Beneath Deep Space

Chapter 34 Party

In the blink of an eye, 100 days have passed. This day is a festive day for the people in the entire base. Everyone is full of smiles, receiving new clothes issued by the government, holding sufficient food, including rice and various vegetables, and even a little meat!

Today is also the day when the agricultural transformation plan is officially completed. The production results are better than expected. In 100 days, humans have obtained a total of 25,000 tons of staple food and more than 30,000 tons of vegetables, enough for the entire base to eat for three years.

As for the meat distributed, it is basically chicken. Fast-growing chickens can usually be slaughtered in more than 40 days. Although they are all fed with vegetables and are relatively thin, it is better to have meat than nothing. For people nowadays, meat products are already considered valuables.

The workers smiled one by one. Compared with high-energy compressed food, eating a delicious meal of rice is such a luxury. From now on, they can eat rice every day!

In order to celebrate this huge harvest, a grand party was held in the base. Miners and manufacturers also participated in the event. Of course, the necessary staff who stayed behind still had to be there, but they could be divided into shifts for rest and entertainment to ensure that everyone participated.

The food for the party was not complicated, including glutinous rice balls, steamed buns, dumplings, steamed cakes, etc. There were all kinds of things, and it was in the form of a buffet, with no limit on quantity, so everyone could eat as much as they wanted.

Of course, if you are not used to Chinese food, there are also Western food, sandwiches and toast to choose from, but the variety is a little less.

This party is poorer than any other party on Earth, because people do not have so many supplies. But for everyone, this party is already very satisfying, and they also know the current situation of the base and can no longer ask for more.

When they think that it will be better in the future and there will be more abundant meals, their hearts are full of expectations.

The base management took out almost all the food in stock, including cigarettes, alcohol, sugar, various beverages, and various frozen meats, etc. These luxury goods were originally only enjoyed by the original senior leaders of the base. Some were left after the explosion of the earth. This time, they were all taken out.

These luxury goods will not be enjoyed for a long time after they are used up. Although Noah also has an ecological park, which is even larger, it will take a year or two for the new seeds to be sown.

For these luxury goods, there is definitely no unlimited supply. Everyone has a fixed amount. Only after swiping the identity card once can you get one. Of course, various staple foods and vegetables can be tasted and enjoyed at will.

Thanks to the existence of biological laboratories, humans have preserved a large number of different species of organisms. Otherwise, people's food will always be just a few things, which is too miserable. But now, people do not have the energy to cultivate these things on a large scale.

For example, some seafood and shellfish, there are some living specimens in the biological laboratory, but where is the sea water now? There is no condition for cultivation at all. We can only provide them well and look forward to the development of technology in the future, and then cultivate them on a large scale.

There are also some freshwater fish that are now being raised. After the food transformation is completed, there will finally be enough food to feed them. It is estimated that they will mature in one year.

There are also pigs, sheep, and cows. The reproductive capacity of these animals is still not as good as that of chickens, ducks, and fish. They can only be slaughtered after their populations are slowly expanded. It will take at least several years.

However, if there is no biological laboratory, the species is likely to be extinct. With the current technology of human beings, there is no way to revive them... This is really a big pity. For foodies, there are fewer things to eat.

At six o'clock in the evening, the large-scale party officially began. There is no special routine, and even the host is not very professional, but people are still very much looking forward to it. After three months of crazy busyness, people need a night of rest and a night of release.

The host came on stage and said a few sensational words casually, and then there were various talent shows.

These people have been selected through auditions, and the quality is pretty good. The organizers can't let people who cry and howl like ghosts and wolves and are tone-deaf come up. Of course, because people had no time to rehearse, it was impossible to compare with those regular programs in terms of formality and professionalism, but it won because of the participation of all people!

Some people sang world-famous pop songs, some people performed a dance, and some people performed magic. The scene was very hot, and there were many talented people who won warm applause.

"Country roads... take me home... To the place... I belong..." A girl came on stage and sang a song from her hometown, which made people shed tears secretly.

People remembered the days when order collapsed, the horror of insufficient food in the base, and even the hometown that they could never return to. How could they not be sad...

Some people sobbed softly, their hometown, their relatives, they were gone, all gone, and they would never see them again.

But we who are alive still have to live... The atmosphere in the venue was a little depressing for a while.

At this time, two young men came on stage, one played guitar and the other sang. The song might be composed by themselves, and the lyrics were adapted from "Saints" in "Legend of the Galactic Heroes":

"We are saints, dear sir.

In the journey of pursuing the distant future, we are determined.

Perhaps we have to climb over the blue mountains with snow at the end of the world,

or cross the moody sea.

With a heart like a saint, we are in danger.

Comfort and smooth roads have never been strangers to us.

The soul spreads its wings to face the unknown,

and courage is by our side to pursue the thrill.

We have experienced the cold and warmth, hunger and thirst.

Then live to meet the next dawn and challenge.

Only in this way can we find inner peace.

Only in this way can we tell everyone wisely:

'I once looked down on all living beings from the most distant mountain top,

and I got perfection and enlightenment there. I practiced it myself and experienced the cold and warmth, hunger and thirst.

Then live to meet the next dawn and challenge.

Finally, I found inner peace. ’

I will tell everyone wisely:

'I once looked down on all living beings from the most distant mountain top,

and I got perfection and enlightenment there. It is the real enlightenment in the depths of my soul.

That is the whole meaning of my life.

It is also my choice from the bottom of my heart!

Our journey is the sea of ​​stars! '"

Obviously, this is neither pop music nor classical music. It should be the music composed by the two young men themselves. There is still a hint of immaturity in it, but it feels particularly real.

Humanity, there is never a lack of warriors. The great fear of being on the verge of death at any time, the endless darkness in the depths of despair, what is it compared to the exploration in the heart?

Faced with the endless unknown, humans are curious and fearful. People stand on tiptoe, trembling with their hearts, mustering up their fighting spirit, and marching towards the endless darkness. Who is not afraid of death? But humans, there are always such warriors!

Peng Jiamu who disappeared in Lop Nur, Fawcett who was swallowed by the unknown jungle, Franklin who was trapped in the Arctic... One failure after another cannot wipe out the ambitions of mankind, because they are the greatest warriors of mankind!

And now, people are about to face the biggest challenge in history, that is the starry sky! Whether forced or voluntary, fear or excitement, trembling or curiosity, people will begin to challenge - the height of the starry sky!

"Starry sky, here we come! "After the two finished singing, they shouted something with a sense of unfulfilled desire, which unexpectedly resonated with many people.

Humanity today is like a baby who has not yet left his cradle, but his mother is gone, and the child must be strong on his own... otherwise, it will be a cold death.

"Stars, sea, we are here!"
