Chapter 13: Happy and busy

"I warn you! Big liar, stay away from me!"

At the radioactive mineral collection point, more than one hundred people are busy, several fully CNC excavators are constantly drilling downwards, and several construction sites are laying recommended ground tracks inwards. In fact, more than one hundred people are busy on the surface, and inside, at least nearly a thousand people are busy. This is a large construction site!

At present, there are more than 120,000 people in Hope No. 1, and no one can be found. Not only that, those full-load service industries or security industries such as patrol generally start laying off employees, bringing their employees back to normal levels. The laid-off employees are immediately recruited to several major plans currently under implementation by Hope No.

In the plain area not far from Hope, this is the radioactive mineral collection point. It relies on artificial technology to dig downwards, and then use a radio detector to find the radioactive minerals inside it. Here alone requires nearly 5,000 employees, not only technical staff and engineers, but also because of the 24-hour shift, 5,000 employees are indispensable.

After all, this is not the Earth, or the breathable atmosphere like a desert planet, but is operating outside the universe, or on an asteroid with only one-twelfth of the gravity of the Earth. This physical exhaustion is a lot. From the eight-hour three-shift system in human industry, it has become the existing five-shift system, which has solved the personnel arrangements of this construction site.

Of course, because more than 5,000 staff members are already a huge base, most of which are workers from all over the world, even engineers and technical workers, and insiders are basically from different countries. They may speak English, Chinese, Russian, Japanese, etc. In short, in this case, it is very important to know the translator of multiple languages, and each shift is equipped with several people.

In addition to the translation talents, there are also a considerable number of soldiers who are responsible for emergency security work. In addition, they transport various materials along the way, such as simply replacing oxygen cylinders in a vacuum environment that was only invented in 2023, or transporting the excavated radioactive minerals back to Hope. The work is also very heavy, not just standing there.

However, Feng Xiaocheng was very depressed to find that there was a soldier standing there and being stupid... a big liar named Jie Weili!

Jie Weili followed Feng Xiaocheng, and he laughed and said, "This is my job, followed by you, the most precious translation talent. I have read your resume. I can speak and write eight languages ​​at a young age, and there are several languages ​​in the process of studying. You can…"

Feng Xiaocheng screamed loudly like a wild cat with a tail stepped on it: "You, have you read my resume!?"

Jie Weili nodded in confusion and said, "I am an officer, and you are the chief translator in this team. Of course I can read your..."

Feng Xiaocheng finally couldn't bear it. He jumped towards Jie Weili with a big step, and was about to kick Jie Weili. However, she tried too much and forgot in desperation that this was the surface of the asteroid, and the gravity was only one-twelveth of the earth. After the jump, she jumped up, and then she screamed and crossed over Jie Weili's head.

Jie Weili sighed and reached out and grabbed Feng Xiaocheng's thigh firmly. However, the gravity environment here is like this, so even if he added his weight, the two fell several meters away, and then they landed at the same time.

"Are you an idiot? Have you not recorded the contents of the safety regulations clearly? Well, you can write your resignation application immediately and go back and memorize the safety regulations for me before talking about it!" Jie Weili became angry as soon as he stood up, and he almost roared loudly.

But she didn't expect that Feng Xiaocheng would cry suddenly. She pushed Jie Weili away and cried loudly, "I don't want you to teach you, who do you think you are! A big liar, I don't want you to teach you! You also read my resume. Do you understand privacy? Stay away from me! Go find those blonde beauties you have, don't worry about me!"

"I'll tell you, you idiot woman..."

The entanglement between these two people was seen by hundreds of people not far away. They were smiling kindly. The two young couples were having a quarrel. This is not rare in the open Western world, and there is nothing worth watching or discussing. In fact, such a scene often makes people smile. After all, when they are drifting and struggling in the universe, such a scene full of human joy always makes people feel relaxed.

At the same time, in a restaurant somewhere in Hope, Zhang Heng was eating ham rice bowls. Among the side dishes next to him were two prawns and some refreshing vegetables, and a bright red apple was placed there, which was obviously a fruit after meals. This meal was already very luxurious. Ordinary working people could only enjoy it two or three times a month.

