On December 12, 2022, Mr. Xia Yu, Chairman of Xia Group, and Ms. Yin Suya, General Manager of Xia Pictures, got married. The wedding was held on Kana Island, a private island in the Pacific.
On January 3, 2023, Xia's Industrial Atmospheric Processor commercial machine was successfully developed and recognized by national and international environmental protection organizations. Unit 01 and Unit 02 were successively launched in the North and South Poles, and the greenhouse effect on the earth began to ease.
On April 19, 2023, the space mining industry achieved a breakthrough in the ion engine project, which can break through the first cosmic speed and break free from the constraints of gravity without changing the total mass of the body.
This symbolizes that mankind has entered the starship era from the launch vehicle era, and also marks that Space Mining has become a private enterprise that can provide mature commercial space transportation. Of course, its main business is still minerals.
After dozens of successful unmanned experiments, the Miner Guardian manned starship was successfully launched on September 30, and three space miners selected and trained by the Chinese government landed on the moon. This is also the first time that humans have visited the moon since Apollo 17 in 1972.
In the next 120 days, they will maintain the unmanned facilities launched by the company to the surface of the moon, and will also officially mine the helium-3 resources on the moon to conduct research on controlled nuclear fusion.
On March 15, 2024, the space mining ion engine technology became more mature, and the Mars colonization plan was subsequently proposed. The Xia Group gathered its strength to prepare for it.
On July 21, 2024, more than 3,000 tons of materials were transported to Mars by a mining transport ship, including a prototype of a Mars atmosphere processor.
After the processor started up autonomously, it decomposed carbon dioxide to produce oxygen, and in mid-August, it created a life oasis with an area of 10 square kilometers and a height of 500 meters.
After collecting various operating data, the official version of the Mars atmosphere processor began to be developed. Xia's Industrial valuation came from behind, defeating Xia's Catering and becoming on par with Jierui Power. The total market value of Xia Group exceeded 3 trillion US dollars.
As early as a year ago, Xia Yu, who has several listed companies under his name, defeated Bezos and became the world's richest man by relying on technology. Now his net worth is far ahead of the second place.
On August 6, 2024, Yin Suya gave birth to a baby boy on Kanai Island. Xia Yu named him Xia Qiao, which means the bridge between the earth and the universe.
On October 15, 2024, Wanfeng Farm in the suburbs of Fudong underwent a huge change. All the maple trees were dug out, bundled, and transported to the Donghai Spaceport. They were launched into space in batches and eventually replanted on Mars.
On December 12, 2024, Xia Yu, Jiang Baiying and their relatives boarded the Queqiao transport ship to Mars. The Mars castle modeled after Neuschwanstein Castle had just been completed, and the two held a grand Martian wedding in front of the castle, next to a maple tree.
Xia Yu fulfilled his promise and married his two beloved women within three years and before he turned 30. And signing a lifelong marriage contract in front of this maple forest where they had fallen in love was also the original promise made by Xia Yu and Jiang Baiying.
This is probably what it means to marry for love. Although this man is not very loyal, he is at least responsible and fulfills all his promises.
Wearing a wedding dress, looking at the senior in front of her, Jiang Baiying couldn't help but think in her heart.
Two years ago, it was Sister Su Ya. Today is her big day, but she needs to give birth to a child for her senior as soon as possible. Sister Su Ya just got pregnant with her second child, so she can't fall behind.
Xia Yu did not let Xiao Jiang fall behind and successfully conceived a baby that night. This was the information fed back by the nanorobot injected into her blood vessels, and according to the sex chromosomes, it showed that it was a girl.
A girl is good. The senior sister’s second child is also a son. Xia Yu has been looking forward to a little princess. This time, he finally got his wish.
Xia Yu was extremely delighted. Xiao Jiang would be living on Mars for a year, and this child would be the first native-born Martian citizen in the future.
He once watched a movie called "Back to Mars". The male protagonist in the movie was born on Mars. His mother died giving birth to him. Because of the gravity on Mars, his bones also had problems and he could not survive on Earth for a long time.
This is not a problem for Xia Yu. With the technology he has mastered, he can easily solve it and it will definitely not affect the child's health.
On October 3, 2025, Jiang Baiying successfully gave birth to a baby girl. Xia Yu, who was waiting outside the delivery room, immediately named her Xia Yingying.
The father's last name and the mother's first name (homonym) seem a bit perfunctory, but the child's grandparents named her mother this way, so his father just went with the flow.
It’s just that, although the name sounds nice, the skin of a newborn baby is wrinkled and the appearance is not very good at this time. I hope he can inherit the good looks of his parents.
At this time, Yingying's older brother, two-year-old Xia Qiao, came to Mars on an interstellar transport ship to visit Baiying's mother and little sister on behalf of his mother and younger brother.
In nearly a year, the colonization of Mars has developed rapidly, and relevant laws and regulations have been further implemented. Because of interstellar colonization, the scope of human activities has expanded, the confrontation between countries on Earth has weakened, and human civilization is rapidly developing towards the next stage.
When science and technology did not develop significantly, human development was dominated by interests. When the scientific and technological revolution entered the era of interstellar colonization, interests pushed various groups to put aside their prejudices and expand outward together.
Perhaps within a few decades, an alliance dominated by the interests of all mankind will be formed. This sounds idealistic, but centuries ago, colonists could establish their own countries. Centuries later, interstellar colonists can also establish their own habitable planets instead of crowding into a small mother star.
Both world wars were fought over the struggle for living space. However, with the development of science and technology today and in the foreseeable future, the vast universe is no longer out of reach. In the future, humans will not lack living space, and past conflicts and disputes can be put aside.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
