Chapter 354 Environmental Public Opinion
This episode ends here, but the impact of this episode is far greater than the episode where Tamiya Yoshiko died!
Because in this episode, the "speech" of Mayor Guan Gangzhi and the fact that his real identity is not a parasite but a human being are even more shocking.
It can be said that this episode may be the theme of the comic "Parasyte" and the ideological core of this comic!
And everyone thinks that what Guan Gangzhi said makes a lot of sense.
Especially now, the topic of environmental protection is still very popular around the world.
Even though it is different from the environmental protection organizations in Europe and the United States that hold parades every day and do some performance art every day to hinder the lives of others.
The Republic is also deliberately promoting obvious and down-to-earth policies to protect the environment, such as garbage sorting, garbage recycling, no fire in the mountains, and prohibiting the hunting, buying, selling and cooking of wild animals.
Not to mention the hardworking people of the Republic, who are also fully implementing the grand event of greening and afforestation in the northwest desert area of the motherland.
It can be said that in this world at this time, the importance of protecting the environment has been realized in this large range of the world.
It's just that some people promote environmental protection with great fanfare, but they treat it as a business.
Some people just silently dedicate themselves and only think about truly protecting the environment.
At this time, the people of the Republic have basically realized the importance of protecting the environment through compulsory education, so they all agree with Guan Gangzhi's views on this episode of "Parasyte".
Therefore, the popularity of this episode of "Parasyte" has skyrocketed, and it has even become a hot search again. Not only comic fans, but also other passers-by came in to watch and discuss after seeing it.
"Humanity's arrogance is fully displayed in this episode. They regard parasites as monsters, but in fact, humans themselves are also parasites."
"Guan Gangzhi is also arrogant enough. He is actually wrong. Although humans are parasites that parasitize the earth, can humans destroy the earth? Impossible. In the end, humans will only destroy all life on the earth, including themselves."
"But I think he is right. Don't we humans claim to be the spirit of all things? As the spirit of all things, you should not only care about the reproduction of your own tribe, but also pay more attention to other lives."
"Wrong, humans claim to be the spirit of all things, which is also human arrogance. Why can humans claim to be the spirit of all things?"
"So as the spirit of all things, you should act like the spirit of all things, bastard! Don't just talk and don't do it! Just like if you want to be an emperor, don't just enjoy the rights of the emperor and ignore the obligations of the emperor!"
"That's right. If you enjoy the rights, you must fulfill your due obligations. You can't just enjoy the rights and do nothing!"
"What I didn't expect is... this guy is not a parasite, but a human. However, as a human, he actually helped the parasite. Isn't this a traitor?"
"From the beginning, I always thought that he was no different from the parasite. He was definitely a parasite. Later, he kept saying "we are parasites, we are parasites, we are parasites, we are parasites, we are parasites, we are parasites, we didn't expect that he was actually a human in the end. I can only say... you are worthy of being a Qingshan old thief!"
"This is an honorary parasite, huh, you really think of yourself as a parasite."
"How can Guan Gangzhi be considered a traitor? He didn't join the parasite for the so-called glory and wealth, the so-called survival. He actually cooperated with Tamiya Yoshiko and Hou Teng for his own ideals and to protect the world."
"In fact, from the beginning, Guan Gangzhi was definitely not simply helping the parasite to do evil. You see, he said that he regretted why he didn't turn against him at the beginning. Looking at his previous actions, he helped the parasite to set up a "canteen" and let the parasite hunt according to the rules to fill its stomach... To be honest, these are also to prevent the parasite from killing humans indiscriminately. ”
“But it is exactly as he said. He is just ‘thinning out’ and ‘removing weeds’.”
“He is so arrogant. Who does he think he is? Can he easily decide the lives of others by ‘thinning out’ and ‘removing weeds’?”
“In Guan Gangzhi’s view, humans can decide the life and death of other species. Then the ‘natural enemies’ parasitic beasts above humans can also decide the life and death of food. This is very reasonable.”
“I can’t accept it anyway. He should never help parasitic beasts kill people.”
“Yes, just like the super villain Big Purple Potato in America, it is also to reduce the burden on the entire universe. Big Purple Potato even came to half of its life and turned it into liquid. The idea is good, but the behavior is wrong.
“And talking about environmental protection, these are all extreme ideas that you humans come up with. Guan Gangzhi is too extreme.”
“Seriously speaking, I think what Guan Gangzhi said is very right. Humans really can’t act recklessly, otherwise they will only destroy themselves in the end. ”
“Yes, so it is right to protect the environment. Maybe we will experience short-term pain, but what we will leave to future generations will be a beautiful home on Earth.”
“Very good! Then sister, I am contributing to mankind! Got it, I will say so when the time comes, I wonder how my parents dare to say anything to me.”
