Chapter 1196 The Passage of Light
The stars are twinkling in the night sky, densely packed all over the sky, and there are two small 'moons'. Under the starry sky, between the undulating mountains and rivers, beside the huge crack, sits With a brightly lit city, hemispherical houses and interconnected corridors, they together constitute the original and largest residential area on Mars - the Mariner Canyon Base.
On the plains near the base, there are numerous botanical gardens, most of which were established by the first and second batch of Martian immigrants. They use seeds, soil, fertilizer and even water from the earth to cultivate plants on Mars. The initial goal is to allow plants to grow, the mid-term goal is to allow plants to grow on soil mixed with Martian soil, and the ultimate goal is to be able to cultivate plants that can grow in the wilds of Mars.
As the sun sets, the botanical gardens light up, like pearls in the wilderness. No, compared to the desolation outside, there are colorful flowerhouses, as bright as the stars in the night sky, representing vitality. and hope, and the pioneers who live here are also the most difficult among the immigrants to Mars. In the propaganda of the earth, they are also called great pioneers.
But for children, such an environment is really hard to like. There is gravel everywhere outside, and the wind is full of sand. Occasionally, there will be big storms. They can only move around in this small house, and Due to capacity constraints, there are no toys suitable for children, and the prices are extremely high.
In Chiba Hikaru's memory, most of the toys he had when he was a child were homemade by his father. The best toy was a spaceship that his mother bought him on his birthday that could turn into a robot. He still remembers that when he was in middle school, TPC organized the previous batches of Mars immigrants to return to Earth. Many students in the class left with their parents. He even went back and asked his father, why did he still live here and not return to Earth?
Dad said a lot, but at that time, he only wanted to return to Earth with his classmates, especially his beautiful female classmate. After getting a negative answer, he slammed the door angrily and left. I didn’t listen, and I forgot about it later, but somehow, I suddenly thought of a sentence I said that day:
The environment on Mars is indeed very harsh, but we can use our own efforts to turn this place into a second one Earth.
At that time, he didn’t understand that there were so many people, so what if you were missing? Why did your ideal make me and my mother suffer here together?
After knowing that my father is Tiga, I feel even more unfair. He is obviously a hero who protects the earth, but here he has his back to the loess and his face to the earth. Even though he cannot enjoy flowers, honors and happiness like the disappearing bird, An exclusive anniversary is not nothing.
Since you prefer to be a human being, why did you want to be Ultraman in the first place? If it weren't for Ultraman, why would their family be trapped on Mars?
At that time, he only knew but did not understand what dedication and responsibility were. He joined the Zero Flight Training School with a sigh of relief. He gritted his teeth and persevered and became a member of the Neo Super Victory Team. reserve team members.
Along the way, he saw many examples of dedication and sacrifice for mankind, and got to know many people who worked hard to achieve their goals. Some of them were in Ganymede, where even sunlight is a luxury. Some are exploring the outer solar system in cramped spaceships, and some are slowly understanding their father who sticks to Mars.
After truly becoming Ultraman, Chiba Hikaru suddenly understood what his father said that day: I would rather be a human than Ultraman.
In a trance, it seems like I have returned to that day again. The greenhouse made of special transparent glass is bright and full of light. You can see blooming flowers and lush grass everywhere, these common plants on the earth. , more precious than diamonds on Mars. The young father is no longer walking among flowers and plants. What he sees is a bright future. He holds a pen and paper to record the blooming hope.
Qianye Hikaru looked at the familiar scenes around him and suddenly thought that this is the place where he grew up and where he is proud. How many times have he secretly brought his friends in and proudly announced that these flowers and plants are all from his father? Cultivated. From now on, Dad will plant flowers and plants everywhere on Mars.
Even if my mother scolds me afterwards and is not allowed to come in to make trouble, and it will be troublesome if I break something, I will still bring my classmates in next time, just for the wonder and envy.
But I don’t know when, these things no longer made him feel that he could show off, let alone be proud of him. He began to pay attention to the current position of the former victorious team members, and began to think about 'fairness' and 'worthiness'. '.
In a daze, standing among the flowers, his father, who was wearing very ordinary clothes, raised his head, with a consistent smile on his face, and looked at him with gentle eyes, which made Chiba Hikaru smile involuntarily. He opened his mouth and wanted to say that he had grown up and was like you before, driving a war eagle, soaring in the sky, and turning into Ultraman to fight fiercely with monsters.
But before he spoke, his eyes were already red. In order to stand out from the crowd of students, in order to become an official Neo Super Victory Team member as soon as possible, and for better reasons, he stayed on the training ground again and again for a long time. There is no going home.
"Hope alone can illuminate the road to the future." Dad was speaking, but the voice became more and more ethereal, and the picture in front of him gradually drifted away, leaving only what was left through the glass. The sunlight shining in occupied all the field of vision, making Chiba Hikaru think of the light emitted by Tiga on the surface of the storage device when he picked up the Hypa gun, and then < br>
Qianye Guang opened his eyes suddenly, but what came into his eyes was the sky full of stars, and a silver moon hanging high in the sky. It was very quiet everywhere, only the sound of insects could be heard. This was very rare on Mars. It is the most beautiful sound of the earth that is popular. For a long time, he fell asleep listening to the chirping of insects, imagining that he had come to an earth full of green vegetation and vitality.
No, I am on Earth, the Earth in ancient times!
Then Chiba Hikaru thought of the giant lizard, thought of the Elite Victory Team's Hypa Gun, thought of himself becoming Ultraman, thought of.
A burst of fragrance wafted up, and Chiba Hikaru couldn't help but take a few more sips. His Adam's apple squirmed and his mouth was full of saliva. Then he heard the voice in his dream again: "Wake up, do you want some barbecue?"
"Dad?" Qianye Guang said dreamily. He murmured and turned to look in the direction of the sound. He saw a fire next to him, surrounded by a few stones and with pieces of meat on it. It could both warm him up and keep him lying next to him. The temperature of these meats will not let them get cold.
The person who did this was Chiba Makoto, who was sitting cross-legged and throwing a piece of firewood into the fire from time to time. Just like he did when he was a child, he picked up two pieces of cooked meat and sent them to the fire. to his lips.
