Chapter 1: Zheng He
"Zheng He" is a spaceship sunk on the bottom of the sea, an outer space scientific research spaceship named after an ancient navigator. It should have been able to fly away from the earth and sail to the unknown universe of human beings with the yearning of human beings. But now, it can only sleep somewhere on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
The Zheng He is a large spaceship with a three-deck structure, and the upper deck is a military area, which mainly includes a bridge as a command center, a hangar, an arsenal, and an ecological cabin, and in order to improve work efficiency, the rest cabin for military personnel is also designed here. Compared to the complex structure of the upper military district, the middle level is relatively simple, with a wide atrium lined with a corridor leading to the civilian area, through which rows of dormitory cabins can be seen in appearance and function. With the continuous reduction of the population on the Zheng He, the family cabin of the original four people living together is very spacious, and now, as long as you want, you can basically apply for a separate resting accommodation.
The people who live here can be said to be the descendants of the real crew of the Zheng He, and in the hundreds of years since the spaceship sank to the bottom of the sea, he has survived, and each generation has been born, grown, reproduced, and then died here. For them, the crucifixion ship is their whole world.
The atrium area was originally a transportation hub connecting the whole ship, extending in all directions, and its main role was to connect other areas and temporarily store supplies. Now, the atrium area has gradually developed into a commercial street. On both sides, shops of different heights and shapes have been built. Bakery, bar, clinic, repair shop and much more. Due to the continuous scarcity of materials, it has long been impossible to meet the needs of everyone on board, and everyone can only exchange for their own needs through more labor, and a more free mode of survival, so that people simply change the name of this area to "Atrium Street".
The young man who ran on the street was called Shen Xin, he had no father and no mother, he was raised by his uncle since he was a child, his uncle was called "Shen Dali", he was originally an officer on the spaceship, I don't know what the reason is, a few years ago, he took off his military uniform and retired from the army. Now their uncle and nephew run a fish shop together.
"Shen Xin, why are you lazy to sleep again, why don't you have a long heart at all. Shen Dali glanced at Shen Xin, who had just run into the Shen family's fish shop, and complained.
"Uncle Dali, I'm afraid of your nagging, I've already come running, and you won't let people live. For the big pale (fish) yesterday, I was tired until midnight and went back to sleep. ”
"It's as if you're done alone," Shen Dali said.
"Then I'll do something too, you can't deny the fruits of my labor," Shen Xin tried to retort.
"I'm still working on the fruits of your labor, catch a fish, you said you have back pain, transport the fish back, you say your leg hurts, when you process the fish, well, your hands hurt again, we are working, you are shouting that it hurts, I just want to know where you don't hurt, you don't have any energy at all when you are young. Shen Dali pressed the fish head with his left hand, picked up the fish cutting knife with his right hand, and the knife fell from his hand, and the unknown small fish on the processing table instantly split into two.
Shen Xin pretended to be frightened by Shen Dali and said: "Wow, uncle, your fish cutting skills are getting better and better, clean and sharp, moderate strength, accurate angle, and no mud and water at all." If you want to talk about this fish cutting kung fu, on the atrium street, you say second, no one dares to say first. ”
Hearing Shen Xin's smooth flattery to himself, Shen Dali said angrily: "Get out, let me ask you, how many fish sellers are there on the atrium street?"
Shen Xin saw that he didn't shoot the ass at all, and reluctantly remedied, "Two, you are the first, I am the second, if you are the second, I can only be the third, hehe......"
"Stinky boy, I see that your talking skills are the first in Atrium Street, oh no, Zheng He is the first. As Shen Dali spoke, his hand rose and fell, and another fish was chopped into two pieces.
At this moment, a noisy sound came from the walkie-talkie on the table next to it. "Uncle Dali, is Shen Xin here, call him over quickly, the isolation cabin is not small, like a big guy, hurry up." ”
Shen Dali was about to pick up the walkie-talkie to reply, but was snatched by Shen Xin.
"Roger, receiving, I'll be right over. ”
Shen Xin put down the walkie-talkie, walked quickly to the oven in the corner of the fish shop, took three or five pieces of fish that I don't know if they were cooked, and walked outside the fish shop as he spoke.
"Uncle, you see that this person can wait for the fish, and it's not good to let the fish wait for the others, I have to hurry up. Before the words fell, Shen Xin slipped away and disappeared.
After watching Shen Xin teleporting and "escaping" from the fish shop, Shen Dali went on to catch the next fish, and muttered self-adoringly, "Clean and sharp, moderate strength, accurate angle, don't drag mud and water at all, go you." (The little fish, which was split in two, also muttered, "Who did I offend?")
On the two pieces of glass in the window of the fish shop, "unpalatable" and "nutritious" are written respectively.
