Mercury Lamp is really naughty. After finding a giant sculpture of me and Sandora in front of the gate of the shelter, the first thing she did was to rush up and splash ink. She wrote on my nose. , on Sandora's chin was written Passing Bubbles—apparently, our former simple Chairman Shui has been completely spoiled by some people in the family. The first sentence she wrote is very Lilina's style, and the second sentence Words have nothing to do with Bubbles...
Of course, this is not the most dumbfounding thing. What makes me feel dizzy is that the little puppet of Mercury Lamp still has Chinese characters that she can’t write. She can’t write the character “You” when she visited here, and she actually used Chinese. Pinyin…
You said how dramatic and comical this whole thing is. The full-body portrait of the head of the empire was not only written with the words "here for a visit", but also a crooked Chinese pinyin!
Fortunately, it was the little princess of the empire who did this. Otherwise, I guess in the eyes of the apostles of Xiling who are supreme emperors, this must not be a matter of scribbling. They dare to raise this matter to the height of the dignity of the empire. go.
"Flickering—"
The little doll who had completed the prank flew down from the sky with fluttering wings, and sat back on my shoulder as if nothing had happened. She was holding a marker pen that was too big for her, gesticulating Expressed his own opinion: "This thing is really ugly! A sculpture tens of meters high is really meaningless!"
I really wanted to educate this arrogant and bad-tempered puppet, telling her that she should respect her father at least once in a while, even if she took this opportunity to rectify the family law a little bit, but suddenly I realized that I probably had no chance to speak. Because Qianqian also ran over at some point, and is now concentrating on engraving the five Olympic rings on the ankle of "Sandora", while Lin Xue drew Fuwa and Ultraman on "my" calf...
"So I said I don't like this urban sculpture..."
I looked at Sandora, who was also helpless, without tears, and turned to Bingtis, who had a defeated expression on his face, and explained, "Not only do I feel ashamed like that, but more importantly, there will always be three or two at home. An off-the-wall guy doing this..."
"You usually work really hard."
Bingtis once again realized the cheating nature of the first family of the empire, she looked at me and sighed sincerely.
Saeko has also lived with us for a long time, but at this time she seemed calmer than Bingtis. She just stuck out her tongue, and then pointed at the two huge alloy sculptures solemnly: "My lord brother, this is I did it just to express my gratitude to you, I know my elder brother doesn't like this kind of thing, but it is everyone's wish after all."
Of course I know this truth, but I just can’t adapt to this kind of high-standard way of thanking—we are just a guy waiting to die, no matter how great we are in the future, I’m afraid I’m not interested in this kind of personal sculpture tens of meters high. It seems like now, Sandora and I's photo stickers seem to have been printed on the currency of many worlds, but we never planned to throw our own sculptures into those worlds, and both Sandora and I think it's a kind of A big waste: From a practical point of view, printing your own photo sticker on the currency can at least prevent the common people from counterfeiting, but if you put a sculpture weighing several tons in the city center, you still expect your face to ward off evil spirits on the overpass no
"The protective cover on the shelter has not been removed yet," Saeko led us into the colonial city protected by the thick barrier, "but it is no longer useful, and now half of the oxygen supply here comes from the outside Environment, the only function of the protective cover is to adjust the temperature in the city, it is a bit cold at night here.”
No matter how it is built, the new Mars will always have a flaw compared to the original Earth, that is, it is still a little farther away from the sun. This long distance means that Mars can get very little sunlight. One part of the ecological reconstruction plan is to adjust The atmosphere of Mars increases the temperature of Mars by changing the thickness and physical properties of the atmosphere. At present, preliminary results have been achieved in warming up. The large vegetation in the northern hemisphere is the most obvious example, but in general, the nights of this planet are still a bit cold .
The transparent shield over the shelter has therefore remained until now - people need it to maintain the temperature of the city.
"In this way, the ecological dome should have the same problem, right?" My sister said worriedly, "There are another twenty-two temporary city-states, and the engineering team may not be able to build them in the same way as the shelter in a short time. The perfect eco-dome."
Sandora nodded, but she wasn't too worried: "It will definitely be a little inconvenient in the beginning, but they should learn to overcome it by themselves, the low temperature at night won't be too serious, if we don't even care about this little thing Give them a plan, and I'm afraid they'll never learn how to survive in this new world."
I thought about it, and this is the reason: Although the living environment on the transport ship is good enough, and we can directly build a large number of well-equipped ecological domes for the immigrants, after all, they cannot stay in the greenhouse all their lives. This new world needs They figured it out on their own—at least if it wasn't life-threatening, that kind of exploration was necessary.
