Super technology leader

#76 - Protesting crowd

"We are going to be abandoned!!"

"Resist the spaceship faction!!"

"The virus is a conspiracy!!"

"The moon landing is a conspiracy!!"

"Arrest William Bill!!"

"Freedom!!!"

The crowd gathered outside the Seadown Hotel was agitated, chanting slogans in unison, waving various banners and flags. Hundreds of people swarmed, blocking the road outside the hotel.

Seeing that the car couldn't get through, the three found a parking lot nearby and parked the car.

At this time, it's better not to drive forward. Who knows what these people are doing? It's better to get out of the car and observe secretly from behind.

After parking the car, Tang Chao and the others kept their distance from the crowd and strolled around the outside, finding that these people were relatively organized. The slogans were being led by someone, and they didn't block all the roads.

Although cars couldn't pass, people could still move around.

In addition, he also saw the police, who should be maintaining order. The police didn't look nervous, so it seemed that there wasn't a big problem.

But don't worry, we need to observe further.

Tang Chao found that none of these people were wearing masks, and they didn't maintain social distance either, gathering in twos and threes, chanting slogans for a while and then stopping.

After a while, he also discovered the secret to chanting slogans.

When someone walked towards the Seadown Hotel, these people chanted slogans, but when no one was there, they didn't chant.

Seeing this, Tang Chao knew that these people were probably protesting daily, so it was nothing.

People abroad like to do this, whether it's useful or not, they have to shout, and some even treat it as a leisure activity on their days off.

But today is not a day off. Hundreds of people gathered here, obviously for something.

He heard a little meaning in the slogans just now, but not all of it, so he planned to get closer and listen.

There were also many professional journalists and self-media people on the scene who were interviewing the protesters. Tang Chao aimed at one and went over to listen to what they were saying.

"...I knew it, these high-tech companies are all demons. They use mobile phones and cameras to monitor our lives. They are destroying this free country!"

A middle-aged man carrying the American flag was being interviewed. He had a signature big belly and beard, and he was also wearing a hat. He was very emotional.

"Mr. Bob, what do you think of this Moon Landing Grand Prix? What brought you all together here?" the blonde reporter asked.

"It's responsibility, the responsibility of being an American taxpayer. This country is brain dead, all because of these high-tech companies! I lost my job!"

"Ha, you are such a naive reporter, you have been deceived, don't believe them, they can only pass the buck, they are in cahoots with those big companies, they will only restrict our freedom..."

After listening for a while, Tang Chao seemed to have figured out some things, but only some, because he didn't understand some of what they were saying.

It wasn't because he didn't understand English. He had an English teacher at home who taught him hard, so his English was excellent.

It was just that the expression ability of these interviewees made him a little... confused.

Okay, this is actually a traditional American skill, but it wasn't so obvious before, and now it's becoming more and more obvious.

Many Americans don't believe in authority and the government, thinking that they are deceiving everyone. Those people only believe in their own analysis and the guns in their hands.

Who would have thought that questioning the authenticity of the moon landing would be questioned by their own people first, and they wouldn't even believe that the former "enemy country" certified the moon landing as true.

Anyway, they don't believe anyone, and they don't believe in authority, even if it's authoritative. They don't even believe the doctors and police in their own community.

Of course, what they believe in most is themselves and their guns.

In this situation, it is estimated that they have heard some rumors, or they have figured out a little "truth", and then they have called their neighbors to protest.

However, it is not excluded that someone is manipulating behind the scenes, after all, this is America, and there are all kinds of businesses.

For some people, protesting is also a business. If it is operated well, they can earn a lot of money.

Understanding this, Tang Chao and the others didn't stay outside any longer and hurried to the hotel.

The outside was noisy, who knew if there were any potential dangers.

And those protesters who had calmed down a bit started shouting again when they saw someone coming.

"Resist the spaceship faction!!"

"We want freedom!!"

"Expose the space conspiracy!!"

"We want the truth..."

Accompanied by the protests, the three entered the Seadown Hotel. When they entered the lobby, they instantly felt that the noise outside was much smaller.

There was a reception point for the competition committee in the lobby. Tang Chao went over and reported his invitation number to the reception staff. They registered him, and then he got a real official competition number.

Sure enough, although he received the official competition invitation, he could only activate his qualification by signing in at the conference site.

He brought two people, which was allowed by the conference. After such screening, the number of teams that could attend should not be large. If three people come from a team, the scene should look better.

It's just to cheer for the big guys above, and the voice can be louder.

After taking the seat number for the venue three days later, Tang Chao specially asked about the situation outside.

"Will the situation outside have any adverse effects on this conference?"

The receptionist heard the words and looked outside, then smiled and said: "Don't worry, this situation is very common. Whenever there is a large event, some people will gather to protest. They will disperse after the event is over."

"And the police outside have rich experience in dealing with it. They have the authority to shoot in emergency situations. Sir, what I want to say is that America is the safest country in the world, and the security system of the Seadown Hotel is also very good, there will be no problems."

Hearing that the police are experienced and can shoot when necessary, and that America is the safest country in the world, Tang Chao felt uneasy.

Because the more he listened to these words, the more they sounded like setting a flag.

Eh~ He quickly shook his head and threw these thoughts out of his head, said thank you to the staff, and hurried to check in with Zhang Qin and Zhang Liyan.

He should go back to his room and sleep for a while, adjust to the time difference, and adapt to the environment here as soon as possible, so that he can detect any situation in time.

Coming to America to participate in a conference in this situation is already a challenge. He doesn't want any more troubles.

He was even thinking about whether he should restrain his curiosity in the future. Just because he had never participated in such a conference, he had to come and see it in person.

If he spent money to hire a local to sign in here, it should have the same effect.

However, curiosity is the source of motivation for human progress. The reason why human beings can get to where they are today, the initial reason may be because they looked at the starry sky and became curious about it.

If human beings had no curiosity, he really couldn't imagine what the scene would be like now.
