#82 - Changes in self-perception

Big case!

Various police lights flashed non-stop outside the Sidon Hotel, including police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks.

Among them, police cars were the most numerous, with more than a dozen arriving, turning the area into a world of red and blue.

The scene was cordoned off with police tape, surrounded by onlookers, who were focused on the several corpses inside.

The corpses were covered in bullet holes, and the closer they were to the hotel, the more bullet holes they had. Those at the hotel entrance were riddled with holes.

The corpse farthest from the hotel only had two bullet holes, made by a police handgun.

The two corpses at the hotel entrance were covered in bullet holes because they had been hit by a shotgun.

During the chaos, injured police and civilians were carried onto ambulances. The civilians' constant wailing attracted the attention of the media, who swarmed in for interviews.

As soon as reporters approached, the injured people stopped wailing and began to talk on and on recount what they knew and saw, until the doctors drove the reporters away and stuffed the injured into the ambulances.

"Hey, hey, remember to give me the information consultation fee!" The injured person shouted to the reporters outside the car, tilting his head as the door closed.

"Boom~click~"

The car door locked.

With the injured gone, the reporters turned their cameras and microphones to the onlookers, hoping to get more information from them, and then directed the cameras to take a lot of photos the corpses like vultures feeding on carrion.

Of course, those who knew the most about the matter were the police who first discovered the situation and had direct contact with the gunman, as well as the security who later opened fire.

However, the security guards didn't engage the gunman at first, and using a shotgun against a handgun is pointless.

The police who used handguns against handguns are more interesting.

Although the injured police were sent to the hospital, there were still several at the scene.

Although the police have rules and can't say much, this is America. After the reporters hinted at news consultation fees, they received some news from "unnamed sources at the scene."

"Smelled the scent of marijuana."

"The gunman may have been hallucinating."

"Claimed the meeting was a gathering of demons."

"Believed he was a warrior of justice."

"The gunman didn't look like a rich person."

With these key pieces of information, most people might only think that these people were high on marijuana and then the shooting happened.

In America, shootings triggered by this kind of situation are not uncommon. After all, when you're high, you can't distinguish between people and animals, and it's not surprising what you might do.

Coupled with some frustrations in life, it's easy to do extreme things. If you have a gun at hand, a shooting is too normal.

Because it's too normal, the media feels like there's a lack of highlights. Perhaps countries that ban guns see every shooting as terrifying and newsworthy.

But this is America.

They have to think of some other ideas to ensure that this news has enough discussion.

After thinking about it, it was the Moon Grand Prix meeting. Didn't these people participate in protests before? Such a thing must be related to space activities.

Coincidentally, some more "knowledgeable people" came over, and they thought so too.

In America, the only superpower on Earth, the center of the world, all kinds of thoughts and information collide and converge here. Coupled with the elite and happy dual education model here, it's easy to produce different ideologies.

This includes the theory of spaceflight hazards.

Quite a few people believe in this. The suspicion of the moon landing, wanting to uncover the conspiracy of spaceflight, and the current protests are all done by this group of people.

Where there is a market, there is definitely money to be made.

Where there is money to be made, there is commercial operation.

At this time, Tang Chao and others had returned to the upper floor. The windows of their room overlooked the scene in front of the hotel, and because they had encountered the shooting incident before, Zhang Qin and Zhang Liyan were both in his room.

Zhang Qin was reporting the situation to Chen Jing on the sofa next to him, while Tang Chao and Zhang Liyan stood by the window, holding tea and looking down.

Tang Chao had just spoken to Chen Jing on the phone, indicating that he was fine, and then handed over the detailed report to Zhang Qin.

"Old Zhang, what do you think of what Teacher Liu said just now?"

Teacher Liu was the oldest in the teacher team, and he said earlier, "Do you think the development of the space industry is just a matter of technological progress?", which caused Tang Chao to think.

Hearing Tang Chao ask this, Zhang Liyan also remembered.

But how should this sentence be said? Based on his experience working at the European Space Agency for several years, the development of the space industry is indeed not just a matter of technological progress.

As long as these things are still within the framework of the country, they have to be affected by national strategies, and the country is gathered from many and complex humans, which is also affected by humans.

Because of the different interests, positions, education levels, and information reception levels of humans, the impact is also different.

After listening to Zhang Liyan's answer, Tang Chao actually understood these principles.

Others can only think about this problem from the aspects of Earth and humans, but he can jump out of this framework and think about this problem by comparing the situations of Earth and Kerbin .

This larger scale perspective, with other civilizations as a reference, allows him to get more and more detailed comparison data.

However, comparison is comparison. This can only be considered " literally means writing, here refers to theoretical", but today, he personally experienced a " literally means military, here refers to practical".

He also heard some situations. Although there is the catalyzing effect of marijuana in it, the protesters have been shouting here for several days, which he also saw and heard with his own eyes and ears.

Even Martin told him that there was "business" in it, but he also saw some of the public's incomprehension of spaceflight.

From the day spaceflight was born, it has developed to the present, and it is something played by a very small number of elites.

Ordinary people, and even ordinary countries, cannot access it.

Don't look at the propaganda and popular science done so well now, it still can't let ordinary people truly understand spaceflight and space.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Although because of the rise and development of private spaceflight, the future will be beautiful, but in the short term, it will still be impossible to shorten the distance between ordinary people and spaceflight, humans and space.

Thinking this way, how idealistic is the main body of this meeting—"Let the Moon Be Closer to Us".

Space tourism projects actually started 20 years ago, but the cost for non-professional astronauts, that is, those "ordinary people," to enter space was tens of millions of dollars.

Having tens of millions of dollars is considered rich in the world, and those who are willing to spend tens of millions of dollars on a trip to space are not ordinary rich people.

Later, private space companies rose, and they aimed at space tourism as soon as they came.

Claiming to allow real ordinary people to carry out space tourism.

But so far, no private space company has realized orbital-level space tourism.

There are some that are a little lower in level.

Such as suborbital flight.

It is to take a aircraft to fly to a height of about 100 kilometers of " Karman Line", basically can touch the edge of space, the flight trajectory is a large parabola, you can experience... 5 minutes of weightlessness.

The price is much cheaper than real orbital-level space tourism.

Very affordable, as long as 250,000 US dollars.

There is also Edge of Atmosphere flight.

Take a military fighter to fly to a height of more than 20 kilometers, where the air is thin, which is a height that civil aircraft cannot reach. Because it is a step further away from the earth, here tourists can see the beautiful arc of the earth and the vast and flawless starry sky.

This is even cheaper, only 10,000 US dollars.

Then there is parabolic flight.

Take a specially modified transport aircraft for parabolic flight. It is actually a training method for astronauts. Each parabola can experience half a minute of weightlessness. After astronauts enter space, they must carry out this weightlessness training.

Only a few thousand dollars.

Cheap is really cheap, but it has nothing to do with space, let alone touching the moon.

There is no way, the technological development of the earth is at this level, unless you crazy investment like in the Cold War regardless of the cost.

Unfortunately, there is no chance.

But in Tang Chao's view, there is another way.

That is himself.

Looking at the flashing red and blue police lights below, he began to reflect on what he had done in the past month.

At the beginning, he warned himself not to be cocky.

But in fact, he is not a saint, and it is impossible not to be cocky when this happens to him.

What he has done this month is indeed a little chaotic, one foot east and one foot west, and he feels confused himself.

He doesn't know how the Revival side analyzes him, and whether he will lose hair crazily because of analyzing his behavior.

But he knows that he should do something steadily.

Fortunately, it has only been a month.
