Chapter 895 Alien Observation Project (Part 2)

"Actually, you have been away from Earth for more than twenty years, and Earth's technology is constantly improving." Xingjue nodded in agreement with Li Jie's words: "Yes."

you do not say. When he was a child, human beings going to the moon had to broadcast live around the world, and it made it look like an extremely grand festival. Now that human beings have set foot on Neptune, of course they have made a lot of progress.

Li Jie continued to say step by step, "In fact, it's not just the development of military technology and various professional fields. We have also made great progress in the entertainment industry. I don't know if you watched Star Wars when you were still on Earth. series and the Terminator movie?"

"Of course! You must watch it!" Xingjue replied without hesitation: "When I watched Star Wars, I wanted to become an adventurer in the universe, but I really didn't expect that my dream would come true in the end. .” Xingjue sighed with some half-embarrassment and half-humanity.

"But it's a pity that I haven't seen the second part of the Terminator series. At that time, I was kidnapped and left the earth."

Li Jie smiled, and pulled a very large box from his side, which contained a large box full of Blu-ray high-definition 4K discs. He said to Xingjue: "Then congratulations, you can now watch the Blu-ray high-definition 4K reset version of "Terminator 2". I must say that Arnold Schwarzenegger's T800 is his screen in this one." One of the best roles of his screen career. He hasn't made such a good movie since he retired from politics. Hollywood also lost a top tough guy."

Xingjue looked at Li Jie in disbelief, his eyes widened: "What? Arnold Schwarzenegger in politics? Just him? With the same muscles as Drax the Destroyer, he can be in politics?"

Li Jie rubbed his chin, is this cryptically saying that men with big muscles are all brainless? Is this considered black? In fact, Star-Lord is just jealous that the muscular man has a better figure than him?

"There are many things you can't think of." Li Jie handed the box full of high-definition Blu-ray 4K DVD discs to Xingjue's hands and said: "There is also a restart of the Star Wars trilogy in the 1990s after the end. gone."

"George Lucas made the Star Wars prequel trilogy. There are also "The Force Awakens" and "Rogue One" for supplementary settings. You can watch it as a side story."

"In order to make your life less boring while waiting for approval to cross the border, I have specially selected some good movies over the past two decades. "Titanic" is suitable for watching with your girlfriend, and " "Transformers" live-action movie, HBO's classic war TV series "Band of Brothers"." Li Jie said while flipping through the covers of these DVDs.

"There are also "Game of Thrones", "Downton Abbey", "Sherlock Holmes", "Gladiator", "Spartan 300", "Spartacus: Blood and Sand", of course, if you want to take it easy, here There are also various animation works. For example, "Naruto", "One Piece" and so on."

Li Jie's big box was so full that he couldn't even fully explain how many discs were in the first layer. He just handed it over to Xingjue and said, "These are all in English, you probably understand them. As for your companions, you seem to have intelligent translation equipment."

Wow, Xingjue's expression is indescribable, the only expression he can make now is: Wow.

It seems that the officials of the Earth Federation on the opposite side are indeed well-intentioned. Because I have never heard that there are so many movies and TV shows for prisoners in that place. Although the sequels of several series of movies have been released, except for Star Lord, he has never heard of the names of many movies and TV animations.

But this does not prevent him from being very interested in these things. As Li Jie said, society has progressed for more than 20 years, and Xingjue has reason to believe that the shooting of these entertainment movies must also rise to a new level.

"We have installed IMAX-level theater systems for your temporary residence, and there are five of them. In this way, you can find your favorite things to watch or play." Although Xingjue doesn't understand what IMAX is, it seems to be a very Great stuff?

"As for the Nintendo Famicom you mentioned, to be honest, I can get you one. But I guess you can't play Super Mario on a 100-square-meter giant screen, and I'm afraid the picture will be too blurry. I will I'll get you a 20-inch color TV for you to play with. But speaking of which, I must ask you to make a recommendation." When Li Jie said this, he dragged another large box from his right.

He introduced in a slightly proud tone: "These top products of human video game consoles in the past two decades: Sony's PS4 PRO, Microsoft's XBOX-ONE-X, Nintendo's Switch! And the handheld PSV , 3DS, and several of Dell's top alien computers!"

"And I have prepared a large number of games for you! "God of War" series, "Uncharted" series, "GTA5", "Super Mario: Odyssey", "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", "Horizon: Dawn of Dawn", etc. Wait. Since 2010, I have searched for you all the good games with an IGN rating of 8.5 or higher, and you can play them as you like!"

Li Jie talked endlessly: "If you want to read, there are also a large number of e-books for you to read, including various Oriental and American comics, as well as Chinese online literature, etc. If your smart translation equipment is not very Spiritual words, we can help translate together......"

