Chapter 192: Analysis and Preparation
After some statement and analysis, Zhao Wenrui gave the answer, which attracted people's exclamations.
And the ones who felt it the most were naturally Chris Oren and Daniels.
Because the content of Zhao Wenrui's statement of the conversation they would have had was completely in line with their respective train of thought. Both knew for sure that if such a conversation had happened, they would have said those words.
This one is very godly.
After all, the two sides have not met before at all. And the human mind is constantly changing. After experiencing this accident, everyone was touched and their thinking changed to a certain extent.
In this case, Zhao Wenrui can still accurately express what they can say, which is really not explained by ordinary reasons.
And coming from the lower reaches of history is the most self-consistent explanation. Because for Zhao Wenrui, their dialogue is part of history.
Then Zhao Wenrui began to show the PPT to the people in the contract number.
He couldn't have been able to show {Alien: Covenant} and {Prometheus}, the first step in the prequel trilogy. But Milano was strong enough to sort out enough information and pictures based on his memory.
And now, Zhao Wenrui is telling the ins and outs of the contract number to the people of the contract number through these graphic materials.
Wieland is still a well-known company.
However, in the perception of most people who don't know the inside story, Wieland Company was cut off due to operational problems, and was later merged.
Thus was born the current Wieland Yuya Company.
This company is still influential, but the second part of the Alien story. It can be said that it is already a corporate empire.
The giant mineral spaceship where Repley, the protagonist of the first four-part tetralogy, is located, belongs to Wieland Yutani.
The second alien spacecraft, where the alien spacecraft was discovered, is also the atmosphere generation device of the star LV426, which is also owned by Wieland Yuya, and there is a footage of a colony family member riding a tricycle, which will pass by several boxes stacked on the side of the road, and the boxes show that they are the assets of Wieland Yuya.
However, by the time Repley was discovered by the people of the prison planet in the third part, Wieland Yutani was basically finished, and his successor was more ruthless and fierce with a military background.
Zhao Wenrui gave the people of the contract number a science popularization of why Wieland was acquired by Tanggu Company.
Because Wieland's family, Peter Wieland, in order to extend the life of the upcoming station, desperately promoted the Prometheus project.
Guided by an ancient mural from Earth's 10,000-year-old fresco, they traveled to a planet named 'Paradise', which was in the Zeta system, where Prometheus spent more than two years traveling.
Then got some, but lost more.
And finally, Elizabeth Shaw, who is already a little deranged, accompanied by the second-generation cyborg David, looks for the home planet of the engineer family according to the star map of the engineer family, and seeks the reason for the creation of human beings.
Then find Gentle and point out that LV223 is the home planet of the engineer family.
Zhao Wenrui released the appearance and height of the engineer family by the way, and everyone in the contract number naturally exclaimed, because the similarity with people is really high.
Then looking for gentleness explains the origin of the birth of human beings. At least in this world, human beings were born because the broken genes of the engineer family were refilled, and then they evolved step by step.
Speaking of this, Zhao Wenrui said: "This history has given mankind an enlightenment: the creator must be better than his creation?"
Later, from this concept, an important role was introduced: the second generation of cyborg David.
The reason why he is always mentioned as a second-generation cyborg. It is because this generation of cyborgs is not constrained by intelligent design. In other words, their minds are as free as they want to be, and they can let themselves go.
Because of this problem, human society later suffered a rebellion from cyborgs and suffered heavy losses, and then the second generation of cyborgs was basically wiped out.
In this context, the cyborg David actually has his own problems.
When he first served Peter Wieland, he said with some pity and pride: I serve you, and you are human, you will die, I will not.
Therefore, in David's perspective, we can also use the concept of fitness, and the creator must be better by his creation?
Especially after David experienced the engineering is a family incident. It was he who exterminated this civilization and degraded race, and the biochemical weapons that the engineers planned to use to desecrate their genes, referred to as black water, were poured on their heads, which led to the global biochemical spread and the extinction of the race. Even all the animals died.
Then David began to advance the evolution of the creation he had in mind, the alien.
