Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

The era is never wrong, because it is the product of human survival!

4:09 am

Bernal quietly put down the bottle of wine in his hand, and closed his eyes slightly tiredly. Over the years, he has been to other Mars bases in circles, and Bernal has seen too much helplessness and sadness.

The culprit that caused all this is the era when the ecosystem was established decades ago and then stopped. After a series of failed changes, the Mars base finally stagnated completely.

Over the years, Bernal has often communicated with base directors and legislators from other Mars bases. Everyone feels desperate about the current predicament that they cannot move forward.

Base 66 has the best life among all Mars bases. Because of Gabriel's selfless efforts and dedication over the years, the people here naturally accept selfless dedication and know how to share everything at hand.

But everything has an end, and Bernal knew that he must not hesitate now. Once he hesitated, the Mars base would collapse.

Bernal knows very well what will happen next. The 70 Mars bases will undergo earth-shaking changes. Such changes will be unexpected.

"Mr. Bernal, the director of Base 31 will be here in a few days."

A female voice came from behind Bernal. He turned his head and looked at the cold woman behind him. She stared at Bernal seriously.

"Shirley, aren't you asleep yet?"

Bernal turned around, and Shirley hummed. She walked slowly to Bernal's side and took out a tablet. The call status was still on the computer page, and the signal was not very good.

Still trying to connect and having to wait for a while, Bernal stared at the screen quietly, holding a wine glass in his hand.

The reason why I made up my mind started two years ago. When I was negotiating with Asgard about the visit two years ago, due to some technical problems, they were unable to sail long distances, and mixed high-speed The question of mass-energy fuel.

But these problems were ridiculous to the people of Asgard. In the end, Asgard provided the synthesis method of mixing high-mass energy fuel, as well as the chemical molecular formula, and they finally succeeded in sending the spacecraft into the distance. Some in space.

This seems a bit unbearable to Bernal. Obviously there are a lot of resources on Mars, and compared with past human societies, these resources are completely enough for people on Mars to conduct various experiments and research. However, the technological level has remained stagnant.

After discussing with some young legislators and base directors, everyone unanimously decided that the existing Mars bases must be connected to have a future.

Such separate and independent small societies are no longer as self-sufficient as before.

If you don't proactively seek change, everything will end.

All kinds of chaos are happening in those bases whose technology and production capacity can no longer keep up with demand.

These things are invisible to most people in Mars Base 66, and they are also issues that Gable has been unwilling to face for so many years.

Many weak Mars bases pinned their hopes on Mars Base 66, but Gable did not make any changes. Bernal thought that the worst case scenario would be a war.

This is what Bernal least wants to see. War is very likely to break out if no changes are made.

The change started a few years ago, and eventually more and more people joined in. Now all those involved in the change just want to unify their voices as soon as possible.

"Although I'm a little sorry for Ike, this is all I can do."

Bernal said as the phone was connected.

"First of all, congratulations to you, Mr. Bernal. You should become the acting base director tomorrow, and in next year's election, you will officially become the base director."

An old voice came.

"Mr. Ge Pei, thank you for your strong support."

Bernal said, and a burst of hearty laughter came from the phone.

"But it's hard for me to believe that you can make such a decision. After all, he is your mentor, isn't he?"

Bernal hummed.

"Teacher is still as always, insisting on a utopian society, but when it all collapses, everything will change drastically. I can't let Teacher go on like this anymore. It's time to see the reality clearly."

"Let's have a nice drink in a few days. I'm old and it's time to sleep."

"Good night, Mr. Grape!"

Bernal raised his head tiredly as he spoke. The reason why he chose to launch the change at this point in time was because the main core members of the 70 bases had visited Asgard, and there was a vacuum in power in a short period of time. Imbalanced rights are easy to pry.

Especially those who were still wavering before changed sides in an instant. Finally, in this atmosphere, changes were launched, and all those who still planned to maintain the status quo were kicked off the stage of power.

Especially those in power in those old and backward bases agreed to everything unconditionally.

In the future, roads that can connect all base stations will be built in a very short period of time, and then industrial and agricultural technology will be divided according to the conditions in each base.

A blueprint for the future has emerged in Bernal's mind. The future is an era of rapid development. If you want to move forward quickly, you must give up some things.

"Someone is here, Mr. Bernal."

Bernal stood up with a smile and walked slowly to the door. After opening the door, standing at the door was Captain Lloyd of the guard.

"congratulations!"

Lloyd extended his hand enthusiastically, and Bernard said thank you and held Lloyd's hand.

"Ike and Xiaoyu don't know anything yet!"

Lloyd said, and Bernard smiled.

"It's okay if you don't know anything. In the next few days, don't announce any news for the time being. Although it is a bit inappropriate, I hope."

Lloyd hummed.

"I've taken Mr. Gable to the Guard."

"How is he?"

Lloyd sighed helplessly.

"I have already fallen asleep. It seems that I already know everything. I should be able to accept everything calmly."

"That's good. I've worked hard for you these past few years."

Lloyd smiled bitterly.

"I can't help it. I've had enough of this endless life."

Bernal turned around and took Lloyd to the living room, poured him a glass of wine, and the two drank a sip.

"It only takes a few days, and after a few days, people should accept everything."

Bernard said, and Lloyd nodded.

"They may hate you for the rest of their lives, and so will I."

"Who knows!"
