Chapter 42: The Beginning of the New Year

Time passed day by day, it was the last day of the first year of the new human calendar, after finishing the last day of labor, people would get a small holiday of up to five days.

Of course, some necessary departmental posts, such as hospitals, electricity departments, military, etc. are still on duty. But these departments take the form of shifts, individual staff according to the schedule can take turns to rest.

At present, the Noah more than 50,000 people are almost all transferred to the place, no longer find any one standby, a large number of positions are still short of staff. Scientists are preparing to use intelligent robots to replace these shortages of staff positions.

Like some chef ah, cleaners and other positions almost disappeared, replaced by a machine. A dish according to the program, each process is accurate to the second, although that is not as good as the chef extraordinaire, but than the average chef can be said to be more than enough ... {Note: there are already such a machine, the specific please Baidu yourself.}

Because of the shortage of population, there are some positions even prisoners are also arranged in, they also have a certain salary pay, better performance, but also can reduce the sentence. This is a great opportunity for some people who want to repent and reform.

However, their freedom remains restricted until their sentence is completed, and they can only move and work in a small area.

The 50,000 ordinary people on the Noah could be said to be completely united after all they had been through, and they were extraordinarily looking forward to the first year they had spent, and there was a sense of joy and happiness.

After work, people happily lit up the neon lights and hung small gifts on the Christmas tree to add to the New Year's atmosphere.

Asians put up couplets and banners on both sides of the front door, and Europeans and Americans each live the custom of New Year's Day. They are singing hymns, praying, blessing and confessing in the streets, and some are hugging and greeting each other ...

In short, this year has a feeling of mixing East and West, and perhaps it will evolve into a new culture in the future, a unique culture belonging to new human beings.

At 6pm, both singles and families attended a big party. This party was organized by private citizens themselves, with wine and food, without too much ceremony.

People enjoyed Christmas Eve while they could sing and dance on the stage, so it was a good time.

"... one glass to the homeland, one glass to the far away ... one glass to freedom, one glass to death ..." Oliver was forced onto the stage, sang a song, took another glass of wine and toasted all the people.

"This glass of wine, one to all of you here, and two to the fallen warriors.

Thank you all for your hard work throughout the year. And thank you to those who have given their lives for our tomorrow ...

Well, finally, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and all the best!"

Oliver briefly said a few words and greeted the entire population, he felt a little tongue-tied and dizzy, he should be a little drunk!

It is also true, so many business leaders, so many authorities, one can not be left behind, one by one to accompany the past, or high white wine. And Wade, James, the group of guys, deliberately deadly screw him, can survive until now is also considered good. Even if he is super human, he can't hold on any longer.

Oliver only thought of going back to the dormitory, sleep a big sleep before ...

Also in the New Year's day, the public entertainment facilities that people are looking forward to finally opened, such as: large libraries, Internet cafes, gymnasiums, gyms and so on, adding a large number of entertainment facilities for humans.

From now on, the Noah will implement the "six off" work system, every six days of work, we will get a day of rest. This system has been warmly welcomed by everyone.

At 7:30 p.m., after the party, some people had too much to drink and had to go back to the dormitory to rest, while the rest of the people flocked to various entertainment venues.

"Sawyer, go to the Internet cafe to have fun? It's not expensive, 1 SGD an hour." Tucker WU took a cigarette and smoked it comfortably. Because of the New Year, the prices of these luxury goods were all discounted, so finally they could afford to spend.

"Ahem!" Tucker WU was a little uncomfortable because he hadn't smoked for a long time, so he choked and coughed.

But he still insisted on smoking it, even with the discount, it was still S$1 a piece, too expensive to waste.

His good friend Sawyer was also lucky enough not to hang up on the Mars virus, and his girlfriend Victoria did not hang up either. In this way, the relationship between the two people instead went further, and now they are living together, not knowing when they will get married.

"Going to an Internet cafe, huh?" Sawyer awkwardly scratched his head, feeling a little sorry for his best friend, stammered, "... I promised Victoria that tonight ..."

"Forget it, I won't bother you ..."

Tucker WU understood as soon as he heard it, said in a no-nonsense way and waved his hand, really a guy who forgot his friends when he saw them ...

Sawyer left, and now Tucker WU was left alone again.

Suddenly empty, he had a feeling of being overwhelmed. He felt that he was like a wind-up machine, busy all the time, and suddenly stopped, but a little unable to adapt, which is also the feeling of many people.

Either, back to work? The project in hand is not yet finished?

Tucker WU laughed at the idea. When did he become such a workaholic ...

It's true, he really seems to have a tendency to become a workaholic ... Whenever he makes a research result, he has a sense of joy and achievement from the bottom of his heart.

This sense of joy and achievement came up, what laborious ah, fatigue ah are ignored, cool a mess, he felt what kind of payment is worth it.

This feeling of single-handedly promoting the progress of civilization is really too good and too great to stop.

No... are all signs of becoming workaholics, and there are plenty of people who work overtime every day. If not for the government's regulations on the latest overtime hours, it is estimated that some people can work through the night every day until they can't hold on.

This feverish passion for work has become a kind of atmosphere, which has influenced everyone implicitly.

This influence is very far-reaching, because all jobs nowadays require creativity. Mechanized jobs are almost always replaced by robots.

Creative work is generally very difficult, but the more difficult it is, the more people are challenged. Because there is something difficult to do, it is cool to do and the sense of achievement is great ... The moment it is finished, it is really like sucking d.u.

Tucker WU shook his head and said to himself, "Damn ... when did humans become so diligent?"

In his impression, humans are still a lazy creature ah, when did they become so hardworking?

It's really too strange, when did this kind of atmosphere appear?

He sat by the corner, picked up another cigarette and smoked it. He began to think quietly, perhaps because of a little wine, he felt his mind extra spontaneous.

Humanity has experienced too much in this year, one big project after another, one life and death crisis after another, giving everyone a strong cohesion and centripetal force.

From the beginning of the earth explosion, to the food crisis, to the moon and earth collision crisis, and then to the Mars virus crisis, each time is the level of extinction, the human ... is still not survived?

Now, many ordinary people have also known the original moon and earth collision crisis, although they are a little afraid, but did not blame the government at the time to conceal the truth.

After all, they all escaped from the sky, all survived. People know that if the government had directly told them the truth at that time, instead of bad, instead of some people will despair, will collapse ...

After so many things, the credibility of the new government is really strong, basically no one has too much opinion about the new government.

What the government says, people basically believe unconditionally, and no one is gibbering. In addition, Prime Minister Oliver's loyal followers are too many, which makes the government's execution very strong, an order down, people can support the implementation.

Tucker WU himself believes that the current government is clean, fair and efficient, the most in history, there is nothing to criticize.

Mr. Oliver is the best choice for the Prime Minister's seat. If someone jumps out and says so-and-so is more suitable to be Prime Minister, then this person is either crazy or stupid, Tucker WU guarantees a spittle over, and I believe many people think so too.

For this phenomenon of personal worship, Tucker WU thinks there is nothing wrong with it, no matter what, it is better than worshipping singers and actors, right?

The human race is in such a dangerous situation, and if we are not careful, we will all perish. In this critical time, we should worship the wise and the strong.

Only the strongest with wisdom can lead humanity out of a living road ...
