Chapter 223: It's not the same as I imagined
October 11 is an important day.
Today in history.
Merrican has the first female Merrican astronaut to perform a spacewalk.
The demonstration operation line of maglev train in Tianxia Jiangkou City began to be put into operation.
The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
The launch of the Soyuz rocket failed, and the two astronauts escaped safely.
Today, at this time.
Amid protests and riots by thousands of alien enthusiasts, alien boycotts, and rioters, delegations from various countries entered the United Nations building for an important meeting on the topic of "extraterrestrial civilizations."
The level of this meeting is quite high, and the response to the event is also very important, which is a "special session of emergency".
Such meetings are normally convened when a threat to the peace, a breach of the peace, or an act of aggression has been committed, and is convened within 24 hours of receipt by the Secretary-General of a request for the convening of an emergency special session by the affirmative vote of any nine members, or upon notification by a majority of the States Members of the United Nations by his or her vote in favour of the Interim Committee or otherwise, or by a majority of the Member States in favour of the meeting.
So it doesn't make sense to say "it's been a long time before the meeting" out there, and according to the UN process, the meeting is already quite fast.
The meeting was held in the General Assembly Hall, which was a very large conference room with nearly 2,000 seats, and it was a very popular place.
Here today are the representatives of States, the integrated delegations of informed and major Powers, the President of the General Assembly, the Secretary-General, the Deputy Secretary-General, representatives of the special agencies, other senior officials, media personnel and members of the public.
It's been a long time since the Great Hall has been so lively, or when it's busy, it may not be a good thing.
This is the sign of what they are going to discuss this time.
Tang Chao sat in the front row of the Tianxia delegation, because he belonged to the important figures of the delegation, and there was also an arrangement for speaking on the stage in the afternoon.
Now speaking on the floor are the Merrican guys, who have had three people speaking in a row, each over 10 minutes.
The first one, in particular, was made for more than 30 minutes.
Mainly a group of their chicken thieves, who came up and told the information received by the probe with factual evidence, explaining the entire "alien incident".
But those things were also received by other informed countries, and they said it, and other informed countries said that it would be okay if they didn't say it.
Let's just say that it is a waste of time, and it will also make statements that the representatives of other countries think are meaningless.
Let's not talk about it, that's what I do when I come to the meeting by myself, and I don't even have "participation".
"Participation" is very important now, and on the United Nations side, the more "participation" there is, the more likely it is to take ownership of something.
But now that Merrican has said all this, other informed countries can only say something slightly different when they make reports, such as the time of receipt and the location of the coordinates.
After saying this, I would like to add the phrase "the others are the same as what the representative of Merrican said".
Sure enough, even if Merrican agrees to cooperate, the final result is not expected to be equal cooperation.
And Tang Chao also found an interesting thing, that is, the people from the Merrican delegation, they are...... So unique.
Other delegations wore very formal attire, mostly suits, but a few wore the traditional attire of their own countries, such as the representatives of some African countries, some of which were indistinguishable from bare, but which also showed respect for the United Nations.
But Merriken's delegation was different, perhaps because they didn't have to go abroad, and their clothes were fancy and looked similar to those of the protesters outside.
The most important thing is the speakers, except for the one at the beginning, who is from the Merrican Space Agency, dressed in formal clothes, and the reporting process is also clean and clean, although it is thirty minutes, but thirty minutes and a second are not wasted, and what is said is all dry goods.
Ahem, of course, I also said dry goods from other countries.
But it did save time.
But since that man, there have not been many people who have gone up behind the Merrican delegation.
Like the person who is speaking at the top right now, he is introduced as a "social activist......
What does this have to do with the Conference of Extraterrestrial Civilizations?!
As a result, it really has a lot to do with it.
"As an ethnologist, I have studied all the races on the planet, there are countless races on our planet, and there is no superiority or inferiority in all races, we are all equal."
"We all live here in harmony, so the arrival of aliens is nothing more than one more race, and even if they come, it is impossible to have more than 8 billion people."
"Even if we vote according to the number of people, we will still play the leading role, so we are still human, here we are still the earth, and after a while, those aliens will become "human". ”
"Wouldn't it be great if we could go straight into the interstellar age with the help of their technology? So why should we hate aliens, we are all part of the universe......
After listening to half of it, Tang Chao couldn't listen to it, what is this, this kind of talk is just a fool on the Internet, how can you say it in such a place?
When he frowned, a permanent staff member of the United Nations next to him said to him: "Mr. Tang, this is the United Nations, and it is also Merrican, and their tradition is that anyone can express their opinion, although it ...... Nothing to use. ”
Got it.
After being mentioned by professionals, Tang Chao looked at the area of the Merriken delegation and already knew that those people were actually no different from those protesters outside.
The only difference is that these people are relatively well-known in their "field" of study.
However, he feels that the second half of the professional's sentence is the point, "This is also Merrican, and their tradition is that anyone can have their own opinion, although ...... Nothing to use. ”
The premise of this should be that the Merriken people themselves say themselves.
If it's people from other countries, if they want to say bad things about Merrican, it's probably a situation of "I'm sorry, I won't stop you from entering the United Nations, but you don't meet Merrican's entry criteria now, I can't issue you a visa".
Sure enough, he then saw "scientists whose research directions are not recognized by the mainstream", "high-level leaders of alien enthusiast organizations", "military personnel who retired because of bad deeds", "gamers who play science fiction games very well", and so on.
Tang Superman was stupid, he originally thought that this was just the team configuration in the Merrican movie, but he didn't expect it to be like this in reality.
It's really doing whatever you want.
The professional next to him told him that the first day was like this, setting the tone of the meeting at first, and then giving some people a chance to speak, but it was only one morning.
From the afternoon, there is a high probability that these people will not appear here again, and then there will be a more professional analysis and discussion session.
So these people can appear here in order to gag some people's mouths.
"The work of the United Nations is really not good."
Tang Chao sighed when he heard this.
"Who's to say it's not," the professional whispered, "Human society is not a swarm of bees that simply divide labor according to work, but a super-complex society composed of 8 billion humans with different ideas." ”
There are not a few people like them who sneak fish and chat on the scene.
It can't be helped, and the views of those on stage are also of interest to the protesters outside.
However, Tang Chao has gained knowledge.
At the same time, it is also understood that there is a high probability that there will not be some kind of unified government on the earth.
Things like the Earth Federation, the Human Alliance, and so on, eight billion people, or even tens of billions of people in the future, one person has one idea, everyone has their own interests, if this can be unified together, it will be really magical.
Just like now, looking for an "unknown Mars rover" has to hold a half-day meaningless meeting first, and then start the real meeting in the afternoon, which is no one else's efficiency.
If you think about Tianxia again, it is really not easy to run a country of 1.4 billion people like that.
There is a good comparison object next to it, the same 1.4 billion people, and it is even more difficult to compare.
