Chapter 42: The Beginning of the New Year
Time passes day by day, and this day is the last day of the first year of the new human calendar, and after the last day of labor, people will be given a small vacation of up to five days.
Of course, there are still people on duty in some necessary departmental positions, such as hospitals, power departments, the military, etc. However, these departments operate in shifts, and individual staff members can take turns to rest according to their shifts.
At present, almost all of the more than 50,000 people on the Noah have been transferred to their posts, and there is no longer any unemployed, and a large number of positions are still short of manpower. Scientists are preparing to replace these scarce jobs with intelligent robots.
Jobs like cooks and cleaners have all but disappeared and been replaced by machines. A dish is programmed, and each process is accurate to the second, although it is not as good as a special chef, but it can be said to be more than enough for an ordinary chef...... (Note: At present, there are already such machines, please Baidu for details.) )
Because of the shortage of population, some positions are even arranged for prisoners, and they also have a certain salary, and those who perform better can also have their sentences commuted. This is a great opportunity for some people who want to repent and turn their ways.
However, until the end of their sentences, their freedom is still restricted, and they can only move and work in a small area.
The 50,000 ordinary people on board the Noah have been through so much, and it can be said that they are completely united, and they are looking forward to the first year of their life, and they also have a sense of joy.
After work, people happily light up neon lights and hang small gifts on the Christmas tree to make the atmosphere of the New Year even stronger.
Asians put couplets and banners on both sides of the gate, and Europeans and Americans also celebrate their own New Year's Day customs. They were singing, praying, blessings, confessing, and hugging each other and greeting each other......
In short, this year has a sense of mixing East and West, and perhaps it will evolve into a new culture in the future, a unique culture that belongs to the new human race.
At six o'clock in the evening, both single and family members attended a big party. The party was organized spontaneously by the people, with good wine and good food, and there were no excessive ceremonies.
While enjoying the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, people can sing and dance on the stage.
“…… One cup to the hometown, one cup to the distance...... A glass of freedom, a glass of death......" Yu Yifeng was forced to come to the stage, sang a song, picked up a glass of wine, and saluted all the people.
"This glass of wine is a tribute to all of you here, and a tribute to the fallen warriors.
Thank you all for your hard work over the past year. Thank you also to those who have given their lives for our tomorrow......
Well, I would like to conclude with a Happy New Year and all the best to everyone! ”
Yu Yifeng said a few words briefly, and said hello to all the people, he felt that he had a big tongue, his head was dizzy, he should be a little drunk!
Also, so many heads of enterprises, so many important officials, none of them can be left behind, and they accompany them one by one, and they are still highly liquor. There are also Xu Yunjin and Zhao Yao's group of guys, who deliberately tried their best to him, and it's not bad to be able to survive until now. Even if he was a superhuman, he couldn't hold on anymore.
Yu Yifeng just thought about going back to the dormitory and getting a good night's sleep......
Also on this day of the Chinese New Year, the long-awaited public entertainment facilities were finally opened, such as: large libraries, Internet cafes, gymnasiums, gymnasiums, etc., adding a large number of entertainment facilities for human beings.
From now on, the Noah will implement the work system of "doing six days off and one day off", and everyone will get one day off for every six days of work. This system has been warmly welcomed by all.
At half past seven in the evening, after the party, some people drank too much and had to go back to the dormitory to rest, while the rest flocked to various entertainment venues.
"Zhao Chao, go to the Internet café to play? The price is also not expensive, 1 Singapore dollar per hour. Wang Zhiyuan took a cigarette in his mouth and smoked comfortably. Because of the Chinese New Year, the prices of these luxury goods are all discounted, and they can finally be consumed.
"Ahem!" may be because he hasn't smoked for a long time, Wang Zhiyuan is a little uncomfortable, choking and coughing.
However, he still insisted on drawing it, even if this thing was discounted, it would cost 1 Singapore dollar, which was very expensive and could not be wasted.
