Chapter 1,247: Making Headlines Again?
The night after the exhibition ended.
The interview was broadcast by the BBC.
In addition to the specimens on display themselves, a protest by more than thirty professors at the entrance of the exhibition office was also broadcast.
online.
on Twitter.
on Facebook.
All social platforms that mainly focus on Western people went viral after the second half of the BBC News was broadcast.
"Even Martin Capras was rejected? What do the people of Star Ring Trade want to do!"
“And Michael Levitt, I recognize him, he’s a distinguished alumnus of our University at Cambridge!”
"Although I can't understand these names, they still refused us to participate in the research? Why?"
"I seem to have returned to the Cold War era, and an Iron Curtain is falling from the Pacific..."
"This is an obstacle to academic freedom!"
"..."
Voices on social media are divided into two factions with sharp stances. Some people understand this, after all, Star Ring Trade. Others condemned the Star Ring trade with indignation, showed no sense of social responsibility, and used a Cold War mentality to hinder academic freedom.
Of course, most people just want to watch the excitement. After all, the exhibition hall in the Heart of the Ocean can be entered and exited at will, and many tourists have taken photos and posted them on their social accounts. Many people have also satisfied their curiosity about Martian creatures from TV.
As for things like "academic freedom" and "Cold War mentality", too few people pay attention to them.
In the eyes of most people, they are just a few broken specimens. If you don’t want to look at them, don’t look at them. What’s all the fuss about?
Children in China cannot join in the debates taking place on Facebook and Twitter. However, many Chinese people still learned about the incident from the BBC video uploaded by overseas parties, and expressed their opinions on their social accounts.
Just not like on Facebook and Twitter.
On the scarf.
On Moments.
The entire Chinese cultural circle is using Future Man 1.0.
It's a completely different scene.
"The Star Ring Trade Fortress is here!"
"Haha, I'm so angry at those idiots. The International Space Station won't let us play, and high-precision machine tools are embargoed on us. After half a century of technological blockade, you holy ladies jumped out and shouted about academic freedom and science without borders. Why did it pop out now?"
"Martin Capras? I haven't watched the World Cup for a long time. Which team is he from?"
"Hahahaha, so what if you are a Nobel Prize winner? We Chinese scientists can still do thorough research without your help!"
"When I asked you to join the Earth Defense Alliance and you didn't come in, why didn't you participate in the research? Ask your president."
While social media was abuzz with discussions, traditional media also covered the matter to a certain extent.
Finally, the Earth Defense Alliance committee stood up and held a press conference to specifically talk about this matter.
Standing in front of the media's cameras, Kerwin said: "The details of the Earth Defense Alliance's research on extraterrestrial organisms and civilizations will be selectively disclosed to the international community. This is mainly due to security considerations and is decided after discussions by representatives of various countries. Please do not over-interpret the decision."
But how is it possible not to over-interpret?
For the behemoth Earth Defense Alliance, any slight disturbance may be put on the table by major think tanks as a case for careful study and analysis of the deep meaning behind it. In particular, professors mobilized their students to call on those who are concerned about this incident to sign a petition on the White House petition website. So far, there have been more than 100,000 people. According to regulations, the White House has to respond to this incident.
But while everyone was speculating on how the United States would react, the White House's response was quite lackluster. It is said that the United States is discussing this incident with the Earth Defense Alliance member states, but there is no further explanation.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but not long after the exhibition, an abandoned rocket launch site in Boston was restarted under the operation of NASA and SpaceX. The new Falcon rocket that was originally sealed in the warehouse was reinstalled on the launcher, and preparations for launch began quietly.
…
After entering February, scientists from various countries have almost adjusted to each other, and the research on devil bugs has gradually got on the right track. The four newly built isolation rooms have been put into use, and the scientific research efficiency is several times faster than before.
After several meetings with committee members from various countries on the Mars issue and the soon-to-be-completed mega-ton ship, Jiang Chen took the space elevator back to the surface.
Before going home, Jiang Chen first went to Coconut Island and used an interdimensional material transmission device to send the small freezer containing the sample cells to Lin Ling's laboratory. He then returned to the business trip for almost half a month. At home, continue the game you left unfinished last time...
Villas in Koro Island.
It was night, the evening breeze was blowing, and the coconut trees outside the window were swaying with green shadows, trying to resist but welcome the shameful moonlight.
"You've made the headlines again." Natasha rolled her eyes and tried to change the topic.
"You're the man who made the headlines."
Topic interrupted.
Seeing that she failed to divert Jiang Chen's attention, Natasha gritted her teeth and rolled her eyes again.
"...I discovered that you have an unexpected number of fans in Russia. Guess what happened today? During the lunch break today, the beautiful new translator from the embassy asked me excitedly while holding the cover of the "Moscow Times", Ask me what kind of person you are and if I can introduce her to you..."
"Oh? What kind of person am I?"
Looking at Jiang Chen with a smirk on her face, Natasha gritted her teeth, shook her sweat-soaked hair from her forehead, panted heavily and lay on her strong chest, turning the page. He rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue, making a face as if he was about to die. "Damn it, are you really an Oriental? I suspect you are..."
"Am I?" Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.
"alien."
Adjusting her disordered breathing, Natasha looked at Jiang Chen seriously.
"..."
The silent stare lasted for a minute.
Jiang Chen took a photo on the straight curve and listened to the high-pitched scream, Jiang Chen said with a bad smile.
"Don't try to fool around. You still have 972 push-ups and 1,720 squats left. Jane is counting for me."
"To be precise, it's 972 and 1727." The watch flashed slightly, and Jane's emotionless electronic sound sounded on the bedside table.
"Oh, God, please kill me!" Natasha said, rolling her eyes. "Give me a good time."
"That won't work, my Miss Agent," Jiang Chen said with a smirk, "It's agreed that whoever loses will be punished."
As soon as she heard the word "punishment", Natasha's face suddenly fell down and she looked like she was about to cry.
You shouldn't have played this game with him then.
This guy is so perverted!
