Chapter 2 The Future?

"Mr. Ike, we will support you in the next parliamentary election!"

A street full of metal houses, all filled with mechanical products being manufactured, this is a mechanical manufacturing street, all of which are occupied by mechanical engineers.

The mechanical items in Mars Base No. 66 are all produced on this street, ranging from some large vehicles on the surface of Mars to some small mechanical products in life, all of which are produced here.

Ike walked towards a group of engineers with a smile on his face and talked to them.

Each base on Mars basically adopts a system of joint production, and the development decision is made by the parliament members elected by the people in the base.

Each Mars base has 10 parliament members, plus the base chief, a total of 11 people with decision-making power, each with one vote, and the base chief has two votes.

Now that Fila's parents are going to Asgard on behalf of the base, the two vacant parliamentary positions need to be selected in a new round, generally for a term of four years, and Ike is currently the most popular candidate.

Because Ike is the son of the base chief and the younger brother of one of the councilors, all those who supported the base chief and Fila's parents in the past turned to Ike.

However, there are also many voices against Ike, because Ike wants to implement a monetary system in Base 66, which makes many people dissatisfied.

On the Mars base, there has been a system of joint production since a long time ago, which has continued to this day.

Everyone is born to serve the base. The base will cultivate talents in any aspect that is lacking, and all outputs need to be supplied to the base unconditionally and are allocated by the parliament.

Although such a system will have lazy people, if they do not participate in any base work and cannot provide any output, they will be included in the base's key education list and will be forced to work until they can participate in labor output normally.

Now all families' backyards are their own planting fields, and food can be self-sufficient, and the fields are all taken care of by robots.

The most important job for people is to maintain the base, which is a necessary guarantee for people to survive on Mars. Some high-precision technical work robots are not competent and can only be replaced by humans.

Although it is possible to create a corresponding mechanical production factory, this is prohibited in all bases. Industrial production will emit a large amount of waste gas, consume a lot of energy, and seriously damage the human ecosystem.

Although the resources on Mars are endless for existing humans, the painful experience of only 70 bases left in the past 200 years has made many people realize that once the human living environment is destroyed, there will be very serious consequences.

The demise of more than 30 human bases has sounded the alarm for everyone in all bases. In the future, while humans are developing industry, they will also pay attention to changes in the living environment.

This is on Mars. Once exposed to the outside air, just a few minutes is enough to be fatal. Once the living environment is damaged, only a little mistake is enough to destroy a base.

Although there was a plan to build a factory outside to discharge harmful substances, this is not very realistic. The environment without oxygen, low atmospheric pressure, and toxic ultraviolet rays are all reasons why humans cannot do too much work outside the ecosystem.

Although large-scale machinery can solve the problem, it is impossible to manufacture such machinery and robots that can work in the external environment of Mars with the existing resource output efficiency and resource allocation problems.

So in the eyes of many people, the existing system and living environment are already quite good, and there is no need to take risks to pursue more things.

The citizens of the Mars base feel that everything is equal now, but Ike doesn't think so.

The quality of the output is different, which is the biggest unfairness. The machines made by the engineers on this street day and night are completely different from those who only need to take care of flowers, plants and trees every day.

Especially nowadays, the exchange of materials between various bases is often quite disadvantageous. Even some bases with poor management and development need joint assistance from other bases. This is not once or twice.

Recently, the engineers on this street have been busy making some parts for three bases that need assistance. This is very hard work, but they get nothing, and many people are a little dissatisfied.

Ike wants to promote the Martian currency, using currency as a spur to comprehensively improve the production capacity of the Martian base, and to distinguish the quality of work output items to meet the demands of everyone.

Using currency to measure the value of output is fair. Many people are not optimistic about the currency plan proposed by Ike, but some people support it.

"Thank you for your hard work. I hope you can be more decisive in the choices in a few days."

As Ike said, the engineers nodded one after another, and everyone cheered. Ike smiled and turned around and walked slowly. Soon Ike left the street. Most people are now at home or in some farmlands.

In Ike's view, this leisurely and casual life is a failure for the entire Martian base group in the future.

So it must be changed, but the eldest brother and father are strong supporters of this casual life. Ike has had a bad relationship with his brother and father in the past few years because he wants to promote currency and make the value of the output visible.

This selfless lifestyle is based on the maintenance of overall interests at the expense of personal interests, and such an approach will only intensify the contradictions.

If no effective action is taken, war will break out, a war between bases.

Once the war breaks out, the humans in the Mars base will have no future. Nowadays, there are many bases that are enemies among the 70 Mars bases. Mars Base No. 66 has basically been supporting other bases in recent years.

This practice of not asking for any reward has an end, because a considerable number of people in the base are already dissatisfied.

Ike walked along a busy street and felt the malice of many people gathered around him.

For Ike, humans are selfish, and your selfless dedication cannot be exchanged for gratitude, which is often the case.

People should be divided into different levels, which is the right approach. If this social form continues, it will definitely cause disputes.
