Chapter 36: The Oath

Taking advantage of this moment of tranquility, Lin Yao continued: "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have come to this third high school as the first in the high school entrance examination, and I wouldn't have had a chance to become the president of your student union." ”

"Pretending to be a prisoner!"

"It's amazing to study!"

"No wonder the teachers value it, it turns out that this is ......"

There are quite a few students whispering below.

Lin Yao didn't care and continued: "Of course, I won't go to the first high school because they gave me a place to escort me to Earth Tianjing University, and I don't want it. ”

"I'll go! That's too good to load! ”

"The third high school is born today!"

……

"Many of you think I'm pretending, because if you were me, you wouldn't hesitate to go to the first high school and get a place back to Earth.

Why is that? Because the living conditions on our Mars are so poor, many of you, Miss, eat genetically generated meat, dehydrated vegetables, synthetic juices, mountain and sea delicacies can only be seen on the Internet, silk leather has never been worn, to be honest, in terms of material conditions, you are not as good as the refugees on the earth who receive relief!

If you tell those gentlemen on the earth, what kind of rich second generation and second generation official people like you are, I am afraid that you will be laughed out of your big teeth.

So you long to go back to Earth, but you dare not say it, because you know that you cannot do it in your power, and to say it will only add to the laughter. ”

Speaking of this, silence returned to the playground again, and many people were annoyed and angry, glaring angrily at Lin Yao on the stage.

This is a scar hidden in the hearts of all young people on Mars, the so-called no comparison, no harm, this generation of students spent their childhood on Earth, all of them have experienced the superior material life on Earth, the conditions on Mars are indeed difficult for them to accept, but so what?

In the end, I can't go back!

The rain was heavier, and Lin Yao continued: "But I really don't want to go back to Earth at the moment, you can't deny this, after all, I refused the guaranteed place of the first high school, this is a fact. ”

The smile on Lin Yao's face made the students can't help but beat him, he got cheap and behaved, nothing more!

"Why? Let me tell you about the history.

…… In the seventeenth century of the old calendar, a group of people in the British Empire who could not get along in their own country went to the Americas, among them there were criminals, speculators, and desperate people, they left their homeland to come to a new continent, and established the United States, after several generations of struggle, the United States became the most powerful country in the world at that time, dominating the earth for hundreds of years. ”

"You know that, don't you?" Lin Yao glanced at the students in the audience, and after getting a variety of disdainful glances, he continued to speak.

"Ten years ago, in the same situation, your parents came to Mars, but they are different from the British Empire, they are the real human elite, after a month of interstellar journey, after paying the price of nearly 100,000 people, they set foot on the strange land of Mars, and after another ten years, in various cosmic radiation, energy disasters, they lost another 100,000 people.

In the midst of all these difficulties, it took them only ten years to build ten Martian cities, although they are a hundred years behind the earth in terms of technology and material, but this is a real habitat, so they are far greater than those in the British Empire. ”

The students were silent.

"But what about when they're old?

As their next generation, you are no longer the elite, and the elite on Mars is aiming to return to Earth, at that time, you tell me, who will shoulder the future of Mars? ”

Speaking of this, most of the silent students lowered their heads, and the principal and the leaders looked even more gloomy.

Oh, yes? Who is responsible for the future of Mars? The fertility fault in the middle is destined to reduce the number of young adults in ten years, what should I do then?

And Lin Yao's speech continued.

"Why am I reluctant to go back to Earth now? Does such an obvious thing need to be explained?

When we followed our parents and went through hardships and dangers to come to Mars, was it just to experience the hardships of life on Mars, and then do nothing and then go back to the exam?

I'm sorry, I can't be so cheeky to go back to Earth.

Because of this, I am sorry for the ancestors who died in the universe ten years ago, the ancestors who died in various accidents in the past ten years, and the countless generations of immigrants who devoted themselves to the construction of Mars and could only watch their parents through video, but could not go home.

What about you? Are you worthy of the fathers who have left their homeland and come to Mars with the determination that they may never return? ”

Hearing this, the headmaster secretly turned his face away and wiped away his tears.

"Headmaster, are you alright?" Ye Gang's face was heavy, and he patted the principal on the shoulder and asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, it's just that I miss my old lady who died on Earth a year ago."

"Festival mourning......" Ye Gang comforted helplessly.

"It's nothing, weren't we mentally prepared for this when we came here? It's just that after a long time, I forgot about it......"

Ye Gang wanted to comfort him more, but the principal waved his hand and said, "Old Ye, are we underestimating Lin Yao's child, I'm afraid he wants to be the president of the student union, it's not to train himself, he's putting a long-term view......"

Ye Gang was silent when he heard this, and looked up at the dead silence in the rain on the playground and the figure on the rostrum, and choked up a little.

“…… Ask yourself, did you really never want to be the pride of your fathers, to take over the burden of building Mars from them, so that they can return to Earth in their lifetime?

I know you've thought about it, but you're just thinking about it, and you're not going to do it, because you like to belittle yourself and look down on yourself. ”

……

"Yes, we don't face the sea, spring flowers are blooming, we don't have mountains and seas, we don't have jade plates, we don't even have a university.

Even, when we recite "When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the blue sky" and "Raise your head to look at the bright moon, bow your head and think of your hometown", we haven't even seen the moon for ten years. ”

Seeing that many people's faces were sad, Lin Yao's words changed.

"But so what?

What did we do when we came to Mars for this? You must know that we are closer to this mysterious cosmic starry sky than the earth, and we have ancient ruins that have existed for an unknown number of years.

I don't know if you've noticed it, but in recent times our physique and strength have begun to increase dramatically, and I tell you, this increase is no longer called development, but evolution.

Isn't this what we are looking for when we leave the earth? Seeking kindness has already been benevolent, why should we go back?

With the starry sky of the universe as the background and the ever-evolving body as the guarantee, why can't we build Mars better than the earth?

So, ladies and gentlemen, please believe in yourselves and believe in me.

One day, Mars will have its own university, and our descendants will be better educated.

One day, Mars will become the paradise that Earth aspires to.

One day, our generation will be the pride of our predecessors and a model for future generations to follow.

One day, when we return to Earth to see the moon, we will receive a tsunami of mountains and tsunamis to welcome the cheers of heroes! ”

Looking at the many students below with red eye circles, Lin Yao paused for a moment, then pointed to the sky and said word by word: "I want to go back to Earth more than you, but as the president of the student union, I, Lin Yao, am willing to swear under the sky of Mars!"

If there is no glory in this life, I will never set foot on the earth! ”
