A County Town on the Rise: China's Starlink Stuns the World

Chen Mu, age twenty-five, with 347.2 yuan in his account.

The moment his foot touched the red earth at the entrance to the village, a faint chime rang in his ear.

The Starfarmer System had awakened.

The System gave him no money and no shortcuts, only one thing: technology. How he used it was up to him.

He started out in an abandoned factory, partnered with a retired senior engineer, and won a two-million-yuan contract in his first competitive bid. That was only the beginning.

Microsatellites, homegrown rockets, vertical recovery, space computing, lunar mining, crewed missions to Mars... Every technology he brought to life caught his rivals off guard. When the United States imposed a blockade, he built an entirely domestic supply chain. When someone tried to assassinate him, the military assigned him round-the-clock protection. Xinggong Aerospace's rocket recovery technology? He did it for a fifth of the cost, and did it better.

But he never forgot where he came from.

Uncle Wang finally had a clear call with the son who had been working away from home for six years. At forty-five, Master Liu became a rocket assembly worker. Miao Miao, a left-behind child, made it into an aerospace university... Behind every monumental achievement was an ordinary life, genuinely transformed.

From a county town to the whole world, from red earth to a city on Mars.

See how he sets out from a county town and makes the whole universe hear the voice of Huaxia.
