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, Shimizu Tsuke's eyes immediately shone. His body leaned forward, even causing the side to look at him in surprise.

"Star Trek"...

Although Tsuke Kiyomizu is not old, he has long been concerned about the development of Hollywood movies. He has watched two TV series with a total of about 100 episodes, including four movies!

At this time, the curvature navigation suddenly mentioned in "Alien II" was first proposed by "Star Trek"!

This technology is easy to understand. It is to drive the spacecraft through the transformation of space-time itself, and to use loopholes in the laws of physics to break the limit of the insurmountable speed of light.

Because the space of the universe is not actually flat, but has curvature, just like the surface of any sphere has countless tangents, but the curvature of space does not exist only on the surface, but on the surface of countless.

The function of the curvature engine is to smooth out the space "rear" of the spacecraft like an iron ironing the folds of clothes. Or like a piston, shrinking and expanding the space in the front and back respectively. Then under the action of the law of conservation of mass and energy, the space where the spacecraft is located will naturally be "dragged" and moved 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 surpass light, this is the most direct way to reach the super-light speed!

"So Alice is still a space science fiction fan..."

Shimizu Tsuke would not think that these lines were added by director Cameron. Although that person made a movie like "Terminator", he would not reveal this kind of knowledge that was completely incompatible with the plot itself in the details.

The surprise and joy in his heart were suppressed for a while. Shimizu Tsuke first looked at the two girls beside him happily, and then continued to concentrate on the movie itself.

The plot of the movie continues.

Although it took fifty-seven years, the "company" that sent Ripley to take on the business cargo spacecraft still exists. According to their records, Ripley started the spacecraft self-destruction device for "unexplained reasons", so it naturally reached the accountability stage.

It was on this huge triangular space base built by the company that was built, and in a conference room with shiny metal wall panels, a court sentence was underway. The company invited a judge from the "federal government" over the grounds that Ripley destroyed the company's property.

They are all very small details, but many viewers who are used to watching science fiction movies are keenly aware that the director and screenwriter are subtly building a rigorous and grand worldview.

Since humans have entered the interstellar era after all, and Ripley is not a scheming character, she honestly made a written report on the existence of the alien and her crew and submitted it to the company's senior management.

When this plot was just staged, Tsuke Shimizu frowned with heartache.

Tell a group of "ordinary people" about the existence of "monsters"?

How could this be believed?

This was the first thought of Tsuke Kiyomizu, but then, as he watched the plot develop, he suddenly realized that this was already the interstellar era. "Alien" in 1979 did not describe the world view in depth like "Star Trek". Perhaps humans had encountered other alien creatures long ago?

Maybe it is true, but the suspicion has not been dispelled. However, in Shimizu Tsuke's view, this suspicion is really reasonable and evidence-based, which makes people unable to be angry with the company.

First, for a full fifty-seven years, the company had inspected the wreckage of the self-destructed spacecraft, and no traces of the aliens were found, and no clues were found in Ripley's escape pod.

Although Ripley was extremely angry about this, he could only admit that he was unlucky. Because there was only one alien from beginning to end, and when he finally wiped it out, he also broke the glass of the escape compartment and threw the alien out of the spacecraft with the air pressure difference. It would be strange if there were any traces left.

If I had known it, I would have changed my way to clean it up...

Remaining thoughts...

Then, the focus of the plot came.

Ripley questioned the judge: Haven't you sent someone to the lv-426 asteroid to conduct on-site inspection? There are thousands of hungry alien eggs there!

Thousands of eggs, if one of them gets into a spaceship, everyone will have to finish playing!

"Yes, yes, there is still this evidence!"

Seeing this, Fazi said excitedly, his fists clenched.

However, the judge ignored Ripley's roar and simply sentenced her to the result of her treatment: Ripley, military number nrc14472, is not suitable for holding an ICC license and serving as a Star Flying Officer because of improper judgment. Therefore, we will permanently revoke his license."

