Party Time
In the blink of an eye, 100 days have passed. This day is a joyous day for the people in the entire base. Everyone is smiling, wearing new clothes issued by the government, holding sufficient food, including rice and various vegetables, and even Have a little meat!
Today is also the day when the agricultural transformation plan is officially completed. The production results were even better than expected. In 100 days, humans obtained a total of 25,000 tons of staple food and more than 30,000 tons of vegetables, enough to feed the entire base for three years.
As for the meat, it is basically chicken. Quick-cooked chickens are generally ready to be slaughtered in more than 40 days. Although they are all raised with vegetables and are relatively thin, it is better to have meat than no meat. For people nowadays, meat food is already considered a valuable item.
The workers all smiled. Compared with high-energy compressed food, what a luxury it is to eat delicious rice. From now on, they can eat rice every day!
In order to celebrate the huge harvest this time, a grand party was held in the Form for rest and entertainment, ensuring everyone is involved.
The food for the party is not complicated, including glutinous rice balls, siu mai, steamed buns, dumplings, hair cakes, etc. There are all kinds of food, and it is in the form of a buffet. There is no limit, and everyone can eat as much as they want.
Of course, if you are not used to Chinese food, there is also Western food, and there are also sandwiches and toasts to choose from, but the variety is slightly less.
This gala is poorer than any gala on earth because people don't have so many supplies. But for everyone, this evening is already very satisfying, and they also know the current situation of the base, and they can't ask for more.
Thinking that it will be better in the future and there will be more abundant meals, they are full of expectations in their hearts.
The base management took out almost all the food in stock, including tobacco, alcohol, sugar, various beverages, and various frozen meats, etc. These luxuries were originally enjoyed by the former senior leaders of the base. There were some left over after the earth exploded, but this time, all of them were taken out together.
These luxuries are used up, but they have not been enjoyed for a long time. Although the Noah also has an ecological park, and it is even bigger, but if new seeds are sown, there will be no way to harvest them in a year or so.
For these luxury goods, there is definitely no unlimited supply. Everyone is given a fixed amount, and they can only get one after swiping their identity card once. Of course, all kinds of staple food and vegetables are free to taste and enjoy.
Thanks to the existence of biological laboratories, humans have preserved a large number of different species of organisms. Otherwise, there will always be only a few kinds of food for people to and fro, and that would be too miserable. But right now, people don't have the energy to farm these things on a large scale.
For example, there are some seafood and shellfish, and there are some living specimens in the biological laboratory, but where is the seawater now? stand up.
There are also some freshwater fish, which are now being raised. After the food reform is completed, there is finally enough food to feed them, and it is estimated that they will mature within a year.
There are also pigs, sheep, and cows. The reproductive ability of these animals is still inferior to that of chickens, ducks, and fish. They can only be slaughtered after they slowly spread the population, and it will take at least several years. .
However, if there are no species in the biological laboratory, there is a high probability that they will become extinct. With the current technology of human beings, there is no way to revive them... This is really a pity. For foodies, there is a lot less edible thing.
At six o'clock in the evening, the large-scale party officially began. There is no special routine, and even the host is not very professional, but people are still looking forward to it. After three months of crazy work, people need a night of rest and a night of release.
The host came to the stage and said a few provocative words casually, followed by various talent shows.
These people have all been auditioned, and the quality is not bad. It is impossible for the organizer to let people who are crying and howling with five voices come up. Of course, because people simply don't have time to rehearse, it's impossible to compare with those formal programs in terms of formality and professionalism, but the victory lies in the participation of the whole people!
Some people sang world-famous pop songs, some presented a dance, and some performed magic tricks.
"Country roads...take me home...To the place...I belong..." A girl came on stage and sang the song of her hometown, which made people shed tears secretly.
People thought of the days when the order collapsed, the horror of the lack of food in the base, and even the hometown that they could never go back to, how could they not feel sad...
Some people sobbed softly, their hometown, their relatives, they are gone, they are all gone, and they will never see each other again.
But we are alive, we still have to live... The atmosphere at the venue was a bit depressing for a while.
At this time, two more young men came on stage, one played the guitar and the other sang. The song may have been composed by himself, and the lyrics were adapted from "Saints" in "Legend of the Galactic Heroes":
"We are saints, dear sir.
In the journey of pursuing the distant future, we have no hesitation.
Maybe you have to climb over the blue mountains covered with snow for thousands of years at the end of the world,
Or crossing a moody sea.
With a heart like a saint, in all dangers,
Comfort and smooth travel have never been strangers to us.
The soul spreads its wings to face the unknown,
Courage seeks adventure by the side.
We are hungry and thirsty.
Then live to meet the next dawn and challenge.
Only in this way can we find inner peace.
Only then can you wisely tell the people:
'I once looked down on all beings from the most distant mountain tops,
I got consummation and epiphany there, and I practiced it personally to experience the cold, warmth, hunger and thirst.
Then live to meet the next dawn and challenge.
Finally, I found inner peace. '
I will tell everyone wisely:
'I once looked down on all beings from the most distant mountain tops,
Obtaining consummation and epiphany there is the real epiphany deep in the soul.
That's what my life is all about.
It is my heartfelt choice!
Our journey is the sea of stars! '"
Obviously, this is not pop music, nor is it classical music. It should be the score compiled by the two young men themselves. There is still a hint of youthfulness in it, but it feels extraordinarily real.
Human beings, there is never a shortage of warriors, the great fear of dying at any time, the endless darkness in the depths of despair, what is it compared to the heart of exploration in the heart?
In the face of endless unknowns, human beings are curious and fearful. People stand on tiptoes, trembling their hearts, mustering their fighting spirit, and step towards the endless darkness. Who is not afraid of death, but, human beings, there will always be such warriors!
Peng Jiamu who disappeared in Lop Nur, Fawcett who was swallowed by the unknown jungle, Franklin who was trapped in the North Pole... One failure after another failed, but they could not smooth out the ambition of mankind, because they are the greatest warriors of mankind!
And now, people are about to face the biggest challenge in history, that is the starry sky! Whether forced or voluntary, fear or excitement, trembling or curiosity, people will start to challenge - the height of the starry sky!
"Galaxy, here we come!" After the two sang, they still yelled something, but it unexpectedly resonated with many people.
Human beings today are like infants, but their mother is gone, and the child has to be strong... Otherwise, it will be a cold death.
"Galaxy, here we come!"
