Chapter 255: Mars Base Riot
After a few days of treatment and recuperation, Tang Liqing finally recovered and was able to get out of bed. When she was able to get out of bed, she immediately found Shu Yunpeng and wanted to report on the Mars base.
"No hurry, Major Tang!" Shu Yunpeng saw that she was not very neat, so he persuaded her to take her time: "Now we have time!" ”
"I'm fine," Tang Liqing said, "I don't want to be so idle." ”
"It's okay," Shu Yunpeng thought for a while and said, "What happens on the earth also needs to be understood by you...... I'm going to call the others over and have a meeting to find out. ”
After the people arrived, Shu Yunpeng first told Tang Liqing what happened on the earth, and Tang Liqing was also very sad when she heard it. Especially when it came to Yi Qianya and Huang Lang being killed by crazy people, Tang Liqing also burst into tears.
"I don't understand what these people think," she choked up, "have their bodies been found?" ”
"No," Xiang Zidan said sadly: "After opening the dungeon, we sent someone to look for it, and the communication building collapsed, leaving only the launch tower." We can't dig up such a large ruin, so we can only nail an aluminum plaque to the launch tower: the tombs of General Yi Qianya and Professor Huang Lang! ”
The crowd was silent. The human tragedy caused by this unexpected catastrophe is an eternal pain in the hearts of every earthling. As long as human beings can survive and reproduce, I am afraid that this pain will never be extinguished.
For Shu Yunpeng, this disaster is even more unforgettable. That day, Zhang Jingyi said that the Jones people seemed to be waiting for something, which touched a doubt in his heart. What are Joneses waiting for? He didn't know whether the appearance of this catastrophe was a tornado caused by a butterfly flapping its wings, which added to his doubts.
"Alright," he said not wanting to think any longer, so he broke the silence first, "Now it's time to hear what's going on on Mars." ”
"I really can't think of ......" Tang Liqing sighed with emotion and began her narrative.
The Mars base that Tang Liqing took over is almost a mess. A big war destroyed the spaceport and many facilities, and it was difficult to restore it, but Tang Liqing did it.
She first investigated the basic situation of the Mars base and knew it by heart. The so-called workers at the Mars base are all prisoners, and they are all felons. In the past, the managers adopted high-pressure methods and served with punishment at every turn. The prisoners dared not speak out, and could only deal with them by means of passive sabotage and deliberate damage to tools, so productivity has been very low.
Tang Liqing had been in the rebel army, and she knew what these people were thinking. But any person, even if she is a prisoner, has a psychological need to be respected. If you don't pay attention to this, your feet are likely to be like stepping on a minefield, and you may be bombed at any time.
But the managers in the past didn't care about that, and for them, as long as there was still product output every day, and the prisoners didn't make trouble, it was enough. As for the rest, they don't pay any attention. The difference between being responsible and not being responsible is reflected in these differences in daily work.
Tang Liqing knew that this would definitely not work. After learning about the situation, she called a meeting of all the managers and soldiers, and declared that in the future, the prisoners must be treated with due personal respect and that corporal punishment of prisoners should no longer be arbitrary. In particular, some soldiers were bored, making fun of prisoners, and so on, and she declared that she had violated the law, and once she was discovered, she was severely punished.
At the same time, she established a system of rewards and punishments, and prisoners could be rewarded for their outstanding performance, such as being allowed to move freely within a certain area of the base. If the performance is particularly good, the sentence can even be commuted.
As soon as these measures were announced, the prisoners were naturally very happy. As a result, productivity quickly went up, and there were fewer troublemakers. The decree was carried out, the spaceport was quickly repaired, and everything in the base was soon put into a healthy orbit.
What Tang Liqing did, Yi Qianya naturally knew it. In particular, Tang Liqing's management concept can resonate with the unchanging civilian complex in Yi Qianya's heart. She once wanted to transfer Tang Liqing back to Earth, because since Claire's death, she really lacked a right-hand man by her side.
But Shu Yunpeng took the initiative to come out and asked to be the commander-in-chief of the ** army. Shu Yunpeng is a person, Yi Qianya also understands his talent through observation. However, the limitations of the times will be reflected in everyone, and Yi Qianya is no exception. Yi Qianya agreed with Anna's positioning of Shu Yunpeng's role, so she never considered letting Shu Yunpeng come out to take on any actual important position.
Shu Yunpeng took the initiative to ask, Yi Qianya was very hesitant, but finally agreed. Shu Yunpeng did a good job, and the counterinsurgency war was fought very smoothly. Moreover, the Mars base also needs a strong person to preside, and Yi Qianya finally gave up the idea of transferring Tang Liqing back to Earth.
The Earth is settled, the Mars base is settled, and everything is going well. It could have gone on like this, but I didn't expect an unexpected catastrophe to happen, the earth was in chaos, and the Mars base was also in chaos one step earlier.
