Chapter 9 Boat

The day of the final has arrived. The finals are held in turn, and this time it is the turn of Alyosha District.The surrounding area of ​​the Alyosha Central Stadium was decorated early on.The whole square is dressed up as the earth in the romantic period, classical and luxurious.The game scene was full of jubilation, the dome showed the palace on the clouds and dancing angels, and the symphony music sounded in all directions.The roller skating teenagers took off from various high platforms, made fancy somersaults in the air, and waved around the field after landing, accepting waves of cheers.

The audience is excited.It is a privilege to be able to watch the finals live, and only the best players in each community can get this opportunity.All the children are looking forward to it, because the attraction is not only the competition, but also the big and small dances and parties after the competition, which is the best opportunity to meet other community teenagers.On this day, everyone was dressed up, the girls held their skirts and raised their necks, and the boys shook off the hem of their uniforms, posing in full style.Most of the children who couldn't come to the scene got together, gathered in their own community, bought snacks and drinks, and cheered for their partners remotely.

Backstage is also exciting.Jill was one of the last girls chosen to present the award.Backstage, she nervously looked in the mirror, asking the girls around her if her hair was messy and if the wreath on her head was crooked.The thought of walking in front of so many people in the dazzling light after a short stay made her palms sweat from nervousness.She has been reciting the procedure for playing, and from time to time she grabs Luo Ying and asks her to check if she has recited it correctly.There was chaos around them, girls putting on make-up, changing clothes, running around, screaming like "who saw my necklace" from time to time.Luo Ying could hardly hear Jier's voice.

"Why don't you put on makeup?" Jier asked Luo Ying. "It's already melted." Luo Ying said. "That's it?" Jier pulled Luo Ying's hands away in surprise. "That's it." Luo Ying smiled, "I'm just a chorus." Luo Ying wore a long white dress with no decorations from head to toe, except for an inconspicuous flower on the shoulder.Her hair was long and loose, with a gold thread on her forehead, without any braids.The eyebrows and eyes are almost unmodified, and the face is facing the sky.Jill found it incredible that it was so easy to play, but so rash.Luo Ying didn't explain much, she didn't say that her role was just to set off the atmosphere in the back row, and she didn't say that they needed to change their costumes quickly after the performance, so the simpler the dressing, the better.The second reason can't let Jill know anyway.

Today's drama is the third program.Luo Ying was not nervous at all.She feels that their performance today is not for anyone else, but to express themselves calmly.At this time, people will not be nervous. Their program followed the two opening songs and dances, and it was the first program of the official performance.While waiting for the stage, Luo Ying saw the dazzling stadium dome from the gap in the backstage, like a nebula deep in the universe.She stood among the Mercury cluster partners, and they didn't feel any nervousness, and no one said much, but occasionally whispered the trick to exit.It's time for them to play.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the most outstanding teenagers," said the deep voice of the host Minister of Education in the rain of fireworks, "...let us celebrate this feast of ideas together!... Creation is our glory!  … ..." The carnival begins and the drama begins. ※※※ All the lights were on Mira alone.He was wearing a worn-out brown shirt, a worn-out brown cap with a pointed top, and black wide-mouthed leather boots with big toes exposed. He was carrying a small cloth parcel with a small wooden stick, and he looked frustrated. scruffy look.He took two steps forward, two steps back, scratched his hair, and sighed into the air.

——I am a poor vagabond, with talents and dreams that no one understands. I once had a great ambition, but was shattered in the impact of reality.Oh universe, why are you so unfair to people?I was supposed to be a great cancer fighter and now I'm a perpetual bum.Oh what a mistake I made! The follow spot light illuminates the left side of the stage, illuminating the homeless man's first memory.Mira's first stand-in was obviously a new student, wearing a white shirt with a tight collar, standing excitedly next to a fat middle-aged man holding a document in both hands.The middle-aged man looks solemn and tall, and the students around him are respectful.

