AMICITAS Mission Three – Mission Day 47

ARES 3 solar day 50

"It's time to have dinner!" Berry yelled.

Food rationing for each meal has now become a daily routine. There are only these types of meals that rotate: fresh, half-and-half, eaten after a few bites, and leftovers. A fresh meal is an unsealed food package, leaving about a quarter on a plate in Mark's refrigerator and eating the remaining three-quarters. A half-and-half is half a food packet plus fresh scraps from a meal. A few bites refers to a small amount of fresh food packets plus the remaining portion of the halved portion. And leftovers, as the name suggests, are the end of the food chain. When new food packages are no longer opened, all the leftovers are put together to make a hodgepodge.

Of course, these things have no impact on Fireball - unlimited supply of quartz ore, various by-products of the mining process, you can eat as much as you want. Of course, in exchange, Fireball's workload is greater than that of everyone here. But since that explosion—or, as Spitfire calls it, the "cave vent/wind break"—the fireballs haven't eaten as much as before. In fact, Berry Berry has recently become his "dining partner", supervising that he must eat a full portion every time.

These rules don't apply to Dragonfly for other reasons. Tingting's food is the other group members - or the love they can share with her. So every time before everyone started eating, the Amicitas team members had to give Ting Ting a long round of collective hugs, focusing on thinking about their lovely and respectable team member and passing on this emotion to her.

Under normal circumstances, Dragonfly would be the first to ask for food. After all, changelings naturally have few moral concerns about the source of their food, and they always speak freely. But today's situation was a bit special. Even when the other four team members and Mark came to the kitchen to prepare for the meal, Ding Ting had not yet appeared.

The living area is not particularly large, and there are no walls dividing the space inside. Everyone almost saw a changeling sitting on the wall next to the No. 2 airlock. "Dingting, it's time to eat." Berry shouted, "What are you doing there?"

"I don't know." Dragonfly replied.

"She was sitting still," Mark said.

"Sit quietly?" Berry thought for a while, "Dingting, what good thing have you done again?"

"Mark caught me secretly using his computer." Tingting said angrily, "He just let me sit here, and every time I wanted to get up, he would come over and push me back into the chair. I didn't know he What do you want to do?"

Berry couldn't help laughing. "He's making you look at your fault," she said. "It's a foal's punishment."

"It's a good thing he didn't have any paper," Spitfire interjected, "otherwise you might be wearing a fool's hat right now."

Dragonfly blinked and slumped back in the chair. "What is that going to do?" she asked, "What kind of punishment is this?" At this moment, she suddenly seemed to realize something and her ear fins twitched. "Wait a minute, did you just say this was a punishment for larvae (foals)?"

"If you don't want to be punished as a child, don't make trouble for children." Berry responded, "Mark, can you let Tingting go?"

Mark shrugged. "If only she learned her lesson...well, if only she knew not to do it again next time."

Berry turned to Starlight. "How did Mark and the others say 'there is no cure'?"

Mission Log – Solar Day 50

Apparently a thief broke into my house recently. (We Got Hackers, a nature-themed documentary about purely natural computer criminals in the wild, National Geographic Channel’s latest masterpiece, so stay tuned!)

We just came back from sowing in the cave today (we planted 400 square meters of alfalfa, and the remaining 200 square meters were reserved for planting potatoes later), and I went out to clean the solar array again. As soon as I came back, I I found that Tingting opened my computer and rummaged through various files. I don't know where she learned this skill or how long it lasted, but I punished her by making her stare at the wall until dinner. I was worried at first that the other ponies might be upset, but they seemed to find it hilarious.

Oddly enough, she was checking out Lewis's list of hot 1970s TV shows for a few that I hadn't noticed before. One of them is called Super Friends. I thought Lewis had no other cartoons in her collection besides the animatronic sidekicks, but if I had to pick one of the worst cartoons of all time for her, it would definitely have to be Super Buddies. Lewis was somewhat self-aware and hid this thing under a subdirectory of the disk. Otherwise, if I had seen it before, I would have been shocked to death.

After dinner, I showed the film to the ponies. Shockingly, for the first time ever, ponies, changelings, and dragons were on the same side, disdainful of the show. But after explaining it on the whiteboard, I understood why. In fact, there are superhero-themed comics in their world, but they are not interested in them. At first, Xingguang watched with interest for a while out of politeness, but she was the first to start to feel restless. The others simply didn't take a direct look at it.

No wonder they are. This show is nothing like those Marvel Universe superhero movies I watched in high school and college. It's just a bunch of fun.

The thing I'm most dissatisfied with about this movie is that when it was written and directed, it was completely in the direction of the child supply, so there was no so-called conflict at all in the plot, it was just a peaceful time. This situation is like a group of superheroes (including Aquaman) in DC comics getting together, but not even a real fight happened. There is not even a real villain in the entire first season. In most cases, there is either a force majeure natural disaster, or a scientist accidentally messes up and makes big news.

Even so, at least half of the problems were actually caused by two young men with an estimated mental age of only nine years old and a dog that was exactly the same as Scooby-Doo.

Seriously, where are Wendy and Marvin's parents? Who's going to call child protective services? "Yes, sir, there are two kids who hang around a bunch of superheroes all day long. They could be in extreme danger every day! In volcano craters, train tunnels, alien spaceships, they go anywhere! And theirs The legal guardian has disappeared to nowhere!" This situation is like Superman and Wonder Woman taking a parenting course at Albus Dumbledore's academy.

It would make more sense if Batman came. Next to him is always a Robin, about the same age as the kids, maybe a little older, since we all know Bruce Wayne always loves to lead his kids into battle. But then again, that’s not how Jon and Martha Kent raised Clark (Superman)! And I guess Hippolyta wouldn't... "shape" Diana in this way?

In any case, these children are so ridiculous that words cannot describe them. This show is just plain bad, to the point where it fails even by failure standards.

Also, don’t mention Aquaman to me! …

Say no more. As planned, we took a one-hour language class, and then returned to the daily entertainment program time. We finished the Patquji family today. I finally get around to watching King Kong tomorrow night.

By the way, I guess you are very interested in the crop situation, so I would like to disclose it here: the progress is good. Tomorrow we will plant a quarter of the habitat with alfalfa. The rest, along with the inflatable tents, will be filled with potatoes. Potatoes generally grow without much impact in shallow soil, and the main purpose of some alfalfa I left here is more to enrich the nitrogen in the soil, so it will not become food for the ponies. In any case, the soil depth here is not enough for alfalfa to grow normally.

After tomorrow, everything will be ready for the farm project, and only the work of taking care of the crops is left to be busy. I'm thinking about my next work plan. But before the plan is finalized, I still need to discuss a few things with Starlight.

After that, I had to find a way to convince Tingting to give typing lessons to others.