Sitting opposite Zhang Heng were two beauties, Bai Ningxue and Luo Maomiao. They both looked at Zhang Heng with a smile and swallowed them there. It was not until after a long time that Zhang Heng raised his head, and then he saw the smiles of the two. He blushed and said, "Sorry, I'm so hungry. I've been busy all day and finally took a break. Now I'm so hungry."

Both beauties shook their heads, and Bai Ningxue asked, "Are you so tired at work? How about changing to a more relaxed person?"

Zhang Heng smiled and shook his head and said, "How can it be changed? Among the new humans, the predictors have confirmed that there are three people, but the other two people's predictive sensing is not as effective as me. They are almost 100% sensitive. You must know that my work is very important. The underground hole is being transformed into a temporary residential area. However, the hole is excavated and devoured by alien plants. No one knows whether it is strong inside or whether a collapse event will occur. This requires me to identify and detect it one by one."

"This is my job. I look around for areas that may cause danger, have a premonition in advance, and then carry out reinforcement of fortifications there. This can be said to be a very important task. The other two new humans are sometimes not effective. This is the most dangerous thing. This is the job that only I can do!"

When Zhang Heng said this, although his tone was a complaining statement, his expression was full of pride and pride, and he was a kind of pride and pride with some masculine taste, which was a bit like no other than me.

The key point to know what the difference between a man and a boy is this temperament, a mature temperament with a sense of responsibility and burden.

In a vague way, Zhang Heng was wearing this temperament at this moment, and Bai Ningxue and Luo Maomiao obviously felt it. They both felt that their hearts were pounding, and an indescribable smell surrounded them.

After Zhang Heng said this, he felt a little embarrassed even. He scratched his head and said, "By the way, don't talk about me, what about you? How is your recent academic situation?"

After hearing this, Bai Ningxue and Luo Maomiao both curled their lips. Bai Ningxue said, "What else can you do? Let's just live a day, but our professor is very interesting. He proposed in class several times that the Hope Government is simply too slutty. All departments have been established, but they actually forgot the Ministry of Education, saying that what to continue human civilization is the first thing is education. Now that they forget the Ministry of Education, this is simply self-destruction..."

The three of them talked and laughed about the interesting things they had recently. They were of the same age and had common experiences, and even had almost the same previous life experiences, so naturally there were many topics. Gradually, the three young people all smiled.

At the other end of the restaurant, at a large table filled with middle-aged people and seven or eight young people, they were all eating voraciously, while picking up the canned beer on the table and taking a sip. Everyone present had a satisfied smile on their faces.

"well."

A middle-aged man finished drinking all the beer in his hand. This was a white man. He sighed and said generously: "This is the fucking life! Every day, when he worked until he was tired, and then when he returned home, he had his wife and children, beer and food. If he could have movies and TV, then this life would be so beautiful."

This is a group of employees who have just been out of work. They returned to Hope from the asteroid. Due to the significant increase in wages and the employees whom they met, they suggested that they have a casual meal together. At the same time, they drank beer that they had not touched for a long time, and even bought cigarettes. Everyone could smoke a cigarette after meals. Everyone present showed that satisfied expression.

"It's nearly 500 human coins a month, and during work, I'm also giving some luxury goods, beer and cigarettes. This kind of life is really good." Another young man next to me sighed with satisfaction.

"Yes." The white man just now lit a cigarette, took a sip, and then said: "I am a technical staff member, so I know some data. I can tell you, now is a good situation that all our passengers of Hope can encounter in a century. Here, in this star field, a large amount of supplies exist, and their abundance is even higher than that of the earth, and a large number of jobs. Do you know the rapid development of Hope can be? Before that, when Hope can be drifted in the void of the universe, I woke up several times in my sleep..."

"We are too lonely, too lonely, too dangerous. This big universe is not suitable for the entry of our existing technology. Do you know? What a lucky thing to find such a star field with a large number of abundant minerals. You can obtain materials, transform the Hope, build more cabin territory, give more jobs, and give more benefits..."

The big white man took a deep breath of smoke. The smoke filled his solemn face. Only his voice could be heard saying, "I have a child, I am only six years old. I am really afraid that he will die before he grows up. But now I am not worried at all. Looking at the busy scene of Hope now, I thank God in my heart every time..."

"We humans can survive and develop in the universe..."