——Welcome to join our laboratory, our laboratory has the best history, and innovation is our relentless pursuit.Our aim is to constantly pursue new technical ideas and eternal truths, keep a smart, active and enterprising mind at all times, and strive to make our laboratories always be at the forefront of human exploration and always be outstanding! The voice of the black chorus resounded melodiously: It's great, it's great! — Sir, that is very kind, I agree with your words very much, and I think my work is very much in line with what you said. --Oh?What job? ——Look, I have optimized our production process!As soon as I came here, I carefully observed the flow chart, and added this feedback program here, which can cut the production time in half at once.

——Why do you do this? --Is it not good?In this way, our costs and prices can be reduced!Wouldn't it help us get our budget? —Silly boy, do you really think that the budget depends on this?What a ignorant person!Budgets are won by great declarations, don't you know?Don't do such useless little things if you have the energy, and put it on a magnificent blueprint! The voice of the black chorus came out again: Hey, it's great, it's great! The light on the left side dimmed, and the follow spot light on Mira's body came on again. He stepped on a small boat with wheels, pretending to be paddling hard, and complained to the world while paddling.

——Oh, I didn’t know at the time, the method I came up with has already been thought up by someone in the laboratory, but they didn’t say it, because the cost and price are high, the budget applied will be high, and it can be used for other things , such a simple truth, why didn't I think of it at the time?I only knew to announce the results, but I didn't expect to offend them, and they drove me to another continent in such a merciless manner!Oh, I am the most unfortunate person in the world!I must remember the lessons, stick to my ideals, and restart my life and career in the New World.

The boat flickered forward, across a starry sky, and slowly drove to the right side of the stage.The light on the right side came on, and Mira's second substitute put on a beautiful and shiny silver jumpsuit, with her hair standing up like a stylish hedgehog, standing next to another middle-aged man, like the previous student Also respectful, this time the middle-aged man's eyebrows and eyes are sharper, and his hair is polished and shiny. —Welcome, young man!We welcome all good ideas and improvements, which can help us bring more profits.Oh profit!The holiest term in the universe, you reflect the general welfare of humanity and society!We want more transactions, more negotiations, more contracts, more supplies to meet the needs of others, and we benefit ourselves and others! At this time, Luo Ying and her white singing team spoke for the first time: Oh, this is really wonderful! — Boss, that's very nice, I agree with your words very much, and I think my work is very much in line with what you said. --Oh?What job? ——Look, I have optimized our production process!I have carefully observed the company's flow chart and added this feedback program here, which can cut the production time in half at once. ——Oh, this is really great, the cost can be reduced a lot! —and the price! — No, the price remains the same. --what?Why?Doesn't the price cut make more people buy it? ——No, no, young man, do you think there is any relationship between the demand for cancer drugs and the price?Don't people buy it because of the high price?What an ignorant young man!Of course you can reduce costs, but don't interfere with our profits.Our profit is the utility of society!Let's try our best to reduce the cost, so that there will be 100% profit and social utility. The white singing team sang loudly: Oh, this is really wonderful! The lights on the right dimmed, and Mira appeared again, only this time he sat down, his clothes even more worn, and a rag was spread out in front of him, with broken glass scattered on it.He pretended to be selling, and told the audience while turning his head in all directions. ——When I saw them, I felt aggrieved in my heart. Their medicine could have been sold at one-eighth of the price, but they just refused, so I stole their medicine ingredients and production process, and started looking for someone myself Produced and sold much cheaper!It's not my fault either, is it?But I didn't expect them to be so narrow-minded. When they saw me snatching business, they became so angry that they didn't even let me set up a stall, which drove me around. Look, this piece of cloth is so torn!If I hadn't met a kind lawyer sister who took me in, I really don't know if I would have anything to eat! Mira turned her gaze to the center of the stage, and a beam of white light was cast from the zenith, illuminating a circular area. The rich woman played by Anita stood in the center, reflected by the light falling from the sky, looking