Chapter 910 Explosion (Please ask for a monthly pass! Please subscribe! Please collect! Please recommend!)
The next day, Kay and the George family were at the Midtown High School gym.

The top-level high-efficiency high school like Midtown High School has better supporting facilities than ordinary universities.For example, their gymnasium can accommodate more than 1 people, which can be compared with a commercial gymnasium, and the most amazing thing is that it is not rented out. You must know that the maintenance of such a large gymnasium alone is a terrible expense.

From here, we can see how stupid Midtown High School is.

The venue was exaggerated, and there were quite a few people who came.Among those first-class universities, NAQT is still quite powerful.Unlike those schools that worship happy education, schools that practice elite teaching will spend a lot of money to recruit students who are excellent in learning.

For example, Wenger, neither of her parents graduated from Midtown High School, George graduated from an ordinary high school, and George's wife, Gwen's mother, Helen, graduated from Catbury High School.It's also a really great high school.But Gwen's schoolmaster gene appeared in junior high school.Originally, Carterbury High School wanted to take Gwen into its pocket, and even found a fellow student, Helen. Helen also planned to do the same at the time. Everyone would like their children to study at their old alma mater.Carterbury offered good conditions, tuition is free.

At the same time, Midtown High School also took a fancy to Gwen, but Midtown High School was more generous and directly offered a 3S level scholarship. This level of scholarship not only waived tuition fees, but also paid extra money.So the George family decisively chose Midtown High School.

It's so realistic.

In fact, the George family did not make a mistake. Gwen is only a sophomore in high school (that is, in the 10th grade) and has already become a student assistant. This year, she should enter the student union and become the president of the student union.This is a very rare honor. After all, when many universities in the United States grant scholarships, they don’t just look at the past. Social practice experience and various honors are also essential.Gwen has no problem entering university, but if he wants to get a full scholarship to a top prestigious school, similar honors are essential.

Even this kind of honor will benefit endlessly even if Gwen enters the society.

Many people say that there is no aristocracy in the United States, which is not true at all.There is no nominal aristocracy in the United States, but there are de facto aristocracy.

As early as when the United States was founded, it established a system of meritocracy. Their political system was never a democracy, but an elite representative system.Just take a closer look at their electoral system.This kind of elite is actually just another form of nobility.

There is no king in the United States, so there are no titles of nobility.

So how do you distinguish between elites and civilians?

So the elites thought of a way, through education!

That's right education!

Those good universities are the easiest sign to distinguish identity.

Some universities are tall when you hear it. For example, if you graduated from Yale University, other Americans will immediately be in awe when they hear it.After all, Yale University is not something ordinary people can enter, and even if you have good academic performance, you may not be able to enter such a university.

The admission standards of universities like Yale University have always been mysterious to the outside world. They have no fixed standards. It is not just how many points you get in the exam, you can enter.Very troublesome.There is a set of data that can intuitively see the class divide in the United States.

Among the students admitted to well-known universities in the United States, 70.00% of the five students come from high-income families, while only a poor 20.00% of the low-income students five!And in this poor 20.00% five middle school, many people will have to give up Yale because they can't afford the tuition.

Still take Yale as an example. Yale University charges more than $8 per year, tuition: $4.5 to $5 per year, board and lodging: $2.5 to $3 per year, and what’s even more awesome is the cost of books. Those in the United States The textbooks of top universities are still different, and this alone will cost more than 2000 US dollars.

After such a rough calculation, it is almost 8, but students may spend it on a daily basis.

Calculated in this way, after one year, I will go for 10.And 60.00% of households in the United States don't even have 1000 yuan in savings... How many students can you expect to be able to afford it?
The American dream is often just a dream.It's not something you can succeed with hard work.

With this resume, Gwen will be able to complete the class transition!Become a noble graduate of a prestigious school!Unlike George, it is not easy to talk about your alma mater in others.

To be honest, Kay was expecting a fight.

