Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 438: Freedom of evil
The forty years after the appearance of "Sakura"...
The last time the probe landed on the moon did not change the nature of the entire world. The popularity of sakura will not change because of the moon landing, but tepidly attracted a small group of astronomy enthusiasts to settle in Donghai City, which is already considered a good achievement.
The confrontation between Donghae City and other parts of the world has not changed.
causes the collective shame of mankind, and it doesn’t make any sense.
How many days can this shame last? One day, two days, one month, or two months? Is it possible to turn collective shame into motivation? If human beings really change something out of shame, human beings are not human beings.
Over the years, Zhang Yuan has been quietly leading the manned spaceflight. His biggest goal is to send astronauts to the moon again, and even restart the lunar base operation procedures.
It’s been a hard life, or in other words, it’s never been so hard.
The first small goal is to send people into low-Earth orbit in space and make a circle around the earth.
The second small goal is to send people to the aviation city on synchronous orbit. At a distance of 36,000 kilometers from the ground, the Aviation City has been steadily revolving around the earth, and there are still some machines above it that can be activated.
These two small goals have been completed in the past few years. After accumulating some experience, the final big goal is to land on the moon.
These years have been very hard. Although robots will help produce various parts and components, Zhang Yuan has to do all the drawings and equations by himself.
There is very little reserve of relevant talents, and there is always cynicism from the outside world. There is no such thing as salary in this society. Everyone is doing this with enthusiasm.
But...
An unlucky thing happened.
This time the manned space rocket failed to launch!
Four astronauts turned into flaming flames in this disaster and disappeared into the distant sky, it only took a minute! The desperate cry of these astronauts could be heard in mid-air.
Zhang Yuan, who was watching from the observatory, fell to the ground. This disaster was too big and unbearable. The Donghai Aerospace City, which had just improved a little, was bound to suffer a devastating blow. !
Zhang Yuan has been lying in bed for three days. It is not that he is not strong enough, but that he clearly knows what it means for the rocket launch this time to fail.
Several relatives kept crying in front of the hospital bed, thinking that Zhang Yuan was about to die...or, all their plans died within this minute.
……
"Haha, failed, they finally failed!"
"Even their ancestors don't want them to go to the moon."
"I knew that they could not succeed!"
corresponds to the tsunami-like gloat and ridicule from the outside world. When I don't work hard, I often see other people's efforts, which is also a kind of suffering. This group of people waited hard, and finally waited for the opportunity given by heaven to mock them. Some even said that these astronauts “deserve it” and “dead well”!
In the face of this kind of verbal abuse, Donghai City is full of clouds, and the citizens are full of doubt, fear, and mutual distrust, and they begin to question whether the work of the Aerospace City is worthwhile.
The original hero of Donghai City has become the object of being spurned. If it were not for the protection of the robot, Zhang Yuan lying in the hospital bed might even be beaten to death by the mob!
A large number of astronauts left amid fierce abuse, and even their relatives and friends did not support them to continue working.
They themselves were devoted to their careers with passion, but this time after the disaster, the blood was gone, and the hearts of the people were naturally gone.
The engineer endured the pain for a long time, and after investigating for a long time, he discovered that a certain screw had not been tightened, and the person in charge of this aspect had run away. The whole incident was full of signs of a conspiracy theory...
The huge blow this time made Zhang Yuan white head overnight. After he got up from the hospital bed, he sat in front of the office again, quietly in a daze, secretly blaming himself for not being more careful in employing people, and why not in work. Be more aware.
"I'm sorry."
Since the lunar probe landed successfully, it has indeed attracted many talents from all over the world. But people are not as good as the sky. With this explosion, everything is wasted.
……
In the forty-second year, in just two years, the population of Donghai City has dropped by 30%!
This city has been countered by populism. Populism requires someone to take the lead and constantly hammer others to gain one's own superiority. But now that the manned space project has failed, the hero has fallen to the altar, and the hearts of the people are naturally scattered. Many original residents simply left this tarnished city.
Due to the rapid decline in population, many clowns in other cities have a chance to take advantage of it. They are calling on people from other cities to move into Donghai City in large numbers.
When these foreign populations have a demographic advantage, they can vote to amend the law to remove "cherry blossoms" from the list of prohibited items.
In this way, the "geographical advantage" that Donghai people are so proud of naturally disappears.
Zhang Yuan had to turn his attention to this again, and re-participated in the ideological struggle.
This time, it was much more difficult than the last time. The people no longer trust him, Zhang Yuan, the chief designer of aerospace engineering.
……
In the forty-seventh year, due to the increasing number of foreign populations, the contradictions within the city have become more and more intense. There have been more and more people fighting and breaking the law. This was completely unimaginable in the past. .
In fact, these people are purely here to make trouble. They just want to vote to erase the last city on the earth that bans "cherry blossoms" from this world, that's all.
Zhang Yuan never thought that the human nature in the world would be so evil, maybe they just feel that they are righteous?
Want more people to enjoy more joy?
The whole vote has been launched 3 times, but this time, there are so many people from outside who "join in the fun"~IndoMTL.com~ that there is no way to stop it anymore.
In an announcement issued by a robot, it read: [According to the results of this voting, the number of votes in favor is 513,453, the number of abstentions is 40,998, and the number of votes against it is 40,988. "Sakura" will be removed from Class B prohibited items... Its ingredients are...]
The vote was passed, the law was revised, and robots will no longer restrict humans from using "cherry blossoms." Some irrational and angry local citizens set fire to smash things, then were picked up by robots and sent to prison.
Faced with this situation, Zhang Yuan can only stand up and call on everyone to treat the final result rationally.
"Everyone...keep your self-esteem and self-love. Even if the law does not restrict us, you can also restrict yourself."
However, the real fact is...the general situation is gone,
Zhang Yuan actually doesn't believe in so-called self-discipline.
This is too difficult.
Finally, several companions who followed Zhang Yuan, crying, wiping tears, and trying to accept the final facts.
The people on the street celebrating the opening of the "cherry blossoms" were full of long lines. They cheered and yelled enthusiastically, proclaiming that the era of personal freedom had come in full.
They shouted loudly: "The last evil city has ushered in true freedom!"
freedom!
Corresponding to this is a small group of people crying quietly, no one knows, and no one pays attention to it.