very sacred.A third Mira double stood next to her. —I am a wretched widow, oh, my fate is so unfortunate that I have become a loner at a young age, and lost the support of life.My husband was a writer, a great, great writer, or at least I always believed so, but he died before he could make enough money, a heartless short-lived man, how could he leave me like this Alone? At this time, Anita turned to face Mira's double, this time the boy was wearing clean old clothes, eating white bread, and swallowed like he had been hungry for many days.Anita stroked his head pityingly. ——You said that you have improved the technology of the predecessors? ——Yes, I optimized the production process of my predecessors. ——Does the previous patentee agree to your change? —He must agree, why not?Only when his plan can be quoted can it continue to have vitality. How can you disagree? — Oh, that's very kind of you to say.What an amazing philosophy!You mentally solved my doubts and now I finally have a way out.Do you want to know my plan?it's actually really easy.I would like to propose the concept of dead people's copyright, living people can protect copyright, why can't dead people?I'm going to make me pay a fee to everyone who wants to analyze citations or mentions of my husband's work, and my husband will definitely agree, right?He can earn income even after death, which makes him have vitality even after death! The Baige team sang emotionally next to it without losing the opportunity: Oh, this is really wonderful! Next, a lot of people suddenly broke into the stage, shuttling up and down, Anita hugged the corpse doll, kept pressing fingerprints, signing contracts, and discussing business.Some people protested that they would stop analyzing his works for a fee. Anita gave them an idea with a blink of an eye, asking them to resell the authorization. Take it out for auction, and finally it can be turned into a copyright derivatives market, which is comparable to finance, and can make many people rich. The white chorus sang more and more happily: oh, oh, this is really wonderful! On the chaotic stage, Mira, like a little beggar, emerges from the crowd, empty-handed, forgotten by others, puts her little burden on her back, looks around in a daze, sees the lonely and empty boat again, and boards the boat again , paddled slowly and silently, and after a while returned to the mainland where he set out on the left side of the stage, Anita and others disappeared into the darkness. He came to a place like a small bar dejectedly, complained to a person beside him, and told what he had seen before.The man was very interested in what he had to say. —Wait, what did you just say? ——I said that my improvements and innovations were ignored. ——No, not this sentence, but those before. ——I said that they divide a piece of music into several chapters and sell the quotation rights separately, and they can earn a lot of money. They also advertise among music students. Students need to buy a lot of old people's products if they want to graduate. —Yes, yes, what a good idea.I can do the same.Divide an article into several articles, and cite your own results. Not only can the number of publications increase, but the citation rate can also increase. The laboratory director must be satisfied.Yes, it is also a good idea to advertise to students, so that all the students I tutor have to quote. I didn't think of this way.That's great, now my achievement ranking will definitely rise steadily, and it won't take long for me to become the youngest outstanding leader in the laboratory! The black chorus, which had been silent for a long time, finally showed its voice again: it's great, it's great! People around her are caught up in the vision of the future and narcissism, and Mira is ignored once again.He sighed, rowed back into the boat, and wandered between the two continents again, alone, aimless, and directionless.This time the rowing seemed extraordinarily long, without words, it took a lot of time to go from the left side of the stage to the right side of the stage, and there was silence. This time, there were still a lot of people gathered on the right side of the stage, a group of people surrounded a person, asking questions, asking questions.The man was overwhelmed by the question. When he saw Mira who was alone, he rolled his eyes and stepped forward to hold Mira's hand. — Young man, you come from another continent, don’t you?That's great.You are most just.Now these people suspect that the harmful elements in our company's mineral health products exceed the standard. They don't believe me no matter how I explain it. Please prove it and help me read the identification result to them. (in a low voice) They will believe what you say, and I will give you a hundred yuan if it works! The Baige team seemed to cooperate with him, and sang mysteriously in a low voice: Oh, this is really wonderful! Mira shook her head, as if she