Chapter 231: I Want It All
Yes, this is not a movie shown on the screen, but a cold and cruel complex event that involves three civilizations.
Between the Star Empire, Pandora Navi, and RDA Business Corporation, Shen Sen didn't know what role the Star Empire should play in it.
Reach out to the Na'vi people or the RDA miners first?
Do you choose to help the aggressor corporations that are only motivated by commercial interests, or do you seem to be rebelling against the mining companies in order to survive?
Avatar movies directly narrate the absolute concept of justice and villainy to all audiences.
In the movie, the protagonist is a veteran officer with disabled legs from human civilization, and in the end he becomes a Na'vi with sound limbs, and marries the daughter of the tribal chief, and finally becomes the protagonist of the tribal chief's dragon Aotian. And RDA is undoubtedly on the side of the villain, the evil aggressor who invades Pandora.
However, for the mining companies of the RDA, the protagonist is undoubtedly a traitor to the earth, a traitor to humanity.
Traitors are a fact.
But it is unknown whether the mining company can represent the home planet and human civilization behind the RDA.
In the movie, it was only a company and a small poke of mercenaries who invaded Pandora.
Mercenaries are farther away from humans than their home planet is from Pandora. Energy companies and mercenaries are not representative of human civilization.
Just like Shen Sen's previous life, the world did not recognize the invaders who waged wars for resources. In fact, the protagonist does not approve of the unjust war waged by commercial companies for their own selfishness.
What kind of person is the main character, Jack Sully?
A disabled veteran, who has no money for a leg treatment, was picked by a mining company to manipulate Avatar because his brother died, and was also despised and discriminated against by fellow scientists.
A disability who is not well received, this is the human identity of Jack Sully.
But when he manipulated Avatar, he was no longer disabled, he had a body that was beyond the reach of earthlings, and he could only be trapped in a small dark room all day long, but now he can go to heaven and earth and do anything.
It's like a person who is often bullied in real life, but as soon as he enters the game world, he is invincible, is it possible for him to identify with and desire the game world more?
The so-called teammates in the movie are just a greedy capital company, not tasked with saving human explorers, they are more worried about the price of stocks than the fate of mankind.
This makes it difficult for the protagonist to identify with them, and the Pandora people are still in a tribal society, they have no desires, no oppression, and people and nature live in harmony, which seems to be an ideal social state.
Of course, the reason why the protagonist and his party rebelled against humans and even got in harmony with an alien female creature may have another very important aspect, that is, the humanoid Na'vi are a bit similar to humans.
Whether it is their appearance or social relations, there is a sense of déjà vu of the primitive tribal state of human civilization.
To put it simply, although the aliens in Avatar are very different in size from humans, human beings feel that this is a human face when they look at them, they are so strange and beautiful, and their customs are so similar to the mainstream moral concepts of human beings, they are definitely not bad people.
If the Na'vi look like aliens, mate like bed bugs, and breed like spiders, how much sympathy will there be to support the protagonist in protecting the alien ecosystem?
Therefore, the traitor status of the male protagonist is irrefutable.
Humanity never thinks of reserving compassion for the mosquitoes, bugs, viruses, and bacteria on the planet.
The greater the genetic gap, the greater the difference in life customs, physiological structure, appearance, and face, and the less empathy.
For the sake of so-called moral justice and humanity, why would anyone be willing to sacrifice the interests of a group that is closer to their own genetic relationship and stand on the side of an opponent who is not of my race?
In the past, Shen Sen might have analyzed it from the aspect of social ethics, but now he unconsciously analyzes it from the level of biological genetic instinct.
You must know that the moral justice of human civilization is reserved for oneself, and the ultimate purpose of biological existence is that each gene replicates and spreads its own genes as much as possible.
How can we protect and treat genes that are different from our own?
From the point of view of cosmic biological communication, perhaps in the form of compassion, helping beings who are similar to oneself is actually helping oneself.
The party is the same and the party is different, it's as simple as that.
From the perspective of the protagonist, he helped the Na'vi not only get a new and powerful body, spread their genes, but also get recognition and satisfaction that they could not get in the human collective.
Starting from the egoistic instinct of the creature, his choice is in line with his own interests and needs.
Jack Sully chose to help the Na'vi, dominated by the genetic instincts and righteous morality that drive his actions, and no one can say when humanity does not fully understand itself.
However, from a realistic point of view, the actions of the RDA mining company are illegal, and the actions of the protagonist are also anti-human.
So Shen Sen decided that he didn't choose either side.
Justice comes after survival, as the head of the Empire of the Stars, he shoulders the hope of tens of billions of people who yearn for a better life, and it is his priority to continuously enhance the strength of the country and improve the people's living standards with rational decisions.
So, the only thing he was interested in now was how to get something powerful from the planet Pandora against the Star Empire.
There are only two things that Shen Sen wants in this new world, one is the planet Pandora, and the other is the mining company.
In other words, he doesn't choose, he wants them all.
Judging from the current situation, the Star Empire is still relatively lucky, and it has an advantage.
The exploitation of Pandora is only a mining company, not a formal state organization.
The mining companies do not carry weapons of mass destruction due to the laws of the home planet, and their weaponry is much worse than that of the Na'vi, but it is much worse than that of the Star Empire.
For example, their power armor, single weapon, bulky movements, and no heavy firepower, are not at all the opponents of the Star Empire mechas.
Secondly, the Star Empire has a space-time channel, and it can almost be said that there is no distance limit from Pandora, as long as Shen Sen needs to send hundreds of thousands of troops to join the battle in one day.
Imagine the Chinese network
Mining companies are different, although their starships use antimatter engines and are powered by light sails, they are too far away from Pandora, and it takes more than ten years to travel back and forth.
At such a distance, it is a huge difficulty to disseminate information, let alone mobilize troops to fight a large-scale civilized war.
The home field advantage is in the Empire of Stars, and there are many options to choose from, and you can do whatever you want.
Thinking of this, Shen Sen also made a decision in his heart.
