Among the ten activated incubators, there was an ugly child with red skin and wrinkled skin lying in each one, crying there with his eyes closed. The ten incubators controlled by Xiao Xi were almost invisible in appearance.
The robot "aunt" who was different from humans was leaning over and coaxing them softly.
Their appearance and sounds have been carefully selected. Back on Earth, child psychologists and maternal and infant experts did not know how much work they went through to determine these things, striving to give babies the greatest sense of security.
, so that they can grow up healthily, both physically and mentally.
Of course, these robot ladies only have an upper body, and the lower body is a pillar, fixed directly on the floor.
There is also a mobile "aunt" in the nursery. It is responsible for carrying supplies for the other aunts, providing disposable degradable diapers, milk powder and other things. Sometimes it will also pick up items from the aunt fixed on the floor.
They took the babies in their hands and took them around the nursery, trying to put them to sleep as much as possible.
In the first three days, Zhao Changxing stayed here as long as he was awake. Because the "aunts" controlled by Xiao Xi can only do daily and routine work, and cannot handle emergencies. Besides,
He was also worried about whether there would be bugs in Xiao Xi's baby care program since it had not been used for decades.
After he found that everything was normal, he felt relieved a little.
At this moment, almost half a month has passed since the first baby, the baby boy he named Zhao Ye, was born. In the past half month, he has been staying in the Fire spacecraft, without once
Went down there.
But there is still work to be done after all, whether it is for your own future or the future of your children. The time is almost up, no matter how reluctant you are to give up, no matter how worried you are, you have to go on.
On this day, Zhao Changxing fried an egg - yes, he has eggs now. He ate a bowl of rice with half of the braised fish left yesterday and stir-fried spinach, and packed up the things he needed today.
, decided to leave the Spark spacecraft and head to Sedna.
Before leaving, he subconsciously walked around the nursery again.
After carefully looking at the children's physical indicators and confirming that everything was normal, he still did not want to leave. Instead, he walked slowly in the nursery, scanning the babies one by one.
Chen Feng is a boy with a relatively calm and quiet personality. Although he is the youngest, he is the most sensible. Basically, he never cries except when he has diarrhea, is hungry, or feels uncomfortable. He is just so quiet.
I lay in the incubator, quietly looking at the ceiling or the smile of the robot aunt. Sometimes there would be a smile of unknown meaning at the corner of my mouth, and some unknown sounds would come out of my mouth.
You know, he is just a pre-month-old baby, and his eyesight may not be able to see clearly even 20 centimeters away. God knows what is going on in his little head.
Compared with Chen Feng, the youngest brother, Zhao Ye, as the eldest brother, is more boisterous and full of energy. Sometimes he will dance around in the incubator, as if he is fighting an invisible enemy. Sometimes he fights
He cried out loudly as he hit me, as if he was defeated by some invisible monster.
The little girl named Sun Caiyun by Zhao Changxing never seemed to get enough sleep. Although babies do need more sleep, she slept a lot especially when there was basically no activity. Zhao Changxing once worried that she was sick, but
After the examination, everything turned out to be normal. We can only think that she naturally loves to sleep.
There is also a little baby girl who is named Zheng Yan by Zhao Changxing. She cries very loudly, has a particularly high voice, and loves to cry. Especially when the "crying symphony" is staged in the nursery, as soon as she opens her mouth, she will immediately cry.
The cries of the other babies were subdued and had a soprano quality.
Listening to the cries coming one after another, Zhao Changxing turned around with a smile and left the nursery. When he walked to the door, he looked at the ten babies and said softly: "Dad will come see you again tonight.
Now, daddy is going to work."
What responded to him was a louder cry.
After taking the Falcon 1 spacecraft and landing on Sedna, which had been away for more than ten days, Zhao Changxing first checked the growth of crops and animals. After confirming that everything was normal, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He first harvested the beans in the No. 2 soilless cultivation workshop. He harvested dozens of kilograms of beans, planted new beans, added some raw materials to the automated nutrient solution preparation workshop, caught a few fish, and threw them to the automated slaughtering equipment.
Once they are slaughtered and frozen, they will have time to busy themselves with things at Humanity Base No. 1.
At this moment, the foundation of Humanity Base No. 1 with a total area of more than 10,000 square meters has been laid, and it is time to lay the insulation layer.
