"Your academy's only interested in training astronauts for long-distance travel, isn't it?" he asked earnestly.
The four astronauts exchanged looks and nodded.
"Yeah, Mr. Wu. We'd like to train more astronauts like us to support China's aerospace industry."
Wu Mo nodded. He felt that their ideas were very good, but they still needed to broaden their horizons and approach.
Then, Wu Mo continued, "Have you ever thought that the most important thing now is not to travel long distances? Instead, we need to pilot battle spaceships, protect the planet, and fight against alien civilizations."
The four astronauts were stunned when they heard this.
They shook their heads to show that they had not realized this before.
Hence, Wu Mo smiled and suggested, "I have a good idea. I'd like to start a course in your academy to train battleship pilots. What do you think?"