"Speaking of which, haven't the people in the refuge ever worried about it?" Looking at the near-future-style shops and neat residential areas on both sides of the road, I suddenly remembered something, "There are hundreds of thousands of residents in the refuge. However, there are a total of 450 million immigrants from the ruined world. Even if the people in the shelter know more about this world and the new immigrants are not familiar with the place, such a huge difference in numbers will make the latter Become the dominant tribe in this world? The residents of the refuge will suddenly change from the only intelligent creatures in the world to a sparsely populated minority. Are they not afraid of being assimilated in a short time?"
Saeko obviously didn't think of this either, and she was stunned for a while when she heard my question, but after a little thought, Sandora had already come up with the answer, and answered first: "They don't need to worry about this.
Whether it is the residents of the refuge or the new immigrants, they are all under the complete rule of the empire. This world belongs to the refuge and the new immigrants, but in the final analysis it belongs to the empire... eh? Ah Jun, your expression is so strange. "
Me: "...it's okay, I thought you were going to say that it's Korean after all..."
Sandora: "..."
"I understand what Sandora means." My sister coughed dryly and interrupted my thoughts that had drifted to nowhere. Without territorial disputes, none of them will seize other's survival resources, and they can't grab them even if they want to - there is an absolute power watching. And the universe is so vast, there is almost unlimited living space for the two tribes , with the guidance of the Xiling Empire, those living spaces are almost prepared for every intelligent race under the empire, as long as they need it, they can get it at their fingertips at any time, in this case, who cares about the occupancy of a planet?"
"As for the population ratio, don't even think about it," Sandora took it over, "the disparity in the population ratio between the vassal races of the empire is already huge. Excluding the two tribes here, the Vidis elves have the smallest population among the vassal races." The population is only 10 million, and the human population of the New Eden Federation is almost 100 million times that... The situation here is just that two tribes with very different populations live on the same planet."
How about saying that people with high IQs can always bring a lot of pressure to people? My sister and Sandora have analyzed so many things in such a short period of time, but we were still confused at the beginning. In contrast, I Immediately, I felt that I was under a lot of pressure, so I quickly took out Ding Dong from my pocket, stared at the little thing for a while, and seeing the silly and confused expression of the little one in my hand, I immediately became more balanced.
The shelter is large in scale, but fortunately it is neatly planned and the traffic is clear at a glance. As long as you look at the map from the information terminal on the side of the road, you don’t have to worry about getting lost if you are nearby. Now we are walking towards this huge On the road in the inner ring of the city. The commercial centers on both sides of the road and the floating screens with colorful words make me feel that this place is not like a post-apocalyptic world at all, but a bustling city in the near future. If you have to find something related to "post-apocalypse", Probably there are only pedestrians in a hurry everywhere and the same style of transportation on the street. Because a lot of waste is waiting to be done, everyone is working hard. Because the basic industry has not yet recovered, the transportation has never been restored. Not updated. In addition, if you look carefully, you will find that the promotional curtain walls on both sides of the street do not actually have much commercial content. 60% of the content they display is related to the Mars ecological project, and some are calling for More technicians joined the ecological dispatch center and various field operation teams.
Perhaps we can find something related to the current situation of Mars. These signs are on the faces of passers-by: Although most residents are in a hurry and their faces are tired, it is not difficult to see the sparkle in their eyes, although there are not many Cheerful temperament, but without any meaning of frowning, on the large billboard at the end of the long street, the news of the new immigrants coming to Mars is alternately displayed in sharp strokes of the imperial characters and the common language of the refuge. I saw the videos of those giant transport ships landing at several other places on Mars. Many passers-by stopped and watched under these billboards, with relaxed expressions on their faces. Generally speaking, no one expressed dissatisfaction or rejection of the arrival of these new neighbors. It seems that the managers of the shelters are very good at guiding the emotions of the citizens. Otherwise, the bottom-level citizens would not be so calm about these shocking things.
When passing by the crowd gathered under these billboards, their whispered discussions also reached the ears.
"Ah, it seems that it really came. Today, it suddenly said that more than 400 million people are going to settle on this planet. I thought it was a joke."
"... I heard that their world was also destroyed. After hundreds of thousands of years of destruction, these 400 million people persisted in the ruins until the Royal Fleet rescued them..."
"Ah?! Really? This is really a group of scary guys!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, the emperor must have thought about it. Anyway, it's right not to put dangerous guys next to us, and on this planet... To be honest, it's a good thing if it can prosper, It always reminds me of my days on Earth.”
"It is said that their nearest settlement is in the dome outside the city. Maybe they can go over and have a look at that time? It shouldn't be forbidden to enter, right?"
Listening to these discussions, Lin Xue touched my arm lightly, and said in a low voice: "How is it? There is absolutely no need to worry about it before."
I smiled, looked around, and suddenly found a giant holographic projection in the distance that attracted people's attention, so I asked, "Saeko, what is that?"
