"The eightieth ecological habitat built by humans in Mars will be officially completed in October 2121. This year marks the centenary of human migration to Mars and the continuation of human civilization. This year's key projects include..."
"0307, stop watching TV and come eat." A woman said while swiping on a tablet in the kitchen.
"Mom, I don't want to eat. I don't like eating the same energy source every day."
A boy is lying on the sofa complaining, "Tomorrow is my birthday, can I go out to play? It's been a long time since I went out to play."
"Your dad and I are both busy, and your dad is still on a business trip. Tomorrow, mom will accompany you to find other 0307s, okay?"
"Mom, why am I called 0307?"
"Because, anyone born on March 7th is called 0307."
"How do you differentiate then?"
"Just scan the palm's QR code."
"Oh..."
0307's parents are both scientists, living in the most mature ecological habitat of Mars. Here, there are smart houses, virtual ecological forests, and a constant supply of low-impurity artificial oxygen, which is the lifelong dream residence for other Mars people. However, 0307 is still not happy. Tomorrow is his eighteenth birthday, and something that has been brewing in his mind for a long time, he has finally made up his mind to do.
At 9:00 in the evening, this is the unified power outage time on Mars because of limited electricity supply. Lighting is only available from 3:00 in the afternoon to 9:00 in the evening. After 21:00, it's all darkness. 0307 knew that his opportunity had come. The house was pitch black, with only the QR code in his hand emitting a faint glow. He had already scoped out the route. One step, two steps, three steps, 0307 held his breath and quietly made his way to his father's study. His ultimate goal was the safe behind the study, where he knew there were many treasures hidden. His father never allowed him to open it, and rarely even allowed him into the study. Today, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he had to seize it.
"Please enter the password," the smart safe said.
The boy confidently entered "0307," and with a "clunk," the door opened. It was surprisingly easy, but he wasn't happy at all because it was empty inside, with only a lock partially blocking another layer of deeper mechanism. 0307 gently pushed it, and a dazzling white light covered him. With a cry of "Ah," 0307 disappeared.
After the white light in front of him disappeared, 0307 woke up in the middle of a desert, surrounded by scorching hot yellow sand. He couldn't see ahead or find a way out, and the QR code in his hand kept reminding him "no signal." Terrified by the situation, he cried out for "0501, 1007, where are you? Mom, Dad." The scorching sunlight mercilessly beat down on him, causing his skin to peel. He buried his hands and feet deep in the hot sand, but it was no use as the sand was just as hot inside. Refusing to give up, he reached deeper and felt a coolness. "The sand below is wet, there's water! There's water! There's water below! Dad taught me that if the sand becomes wet and hard, it means there's water. He said where there's water, there's life!" 0307 became excited again. He buried his whole body in the sand, unable to move, and waited for the sun to set. Unaware of how much time had passed, his consciousness began to blur, and as night finally arrived, he fell into a deep, uncontrollable sleep. What 0307 didn't know was that less than 100 meters away, there was a wooden house, and the people inside were dreaming on a wide bed. But at that moment, they were unaware of each other's existence.
