Chapter Seventy-Six: The Development of Science and Technology Has a Long Way to Go
The human biological clock is very strong, and if you set an alarm for half past six every day at work, as long as it lasts for a long time, your biological clock will remember this time.
Even if you are excited to think that you can sleep in on the weekend and turn off the alarm before bed, you will still wake up at about half past six.
Then two scenarios arise.
One is to go to sleep with a confused face, and the other is that I can't sleep anymore.
The earth is spherical, the sunlight can only reach half of it, and it keeps turning, and when you go far away, after you go from one continent to another, your biological clock will be a little out of order, and you need to reverse jet lag.
However, human beings are also very adaptable and can quickly turn upside down.
After a good night's sleep, they get used to the local time.
Still younger, a little more adaptable.
However, adaptation is adaptation, but there are still two or three days before the meeting, and there are many attractions in this Olaido City, which is a good place to travel.
What Universal Studios, Enchanted Park, Super Playground, Sea World, Lake Park, Art Museum, Wetland Sanctuary, etc., as well as the Moon Space Center that interests them the most, can all be played.
But they don't want to go out and wander around, so it's useless to see or have fun.
They are not like the Merrikens who yearn for heaven, and they have a group of them.
Many of Merrican's own research institutes have shown that there are a lot of people here who are not tested, and a large number of infected people are wandering outside, and in this unknown situation, they can't go out without going out.
Even in the hotel, they do not relax their self-protection, their hands are often washed here, and the disinfectant is often sprayed.
Another reason for not wanting to go out is that the protesters outside have not only not dispersed, but are also gathering in large numbers.
Every time someone comes in and out, they shout a wave, and their emotions are getting more and more excited.
According to local news and videos and photos on some online social platforms, the owner of a well-known aerospace company was thrown eggs when he came in, and his clothes were covered with egg wash.
The police saw the attacker, but when they wanted to arrest someone, they caused a riot and a crowd of people who gathered to let the attacker slip away.
Not only did they not catch it, but they also caused a commotion.
In the chaos, the police pushed some people to the ground, and these people directly sued the police who were maintaining law and order at the time, accusing them of discriminating against themselves.
"Why don't you push others, why do you push me, this is discrimination!"
"I'm going to sue them, I'm going to make them compensate me for my medical bills, and I'm going to compensate for my mental loss."
The news spread very fiercely, and it was all on the hot search, and it can be regarded as a publicity for the Moon Grand Prix from the side.
Although in the eyes of Tang Chao and others, this is not positive publicity.
In order to deal with the increasing number of protesters, the police also increased their manpower, but this behavior of "adding more water and noodles, and adding more water to noodles" made Tang Chao and others even less inclined to go out.
They intend to stay at the hotel until the end of the meeting.
Fortunately, it is not boring in the hotel, as more and more teams arrive to sign in, Tang Chao and others can be regarded as an eye-opener.
Yes, if you can't get out, you can just watch others sign in on the second floor of the hall.
Some people stayed directly at the hotel, while others stayed elsewhere and came to check in and activate their official qualifications.
Some small teams only have one person, while some large teams, or large local companies, have directly come with a bunch of people.
Obviously, these big companies come for a different purpose than their small teams, and if you just sit down, you don't need so many people.
Later, the official of the Merriken Space Agency also came, and there were many people who came.
It is also because of the arrival of these big groups and officials that the wave of protests outside is getting higher and higher.
The hotel will hold a meeting to discuss the possibility of commercial aerospace, paving the way for the commercial team to explore the moon, which is the most cutting-edge scientific and technological exploration of mankind.
Outside, there are waves of anti-tech protests, resisting lunar exploration, demanding the truth, believing that the tech giants are going to build spaceships and run away, throwing eggs at space company executives, and even trying to beat people from the space agency.
It's an amazing sight.
Think about what it was like fifty or sixty years ago, and what it is now, those old Merriken people who experienced the first human landing on the moon should not think of this day.
At that time, people seemed to be already looking forward to life on Mars.
This is really a period and a road, and each period has its own mission.
But think about it, scientists tell politicians that going to the moon can make scientific and technological progress, politicians will not think so, if scientists say that going to the moon can make the whole world know the greatness of Merrican, then politicians will definitely increase their efforts to engage in scientific research.
Just like at the beginning, the prototype of the rocket was a missile used to blow up cities, and scientists built a carrier rocket in the name of building an intercontinental missile, and then there was later manned spaceflight, and then there was the scene of human beings walking out of the earth.
After human beings walked out of the earth, the top brass and the military began to install weapons on spacecraft, because they wanted to get research funds before, scientists said so.
"Space battleships are invincible."
What are you doing with weapons?
When someone beats me, I have to fight back.
Why do people hit you?
Who knows, probably to prevent me from hitting him.
This is outrageous, but it is also realistic.
Because this kind of distrust between people is a long-term survival experience inherited by special human beings.
Even if it is Tang Chao, when his spacecraft is in the sky and his space base is built, he will install some weapons and call these things "defensive devices".
As for why?
Because he is not a little green man in Kanxing, he is an earthling, and this is his state of existence.
It's like he keeps up with the deal, he has to show that he is harmless first, but he can't just take out everything.
It's also like before he came to Merrican, he made a lot of preparations in Canxing, just to deal with various emergencies.
And human civilization is developing and advancing under this tangled mood of both cooperation and defense, just like what he has seen in the past few days.
Fortunately, there is also something to be happy about, that is, when you meet your fellow countrymen in other places, after all, between the same camp, there is still relatively more trust.
He met a team of all-teacher teachers and a team of amateur scientists.
The team of teachers usually only teaches students how to behave, but this time they plan to play it themselves, and they also happen to give a demonstration to the students.
Amateur scientists are because they studied aerospace before, but after graduation, they did not work in related units or companies, but did other jobs.
This Moon Grand Prix brought their dreams back, so they came together to launch their dreams on the moon.
Their ideals for participation are quite normal, and when they asked Tang Chao, Tang Chao also felt that he was normal.
"Our team is full of game nerds, and we also want to go to the moon!"
Two teams: "......"
"Ahem, what, people still have to have dreams."
"Yes, yes, yes, dreams don't matter how high or low, anyway, it's just a slogan."
Tang Chao had to explain, they were all serious people.
The team is also professional and technical personnel, and games are hobbies, after all, people who can only play games come to participate in this kind of space conference, which can only be a shame.
Of course, they also really want to justify the name of the game, and the game is also different.
Don't frown at the sight of the game.
