Chapter 1576: The Promised Land

The Svetovid was freed from the ice tower a month later.

The strength of its armor was stunning. If it was the Seagull or Envoy class that was frozen in this condition, even if the people inside could survive inside the hibernation chamber, the entire starship would likely be scrapped. It was precisely because of this that experts from different countries were so excited when the Svetovid was freed from the ice.

If such armor could be equipped on the Envoy class, or on the Constitution class still in its design phase, it would undoubtedly increase the combat effectiveness of the Earth Fleet.

The Svetovid, freed from the ice, was also quite generous and readily agreed to the request of the Earth Defense Alliance. The related technology was packaged and sold to Future Heavy Industries at a price of 500 million World Dollars, and a small portion of the loan owed to Future Bank was repaid.

Yes, a loan.

Under the Golovin Mental System, the Golovin people did not need a troublesome construct like currency. They possessed their own set of methods to more efficiently measure value, and all individuals in the system widely agreed with this standard. However, the trade between Golovin and Earth civilization needed a standard for value measurement.

Golovin I chose World Dollar, and he asked for a seat in the World Union Reserve to exercise voting and supervision rights in addition to the right to propose.

It was the practice of most countries that joined the World Union Reserve. After all, if the currency was issued indiscriminately, the interests of the entire economy would be damaged. However, what Golovin cared about was not the economic issues. They just had to ensure that the over-issued currency of the World Union Reserve will not harm Golovin’s interests.

The total expenditure of the icebreaking project was 113.1 billion World dollars. Although it was jointly funded by many countries in the world, the Svetovid also assumed 40% of the debt.

In three years, most of the debt was repaid by technology. Among them, the warp engine was auctioned at a high price of 50 billion world dollars, and it was finally won by the wealthy Future Heavy Industries. If it were not for the consideration made by other countries that the technological gap may be too large to digest, the actual price could have more than doubled.

Someone could ask, since the warp engine was sold for such a large sum of money, why the Svetovid still had debts to pay?

It was worth mentioning that these debts were not related to the icebreaking project, but owed elsewhere.

Based on the relevant resolution made by the Defense Alliance on the issue of the refugees from the Golovin civilization, three votes vetoed the proposal for Siberia and the decision was to ultimately select a piece of land on Mars as a resting place for the refugees from the Golovin civilization.

If no preparations were made, it was impossible to survive on bare Mars, even for the Golovins.

Therefore, after Golovin discussed this issue with Jiang Chen, Golovin decided to use the method from Earth civilization to solve this issue, which was to

To build a city on Mars, there were basically only two materials needed; one was steel and the other was graphene.

Because there was no need to consider the oxidation of the material, it was no problem to weld a house with clad steel, but the appearance was on the ugly side. If the building did not feel aesthetic enough, a layer of graphene or nano-ceramic interlayer could be applied on the outside, which would not only enhance the strength of the building but also increase its aesthetic.

Now the largest real estate developer in Heavenly Palace City was Future Development, which was spun off from Future Heavy Industries three years ago, and followed by B City Steel Group, which was controlled by the B City Consortium. Graphene and nano-ceramics were still dominated by Future Heavy Industries. Although Heavenly Palace City was open to foreign investment, these lucrative industries were still controlled by Future Group.

With 200 million tons of steel and 30 million tons of graphene composite materials, the steel and graphite factories in Heavenly Palace City almost operated at max capacity. The project took three years, and more than 100 billion World Dollars was invested to finally build a futuristic city on the barren desert.

Two months after the completion of the icebreaking project, the Svetovid, which was freed from the ice, repaired the damaged parts and restarted the warp engine. Under the watch of Europa’s colonists, it moved towards the synchronous orbit of Mars.

After the Svetovid passed through the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, two Seagull-class ships equipped with gravitational shields and heavy-mass accelerators approached the ship, and after contact with the Svetovid, they assumed the escort mission.

Although the mission was an escort mission, in fact, it was inevitable that there would be a sense of alertness and vigilance. After all, the Svetovid was not an unthreatening civilian ship, and the row of mass accelerators on the side of the hull looked daunting.

But Golovin did not show any aggressive behavior, or that they did not take the two little ants next to them seriously. After the ship docked at the space port in the synchronous orbit of Mars, Golovin I passed the gangway specially designed for them and entered the space port. There, he met Hong Zewei, the mayor of Heavenly Palace City.

"Did you see the place? That is your future home." Hong Zewei stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows of the spaceport, smiled, and pointed to the fiery red ground outside the window with a small silver-white spot on it. "We reserved the naming right for you on the map, and you can choose a nice name for this city."

