Chapter 9: How to Justify
The strange thing is.
Today, when Internet communications are extremely developed, the Mars SOS incident actually only fermented in China. It caused a discussion among one billion people in China. At most, it only radiated to other Asian countries.
However, the news about Mars SOS has not spread to Asia.
In other words, even the foreigners don’t know about it!
All the news is speechless.
All the media said nothing about it.
The BBC is silent.
Fox was silent.
The night in Asia is the day in Europe. That is to say, at three o'clock in the afternoon in Europe, finally, under the attention of everyone and the scrambling reports of global TV stations, the United Space Agency held a final press conference to announce the news about Li
The return event unfolds the final judgment and conclusion.
The commander-in-chief, Bob Si, did not show up. He just sat in the background and sighed:
"Oh, what a sin. Elife, as the deputy commander-in-chief of this Mars project, let you make the speech."
Elifee had a somewhat aggrieved look on her face: "Commander-in-Chief, I..."
"Oh, go ahead. This is also a good opportunity for you to appear in public. In the past, you always complained that I was stealing the limelight. Don't refute it. I heard many people say it. You always complained that I was stealing the limelight.
, but what you don’t know is that I have good intentions and am just waiting for the last moment to let you give the concluding speech and press conference of the Mars Project. Now that the opportunity to show your face has come, cherish it."
Elifee was so moved that she burst into tears, looking at the old man with the gray beard... No, the old man with the gray beard patted her shoulder with a sincere voice. She was speechless for a moment.
You get the benefits, but I take the blame?
She wanted to struggle again: "Mr. Bobs, in fact, I am used to keeping a low profile. Over the years, I have become accustomed to being unknown. I am willing to be a gardener who does not reveal my name and just quietly contributes to the human aerospace industry...
"
Bobsi said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry that I can't follow your wish this time. Once upon a time, it was us who appeared in front of the stage. But today, it is time for the vast number of astronauts who have made silent contributions to the stage from behind the scenes.
I can't let you be unknown heroes...Oh, listen, look at the reporters and the crowd outside, how warmly they welcome..."
Elifee listened intently, only to hear the noise and chaos in the venue outside.
There are shouts in English:
"fu*k!! Come out"
There are friendly shouts in Chinese:
"RNM! How long are you going to delay us? Come out and speak!"
Bobs, a Frenchman who could not understand English or Chinese, smiled and said:
"Listen, the crowd is so enthusiastic."
"..."
Five minutes later, Elifee led a team of twenty people. After five minutes of mental preparation and five minutes of silently memorizing the script prepared in advance, they lined up and left the backstage.
At this moment, Elife felt extremely uncomfortable.
Dead child!
It ruins my reputation for the rest of my life!
Why don't you just go and die?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! You died right after you died, and you are resurrected? It is all because of your resurrection that it has caused the darkest day in our aerospace industry. I am so angry, what can I say? I will be reviled by thousands of people!
She hated it to death, but it had to be said that she was still conservative.
When she led the team out of the backstage to the front of the stage, she looked around and saw that the wilderness ahead was densely packed with people.
Reporters from news media all over the world are here. The media reporter team alone has more than 10,000 people here. The flashlights are densely shining like stars in the sky, and all the reporters are looking at the people coming out of the backstage with indifference.
A group of people.
And behind the reporters are the spontaneous crowds from all over the world.
It is densely packed and overwhelming. There is no end in sight at a glance.
There are people from this small country near Europe who want to rush to the scene to curse. There are also brave people who come from far away Africa and want to come and take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to roar...
That overwhelming crowd contained at least 100,000 people!
Therefore, it is actually an understatement to be reviled by thousands of people...
Behind the media cameras, there are billions of viewers scolding in front of their television sets!
When Elifee and her team saw this scene, they were trembling, but they still pretended to be calm and sat in their seats. She wanted to finish the story quickly and go back:
"Hello friends from all over the world, seeing how enthusiastically everyone is paying attention to the aerospace industry. As a gardener who has dedicated his life to the aerospace industry, I feel extremely honored, and I am extremely grateful to all the fans for coming to support us in person.
The final speech conference of the Mars Project..."
She read out this according to the script, and the bottom exploded.
"RNM! Do you want face?"
"Bichi! Fake!"
"Axi, you are more shameless than us!"
"Bagaya road!"
"Where do you get your face from?"
"As a spokesperson, you have brought shame on your own country, do you know that?"
"As a European, I feel a fever on my face. I'm ashamed to be in your company!"
"Is this how you treat your children?"
"..."
There are hundreds of thousands of people chirping. Who can hear clearly what you are saying?
Elife just heard the constant buzzing sound in her ears, so she could only stand up and say:
"Thank you for everyone's enthusiasm. I have understood it. So let's not talk much. As a scientific researcher, I am not good at speaking in public. Let's discuss it academically."
"This time, the Mars experiment plan can be said to be very perfect. Well... this is a bold and breakthrough development unprecedented in the history of aviation. Five countries joined forces to promote the progress of the aerospace industry, and could not help but complete the first landing of humans.
One small step for Mars, one giant step for fifty of us humans to survive on Mars for ten years.”
"Our tenacious astronauts have left mankind's only masterpiece on Mars..."
Then, a footprint made of stones appeared on the projector behind him.
Elifee said solemnly and sacredly: "Whenever I can't hold on, I will look at this footprint. This is a masterpiece of our mankind. This is the first time in human history that we have set foot on Mars for thousands of years."
Leave traces of humanity behind!"
"Of course, the meaning behind this is the hard work of our astronauts. It is the lifelong dedication of each of our astronauts... In the past ten years, our fifty astronauts have returned 70,000 pieces of data and brought back samples from Mars.
Nine thousand kilograms. Lived for ten years and worked tirelessly..."
"There are only fifty of them in the whole of Mars. It's hard to imagine how they managed to survive ten years of loneliness..."
Before he finished speaking, a Chinese reporter below burst into tears and yelled:
"Then you throw a child up there and be alone forever. How is he going to persevere?"
With a 'buzz-' sound, the whole place went into a frenzy.
Hundreds of thousands of people wanted to rush up and trample on this guy. They made a lot of high-sounding remarks, but the result was this?
Isn't this a confession press conference? Why did it become a praise press conference?
Seeing her emotions gradually getting out of control, Alifee immediately spoke louder:
"I have no knowledge of Lee's return, which is not my area of expertise. Next we turn the microphone over to 'Professor Truss', who is a Mars telenutritionist, social behaviorist, and astronaut director.
Conductor, come, we welcome with warm applause Professor Truss’s final statement on Li’s return.”