"They?" Saeko also showed a surprised expression when she saw the image in the distance, and then she thought for a while: "It seems that the pair of sisters were mentioned in Mr. Xiaomuro's letter last time, and it seems that they were a pair of artists who had just debuted before the disaster. , survived the disaster very hard, they were silent for a while after the shelter was built, but now they are singing again, that's all I know."
On the huge screen in the distance is a pair of girls with short hair. They have similar looks and are singing songs in the background of the ever-changing scenery of the earth in the past. However, the appearance of such a pair of girl singers in this somewhat depressing refuge made people very concerned. I couldn't help but become a little interested, so I connected the information link and inquired about the information of the girl singers from the database. It will be out soon.
As Saeko said, the pair of girls were singers before the disaster, but they were very unknown. They basically belonged to the kind of bitter entertainers who had to record records at their own expense and also sang in bars to make a living. Their debut, singing and There is nothing special to write about in the first half of life history, except that after the catastrophe that destroyed seven billion people, they became the only hundreds of thousands of survivors in the world. After the shelter was built, the sister singers served as planters They are the caretakers of the park, and they continue to do this work until now. It was a few weeks ago that they returned to the stage. While serving as plantation caretakers, the sisters persuaded the refuge government to sing their own songs for free for the citizens of the refuge at a fixed time every day. The purpose seemed to be I hope this can rejuvenate people, let everyone not forget everything on Earth in the past, and work hard to build Mars into the same home.
"Praiseworthy behavior," Sandora also saw this brief information, and commented lightly. There are not many words, but it has already explained Her Majesty's affirmation of the girls, "But their influence seems not to be as good as As expected."
Saeko thought for a while, nodded and said, "Perhaps the daily life in the shelter is too tense, and people don't have time to listen to them sing."
"No, I think it might be because they were singing out of tune." I pricked up my ears and listened for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion.
Everyone: "..."
Bingtis: "Well, it seems that this is an inspirational story of courage and courage. Both sisters have good intentions and wishes. But why does this concubine feel that Chen you are so disruptive to the atmosphere when you speak?"
This time it's my turn: "..."
"In any case, they have worked very hard." In the end, the gentle elder sister made a forgiving evaluation. "In this case, having this heart is the most important thing, but only rely on the strength of the two of them." It's still a bit small, and they don't seem to be very suitable. Ah Jun, do you think we should do something?"
Elder Sister just said casually, but my heart is already active. I have not paid much attention to the situation on Mars Refuge. Perhaps the hundreds of thousands of survivors here are really small compared to other vassal races or macro-world races. The inconspicuousness may be due to the fact that the front line of the empire is always busy with wars and I have no time to care about others, but I have ignored the indisputable fact that these people are, and now I only think of them when I resettle the ruined tribes, that is because That made me feel even more uncomfortable with that giant sculpture they erected in front of the city.
In any case, this is half of Saeko's "hometown". Although the sense of existence is not very strong on weekdays, and the position at home has always been a nanny and an ordinary person, but since Saeko called me brother, I should do something.
"Let's take this opportunity and call that big family over."
I suddenly grinned and came up with an interesting idea, and then connected to the information link of the Space-Time Management Bureau under the puzzled eyes of the people around me. If I remember correctly, the onion fighter seems to be the management A junior official from the Bureau came.
The mental connection transferred through the Space-Time Administration was quickly connected, and a panicked voice sounded in my mind: "Hello? Hello? Is this the answer? Here is..."
"Is it Miku? Your big brother, big sister, second brother, second sister, third sister, third brother, and fourth younger sister... The younger brother and younger sister may have made a few mistakes just now, but anyway, are they at home?"
There was a sudden silence on the other side of the spiritual connection for a few seconds, and then there was a panicked exclamation: "Wow! It's you... can you say it again?"
I thought for a while: "... Who was the first one I said just now?"
Hatsune didn't answer, probably because she couldn't react and the phone crashed.
"Ahem, in short, I have a task for you. It is best to mobilize your whole family to come here. This is how it is. In the Mars Refuge—yes, it is one of the three venues during the last Macro World Carnival. Should have been here, now there are some big changes here, the whole planet has been ecologicalized, and there are a group of new residents... This is the situation, I want you to organize a concert... Don't worry, that terrible one meter Once it won't appear, you don't have to worry about her three onions—by the way, are you still practicing the onion pulling technique recently?"
The person on the other side finally couldn't help it anymore, and yelled frantically: "How could it be possible to have that kind of kung fu!"
In the end, this matter was settled like this. In fact, I think it is very simple. To inspire human beings, the most suitable way is an art form that is in line with their worldview, such as a grand enough celebration that allows all people to participate. Sandora may be a layman in this regard, but the Hatsune family is absolutely professional: that happy family is born to inspire people.
