A barren red continent, along a north-south mountain range, stands a row of bubble-shaped crystals, from the sky, emitting a white reflection, like a string of pearls, inlaid in the earth.

The planet rotates very slowly, 68 hours in a day, and from west to east, the stars rise in the west and set in the east.

The long night passed, and a new dawn arrived.

With the crisp sound of the broadcast, countless ant-like creatures gathered in the crystal bubble, making this originally barren and lonely planet appear a little angry.

What was played on the radio was the "March of the Athletes" played before the morning exercises of junior high and high schools.

In the No. 3 Dome City, the 28th tower house in the sixth district of the residential area, in a room of more than 20 square meters, Zhang Beichuan quickly got up from the bed, changed into work clothes, washed his face and brushed his teeth, ran to the lower tower house, and knocked on the doors of those who had not yet gotten up.

"Get up and assemble and do morning exercises!"

"I know, I wake up so early every day." One person complained, not slowing down the pace of dressing.

"One-two-one, one-two-one."

Outside, there are some people who have good self-discipline and get up early, and before the morning exercise begins, they have lined up in two teams and run around the residential area.

"Look at other pioneer teams, how disciplined are they? Look at our team again, we just started to get up when the radio went off, so you can't be angry? Zhang Beichuan said to the hundred or so people in front of him.

"Captain, we don't do less work than other teams, what do we have to win or lose if we do a morning exercise?"

"Yes, captain, these are all imaginary, and the one who does a lot of work is really capable."

"Lots of work? Yesterday, Wang Qiang's team completed 100,000 bricks, and we only have 80,000, and their performance will be much more than ours! ”

"Captain, their gang wants money and doesn't want to die, and they don't stop when they eat, and we still don't compare with them."

"Interstellar radio gymnastics is about to begin. Let's go to radio gymnastics. ”

The crowd ran into a clearing, and when they dispersed, a hundred-man phalanx was formed, and there were hundreds of such phalanxes, and there was no boundless.

A voice came over the radio, "The first set of interstellar radio gymnastics begins, stretching exercises, one-two-three-four, five-six-seven-eight, two-two-three-four." Five-six-seven-eight......"

After the interstellar radio gymnastics that is beneficial to the health of the openers was done, several aunts carried out a large bucket of porridge, and breakfast was also ready, with steamed buns, steamed buns, and fried dough sticks, in order to facilitate management, the small pot rice policy implemented by the Development Bureau, each 100-person development team was equipped with 4 logistics personnel, and distributed rice, noodles, vegetables, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and other ingredients. Responsible for the daily diet of 100 people.

Team member Zhao Zhi took a meat bun, took a sip, oil and water came out of the corner of his mouth, and then drank a sip of hot rice porridge. Giving a thumbs up to a woman, he said, "Aunt Yang, the buns you made are so delicious!" ”

Aunt Yang's name is Yang Caihua, and she is the chef of the 16th Pioneer Team, responsible for the food supply of the team. Aunt Yang's cooking skills are not bad among all the pioneer teams, and the steamed buns she makes are a must! This is what the players are very happy with. For example, they have always wanted to surpass the 7th Pioneer Team, and their chefs are not very good. Occasionally, when I came here to eat, the team members complained that the chef's food was unpalatable.

"Captain, although we can't do more work than Wang Qiang's team, but the food far exceeds them, overall, it's still us who wins, right?" Team member Wang Xiaobo said proudly.

"Yes, yes, it's all Aunt Yang's credit." The one who agrees with the crowd.

"Let's calculate their performance, they can make an average of 100,000 bricks a day, which is converted into 1,000 performance points. We are 80,000 yuan, which is converted into 800 performance points, and one performance point is equal to 100 yuan, that is, they can earn 100,000 yuan a day, 100 points, and the average person is 1,000 yuan a day. We are also a hundred people, and the last one we got was 800 yuan, which was 200 less than them. You say, if it's like this every day, how much more will they make than me in a year? ”

Zhang Beichuan analyzed.

Everyone was silent for a while, and when it came to performance points, which were related to their income, they had to pay attention to them.

The so-called performance system is a system linked to wages and benefits invented by the Development Bureau, which subdivides all tasks, and the personnel are also divided into a team of 100 people, functionally, divided into more than 10 kinds of agricultural teams, construction teams, transportation teams, brick-making teams, management teams, etc., each team has its own work and tasks.

For example, the brick-making team, the construction of the Dome City and the base outside the city needs to use a large amount of masonry, which is mined outside the base by the brick-making team.

At present, there are a total of 63 brick-making teams in the No. 3 Dome City.

No matter what the type of work of the development team, in addition to food, clothing and housing by the development bureau is responsible, salary, the minimum salary is 0, relying on their own hands to get paid, earn performance points, is the best way, and there is no upper limit, the more you do, the more performance points you get.

