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, and next to the huge cracks, there is a brightly lit city, each hemisphere.
Shape-shaped houses and interconnected corridors together constitute the original and largest residential area on Mars - the Canyon Mariner 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 make plants
The mid-term goal is to allow plants to grow on soil mixed with Martian soil, and the ultimate goal is to cultivate plants that can grow in the wild on 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 living in
The pioneers here are also the most difficult among the immigrants to Mars. They are also called great pioneers in the propaganda of the earth.
But for children, such an environment is really hard to like. There is gravel everywhere outside, and when the wind blows, it is full of sand. Occasionally, there will be big storms. They can only move around in this small house, and due to the limitation of transportation capacity, there is nothing
A toy suitable for children at a very high price.
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 he still lives here instead of returning to Earth?
Dad said a lot, but at that time, he only wanted to go back to Earth with his classmates, especially his beautiful female classmate. After getting a negative answer, he slammed the door angrily and left without listening at all.
I forgot about it, but somehow, I suddenly thought of a sentence I said that day:
The environment of Mars is indeed very harsh, but we can turn this place into a second Earth with our own efforts.
At that time, he didn't understand. 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 if he cannot enjoy flowers, honors and exclusive anniversaries like the disappearing bird, he can still
It’s not like there’s nothing.
Since you would rather be a human being, why did you become Ultraman in the first place? If not 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. With this breath of grit, he persevered and became a reserve member of the Neo Super Victory Team. p>
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 at the Ganymede base where even sunlight was a luxury, and some were holding back.
Exploring the outer reaches of the solar system in a narrow spacecraft, some...slowly understood the father who insisted on 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 seemed like I was back to that day again. The greenhouse made of special transparent glass was bright and full of light. You could see blooming flowers and lush grass everywhere. These plants that are common on earth are more valuable than diamonds on Mars.
Be precious.
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.
Chiba Hikaru looked at the familiar scenes around him and suddenly thought that this was the place where he grew up and where he was proud. How many times had he secretly brought his friends in and proudly announced that these flowers and plants were all cultivated by his father. In the future, his father would
Plant every place on Mars with flowers and grass.
Even if my mother scolds me afterwards and is not allowed to come in to cause trouble, it will be troublesome if I break something, but I will still bring my classmates in next time, just for the exclamation and envy.
But at some point, he no longer felt that these things were something he could show off, let alone be proud of. 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 usual smile on his face, and looked at him with gentle eyes, which made Chiba Hikaru smile involuntarily, opened his mouth, and wanted to say
When you grow up, you are like you before, driving a war eagle, soaring in the sky, and becoming Ultraman, fighting fiercely with monsters.
But before he opened his mouth, his eyes were already red. In order to stand out from the crowd of students, in order to become an official member of Neo's Super Victory Team as soon as possible, and for... better reasons, let him stay on the training ground again and again.
, I haven’t been home for a long time.
"Hope alone can light up the road to the future." Dad was talking, but his voice became more and more ethereal, and the picture in front of him gradually drifted away, leaving only the sunlight shining through the glass.
Occupying all the field of vision, Chiba Hikaru thought that when he picked up the Hypa gun, the light emitted by Tiga on the surface of the storage device was like this, and then...
Qianye Guang suddenly opened his eyes, and 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 is the most beautiful thing that is very popular on Mars.
The sound of the earth. For a long time, he fell asleep listening to the chirping of insects, imagining that he had arrived on a vibrant earth full of green vegetation.
No, I am on Earth, the Earth in ancient times!
Then Chiba Hikaru thought of the giant lizard, the Hypa Gun of the Elite Victory Team, thought of himself becoming Ultraman, thought of...
A burst of fragrance wafted in, 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...Dad?" Qianye Guangming murmured, turning his head to look in the direction of the sound. He saw a fire next to it, surrounded by several stones, with pieces of meat on it.
, it can not only warm the fire for him lying next to him, but also keep the temperature of the meat from getting cold.
The person who did this was none other than 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 roasted meat and brought it to his mouth.