It's as intense as an NBA game.The audience applauded thunderously and cheered one after another.The competition on the stage was intense, everyone was sweating profusely, and their veins were bulging, as if they wanted to eat their opponents alive.

After watching it, I realized... No wonder no one watched NAQT's TV broadcast.

Throughout the whole process, the audience quietly watched the two teams on the stage conduct a knowledge quiz. Only when the answer was correct, there would be applause.A horse where everything is calm...no passion at all.

Absolutely no sense of participation.

And... what the hell is this a high school competition, right?

Why are those questions so difficult?
Anyway, Kai was at a loss, and Kai could understand the words in those questions, but he was blind when they connected them.

No, no, not even the words are necessarily understood.

For example, a word appeared in the middle of the game.

pneumonultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
Do you think that is a string of garbled characters?
No, that's one word.

Chinese is silicosis!Or called pneumoconiosis.

Anyway, Kay was confused, what is this?
It was Gwen's mom pulling out her phone and searching for the word before Kay and George figured out what it was.

Good guy, good guy, 45 letters in a word.Isn't this killing people?

And this is a knowledge quiz for high school students, right? Why did such a professional medical word appear?
In short, very exaggerated.

No wonder someone would watch this kind of game on TV!

Luckily, Kay could read the scoreboard.

Well, fortunately, there was no embarrassment of not knowing which team won in the end.

Midtown High wins!

Then there was thunderous applause.

Seeing George's excited appearance, Kai was really afraid that he would go crazy like Fan Jinzhongju.

Fortunately, this did not happen.

Just when everyone was preparing to celebrate, suddenly the school radio broadcasted a broadcast, asking all the teachers and students to evacuate quickly.

Kay and George looked at each other, feeling bad.

Evacuate students?

Is there a fire?

Fortunately, this time because of the finals, the New York City Police Department specially sent additional police officers nearby.Mass incidents are a very serious problem no matter which country they live in, let alone involving students.

If an accident happened at a school like Midtown High, the police chief was ready to bow out.

Just as the two were helping Midtown High School evacuate, their phones rang.

Then the faces of the two changed.

The UN General Assembly was bombed!

……

The United Nations Headquarters Building is located on the east side of Manhattan, New York City, New York, USA. Its west boundary is First Avenue, its south side is East 42nd Street, its north side is East 48th Street, and its east side overlooks the East River.

It's not under the jurisdiction of the New York Police Department, and it's not even strictly American territory. The United Nations headquarters is owned by the United Nations, and it's an international territory.No military officer or official of the federal, state, or local government of the United States, whether administrative, judicial, military or police, shall be admitted to United Nations Headquarters except with the consent of the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

Inside headquarters, the United Nations has its own fire and security forces.

After all, the problem is that the New York police can't really turn a blind eye there.

For example, this conference, because many demonstrators ran over to support the king of Wakanda.This also caused this session of the UN General Assembly to attract a lot of attention, so in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the New York police deliberately deployed a large number of police forces to the surrounding area to prevent accidents.

The accident still happened.

The meeting was held on the thirteenth floor of the United Nations Secretariat Building, south of the United Nations Headquarters Building, and it was a warm-up for the official meeting.

Something went wrong.

A bomb exploded below the building.The side of the building facing the road was severely damaged.

More than 37 demonstrators died on the spot, and more than a dozen passers-by who drove by were killed and hundreds were injured.Inside the building, there were also heavy losses. 12 staff members of the United Nations Headquarters died directly and dozens of staff members were injured.In the conference, the king of Wakanda died directly, [-] representatives died, and dozens of representatives were injured...

It can be said that this is the biggest terrorist attack since the tragedy in September 01.

The key is that the impact is extremely bad!
Internationally, almost immediately, various countries expressed their views on the terrorist attack, condemning the perpetrators and at the same time exerting pressure on the United States.

This incident happened in the United States, if not the United States, who?

The White House also wants to cry but has no tears.

Nima... what is this?Benjamin originally planned to go to the United Nations headquarters tomorrow morning.

Is this... a blessing in misfortune?
However, Benjamin didn't think so.

