Everyone feels that the future is bleak, but someone must break through this gloom, not only for the sake of the individual, but also for the sake of all mankind.

The Martian government has implemented a parliamentary system, so there are so many quarrels, until now they have to quarrel about everything except that there must be no more internal wars and they must beware of external wars, maybe quarrels are one of the nature of human beings, and it is uncomfortable to mix up if you don't quarrel with people for a day. And the breakthrough in energy has given everyone more time and space, except for basic survival and necessary labor, everyone is worried about the future of mankind, which is the main reason for the low efficiency of the Martian council: the effectiveness of the council is no longer to deal with the survival of mankind, but mainly for quarrels.

"Captain, the Martian Council asks you to explain to them your motive for turning back." After a while, the first mate walked into the captain's room and conveyed such a message to Zhang Tianhe.

"Turn the rudder, head to the earth, and take care of them." After he said this, he stood in front of the flying screen with his hands crossed, and the first mate Shi Kening stopped talking and turned to carry out the order.

For Zhang Tianhe personally, if he had been obedient to the Martian government before he promoted the Star Project, and showed a certain degree of submissiveness, then from the moment the Star took off, his connection with the Martian government was no longer so close. Even if the mission is completed, even if the Star can still operate after breaking through the skin of the solar layer, and everyone is still alive, there is no possibility for him to return to Mars at all - he is too old to live that day. After the Martian government was in a safe corner, its thinking was already solidified, just like a seal chased by a shark found a reef and jumped on it, it was very satisfied if it could catch its breath, and it would be difficult to let it jump into the sea again.

One of the questions that the Martian government is least willing to think about and the least often thinks about is: Where are those earthlings? How did they survive for 200 years? Did they also find a place to settle like the Martians? If not, why did they never come back to fight for Mars? For Zhang Tianhe, his current sense of closeness to those defeated earthlings may be stronger than that of the Martian government: close to homelessness, patting his head and flying into the dark deep space in a cold sweat - this must be the feeling when the earthlings turn around and fly to other places after the defeat of the war.

So what else to report...... The communicator was ringing, and he could make a hologram call with the Martian government at the touch of a button to explain his intentions to them, but he just stubbornly kept his mouth shut.

After twenty years of caution, it's time to show his bohemianism, and for him, as long as he flies away from Mars and leaves that imbecile council, everything else will be fine.

He can imagine the stunned and speechless appearance of the Martian government officials, which makes him feel happy, and now happiness is also a luxury, there is a festival on Mars called "Mars Carnival", on this day everyone will go out on the street with a laugh meter, and collect joy energy by amusing others, and the final winner will be quite richly paid: he can choose a random person to become his fertility and reproduce with him.

On Mars, the energy is unlimited, everyone can do what you like, and as long as you don't break the law, the council will subsidize you. There was a somewhat neurotic Indian descendant who said that he wanted to study the reuse of sewage, and said with great fanfare that he wanted to invent a way to make the dung that was pulled out ed, and the government still gave him the funds to build a laboratory, and agreed. In fact, there is no need for Mars technology, even the ancient earth technology can process into protein, but no one can eat it, right, it has to go through the intermediate transformation - according to this Indian statement, he wants to invent a way to make people eat from both physical and psychological aspects, and the government still approves it, you can do it, as long as you don't go crazy and run to the street to kill people. There is no criminal motive on Mars, because you have someone to give you whatever you want, but there is only one thing, you can't have children, and if you want to reproduce the next generation you have to report to the Martian government and get approval.

So in the end, people didn't have to fight, and then they started to fight for reproductive rights.

Zhang Tianhe got a degree in cosmology at the age of nineteen, began to explore the solar system with various expedition ships, served diligently for eleven years, and applied to the Martian government for a fertility index at the age of thirty. No one understands what the criteria for judging a person's worthiness to have children are, the Fertility Committee decides everything, and according to one rejected person, he was kicked out because he had a big mole on his buttocks, and people said he had the possibility of skin cancer, and it was really hard to think about skin diseases under the sky of Mars, which filtered out all harmful light and rays...... Of course, this may be the rejected person throwing dirty water on the fertility committee, but you can see the absurdity and ridiculousness of these things, just as as you can make people laugh and give you a fertility index for you to pick people to have children, there is an element of black humor in this, and it is difficult for people who are only in it to laugh.