didn't understand what he said. ——You should directly announce the formula and testing methods.Why do you do this? ——how can that work?This is a commercial secret. ——It’s all public on our continent. ——No, no, what else to do if the business is made public? At this time, the people around heard what Mira said, and shouted loudly: Open, open!Investigate, investigate!They pushed Mira to the front, and rushed towards the building made of cardboard behind the man with their hands raised high, shouting slogans of transparency and revolution, scattering paper pieces like snowflakes flying all over the field, and the voices shouted Financial fraud!There is a tax problem!Mira stumbled from being bumped into by the crowd, and her clothes were even more tattered like a child in the jungle. At some point, two pieces of cardboard fell on her back, flickering left and right.Soon, the excited people raised a big banner with "Revolution" written on it, lifted Mira in their hands, and rushed to the empty space in the center of the stage, making a mess, people had no direction, and their voices were quickly drowned in the huge crowd. In the noise, I can no longer distinguish words and sentences, I only see some people running, and some people start fighting with others inexplicably.Mira was once again forgotten after falling on the hands of the crowd a few times.He flew up and floated into the air. Driven by the steel wire, two pieces of cardboard fluttered like wings, and he became Peter Pan on Never Island.A chasing light hit him like a lonely spot of light. After floating for a long time, he suddenly fell down.The audience let out a natural exclamation.But Meera didn't fall to the ground, but fell into an open net.He looked at both sides blankly, and saw two groups of serious figures standing on both sides.Under the headlights that were turned on in the audience, the audience discovered for the first time that this net had always been there, behind the boat Mira rowed, hidden in the depths of the stage. Mira sat in the net, as if sitting in a hammock, with a ignorant and innocent expression on her face.He stared blankly at the people on both sides, but those people didn't look at him.There is a leader on each side, as if negotiating, each with their necks raised, arguing silently.There is a huge balance between the two people, shaking from side to side, with many weights already placed on it.Negotiations were apparently at a deadlock. One party angrily added another weight to their own balance plate, and the balance tilted towards them, but the other party nonchalantly blew the weight they had just added to the ground, and the balance tilted back to the other side. side.The people on both sides disagreed with each other and seemed to fight, one leader stepped forward, calmly stopped the situation, and pointed to the other leader who was sitting on the net, Mira, who understood, nodded, without a smile on his face. Changing his expression, he walked to Mira's side, picked him up and threw him to the balance.Driven by the steel wire, Mira flipped two somersaults in the air and sat down on the balance tray with a plop. The balance suddenly tilted, stabilized, and stopped.Both sides on both sides laughed with great satisfaction, shook hands, patted the shoulders in a friendly way, and exchanged two sacks full of items. Then, for the first time, the black and white chorus sang together: "It's great, it's great, oh, it's wonderful!" This scene made the scene extremely quiet. Most of the audience watched quietly, still expecting the plot to continue. However, to everyone's disappointment, the plot suddenly took a turn for the worse. They swarmed up and ran in circles with the music like a group dance at the scene. After running two laps, they surrounded Mira, and then disappeared into the background with a thunderous speed, leaving behind the empty stage and the dumbfounded audience. . The play thus ended anticlimactically.The audience applauded sparsely.It's just that the actors didn't take it seriously, they didn't even show up for the curtain call, and the stage was quickly distracted by the upcoming performances and the exciting award presentation. The Mercury cluster quickly retreated to the backstage, passed through the noisy and crowded waiting actors and staff, took off their stage costumes, and left at a tacit speed. grid mine. As soon as she entered the mine, Luo Ying saw a broken ship lying in the middle, with its mouth open like a big hungry fish. ※※※ From the morning of the day, Juan had a feeling of restlessness. In the morning, he inspected the trial operation of the latest model of deformation fighter.The result is very satisfactory.This batch of fighters has been researched and developed for several years. After ups and downs and various failures in the middle, it can finally be mass-produced and formed. Juan has a kind of solidity in his heart, and then a kind of surging ambition.He