"At present, we will not prosecute you for any crime, but you will receive six months of psychotherapy and be examined by an ICCP psychologist once a month. The court adjourns."

The verdict was easily decided, and Ripley's previous statement about asteroids was coldly accepted by everyone. For a moment, the entire cinema was silent, and Fako and Michiko sat side by side, feeling very puzzled by the judge's inexplicable judgment.

Fortunately, it was not only the audience who was puzzled, but even Ripley was puzzled by this result. So, when most people walked out of the conference room, she directly stopped the judge and questioned him: "Why don't you directly check the situation of lv-426?"

"Because that's not necessary."

Just as everyone was waiting for the judge to say something bad, he replied: "Because people have lived there for twenty years and have never said anything abnormal."

"Nani!?"

As soon as these words were said, Fazi immediately covered his mouth and exclaimed. In the cinema, which was originally quiet, there were young people screaming everywhere, and they were mainly women.

Ripley was also surprised and said, "What do you mean? Why do you live in it?"

"Planet transformer, engineer!"

There were people around walking out of the room, and the judge patiently explained to Ripley: "They went to install an atmospheric generation device for further interstellar colonization. In fact, they were already the first colonizations. The entire project took ten years, so it was no longer necessary to wear an oxygen hood when going out!"

In just a few short sentences, the amount of information revealed was so much that it almost knocked all the audience to death. For a moment, there were waves of emotion in the seat, and many people couldn't help but talk.

"The imagination of Americans is really rich. Atmospheric generation devices are so tempting!"

"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 Interstellar Discovery, but what is their time standard? What about the pace of life? Twenty years..."

The discussion fell before much sounded, because the main content mentioned by these lines appeared on the screen immediately.

The asteroid lv-426, a colonial planet inhabiting three hundred households.

It was late at night, and gusts of wind blew up light blue sand and dust. Looking ahead from a cliff, you could see huge buildings like fortifications on the battlefield, looming in the wind and sand. At the same time, yellow lights were also flashing, which could make people more clearly construct the distribution of the entire building complex.

The screen switches. According to the comparison of the light bulbs on the top, the metal-built wall is about five meters high. One side of it has an inclination angle of 80 degrees, but the other side is undoubtedly completely vertical. In fact, it is such a small detail that once again made the audience notice the producer's sincerity.

It is very exquisite, which is everyone's first feeling. The wall on the screen is more than ten meters long, and there is a metal gate that is slowly opening horizontally. There is no trace of rough welding at all. The entire wall and door body are like poured in one breath.

"It's an aluminum alloy. This metal absorbs heat slowly and dissipates heat quickly. Otherwise, no one would dare to touch these walls during the day!"

A person suspected of being a science and engineering student spoke, but no one paid attention to him. Everyone was attracted by the behemoth that appeared next.

The huge engineering car has four rows of thick tires, and eight wheels carry a angular giant, which drives into the base with a rumble roar.

The next plot is a view of daily life in the colony. A large number of engineers are working in an office building, with metal products and angular structures everywhere. According to the simple dialogue between the two supporting characters, the audience quickly understood a very simple thing.

For this group of engineers, riding an all-terrain motor vehicle to explore various parts of the asteroid is a glory like a cowboy in the west to explore the gold mine. Everyone is waiting in line to get on the "all-terrain motor vehicle". Anyone who can find any precious minerals in the wild, such as various elements rare on the earth, will make them get a huge fortune from the "company"!

"Did you see that? I've been talking about that 'company' from beginning to end."

Fazi noticed this and muttered to Michiko: "It seems to be mentioned in the first part, but it is just a background information. Now it seems that the director wants to shape it into a super big chaebol at the interstellar level!"

This time, Michiko didn't have 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 showing up at this moment.

"They won't have any trouble, are they?"

Michiko said nervously: "This colony will definitely be attacked by aliens. What should these children do?"

Shimizu Tsuke sat next to them and said in agreement, "This is the director's purpose, the sinister Cameron!"
