"I asked Shirley and Jasper to go treasure hunting in the abandoned house in the afternoon." Putting down the licked and clean cake plate, Murphy hurriedly left the room.

It may be the national tradition of 'can be used', among the 12 space stations, the Tianzhu station was the first to have equipment problems, and then the Tianzhu station has more and more problem areas, and the problem is becoming more and more serious, in desperation, about half of the Tianzhu station area was abandoned, personnel were evacuated, and the vacated space was used to store the usual waste, as well as the space junk salvaged by the ark in orbit waiting to be identified. The "abandoned house" is the site of Tianzhu Station close to the living area of the Ark, and the sundries in it have been screened, and there are usually guards guarding it, and the safety of the bears and children who occasionally go to make trouble can be guaranteed.

"Don't come back too late, kid."

Murphy felt that it might be the reason for his brothers' birthdays today, and Daddy Bob's tone was rarely much kinder, especially when he mentioned Shirley, a smile welled up on Daddy's eyebrows.

After all, after several generations of reproduction, the ratio of men and women in the Ark has a tendency to be out of balance, and the father has inherited his own talent in this area without considering the second half of his son's life, which is one of the few advantages of Murphy in the father's mind.

While his wife was cleaning up the plate, Bob turned around and stared earnestly at the other son, who had always given him peace of mind.

"Are you better?" Bob pulled open his son's bloodstained sleeve and checked the bandage, knowing the reason without guessing, after all, Trist had always been obsessed with extreme environment training and martial arts training.

"But Trist, you'll be 12 years old after today."

"I know", interrupting his father's words, Trist said with some emotion, "Uncle Pike told me about the rationing system", as he pushed away the low-dispensed CN200 ordinary potion handed over by his mother, "Also, the course is over." ”

"Pike is a good guy" x2

Pike, who was teaching Murphy and Jasper a lesson at the door of the abandoned house, sneezed violently, and in the eyes of Shirley behind him, he changed his face to a vicious expression, and dragged Murphy by the collar into the corner......

'Trist, help,' thought Murphy desperately, 'Shirley, you'd rather say something'......

In the Area 49 room, Trist sat across from Bob, looked his father in the eye, and said seriously, "Daddy, don't trust Diana, stay away from that woman." ”

"Which 'Diana' Anna?"

Noticing his mother's raised eyebrows, Trist looked beyond her gray short sleeves and could see the calloused hands that had been sewing for a long time clutched the stainless steel wine bottle.

Before poor Bob was speechless, trembling, and ready to flee, Trist said as quickly as he could, "Diana, that woman, she just wants to use your appeal among the technicians to get votes for her, don't believe any of her promises!" Don't forget, how she became a councillor in the first place - she reported and executed her own pregnant sister! ”。

Because of the overpopulation and lack of materials, 20 years ago, on the basis of reinstating the death penalty, implemented strict population control, that is, the one-child policy, and listed overbirth as a crime. At first, this was resisted by many people, especially low-level technicians. Distrust of the top management almost turned into turmoil, and the shutdown protests directly led to the dying Tianzhu station losing its last chance to repair the core area.

Until Diana, a girl who was a technician at the time, reported and executed her sister who was secretly pregnant with her second child. Twenty years ago, the girl who couldn't cry silently, with her low-level background, deep understanding of the determination of righteousness, and eloquent speeches, touched everyone, successfully eliminated the crisis of the riots in the engineering area, and became the youngest councillor in the history of the Ark, and became the 14th judge of the Ark six years ago (the Supreme Leader of the Ark is called a judge), and she is also the youngest judge in history.

It's a pity that for 6 years, Ms. Diana, the strong woman who swore to be single and publicly swore to dedicate her life to the Ark and the future of mankind, has not shown much remarkable talent in daily management. Chief Engineer Jack, Secondary Engineer Ahab, and Medical Director Abby's instinctive distrust of this woman who suddenly squeezed into the inner circle of domination, their deliberate lack of cooperation, and Diana's own lack of expertise caused her to frequently hit a wall in the daily operation of the Ark.

As for personnel management, aha, Julie, the director of logistics, is the eldest daughter of her sister, the chief of the guard, Marcus, is Abby's little follower, and Pike, the head of the agricultural district, has always been neutral, but the grapevine is that this old man has been pursuing Julie, in a word, wonderful!

As her term of office draws to a close, the election is approaching, and Diana, who has tasted power, wants to do some more tiny work for the Ark, serve a few more terms, and even the rest of her life. And Diana's approval rating has fallen due to the poor management in the past six years, almost falling to the freezing point, and even her own team of basic technicians has been shaky in her trust. After all, no matter how high the enthusiasm is, without the support of reality, there will always be a day when it runs out. The hearts of those united by rhetorical agitation and empty promises will eventually dissipate as promises are not kept.

In order to gain the approval of the senior engineer team, Diana took good care of them, and even though the total reserves of materials were close to the red line, she still increased the level of rationing of the engineers, such as extra overtime meals delivered by hand, an extra weekly milk ration for the nine senior engineers (reducing the nutrition quota for Ark children), and amnesty for the engineers who caused the crash of a valuable robotic arm due to a coding error.

She has explained to the bottom more than once the necessity of "brain first", after all, "insufficient blood supply to the brain will make the ark lose its way", and improve the treatment of some people, in order to form a demonstration effect, give full play to subjective initiative, and finally realize the common progress of the entire ark. At the same time, Diana encouraged the low-level technicians to learn more in their spare time at the end of the 14-hour work day, and move into the 6-15 districts in the future, become a member of the engineers, in her words, "all for the big picture".

Yes, it's all about the big picture, that's Diana's often slogan. Since ascending to the throne of judges, her mantra has changed from "fighting for the rights and interests of low-level technicians" to "focusing on the overall situation".

"Friends, compatriots, be quiet", the door of the accessories workshop was pushed open, everyone put down the work at hand, looked at the lady at the door, the friendly smile on her face was the same as on the day of the election six years ago, but now she has more momentum in a high position. "So, please vote for me, and I will do everything in my power to fight for the rights that our technicians deserve!" Diana ended her passionate speech with these words, and even though most of them were cold-hearted, it did not diminish her surging passion in the slightest. Next, she is going to talk to a few technicians with high prestige and charisma alone. 'Well, let's start with that bob. ’

Inside the 49 area room.

"So", taking a sip of the water handed over by his mother, Trist summed up his slightly messy speech, "Daddy, don't vote for Diana".
