After getting into the car, Liang Wanwen reversed out of the parking space and introduced: "The main activity is tomorrow, tonight I will arrange you in the guest house of the production management committee, and it is no problem to live in a double room, right?" ”

"Yes." Wang Ping'an and Angli replied in unison.

Liang Wanwen glanced at the two of them and said nothing.

The car drove out of the station, and the big billboard outside the station scrolled to play the advertisement of "Rift Valley New Town Commercial Housing is Cheap and Good Scenery", and the big loudspeaker under the billboard was playing: "The division of rooms does not depend on work, and there is no queue!" Rift Valley New Town, your new home! ”

Liang Wanwen glanced at Wang Ping'an: "I'm used to driving and driving on the radio, no problem, right?" ”

"No problem." Wang Ping'an nodded.

Then the voice of the news broadcast sounded in the carriage: "The Space Force Vesta fleet took resolute action to destroy the pirates' stronghold on asteroid 762, destroy five pirate ships, kill 370 pirates, and capture ......"

Liang Wanwen suddenly said: "These pirates, only do them, and don't annihilate those big foreign companies, you can't get rid of them!" ”

Angri asked curiously, "Is there anything to do with this?" ”

"Do you think, if there are no pirates, then there is no reason for the big foreign companies to keep their own security fleets? It must be that they are self-respecting.

"And there are no valuable things in the asteroid belt, they are all mines, and they are not rare mines. If you want to say which asteroid has rare fissile material, forget it, but what does the asteroid produce, iron, copper, and even lanthanides!

"The asteroid is poor, the environment is poor, and as a result, people continue to go to the asteroid belt one after another, which must be a conspiracy of big companies!

"The resource-rich planets are all controlled by the Production Management Committee and the Air Traffic Management Committee, and they can't touch Europa or Titan, so they use their brains in the asteroid belt."

Liang Wanwen was like a taxi driver, chattering for a long time.

Even Wang Ping'an couldn't interject, so he could only glance at Angli.

At this time, Liang Wanwen suddenly asked: "By the way, you said that this smuggling, is it possible that those big companies are doing it?" ”

Wang Ping'an was stunned for a moment: "This time? No, I don't think so, it's just two bear kids running aboard. ”

"How could two children run on board without being discovered? No, that's not right. The site from which you are starting is the fortress of the Space Force. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Large companies deliberately infiltrate, and then they want to use this incident to create a public opinion offensive and attack the Space Force! I heard that the mother of the child who died is a little problematic! ”

Angli frowned: "I think it's just an ordinary parent who spoils his children too much." ”

Liang Wanwen: "Hmph, who knows." The husband is a model worker and has a very high status, so the wife gradually has the mentality of a noble lady, and I have seen a lot of such things. Of course, there is also the opposite, the woman is the 38 Red Flag Bearer, and the husband thinks he is a master.

"It's still good like you, both of them are silver stars, and both of them have a high level of ideological awareness, so that the family can always be healthy! If you want me to look at it, in the future, it should be a model worker with a model worker, a silver star with a silver star, and a Venus ......"

Wang Ping'an interrupted Liang Wanwen's words: "You are not right, our basic principle is freedom of love." ”

"But now that psychology has developed, there are supercomputers and big data, don't you see that the planned economy couldn't do market regulation in the past, and you had to queue up to buy TVs in the pre-aerospace era, because the planning indicators could not catch up with the demand.

"But then with big data, supercomputers, and artificial intelligence, we suddenly overtook us!

"Now love should also be managed, planned, and handed over to computers and big data, so that everyone's family will be happy......"

Wang Ping'an suddenly had an idea and said, "Director Liang, are you not on good terms with your lover?" ”

"yes." Liang Wanwen, who was originally talking at length, suddenly fell silent, and said after a few seconds, "She regards herself as a noble lady now, especially recently, I may be about to mention the section chief, and I get angry when I look at her energy." ”

Angeli: "Angry? ”

"Yes, she picks and chooses the food rationed, and someone keeps her fresh fish, and then she thinks about luxuries that are not within the ration all day long! I just said that these luxury goods were all made by foreign super companies to corrupt us, but she didn't listen to them and quarreled with me! ”

Wang Ping'an pouted: "If it's coffee and tea, it's understandable." ”

"She wants a bag! Ask for a new lipstick! Her lipstick horn bells and whistles! I said that I didn't need such bells and whistles for my career, just a little lipstick, and then she had another fight with me. ”

Saying that, Liang Wanwen turned his head to look at Angli: "Comrade Second Lieutenant shouldn't use lipstick, right?" ”

"I don't need it, the military regulations can't use it. But I can understand your wife's needs......"

