Chapter 30: Survival in the Universe
"Anyway, aren't there any free amusement facilities?" Karim listened for a long time, and suddenly couldn't help but ask.
"Of course there is," Rat Boy said, "see that group of people over there, you can go there and watch TV, but there is only one TV, and only one remote control, if you want to change the channel, you must be able to win the person with the remote control." ”
I said in my heart that there is a TV here, too? But think about it, it's also an alien, how can there be no such rudimentary media method, of course, aliens may not be called that, but the nature should be similar.
I glanced at the person holding the remote control, and I was immediately shocked, the thing was more than two meters tall, red and red, it seemed to be a reckless brother, but it didn't seem to be the same, it was obviously one size bigger than those ordinary reckless people, and he had a fierce face.
"Is that a Mang brother?"
The rat boy shook his head, "The Targre people are extremely good at biological modification technology, and often breed strange synthetic creatures in experiments, this guy is one of the results, it is made with the genes of the Mangge people, but mixed with the genes of some alien ape creatures, the Targre people want to create a biological warrior with strong controllability similar to the Taggers, but although this guy is also a little silly like the Tags, he is very short-tempered and does not obey orders at all, That's why the Targre sent him here to be a freedom fighter, his name is Bloodaxe Wren, are you going to fight him? The ratboy said, but with a look of anticipation.
I said pull it down, you kid didn't have a good heart, that thing is scary to look at, I don't have the confidence, and if this is killed in the gladiatorial arena, it will be forgotten, if you grab the remote control with someone and be killed, we can't afford to lose this person if you send it back to Earth.
And anyway, everything you look at, just follow and look at it casually.
When we finished our meal, we walked over to the screen, and the three of us took a seat together.
There are quite a lot of aliens watching TV here, and the programs they want to watch are naturally different, but since it's in this kind of place, it's natural that whoever has the biggest fist will set the rules.
At this time, the biggest fist is obviously this Blood Axe Wren, I glanced at the screen and didn't expect that this Blood Axe Wren's taste was actually very peaceful, he was actually watching a food column. This TV show feels similar to the earth's, it's not three-dimensional, it's just an ordinary picture on the screen, but it makes me feel a lot more intimate.
However, it seems that the show has just ended, and the blood axe Wren threw down the remote control, and immediately another freedom fighter rushed over and changed the channel.
On the screen, a well-dressed alien is seen trudging through a snow-covered planet.
In the upper right corner of the screen you can see the name of the show - "Cosmic Survival"?
Why does this sound familiar?
The alien was still talking to himself as he walked: "Cedar Star is a very cold planet, the lowest temperature here can reach minus 100 degrees Celsius, and even wearing a spacesuit in this environment can easily cause frostbite, so if you accidentally fall here, the first thing to do is to find a way to stay warm." ”
"Making a fire is the easiest way to do it, and the plants of Cedar Star have evolved a resinous surface that allows them to survive in this extremely low climate, so they are very easy to ignite."
"Look, it's an Edelweiss, it's a herbivore, it's got a thick coat, it's three times as much protein as standard synthetic meat, it's fatty, it gives us a lot of energy, its fur keeps us out of the cold, it's a very useful species, we're going to try to catch it now."
"Oh my God, we seem to have been targeted by a blade-toothed wolf, a very common predator in the area, usually in packs, fortunately, this one seems to be separated from its colony, generally speaking, this beast does not attack creatures that have not been seen before, but to avoid accidents, we better not show a look of fear."
I have to say that this alien TV show is really good, although the type of show seems a little familiar, which is very strange because I have never watched an alien TV show before.
A few of us sat in front of the TV all afternoon watching TV, which was fun and easier to fit in.
Sure enough, as we discussed the content of the show, it was easy for us to mingle with the freedom fighters here, and even their hostility towards Karim was not so strong.
"Hey, it's all about living, it's nothing, we all understand." Even that Tianhe star man didn't bother with that matter.
According to my observation, there are three main programs on this TV that are the most popular, the first is "Cosmic Survival", probably because of the loss of freedom, I realized that freedom is the most precious, Cosmic Survival This program will choose a different planet as a filming location in each episode, and the content of an alien explorer surviving in the wilderness is filmed, and those different natural scenery are naturally the most heartwarming pictures for the freedom fighters trapped in this training hall.
The second program is "Free Kill League Live Broadcast", after all, as a freedom fighter, you can learn more about the game by watching this, especially sometimes there will be people you know who are playing the game, and everyone will come around to watch it.
Whenever someone from the same guild wins, people cheer, and when they see someone from the same guild being killed, people sigh again, it seems that empathy is applicable to most aliens, even if it is from different planets, but just because they are training in the same guild, everyone will naturally have a centripetal force.
The third show is a very weird food show, called "Alien Kitchen", the reason why it is weird is because every time this show is broadcast, there is always a drooling sound in front of the screen, and it seems that everyone is quite dissatisfied with the bad food here.
I watched TV all afternoon, then ate, then continued to watch movies, and didn't go to bed until after ten o'clock in the evening.
It's been a long time since I've been out of Earth that I've slept in such a comfortable bed, and I'm not surprised that I'm not sleeping.
When I woke up the next morning, I felt refreshed, had breakfast, and had been arguing with the other aliens at the dinner table for a while, and before I knew it, it was time to train.
The training time is nine o'clock (the Targre people's concept of time is similar to that of the Earth, and it is also a twenty-four-hour clock, which may also be a result of the convergence of civilizations, but the time of each hour is slightly longer than that of the Earth).
On the one hand, it is to take care of the work and rest time of people on different planets, after all, some aliens sleep twelve or even sixteen hours a day, and on the other hand, it is also because for high-level civilizations like the Tagre, the living conditions are generally relatively favorable, even if it is a harsh lifestyle in their eyes, it is very easy for us people from low-level civilization planets.
(It's like modern people have an eight-hour workday, and in the Industrial Revolution it was normal to work more than ten hours a day.) )
