Chapter 267, Alien II, the prelude to the crisis
Star Trek!
As soon as he heard the college student in the front row say this term, Qing Shui Chong's eyes immediately lit up, and his body leaned forward, even causing the method on the side to look at him in surprise. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Star Trek......
Although Shimizu Chong is not very old, he has long been concerned about the development of Hollywood movies, and this classic sci-fi series filmed by Paramount, he has watched two TV series with a total of about 100 episodes, and a whole four movies!
At this time, the curvature navigation suddenly mentioned in "Alien II" is the first proposed in "Star Trek"!
This kind of technology is easy to understand, it is to drive the spaceship by modifying space-time itself, and use the loopholes in the laws of physics to break the unsurpassable limit of the speed of light.
Because the space of the universe is not flat, but there is curvature, just like the surface of any sphere has countless tangent lines, but the curvature of space does not only exist on the surface, but is innumerable.
The role of the curvature engine is to smooth out the spatial curvature of the spacecraft "rear" like an iron ironing the folds of a suit. Or like a piston, the space in front and back is contracted and expanded separately, so under the action of the law of conservation of mass and energy, the space where the spaceship is located will naturally be "dragged" forward.
Naturally, the engine power is different, and the forward speed is different. But there is no doubt that under the premise that physical acceleration cannot go beyond light, this is the most direct way to reach the speed of light!
"It turns out that Alice is still a space sci-fi fan......"
Shimizu Chongke would not think that this string of lines was added by director Cameron. Although that person has made a movie like "The Terminator", he will not reveal to the audience this kind of knowledge that is not related to the plot itself in the details of the lines.
The surprise and joy in his heart were put aside for the time being, and Qing Shui Chong first glanced at the two girls beside him happily, and then continued to concentrate on the movie itself.
The plot of the movie continues.
Fifty-seven years have passed, but the "company" that sent Ripley aboard the commercial cargo spacecraft still exists. According to their records, Ripley activated the ship's self-destruct device for an "unknown reason", so naturally the next step was the accountability phase.
It was in this huge triangular pyramidal space base built by the "company" that a court verdict was being pronounced in a conference room with shiny metal wall panels as a backdrop. The company summoned a judge from the "federal government" on the grounds that Ripley had destroyed the company's property.
It's all a small detail plot, but many viewers who are used to watching science fiction movies are keenly aware that the director and screenwriter are imperceptibly constructing a rigorous and grand worldview.
Since humanity has entered the interstellar age after all, and Ripley is not a scheming character, she honestly made a written report on the existence of the alien and what happened to herself and the crew at that time, and then submitted it to the company's top management.
When this episode had just been staged, Shimizu Chong frowned very worriedly.
Inform a group of "ordinary people" about the existence of "monsters"?
How can this be believed!?
This was Qing Shui Chong's first thought, but then, watching the development of the plot, he suddenly realized that this was already an interstellar era after all. 1979's "Alien" didn't describe the worldview as deeply as "Star Trek", maybe humanity has already encountered other alien creatures?
Maybe that's the case, but the suspicion has not been dispelled, but this suspicion, in Shimizu Chong's opinion, is really justified, and people can't feel angry with the company.
First of all, for a full fifty-seven years, the company has examined the wreckage of the self-destructed spaceship, and found no traces of the existence of the alien, and no clues have been found in Ripley's escape pod.
In this regard, although Ripley felt extremely angry, he could only consider himself unlucky. Because there is only one alien from beginning to end, and when he finally destroys it, he also relies on breaking the glass of the escape pod and throwing the alien out of the spaceship with the air pressure difference, so it is strange that there can be residual traces.
I would have known that I would have cleaned it up in a different way......
Remnant ......
Then, the point of the plot came.
Ripley questioned the judge: Didn't you send someone to the asteroid LV-426 to investigate the field? There are thousands of alien eggs waiting to be fed!
Thousands of eggs, but if one gets into a spaceship, everyone has to play!
"Yes, yes, there's still this evidence!"
Seeing this, Fazi said excitedly, his fists clenched.
