In the base's public areas, a series of thoughtfully designed leisure facilities adorn this shared space like dazzling pearls. A spacious lawn, like a green carpet, is soft and vibrant. Around the lawn, elegant benches, with perfectly curved backs and armrests, offer a comfortable place to relax and enjoy the sun. Staggered flower beds, a vibrant array of flowers bloom year-round, emitting a fragrant aroma. Next to the flower beds, round stone tables and benches stand, their smooth surfaces gleaming with age. On fine days, people gather around the stone tables, sipping tea, chatting, or playing chess, filled with laughter. The children's play area boasts a vibrant selection of slides, swings, and seesaws. Children glide down the slides, their laughter ringing like silver bells; swing high on the swings, their faces lit with pure joy; and on the seesaw, they experience the joy of balance with their friends. Parents watched with smiles, offering occasional encouragement and protection. In the fitness area, a variety of brand-new equipment was neatly arranged. There were steppers for leg strength training, pull-up machines for arm muscle strengthening, and twisting discs for waist exercise. In the mornings, the elderly came here to stretch their muscles and exchange fitness tips; in the evenings, young people, after work, came here to work out and release the stress of the day. In the center of the public area was a spacious square. Various activities were held here on weekends and holidays. Sometimes there were lively cultural performances with performers singing and dancing, bringing joy to everyone; sometimes there were fun parent-child sports games where parents and children worked together to strengthen their parent-child relationships; and sometimes there were warm neighborhood dinners where everyone brought home food to share and have fun together. In these public areas, people gathered in their free time. Children made new friends through play, and adults deepened their understanding through communication. The bond between neighbors gradually warmed with each gathering, and once-strangers became familiar and friendly. This place is no longer just a public space, but a big family filled with warmth and love, allowing everyone living in the base to feel the sincere friendship and strong sense of belonging among neighbors.

"Here, we finally feel a sense of belonging," the residents sighed softly, their faces beaming with happiness, like flowers blooming in spring, brilliant and moving. Their eyes shone with a sense of peace and contentment, the relief of finding a safe haven after years of wandering. Once, perhaps they felt lonely amid the hustle and bustle of the city, lost in the hustle and bustle of the crowds, their hearts like rootless duckweed, unable to find a home. But now, in this base, everything has changed. Every time they walk down a familiar street and greet their neighbors warmly, the warm response softens their hearts. Children play happily in the garden, their laughter echoing in the air, making them feel the beauty and hope of life. As night falls, the brightly lit windows shimmer with the warmth of home. Families gather around the dining table, sharing their experiences of the day. The close-knit atmosphere makes them realize that this is the home they have longed for. In community activities, everyone works together, striving for a common goal. The unity and mutual support make them feel deeply that they are part of this big family. Whether celebrating holidays with joy or supporting each other in times of hardship, this sense of belonging deepens. Residents smile as they recall the times they've spent together, from initial strangers to the close bonds of family they now share. Every moment is filled with warmth and emotion. They know this isn't just a place to live, but a place of spiritual comfort, a home they can rely on, trust, and dedicate themselves to. Those happy smiles, etched not only on their faces but also in their hearts, become their most precious memories of this loving community and the driving force that keeps them moving forward, working together to create a better life.

The workspace resembles a vast beehive brimming with activity, its bustle overwhelming. Workshops, laboratories, and offices are neatly arranged, forming an organic and orderly whole. In the workshops, the roar of machinery rises and falls like a passionate symphony. Massive lathes whirr at high speed, metal parts gradually taking shape under the expert manipulation of craftsmen, sparks flying like dazzling fireworks. The flash of welding light occasionally illumines the focused faces of the workers, their eyes fixed on the work in hand, sweat trickling down their cheeks, yet their rhythm remains unaffected. The laboratories are filled with sophisticated instruments and equipment, and the colorful reagents in glassware gleam mysteriously under the light. Researchers in white coats shuttle between lab benches, meticulously recording data and analyzing samples. Under microscopes, the mysteries of the microscopic world are gradually being revealed; in petri dishes, new signs of life are quietly developing. Sometimes they whisper to each other, sometimes they sink into deep thought, each experiment a brave exploration of the unknown. Inside the office, documents pile up like mountains, and the glow of computer screens illuminates the focused faces. The staff's fingers tap rapidly on the keyboard, as if playing a tense yet orderly melody. The phone rings from time to time, and they quickly answer it, communicating work matters in clear and decisive language. The whiteboards on the wall are filled with various plans and progress. Every mark is the crystallization of the team's wisdom, and every update is a step forward towards the goal. Looking down from above, the ruggedness and boldness of the workshop, the rigor and meticulousness of the laboratory, and the tense and orderly office interweave to form a picture full of movement and creativity. This busy work area is like a giant engine, constantly driving the development and progress of the base, and every corner exudes the atmosphere of hard work and struggle.