Xingjue was still dizzy when he left with two big boxes. When did people on Earth become so enthusiastic? Temporary detention actually gives so many benefits? Let the prisoners have fun?

Even the man in the hood just said that he could collect some very good albums for Star-Lord over the years. But at the same time, I regretfully told Xingjue: the news that Michael Jackson had passed away a few years ago. Star-Lord felt very sad about this.

Even after Xingjue left, Li Jie began to use computers to record and classify recipes and menus, as well as various beverages and drinks on the earth. He planned to make a very detailed list for the Guardians of the Galaxy to choose from.

Bentoni Stark didn't understand what Li Jie was trying to do, so he raised his own question: "Are you going to raise them like uncles? I don't see who you are If you have cared so much, I am afraid that Mage Lan has never been cared by you like this."

"No, I care more about her than this, it's just that there's no need to show it to you." Li Jie answered Tony's question without raising his head: "As for why you did this? Don't think it's just another way to show them off." Be an uncle. In fact, we are conducting a very serious social observation experiment."

Li Jie was quickly handling the work in hand, with a serious expression on his face. There is no such heartless feeling when chatting with Xingjue just now.

And Li Jie's words also aroused the unanimous curiosity of the leaders of the Illuminati. Dr. Banner asked curiously, "So what do you want to observe?"

"About entertainment. In fact, both Thor and Star-Lord have inadvertently revealed a very small detail just now. That is the entertainment culture of the earth. Including food, various drinks, and various things to play, these Things that other civilizations lack.”

Li Jie tapped on the keyboard for a moment: "No, it should not be said to be lacking. It should be said that they are not as diverse as the earth, and they seem relatively simple."

"In fact, communication with alien civilizations is inevitable. How can we gain a foothold in this vast universe when we may be completely behind in terms of technology and science?"

Li Jie stood up and pointed at the dark universe outside the star port, saying: "This dark universe is like the most peaceful deep sea. No one knows what is hidden in it. Our civilization is just a journey on this endless deep sea." A dilapidated sampan. We don’t have huge ships of 10,000 tons, and we don’t have strong ships and guns.”

"But now we set sail without hesitation, ready to find a new world of our own in this endless dark sea. Our civilization has always suffered from hardships, and many of these hardships are not caused by extraterrestrial civilizations, but by We created it ourselves."

"Although we kill each other and fight for some resources. But when the war or dispute comes to an end, there will always be someone who puts down the weapon in his hand, picks up the dusty guitar again, and plays the pianist again. Those beautiful black and white keys."

"We humans are very good at entertaining ourselves, and we are very good at how to heal the pain. In the era when we could not eat meat, we invented canned ham (ham sausage), and used this thing to deceive and anesthetize ourselves. The pink When the ham is sliced ​​and placed on a white china plate, we always say: Look! Life is not so difficult, I can still eat meat, can’t I?”

"In the years of the Great Depression, workers could save half of their breakfast money to buy a newspaper of the day. Comfort themselves with the serialized stories on it. Or read the little jokes on it for fun. Although hungry, but Life is always easier when you can laugh." (Note)

"Let's say that Venezuela's economy is collapsing now, they can't buy anything in their supermarkets, and riots happen all day long. But there are still people living in this troubled country, making games with their only remaining enthusiasm for life .Because when we focus on something we are interested in, maybe the gunshots sounding not far away will not look so scary."

"The universe is big and we're small. If there's one thing that allows us to sail alone in this dark sea and not be so afraid. I think it's our culture."

Li Jie took a deep breath: "This is probably the only material we can use to strengthen our small sampan sailing in the dark universe."

"Asymmetrical wars are never won solely by force. The prosperity of civilization and even the life and death of individuals are never judged purely and one-sidedly from a material point of view. Maybe I'm a little whimsical, but maybe." Li Jie stretched out his index finger, and he His gaze was firm.

"I mean maybe, maybe we can rely on culture to fight a war without gunpowder? Whether it's movies, games, food, books. We should use all the power we can borrow. Star Wars may be fought, but After the interstellar war is over, we must find a way to put our civilization on a firm footing."

"A cultural export war may be about to start. And now, they (Xingjue et al.) are what we are doing to prepare for it. So I said this is a social experiment. We have five very different research objects. Star-lord aside, we also have four completely different alien research objects."

Li Jie looked at Professor Charles and said: "Professor, please, you are an excellent sociologist and behaviorist. I think you have to follow these people during this period of time, what they like, what they hate, what they pursue. With enough data, we can use our cultural cards when facing other similar alien civilizations in the future!"

Note: As mentioned earlier in this book through the dialogue between Dr. Banner and Katyusha, the Great Depression period before World War II was an inexplicable period of prosperity for the American publishing industry. Everyone escapes the distress of reality through virtual stories.