Liang Wanwen: "Oh, don't be a wife, you let her hear it, this tail has to go to the sky." ”

Wang Ping'an: "On our side, those who are married are generally called lovers, and those who are not married are called partners." She is a foreigner, she just arrived in China after being admitted to the Space Force, and she has not lived in China before she has gone on a mission, so she doesn't know much about this. ”

"Oh, I thought she'd been naturalized for a long time. But she's so beautiful as a foreigner, and genetic modification costs a lot of money, right? Foreign gentlemen seem to be particularly attracted to our side, you see the old card of the pre-aerospace era, that is, the son of a big landowner......"

Angli: "No, my family should be considered a bourgeois according to the classification here." ”

"Then how do you tune your genes so well? What is it called? It's a thing that fools people by randomness! Or are you actually the illegitimate child of some rich man? ”

Angli: "I'm a natural person, and I only changed the color of my hair the day after tomorrow. You see, I'm still short-sighted. ”

Liang Wanwen turned his head to look, his face was full of shock: "I thought it was decoration." ”

At this time, it happened to be at the intersection, and the red light happened, Liang Wanwen stopped the car and waited for the countdown to end. Wang Ping'an saw a large crowd gathering in front of him.

"What's that?" He asked Liang Wanwen.

"A new store is about to open."

Wang Ping'an: "Aren't the luxury goods from the earth sold in the luxury section of the Friendship Store?" ”

"Things have changed, how many years have you not been to Mars?"

"Two years."

"Now it's open to big foreign companies to set up factories on Mars, and they're also allowed to sell their products openly. Recently, Zhenghe City has opened a lot of new specialty stores, selling clothing, cosmetics, and consumer electronics. Women and young people flock to it. ”

Wang Ping'an muttered: "Mars has also begun to produce luxury goods, although I know that there must be this day, but ...... I thought it would start after the Martian environment was almost finished. ”

Liang Wanwen looked at the crowd gathered at the door of the store with a melancholy expression, and said in a low voice: "The task received by our Propaganda Department is to publicize that this represents the transformation of Mars from a painstaking place to a second home for mankind, and that this is a small step for Mars to become the same as the Earth.

"I have no right to interfere with the decision-making above. But I came to Mars as a trailblazer, even though I'm a propagandist. I once carried a camera on my back and walked all over the various pioneering sites on Mars, watching the young pioneers fight the wind and sand and fight the bitter cold!

"I've seen engineers who were frozen into popsicles while repairing heating equipment, and convoys that broke into a storm to deliver oxygen, you know? In the big storm, the sand in the storm is all hematite powder, and the heat dissipation of the car is covered with a layer of iron, which is tightly blocked!

"You know what kind of mood we had when we came to Mars?"

Wang Ping'an: "I understand, believe me." ”

Angli: "But isn't everyone's struggle so that one day people living on Mars can go crazy about luxury and no longer have to fight the sand?" ”

Liang Wanwen was silent.

At this time, the green light came, and he released the handbrake and stepped on the accelerator - it should be called an electric pedal.

A few seconds after the car started, Liang Wanwen said: "I don't know, I always feel uncomfortable, Mars should be the forward base for human expansion, in order to turn the asteroid belt and even the Jupiter circle into an industrial base for human habitation." We should fight for three more generations for the expansion of humanity in the solar system, shouldn't we?

"Think about it, we are still using tertium-reflexing spaceships that are so slow, we can't replace all spaceships with flare ships, and the industrial capacity is simply not enough! All the ships waiting for us are torchships, and in just a week to Jupiter, more than half of the population of the Earth can even move to the universe!

"Shouldn't we be working for that future? What is luxury? ”

Angli: "You're right, but...... Not everyone is so noble, there is always someone who needs entertainment, who needs luxury, and who needs ...... Some comparisons. ”

Liang Wanwen was silent again.

It seems that it will be quite difficult to get this first-generation Martian pioneer to accept the current situation.

At this time, the car drove through a street park, and the Martian youths in it were all wearing the same bell bottoms as the fashionable young people on the earth, wearing sunglasses, playing guitars and singing frivolous songs.

Liang Wanwen looked at the young people silently.

Suddenly, he said, "Our generation is always going to die, and after we die, who will struggle?" Who will go to a distant land of turmoil? ”

Wang Ping'an: "Don't worry, there will always be people in the new generation who will yearn for these, and then set off resolutely." This is how the fire has been passed down from generation to generation. ”

Liang Wanwen seemed to suddenly think of something that pleased him, and he said, "Yes." There may be hope for the new generation. My son wanted to apply to go to Titan, and his mom was crazy and kept saying how dangerous that place was. The kid wants to send the kid to Mercury and work as a solar array repairman, which is both safe and senior. ”

"Then you'll have to support him." Angli said enthusiastically, "Why don't we two enlighten him?" ”

Liang Wanwen: "...... Okay, or tonight, I should have arranged for the two of you to go to the guest house cafeteria, but as the person in charge of hospitality, it makes sense for me to pay for you to eat a special Martian meal, isn't it? ”

Wang Ping'an: "Yes! Deal! ”
