Chapter 44: Kitchen Sink
Replies that were so detailed that they could be called "tirade" appeared directly on the second floor of the post.
I guess even the poster himself didn't expect to catch such a big fish.
Other people who accidentally passed by were even more shocked by such a material dry goods.
"Wow!
"To be honest, I didn't even notice these ...... when I read the documentation"
"Is the Foundation's setting so six? There should be other settings, right?"
That's what the meme meme...... Is it the concept of cultural communication? I should probably read the book "The Selfish Gene." ”
"I went looking for it, and the translated version on the Internet doesn't look very comfortable, but it doesn't seem to be a physical book......"
"Hey, we've got books for sale here!"
"It's originally in English, so it's not surprising that there's no one in the UK. ”
"Do you want me to buy a few books for you?" ”
"Friend, let's talk privately!"
"I'm the only one who noticed the level of authority to reply to this big guy?
"What?A-class?taller than Esther!"
"What's wrong with A-class? There's a highest-privileged administrator next door. ”
"That's an official, this one looks...... Uh, it's not going to be official, is it......"
"It doesn't matter if he's or not, try to hook up first. ”
"The earliest account here is Esther's batch, even if he came in that time, it is impossible to be promoted to A-level...... Is it the author of the Foundation?"
"If you're an author, it's reasonable to know so much about the setting. ”
"BUT YOU STILL HAVEN'T EXPLAINED WHAT THE HELL THAT BERRYMAN-LANGFORD MEMETIC ERASURE AGENT IS?"
"If you want to open it, he at least let you know what a meme is. ”
After the haircut, I went to touch the fish...... No, it's to actually investigate the level of development of entertainment culture in this world, leaving only a system that has just switched back from the translator mode to look at the website.
The system is dual-minded, while following the administrator to pick up some various cultural products on the Internet, while staring at the forum, a group of half-old and new people who are in great need of guidance.
Now that these people have asked questions, it immediately obeys Guan Li's orders, jumps out, and takes over the burden of popular science.
"The memetic erasure agent is the picture you see when you see the word.
The preceding name is a tribute to a person and indicates the essence of this picture. ”
With Guan Li's previous experience, the system also went online this time to check the person who paid tribute, and confirmed that he also existed in this world, so he dared to send out these explanations.
LANGFORD refers to David Langford, a British science fiction writer who published the short story "BLIT" in 1988, which is basically the original form of the memetic erasure agent.
BLIT is an abbreviation for Berryman Logical Image Technique, and in the story, this kind of image is called basilisk, that is, the sighting of a petrified snake demon/snake tail chicken/petrified lizard, the content of this kind of image will attack the weakness of the human psychological structure, and make the human brain freeze like a computer.
Catalyst is another name for catalyst. ”
In this way, the specific meaning of this memetic erasing catalyst whose name is basically impossible for normal people to remember is very clear.
In fact, there is no serious naming rule, which is what the Foundation has always done-
Hidden under the surface of seriousness, keen on playing with the essence of memes and tributes.
There are some words in the SCP file that seem to be very high-level, very mysterious and unclear, and it is possible that the author suddenly wants to play a joke......
The most representative example of this is the names of the Foundation's Mobile Task Forces.
Mobile Task Forces, or MTFs, are the Foundation's primary combat force in addition to facility security, as well as its mobile combat force and primary external operations enforcement force.
In short, these teams are full of well-trained agents and even humanoid SCP objects, representing the "best of the best".
Each of the different MTFs has different response missions and unique names that you will remember at once.
For example, Mobile Task Force Alpha-1, known as the "Red Right Hand", is a task force that reports directly to the O5 Council and is used in situations that require strict operational security.
In short, the "Red Right Hand" is the O5's royal armed force.
Mobile Task Force Gamma-6, on the other hand, is tasked with investigating and tracking deep-sea or marine anomalies, hence their name as "Abyssal Feeders".
With such a name, I always feel that my whole body is full of death flags!
And somehow there is a feeling that you will run into Cthulhu?
But compared to the name of Mobile Task Force Iota-10, they are still weak.
This team is called "Damn Federal Agents" and is tasked with helping the Foundation take justice from the police department in the anomaly.
This naming profoundly reflects their desire to kill in the operation project - they must have been harassed countless times by federal agents.
There are also very unreliable names called "Ghost Hunts" and "Gravediggers", as well as "Reincarnation" and "Heaven".
But when it comes to the strongest and most powerful Mobile Task Force, we have to mention the former "kitchen sink".
This team is only responsible for one thing - dealing with the apocalypse.
"The end of the XK-class world has come, and we can only rely on the kitchen in the end...... Mother Fxxk we can't change the code name?!"
Isn't it very slotted?
But it's a really interesting meme.
When the United States was implementing the Manhattan Project — yes, the same plan for the atomic bomb in World War II — Los Alamos used the phrase "a magician knocked over his cauldron" to refer to a problem with the nuclear test.
So the "kitchen sink" is the remedy for this "overturned crucible".
It's also interesting to name the team that saved the world...... Right?
At least Guan Li likes the name, but unfortunately he can only watch its file be deleted.
There is no particular reason.
Maybe it's just because the original author wants to quit the Foundation, who knows?
There is no Mobile Task Force "Kitchen Sink" in the Foundation's archives now, but there are still some relevant texts left.
If someone sees this name and finds out that the mobile task force doesn't have this team on the homepage, they will probably be confused.
Guan Li doesn't know how many pits there are in the foundation, but there are definitely not too few, large and small.
He didn't bother to find out on his own.
Let the readers turn slowly, turn to one is a surprise, turn to two is an easter egg, and turn to three......
Count Esther II!
Anyway, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and when the pit is trampled, it is not too late for him to fill it up.
Perfect, more time for salted fish!
Which website to go to next?
The system had already made a decision for him, "Administrator, the Cthulhu artist you selected earlier, Black Gold, has just sent a message. ”
"Oh, then I'll see. ”
Three days to reply to emails, not too fast and not too slow.
Hopefully it will be good news.