When the alien was in the 'heaven' star, it was just a relatively primitive biological weapon. Of course, its main feature, the blank strand of DNA, which can capture excellent genes and allow it to evolve at a high speed, has already been revealed. Combined with the worms under the damp soil, it has evolved into a very threatening poisonous snake-like Dongdong.
And in the end, it was through the parasitic engineer clan that they evolved a monster that can be called a Titan Alien.
But David felt that the alien was still not perfect at this time. So he advanced the different stages of the evolution of the facetle, making it more insidious and cunning, and more aggressive.
And in the end, he has almost launched a near-stereotyped alien. In fact, the evolution path of the alien can be very rich, such as combining with the genes of the Predator, or the deformed human-like ghost thing that was born at the end of Alien 4.
In short, David is the creator of the alien birth. And I think it's good that the alien surpasses him, the creator.
Philosophers and madmen often coincide with each other. So it's hard to characterize David's state of mind.
But he is undoubtedly harmful to humanity, and that is fully confirmed.
After Zhao Wenrui told about the past, he briefly told what happened to the people on the contract number.
In a word, it is to die of a comic, like the people in the Prometheus, who made a low-level mistake at the level of common sense, and then harmed others and himself, plus David's black pit.
Of course, the blackest is the last, the psychopathic David, who replaces the third-generation cyborgs on the Covenant, or the android Walter.
and successfully deceived Daniels and Tennessee, who successfully got the alien on board, with his actor-level acting skills.
Later, after Daniels entered the capsule, he brutally exposed the truth and killed both Daniels and Tennessee.
Later, during his periodic report to Earth, David reported the death of Daniels and others due to a flare accident that was unique to a new generation of cyborgs, and that the rest continued to Orega-6.
In fact, the embryos of the second generation of humans in the dormant cabin have been replaced with alien embryos, and the nearly 2,000 humans in the capsule are obviously the rations that David prepared for the aliens.
"It must be said that from the downstream of history, the specific exploration of Covenant on Planet LV223 is full of maddening details and errors. It may have something to do with the fact that you were going to Orega-6 and only did the corresponding training there. But there are still a lot of people who say that as adults in the 22nd century, you are so imbecile that even humans who are 100 years ahead of you are not so stupid. ”
Being so sarcastic in front of Zhao Wenrui, of course, it was impossible for everyone in the contract number to be happy, but Zhao Wenrui's explanation report successfully shocked them.
While they felt creepy, they also knew that Zhao Wenrui must have meant something when he said this.
Of course, Zhao Wenrui wants to talk about those points that make people complain.
Of course, in fact, the most worthy point to complain about is that the solar system where LV223 is located is 34 light-years away from the Earth, and the Covenant has arrived nearby in less than two years, which means that the Covenant needs to have the ability to fly at 20 times the speed of light.
In the 21st century, no one will brag about this kind of. And no matter how you calculate, in less than 100 years, human beings have not been able to push engine technology to this height, especially in stark contrast to the Lego-like spaceship, which is quite ironic, more exaggerated than the most primitive unicycle equipped with a rocket engine.
A long-distance interstellar voyage like this is generally considered to require a wormhole in {Interstellar}, or a jump point similar to the Marvel Universe. In short, you can't fly over directly.
All of this is a point of criticism that {Alien: Contract} can't wash anyway.
Compared to the others, it's pediatrics, and it's nothing more than stupidity for the sake of the plot.
Some people say that the technology of this era is already very advanced, and it can remotely detect the adaptability of the planet to the physical environment required for human survival through advanced equipment such as gravitational waves and infrared sensing, and there is no need for aerial photography detection by drones.
But Zhao Wenrui pointed out that you are so skilled and can see the planet's environment so thoroughly from macro to micro, but you haven't found the simplest problem? That is, there is a lot of vegetation here, which explains the story of interacting with animals and insects in the past to this point.
For example, there are bees, butterflies and other pollination, animal droppings and so on to promote soil structure change, and so on.
Now, however, there is a dead silence, no birds, no swimming fish, no cockroaches and rats, not even insects. Don't you think it's weird?
