Chapter 242: A World Set with a Complex Background
The background setting of Elysium is very complex, far richer than the plot explained in the movie, and it can even be said to be profound, what happened to the actor Max is only the tip of the iceberg of the background setting.
This is also what Zhao Ze learned through the electronic housekeeper Winnie after entering this world.
Fortunately, although the world has developed artificial intelligence, it has not developed strong artificial intelligence - that is, intelligent programs at the level of Jarvis and Veronica.
In other words, he can directly connect to the world's network terminals through Winnie without worrying about being discovered.
Now in the year 2154, the world is divided into two classes, on one side is the wealthy class, who live in the sky city of Elysium near the surface of the earth, where the beautiful environment, free from disease, and leisurely life, this is paradise.
On the other side is the poor class, which survives on the earth, where the ecological environment is severely damaged, the population is overpopulated, and people have to work excessively every day to support themselves.
The original plot is based on this to start the conflict.
The world of Elysium fictionalizes an incomparably powerful company, whether it is the umbrella in the biochemical world or the Welland enterprise in the world of Prometheus, they all have a common name, called "The Man Behind the Scenes".
These companies are arguably wealthy, with technology, manufacturing, and even military power in their hands, which have almost changed the history of human development and ushered the planet into a new era.
In addition, they also have a common fetish, which is called "not to die uncomfortable". In the worldview of all similar movies, the story of the movie is all planned by this idle egg-hurting company.
They dedicate the twists and turns of the worldview to the audience, and also dig a grave for themselves, which is also what these companies have in common.
The giant company of Elysium is called "Armadyne", which is transliterated as "Amdyne", and it is the largest cross-sector conglomerate on the planet, and it is this company that has built the ring city - Elysium in low earth orbit.
However, Armadyne is only a company and does not have the management rights of Elysium, they only cooperate with the government, and since the construction of Elysium was completed in 2097, they have enjoyed all the property rights of Elysium.
In the age of the movie, human beings are divided into two classes, one is the citizen, who lives in Elysium, and the other is called "citizen", who lives on the earth, and is more appropriately called a commoner.
In 2013, the founder of Armadyne, Witt. Waite Sapphire graduated from Stanford University's computer science department -- and here is a conflict with the plot of the movie, in which John Sapphire is set in the film. Carlisle is the founder of this company.
Headquartered just outside of Los Angeles, California, Armadyne began as a computer company. Schiffel has invested in factories in China, Mexico and Malaysia.
In 2025, Werther. Schiffel had an ambitious public declaration: to carry out the biggest project ever.
A year later, Armadyne developed a humanoid robot for peacekeeping use, with the first destination being Pyongyang, North Korea.
In 2033, Werther. Schiffel hires John. Carlisle - the one who was killed by mistake in the original plot, is a child prodigy who wrote the SABRE Brain Defense System.
Four years later, the construction of the Ring City Elysium began.
In 2052, the fully automated medical platform Medpod1000 will be unveiled - the fully automated operating table in Prometheus is called Medpod720i.
In 2076, Armadyne developed an engineering humanoid robot and invested in the construction of Elysium.
In 2092, the research and development of Medpod2000, a fully automated medical platform, was completed, which can cure cancer.
In 2154, the development of Medpod3000 was completed, and the last disease known to mankind had been conquered.
The above is the most basic background setting of the Elysium world, but the setting of the plot of the movie obviously has to be several years in advance, such as the development of Medpod3000
Elysium began in 2037 and took 60 years to complete, with the completion of the general construction in 2097 and the completion of the first human air migration, and over the next 50 years, Armadyne continued to refine Elysium and contracted all the rights to produce its products.
Since Armadyne is just a company, just a contractor, they cooperate with the Elysium Management Committee to complete the product agency, such as the Citizen Cooperative Administration, which is responsible for security and defense, and its security robot is provided by Armadyne.
The "Bliss" space lives up to its name.
The actual number of inhabitants of this huge annular space station is only a pitiful 7,946 - less than 8,000 people, and the total area of space is 250 square kilometers.
Armadyne has accomplished a feat in the history of human medicine, with the development of the most advanced medical table, Medpod3000, which represents a miracle that mankind has been able to cure all known diseases.
However, in Zhao Ze's view, this is a typical black technology that deliberately appeared for the sake of the plot.
