Chapter 1247 (1/2)
The night of the show.
The BBC broadcast the interview.
In addition to the specimens on display, more than 30 professors protested in front of the exhibition office.
Online.
On twitter.
On Facebook.
All the social platforms with western people as the main body suddenly exploded after the second half of the BBC News broadcast.
”Even Martin kapras was turned down? What do the people of star ring trade want to do
”And Michael Levitt. I know him. He's an outstanding alumni of Cambridge University!”
”Although these names are not understood, but in short, they refused us to participate in the research? Why? ”
”I feel like I'm back in the Cold War era. An iron curtain is falling from the Pacific Ocean...”
”This is an obstacle to academic freedom!”
“……”
The voices on social media are divided into two distinct factions, some of whom understand that, after all, star ring trade. The other is indignant to denounce the star ring trade. They have no sense of social responsibility and use the cold war thinking to hinder academic freedom.
Of course, most people are in the mood of watching. After all, the exhibition hall of the heart of the sea can be freely accessed. Many tourists have taken photos and sent them to their social accounts. A lot of people have also satisfied their curiosity of Martian creatures from TV.
As for ”academic freedom” and ”cold war thinking”, too few people pay attention to it.
In the eyes of most people, it's just a few broken specimens. If you don't look at them, what's so fussy about?
Children in China can't join in the debates on Facebook and twitter. However, many Chinese learned the whole story of the incident from BBC videos carried by overseas parties and expressed their views on their social accounts.
It's just different from Facebook and twitter.
On the neck.
In the circle of friends.
The whole Chinese culture circle is using futurist 1.0.
It's a completely different picture.
”Star ring trading fortress!”
”Haha, those ghosts are so angry that the International Space Station doesn't take us to play, high-precision machine tools are forbidden to us, and we have been locked up in technology for half a century. We haven't seen you, the Virgin Mary, come out and shout about academic freedom and science without borders. Why are you coming out now?”
”Martin kapras? I haven't watched the world cup for a long time. Which team is from? ”
”Ha ha ha ha, what about the Nobel laureates? Without your help, we Chinese scientists can study it thoroughly.”
”When you were asked to join the Earth Defense Alliance, why didn't you participate in the research? Ask your president. ”
At a time of heated discussion on social media, the traditional media also reported on it to a certain extent.
Finally, the Committee of the Earth Defense Alliance came forward and held a press conference to specifically talk about this matter.
Standing in front of the media, Kerwin said: ”the details of the Earth Defense Alliance's research on extraterrestrial life and civilization will be open to the international community selectively. This is mainly for the sake of security. The decision is made by the representatives of various countries after deliberation. Please do not over interpret it. ”
