"What's the point of celebrating holidays?"
The sixth satellite city.
Snow fell and silver frost covered the ground.
The mechanical army belonging to Xu Yi, under the control of Ai Lei, completely conquered the entire city.
The silvery-white snowflakes blurred the ruins in the city, making it difficult to see their details. Only the edge outlines were vaguely visible in the snow.
Looking from a distance.
It's like everything is back to the way it was before.
High-rise buildings stand tall and civilization is restored.
But Ai Lei knew that this was a false illusion. The Federation had already perished, and the human civilization belonging to this planet would never return.
therefore.
The machine servant was puzzled by Xu Yi's behavior.
Under the snowy night sky, Xu stood under the lamp, using a sharp carving knife to carefully carve special decorations for the New Year.
"Ailei, what do you think festivals are?"
“The culture that has evolved over human history is a special time point for everyone to have fun together.”
The robot servant's voice paused slightly.
The delicate facial features present a humanized puzzlement.
"You are the only one in the current Sixth Satellite City. You don't have to follow the rules of the old era."
useless.
burden.
burden.
Ai Lei didn't understand what the point of continuing the festivals of the old times was in an empty city and on a planet with extinct civilization.
"Ellie, I'm not the only one here."
"And you're with me, aren't you?"
"and--"
“The reason for celebrating festivals is not necessarily to celebrate something or have special meaning.”
"If I have to give a reason, I think it might be the sense of ritual."
"This desolate doomsday reminds me that I am still human."
Xu Yi smiled.
I cut out two pieces of the Chinese character "Fu" and asked the robot servant to help paste them on the entrance of the courtyard.
The robot servant seemed to understand, but did as he was told.
"Man, I'm done."
"That's great, Ellie."
Ailei blinked her silver-blue eyes and found that she seemed to like festivals a little.

It is the thirteenth year since Xu Yi came to the Federation Planet.
Due to long-term research on science and technology, in order to relieve physical and mental fatigue, he took his loyal mechanical servant, boarded the anti-force starship, and came to a turbulent sea to fish.
"Eilei, watch out."
“Fishing is a technical job.”
"The force and angle of casting, the choice of bait, the thickness of the fishing line, etc."
“These are extremely cumbersome contents.”
Xu Yi talked while fishing.
Ai Lei looked at the undulating blue sea, then looked at the empty water tank, and asked a soul-searching question: "Mr. Fish, where are your fish?"
“…”
The scene fell into dead silence.
In order to break the deadlock and make his beloved happy, the robot made a bold decision.
While Xu was concentrating on fishing, Ailei secretly released the intelligent machine underwater.
The right time.
In the deep sea.
A ferocious sea fish was caught and thrown out of the sea with a robotic arm, and it fell onto the deck of the starship.
"Hey, here's your fish," Ai Lei trotted and put the fish into Xu's fishing tank.
"Uh...thank you, Elle."

Expedition to the starry sea, explore the universe, and recycle civilization.
A time span that is unimaginable for ordinary people.
The loyal mechanical servant accompanied Xu Yi year after year.
"Hey, this is the tonic soup for the day."
