Chapter 2370: Join the Cataclysmic Front

Hearing Ye Chen's question, Lang Hongjun shook his head with a blank face and smiled bitterly: "In this situation, what plans could I have? It was only thanks to you that I survived. So, for now, I'll just go back to the United States and think of other ways..."

Ye Chen looked at him and said very seriously: "Brother, since you had already planned to travel thousands of miles to Mexico to work as a sailor, I think it will be very difficult for you to find a suitable job back in the United States."

Hearing this, Lang Hongjun's expression became somewhat awkward and helpless.

He sighed long and said: "If I can't find a suitable job, I'll just find some low-end work to do. My mother can find work at a restaurant, so I definitely can too."

Ye Chen looked at him and smiled: "Brother, in my opinion, why not do this? Since you've already come out, there's no need to rush back. Since you work in communication engineering, why not join the Cataclysmic Front and work for the Cataclysmic Front in the future? The Cataclysmic Front now relies on the Middle East as its base, radiating globally through both sea and air routes. The demand for communication will definitely become more and more frequent and higher in the future. We really need talents like you."

When Ye Chen said these words, he already had two plans in mind.

If Lang Hongjun accepted his invitation, that would naturally be the best. He would definitely have Wan Pojun give him a generous salary and then take him directly to the Middle East.

But if Lang Hongjun did not agree, he definitely could not let him return to the United States with the secret of what happened here. He would do as he did with the other rescued people and erase all their memories of today.

However, Ye Chen did not want to try the second plan easily.

After all, he and Lang Hongjun had met, which could be considered a bit of fate. If he erased his memory, the two would have no further intersection in the future, and Lang Hongjun would also forget today's bloody lesson and muddle-headedly return to the United States to look for work again.

In comparison, Ye Chen hoped more to take him under his command and at the same time let him keep this memory. This could be considered a happy ending for everyone.

Lang Hongjun did not expect that Ye Chen would invite him to join the Cataclysmic Front.

At this moment, he did not hesitate at all, but instead asked extremely pleasantly: "Brother, does a person like me really have the qualifications to join the Cataclysmic Front?"

Ye Chen said seriously: "Brother, you are an expert in communication. The Cataclysmic Front needs talents like you. Moreover, the core members of the Cataclysmic Front are almost all overseas Chinese, so there are no obstacles in communication, and integrating into it will become very simple. It will definitely be much more comfortable than going back to the United States to work for foreigners."

Lang Hongjun said excitedly, almost without thinking: "I'm willing! I'm willing! My life was saved by you. As long as there is a chance to repay your kindness, I will absolutely not have any hesitation. I don't even want a penny of salary. As long as the Cataclysmic Front can provide me with a meal, I will be satisfied."

Ye Chen smiled and said: "Brother, if you don't want a salary, what will your wife and children do in the United States?"

"It's fine..." Lang Hongjun said very firmly: "One must know how to repay kindness. If it weren't for you, my wife and children would think I had gone missing in the future. They would be worried about me and look for clues everywhere until they found the news that I had been murdered. By then, they might learn the details of my murder from the police, and they would definitely be incomparably painful and heartbroken..."

Speaking of this, Lang Hongjun looked at Ye Chen and choked up: "It was you who saved my life, so that my wife and children would not be heartbroken because of my tragic death. In this regard, you not only saved me but also saved them. In this situation, the fact that I can live is already the best outcome for them. As for the difficulties in life, I believe they should be able to overcome them. It's nothing more than living a bit harder!"

Seeing Lang Hongjun's firm expression and determined eyes, Ye Chen felt a bit moved.

A moment later, he called Wan Pojun to his side and said to him: "Pojun, this Lang Hongjun is an expert in the field of communication. I believe the Cataclysmic Front definitely needs such talent. Let him go back to the Middle East with you."

Wan Pojun smiled and said: "That's really great! The Cataclysmic Front is currently preparing to strengthen its hardware investment in the field of communication, and we are just lacking such talent to help us complete the infrastructure and the planning of future blueprints!"

Ye Chen smiled: "Good! In my opinion, in the future, the Cataclysmic Front can even customize its own communication satellites from communication companies and then find commercial satellite launch companies to launch them, building its own satellite communication system. After all, the internal communication of the Cataclysmic Front requires a very high level of confidentiality. But if it relies on communication and network services provided by other operators, it is difficult to achieve 100% security. If it is a completely autonomously built communication network, the security level will inevitably be greatly enhanced."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "I remember that now, private and private enterprises seem to be able to launch their own satellites."

"Yes." Lang Hongjun, who was on the side, knew a lot about this aspect. He nodded immediately without thinking and said: "The three biggest problems with private satellite launches are actually related to money. One is the research, development, and production of the satellite itself, another is the launch cost of the satellite, and the third is the approval process required for launching the satellite. If we launch a satellite in the name of the Cataclysmic Front, I estimate that various countries will be quite sensitive. I suggest that we can first register a legal private company in the United States or an offshore center like the Cayman Islands, and then through this private company, connect with satellite R&D enterprises, launch enterprises, and approval departments."

Wan Pojun, who was on the side, asked hurriedly: "Mr. Lang, may I ask what the total cost of launching a communication satellite is?"

Lang Hongjun thought for a while and said: "If you only want to achieve the Cataclysmic Front's own global communication, rather than wanting to become a to-c communication provider, then the overall demand will actually be much smaller. The cost of the satellite itself is only about ten million US dollars, and the launch cost is even lower. Currently, Elon Musk's SpaceX has a launch quote of about five thousand US dollars per kilogram, and one satellite is only about two million US dollars. If it is global communication, being able to guarantee twenty or thirty satellites will definitely be foolproof!"

Wan Pojun did not know much about this aspect and couldn't help but exclaim: "Is it really that many, twenty or thirty satellites?"

Lang Hongjun nodded and said: "Twenty or thirty is actually not many. Elon Musk's Starlink satellites have already launched thousands so far, and thousands more will be launched in the future, with a total number of over ten thousand. If you want to achieve global communication, naturally the more satellites, the better. If you can ensure that there are satellites overhead at any time, you can almost achieve global surface coverage without dead angles. Moreover, the more satellites, the higher the processing capability and communication bandwidth. However, his satellites are self-developed and self-launched, so the cost will be relatively much lower. And because he is for commercial use, the demand is large. For the Cataclysmic Front's internal use, the demand will be relatively much lower."

After hearing this, Ye Chen was overjoyed and said: "Brother is indeed a professional talent! Since that's the case, then you come to the Cataclysmic Front to lead this matter, and strive to build a set of the Cataclysmic Front's own satellite communication network in the shortest possible time!" ===== CHAPTER 2371 =====
