In a depressing atmosphere, everyone embarked on the road back. Even the bear child Xiaoxin noticed that something was wrong and didn't make a fuss about watching the closing ceremony.

After returning home, the two bodyguards retrieved the guns and re-equipped them.

Gun control in the United States varies from state to state, and California's gun license may not be easy to use outside. If you want to bring a gun to Canada, it will be even more impossible. Therefore, when it comes to personal protection, Qin's bodyguard, who is in kung fu, is more reliable than Fan's bodyguard.

Lin Zhilan's father was really careful, and the Qin bodyguard he sent, a gun license and driver's license in California, and all kinds of documents were readily available.

Lin Yi looked at the heat in his eyes, and just wanted to vent, so he asked the two experts: "What do I need to do to legally own a gun in California?"

"This matter is really not difficult! Even foreign students can legally buy guns, let alone Boss Lin. ”

The Fan bodyguard here has just finished speaking, and the Qin bodyguard over there has already made a list. On the US side, the latter is also a 'foreigner'. So his guidance, Lin Yi can follow it.

"Passport and visa, California driver's license, Boss Lin has all the resources. If you are a lady, you must first get a driver's license. Seeing that Lin Zhilan was also interested, Qin's bodyguard hurriedly added.

Lin Yi looked down: "The I-94 entry and exit form should be used to prove legal entry, this is too simple." ”

"For 3 months, you have to write your own name. There is nothing wrong with this, we have been living here for almost half a year!"

Qin's bodyguard pointed to the last two: "Now, all that remains is to apply for a permit! There are two kinds of firearms permits in California, one is a gun license and the other is a hunting license. ”

"Of course, in addition to that, fill out Form 4473. Then, wait for the FBI to pass the background check. State and federal scrutiny, roughly at the same time. Generally, after ten days, you can legally buy a gun. ”

Lin Yi didn't like this last one very much. I always feel that it is not a good thing to have something to do with the 'relevant departments'!

Fortunately, in the law enforcement agencies, none of them have any arrest records. Even traffic tickets, drunkenness, and trouble, there are no at all, it's really 'only innocent in the world'!

What Fan's bodyguard said is also very important: "Here in the United States, it will be assumed that you are a good person, so you are free to do anything." But it only takes one offense to leave a credit stain on your driver's license and social security number. ”

"Whether it's an application for a gun or a bank loan, personal credit will be reviewed. If there's a stain, it's a lifetime of trouble, because it will follow for life!"

Lin Yi and Xiang Yanghua glanced at each other, and both of them looked like they were apprehensive - they really didn't expect that the consequences of violating traffic rules would be so serious!

Fortunately, the last time I went to the airport to pick up passengers, when Xiaoxin grinded people, they adhered to their principles! Because here in the United States, breaking the law with children is more serious than breaking the law alone.

At this time, Uncle Guan on the side nodded his head when he heard this: "Don't take evil as a small step! Sometimes, you think that you are only taking a small step back, but in fact it is a big step!"

In the ten days of waiting for the gun license, Lin Yi will not be idle. Now that I don't have a gun on me, can I go to the shooting range to practice first? Anyway, shooting clubs are everywhere here.

The person who is most devoted to practice is actually Lin Zhilan, a beautiful girl! She must go to the shooting range to practice guns. It's as if you want to use a hot bullet to crush the dissatisfaction in your heart!

According to Lin Yi's estimate, it may be related to family problems. But this is someone else's privacy, and he won't ask about it.

Anyway, in the shooting range, the beautiful girl will not be alone. Even if no one else goes, Zhen Yingjun, the flower messenger, will never be absent!

Lin Yi and Xiang Yanghua are not keen on gun practice, so they went to the next day. In his free time, Lin Yi took out an outline of the novel and asked everyone to help the staff discuss it.

"The Far Side of the Moon", which is the tentative name of the new novel. The article panders to the views of 'skeptics' and describes the 1969 U.S. moon landing as a hoax. This is the inspiration that Lin Yi was inspired by the Double Hundred National Day.

Of course, in order to catch up with the sci-fi craze, this book is on the far side of the moon, fictionalizing an alien base. And the moon data of the U.S. government is actually a gift from aliens!

When he watched the movie "E.T. Alien" in his previous life, Lin Yi heard that there is a 51 area in the United States, which hides the secrets of aliens. And the more the government debunks the rumors, the more interested the media and the public become.

In addition, Lin Yi can occasionally see such a scene on TV: on the roof of a skyscraper, a group of people raise their arms and send brain waves to the universe to welcome aliens to Earth!

This is the 'alien religion', and there is a collective activity going on. These alien believers are all potential consumers. To cater to them, Far from the Moon needed an alien base.

In the first two months of free time, Lin Yi participated in a writing training class, so his writing ability improved a lot.

Therefore, although "The Far Side of the Moon" is a bit of a hodgepodge in content, the level has been greatly improved in terms of plot conception and suspense creation. Therefore, there are not many opinions that you can give.

However, Uncle Guan is different, he is good at seeing the essence through the phenomenon. When others gave praise, he did not forget the bitter medicine:

"Novels, I also think it's pretty good. But about the American moon landing, whether it was a hoax or not, it should be the goal of human conquest!"

"With the continuous development of science, those things that were impossible will be realized sooner or later. Skepticism can be used as literary material, but it should not be allowed to penetrate our bone marrow. ”

"What we Chinese lack now is confidence, not hesitant skepticism. As a young person, you need to be more vigilant about agnosticism. ”

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, how could Uncle Guan's view of science be the same as that of Sunflower? Could it be ......? He turned his head and looked at the girl.

Seeing Lin Yi look over, as if she had a heart in her heart, Xiang Yanghua shook her head gently, indicating that she didn't tell anyone about the conversation on the Olympic Riverside!

Knowing that this was a coincidence, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief! It seems that this kind of scientific belief can bear similar fruits in the hearts of different people.

========== dividing line =========

During the half-month trip to the Olympics, the newspapers accumulated a thick stack and were waiting for Lin Yi to deal with it. He used his fragmentary time to sift through two important pieces of news -

This is supposed to be a campaign year, and in July, the Democrats and Republicans each put forward their own presidential candidates.

The Democratic Party nominated Jimmy Carter, and Lin Yi knew the name and should be the next president of the United States.

As for the Republican Party, it is the incumbent President Ford who nominees. However, in the local newspapers in California, another name familiar to Lin Yi appeared - Ronald Reagan.

Reagan, who was also a Republican, expressed dissatisfaction with the nomination of President Ford as his party's candidate and announced his candidacy in Los Angeles.

This can confuse Lin Yi, who will be the next president of the Democratic Party Carter and the Republican Reagan?

Lin Yi then reacted: Nixon is also a Republican, and due to the 'Watergate' scandal, both Ford and Reagan will be implicated this time, and there should be no hope of success.

To be honest, as long as you use your brains, even if you don't look at the polls, even Lin Yi, an outsider, can judge that the Republican Party will definitely lose this presidential election!

Then Carter should be the next president of the United States!

Another piece of news is also quite useful - on July 20, the Viking 1 landing ship successfully landed on Mars. On July 31, NASA released the photo of the famous 'Martian face'.

Both public opinion and the public reacted very enthusiastically to the face of Mars. Such a good material, of course Lin Yi wanted to write it into "The Far Side of the Moon".
