Chapter 189 The Early-Death Second-Generation Star in an Urban Entertainment Novel (Part 16)
After the Chinese people had all been injected with the gene serum, the country decided to provide it to other countries. It was unlikely that they would not provide it, and China could not fight the world alone, as it would be a losing proposition. However, while they were providing it, the price was very high. They thought the technology they were using was too rudimentary and wanted the raw materials to build spaceships.
China's development is getting better every day. The country has also selected many companies through Pangu AI to provide them with technology. Jiang Yue's Xinghai Company was also selected. Jiang Yue chose spaceship manufacturing technology. After evaluation, they were deemed qualified. Subsequently, Xinghai Company entered a period of rapid development, striving to be the first company to find a life-bearing planet. According to interstellar law, the first discoverer will receive great benefits.
However, the country had already built a spaceship and explored the surrounding area, so other companies would have to run far away if they wanted to find it. Speaking of the country and the company, we have to talk about Jiang Yue's family. After Jiang's parents were injected with gene serum, they experienced a second spring and gave birth to twin brothers and sisters for Jiang Yue. Jiang's parents were a little embarrassed when they told Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue comforted her parents, saying, "Anyway, I don't plan to get married. It's just a good time for them to grow up and inherit the family company."
Jiang Yue's parents were startled by these words. They thought that their frequent absences from home when they were young had made Jiang Yue afraid of marriage. Jiang Yue was both amused and exasperated, wondering how they could have come up with such a thing: "What are you talking about? You two are so loving and treat me so well, how could I think like that?"
“I knew I was different from others a few years ago. When others were just beginning to experience romantic feelings, I wasn’t. Later I realized that I have no interest in men, and it has nothing to do with you guys.”
Jiang Yue spoke with such sincerity that her parents were half-believing and half-doubting. It took them a long time to accept the news. However, now that Jiang Yue was rich and the country was so kind as to give them free gene injections, they could live for another hundred years. Their concern about her not getting married was because they were afraid she would be lonely in her old age. Now, when they were gone, Jiang Yue would be over a hundred years old, with her twins to keep her company. What was there to be lonely about?
After figuring it out, they happily accepted the 'bad news' and started talking to Jiang Yue about raising a child. Jiang Yue touched her mother's belly. Although she couldn't feel anything now, she knew that the child would probably have many 'happy' years after birth. Now the education system has been reformed, many subjects have been added, and primary school has become ten years, while junior high and high school have become five years, which adds up to ten years. In other words, compulsory education will last for twenty years.
Not to mention university. Although it's not like Jiang Yue's interstellar society where she studied for over twenty years, it's still a considerable amount of time. Each key discipline takes more than ten years. Starting this year, all the students who haven't graduated have caught up. In the past, they were already married by the time they were twenty-two, but now they're still in junior high school.
"Goose, goose, goose, goose."
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue burst into laughter, startling her mother and father. Jiang Yue told them what she had been thinking, and her mother slapped her before laughing along with her.
After dealing with things at home, she started dealing with company matters. Society was changing a lot, and the company employees were also restless, thinking all sorts of things. Some people thought that the benefits had improved and didn't want to go to work anymore, but most people were still rational. Jiang Yue didn't stop those who left, because it's not like they can't come back.
As times progress, individuals must also keep up. With their extraordinary abilities, Xinghai Company's research on spaceships progressed rapidly, completing the research in just one or two years. Xinghai was the first company outside of nations to develop a spaceship. After six months of live-streamed testing, orders exploded when the spaceship returned to Earth.
The current spacecraft can only be described as a sightseeing spacecraft, not a true exploration spacecraft. However, once the 0 to 1 and 1 to 100 are mastered, it will not be so difficult. The company carried out space tourism business while developing exploration and transportation spacecraft. After a few years, after the exploration, transportation and mining spacecraft were developed, the company formed its own exploration fleet and began its exploration journey.
Unfortunately, they are not yet capable of planetary terraforming technology, and the government has not announced it. They can only search for habitable planets. Although they have not found any yet, Jiang Yue guesses that day is not far off, and many people will probably be able to travel to other planets in their lifetime.
After I got home from get off work in the evening, my two little devils came running over. The twins are five years old this year and they especially like Jiang Yue, their older sister. They both wanted Jiang Yue to hug them. Jiang Yue's twins are similar to other children's twins. If you hug one of them first, the other one will complain. Luckily, Jiang Yue is strong and can pick them up one by one.
The two little kids exchanged a glance and snorted. Jiang's mother and Aunt Sun looked at the two children, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. During the meal, the two of them kept putting food on Jiang Yue's plate. One put a chicken leg on her plate, and the other put two chicken wings on her plate. In the end, Jiang's mother couldn't stand it anymore and suppressed the two of them. After the meal, Jiang Yue asked where her father had gone: "Him? Didn't you give him a small spaceship? He went fishing with his friends in Antarctica or somewhere."
"Isn't it illegal to go to Antarctica now?"
The fishermen were happiest when the spaceship came out, because now they can go fishing anywhere, which is very convenient. In the end, they made a mess of Antarctica, and the government had to step in and restrict the opening hours of some special places.
"I don't know about that. I haven't been home for several days now. If it weren't for the fact that I can contact people through the personal computer, I would have thought I was missing."
Speaking of personal computers, Jiang Yue secretly replaced her family's computers with advanced ones that had protective features. Since leaving the spaceship in Xinghai, there were some unidentified people around her, and Jiang Yue was afraid something might happen, so she replaced all her family's personal computers. With the puppet protecting them in secret, their safety should be fine.
After dinner, Jiang Yue played with the twins for a while and put the two mischievous kids to sleep. Then she went to the study to handle some official business. The next day, when Jiang Yue got up, the twins were already awake. Jiang Yue's mom was too lazy to get up today. After dinner, Jiang Yue and Aunt Sun took the two children to the nearby kindergarten. After they entered the kindergarten, Jiang Yue took Aunt Sun home before going to the company.
When Jiang Yue arrived at the company, her secretary had already prepared tea for her. The secretary was still Liu. After handling official business all morning and browsing the news online for a while, it was time for lunch. Just as she was about to eat, Liu informed her that people from the government had arrived. Jiang Yue put aside her lunch and went to greet them. After showing them around for a while, they got down to business.
The main topic was the spaceship. Jiang Yue was warned not to leak the technology and that security should be strengthened recently. The export of the spaceship should also be strictly in accordance with national regulations. Jiang Yue nodded to indicate that she understood. The government trusted Jiang Yue a lot, after all, everyone could see what she had done over the years. What they were afraid of was that Jiang Yue would be careless and someone would take advantage of her.
