Voyage of the Stars

Chapter 18
It would be great if there were transport boats in the base. The engines of the transport boats could be dismantled and used to generate electricity. However, the transport boats were too big and could not be stuffed into the lower level of the base, so they were destroyed in the disaster.

"In this way, let's go back to the engineering department to draw up a plan and start working on it immediately after demonstrating its feasibility. I emphasize that extreme safety must be ensured." Yue Yuan saw that everyone thought this plan was feasible and there was no other better way, so he decided like this .

You can't hesitate at this time.

The emphasis on safety is because nuclear weapons are really dangerous, and if there is any problem, the entire base will be destroyed.

A group of people discussed one issue after another at the meeting, which lasted from [-] a.m. to [-] p.m. before the current top priorities were determined.

This is not a waste of time. As the saying goes, it is a waste of time to just rush in without a plan or plan.

Although the disaster struck suddenly, the Callisto base was not in disarray.

The original leadership team was also very weak, and coupled with Yue Yuan's vigorous and resolute actions during this extraordinary period, he firmly held power in his own hands, so that no major turmoil occurred in the entire base.

Against this background, the base issued a temporary decree on people's livelihood, and began to implement purchasing restrictions on food and various daily necessities.

Yes, there are purchase restrictions.

The relatively stable social structure of Callisto has prevented the original currency system from collapsing yet, and this mini-government takes its effectiveness as a matter of course.

Currency is electronic money.

Of course, the Callisto base does not have the right to issue currency, but it does have a banking system. Everyone living in the Callisto base will have data records in this branch.

Therefore, although the host is offline, this system can take on this temporary important task.

Time passed slowly as the survivors struggled to survive.

Various functional equipment have been turned on again with the cooperation of various departments. Production of daily necessities such as starch, fruits, vegetables, oil, and salt has resumed, while other scientific research equipment has temporarily gone dormant.

The rapid recovery of production capacity gave survivors hope.

The surviving humans gradually recovered in the base buried deep underground. Under the guidance of the Propaganda Department, the sadness of the destruction of the sun and the death of their compatriots transformed into the obsession for revenge and the motivation to survive.

Thousands of people wielded bows and shot a single move, and all of them hit the target.

When human beings unite and move towards a common goal, they can often burst out with amazing power, not to mention that most of these people have grown up in a good historical and cultural environment.

Under this situation, the people living underground like gophers were full of energy, waiting for the base's top management to announce that they were digging upwards.

Yue Yuan is very satisfied with people's mental state. With this energy, they can get through it no matter how difficult it is.

Time passes day by day.

The machines in the underground base started again, the motors roared again, and people once again joined the production team.

The radiation generator is also moving from design to assembly in an orderly manner, and from drawings to physical objects, slowly moving towards reality, fully preparing for the future energy transition of the base.

Many scientific experiment projects have been temporarily suspended, and scientific research equipment has temporarily stopped operating.There are many such types, such as various chemical experiments, materials research, drug research related to space calcium loss, biological space receptor experiments, various carrier catalytic research, and propulsion engineering research, etc.

The electricity released for this purpose is used to meet people's daily needs.

Life underground is boring, but because of it, everyone is holding back their breath, waiting to vent it out and have a big fight when they return to the surface.

But among so many people, there are always some exceptions.Ma Dongzhen is one of them. He is an ordinary second-generation rich man who lives a prosperous life and basically has everything he wants.After inheriting the family business, there are girls around him everywhere, but he is not interested in these girls.

It's not that he likes men, but that he is relatively single-minded in his affection.

When he was still in his junior year, he fell in love with a girl named Xu Yanshi and became very obsessed with her.However, Xu Yanshi paid little attention to him, even though he revealed the fact that he was very rich.

Ma Dongzhen feels that such a girl is very special, a girl worthy of his true love.That year, he and Xu Yanshi both graduated, Xu Yanshi was admitted to graduate school, and he returned to the family business to help.

This realistic separation was enough to make the love disappear, but Ma Dongzhen did not give up. He was still pursuing hard. Finally, this unremitting pursuit moved Xu Yanshi, who was about to graduate from graduate school.

In excitement, Ma Dongzhen planned to give Xu Yanshi a surprise at her graduation ceremony - a space rose.He knew that Xu Yanshi loved all kinds of rare animals and plants and aspired to become a great biodiversity researcher, so he planned to give Xu Yanshi a special gift that could express his love.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to use the power of money to find someone to cultivate a rose that grows in a vacuum environment. However, the cultivation garden of the space base does not allow anyone to grow whatever he plants. However, driven by money, Ma Dongzhen finally found a way. , a researcher from the Callisto Orbital Laboratory agreed to him.

However, because the Callisto base has very strict control over express delivery goods, such behavior of changing experimental planting without permission is likely to result in expulsion. In order to reduce the risk, the researcher asked him to pick it up himself, and he only agreed to pick it up from the laboratory. Take it out to him, and he will do everything else by himself.

It would be great to get it. The power of love made Ma Dongzhen naturally agree, and then set out on the road to Callisto on the grounds of trade negotiations. Unexpectedly, not long after arriving at the Callisto base, disaster struck.

Due to this incident, Ma Dongzhen lost everything. He had almost returned all his knowledge to the teacher after many years of graduation. He had no idea what he could do here. Fortunately, Callisto still used the original financial system, so that he was not ready yet. He was not penniless, but because he did not plan to stay here for a long time and did not open an account here, he was really penniless after spending all the cash on him.

He, who had always been pampered, suddenly fell into confusion in life.

He stared blankly at the people coming and going in the base with a dull expression. The old village chief Duishui in his hand was his last spiritual sustenance.

He unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took two more sips, still reluctant to finish it.

"Have you heard? The machinery company affiliated with the Engineering Department is recruiting people, saying it is preparing to return to the ground." Ma Dongzhen, who was a little confused, heard this sentence.

What does recruiting have to do with me?

Ma Dongzhen was not interested at all, but the conversation continued to reach his ears.

"That thing requires senior technicians, remote mechanical drivers, senior maintenance workers, etc. What does it have to do with you, an idle guy who only rests on his laurels?"

"Look what you said, was I just idle? I was getting ready to go, you know? I was just in the stage of gathering momentum!"

"Then what can you do? You don't know how to operate engineering robots, and you don't even know how to repair machinery. There is no place for you to move bricks even if you want to work hard. You think this is the beginning of the last century! How dare you go there without two brushes? When Callisto comes, you are brave and lucky to have a brother like me who has been taken advantage of."

"Who said there are no brick movers? Look at what this is."

"Remote sensing equipment installation technician? Oh, this thing is used to pull wired optical fibers. It does require laying various communication lines back to the ground, but it doesn't require much manpower."

"I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about this, mechanical maintenance apprentices. Apprentices don't need experience. I'm thinking that the base will definitely need to reform in the future. Even if the previous system is still used now, it will definitely change in the future. Think about it, the base There are so many people out there, do you think they would tolerate the existence of a worthless person?”

"So you're going to make yourself more valuable before then?"

"Brother Pao knows me! As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Instead of being passive in the future, it is better to work hard now."

"Having ambition is my best friend."
