"This technology is incredibly advanced! If it were widespread, our survival would be even more secure," someone said with anticipation. His voice trembled slightly, his eyes gleaming with a fiery light, as if he had already seen a vision of a promising future. He took a small step forward, gesturing excitedly with his hands, and continued, "Imagine! If this technology were widely adopted, we wouldn't have to worry about the threat of natural disasters. When floods rage, our homes won't be easily washed away. Instead, they'll float steadily on the water like this base, providing us with a safe haven." His face was filled with longing for a better future. "On land, whether it's rugged mountain roads or vast deserts, with this powerful and flexible power system, transportation will no longer be a problem. The transportation of supplies will become more efficient and faster, ensuring that even remote areas will receive sufficient and timely supplies." His speech quickened, his excitement evident. "Furthermore, this will not only ensure our basic survival needs, but will also greatly improve our quality of life. Efficient energy utilization and environmental sustainability will no longer be distant dreams." He took a deep breath and gazed determinedly into the distance. "If such a day really comes, our world will undergo earth-shaking changes. The power of science and technology will truly serve the well-being of mankind, allowing everyone to live in a safer, more convenient and better environment." His voice echoed in the air, full of eager anticipation for the popularization of this advanced technology, as if that beautiful future was just within reach tomorrow.

In this unique base, Xiao Yi and his colleagues struggled to adapt to a new lifestyle and rules. For starters, everything felt strange and new. Every morning, Xiao Yi woke up to a technologically advanced landscape, not the familiar scenery outside the window. Instead, he was greeted by a futuristic landscape of metal walls and flashing lights. The familiar sounds of birdsong were replaced by the gentle hum of machinery, which often left him feeling disoriented during his first few days. Everyone began learning how to use the complex and advanced equipment. Every button and every interface required careful study and memorization. Xiao Yi often spent countless hours, poring over the manuals, gradually mastering the seemingly simple yet technologically advanced facilities. For example, food was no longer purchased at the market, but instead was customized to individual nutritional needs through an intelligent food synthesis system. This required understanding the various nutritional combinations and entering the correct instructions. The new rules of life also presented a challenge. A strict energy management system required everyone to precisely control their energy usage, eliminating any waste. Work and rest schedules were also reorganized to maximize base efficiency. Xiao Yi and his companions had to adjust their biological clocks to this intensive and structured pace. Social interaction also underwent significant changes. In this relatively closed environment, interpersonal communication became increasingly reliant on digital platforms and virtual meetings. Xiao Yi strove to overcome the loneliness brought on by the reduction in face-to-face interactions, actively participating in online discussions and activities, attempting to build new interpersonal networks. To cope with the psychological pressures of the new environment, they also participated in regular psychological counseling sessions. In these sessions, they learned how to adjust their mindsets and remain positive and optimistic in a challenging and changing environment. Although the process was fraught with difficulties and challenges, Xiao Yi and the others understood that only by striving to adapt could they begin a new chapter in their lives in this unique base. They encouraged and supported each other, working tirelessly every day to better integrate into this new environment.

Learning how to utilize the base's resources was no easy task. The first challenge was the complex resource allocation system. Xiao Yi and the others sat together, brows furrowed, intently studying the system's operating instructions. They learned that energy acquisition required rational application based on their respective tasks and needs, with every kilowatt-hour and every joule of energy precisely calculated and allocated. Water usage was also strictly regulated, and they learned to maximize water conservation and reuse through purification and recycling systems. Xiao Yi carefully operated the purification equipment, his eyes fixed on the data on the dashboard, ensuring that every drop of water was fully processed and utilized. Food resources were equally precious, so they participated in training courses on planting and animal husbandry. In the greenhouse, they carefully tended various crops, learning how to control light, temperature, and humidity to maximize yields. For their animals, they mastered scientific feeding methods and disease prevention measures to ensure a stable source of protein. They also put in a lot of effort in learning to get along harmoniously with the other residents. Initially, due to their unfamiliarity and different backgrounds, misunderstandings and friction were inevitable. However, Xiao Yi and his colleagues proactively engaged with others, listening to their thoughts and feelings. They organized various community events, such as dinners, cultural exchanges, and sports competitions. At dinners, everyone shared their own food and exchanged cooking tips, with laughter and joy echoing throughout the base. Cultural exchanges gave everyone the opportunity to showcase the unique characteristics and traditions of their hometowns, fostering mutual understanding and respect. During sports competitions, they worked together for team honor, forging deep friendships through hard work and competition. When disagreements arose, they chose to communicate calmly and seek shared solutions, rather than arguing or blaming each other. Xiao Yi often acted as a mediator, using gentle words and rational analysis to resolve conflicts and bring everyone together. Through continuous learning and practice, they gradually mastered the use of the base's resources, established harmonious, supportive, and friendly relationships with other residents, and worked together to create a warm and beautiful life in this unique environment.