His good friend Zhao Chao was also lucky not to hang up on the Martian virus, and his girlfriend Victoria also didn't hang up. In this way, the relationship between the two people has gone further, and now they are living together, and they don't know when they will get married.
"Going to an Internet café?" Zhao Chao scratched his head in embarrassment, feeling a little sorry for his friend, and stammered, "...... I promised Victoria, ...... tonight"
"Forget it, don't disturb your good deeds......"
Wang Zhiyuan understood as soon as he heard it, said angrily, waved his hand, what a guy who forgot his friends......
Zhao Chao is gone, and now only Wang Zhiyuan is left.
Suddenly, he felt overwhelmed. He felt like a wind-up machine, busy all the time, and suddenly stopped, but a little uncomfortable, which is also the feeling of many people.
Or, go back to work? The project at hand is not finished yet?
As soon as this idea appeared, Wang Zhiyuan couldn't smile bitterly, when did he become so workaholic......
Again, he really seems to have a tendency to become a workaholic...... Whenever he makes scientific research results, he has a sense of joy and accomplishment that comes from his heart.
As soon as this sense of joy and accomplishment came up, he didn't care about any tiredness and exhaustion, and he felt that what kind of effort was worth it.
This feeling of single-handedly promoting the progress of civilization is really great, so wonderful that people can't stop at all.
No...... It's all of us who have signs of becoming workaholics, and there are a lot of people who work overtime every day. If it weren't for the government's deadline for overtime, it is estimated that some people would have been able to work all night every day until they could no longer hold on.
This kind of frenzied passion for work has become an atmosphere that imperceptibly affects everyone.
The impact is very far-reaching, because creativity is very much needed in today's work. Mechanized work has almost all been replaced by robots.
Creative work is generally very difficult, but the more difficult it is, the more challenging it is. Because there are difficult things, it is cool to do and the sense of accomplishment is great...... The moment it was finished, it was like sucking d.u.
Wang Zhiyuan shook his head and said to himself, "Damn...... When did humans become so industrious? ”
In his impression, human beings are still lazy creatures, when did they fight so hard?
It's really weird, when did this vibe come about?
He sat in the corner, picked up another cigarette and smoked it. He began to think quietly, perhaps because of the drink he had, and he felt that his mind was unusually unrestrained.
Human beings have experienced too much in this year, one big project after another, and life and death crises again and again, so that everyone has a strong cohesion and centripetal force.
From the explosion of the earth at the beginning, to the food crisis, to the collision crisis between the moon and the earth, and then to the Mars virus crisis, every time it is at the level of extinction, human ...... Didn't you survive it?
Now, many ordinary people are aware of the original moon-earth collision crisis, and although they are a little afraid, they do not blame the government for hiding the truth at that time.
After all, they all fled and ascended to heaven, and they all came back to life. People know that if the government told them the truth directly, it would be bad, and some people would despair and collapse......
After going through so many things, the credibility of the new government is really strong, and basically no one has much opinion about the new government.
What the government says, people basically believe unconditionally, and no one is crooked. In addition, the chief Yu Yifeng himself has too many loyal fans, which leads to the government's very strong execution, and people can support and implement an order.
Wang Zhiyuan himself also believes that the current government is honest, fair, and efficient, and it is the most important in history, and there is nothing to find fault with.
Mr. Yu Yifeng sits in the position of the chief, which can be said to be the best choice. If someone jumps out and says so-and-so is more suitable to be the chief. So this kind of person is either a madman or a fool, Wang Zhiyuan promised to spit in the past, and I believe that many people think the same way.
For this phenomenon of personality worship, Wang Zhiyuan feels that there is nothing bad, no matter what, it is better than worshipping singers and actors, right?
In such a dangerous situation, humanity will all perish if it is not careful. At such a critical time, we should worship the wise and the strong.
Only the most intelligent and strong people can lead mankind out of a way of life......
