Dark Beacon
The next morning.
The residents of Hungry Hungry were always interested in aerospace research, and the chat group had already been buzzing with discussions about everything from new movies to future technology. Ye Miaomiao had given the residents half a day off to prevent them from lamenting about missing the premiere.
Far outside the theater, Knox, aerospace researchers, and people who were following the movie or attracted by the trailer were also hugging their screens, waiting for the movie to be released.
Amidst the calm or anxious waiting, at eight o'clock in the morning, the new product "Space Voyage: Cradle" finally appeared in the newly opened movie column of Hungry Hungry.
Before this, many people thought that this was a documentary specifically about aerospace technology, while some with ulterior motives speculated that this was a manipulated political propaganda film aimed at creating a false positive image in order to gain points. After all, such things happened before the end of the world.
After clicking it with some doubt, I saw a familiar grassland.
Knox smacked his lips slightly and immediately recognized it as the first round of disaster, "People of God."
The picture shows an extremely simple territory, with a sparse and low wooden fence enclosing an area. Inside, there are only a crudely built wooden house, a well, and a bonfire.
They tried to survive here, cutting down trees to build new homes, gathering berries, hunting wild boars, making traps, and weaving ropes. All kinds of wisdom emerged one after another, and life gradually improved.
Despite being thrown into this disaster-ridden world surrounded by dangers and given only a few starter supplies, their eyes are bright, filled with a vibrant vision for the future.
People couldn't help but smile as they watched the territory changing and becoming more suitable for survival.
Some people, like Knox, couldn't help but frown and straighten their waists involuntarily - it was too slow, this development speed was not good.
Sure enough, the arrival of the first blood moon caught the territory off guard and destroyed it with devastating force.
The photographer relied on the terrain to resist hard for a whole night. The picture focused on the sunrise. When the blood moon faded, corpses were everywhere, and the young man who tried to resist the monster lay dying in front of the house.
The warm morning light shone on his tears, but it couldn't stop his gradually decreasing body temperature. The young man felt helpless, "I have no choice, I tried my best... but it's useless, I will never see the sunrise again..."
Behind him, the once positive picture of life was torn apart, becoming a static picture that would never move again.
The photographer's first loss of composure appeared on the screen. She desperately stuffed the herbs into the young man's mouth, but it was of no avail. The friend who had cut trees with her soon disappeared along with the territory.
On the empty grassland, the territory that was once full of hope was destroyed.
"No! No..." The person in the video covered her face and cried bitterly, then raised her head and looked around with a look of crying and laughing. Her angry cries echoed in the silent grassland.
“Why?”
The people outside the video were shocked and had long forgotten their previous groundless speculations about the movie.
The dramatic thing is that, although it is a movie plot, it actually happens every moment after the apocalypse. They can't find any reason to laugh, after all, everyone has worked hard to live.
However, in the face of the sweeping disaster, human beings are like an ant, being swept towards their end, and beautiful wishes become sad fantasies.
After the heavy background music, the second and third rounds of disasters occurred.
The photographer walked through the broken territories one by one, recording the most moving scenes in his lens. Under the overwhelming disaster, compatriots were powerless to fight back. The film has no lines, but uses the simplest lens language to convey the simplest emotions -
Despair again and again.
In just a few dozen minutes, the people in front of the movie were choked with sobs and speechless, sad and confused at the same time.
What can they do in the face of disaster? Are they any different from the people in the movie? Today has not changed, and yesterday and tomorrow are only different in time.
Finally, in the middle of the fourth disaster, the photographer arrived at Hungry Hungry.
The film doesn't dwell on superficial details like the starving inhabitants or the surroundings. After a brief introduction, the camera quickly shifts to the "nameless desert," the most desolate place in the world after the announcement of "Next Target—Going to Heaven!"
This place really cannot reflect the level of development of Hungry Hungry. When everyone was hesitating, the camera slowly moved forward, and a woman was alone in the yellow sand, walking farther and farther away.
She was looking around with a telescope, planning the location of the Space Research Institute.
"Lord, are you really going to develop space technology? One year... Everyone says it's too short. Even a storyteller like me can't believe it. I guess even a third-rate director couldn't film such a plot..."
After the photographer asked, everyone began to think about the theme of the film. Recalling the plot just now, it suddenly felt like the director was making a big move.
The woman called the Lord asked back, "What if we don't develop? Can we survive?"
The photographer was stunned and didn't know what to say.
"Human lifespans are short and bodies are fragile. Not to mention natural disasters, even minor illnesses and difficulties can cause us harm. The development of aerospace technology means we have a stepping stone into the interstellar age. Ordinary natural disasters can no longer harm us, and even advanced disasters have room for reversal through 'camp selection'." When describing the future, the eyes under the hood were as bright as stars.
