MTL - I Found A Planet-Chapter 374 Identity

20x1 year, August.

Africa, Sahara Desert, within the dome of the 9th.

At noon.

Under a date palm tree covered with mature fruit, Zhang Xingyang put his head on his head, covered his face with a cloth cap and rested on a soft lawn.

But he didn't go to sleep, he was thinking about something.

Three years.

He has been here for three years, from 25 to 28 years old... His precious youth is spent here.

“Desert Free City, a free and open place, embracing unlimited possibilities.”

Zhang Xingyang, who worked in a restaurant a few years ago, accidentally heard this advertisement. After seeing the city under the giant transparent glass cover, his heart was shocked. I don’t know why, when the head suddenly became hot, I signed up here.

At that time, he was tired of the job in the restaurant. He was young and didn't want to work on the dishes in the kitchen and work in the kitchen. But he was not highly educated and had no skills. He could only do some low-level work.

Recruitment advertisements in the desert free city, the magnificent desert scenery, let him want to come and see.

Even if you stay in this desert forever, it is better than not seeing any hope.

just……

After the initial curiosity and excitement, now, he has some regrets in his heart.

dull.

This place is too boring.

Not much entertainment.

After the mobile phone is connected to the wifi satellite network, the network speed is still ok, and there are too many people in the back to make a card, and can only make calls and send text messages.

Of course, Huayao has sent people to come and promise to build a 5G network by the end of this year. By then, mobile phones will be able to experience high-speed Internet access and embrace the modern world.

Entertainment is only one aspect. There are many versatile people in the work team. The guitar is good, the dance is good, the acrobatics is awesome, all kinds of talents are there... including Zhang Xingyang, he also has a good cooking skill.

Those who will enjoy life will never feel bored and boring.

But the sense of loneliness is indeed real, and it always comes to everyone's heart.

People are brothers and sisters, and the moon is hometown.

The longer I stay here, the more I miss my friends and relatives, the more I miss my hometown... This is human nature.

Homesickness is second, after all, there is a phone call to play, if you miss too much, you can call back.

The most difficult thing to overcome is the incompatibility in life.

Less entertainment.

There are few shops and supermarkets.

There is no festive taste in the festival.

There is no New Year's celebration in Chinese New Year.

The main content of the day is work, and every corner is planted with lawns and green trees.

Living in such an environment, like boring learning, will lose a lot of happiness over time.

Even a retreat.

Zhang Xingyang heard a lot of complaints:

“It’s better to stay in the country, there is nothing here.”

"I regret it a bit. There are pressures in domestic development, but there are networks, express delivery, takeaways, and cinemas. Here are all built from scratch."

"The problem is that wages are not high. It is only 5,000 a month. No matter how much work you find in the country, it is no less than 5,000."

“Do you really want to stay in this place for a lifetime? Desert Free City, huh, freedom is not obviously felt, but loneliness is the first step.”

"I don't want to, don't Xinghai Technology send a woman to come over? We have more than 500,000 laborers in the base, less than one-tenth of women, most of them come with her husband, most of them are bachelors... Xinghai Technology can help Solving single problems?"

"Yeah, I am going to die! There is not even a fire-breathing place here."

Hearing this, Zhang Xingyang also had the urge to apply to leave or even escape.

Because he is not only a single, but also a virgin.

In this desert, which is a stove like this twelve months, many people are so moved that it is difficult to sleep.

There have even been some criminal incidents.

More than 100,000 workers have filed for leave, and because of the clause on the contract that “the city has not been completed, they have not left the post”, they have been rejected and subsequently turned into escape operations.

The labor force of the No. 9 Dome Base has a very low overall morale and a marked decline in work efficiency.

......

"People are social animals and an emotional creature."

“The working environment of the dome base is not too difficult. The robots have taken on the main heavy physical work, and the workers only have to undertake some simple tasks.”

“They didn’t feel happy because they were cut off from social ties, cultural ties, and emotional ties, just like being exiled to an island.”

"This situation is the same as the 18th century Chinese people's yearning for Europe. Even if the material is very rich, the spirit is very empty and the soul is very lonely."

"If this situation does not want to improve, the workers in the dome base will have a hard time feeling a sense of belonging to the place they are developing, but how to return."

“The workers who returned to countries such as z in the past six months have an average of more than 1,000 workers per month. Even if they have to pay a million yuan in breach of contract, they can’t stand the loneliness and they can’t break away from the cultural shackles. ""

Alice analyzed.

"Do you want to let go home and visit relatives?"

Chen Jin wrinkled his eyebrows. The problem is that some workers will definitely not come back. They will disappear without a trace, and they will face the problem of "no one is coming".

"Workers can't let go when they return home, and family members can visit in the past."

Chen Jin shook his head: "This has been implemented long ago, and the family members are reimbursed for ticket sales, but there are still many workers who want to leave."

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and pioneering is the hardest and hardest thing in everything. It has to endure the helplessness and loneliness that is far from home.

The ancients said that "the road is blue and the mountain," and its artistic conception can only feel the greatness when you engage in similar work.

Modern people are not good at food and clothing, and they are rich in recreational activities. They suddenly invested in the transformation of the desert and endured all kinds of inconveniences in life and spiritual temper. There are not many people who persisted.

Alice also found a solution to this problem.

“Master, we need to instill a sense of identity in the labor of every city.”

“Let them identify with the profession they are engaged in and identify the land under their feet.”

"More importantly, let them know who they are."

"There is no doubt that they are no longer Z or Southeast Asians. They have abandoned their nationality. Since they set foot on this desert, they are desert free city people belonging to the Earth Federation."

“They can say that they are citizens of the Free City, and they can be said to be citizens of the Earth.”

"Because every 1% of the free city tax is turned over to the Earth Federation, they call themselves a federal citizen of the Earth without problems."

"And in the Federal Parliament of the Earth, each free city has a representative seat and can actively participate in international affairs."

"300 free markets, that is 300 tickets... Free city will be a force to be reckoned with."

"Because of the power to speak and vote internationally, every citizen of the free city is equal to the citizens of any country. It is a member of a big family, and there is no need to feel lost and lonely."

"Once the identity is established, he has taken root and can overcome it with both hands and hard work no matter what difficulties he encounters."

"Because the land under their feet is their beautiful home."

Um~

Chen Jin nodded.

What Alice said is true. Once a person has an identity, it is equivalent to having a root and will no longer feel floating and confused.

It's like a job, and you can only do it when you agree with the profession.

So the establishment of the Earth Federation, to a considerable extent, solved the problem of the identity of the workers, so that they do not feel that they are refugees, labor immigrants, but federal citizens, is the owner of this desert!

......

Under the date palm tree.

Zhang Xingyang, who was upset by some thoughts, suddenly heard the voice of the radio:

"Workers who work hard, ww. Tell you a good news: the Earth Federation is established!"

"From today, you are a glorious global federal citizen. You will proudly open up this land that belongs to you as a planet citizen..."

"From today, please forget your respective origins and forget your race and color. In this free land, you are all equal. You have the same obligations and powers. You represent the planet civilization... ”

"Celebrate, celebrate, the new era is coming, to embrace the bright future!"

I heard this exciting broadcast.

Zhang Xingyang opened his eyes.

I took the cloth cap on my face.

He sat up and slowly stood up from the ground.

Looking around, in the dome base, hundreds of thousands of workers like him, also stood up, with a silky face on his face, sparkling in his eyes.