"Name? Then it’s called Svetovid," Golovin I nodded slightly, "Thank you for everything you have done for us. As agreed, we will use our technology to build a shipyard on the synchronous orbit."

For Golovin, there was no need for such a thing as a name. But as the ruler of Golovin, he certainly did understand the habit of humans who like to name things they hadn’t seen before.

"No rush. We can discuss that after you settle down first." Hong Zewei smiled, with friendliness, then said, "City of Svetovid? I will help you register it on the colony map. In addition, according to the colony law, all people who enter Mars must register their identity information. Your situation is a bit special so we won’t have to register, but we have to take the liberty to ask, how many people are there on your ship?"

"Five thousand people."

"Five thousand people… We will prepare the supplies and necessities that five thousand people need for a month, including water, liquid oxygen, gas, and nutrient supplies. The market in Heavenly Palace City is open to you at any time. If you need anything, please let me know," Hong Zewei smiled slightly and said in a friendly manner.

"We will buy these aid materials at market price. You have provided us with enough help, which makes us uneasy." As Golovin nodded to express his friendliness, he paused for a moment before he continued, "Pass my greetings to your leader, Golovin appreciates those who keep their promises. It seems that we will get along well before the end."

Hong Zewei was slightly taken back, but he then quickly smiled and nodded.

"I will convey the message for you."