"Disasters will never end on their own. Ending natural disasters depends on us alone. We must be strong enough to conquer disasters and the entire universe. To achieve this, any difficulty must be overcome."
She said this with a firm and resounding voice.
As if to complement her words, the video began to speed up.
In the barren desert, research bases were erected, and various facilities began to operate. Day and night, researchers came and went, building spacecraft from scratch.
The desert seemed to be cast under a spell, and it quickly became prosperous around her and within her sight. No one could have imagined that this was a miracle built on a piece of wasteland.
Brand new buildings were completed and the aircraft ignition ceremony began, as if the entire territory was cheering for her decision.
The audience in front of the screen couldn't help but hold their breath and open their eyes wide, for fear of missing a picture or a word.
Finally, after a long and difficult journey, people saw the five-second space footage again.
It succeeded... Although it was expected, the success despite all the difficulties is still extraordinary.
People recalled the woman's decisive words in the desert at the very beginning, and their hearts suddenly surged with emotion - she was serious about conquering the starting point of disaster.
From the moment the rocket took off, they were no longer victims of disaster. They officially entered the era of space travel and became brave warriors swimming against the tide.
With a click, the light screen fell into darkness.
Knox slumped powerlessly in the chair, staring straight at his aging eyes on the black screen. After many years, he saw tears of excitement in them, like a foolish boy.
"She will ignite a violent firestorm, ignite the passions of her followers, and cause unimaginable unrest. Today's young people are truly..."
"Lord..." The assistant beside him cautiously turned his head to look at him. It was the first time he saw a tough guy like Knox drop a small pearl.
Knox wiped his eyes nonchalantly, then burst into laughter. "Young people these days, great! Great! That's fantastic! Contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs right away. We should do something too."
At the same time, the aerospace researchers who were furthest away from the hungry star stood up excitedly, tears of excitement gleaming in their eyes. As Knox said, they couldn't wait to participate in this historic turning point.
"I'll go see if the design drawings are finished!" A man hurried out of the room, walking very fast.
The rest of the group excitedly discussed the details.
Shortly after the release of "Space Voyage: Cradle", it received rave reviews. People couldn't contain their excitement after watching it and left warm blessings under the product.
"Five-star praise from 'Bo Ya Xuan Yue': I wish you such a beautiful landscape, with surging waves and rising clouds."
"Five-star review from 'Empty Wallet': Forgive me for not being as educated as the above, but I wish E E E a prosperous and immediate success. Could you please enter the interstellar age sooner? Don't make me beg you on my knees."
"Five-star review from 'Shazhou Leng': History always leaves its mark. When our country was founded, we were determined to be independent and self-reliant. Back then, we were surrounded by other countries, and today we are threatened by natural disasters. There is no difference."
“…”
It is human instinct to keep improving, survive better and pursue power.
And Ye Miaomiao, the initiator of all this, has almost become a beacon in the darkness.
In just a few hours in the morning, almost everyone knew about Hungry Hungry's new video as people took the initiative to spread the word.
This craze continued until the release of "Space Voyage: Cradle (Behind the Scenes)" in the afternoon, and the popularity once again reached a new peak.
The behind-the-scenes footage is a compilation of the researcher's daily life. Unlike the main film, which is processed artistically, the behind-the-scenes footage has a rare authenticity.
The hard work of the researchers, Ye Miaomiao's regular inspections, the difficulties encountered in life and work, and the fun in the busy life.
A united, professional and confident team emerges.
However, netizens' focus has clearly shifted.
"From 'Dog Neck Doomsday': Hey, is there anyone here to pinch me? What kind of celestial life is this, with such great benefits?"
"From 'Wahahaha': Food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all included, even the kids' schools and public transportation... Apart from anything else, just the food aspect, I'm really impressed."
"From 'Love Like Tide': Lord Ye, look at me, look at me! I'm 185cm tall with abs and I'm a college student. I'm not afraid of hard work and can do anything, even warm the bed (shy.jpg)."
"From '呵哒': The abacus upstairs is so loud it almost fell on my face (my sister warming the bed makes me feel better)."
The comments section is getting more and more outrageous. They don’t care about the team or anything like that. The theme only revolves around one thing: the mouth-watering benefits that were inadvertently revealed in the behind-the-scenes footage.
After all, for people struggling to survive the apocalypse, it doesn’t matter whether they eat spiritual food or not. Real food is life-saving food!
And the hungry Lord Ye Miaomiao is more than just a lighthouse in the ocean, he is the lighting lamp in the granary!
#Go hungry and work! # once became a hot search.
