The forty years after the emergence of "Sakura"...

The last detector landed on the moon did not change the essence of the whole world. The popularity of cherry blossoms would not change because of the moon landing. It just attracted a small group of astronomical enthusiasts to settle in Donghai City, which is already a good achievement.

The phenomenon of Donghai City's opposition to all parts of the world has not changed.

There is no meaning to trigger collective shame to mankind.

How many days can this shame last? One day, two days, one month, or two months? Can collective shame be turned into motivation? If humans really change something because of shame, humans will not be humans.

Over the years, Zhang Yuan has been silently leading a team to engage in manned space flight. His biggest goal is to send astronauts back to the moon and even restart the operation procedures of the lunar base.

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

The first small goal is to send people to low-Earth orbit in space and circle the earth.

The second small goal is to send people to the aviation city with synchronous orbit. The aviation city, 36,000 kilometers from the ground, has been steadily rotating around the earth, and some machines can be activated on it.

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.

The years have been very hard. Although robots will help produce various parts, Zhang Yuan has to do all the drawings and equations by himself.

There is very little reserve of related talents, and the outside world has always existed. There is no such thing as salary in this society. Everyone is doing this with their passion.

but……

An unfortunate thing happened.

This time the manned space rocket failed to launch!

In this disaster, the four astronauts turned into flames and disappeared in the distant sky. It only took a minute! It seemed that the despairing shouts of these astronauts could be heard in mid-air.

Zhang Yuan, who was watching the observation deck, fell to the ground. This disaster was too great, and it was too big to bear. Donghai Aerospace City, which had just improved a little, must have suffered a devastating blow!

Zhang Yuan had been lying in bed for three days. It was not that he was not strong enough, but that he knew clearly what this rocket launch failed.

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

...

"Haha, they failed, they finally failed!"

"Even ancestors don't want them to land on the moon."

"I knew they couldn't succeed!"

Correspondingly, the outside world is gloating and ridicule like a tsunami. When you don’t work hard, you often see the efforts of others, which is also a torment. These people waited hard and finally waited for this opportunity given by God to mock him. Some people even said that these astronauts “deserved” and “dead well”!

Faced with this kind of insult, Donghai City was filled with clouds, and citizens were filled with suspicion, fear and mutual distrust, and began to question whether the work of the Aerospace City was valuable.

The original hero of Donghai City has become the object of being despised. If it were not for the protection of the robot, Zhang Yuan, who was lying on the hospital bed, might even be beaten to death by the thugs!

A large number of astronauts left amid fierce abuse, and even relatives and friends did not support them in continuing their work.

They themselves devoted themselves to their careers with passion, but after this disaster, the passion dissipated and the human hearts naturally dissipated.

The engineer endured the pain and searched for a long time, but found that a certain screw was not tightened, and the person in charge of this aspect had run away. The whole incident was filled with signs of a conspiracy theory...

This huge blow made Zhang Yuan grow old all night. After getting up from the hospital bed, he sat in front of the office again, quietly dazed, and secretly blaming himself for not being more meticulous in employed people and why he didn’t know more about work.

"sorry."

Since the successful landing of the moon probe, it has indeed attracted many talents from all over the world. But human calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. With this explosion, everything was in vain.

...

In the 42nd year, in just two years, the population of Donghai City fell by 30%!

This city was backfired by populism. Populism requires someone to take the lead and constantly hammer others in order to gain its own sense of superiority. However, now that the manned spacecraft project has failed, the heroes fell from the altar, and the people's hearts will naturally disperse. Many of the original residents simply left this lost city.

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

When these foreign populations have population dominance, they can vote and modify the law to remove "cherry blossoms" from the list of prohibited items.

In this way, the "regional advantage" that the people of Donghai are proud of naturally disappeared.

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

But this time, it was much more difficult than the last time. The public no longer trusted him, Zhang Yuan, the chief designer of aerospace engineering.

...

In the 47th year, due to the increasing number of foreign populations, conflicts within the city became more and more intense, and more and more people broke the law by fighting and breaking the law. This was a completely unimaginable scene in the past.

In fact, these people are just here to make trouble. They just want to vote to erase the last city on Earth that prohibits "cherry blossoms" from this world. That's it.

Zhang Yuan never thought that human nature in the world would be so evil, perhaps they felt that they were just?

Want more people to enjoy more joy?

The entire vote has been initiated three times, but this time, there are too many people outside "joining the fun" that can no longer stop it.

In an announcement released by a robot, it was written: [According to the results of this voting, the number of votes in favor is 513,453, abstentions are 40,998, and oppositions are 40,988. "Sakura" will be removed from the B-level prohibited items...its components are...]

The vote was passed, the law was revised, and the robot would no longer restrict humans from using "cherry blossoms". Some irrational and angry local citizens began to set fire to pieces, and were then arrested by the robot and sent to the cell.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Yuan had no choice but to stand up and call on everyone to treat the final result rationally.

"Everyone... maintain self-esteem and self-love. Even if the law does not restrict us, we can still restrain ourselves."

However, the real fact is...the situation is hopeless.

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

This is too difficult.

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

The people celebrating the "cherry blossoms" on the street were lined up in long queues. They cheered enthusiastically and shouted loudly, claiming that the era of personal freedom was coming.

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

free!

Corresponding to this is the quietly crying of a small group of people, no one knows or pays attention to it.
Chapter completed!
