This is home, and the island is also home. Wherever the family is, that is home. After all, it will take some time for Xia Yu to form a "small" family.
After resting at home for a day, the family of three set off for the airport. The road is a little farther than Hongqiao, but it is close to the headquarters of Universe Mining!
Sherlock 2 took off. Xia Yu didn't rush to ask Lao Qian to increase the altitude. Instead, he introduced his future career direction to his parents through the porthole.
"Dad, Mom, do you see that platform? It will be the company's space city, the docking platform for Earth-Moon space transportation."
The construction of the offshore platform has begun, the base has been deeply driven into the continental shelf, and the progress of the project is under control.
"You want to build a rocket?"
Old Xia asked his son while leaning on the porthole.
"No, I want to build a spaceship, not the kind that can be carried by rockets."
Xia Yu expressed his thoughts.
In his opinion, reusable rockets are too inefficient and Musk's Starship project is not very reliable. If humans want to truly travel through the solar system, spacecraft must rely on autonomous power to break through the third cosmic speed.
The atmospheric mode of the Prometheus can easily achieve this. Xia Yu has asked Walter to use the spacecraft's main control computer to simulate the technical difficulties and strive to obtain a solution that can be implemented by current human technology.
His plan was to produce a reliable prototype within five years. If all went well, he would marry his senior on Earth within these five years, and five years later he would marry Xiao Jiang on Mars.
If things don't go well, the original plan will remain unchanged. After all, he has the ability now, but it cannot be exposed for the time being.
“It’s going to be difficult!”
Lao Xia is an old science and engineering man. He is still very concerned about the technology industry and he knows the difficulties involved.
"It's not easy, but money is meant to be spent, isn't it? Spending it all on realizing the value of life is better than leaving nothing to your children. Modern times are not ancient times, and the idea of a wealthy family is unacceptable."
Xia Yu is a wealthy man, but he doesn't want to be part of a wealthy family. It's time to change the way humans have thought for thousands of years, otherwise they will just keep repeating history and go backwards.
"You think so?"
Old Xia and his wife looked at each other. They didn't expect their son to have such advanced ideas.
"Well, that's how I think. That's why I've achieved what I have today. Otherwise, Xia's Catering would have been enough to make our family rich for the rest of our lives. Why would we have to go through all this trouble?"
Xia Yu's words left his parents unable to refute.
Yes, their son is not the kind of person who is content with a small fortune. He has come this far thanks to luck, hard work, and his own values.
This is the essence of being a super rich person, being able to make money and spend money, instead of holding on to mountains of gold and silver like a miser.
Xia Yu's English name is Sherlock, which is the Chinese translation of Shylock and Sherlock, and each of these two names has a representative character.
Sherlock is Sherlock Holmes created by Conan Doyle, while Shylock is the usurer and wealthy Jewish businessman created by Shakespeare. He is cruel and greedy, and is one of the four greatest misers in world literature.
Such a person is quite rich, but he doesn't have the temperament of a wealthy person at all, so Xia Yu is Sherlock, not Shylock.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. We're going to stay on the island for a month. How are you going to arrange it, Mom and Dad?"
Xia Yu asked the two of them.
"I'm still learning to fly. I haven't wasted these few months in China. I can now fly the simulator with zero errors."
There are no conditions for actual machine operation in China, but there are simulators, and Lao Xia put in a lot of hard work.
"What about you, Mom?"
"As for me, I'd rather practice the piano. Su Ya has been too busy these past two months, so I have to put piano lessons aside for now."
Lin Shuqin said with some regret.
She gets along well with her future daughter-in-law, who also likes the guqin. They are now both teachers and friends. However, there is one daughter-in-law who makes her very conflicted. She has only seen her photo and has never met her in person.
"Everyone is busy making money for me. I'll take her out for some fun in August. Don't worry, Mom."
"You still have some conscience. Be nice to others."
The family can only be harmonious when the mother-in-law stands on the side of the daughter-in-law. Lin Shuqin has a bad relationship with her mother-in-law. Now that she is going to be a mother-in-law, she will try her best to maintain a good relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. However, the situation in their family is a bit complicated. They only have one son but two daughters-in-law.
"I know. On your birthday, Mom, I'll bring Baiying over to see you and Dad."
Xia Yu mentioned another arrangement for this trip. His mother was celebrating her birthday on the island, and Xiao Jiang had been to Kana Island before, so he would introduce them to each other here.
"You've brought her here before, but has Suya been here before?"
Lin Shuqin was a little surprised to hear her son say this.
"Not yet. Didn't I bring her here to meet you two elders first? Besides, she might find life on the island boring. Baiying actually likes it here."
Yin Suya likes lively atmosphere, and the couple knows this after interacting with her. But is Xiao Jiang a patient person?
"Yeah, we've been to Antarctica and the Arctic together, and we've searched for treasure from shipwrecks together. Suya also likes the hustle and bustle of traveling."
Hearing his mother ask this, Xia Yu said.
He and his senior had also been to Xinjiang. She was not very interested in the journey across the desert, but she was quite happy when playing in Lasa.
Different people have different personalities. Explaining this to my parents now will help them get along with their two daughters-in-law in the future.
"So that's how it is. You're quite picky."
"Well, I'm more philanthropic."
