures."

After hearing Gong Yi's words, the conference room finally quieted down. Everyone looked at Chu Feng with some resentment, as if Chu Feng had become the villainous landlord Huang Shiren from the past. These people could all be considered pillars of the nation, and it felt like a waste of talent and underutilization for them to be in a small company like Origin Company.

However, they were cultivated by the company, and the company had its own thoughts and decisions.

Besides, they had already stated that any future issues could be discussed, which was essentially seeking advice. What more could they be dissatisfied with?

After all, one couldn't be too greedy, could they? The future was long, and who knew if these masters might change their minds later?

Well, he needed to send a few of his favored students to be stationed in Hailing. With these masters present, it was conceivable that Hailing would become a cradle of scientific research achievements in the future, a holy land for all Chinese researchers.

It was easy to imagine how much these "masters" meant to the old academician.

Director Chen also heard Lin Lin's report, and when he learned of the old academician's attitude towards the so-called overseas Chinese research team, he almost fell out of his chair.

However, in an instant, his heart was filled with ecstasy. This was something he had facilitated, and it was his decision to treat Chu Feng well despite the pressure. He just didn't expect the reward to come so quickly; he could already foresee his future path being smooth sailing and a rapid ascent to success.

"This kid Chu Feng is really my lucky star!"

When Chen Rongzhong heard that Chu Feng needed to arrange household registration for these precious researchers, he patted his chest and guaranteed that it would be done.

These treasures were worth cherishing. Although obtaining Chinese citizenship was the most difficult, such talent would be welcomed anywhere. Chen Rongzhong believed that if they truly wanted to join any other country, they would be treated as national treasures.

Suddenly noticed we're seventh on the new book list, feeling a bit excited. In a good mood, I'll add an extra chapter.