Not far from the fish shop is a repair shop, operated by a father and daughter, the father is called "Eba" and the daughter is called "Ejiu".
In his early forties, he is a very good mechanic. He had a very beautiful daughter and doted on her. In his eyes, what his daughter does in this world is right and reasonable, no matter what his daughter wants to do, he will support her unconditionally, if he hears that his daughter has been bullied, he will kill this person completely without regard to the consequences.
The tall, muscular Eba sat on his welding chair, flipped through a book with yellowed pages, and from time to time picked up the purple pot on the table to eat a cup of tea.
"Eighth, eighth, come and help me see what's wrong?" As soon as the words fell, Eba stood up from his chair and walked quickly to his precious daughter as if the ancient ministers had heard the emperor's holy decree.
"Xiao Jiu, what's the matter, what are you doing. "Eba is always so soft when he speaks to his daughter.
"I helped Grandma Li improve the automatic noodle grinder, you can help me take a look. "Although E Jiu also likes machinery very much, it is obvious that the level is still far behind.
Ehachi looked at the workbench and walls, which had been clean a few minutes ago, already covered with flour and dough mud thrown out of the dough grinder.
"This, Xiao Jiu, you listen to your father, in fact, you are very close to success, as long as you ......" E Ba was about to patiently explain to his baby daughter when he was interrupted by E Jiu's "ah".
"Ah, eighth, what time is it?"
"It's about ten o'clock. "Eba seems to have long been accustomed to the words of this daughter in the family.
"It's over......" Ejiu took off his work clothes, which were also stained with flour, and turned to walk towards the mirror hanging on the wall. E Jiu looked in the mirror and said while combing his long hair: "Old eight, I have important things today, hurry up, I'll leave the rest to you, wait for me to come back in the evening for acceptance." ”
After a simple dress, E Jiu turned around and rushed out of the house.
"Stay safe, don't do dangerous things!" before Eha's words to his precious daughter fell, and there was only air left in the door......
Shen Xin rushed out of his fish shop, out of Shen Dali's sight, and quickly returned to the rhythm of dragging, strolling leisurely on the dim atrium street.
On the lower level of the tail of the atrium, there are several pressure isolation cabins, which is where Shen Xin and them fish, hang some bait on the bulkhead, and then open the door outside the isolation cabin, when the cabin is filled with seawater, from time to time some fish will get into the compartment. Every once in a while, they would close the outer hatch again, and they would occasionally catch something.
"My brother, can you slow down a little more?" Shen Xin knew as soon as he heard it was the voice of his good buddy "You Xiaolong".
"What's the hurry, the fish can't run. Shen Xin said as he walked towards You Xiaolong.
"Is the water gone?" Shen Xin then asked.
"Let it go, just wait for you to come," Xiao Long replied very seriously.
"What are you doing with me, you can't do it alone. ”
"No, brother, listen to this, big guy! I'm afraid I can't handle it alone," You Xiaolong said with a little excitement.
The original tempered glass on the hatch had long been broken, so Shen Xin had the repair workshop welded to death with an alloy iron plate at the cost of ten unpalatable grilled fish.
"How long has it been since the water was released?" Shen Xin asked Xiao Long as he walked to the rusty inner hatch and listened with his ear to the hatch wall.
"It's been 30 minutes, almost, brother," Xiaolong replied as if waiting for instructions from his superiors. As he spoke, there was a noise in the compartment, and the contents seemed to be in a dying throe.
"Phew, it's still fluttering, the guy inside is really a master of resistance. Just be patient. Shen Xin motioned for Xiao Long to sit down with him.
Shen Xin took out two pieces of grilled fish from his pocket and handed them to Xiao Long, who took the fish pieces and threw them directly into his mouth, chewing them in a big mouth.
Shen Xin looked at Xiao Long eating and rising, and then looked at the fish pieces that were only half gnawed off in his hand, and wondered in his heart that he and the strong man in front of him were not eating the same thing, and then asked, "Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious, it's delicious!" replied in a vague way as Xiao Long chewed on the fish pieces.
"Since we were children, we basically ate this every day, don't you feel tired?" Shen Xin then asked.
"Of course not, Uncle Mighty grilled fish, I never get tired of eating it. Xiao Long has already begun to lick the broken fish residue on his hands.
"I'll go, give it, I'm not hungry" Shen Xin handed the fish piece in his hand to Xiaolong with a disgusted face.
"Hey, you know why I'm 1.87 meters long, and you're only 1.77 meters, right?" The height difference between the two was summed up by You Xiaolong.
Shen Xin looked at the foodie opposite, and thought of the four words written on the glass of his fish shop, "nutrition" should be there, such as Xiaolong's height of 10 centimeters taller, but "unpalatable" is not necessarily, such as Xiaolong's eating appearance......