The appearance of the Medpod3000 is just a medical bed, just lie on it and scan, all diseases are quickly diagnosed and treated, even cancer is as simple as a small cold.
Medpod3000 can also maintain the various functions of the human body without decay, and under this care, the average lifespan of Elysium residents is three times that of humans on Earth.
In addition to maintaining youthful youth, medical cosmetology can reconstruct a person's skin in the event of a traumatic injury, such as creating an entire face, in less than a minute.
Others, including plastic surgery, hair coloring, changing skin tone, etc., are a piece of cake.
In Zhao Ze's view, there is nothing more absurd than this.
Medical devices like the Medpod3000 are only available to Elysium!
On the other hand, the medical institutions on the earth are actually no different from more than a hundred years ago, which is why the civilians on the earth in the movie are desperately trying to smuggle into Elysium.
Medical treatment became the cause of the plot of the movie.
What makes Zhao Ze speechless the most is not this, but the number of robots made by Armadyne.
8.9 billion - that's right, that's all Earth and Elysium combined, the total number of robots used!
There are so many robots, why not? Why is it used to suppress the civilians of the planet?
Even if the earth's environment deteriorates to the point where it is unsuitable for human habitation, what are nearly 10 billion robots for? Is it used as an ornament?
With so many robots, even if a small part is divided and used specifically to govern the environment, there should be a lot of results, right?
Of course, the setting of science fiction movies itself is unreasonable, which is a normal thing, and Zhao Ze doesn't need to delve into it so much, he just thinks that people who live in Elysium have problems with their brains.
……
Perhaps because of Zhao Ze's appearance, Max did not encounter the robot police on the way to work in the car, so he was lucky to escape - in the original plot, his arm was broken by the robot police because of his cheap mouth.
And because he didn't go to the hospital, he and his childhood sweetheart's heroine Frey didn't have a chance to reunite again.
The plan to infiltrate the factory went well, and it was impossible for the factory's detection system to detect whether Zhao Ze was carrying a weapon.
However, on the manager in charge of the workshop workers, Zhao Ze was deflated.
The reason is very simple - this old guy who was extremely mean to Max in the original plot was not willing to accept more people to work in the factory at all, even if Max on the side said all the good things, but was deducted from one day's wages by the other party.
If it weren't for the fact that he had just harvested a large piece of gold from Zhao Ze that was enough for him to squander for a few years, Max would really have the heart to put aside his relationship with Zhao Ze.
In the end, it was still the same old as the most effective, Zhao Ze pulled this person who was similar to the "workshop director" to a remote corner and relieved him with a palm-sized piece of gold.
After successfully blending into the factory, Zhao Ze raised his head and glanced at it, and soon found the "office area" set up at the height of the factory. Carlisle stood in front of a transparent floor-to-ceiling window, monitoring the workers as they started their work, and talking to the video window on the floor-to-ceiling window.
Until the other party ended the video conversation, Zhao Ze saw the opportunity and flashed, and the next second appeared accurately in John. Carlisle was behind him, and as fast as he could, he stabbed the syringe gun in his hand into the opponent's neck.
John. Carlisle didn't have time to react at all, and he had already been hit.
At this moment, the machine guard waiting at the door rushed in, but Zhao Ze stretched out his hand and pulled the guard's head directly with his mental power.
Having lost their heads, the robot guard immediately stopped moving.
At the same time, John. Carlisle also became Zhao Ze's puppet.
The whole process did not take more than five seconds, and this scene was not discovered by others, and Zhao Ze also put his mind at ease and began to order John. Carlisle first solves the problem of identity for him.
The issue of identity is very critical, if there is no legal identity, Zhao Ze will not be able to enter the Elysium at all, even if he forcibly lands, it is very likely that someone will be hit down halfway with a missile.
On the other hand, his telekinesis ability is not as strong as he imagined, or it has certain limitations, he can move at will within the earth, no matter how far away he can reach it instantly, but he can't do it when it comes to Elysium.
Zhao Ze can clearly see Elysium, if he uses the remote magnification mode of his glasses, he can even see the crowd of people moving outdoors in the space station, but he has tried several times, but he can't teleport over, which is why he wants to control John. Carlisle's main reason. (To be continued.) )