However, the judge ignored Ripley's roar and simply pronounced the verdict on her dismissal: Ripley's officer, NRC14472, was unfit to hold an ICC license and serve as an interstellar flight officer because of his improper judgment. Therefore, we will permanently revoke their license. ”
"At this time, we will not prosecute you for any crime, but you will receive six months of psychotherapy and monthly check-ups with an ICC psychologist. Recess. ”
The verdict was so easily settled, and what Ripley had said about the asteroid was met with a cold reception from everyone. For a while, the entire movie theater was silent, and Noriko and Michiko sat side by side, very puzzled by the judge's inexplicable judgment.
Fortunately, it wasn't just the audience who was wondering, even Ripley was baffled by the result. So, when most of the people walked out of the conference room, she stopped the judge directly and questioned him, "Why don't you just check the situation of LV-426?"
"Because that's not necessary. ”
While everyone was waiting for the judge to say something nonsense, he replied, "Because it has been inhabited for twenty years, and nothing unusual has ever been said." ”
"Nani!?"
As soon as these words came out, Fazi suddenly covered his mouth and exclaimed, in the movie theater, which was still relatively quiet, there were young people everywhere exclaiming, and they were all women.
Ripley was also surprised, "What do you mean?
"Planet Alterer, Engineer!"
There were still people walking out of the room, and the judge patiently explained to Ripley, "They're going to install an atmospheric generator for further interstellar colonization." In fact, they are already the first batch of colonies, and the whole project took ten years, so they don't have to wear oxygen masks when they go out!"
In just a few sentences, the amount of information revealed is so much that it almost kills all the audience. For a while, there were bursts of emotion in the seat, and many people couldn't help but talk about it.
"The imagination of Americans is really rich, the atmospheric generation device, so thoughtful!"
"Haha, I just don't know if this device was made by us Japanese. ”
"It seems that the world of "Alien" is the Age of Discovery, but what is the standard of their time? What about the rhythm of life? Twenty years......
The discussion didn't sound much before it fell, because the main mention of these lines was immediately on the screen.
Asteroid LV-426, a colony planet inhabited by 300 households.
It was late at night, and the wind blew up the pale blue sand, and from a cliff in the distance, you could see huge buildings like battlefield fortifications, looming in the wind and sand. At the same time, the yellow lights are also flickering, which allows people to more clearly construct the distribution of the entire complex.
The screen switches, and according to the comparison of the light bulbs at the top, the metal wall is about five meters high. This side of it has an 80-degree angle of inclination, but the other side is undoubtedly completely vertical, in fact, it is such a small detail that once again makes the audience notice the sincerity of the producer.
It's exquisite, it's everyone's first feeling. The wall on the screen is more than ten meters long, with a metal gate that is slowly opening horizontally, and there are no traces of rough welding at all, and the whole wall and door body seem to be poured out in one go.
"It's aluminum alloy, this metal absorbs heat slowly and dissipates heat quickly, otherwise no one would dare to touch these walls during the day!"
A man who appeared to be a science and engineering student spoke, but no one paid attention to him, and everyone was attracted by the behemoth that appeared next.
The massive construction truck, with four full rows of thick tires, and eight wheels carrying an angular behemoth, drove into the base with a rumbling roar.
What follows is a portrait of everyday life in the colony, with a large number of engineers working in an office building, full of metalwork and angular structures. According to the simple dialogue between the two characters, the audience quickly understood a very simple thing.
For the group of engineers, exploring the asteroid in that all-terrain vehicle was like a cowboy in the West in a gold mine. Everyone is waiting in line to get on that "all-terrain vehicle", but if they can find any precious minerals in the wild, such as various elements that are rare on earth, they will get a huge fortune from the "company"!
"See, I've been talking about the 'company' from beginning to end. ”
Fazi noticed this and muttered to Michiko: "It seems to have been mentioned in the first part, but it's just background information, and now it seems that the director wants to shape it into an interstellar super chaebol!"
This time, Michiko didn't have the time to pay attention to the method, because there were employees' families everywhere in the camera, and there were as many as five or six children who showed up at this moment.
"They're going to be fine, right?"
Michiko said nervously, "This colony is definitely going to be attacked by aliens, what can these children do?"
Shimizu sat down beside them and said approvingly, "That's what the director is for, sinister Cameron!" (To be continued.) )