Just as the people of Mars rarely laugh.

Not only Zhang Tianhe, but also the Martian government itself and those who participate in the work of the Martian parliament or the fertility committee in the government, think that both the government and individuals seem absurd and ridiculous, but they still have to do it - just like the Indians who want others to eat dung, whether they are Martians or earthlings, there is always something to do in life, so the smart people among them know that they are very ridiculous, but they still do it day after day - as long as most people think it is not ridiculous, And it is indeed the case, for example, Zhang Tianhe must not think that there is anything ridiculous about the fertility committee not letting him have children.

So such a Martian government is not dignified in the first place, just like Zhang Tianhe's classmate, Nick Ma, who now holds an important position in the Martian government, said: "Even if human beings are reduced to this point, they still have to have entertainment, and our Martian council is to show them burlesque, but we only allow them to watch, but we don't allow them to laugh!" ”

At this time, the other end of the communicator became a call from Nick Ma, and it seemed that the council saw that they couldn't get through, so they tried to replace him. Nickmar is a centrist figure in the Martian council, and he is also of Chinese descent, but he has such a nondescript name, mainly to put aside the racial element in the Martian integrated council. There are more than half of the people of Chinese descent in the Martian Council, but there are not many people in the highest position, and people of Chinese descent are more likely to engage in some real things like Zhang Tianhe, such as farming, such as making clothes, such as flying around to mine, to find organic matter, and no one wants to do stupid work like the council. There are not many people with high knowledge like Nick Ma who enter parliament to do political work, and in his words he is to serve the people, sacrificing himself to serve others.

"If it weren't for the constant work of our people, would your star be able to reach the sky? There is also a truth for other things, old classmate, someone has to do this kind of thing, you are too smart to do it, so we have to do it......" Nick Ma once said this to Zhang Tianhe, and he was right, it was indeed their continuous work in the council that made the Star Plan have been implemented, so at this time Zhang Tianhe helplessly picked up the telegram, and Nick Ma's hologram immediately appeared in front of his eyes.

"We found out you had a rudder, why?" Nick Ma asked.

"I want to go back to Earth."

"Haven't you seen enough of the countless probes launched?"

"After all, the real person and the probe are different, otherwise our plan would be completely meaningless."

"The council is very unhappy with your inability to contact ......"

"I just went to the bathroom, you can apologize for me."

"You ......" Nick Ma walked around with his hands behind his back, and Zhang Tianhe's gaze followed his hologram from left to right and from right to left. It's just that let's talk about it, are you going to turn your back on the Martian government? ”

"Don't talk to me, I've never been loyal to the Martian government! I owe allegiance to all mankind! ”

"Aren't you also an official...... Okay, let's talk about your plans......"

"......" Zhang Tianhe was reluctant to report to the undignified Martian government, but he was willing to report to his classmates and a human animal, and he roughly said what the crew meant, "In short, it won't delay any time, it's good to go back and take a look." And I've been talking to the neurologists on the ship lately, and she thinks...... In a sense, we may change matter by looking at it......"

"I don't understand." Nick Ma said briefly.

"I don't understand either, I'm going to tell you her exact words now: 'Do you know wave-particle duality? If we look at it, it will change the particles, for example, the earth is a large particle, and looking at it may change its properties. ’”

"You mean that if you go to see it, it will change the earth?"

"It can't be worse anyway, can it?"

“…… All right...... I'd better report to the council as the crew wants. You have to keep in touch, this is an act of all human beings, not your likes and dislikes alone, please take it seriously! ”

"Yes, Elder!" Zhang Tianhe jokingly said a word, and Nick Ma hung up the communication.

It is impossible for Zhang Tianhe not to have an opinion on the procrastination of the Martian Council for a long time, he can't bear it and endure it again and again, which makes him especially understand those people who behave strangely in ancient books, such as Emperor Yang of Sui, once they get rid of control, they will do whatever they want. However, after all, he is not as indulgent as Yang Guang, and he will only be angry for a short time, if he is still resentful and dissatisfied when he was first denied reproductive rights at the age of thirty, he can turn around and shoot at Mars to scare them. But no matter how ridiculous the Martian parliament is, it is they who support the Star Project, which gives mankind the possibility of opening up the future, so there is no need to open fire, just joking.

"Jenny Young, come to the captain's room." He sent a message to the neurologist.
