Chapter 338: The Final Reversal

The sudden landing on the moon in country Z made the originally lively general election of country M silent and cooled down in an instant.

The attention of hundreds of millions of people in M country is all on the moon.

It's also an opportunity.

This is also a rare opportunity for the scientific community of country M, an opportunity to speak out in the media and popularize science.

Many well-known scientists and aerospace experts appeared in the media to explain to the public:

"Honestly, it's going to take at least five to 10 years for us to build a space shuttle like Feitian. We have not yet conquered the high specific impulse detonation engine technology; High-energy battery technology, we are far behind; With the high-thrust Hall engine technology, we are on par with the Z country...... Overall, we can't build that advanced space shuttle. ”

"I have to admit that in science and technology, country Z has surpassed us, this is a cruel fact, and it is also a shame for the scientific community of country M, and we should bear a lot of responsibility! But what we should do now is to increase investment in research and development, and strive to recapture our moon in three to five years! Instead of chattering and finally finding ourselves standing still. ”

"In the last century, our Apollo moon landing program, we successfully landed six groups of astronauts on the moon and brought back hundreds of kilograms of lunar soil, but this time, the Feitian of country Z, just one trip, can bring back 1 ton of lunar soil, they landed on the moon once, equal to the sum of our past, and the cost is only one thousandth of ours. Their success puts us to shame. What's even more sad is that we can't do it yet. ”

"Enough! Stop kidding yourself! Technology is definitely not stolen, even if it is to give us the information of an alien spaceship, we have to build the same spaceship in decades, admit that the people of country Z are excellent, they are better than us now, we should start learning from them! Our technological development has been stagnant for more than 30 years, and we have even lost the ability to land on the moon, and if we continue to be so obsessed, we will lose everything. ”

"The people of country Z are already a lot ahead of us, and they can't anesthetize themselves with lies anymore! We must concentrate our efforts and fight to catch up! ”

“……”

On the television media, scientists stated the current grim situation in an extremely serious tone.

On the Internet, Tom Bruce and others seized the opportunity to take action one after another, asking various thought-provoking questions:

"Can a person who only knows plagiarism get a perfect score on an independent exam?"

"Look at that space shuttle from country Z, can we build it right away?"

"Do you believe in scientists, or do you trust politicians who are full of lies?"

"Is slandering others an excuse for not working hard?"

“……”

In public opinion, a large wave of rational voices began to raise their heads, driving a large wave of people to think rationally.

But it was presidential candidate Longfro's speech that ultimately had a big impact.

He said earnestly:

"I know there's one thing that's very painful, very painful for everybody."

"It's about admitting that you're inferior to others."

"Even me, I can't accept this fact, and I'm also very painful. I can't sleep every night, unwilling to accept the rise of country Z. ”

"But facts do not shift by human will."

"There are reasons for the rise of country Z, their energy has been focused on economic development for decades, they have invested a lot of resources in infrastructure construction, invested in scientific research, they have been working hard for decades, they have not wasted any national strength anywhere, and finally blossomed and bore fruit."

"Of course, we are also working very hard, my colleagues and friends around me are working hard, and we will never be inferior to the people of country Z."

"But look at what we've done over the years?"

"Wars, wars all over the world, there are our people in country M, we have burned more than a dozen trillion knives, but what we have gained more is hatred, we rushed into a country with great momentum, and finally withdrew silently, we have nothing to gain."

"We should have invested more in science and technology, but that money turned into machine guns and shells."

"We should have improved our infrastructure, but that money was used to intervene in other countries."

"We went to the primeval jungles of Africa to fight terror, and the extreme terrorist ideology has penetrated into country M."

"We have been dealing with international affairs in a way that is not in the mouth of a bull; We are using the thinking of the 18th century to maintain our hegemony. ”

"It is precisely because we have done too many stupid things that we have wasted too much national strength."

"Because of this, the people of country Z have surpassed us."

"The hegemony of country M is weakened, and the root of our becoming the second in the world is on our own heads."

"At this time, there are still people who fantasize that with their fists, they will invest precious resources in tanks and artillery to take back what we have lost."

"The problem is that we can't even handle a small country, so how can we have the confidence to defeat a big country?"

"What's more, now there are a lot of friends in country Z, the whole world is currying favor with country Z, we are getting fewer and fewer friends, and our closest allies are turning their backs on us, who is deceiving us with the certainty of victory?"

"Don't go down the wrong path again!"

"There is no eternal empire, no sun that never sets."

"It is more important than everything to take all the resources back into the country, boost the economy, increase investment in science and technology, improve infrastructure, and live your own life!"

After this speech.

On May 28, the final vote began.

……

29th.

Xinghai Building, in the chatting area.

"The results of this year's general election in country M are out!" An executive, who was playing with his mobile phone, suddenly shouted.

"Oh, who was elected?" Chen Jin raised his head slightly and asked.

"Longfreo was elected with 50.6% of the vote, staging a final reversal!" He said.

"How is this possible?"

Ling Jundong stood up and was very surprised: "It is impossible to win more than 20 percentage points of support in a short period of time and double your supporters!" ”

"It shows that Longfro's last speech touched many people, and even I think it makes sense."

Chen Jin shook his head and said: "In fact, in the history of country M, it has experienced many major crises, with an average of economic crises every ten years, and several major depressions, which almost plunged country M into the abyss. ”

"But country M has successfully survived those crises, its national strength has continued to improve, and its hegemony has lasted for a hundred years."

"Why is this happening?"

"I think like our country Z, country M is also a country with strong error correction ability, which can correct its mistakes in time and will not go all the way to the dark on the wrong track."

"In this election, I have seen the ability of country M to correct mistakes, he is still a country that should not be underestimated, his hegemony may be sidelined, but it will remain strong, this planet, they will always have an important seat."

Everyone nodded one after another, and what Mr. Chen said was reasonable.

And only a dozen days have passed.

Xinghai Technology ushered in an important visitor: the chief staff sent by Longfro!
