The last human in the universe

Chapter 12 The First Lesson
Although the children are still a little younger now, it is still possible to attend a small kindergarten class.

Regarding children's education, experts on the earth have also discussed it.The final conclusion is that the education of the children here on Sedna, Human Base One, cannot fully replicate the experience on Earth.

The education of children on earth is actually quite loose, and there are too many other things added to education.Of course, there is nothing inappropriate about this. After all, the human world on earth is extremely rich in environmental materials, and the society is stable, and the problem of survival has long been solved.

Here on Star Sedna, there are only a few human beings, and the continuation of civilization is the most important thing.This determines that children must quickly master the basic skills to maintain the operation of the base and the basic skills to live here.If possible, it is best to have some ability to innovate proactively.

The purpose of education is very clear. Here, education is just education, without any other things attached, such as ranking, future, status and so on.

Based on this, the courses designed by the experts are quite compact. Basically, before the age of 18, they have to complete the courses that can only be learned by human universities in the Earth Age.

Recalling his experience of going to school on Earth, Zhao Changxing thought to himself, looking at these cute and bright children with red lips and white teeth, "Your tragic era is about to begin."

For the children's first class, Zhao Changxing specially made some preparations.On this day, he changed out of all the space wandering-style clothes, such as the silver-white multifunctional cabin suit, portable computer, etc., and put on clothes, T-shirts, and jeans with a strong earth casual style.

In the classroom, the children were still making noise.Maybe they sensed that the atmosphere was not right today. After Zhao Changxing walked in, they gradually calmed down. With the help of the robot aunt, they each returned to their seats and looked at Zhao Changxing with curious eyes.

"Today, I'm here to give you the first lesson. We all have a common name, human beings. We come from the earth, and we have a written history of up to 5000 years..."

Facing a group of children in small kindergarten classes, Zhao Changxing certainly couldn't talk too deeply.His purpose today is just to let the children have an impression of the two nouns human beings and earth.

This is the inheritance of civilization, as well as the inheritance of history and culture.With these inheritances, no matter where humans wander in the universe in the future, they will have a sense of belonging in their hearts and know where their "roots" are.This is extremely important in shaping the shape of society in the future.

However, as long as there is still one person who remembers these things and can have a sense of belonging to these inheritances, human civilization will not be considered dead.

A lesson was over quickly, and the children quickly lost their patience, so they started playing carefree again.And Zhao Changxing has decided that no matter how big the human population grows in the future, the first lesson for all children must start with knowing their own identity and their hometown.

Subsequent courses will be completed by robot teachers under Xiaoxi's control.Zhao Changxing was able to free himself, and once again devoted his energy and time to the construction of Human Base No. [-].

The most important task at this stage is to carry out the construction of the life support area.The official human base No. [-] life support area is different from the life support area in the first phase of the project.It can't be a little bit, it must be perfect, after all, people in the future will be counting on it to live.

Its area is also very large, more than 200 square meters.The core components are of course the miniature fusion reactor and generator, followed by the water purification circulation system, air purification circulation system and temperature control system, as well as the power grid system.

These four systems are like blood vessels, extending to every part of the entire human base No. [-], maintaining the normal operation of the entire base.And their source of power is the life support area.From this point of view, it is no exaggeration to regard the life support area as the heart of the base.

The construction of the life support area means that a large number of pipes and cables need to be laid, and the structure is extremely complicated. A mistake in one place may mean the collapse of the entire system.Fortunately, experts from the earth have already completed this most complicated and arduous project on behalf of Zhao Changxing, and made detailed drawings.Zhao Changxing doesn't even need to know what a certain pipeline does, why it is laid in that direction, why it is necessary to reserve an interface here, why the flow rate here needs to be designed so high, and why it is necessary to install three monitoring modules here , he doesn't need to pay attention to it all, he just needs to follow the drawings to install it one by one.

Because the completed framework at this moment is only the soilless cultivation workshop and the animal husbandry workshop, the pipes and cables that need to be laid in other areas are temporarily ignored, as long as the interfaces are reserved in advance.Even so, the work took longer than he had imagined.

It took him more than five months to complete the work.And this is just laying the pipes and cables outside the workshop to make a general interface, and the more complicated laying inside has not yet begun.

