Once the entire solar system falls under Jiang Cheng's control, he will begin advancing towards other star systems, slowly extending his reach into the boundless universe.
Although Jiang Cheng currently cannot undertake long-distance interstellar travel, the technology he possesses improves every day, and it's believed that it won't be long before actual starships emerge.
By then, humans will be able to pilot starships, traveling within the vast cosmos.
However, Jiang Cheng needs to first develop Mars, as a crucial material for manufacturing starships is platinum, and without this expensive metal, true starships cannot be produced.
The platinum on Earth simply cannot meet Jiang Cheng's demands, which forces him to focus his attention on Mars.
It is precisely because Mars contains what Jiang Cheng desires that he targets Mars as the first development goal.
