Deep Space Planet Leader

Forty years after the appearance of "Sakura"...

The last time the probe landed on the moon did not change the essence of the entire world. The popularity of cherry blossoms will not change because of the moon landing, but tepidly attracted a small group of astronomical hobbyists to settle in Eastern Sea City, which is already a good achievement.

The confrontation between Eastern Sea City and the rest of the world has not changed.

It does not make any sense to cause collective shame in humans.

How many days can this shame last? One day, two days, one month, or two months? Is it possible to turn collective shame into motivation? If human beings really change something out of shame, human beings will not be human.

In the past few years, Zhang Yuan has been silently leading the team to engage in manned spaceflight. His biggest goal is to send astronauts to the moon again, and even restart the lunar base operation procedures.

Life is very hard, or in other words, it has never been so hard.

First of all, the first small goal is to send people into low-Earth orbit in space and circle Earth.

The second small goal is to send people to the aviation city on synchronous orbit. At a distance of 36,000 kilometers from the ground, the Aviation City has been steadily revolving around Earth, and there are some machines on it that can be started.

These two small goals have been completed in the past few years. After accumulating some experience, the final big goal is to land on the moon.

These years have been very hard. Although robots will help produce various parts and components, Zhang Yuan has to make all blueprints and equations.

The relevant talent pool is very small. The external frigid irony and scorching satire have always existed. There is no such thing as salary in this society. Everyone is doing this with enthusiasm.

But...

An unlucky thing happened.

This time the manned flight Heavenly Fire arrow failed to launch!

In this disaster, the four astronauts turned into raging flames and disappeared in the distant sky, only in one minute! In midair, it seems that the desperate cry of these astronauts can be heard.

Zhang Yuan, who was watching from the observatory, fell to the ground. This disaster was too big and unbearable. The Eastern Sea City Airlines Tian City, which has just improved a little, is bound to Suffered a devastating blow!

Zhang Yuan has been lying in bed for three days. It is not that he is not strong enough, but he clearly knows what it means that the rocket launch failed at this time.

Several relatives kept crying in front of the hospital bed, thinking that Zhang Yuan was about to die...or, all their plans died within one minute.

……

"haha, failed, they finally failed!"

"Even the ancestors do not want them to go to the moon."

"I knew that they were impossible to succeed!"

Correspondingly, it is the tsunami-like taking pleasure in other people's misfortune and ridicule from the outside world. When I don't work hard, I often see other people's efforts, which is also a kind of suffering. This group of people waited so hard, and finally waited for the opportunity given by heaven to ridicule. Some even said that these astronauts “deserve it” and “dead well”!

Faced with this kind of verbal abuse, Eastern Sea City is full of clouds. The citizens are full of suspicion, fear, and mutual distrust, and they begin to question the value of Hangtian City’s work.

The original hero of Eastern Sea City has become a spurned object. If it were not for the protection of the robot, Zhang Yuan lying in the hospital bed might even be beaten to death by the mob!

A large number of astronauts left amidst fierce abuse, and even relatives and friends did not support them to continue working.

They themselves devote themselves to their careers with enthusiasm, but after the disaster of this time, the enthusiasm is gone, and the hearts of the people are naturally gone.

The engineer endured the pain, and after investigating for a long time, he discovered that a certain screw had not been tightened, and the person in charge of this aspect had run away. The whole incident was full of signs of conspiracy theory...

The huge blow of this time made Zhang Yuan white head overnight. After he got up from the hospital bed, he sat in front of the office again, quietly in a daze, and secretly blamed himself for not being more careful in employing people. Why not know more about work.

"I'm sorry."

Since the lunar probe landed successfully, it has indeed attracted many talents from all over the world. But man proposes but God disposes, with the explosion this time, everything was wasted.

……

In the forty-second year, in just two years, the population of Eastern Sea City has dropped by 30%!

This city has suffered the backlash of populism. Populism requires someone to take the lead and constantly hammer others to gain a sense of superiority. But now that the manned space project has failed, heroes have fallen into the altar, and the hearts of the people are naturally scattered. Many original residents simply left this tarnished city.

Due to the rapid decline in population, many clowns in other cities have opportunities to take advantage of. They are calling on people from other cities to move into Eastern Sea City in large numbers.

When these migrants have a demographic advantage, they can vote and amend the law to remove "cherry blossoms" from the list of prohibited items.

As a result, the "geographical advantage" that Eastern Sea people are proud of naturally disappears.

Zhang Yuan had to turn his attention to this aspect again, and re-participated in the ideological struggle.

But this time, it is much more difficult than the last time. People no longer trust him Zhang Yuan, the chief designer of aerospace engineering.

……

In the 47th year, due to the increasing number of foreign populations, the contradictions within the city became more and more intense, fighting, and more and more people who violated the law , This was completely unimaginable in the past.

Actually, these people are purely here to make trouble. They just want to vote to erase the last city on Earth where "cherry blossoms" are banned from this World, that's all.

Zhang Yuan never thought that the human nature in the world would be so evil, maybe they just feel that they are righteous?

Want more people to enjoy more joy?

The whole vote has been launched 3 times, but this time, there are so many people from outside who are "joining in the fun", that there is no way to stop it anymore.

In an announcement issued by a robot, it read: [According to the results of this voting, the number of votes for the vote is 513453, the number of abstentions is 40998, and the number of votes against it is 40988. "Sakura" will be removed from B-Rank banned items... Its ingredients are...]

The vote was passed, and the law was revised, and robots will no longer restrict humans from using "Sakura". Some irrational and angry local citizens began to set fire to smash things, then were picked up by robots and sent to prison.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Yuan can only stand up and call on everyone to treat the final result rationally.

"Everyone...keep your self-esteem and self-love. Even if the law does not restrict us, you can also restrict yourself."

However, the real fact is...the general situation is gone,

Zhang Yuan actually doesn't believe in so-called self-discipline.

This is too difficult.

In the end, several companions who followed Zhang Yuan were crying and wiping tears, trying to accept the final facts.

The people on the street celebrating the opening of the "cherry blossoms" were full of long lines. They cheered and yelled enthusiastically, proclaiming that the era of personal freedom had come in full.

They shouted: "The last evil city has ushered in true freedom!"

Freedom!

This corresponds to a small group of people crying quietly, no one knows, and no one pays attention to it.