has been silently preparing for this day for a long time, and only he himself knows the hard work during that time. In the morning, when the metal door of the flight center was slowly opened in front of him, he saw brand-new planes that were much more majestic than his were lined up neatly, like a row of tall and loyal warriors in armor. There was light shining in the shining, and there was an indescribable magnificence in his heart.He seemed to see a historical curtain opened in front of his eyes, silently, but it was about to be thrilling.He knew that in the history of mankind, no fleet could surpass the one in front of him.He has already begun to write history. After the inspection, he came to the monitoring center.Theoretically speaking, the monitoring of city operations does not belong to the scope of the flight system's responsibilities, but Juan insists on supporting a studio under the flight system to study higher performance and finer real-time monitoring. The purpose is very clear, for the future fleet cruise system Lay the foundation and lay technical support for possible reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance.Their monitoring center also has an entire room that can see the screens in every corner of the city, just like checking the control center of the system.It wasn't exactly institutional, but Juan used his position to maintain it. On this day, he always vaguely felt that there was some uneasiness. He found no problems during the inspection, and came to the monitoring center after the inspection. The newly invested bee-type electronic eyes are in trial operation, and there are clear images of various important places in the city.At first glance, there is nothing wrong with it, people are leisurely or busy, guarding their positions as usual.Juan silently examined the east, south, west, and north of the city.There are three transport planes taking off from the east of the city, and another mining ship is passing through Exit No. 12 in the south of the city. Juan's gaze suddenly became concentrated, and he quickly asked someone to enlarge the screen of Exit 12.He felt something was wrong.It is normal for mining ships to go out of the city. Various mining and research ships leave the city every day.But there is a certain detail that makes him feel strange, maybe because of the appearance of the mine ship, maybe because of the face of the young man talking in the picture. The screen is zoomed in, so close that the faces of both sides of the conversation can be seen clearly.Juan is very satisfied with the electronic eyes.He thought the boy on the screen looked familiar, but he wasn't sure when he had seen it.He was hesitating when he saw Luo Ying's face.She bowed her head and came out of the mine ship, stood next to the boy who had just spoken, and talked with the exit administrator with a sweet smile. "Turn on the monitor." He ordered in a low but clear voice. The researcher nodded and turned on the monitor. "We got it, thanks!" Juan only heard the end sound, Luoying's elegant and sweet voice echoed in the air in the control room, and then he saw them get back into the ship again, and the mining ship started to crawl slowly like an old clumsy dinosaur, passing through through the rising isolation gate. Juan immediately called Hans.He reported what he had seen in a crisp, serious voice. "You say you don't know about it?" "No, I don't know," said Hans. "Then do I need to investigate, or send someone to chase?" Hans thought for a moment, then said gently: "Not yet. I'll check it out, you wait for my news." Hans' profile picture disappeared from the screen, and to Juan's surprise Hans didn't show much surprise or nervousness.Juan sat in front of the console, resting his chin on his hand, frowning, feeling unknown and annoyed.He didn't know what reason these kids had to go out of town, he didn't care about that, what he cared about was poor enforcement of safety regulations.If this is an escape by private boat, it means that the city's protection is still very loose, too loose, and there are so many loopholes that can be easily breached.What kind of discipline and safety is this?He thumped the table, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. Wait for now.He looked at the command button on the table, wondering why Hans could be so dismissive. ※※※ For most adults on Mars, this day is just one of the more than three hundred days in a year that is uneventful.Although teenagers are immersed in the excitement that is on the verge of firing, busy adults are not infected by this air too much. The radio antenna arrays neatly arranged around the city are working tirelessly, and the data is continuously input into the storage center like silkworms weaving silk, and then flows through the computing center, weaving densely packed pictures, one by one in the researcher's file folder .Researchers are writing hard, racing against data.They urged themselves