Chapter 34: The Evening

In the blink of an eye, 100 days have passed. It was a festive day for the entire base, with everyone smiling, receiving new clothes from the government, and holding plenty of food, including rice, as well as a variety of vegetables, and even a little meat!

Today is also the day when the agricultural transformation program is officially completed. In 100 days, humans received a total of 25,000 tons of staple food and more than 30,000 tons of vegetables, enough to feed the entire base for three years.

As for the meat that was distributed, it was basically chicken. Instant chickens can generally be slaughtered in more than 40 days, although they are fed with vegetables, relatively thin, but it is better to have meat to eat than nothing. For people nowadays, meat is already considered a valuable item.

The workers smiled one by one, what a luxury it is to eat a fragrant meal of rice compared to high-energy compressed food, and from now on, you can eat rice every day!

In order to celebrate this great harvest, a grand party was also held in the base, including the pit operators and manufacturing personnel, of course, the necessary left-behind personnel must still be there, but they can be divided into shifts for rest and entertainment, to ensure that everyone participates.

The food of the evening is not complicated, including glutinous rice balls, siu mai, steamed buns, dumplings, fat cakes, etc., all kinds of everything, in the form of a buffet, unlimited amounts, everyone can eat as much as they want.

Of course, if you are not used to eating Chinese food, there are also Western food, sandwiches and toast to choose from, but the variety is slightly less.

This party is poorer than any other party on earth, because the people don't have so many supplies. But for everyone, the party was already very satisfying, and they also knew the current situation at the base, and they couldn't ask for more.

The thought that it will be better in the future and that there will be more abundant food fills their hearts with anticipation.

The management of the base took out almost all the food in stock, including cigarettes, alcohol, sugar, various drinks, and all kinds of frozen meat, etc., these luxuries were originally enjoyed by the previous senior leaders of the base, and some were left behind after the explosion of the earth, this time, they were all taken out.

These luxuries have been used up, but they haven't been enjoyed for a long time, although the Noah also has an ecological park, and it is even larger, but the new seeds are sown, and there is no way to harvest them in a year and a half.

For these luxury goods, there is definitely no unlimited supply, everyone is rationed, and they can only receive one after swiping it once with their identity card. Of course, you can enjoy a variety of staple foods and vegetables as much as you like.

Thanks to the existence of biological laboratories, humans have preserved a large number of different varieties of organisms. Otherwise, there will always be only a few kinds of food back and forth, and it will be too miserable. But right now, people don't have the energy to breed these things on a large scale.

For example, some seafood shellfish, there are still some living specimens in the biological laboratory, but where does the seawater come from now, there is no breeding condition at all, so we can only supply them well, looking forward to the development of technology in the future, and then they will be cultivated on a large scale.

There are also some freshwater fish, which are now raised, and after the grain transformation is completed, there is finally enough to feed them, and it is estimated that they will mature in a year.

There are also pigs, sheep, and cows, and the reproductive capacity of these animals is still not as good as that of chickens, ducks, and fish, and they can only be slaughtered when they slowly spread their populations, at least for several years.

However, if there are species that do not even have biological laboratories, there is a high probability that they will be extinct, and with the current technology of human beings, there is no way to resurrect them...... It's a big pity, for foodies, there are a lot less things to eat.

At six o'clock in the evening, the large-scale party officially began. There are no special routines, and even the host is not very professional, but people are still very much looking forward to it, and after three months of crazy busyness, people need a night's rest and a night's release.

The host came to the stage and said a few sensational words casually, followed by various talent shows.

These people have all been auditioned, and the quality is okay. It is impossible for the organizers to let people cry wolves and howl and have incomplete tones. Of course, because people don't have time to rehearse at all, neither formal nor professional can be compared with those formal programs, but it is better for the whole people to participate!

Some people sang the world's most famous pop songs, some people presented a dance, and some people performed magic tricks, and the scene was very popular, and many of them were multi-talented, and won bursts of warm applause.

“Country roads…… take me home…… To the place …… I belong...... "There was a girl on stage who sang the song of her hometown, and people couldn't help but shed tears.

People remembered the days when order collapsed, the horror of not having enough food in the base, and even the hometown that they could never go back to, how could they not be sad......

Some people sobbed quietly, hometown, relatives, gone, gone, never to be seen.

But we still have to live if we live...... The atmosphere in the venue was a little depressing.

At this time, two more young men came on stage, one played the guitar and the other sang, the song may have been made up by himself, and the lyrics were adapted from "Saints" in "The Legend of the Galactic Heroes":

"We are saints, dear sir.

In the journey of pursuing a distant future, we have no hesitation.

Maybe to climb over the blue mountains of 10,000 years of snow at the end of the world,

Or through a moody sea.

The heart is like a saint, and he is in danger,

Comfortable and smooth roads have never been strangers to us.

The soul spreads its wings to face the unknown,

Courage pursues danger on the side.

We are hungry and thirsty.

Then live to meet the next dawn and challenges.

Only in this way can you find inner peace.

In order to tell everyone wisely:

'I have looked down on all beings from the farthest mountain tops,

There I received perfection and enlightenment, and I practiced it, experiencing cold, warmth, hunger and thirst.

Then live to meet the next dawn and challenges.

Finally, I found inner peace. ’

I will speak wisely to the people:

'I have looked down on all beings from the farthest mountain tops,

Attaining perfection and enlightenment there is a real epiphany in the depths of the soul.

That's what my life is all about.

It's my heartfelt choice!

Our journey is the sea of stars! ’”

Obviously, this is not pop music, nor classical music, it should be the score composed by these two young men themselves, and there is a hint of youth in it, but it feels very real.

Mankind, there is never a shortage of warriors, and the great fear of dying at any moment, the endless darkness in the depths of despair, is nothing compared to the heart of exploration?

In the face of the endless unknown, human beings are curious and afraid, and people stand on tiptoe, tremble the tips of their hearts, summon up the fighting spirit in their hearts, and walk towards the endless darkness. Who is not afraid of death, but, human beings, there will always be such warriors!

Pengamu disappeared in Lop Nur, Fawcett was swallowed up by an unknown jungle, and Franklin was trapped in the Arctic...... Failure after failure, but it cannot erase the ambition of mankind, because they are the greatest warriors of mankind!

And now, people are about to face the biggest challenge in history, and that is the starry sky! Whether forced or voluntary, fearful or excited, trembling or curious, people will begin to challenge – the height of the starry sky!

"Starry sky, here we come!" After the two of them finished singing, they shouted unfinished, but it unexpectedly resonated with many people.

Today's human beings are like a child who has not left the swaddling clothes, but the mother is gone, and the child must be strong on his own...... Otherwise, it's a cold death.

"O stars, O sea, we are coming!"
