Chapter 438

Forty years after the appearance of Cherry Blossom

The last moon landing did not change the nature of the whole world. The popularity of cherry blossom will not change because of the moon landing, but it has attracted a small number of astronomy enthusiasts to settle in Donghai City, which is a good achievement.

The antagonism between Donghai city and other parts of the world has not changed.

There is no point in provoking collective shame.

How many days can this shame last? One day, two days, one month, or two months? Can we turn collective shame into motivation? If human beings really change something because of shame, human beings will not be human.

Over the years, Zhang Yuan has been quietly leading the team to carry out manned space. His biggest goal is to send the astronauts back to the moon, and even restart the operation procedures of the lunar base.

Life is very hard, or never so hard.

First of all, the first small goal is to put people into low earth orbit and circle the earth.

The second small goal is to send people to the aviation city of synchronous orbit. The aviation city, 36000 kilometers above the ground, has been steadily rotating around the earth, and there are still some machines on it that can be started.

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 can help to produce various parts, Zhang Yuan has to make his own drawings and equations.

There is little talent reserve, there has always been cynicism from the outside world, and there is no salary in this society. We all do it with enthusiasm.

But

An unfortunate thing happened.

This time the manned space rocket, launch failure!

Four astronauts in this disaster, into a raging fire, disappeared in the distant sky, only took a minute! In mid air, it seems to be able to hear the cry of despair of these astronauts.

Zhang Yuan, who is watching at the observatory, falls to the ground. This disaster is too big to bear. Donghai Aerospace City, which has just made a little progress, is bound to suffer a devastating blow!

Zhang Yuan has been lying in bed for three days. It's not that he is not strong enough, but that he clearly knows what it means to fail in this rocket launch.

Several relatives kept crying in front of the hospital bed, thinking that Zhang Yuan was going to die soon In other words, all their plans died in one minute.

……

"Ha ha, failed, they finally failed!"

"Even the ancestors didn't want them to go to the moon."

"I knew they couldn't make it!"

Corresponding to this, the outside world is like a tsunami of schadenfreude and ridicule. When they do not work hard, often see the efforts of other people, but also a kind of suffering. This group of people have been waiting for this chance to ridicule. Some even say that these astronauts "deserve it" and "die well"!

In the face of this kind of abuse, Donghai city is full of clouds. The citizens are full of doubt, fear and mutual distrust. They begin to question whether the work of the space city is valuable.

The original hero of Donghai city has become the object of being spurned. If it wasn't for the protection of robots, Zhang Yuan, who was lying on the hospital bed, might even be killed alive by the mob!

A large number of astronauts left in the fierce abuse, even family and friends did not support them to continue to work.

They put themselves into their career with a cavity of blood, but after this disaster, the blood dissipated, and the heart of the people naturally dissipated.

The engineer endured the pain and checked for a long time, but found that a screw had not been tightened, and the person in charge of this aspect had already run away. The whole incident was full of signs of conspiracy theory

After getting up from the hospital bed, he sat in front of the office again, quietly in a daze, secretly blaming himself for not being more meticulous in personnel selection and not being more aware of his work.

"I'm sorry."

Since the successful landing of the lunar probe, it has indeed attracted many talents from all over the world. But man is not as good as nature. With this explosion, everything is in vain.

……

In the forty second year, just two years, the population of Donghai City dropped by 30%!

This city has been attacked by populism. Populism requires people to take the lead and constantly hammer others to gain their own sense of superiority. But now that the manned space project has failed and the heroes have fallen to the altar, people's hearts will naturally disperse. Many of the original residents simply left the tarnished city.

Because of the rapid decline of 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.

When these immigrants occupy the population advantage, they can vote to amend the law and remove "Cherry Blossom" from the list of prohibited items.In this way, the "regional advantage" that Donghai people are proud of will naturally disappear.

Zhang Yuan had to turn his attention to this aspect and re participated in the ideological struggle.

But this time, it's much more difficult than the last one. People no longer trust Zhang Yuan, the chief designer of space engineering.

……

In the 47th year, with more and more people coming from other places, the contradictions within the city became more and more intense, and more and more people were fighting and breaking the law. This was totally unimaginable in the past.

In fact, these people are just here to make trouble. They just want to vote to erase the last city on earth that forbids "Cherry Blossom" from the world, that's all.

Zhang Yuan never thought that human nature in the world would be so evil. Maybe they just feel that they are just?

Want more people to enjoy more joy?

The whole vote has been launched three times, but this time, there are too many people from outside to "join in the fun" and there is no way to stop it.

In a notice issued by the robot, it read as follows: [according to the voting results, the number of affirmative votes is 513453, the number of abstaining votes is 40998, and the number of negative votes is 40988. "Cherry Blossom" will be removed from class B prohibited items Its composition is 】

after voting, the law has been amended, and robots will no longer restrict human beings from using "Cherry Blossom". There are some irrational anger, local people began to set fire to smash things, and then they were arrested by robots and sent to prison.

In the face of this situation, Zhang Yuan can only stand up and appeal to everyone to treat the final result rationally.

"Ladies and gentlemen Maintain self-respect and self love, even if the law does not restrain us, we can also restrain ourselves. "

However, the real fact is In fact, Zhang Yuan does not believe in self-discipline.

It's too hard.

Finally, several of Zhang Yuan's companions are weeping and wiping their tears, trying to accept the final truth.

People on the street celebrating the opening of cherry blossoms were lined up, cheering and shouting wildly, declaring the coming of the era of personal freedom.

They cried out: "the last evil city, also ushered in real freedom!"

Freedom!

Corresponding to this, is a small group of people quietly cry, no one knows, no one to pay attention to.