Team member Cao Zhiqiang said: "Captain, in our team, only you and Vice Captain Zhao can drive a brick truck, everyone else will only move bricks, 80,000 bricks, more than a dozen people are enough to move, most people are very relaxed, so, we should let a few more people in the team learn to drive a brick truck, after learning, and then from the development bureau to two brick trucks, in this way, our brick-making efficiency will soon improve?" ”

Zhao Zhi's eyes lit up, "Yes, brick trucks are not difficult to drive, people who can generally drive, learn two weeks can learn, we can draw a few people with flexible brains to learn, after a period of time to the development bureau to a few new development cars, maybe a day to make 1 million bricks is no problem, this is equal to 10,000 performance points." ”

Zhang Beichuan was moved, two months ago, when he first came here, he learned to drive a brick truck, his brain is more active, plus he had experience in driving an excavator before, he got started very quickly, and there were many workers in the later stage, and the superior wanted to select a part of the management personnel, and he easily became the captain and managed a small team.

As a captain, and is the first to come to the red star pioneer, Zhang Beichuan knows more news than the average person, he said: "We are now using brick trucks, are made by the commander, there are only 100 in each city, the new brick car manufacturing plant, is still under construction, it is said that it will wait for a month before the new brick car off the assembly line, this month, we can not be idle, I and Deputy Captain Zhao will train a few drivers to come out, and when the brick truck is offline, we can apply immediately." ”

After speaking, Zhang Beichuan lowered his voice and said to everyone: "In this regard, Wang Qiang's team prepared earlier than us, if we want to surpass them, we must surpass them in the speed of student training!" ”

"Well, surpass them!"

"Okay, let's get to work."

Everyone walked to the exit of the city, took their respective spacesuits from the spacesuit custodians, changed them into their bodies, and came to a strange-looking vehicle.

With a length of 12 meters, a width of 3 meters, a height of nearly 6 meters, and eight metal tires at the bottom, which are nearly one person high, this vehicle can be called a behemoth.

This is the brick making truck.

Zhang Beichuan climbed onto the heavy machine and sat in the driver's seat, while Zhao Zhi sat in the passenger seat.

The door behind the rear of the brick-making car opened, and there were only more than 40 seats in the cabin, and after more than 90 people were "stuffed" in, people without seats could only stand, which made it particularly crowded.

Starting the vehicle, Zhang Beichuan said into the walkie-talkie: "The 16th brick-making team has made preparations and requested to go to the development point." ”

"The aircapsule is open, you can go!"

Zhang Beichuan stepped on the accelerator plate, "boom, boom", and the huge brick-making truck started to drive, and under the guidance of the ground personnel, it drove into the air isolation cabin.

The inner hatch of the air barrier cabin fell, and there was a sound of air leakage, and the outer hatch of the "shaking" opened, and the red light was bright, and a scorching and barren world was presented in front of everyone.

Zhang Beichuan did not stop, accelerated, followed the staggered ruts on the ground, and came to the development point 3 kilometers away.

On the surface of the red giant, the average soil thickness is about half a meter, and further down there is hard rock, and the brick truck has to mine the underground rock after the soil layer has been removed.

The stone mining site in front of you, because of the long mining time, has formed a "mining area" several meters deep, covering an area of more than one square kilometer, where all the brick trucks work.

After selecting a location, Zhang Beichuan controlled the mechanical arm on the brick car, selected an area on the computer, and then the mechanical arm approached this area, and four small robotic arms extended on the mechanical arm, in a square layout, with a large amount of red light at the top, shooting out four lasers.

Under the irradiation of the laser, the rock in the selected area began to be cut into four sides, two by two, and after cutting to a certain depth, the robotic arm became palm-shaped, "grasping" the rock, and pulling it out forcefully, a large rock was separated from the ground.

There is a box-shaped device on the top of the brick making truck, and after the block rock is placed in the box, it only takes a while to be laser cut into bricks.

With a bang, a box of about 300 stone bricks slipped out of the brick outlet and fell to the ground.

"Moving bricks, moving bricks!"

More than 90 members of the brick-making team clapped their hands one by one, moved the stone bricks to a place 30 meters away, stacked them into a pile number, and after a while, the transport team of the transport team would drive over and transport the stone bricks to the new development point not far away.

The construction in the city of the dome is almost complete, and the amount of stone bricks needed is not large, and the stone bricks they are mining now are mainly used to build an agricultural base with an area of 10 square kilometers, and the builders will first build a stone wall with a height of more than 15 meters to enclose the agricultural base, and then separate the independent lattices in the agricultural base, cover the top with glass, and then plant crops in it.

Moving bricks is not an easy job, this special stone brick, the weight of each piece is about 30 pounds, plus the weight of the team members is nearly 20 pounds of spacesuits, 50 pounds of weight, moving two or three times, it is tired and panting, sweaty, but compared to the performance points they will get, this tiredness is nothing .......