in their hearts to go fast, fast, and the important discoveries are in these data, so they should be dug out quickly.New instruments, new equipment and new methods brought them back to the old age, back to the pre-scientific period when the information was vast but complicated. They hoped in their hearts that they would have a pair of eyes, so they buried their heads even lower. The molecular assembly lines built around the city are working conscientiously, and the electrons pass through the microscopic tunnels carefully built for them one by one.Molecule and molecule waltz together, partners swapping back and forth.The engineer rests his chin on his hand and sits in front of the screen, not interested in sharing their joy.There are countless works on cybernetics, engineering management, and molecular theory in their file folders. If they want to master any of them, they have to study for several years without eating or drinking.They sighed in their hearts that they were born at the wrong time, and it was difficult to make major improvements, so they kept forging ahead and retreating, and studied food to relieve boredom in their free time. Urban decision-makers are also hard at work.The leaders of the nine major systems met frequently to discuss the biggest policy direction in the post-war history of Mars.With serious faces and full confidence and a sense of responsibility, they held up historical and carefully simulated future data maps and debated fiercely.New engineering projects are about to start, key technologies are at the forefront of breakthroughs, and top decisions are slowly emerging. On the farm, the cows are busy grazing, occasionally raising their heads, staring deeply at the sun outside the glass dome, shaking their heads sadly; No matter how excited you are, it's no surprise.Adapting is the trick of life, and they all know it. It was a peaceful day, the engineers were busy, the children were watching the game, and the teachers were watching the children.It's a great day to escape. Warren Sanghis is a Fellow at Land Systems.He is not very talented, not very ambitious, he just wants to get through his work, and he is not curious about the overall situation.This day was destined to be an extraordinary day for him.This is the day when he is on duty to guard the entrance and exit of the mine ship. It is the first time that he has successfully dated the girl Martha he has admired for a long time, and it will also be the first time that he will be punished for his negligence.When he pressed the button to open the three sealed city gates, he didn't expect the consequences of this small action.He only thought about the girl in the house and forgot everything outside the house. ※※※ The mine boat drifted slowly over the yellow sand, and the boat was filled with a strong smell of food. This is an early mining ship that is almost decommissioned. The khaki hull looks like a moving sand dune.In the golden age of post-war construction, it and its comrades made indelible contributions, and less than half of the heavy metal in the city came from their iron tongs.At that time, the mining ship often had to work for several days at a time, so the bulkheads were as thick as a small castle, and the cabins were equipped with kitchens and toilets. Although the facilities were simple, they were meticulous and thoughtful. The cabin is now a banquet hall.The structure inside the cabin is disassembled into fragments, and the space is open, with a clear view of the front and rear.The iron frame used to fix the instruments was removed and placed horizontally on the ground, the crew bedroom was removed, and the room partition was laid on top of the iron frame to form two large tables.The satin tablecloth with long tassels was originally a curtain for booths at the Earth Fair, and it has been piled unattended in the exhibition center since the show ended.There are various colors on the table, and each plate comes from a different family and has different shapes and patterns.Those who did not bring plates brought kitchen knives, wine glasses, and seasoning jars. The hodgepodge was piled up together, brightly colored and crowded, like a big circus performing arts.Long Ge stole an internship permit, and only wanted to borrow it secretly and return it secretly. There was an uproar in the cabin.The booing and laughter came one after another.The wine bottles collided with each other, and the jingle was crisp, and the crackling bubbles jumped in the glass.The liquid occasionally spilled onto the tablecloth, blooming into a flower. When Aina brought the last dish to the table and announced the start of the luncheon, five or six bottles of Gio wine had already been consumed.The boys cheered and got up, cleared up the game of cards, packed up the wine bottles, and quickly organized the dining table in a serious manner. "Ulla!" A circle of glasses was lifted overhead, rising and falling like a sea tide.
