Chapter 1509 Everything Starts with a Paper

On the Moon Palace.

A silver-white starship slowly docked at the port.

Looking at the planet that is getting closer and closer outside the porthole, and the looming outline of the city, Xie Tian's eyes showed a trace of fascination.

"This is my first visit to the moon. I heard that nuclear physics and high-energy physics research here is very famous. I wanted to come here a long time ago, but I never got around to it."

Standing beside him, Jia Siyuan smiled and said.

"Coincidentally, me too."

Both of them are researchers of East Asia Electric Power, and they are relatively grassroots.

If there is no accident, the two will probably spend their entire lives in obscurity in grassroots positions, and then wait until they are forty or fifty years old, depending on whether their character can explode and become a small management team.

The welfare benefits of East Asia Power are the best among energy companies in the world, but at the same time, its narrow upward path is well known.

But just a few days ago, the situation turned around.

Since Lu Zhou laid off the researchers of the entire Electromagnet Research Institute with an iron fist, the lives of those who do practical things are much better than before.

Although in Xie Tian's opinion, being sent to the moon is still somewhat "exiled", but it is a nominal promotion and salary increase. And no matter what, staying in this relatively free environment is better than staying on the ground and fighting with the seniors in those departments.

What's more, as long as you make achievements, you may be transferred back someday?

After all, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Academician Lu was on the side of honest people like them. In particular, Tang Yunge, who was working in the front line, was directly promoted to the position of the head of the laboratory. Almost all grassroots scientific research workers saw the hope of getting ahead.

Thinking of this, Xie Tian secretly made up his mind that he must do something earth-shattering in this barren land.

The starship stopped.

As the fixed cantilever is connected to the hull, the gangway of the space station is also slowly connected.

Carrying the suitcase and walking off the starship, the group arrived at the boarding gate of the shuttle between the lunar surface and the Moon Palace.

However, just as they were preparing to land on the moon, these researchers and engineers from East Asia Electric Power discovered that the road ahead was blocked by a group of people.

"...What are those people doing?"

Xie Tian, ​​who was holding a suitcase in his hand, had a strange expression on his face when he saw several representatives of the masses separated from the crowd and walking towards him.

Jia Siyuan, who was standing next to him, also had a strange expression on his face.

"Perhaps to celebrate our arrival?"

Obviously, this is impossible.

Not to mention the obvious unfriendly expressions on those people's faces, the holographic windows on top of their heads, and the slogans in prominent places, it doesn't look like they are welcoming them.

At this time, those representatives of the masses walked up to the group of them.

From the cold eyes of the man at the head, Xie Tian, ​​who was standing at the front of the team of researchers, vaguely felt something was wrong.

As if confirming his conjecture, the moment the man opened his mouth, the air between the two parties instantly froze to freezing point.

"Get out of Guanghan City! You are not welcome here, let alone your technology."

"I--"

Just as Xie Tian wanted to explain something, his chest was pushed by the man, and he staggered back two steps and nearly fell down. Jia Siyuan who was standing next to him became angry instantly, and stepped forward to argue, but he was already surrounded.

The scene was abnormally chaotic. Fortunately, the security team of the space station arrived in time, and barely controlled the situation, and it did not turn into a physical conflict.

However, the wave after wave of sound waves still confused them.

"Get out!"

"Get out!"

"You are not welcome here!"

"..."

Escorted by the security team, they hurriedly left the scene. In the eyes of Xie Tian, ​​Jia Siyuan and other East Asia Electric Power researchers, they all had expressions of shock.

The eyes of those people wanted to tear them apart.

It's crazy!

...

The customs rest area of ​​the Moon Palace.

Holding a bag of cold drinking water in his hand, Xie Tian, ​​who survived the catastrophe, still had a shocked expression on his face.

At this moment, the alloy cabin door next to it suddenly opened, and accompanied by a security officer, a man in formal attire walked into the rest area and walked towards them.

"Everyone, I'm sorry that this happened to you. I'm Mayor Ye's secretary," the man continued with an obvious apologetic expression on his face, "Mayor Ye should have come here in person, But he's trying to deal with this mess right now, so let me come and see you."

"I'm really sorry! In order to prevent the conflict from intensifying, we can't let you get off the ship immediately, but we promise to solve it as soon as possible... Can you give us a little time?"

"Yes, yes, but I need to know what happened here?" Staring at the mayor's secretary, Xie Tian said angrily, "We have been preparing for a week, but we were treated like this! You need time, no problem , but please give me a reason."

The secretary said with a wry smile.

"We need a little time to convince the public that ... we're really sorry."

After bowing deeply, leaving everyone with confused faces, the secretary told the space station staff next to them to entertain them properly, then turned and left in a hurry.

However, Xie Tian could clearly feel that the staff of the space station did not become friendly because of the mayor's secretary's instructions.

The hostility that couldn't be hidden in the line of sight made everyone sitting here feel shuddering...

...

Staying in the customs was just a matter of being looked at by people. Seeing that this problem did not seem to be resolved in a short period of time, the group finally chose to return to the ship after discussing it.

They had already docked, but they couldn't get off the boat. Everyone was depressed, as if the raging fire in their hearts had been poured cold water by reality.

Looking at the moon that is so close at hand outside the porthole, Jia Siyuan whispered.

"...It's really evil, what happened there? How did we...become public enemies all of a sudden? I thought they would welcome us like heroes."

After all, when East Asia Electric Power promoted nuclear fusion technology on the earth, the local people did not say that they welcomed it, but at least they were happy to see the cost of electricity falling.

Although I have not experienced that period of history, these news can be found in historical materials.

"have no idea."

Xie Tian smiled wryly and shook his head, his eyes filled with similar troubles.

His intuition told him that things might be more complicated than he imagined.

However, the Moon Palace space station has not approved them to use the network. Now, apart from being able to get in touch with the headquarters of East Asia Electric Power through the communication equipment on the ship, they have no information about the outside world.

"...It's just a hypothesis." After thinking for a long time, Xie Tian broke the silence in the cabin and continued, "It is very likely that something serious happened during the day after we set off from the Tianzhou. The accident has brought the residents of Guanghan City to a freezing point in their trust in us."

Jia Siyuan said with a frown.

"But what can happen in one day?"

Thank God shook his head.

At this moment, the door of the cabin suddenly opened, and a large figure in crew uniform walked in from the driving area.

"We just contacted the ground headquarters, we may be in trouble."

Suddenly raised his head and looked over there, Xie Tian was about to ask, when Jia Siyuan who was sitting next to him couldn't wait to ask.

"What the hell happened—"

The half-sentence hadn't been uttered yet, that Da Da continued with a solemn face.

"It's a protest."

"They're against us."

"Or the second-generation controllable fusion project."

Jia Siyuan couldn't help but said.

"Why? We are obviously helping them solve their energy problems!"

"But they don't think so." Looking at the moon outside the porthole with a complicated expression, Na sighed a lot and said with a complicated expression, "Everything has to start with a paper."