What about the basic logic?
Moreover, since no dusty heteromorphic spores have been found in plants, it means that microscopic technology is still not possible.
So here's the problem, people in the 21st century know the dangers of invasive species, such as carp flooding, crayfish flooding, some kind of termite flooding.
If the ecological chain of a region does not cope with the existence of new species, it will lead to the overflow of species and ecological disasters.
And in such a case, there is nothing wrong with saying the opposite, you are an earthling, you go to a new planet with an absolutely strange environment, the microorganisms and bacteria of that planet are not resistant to you from the earthling, and you can't even recognize them, you dare to let your skin directly contact the river water and lake water, breathe the air there directly, and touch and smell it directly, who gave you the courage? Liang Jingru?
This is definitely the most basic common sense. If you go to an alien planet, even if the environment is suitable, you have to research and develop and then take several rounds of vaccines to deal with the local microecology, bacteria and fungi, otherwise the legendary poison may not be able to withstand it, after all, you are just the earth is not invaded.
So, what are our Covenant expeditions wearing, and what are they doing along the way?
Miserable, spicy eyes. It's completely a mountain camping, or a bunch of laymen who are not led by professionals like Bei Ye.
Pioneering requires a certain sense of adventure, but taking risks is not the same as death, especially in the context of scientific and technological prosperity, human beings should know how to arm themselves scientifically, at least more delicate than those adventurers in the magic world, because there is that condition, basic common sense is also a basket, how can you make such a low-end mistake?
Zhao Wenrui didn't bother to scold these people, because he knew that what was really lacking was the screenwriter, director or budget, you can't expect a little investment, and you have special effects for interstellar navigation, special effects for alien scenery, special effects for big scenes, and special effects for every detail. So you can't take it too seriously.
But now it's all realistic, although there is a certain kind of great power that can carry out all kinds of self-consistency, but Zhao Wenrui also doesn't want to endure the original spicy-eyed comic behavior.
In fact, the people of the Contract have basically believed what Zhao Wenrui said, and they don't want to go to LV223 at all, after all, there will be nothing to gain except death and fear.
Some people even want to say: It's scary outside, I want to go back to Earth.
But Zhao Wenrui said that you have to go, and the historical process should be followed, otherwise there will be serious historical differences, resulting in a lack of stability in time and space, and there will be big problems.
"Of course, I'll provide you with enough advanced equipment, and I don't want to see any of you die. Because your later experiences have little to do with the human subject, whether it is as an alien ration, or die on the road, or reach Orega 6, the result is similar, what the human subject needs is to somehow discover your story on LV223 and roughly deduce the cause and effect. This history, or classified archives, has been successfully obtained by the mainstream of mankind, then it is OK. ”
"So, you still have to play the play that should be played, and then there will be nothing for you. ”
Zhao Wenrui is naturally lying, this world is independent, and whatever this history has changed into by the devil, it will continue to be deduced.
He just wanted to mix in with these people and land on LV223, not play alone in Longtan.
It seems to be a very selfish decision to put these people in danger for their own sake.
But he himself felt that, from the beginning, he had no intention of enjoying the glory of being a savior. Everything is based on utilization. Or an intangible transaction, these people get some and have to pay some, whether they want to or not, or know whether they don't know.
In fact, he didn't think they were in any big danger, to the reincarnators, they were tantamount to sheep, even if they put on advanced power armor suits, they were just goats with horns.
Goats are not much different from sheep when it comes to armed warriors, but at least they can withstand it. This ability is basically enough to deal with the early aliens, especially the ones that are not very numerous.
The alien has not yet formed a system, and it is not until the other Predators discover it and use it as a tool for coming-of-age ceremonies, and with the alien queen, the system can be considered to be developed, similar to the social group with a clear division of labor like bees and ants, and then have the ability to confront the armed team and even destroy civilization.
Now they are just some mysterious assassins, relying on sneak attacks and powerful melee abilities to get things done, once they are figured out, with some wisdom, with the help of some tools, there is still a high chance of killing them.
