Chapter 889 Differences in Earth Culture

"My hometown, Earth, is a backward but beautiful planet. Our civilization has just stepped into space, and the last satellite (moon) is enough for astronauts to blow their lives."

"Our means of transportation are still very backward. We still use wheeled vehicles on the ground. Those with four wheels are called cars, and those with two wheels are motorcycles (there are also bicycles driven by human power)."

Star Lord Peter Jason Quill described this with full of reminiscence.

Gamora: "It sounds really backward. A human-driven vehicle? What's the point of that? It's not as fast as an exoskeleton."

Star-Lord waved his hand, he was a little upset that Gamora interrupted him, he continued: "That's a different thing. Riding a bicycle is enjoying the fun of pedaling. I had a bicycle like that when I was a kid. It’s natural, and my mom helped me make decorative tassels out of leather on the handlebars of my bike.”

"It makes my bike look as cool as a cowboy ride."

Rocket Raccoon said to Groot in a low voice: "Look, Star-Lord pretends to be deep when he's not dancing. But he's not like that at all!"

Groot: "I AM Grood."

Rocket Raccoon nodded: "You also agree with my persuasion, think what I said is very reasonable, buddy. The best thing for Star-Lord is to dance, not pretend to be a poet."

Drax the Destroyer was sharpening his alloy knife, as if he had no interest in participating in this discussion.

Xingjue didn't feel uncomfortable because of his companion's ridicule, anyway, his thick skin made him completely immune to these things. He continued to imagine and recall: "Although the earth is poor, barren, backward, and even a little wild, I think it is the most attractive planet in the entire universe."

"Haha." Gamora's laughter was very dry, like a desert, and it was perfunctory.

"Hey! I'm serious! Listen to this music!" Star-Lord threw the album cover of "Golden Songs of the Eighties" on the table: "Have you heard such good music on other planets?"

"If you don't start dancing every time you hear these music, then I admit that they are really beautiful. But every time you dance awkwardly makes me very uncomfortable." Drax the Destroyer said.

"Every time you twist your body while dancing, I want to slash your neck and bleed you."

Star-Lord waved his hand: "You can't do this, this is the charm of music. It is human nature to twist your body to the beat of the music. And it's not just me dancing, don't you all dance?"

Looking at Drax's increasingly cold eyes, Star-Lord decided to change the subject: "Besides music, there are many other attractive things on Earth, which I have never seen in so many universes."

Gamora flicked her hair: "Tell me."

"For example, movies use visual illusions and lens language, plus script lines and actors' performances. They interpret various stories for us on the big screen. Of course, most of them are fake, but they are extremely Charming. And TV shows on the small screen, and sim games, and all sorts of other pastimes."

The more Xingjue talked, the more excited he became: "Since I plan to go back to Earth this time, I will make up all the Hollywood blockbusters that I haven't watched in these years! The second part of "Terminator" will be released. No. And I’m going to a Michael Jackson concert! And I’m going to buy an FC to play! My mother never allowed me to play games for too long.”

"I'm going to try to clear "Mario" and "Contra" with one life, as well as "Rockman" and "Sandraman"!"

Xingjue found that he needed to make up for many childhood regrets on the trip back to Earth. It is estimated that this trip to Earth will take a lot of time.

Gamora couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard what Xingjue said: "Do you people on Earth like to indulge in self-deception so much?"

"Watching movies, playing games, watching TV shows and magic. Aren't these all fake? Why spend time on these fakes? Do you guys like to use various ways to deceive your senses so much?" Gamora still can't figure out why humans like Star-Lord are so addicted to these entertainment activities that they can't extricate themselves.

Star-Lord shrugged: "I think it's probably because of the lack of materials. As I said before, the earth is a very barren place. Being able to break out of the atmosphere and go to the moon is already a remarkable achievement. Our planet lacks high-grade materials. Isotopes. It is inherently much worse than the development of many civilizations."

"I remember that the energy conversion method on the earth is also very backward. In many cases, it is necessary to sacrifice the environment and even life and health in exchange for the development of civilization. And because the energy is poor, many world-class wars broke out inside the earth."

Star-Lord scratched his head: "It's unbelievable to say that we still had more than two hundred countries when the people on Earth rushed out of the atmosphere. We were on a barren planet and split into different countries and forms, but there were still people who stepped into it. went into space and landed on the moon. This is completely different from other civilizations, which basically tend to be unified when they step into space."

"And many of civilization's thermonuclear weapons and similar weapons of mass destruction were developed in the space age. But the earth invented rudimentary thermonuclear weapons decades before going into space. We use these Weapons that cause irreversible damage to the environment are fighting each other across our planet."

"It's unbelievable." Gamora said in disbelief after listening to Star-Lord's introduction: "According to what you said, the people on Earth are even more aggressive than the Tauri people. At least they won't be on the planet where they live. Throw any weapon with nuclear fusion and nuclear radiation on it."

"Yeah, it's really weird. You haven't become as easy to kill as the Chitauri. You're right, Drax." Rocket patted his thigh against Drax's. Said.

Drax didn't answer, he just looked at Xingjue with some doubts in his eyes.

"Yes, this is the difference between the people on Earth and the Chitauri people and other civilizations." Star-Lord spread his hands and said seriously: "Our civilization is crowded and narrow, resources are scarce and wars are frequent. The small earth must be crowded. With a population of six billion (Earth's population statistic when Star-Lord left)."

"We are like sardines living in cans. The bigger the city, the more developed the area. The people on the earth live in a crowded life, and even breathing fresh air has become a luxury. Perhaps it is because of this Make a difference in the culture of the planet."

Xingjue thought about this question very seriously: "Most of the other civilizations that can enter the era of interstellar civilization have better conditions and resources than the earth. But the earth does not have it. Maybe it is these things that make the earth come to the present. Self-deceiving stuff."

"We use various ways to deceive our own senses and empty our brains. Watch a 90-minute movie and put ourselves in another world. Read a novel that opens up our minds and let ourselves fly into another world. A journey of life. Watching a magic show, nervous and admiring for the process that knows there will be a happy ending."

"We play games, we listen to music, we dance and sing. Everything is for us to temporarily put aside our troubles. Only in this way can human beings survive in this difficult world. And keep moving forward. Because The world is very painful, but we try our best to make our lives less painful. This is probably the greatest charm of earth culture."

All that Star-Lord said made Kazuki, the other three members of the Guardians of the Galaxy, fall into thinking. And they are now more and more interested in the earth. A world with a low level of civilization, but where various brilliant cultures have been born.

What is this world like? Everyone is looking forward to it.

The interstellar transition has begun to stop and slow down, and everyone in the Guardians of the Galaxy can already see the burning sun and the outermost planet of the solar system-Pluto.

"Earth! My hometown! I'm coming back!" Star-Lord Quill was extremely excited. He had many childhood dreams waiting to come true! Even if the earth is backward, it is still my hometown in the barren!

Just when Xingjue was about to return to the embrace of Mother Earth, a group of star fleets had already targeted them and opened the weapon safety.