In those days, Tang Liqing found that the soldiers always gathered together to whisper, and even some prisoners who were relatively free of movement got together to discuss something. She inquired and found that they were all looking at some images on the Internet and posts by some amateur astronomers.
"Don't take these boring things seriously!" She smiled after reading it: "How many times, what has the universe said is about to explode, and human beings are going to be extinct, has it really happened!" ”
Tang Liqing can't be blamed for being careless, the prophecy of the end of the world is like a big dish, which will be taken out every once in a while. It can be said that since human beings began to pay attention to the universe, this big dish will be served every once in a while, and it will become the after-dinner gossip of the extremely bored people. What millennium worm, Mayan prophecy, Hawking prophecy......
What's more, there are also "survival courses" and "doomsday equipment" specially provided for dealing with the apocalypse. These businesses under the banner of doomsday are not just aimed at some people, they have a wide range of users. But the so-called "doomsday equipment" and "doomsday courses" they provide can only meet basic outdoor needs, and once a natural disaster really occurs, it will have no effect at all. Therefore, these people who use "doomsday" as the subject of hype can only be said to have developed an alternative business opportunity, and making "doomsday money" is their purpose, and whoever is serious is stupid.
But what I didn't expect was that this time it was true. Among the prisoners and soldiers, there was no shortage of people with a little knowledge of astronomy, and they began to feel uneasy when they saw the images. This kind of uneasiness is like a plague, once it appears, it can't be stopped, and soon it will spread to the entire Martian base, and people's hearts will begin to panic.
"Major, let's go back to Earth!" When some soldiers and prisoners offered to return to Earth, Tang Liqing sensed that the situation was serious.
"Go back, don't listen to those rumors!" She said.
She wanted soldiers and administrators to send prisoners to their cells, but they couldn't. It has to be said that there are two sides to everything in the world. Tang Liqing's management method is indeed very effective in normal times, but once an incident occurs, it shows another side. Under the Huairou management policy, the tension between soldiers, administrators and prisoners has disappeared, and some administrators and prisoners have even become brothers and sisters, and the relationship is very harmonious.
The prisoners did not return to their cells, and the administrators and soldiers did not force them to return to their cells. In the end, someone simply released the prisoners who were still in their cells!
"We want to go back to Earth, please allow the Major!" These people are besieging the place where the Martian Governing Body is located. Moreover, it was discovered that certain managers and soldiers also quietly issued weapons to prisoners.
The situation was critical, but Tang Liqing did not back down. She knew that these prisoners were felons, and some could be said to be heinous criminals. In the Mars base, where running out of the base is a dead end, these people are not harmful, and once they are released back to Earth, it will be like letting a tiger return to the mountain!
"No way!" Tang Liqing categorically refused.
On the Martian base, a day before Earth, the conflict began. Crazy prisoners and a lot of managers and soldiers, began to storm the spaceport. In the spaceport, there are also more than a dozen transport ships moored. These people wanted to seize these transport ships and run to the earth, but of course Tang Liqing did not allow it.
Tang Liqing looked around, there were less than two hundred soldiers supporting her. Fortunately, she had mixed in the rebel army, and she was very prestigious, and these two hundred people were all close associates who had followed her for many years. However, with only 200 men, it was too difficult to hold off ten times the number of crazy soldiers and prisoners who were ten times their size.
Tang Liqing saw that the situation was sinister and thought that she would not be spared today, so she sent Yi Qianya's last words. With her own entourage, she held the spaceport to the death, preventing the crazy people from boarding the ship. However, there were too few people under her, and there were red-eyed and irrational people on the other side, and there were only about a hundred people left around her.
"Major, this will not work!" One of his men said, "Let's blow up the transport!" ”
"Okay, you take fifteen people and blow up the transport ship for me!" Now, Tang Liqing has chosen to die together, she can't let these murderous people run back to Earth: "Don't leave one!" ”
"Okay!" The men took the order and left. The man had a lot of brains, so she kept one behind and loaded the transports with everything she could collect, such as water and food. When she blew up the other transport ships and returned to the position, there were less than ten soldiers left under Tang Liqing!
"Major, come with me!"
They fought and retreated, retreating to the port. Seeing the explosions in the spaceport and the flames soaring into the sky, those who attacked knew what Tang Liqing and the others were doing, and their attacks became even more crazy. Tang Liqing watched the soldiers around her fall one by one, and she was almost crazy, desperately shooting at all costs.
"Major, let's go!"
She and the two men were left alone, and they ran desperately to the harbor, the men behind howling after them. Tang Liqing ran and ran, and suddenly found that the subordinate was missing. She looked back and saw that the man had fallen injured. She stopped to go back to save her, but the man shouted as he shot, "Hurry up, Major, leave me alone!" ”……