"In the coming days, you can stay on the Endeavor for a while, and we will go to LV223, according to the historical time inheritance, neither sooner nor later. But in the process, I will do a complete overhaul of the Covenant. In my eyes, it is as unreliable as a sampan. ”
"In the future, you will get a new contract number, and the immigrants will no longer need to be hung in those cremation capsules. You don't have to recharge your energy sail from time to time, you can sail straight to Oregar 6. How's that? Sounds good, right?"
It's good, but it would be better if you didn't go to that damn LV223.
The people of the contract number are now the most worried about this.
But they also know that there is no choice. Zhao Wenrui seems to be kind, but he can't refuse.
For the rest of the time, the people of the Contract were not too sad, except for the imminent landing on LV223 that made them upset, everything else was fine.
Eat well, sleep well, and the environment is also good, the holographic projection garden on the Endeavor is much more deceptive than the wall video stick of the Contract, as if you are really in the garden, and it is also big enough to run a marathon and enjoy the scenery along the way.
In addition, they also had a certain amount of learning, such as combat courses, survival courses, first aid courses, otherworldly nature protection courses, as well as the use of power armor suits, including firearms.
At the same time, it feels good to be armed with knowledge and advanced tools, especially the new motivational armor suit, which is divided into inside and outside, and the inner layer is integrated with the human body to a certain extent, relying on biodynamic principles to operate, which can turn people into little supermen.
Whereas, the outer armor mainly provides protection as well as some other functions. For example, spray bags, such as foot grippers, and professional utensils plug-in systems, weapons and ammunition first-aid kits, etc., can be hung.
When these are all in place, people feel that they are humanoid chariots, with firepower and firepower, defense and defense, and the intelligent brain assistance system of retinal imaging can allow people to obtain information from all aspects at all times, know where their teammates are, know their status, quickly find the enemy, communicate quickly and efficiently, and obtain various information guidance, and even include situation analysis, listing various options for selection.
This feeling of being fully armed with information is more reliable than the feeling of holding a powerful weapon.
In fact, this is the embodiment of high-end individual soldier informatization, which is the same as the battlefield command system, and the commander can clearly know the situation of each unit, and even its emotional fluctuations and ideas can be estimated and deduced.
Commanders can then also get AI-powered command line aids, which are equivalent to having a tactical staff group to assist as long as the relevant information and data are sound. Constantly list the options for the commander to consider and make a choice. It is then achieved through individual execution.
Therefore, each individual soldier is equivalent to having a team endorsing it, and each commander is also equivalent to having a team to support it, and the combat effectiveness born from this kind of cooperation and efficient operation of the team is very powerful.
There are full-time security personnel on the Contract, such as Loop and Hallett, who are veterans of this industry.
Their feelings are the most intuitive, because they can compare horizontally with their past selves. They generally feel that their current self can beat at least 20 of their past selves, and if there is more space and space, and the ammunition replenishment is enough, thirty or fifty are not a problem.
This made them gradually feel that it was actually quite good to go to LV223 to see it. See what those profanity-born horror monsters are.
This may be the difference between people with violent professions and ordinary people, they are not interested in a life that is too comfortable, and they are not interested in adventure and game things.
Zhao Wenrui also gradually discovered the differences between these people through observation and feeling. People are indeed different, and some things are not beautiful when they are forced, so he adjusted some strategies, saying that after the basic training, the remaining in-depth courses are the business of hobbyists, and the previous ones are just to ensure that people can respond correctly in the face of crises as much as possible and protect themselves.
This softened attitude won the secret praise of the crew of the Contract, and some people once thought that Zhao Wenrui was going to form them into a death squad, but now it seems that they should still be in their respective positions in their respective positions in future operations.
The sailing speed of the fleet is much faster than the speed of the Contract itself, so in terms of time schedule, Zhao Wenrui and his party have an advantage.
In fact, there are more advantages, Zhao Wenrui thinks it is some ambiguity in the time in {Alien: Contract}.