Instead, I have a splitting headache.

The impact is too bad.Even shaken the international status of the United States!
Yes, it is true.

Representatives of many countries have already begun preparing to evacuate.If the UN headquarters is not safe...why do other countries send representatives over?Do you want to die?
Even the two big countries in the east proposed to move the UN headquarters.

In the past, this proposal was made by a bear, and most people would be happy to hear it. This time, another mysterious oriental country with extensive influence made it, which is thought-provoking.Many countries really feel that this matter... can be discussed.

After all, the recent situation in the United States...is really not good.

If this incident really happened, then the United States would be considered ashamed. Mother opened the door for Sharen, and it would be a shame!
Benjamin naturally couldn't let this happen.

So as soon as this incident happened, Benjamin defied all opinions and immediately set off for New York.

Even if there is a battlefield, he will go!
If you don't go again, the United Nations Headquarters will really move!

Sure enough, Benjamin's statement immediately won the favor of many people.At least this shows the determination of the Americans!
But in doing so, the NYPD is caught blind.

After all, it was the New York Police Department that was in charge of perimeter security at the time!

Now the first commissioner of the New York police is at the headquarters with the deputy commissioner and the police chief. Although they know that they can't help themselves, but in this situation, should they be allowed to play golf?

Believe it or not, if it explodes, social death will happen in minutes?
"Aren't Kay and George here yet?"

The First Commissioner snapped loudly.

He now wants the strongest trump card of the New York police to come to him quickly and tell him that the criminal can be caught soon.

Although he knew it was impossible.

But Kai is here, so I feel a little safe.

"I'm sorry, Commissioner. Chief Wayne and Chief Stacey are attending NAQT at Midtown High School. Due to the previous terrorist attack, the high school is being evacuated. So they won't be able to come here for a while." The secretary on the side had already called [-] over the phone.

As a result, Kai exploded directly and threatened the boy that if he called again, he would be arrested and locked up in the detention room.

Damn, how can you call like that?Hitting almost non-stop, are you sick?All said and done feel ASAP!Do you need to keep hitting?
Kay couldn't answer anyone else's phone.

"Then...then let them take their time..."

If there is another problem with Zhongcheng High School, then they are just widows and dead sons, and there is no hope at all.

But Kay and George were reliable, and they also arrived at the headquarters after half an hour.

Originally, this kind of thing has nothing to do with their [-]th branch bureau.

But for such a big matter, the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and the New York Police must definitely jointly handle the case.It is reasonable for the New York police to send Kai over here.

Although the NYPD also has a counter-terrorism department.

But a police department's anti-terrorism unit... must not be reassuring.

"This is the video from that time."

There were no pleasantries in this meeting, and we went straight to the topic when everyone was present.

There is nothing to watch in the video, just the explosion scene.

"It's a bit powerful. If it's really a terrorist, logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible to get such a terrible bomb."

Most of the attacks caused by terrorists in the United States are homemade bombs. The materials can be sold everywhere, but they are definitely not as powerful as military ones.What's more, the explosion of this equivalent, even for ordinary military bombs, requires a huge amount.

If there is really such a large amount of explosives, there is no reason why the police at the scene can't find it.

At that time, not only the police, but also police dogs and various detectors were on the scene to prevent this kind of thing from happening.

So the question is, what explosives made it?
The rarer and more high-tech a bomb is, the easier it is to track down its source.

"The U.S. Administration of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives has sent personnel to the scene. According to the preliminary results of the scene, it should be a polymer liquid bomb."

"Polymer liquid bomb?" Kai had heard of this thing.

This thing is a laboratory product, and Kai is not sure about its specific composition. He only knows that it is a newly developed explosive that turns into a blue viscous liquid.This thing has a disadvantage, that is, it is too stable.A detonator with the trait is required to detonate it.

It is precisely because of these characteristics that it was abandoned by the military.

Come on, who is a bomb made so complicated for?
Complex means expensive, is it worth using such expensive bombs for soldiers?