Chapter 1579: I’m going to be a father?</h2><p>In addition to the two matters with Golovin and the Earth Defense Alliance, an extraordinary event also happened recently.</p><p>This matter was so serious that Jiang Chen, the executive of the alliance, was absent from the Earth Defense Alliance committee meeting on the "Project Trench". His absence left Kelvin sitting there as well as the committee members staring at each other…</p><p>As for what happened that made Jiang Chen so flustered.</p><p>Um…</p><p>It could be summarized in one sentence.</p><p><em>Sun Jiao is pregnant…</em></p><p><em>Is pregnant.</em></p><p><em>Pregnant.</em></p><p><em>Important things must be said three times.</em></p><p>"…I’m not that delicate, I’m just pregnant with a baby." Sun Jiao watched Jiang Chen carefully bring the food to her side and cool the food in the spoon before he put the spoon to her lips. She couldn’t stop rolling her eyes as she snatched the bowl in his hand. and placed it on the bedside table next to her. While she viciously gritted her teeth, she said, "Enough, if this continues, I’m going to go crazy, I’d rather fight with Death Claws! "</p><p>"Sister, you can’t do this, be careful with your baby…" Xiaorou, who stood on the side, rarely did not tease her sister. Thus, she also joined to persuade her.</p><p>"NONSENSE! My body is in good health, very well! BLURR…"</p><p>Before she finished, Sun Jiao held on to Jiang Chen and threw up all over the place…</p><p>After she encountered a not-so-pleasant experience, she finally settled down. However, she was not the type to remain calm. It didn’t take a week before she looked at Jiang Chen with teary eyes as she blinked in a wimpy state.</p><p>"Or…I won’t give birth to this child?"</p><p>Jiang Chen, who held the millet porridge, stared at her and almost dropped the bowl.</p><p>"Don’t, don’t be angry…" Sun Jiao rolled her eyes, then her eyes stopped on Xiaorou who held a towel, "What do you think of my sister? Isn’t it the same for her to give birth instead of me…"</p><p>"Sister, you can’t say such things." Xiaorou raised her eyebrows, and in the rare scenario, took a serious stance, "I will be angry if you continue to act like this."</p><p>"Okay, okay, AHHHHHHH! I’ll just lie down!"</p><p>After the wild kitten settled down in defeat, she finally didn’t resist and bit onto the spoon Jiang Chen put close to her mouth. Then, she ate the bowl of porridge bit by bit while she stared straight.</p><p>Neither Xiaorou nor Yao Yao had any experience in taking care of pregnant women, let alone children in the future. As for Lin Lin, it would be fortunate if she could take care of herself, let alone someone else.</p><p>Although Ayesha took the initiative to take care of Sun Jiao, Jiang Chen didn’t want to leave this trouble to her, not to mention that her job was not easy. Ghost Agents were the eyes of Celestial Trade, and it was needless to emphasize the importance of eyes.</p><p>As for Xia Shiyu, although she worked very hard to discuss recipes with Yao Yao and study what should be given to pregnant women to help the growth of the baby, as a person who never gave birth before, and another person who looked like a child, it would be odd if they could come up with anything useful!</p><p>Finally, Jiang Chen thought of a suitable candidate.</p><p>In order to take care of Sun Jiao, he invited Qian Xia over.</p><p>This was not a temporary decision made on the fly. He still gave a lot of thought about bringing Qian Xia to Xin.</p><p>He probably wouldn’t have much chance to go to the mansion in Nippon anyway. He originally bought it to take advantage of the bottom in the Yoto real estate market as an investment. But now, this small investment did not matter to him. Conversely, people in Yoto used this as an entry point to flatter him in every possible way, and it made him feel that the deal was really a loss to him.</p><p>Since he preferred this maid’s work, it would be a shame to just leave her over there.</p><p>It happened that Sun Jiao was pregnant and needed professional care, so Jiang Chen brought her from Nippon</p><p>Of course, he specifically asked for his girls’ opinions on this matter.</p><p>There was no consensus, but at least there was no opposition.</p><p>After all, she was a nursing professional, and she was definitely more experienced than amateurs when it came to pregnancy care. And because of the special nature of Jiang Chen’s family, it was impossible to hire someone they didn’t know the background of. Although because of Qian Xia’s sensitive identity as Jiang Chen’s "little lover", he had gotten countless eye rolls from the girls. However, in the end, even the most possessive Xia Shiyu agreed on this.</p><p>"There’s already eight anyway, I don’t care if there is one more." One night after they drank some wine, Jiang Chen asked about this before going to bed. Xia Shiyu, who was wrapped in a bath towel, sat on the sofa, tilted the wine glass in her hand while she dangled her slender legs and replied in a drunken tone.</p><p>It was not that Jiang Chen couldn’t understand her feelings.</p><p><em>Just…</em></p><p><em>Where did number eight come from?</em></p><p>…</p><p>"…You already made her pregnant. From my perspective, our family is not the kind of unjust people. If you do that kind of thing, you will be despised by others! You are now a public figure, if you get into a… scandal over this, the impact is quite bad! I think Sun Xiaorou looks pretty. Her butt looks like she can definitely give birth to a son… If you want my opinion, you might as well marry her." Perhaps Jiang Chen’s mom watched too many soap operas but after she heard about this, she scolded Jiang Chen over this countless times</p><p>"Mom, her name is Sun Jiao… Xiaorou is her younger sister."</p><p>"What, her…sister? Then you and her sister…you, you…"</p><p>Jiang Chen’s mom’s eyes widened.</p><p>There was no need to think, he could already guess what his mother was going to say, so he quickly changed the topic.</p><p>"Let’s not talk about this, let’s continue talking about what we discussed before. I will definitely get married this time. Don’t worry, your own son </p><p><em>That’s right!</em></p><p><em>I have already decided.</em></p><p>He did not dare to say nonsense like "you are all my wings (1)".</p><p>After all, he felt guilty towards those people that love him.</p><p>He already received all of their love, but all he could give back was equally divided love. Therefore, Jiang Chen already vowed in his mind that he would do his best to live up to everyone’s sincerity.</p><p>Although it was a little shameless to say it, no matter who asked, he would definitely say it out with certainty.</p><p>If he had to marry, he would marry everyone together.</p><p>He made this decision a long time ago.</p><p>"Come on, don’t fool your mother. I certainly know the thoughts you young people have. You are no longer young. You are in your thirties, and you took care of your career. Now it is time to settle down. At least give me a grandson, when the time comes, I can give good news to your grandpa and grandma…"</p><p>"Mom, don’t say such things," Jiang Chen coughed awkwardly, "I promise you and dad can live until a hundred years old."</p><p>This sentence was not a joke.</p><p>If she was willing, she could be holding her great-great-grandson.</p><p>However, Jiang Chen’s mother didn’t realize that her son was not joking.</p><p>"A hundred years old? You’re just saying sweet things to make me happy? What’s the point to live for so long? It’s better to watch you be safe than anything else," Jiang Chen’s mom said in a disheartened tone after she saw the cigarette butt between his fingers, "Also, didn’t you quit a long time already? Why did you start smoking again?"</p><p>As Jiang Chen listened to his mother’s scolding, he silently flicked the snoot off of his cigarette…</p><p>(1) You are all my wings – The reference is to a Japanese anime "Macross Frontier". It was said by the male protagonist to the two female protagonists, of which he was unwilling to give up either. It became synonymous with being a player.</p><h2>Chapter 1580: Grand Celebration