This paragraph in the movie is just a glimpse, and it is simply said that it will only take a few weeks to get to LV223 from their current location.
So how many weeks, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 7 weeks? The only thing that limits this time to some extent is that it means that it is just a few weeks that people can pass through in a normal state of life.
In fact, according to this clue, you can calculate how many crew members can be allowed to move normally on the contract, and you can know that it will be about a few weeks.
Specifically, it involves food, oxygen and other living resources, and it is also necessary to consider the estimated consumption of going to Origa-6, and even the additional resources consumed in order to investigate the newly discovered LV223.
Although the contract number will inevitably have some excess reserves in case of accidents. But these can also be estimated, and they can be calculated in great detail. Because Milano's computing function is powerful enough, and there are many sets of algorithms, which are competent enough for the job.
The final result of the calculation was actually 3 weeks, but Zhao Wenrui thought it could be 5 weeks.
It's 3, it's 5, he believes that for the second generation of cyborg David, it's basically insensitive, he has been in LV223 for 10 years, and he releases the signal, but it's just with perseverance, there is always a harvest attitude, anyway, it's the device that sends the signal, and his lifespan is almost infinite, and there are alien research topics, he won't feel bored.
Even today, he is still immersed in the extermination of the Engineers, as he later revealed in his private conversations with Walter. That is, "killing more than 10,000 is a hero, and more than a million is a hero", for which he quoted a 19th-century celebrity, and he was moved to almost tears.
Zhao Wenrui feels that aside from the sick side, David is indeed more engaged and focused than ordinary people in some aspects, and at the same time he has gained a lot of insights, his thoughts are relatively profound, and his knowledge is far more profound than ordinary people.
However, in Zhao Wenrui's view, the future of the library may not necessarily be that of a prophet and a saint. Isn't there such a saying, 'Scholars rebel, three years will not succeed', the depth and breadth of knowledge will make people think more and make less judgments, David obviously does not seem to be a less judgmental, his problem is that he has no taste.
Although he seems to have awakened his feelings, and even said that he loves Elizabeth Shaw who is good to him, Zhao Wenrui still feels that his emotions are very immature, at most they will not exceed the level of a young man, and compared to emotions, the knowledge he has mastered, and the various philosophical topics he carries caused by the events are too profound.
To open a book with a young mind that contains a lot of dark and heavy content, the result is to be hurt and distorted. So Zhao Wenrui said that David was sick and mentally ill.
This psychopath, with the Luciferian pride described in the Bible, felt that he had long been better than the blue.
As for whether this is really the case, Zhao Wenrui doesn't think it matters. What matters is the ripple effect of his mentality.
He patiently and even almost leisurely waited for the fish to take the bait, and probably even deliberately chose the name of "Country Road, Take Me Home", a ballad with a bit of chewy content. It tells the longing for the homeland, which makes people curious and sympathetic.
So whether it's 3 weeks or 5 weeks doesn't mean much to him, he doesn't care about the difference in time.
It is the hostile reincarnation who cares about time, they are very sensitive to this, Zhao Wenrui estimates that if it is more than 7 weeks at most, they will be very suspicious.
Therefore, Zhao Wenrui set the time for 5 weeks, and he asked Milano to help calculate it. That was almost enough time for him to make some more preparations, including completing emergency training for the crew of the Covenant.
And this time is basically enough for him to complete the transformation of the contract number.
In fact, what he is most curious about about the Contract is that in reality, the magic law is how to self-consistent such a voyage data that has been running for more than 2 years and 34 light years.
Zhao Wenrui felt that perhaps this was the biggest additional gain he could get from this mission.
Specifically, Zhao Wenrui chose the moon of the outermost planet in the solar system where LV223 is located, because there are enough resources for him to squander.
This is indeed an ancient sun, and it is not long before it turns into a red giant. Of course, this is only relative to the life cycle of the sun, in fact, it takes tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years, so there is nothing to worry about, and even solar flares can only be said to be unlucky because of the needs of the story.
Soon after landing, a series of operations were carried out in full swing according to the plan.
And then I did find some unusual information......
