"Good evening, viewers. Welcome to the nightly news. A wedding video of Chen Mo, the founder of the Marching Ant Company, has surfaced online. Dubbed the 'Wedding of the Century', it drew global attention from the very beginning. The video shows what appears to be a holographic projection creating a dreamy atmosphere at the ceremony, leaving netizens in awe. Let's take a look at the footage..."
"Friends and viewers, we interrupt with breaking news. Today is the wedding day of Marching Ant founder Chen Mo, and footage from the event has just gone viral online..."
Multiple news channels scrambled to report on it as soon as the wedding footage dropped. The surreal scenes quickly spread across the country—and the world—causing an instant sensation.
"Mr. Fang Hong, welcome. The newly released footage of Chen Mo's wedding is packed with eye-catching moments and sparked a wave of amazement. People are especially curious about the bride's dress—how did it achieve that dreamy effect? What kinds of high-tech wizardry were used here?"
"This wedding was truly one for the ages. The so-called 'Wedding of the Century' lives up to the hype. Based on what we've seen, I suspect the wedding dress is made of a new fiber material that changes color under certain lighting. Its value? Right now, that's hard to even estimate."
"As for the dreamy scenes, those are likely created by a new type of holographic projector. Marching Ant hasn't officially released this model yet—this is our first glimpse. From what I can tell, it has a projection range of 20 to 30 meters, significantly larger than what we've seen in holographic smartphones. This means they've likely mastered laser holography."
"So yes—combine a color-changing wedding dress with next-gen holographic projection, and you get this fantasy-level wedding. This is what happens when high-tech meets romance. Only Chen Mo has the vision—and resources—to pull off something like this. In short, he just fed the whole world a huge bite of dog food."
"What future applications do you foresee for these technologies?"
"Oh, there are tons: concerts, sports events, large-scale performances—anywhere you want to create a breathtaking, immersive environment. This is next-level tech. And as Chen Mo once said at a press conference: 'The future has arrived.' Technologies we once thought belonged only in sci-fi movies are now becoming reality. It's no exaggeration that some call Chen Mo the 'Time Titan of China.'"
Photos and videos from the wedding spread like wildfire. In under two hours, online video views surged past 600 million and continued climbing. Viewers around the globe were watching the video on repeat—some a second time, others their tenth. The scene's surreal beauty had a hypnotic effect.
What used to be fiction—a fantasy world made real—was now brought to life through Chen Mo's massive holographic projections. The emotional impact was enormous. The meaning of "tech charm" had never been clearer.
Within hours, the wedding footage crossed borders and made its way onto international platforms, causing a global sensation. It shattered online viewership records with over 100 million plays, becoming a cultural milestone.
Even when Chen Mo released the medium-sized holographic projectors, the visuals weren't this stunning. But now, the large-scale versions had evolved into tools that could literally create fairy tales.
With one wedding, Chen Mo showed the world the true power and beauty of future technology. Every major platform was filled with discussions, reactions, and analysis. The hype had reached unprecedented heights.
The message was loud and clear: the sci-fi future is here.
Online Reactions:
"Insane! Marching Ant is terrifying."
"Fake. These are just special effects! Also, all that tech was stolen from Korea!"
"Damn... China's tech is scary good now. The U.S. government better step in and rein them in. This tech is definitely stolen from us!"
"This wedding is unreal. I want one just like it. Why isn't the bride me? Can they marry two wives in China?"
"Chen Mo just fed the whole world a mouthful of dog food."
On YouTube, Twitter, and other platforms, shock and awe filled every comment section. Chen Mo and Marching Ant were once again the center of global attention.
The next morning, the sun hadn't fully risen, and faint light seeped through the window as Chen Mo woke up. The bedding and room decor were still draped in festive red. A light floral scent hung in the air, clearing his mind.
Turning over, he saw Xiaoyu lying beside him, quietly watching with a trace of sleepy flirtation in her eyes.
"You're up early."
"Couldn't really sleep in today."
"You have the day planned out?" Chen Mo asked.
"Yup. After breakfast, we'll see off some of your groomsmen and guests. Some business partners are still around too—Zhao mentioned it last night. We should greet them. Then tomorrow, we head home and start our honeymoon."
"Where do you want to go?"
"South China Sea, then Yunnan. If there's time, maybe some other spots." Xiaoyu curled into him gently.
She hadn't picked any international destinations—her instincts told her Chen Mo wasn't interested in going abroad, though he never said why. But she didn't press. To her, location didn't matter. What mattered was that they were together and happy.
"Sounds good. Time to unwind for a bit." Chen Mo ran his hand across her back, his heart calm and content.
The nuclear fusion lab was still under construction, and [Star Ring] still needed more experiments and data. Even with the nuclear group accelerating progress, the research base wasn't ready yet.
So this break was the perfect window. Once experiments start, there would be no time. Chen Mo didn't want to delay the wedding indefinitely—he wanted to give Xiaoyu the peace and happiness she deserved.
"How about some morning exercise while the air's still fresh?"
"I need to make breakfast first..."
"There's still time." He grinned.
Xiaoyu opened her mouth to object, but it was quickly silenced with a kiss. The soft murmur of protest melted into whispers and laughter. Before long, the morning air in the room grew warm again.
An hour later, the couple stepped out of the room, freshened up and glowing.
Xiaoyu's skin glowed with a gentle flush, her hair elegantly styled. She looked radiant—no longer just a girl, but a full-grown, graceful woman.
Seeing the rest of the family hadn't woken yet, Xiaoyu quietly headed into the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Even though they had housekeepers, she felt it was important to make breakfast for the family herself, especially on the second day of the wedding.
Soon, Chen Mu woke up and saw Xiaoyu in the kitchen. Her eyes lit up with joy.
This was her daughter-in-law—graceful, thoughtful, and sensible. She liked her immediately. She had heard that Xiaoyu had stuck with Chen Mo from his startup days, supporting him through thick and thin. That made her even more proud.
"Morning!"
Zhang Xinxin came out, saw Xiaoyu cooking, and greeted her with a smile.
"Breakfast will be ready soon. You can watch TV with your brother," Xiaoyu said with a smile.
"Okay!"
In the living room, Chen Mo was watching the morning news.
News reports, videos, and social media were still going wild over the wedding. He hadn't realized how viral it had gone overnight. It was all over phones, computers, and TVs.
"Bro, you've just blasted the whole world with dog food," Zhang Xinxin teased, flopping down next to him. "How much did this wedding cost, anyway?"
"Haven't counted exactly. Between the dress, holograms, and jewelry—it's a lot. But with the commercial launch of the new fiber and large holographic projectors, we'll make it back easily."
"Where are you guys going for your honeymoon?"
"You want to tag along?" Chen Mo chuckled.
"I wouldn't crash your trip," she smirked. "Just make sure she gives me a niece or nephew next year—I wanna be an aunt."
Chen Mo just laughed and playfully knocked her on the head.
The two chatted as Xiaoyu brought breakfast out.
After eating, the family got ready to meet the remaining guests and say their farewells. The wedding might be over, but the love—and shockwaves—were just getting started.