Fortunately, the preliminary work is only in progress now, the first phase of the project has not been dismantled, and the only micro-fusion reactor is still supporting the two workshops to continuously produce all kinds of food, so he has not encountered a food crisis.

Otherwise, the project has been delayed for such a long time, maybe he can only use the two starch reactors again and rely on starch for a living.

After all, the actual construction environment is too complicated, and what will be encountered during the process cannot be predicted in advance.Even on the earth, no matter how perfect the planning and production are, in the end, there are countless things that exceed the budget and exceed the construction period.

Fortunately, these things are finally finished now.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Changxing started laying various pipes and cables in the soilless cultivation workshop and animal husbandry workshop without stopping, and completed it after more than three months.

At this time, it is time to officially stop the operation of the first phase of the project and transplant the miniature fusion reactor into the life support area of ​​the human base No. [-].

In the life support area of ​​the first phase of the project, Zhao Changxing shut down the miniature fusion reactor with a solemn expression. After a while, the generator stopped running, and all the rooms, lighting systems, water, air circulation systems, temperature control systems, etc. of the entire first phase of the project were At the same time, the work was stopped, and all the buildings in the first phase of the project immediately became pitch black.

The temperature began to drop rapidly, and within 20 hours at most, the temperature inside the room would be the same as outside.

That is an extremely cold temperature that even gas can freeze into a solid.

Wearing a space suit, Zhao Changxing began to disassemble the big guy bit by bit with various tools, and carefully added protection to it to prevent it from being damaged during the transfer process.

If it breaks somewhere, you're in big trouble.

The Hongqi space vehicle has been temporarily converted into a trailer for this transfer, and it is waiting outside.

Under the extremely low gravity of Sedna, Zhao Changxing, like a strong man, easily lifted the reactor components weighing hundreds of kilograms and fixed them on the trailer.After going back and forth several times, they drove the space vehicle to a new location.

After carefully assembling it, Zhao Changxing solemnly pressed the start button after the self-check.

Accompanied by a tremor—there should be a sound, but there is a vacuum in the life support area, so the sound cannot be transmitted—the prompt of successful startup appeared on the display screen.

Under the energy provided by the micro fusion reactor, the large generator started to run.The lights in the life support area immediately turned on.With electricity, the rest of the air circulation system, water circulation system, temperature control system, etc. also began to operate.

Zhao Changxing left here and walked into the soilless cultivation workshop.At this moment, the huge, empty room was filled with light.

After looking at the instrument readings, Zhao Changxing took off the spacesuit directly.The slightly cold air rushed towards his face, instantly surrounding him.

The temperature is still a little low for now, but it will rise soon.

"Finally, I don't have to wear this thing to work."

Zhao Changxing said with emotion.

In the days that followed, under his busy day after day, the piles of messy building materials gradually turned into partitions, rows of shelves, lights, monitors, and monitors in his hands. Or various complex and precise machinery.

It took nearly half a year, with an area of ​​up to 600 square meters, and the soybean planting area of ​​the soilless cultivation workshop was completed first.

Unlike the first phase of the project, the soilless cultivation workshop here is highly automated.From sowing to harvesting, as well as intermediate cultivation, nutrient solution supply and automatic adjustment, there is almost no need for human intervention in the whole process.The things that need to be done manually are almost only daily monitoring, maintenance after occasional accidents, and manipulation and adjustment of some data.

At this moment, in the soybean planting workshop, there are rows of fluorescent lamps on the roof, and rows of neatly arranged shelves on the floor. The different shelves are all connected by nutrient solution pipelines. Dozens of robots are connecting the shelves. Shuttle between, under the control of Xiaoxi, the early matrix adjustment work was carried out.Behind them, other robots planted seeds.

Three months later, the first soybeans are ready to be harvested.

Satisfied with the fruits of his labor, Zhao Changxing closed the closed door of the soybean workshop and came to the rice workshop.

There is still some work to be finished here. It is estimated that in ten days or so, the rice workshop with an area of ​​300 square meters and an annual output of [-] tons of rice can be put into operation.

And now, almost five years have passed since Zhao Changxing came to Sedna Star.The children are now four years old.
