Chapter 81: Changes in Self-Perception
Case!
Outside the Seaton Hotel, there are all kinds of police lights, there are police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks.
Among them, there are the most police cars, more than a dozen, making this place a world of red and blue.
A cordon was set up at the scene, and there were onlookers all around, and the onlookers were several corpses inside.
The corpse was full of bullet holes, and the closer it was to the hotel, the more bullet holes there were on the body, and the one at the door of the hotel directly became a sieve.
The body farthest from the hotel had only two bullet holes, which had been fired with a police pistol.
The two bodies in front of the hotel were riddled with bullet holes because they had been shot with a shotgun.
During this period, the injured police officers and civilians were carried into ambulances, and the constant howling of civilians attracted the attention of the media, and Hula la gathered around them for interviews.
When a reporter interviewed him, the injured immediately stopped howling and began to talk about what he knew and saw, until the doctor chased the reporters away and stuffed the injured into the ambulance.
"Hey, remember to give me the information consultation fee!" When the doctor closed the car door, the injured man tilted his head and shouted to reporters outside the car.
"Bang~Click~"
The car door is locked.
When the wounded were gone, the reporter turned the camera and microphone to the onlookers, hoping to get more information from them, and then directed the camera to shoot at the dead body like a scavenging vulture.
Of course, the clearest about this are the police who first discovered the situation and had direct contact with the gunman, and the security guards who fired the gun later.
However, the security guards did not confront the gunman at the first time, and they used shotguns to fight guns, which was not interesting.
Or the police with pistols against the pistol have a topic.
Although the injured police officers were taken to the hospital, there were several others at the scene.
Although the police were disciplined and could not say much, it was Merriken, and after the reporter hinted that there was a press consultation fee, they received some news from "people on the scene who did not want to be named".
"I smell the smoke of the leaves."
"The gunman may have hallucinated."
"Claim that the meeting is a devil's party."
"Think of yourself as a warrior for justice."
"The gunman doesn't dress like a rich man."
A few key pieces of information are said, and ordinary people may only think of these people sucking leaves and sucking hi, and then this shooting happened.
In Merrican, there are not many shootings caused by this form, after all, there is no distinction between people and animals after hi, and it is not strange to do anything.
Coupled with some unsatisfactory life, it is easy to do extreme things, and if you have a gun at hand, it is too normal for a shooting to happen.
It's also because it's so normal, the media feels that there is a lack of breaking points, maybe every shooting case in a gun ban country is terrifying and topical.
But this is Merrican.
They had to come up with some other ideas to make sure the news was topical enough.
Come to think of it, this is the meeting of the Moon Grand Prix, didn't these people participate in the protest before? If such an incident occurs, it must have something to do with space activities.
It just so happened that some "insiders" came over, and they thought the same thing.
In Merrican, the only superpower on the planet and the center of the world, where all kinds of ideas and information collide and intersect, coupled with the elite and happy dual education model here, it is easy to produce different currents of thought.
It includes the theory of aerospace hazards.
There are really a lot of people who believe in this, and they have always been suspicious of the moon landing, and they want to uncover the conspiracy of spaceflight, and now they are protesting, and they are all these people making trouble.
If there is a market, there will definitely be money to be made.
Where there is money to be made, there is a business.
At this time, Tang Chao and the others had already returned upstairs, and the window of the room where they were located could just see the scene in front of the hotel, and because they had encountered a shooting incident before, Zhang Qin and Zhang Liyan were in his room.
Zhang Qin reported the situation to Chen Jing on the sofa next to him, while Tang Chao and Zhang Liyan stood by the window, looking down with tea.
Tang Chao talked to Chen Jing on the phone just now, and after saying that he was fine, the detailed report was handed over to Zhang Qin.
"Lao Zhang, what do you think of what Teacher Liu said just now?"
Mr. Liu is the oldest one in the teacher team, and he said before, "Do you think that the development of the aerospace industry is just a matter of scientific and technological progress", which caused Tang Chao to think.
Hearing Tang Chao ask this, Zhang Liyan also remembered.
But how to say this, according to what he has seen and heard in the past few years working at Europa Space, the development of the aerospace industry is really not just a matter of scientific and technological progress.
As long as these things are still within the framework of the state, they have to be influenced by the national strategy, and the state is made up of many and mixed human beings, that is, it will be influenced by human beings.
Because human beings have different interests, positions, education levels and information reception levels, their influences are also different.
After listening to Zhang Liyan's answer, in fact, Tang Chao also understood these truths.
Others can only think about this problem from the perspective of the earth and humanity, but he can think outside the box and think about it by comparing the situation of the earth and the planet.
This larger-scale perspective, as well as other civilizations as references, allows him to obtain more and more detailed comparative information.
However, compared to the comparison, this can only be regarded as "literary", and today, he personally experienced a "martial arts".
He had also heard about it, and although there was a catalytic effect of leaf smoke here, the protesters had been shouting here for days, and he had seen and heard it with his own eyes.
Martin even told him that there was "business" here, but he could be regarded as seeing that some people did not understand aerospace.
From the day of the birth of aerospace to the present, it has been played by a very small group of elites.
Ordinary people, not even ordinary countries, are out of reach.
Don't look at the fact that the current propaganda and popularization of science are so good, it still can't let the general public really understand aerospace and space.
Although the future will be beautiful because of the rise and development of private spaceflight, it will still not be able to shorten the distance between ordinary people and space, and between mankind and space in a short period of time.
If you think about it this way, how idealistic is the main body of this meeting, "bringing the moon closer to us".
The space tourism program actually started twenty years ago, but the cost of non-professional astronauts, that is, those "ordinary people" to go into space, is tens of millions of dollars.
There are tens of millions of dollars that are considered rich people in the world, and those who are willing to spend tens of millions of dollars on space are not ordinary rich people.
Later, private space companies rose and targeted space tourism as soon as they came.
Claims to make space tourism accessible to real ordinary people.
But until now, no private space company has achieved space tourism at the orbital level.
There are those that have been lowered a little.
For example, suborbital flight.
It is to fly to the "Kármán line" altitude of almost 100 kilometers by taking a flying machine, and you can basically touch the edge of space, and the flight trajectory is a large parabola, which can be experienced...... 5 minutes of weightlessness.
The price is much cheaper than real orbital-class space tourism.
It's very affordable, only $250,000.
There is also atmospheric edge flight.
Fly to an altitude of more than 20 kilometers in a military fighter, a place where the air is thin and unattainable by civilian aircraft. Being a step further away from the Earth, visitors can see the graceful arc of the Earth and the immaculate starry sky.
This one is cheaper at $10,000.
And then there's the parabolic flight.
Parabolic flight on a specially modified transport plane is actually a kind of astronaut training method, each parabola can experience a half-minute weightlessness state, and astronauts have to carry out this weightlessness training after entering space.
Just a few thousand dollars.
It's cheap, but it has nothing to do with space, let alone touching the moon.
There is no way, the scientific and technological development of the earth is at this level, unless it is crazy to throw money at any cost like during the Cold War.
Unfortunately, there was no chance.
However, in Tang Chao's opinion, there is another way.
That's himself.
Looking at the flashing red and blue lights below, he began to reflect on what he had done this month.
At the beginning, he himself warned himself not to float.
But in fact, he is not a saint, this kind of thing happened to him, and it is impossible not to float.
What he has done this month really doesn't have any rules, one foot in the east, one foot in the west, and he feels messy.
He didn't know how the revival side analyzed himself, and whether he would lose his hair crazy because of the analysis of his behavior.
But he knew it was time for him to do something down-to-earth.
Fortunately, only a month has passed.