It is extremely cold on Sedna. If buildings are not in direct contact with the ground, heat will easily be lost, so the insulation layer is very important. In particular, the surface of Sedna has long adapted to the extremely cold environment, and some
Many easily volatile gases have been integrated with them and cannot be completely cleaned. A sudden increase in temperature may even cause the foundation to collapse, endangering the safety of the entire Humanity Base No. 1.
The insulation layer laid this time is different from the luxurious flooring in the first phase of the project. The plan formulated by experts on Earth is to use a spray gel and spray it directly onto the surface. After that, in the extreme
It will solidify quickly in cold environments, which not only plays a role in heat insulation, but also provides support for subsequent construction.
After all the hundreds of kilograms of gel brought down from the Falcon 1 spacecraft were sprayed, only a fraction of the entire site had been sprayed, but it was already getting late.
Zhao Changxing dragged his tired body and returned to the Spark spacecraft once again.
It continued like this for the next few days. Among the twenty-four hours a day, at least ten hours were spent working and seven hours sleeping. The rest of the time was devoted to solving physiological needs, such as eating, excreting, etc.
During a tour of the nursery.
Even when he was working, when the Spark spacecraft passed by his side of the planet, he would raise his head and look at it for a while, and he couldn't help but smile.
When he was on earth, he was not married, let alone had children. But at this moment, he really felt what it was like to be a father, and he also understood why some people he had seen before were usually idle, but once they had children, they
He immediately became able to endure hardships better than anyone else.
Because I already have responsibilities and obligations to raise another little life to grow up safely and happily.
As time goes by, after the insulation layer is laid, the first floor is laid. After that, the second floor is laid.
The second floor is particularly important. It is in direct contact with the internal life-support environment. It must be tough enough, tight enough, and have a series of indicators such as cold resistance and radiation resistance. If something goes wrong with it,
It is really possible that people will die, or even the entire base will be affected.
This work extremely tests patience and concentration, and does not consume much physical energy. But Zhao Changxing feels more tired than the previous physical work. But even so, every time he drags his extremely tired body back to the Fire Spaceship
He never forgot to spend some time with his children.
During this period of time, the children have undergone obvious changes. Their skin is no longer red and wrinkled, but has gradually become smoother and fairer. Their activities have also increased significantly, and their sleeping time has gradually decreased. Even
My strength also increased a bit.
Including the youngest Chen Feng, they are all out of confinement, and their food has been changed from milk powder to other things. Zhao Changxing follows the infant diet and provides them with the best food possible under existing conditions.
, but obviously they don’t like to eat these things.
Listening to the cries of the children, Zhao Changxing felt heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do.
During this period, his face became much gloomier. It was not until the children gradually adapted and the physical examination showed that there were no unacceptable consequences that his mood gradually improved.
Fortunately, none of the children got sick during this period. But this good luck was soon broken.
On this day, Zhao Changxing was laying the floor on the Sedna planet, and suddenly Xiaoxi's voice reached his ears.
"Captain, I have detected that Qian Yue's body temperature is rising rapidly and abnormally. It may rise to 40 degrees Celsius in half an hour. I need you to come back and deal with it."
Zhao Changxing felt his heart skip a beat, and millions of images flashed through his head in an instant. Like every new parent, he felt at a loss.
"Okay, why are you sick?"
He anxiously put down his work, not even caring about the peppers that were ready to be harvested, and flew back directly on the Falcon spacecraft.
After taking off his space suit, he immediately rushed into the nursery and saw Qian Yue's face flushed, her legs kicking wildly, and she was crying there.
This made Zhao Changxing very distressed. He quickly picked up Qian Yue and rushed into the infirmary.
Xiao Xi could formulate a medical plan, but he had to do the specific examination and judgment. After some examination, it was confirmed that Qian Yue only had mild gastroenteritis and was in a completely controllable state, and he was greatly relieved.
"Captain, this is a treatment plan for infants with mild gastroenteritis."
Xiaoxi immediately presented the medical plan to Zhao Changxing.
There are many medicines stored in the Huozhi spacecraft, both for adults and children. Fortunately, these medicines were not lost, otherwise Zhao Changxing would really have nothing to do.
After giving the medicine and watching Qian Yue fall asleep again, he thought for a while and decided to temporarily replace Qian Yue's food with milk powder. After all, the sick always have privileges.