“Hhhhh… Don’t worry, I will still be scolded. It is simply not feasible to reason with the older generation.”
…
The impact of this episode of “Parasyte” not only triggered intense discussions in China, but even many UP hosts of C Station came out to express their opinions.
Even TV stations seem to be affected by this environmental public opinion storm, and they have begun to invite experts for interviews to talk about this recently hot environmental topic.
And it also had a lot of impact when it spread abroad.
After all, foreign environmental protection enthusiasts are very vocal and won’t make fun of you.
People in the Republic are always restrained and gentle when talking about environmental protection. When everyone talks about protecting the environment, they will only do practical things quietly and will not cry, make trouble, or hang themselves with you.
If you have the time, it would be better to do more volunteer activities in cleaning up garbage. It would be more practical to plant a tree.
But it is different in foreign countries. In foreign countries, people are really making trouble, or they will directly stick themselves to the road with glue to prevent cars from driving in order to protest against car exhaust.
Otherwise, they hold environmental protection publicity meetings with great fanfare, give passionate speeches at the conference, and say "you're wasting your father's oil", but instead leave a pile of garbage on the ground after the conference.
During this period, as the Republic quietly made big news about artificial intelligence, countries around the world began to pay close attention to this ancient civilized country.
Therefore, "Parasite Beasts", a hot topic within the Republic, has also been paid attention to by bloggers from all over the world, and they have been simply translated and moved to their own country.
This environmentally-unfriendly girl had just finished protesting against the Republic's environmentally-unfriendly research project in manufacturing artificial intelligence. She picked up her tablet and surfed the Internet, and came across this topic.
But according to what she said before about environmentalism, she shouldn't use any electronic products, and she should even go back to the jungle and live a primitive life.
All I can say is...when it comes to environmental protection, she hasn't done anything right.
Seeing the topic of "Parasite Beast" about protecting the environment, the environmentally friendly girl felt a little curious.
But she still read the comic "Parasite Beast" first.
Looking at the cartoon, Guan Gangzhi roared loudly——
"You should consider all living things, rather than the reproduction of human beings themselves! This is the spirit of all things! This is what you, who claim to be the spirit of all things, should do!"
"You humans only keep shouting slogans of justice!"
"And where is the true justice?"
"Compared to us, the parasitic beasts that live on humans and are responsible for the balance of the entire biological world!"
"You humans are the parasites that are eating away at the earth!"
"No! It's a parasitic beast!"
…
Her eyes suddenly lit up. This character in the comic... was really right.
Humans are parasites of the earth. As for the parasitic beast, she didn't understand it very well, but after checking the information later, she understood.
Soon, she first found the complete volume of the comic. After reading it from beginning to end, she then read this chapter and felt how shocked it was.
"The author of this comic must be a true master who is passionate about environmental protection. This comic is so good..."
She said excitedly, "I didn't expect that a barbarian country like the Republic, which wreaks havoc on the environment and has no environmentalism at all, could actually grow a master who is so concerned about environmentalism! I really want to meet this master..."
With such curiosity, she searched for the name "Qingshan" again.
Sure enough, the search turned up a lot of videos and pictures. Although Lin Qingshan looked very out of place above, looking at his thin, handsome face...
The environmentally friendly girl couldn't help but blush.
"I really hope that one day I can give an environmental speech with Mr. Qingshan."
She said somewhat hopefully.
A few days later, the environmentally friendly girl announced on foreign social platforms that she loved the comic "Parasite" and used it to promote her environmentalism.
"As said in this comic, we humans are becoming parasitic beasts that harm the earth, destroying the environment and leaving indelible trauma to Mother Earth. How dare we do this?!"
Then, the environmental girl held up the banner again and marched on the street with her supporters to promote her environmentalism.
…
Magic City, Trigger Animation.
Lin Qingshan is working hard. Trigger Animation currently only has three production teams, but there is one production team to produce another drama.
So Trigger Animation is facing the current second season animation of "Chainsaw Man", "Magic City Ghoul" and "Zhan!" The three new series of "Red Eyes" were produced, but some of them did not have enough manpower.
But luckily...
As mentioned before, Station C recruited some animation production staff, set up a simple animation production department, and came to help.
In this way, the two original production teams of Trigger Animation were divided into three production teams, and each added some animation production departments at Station C.
Moreover, Lin Qingshan also brought two assistants to help.
The most important thing is... he also invited foreign aid.
"Nuwa, help me draw the original paintings of Tazmi after she transforms into a ghost. There are fifteen pictures in total. They should be connected together and used as a blueprint based on my original paintings."
Lin Qingshan said to the supercomputer server screen in front of him.
"Okay, Nuwa is generating relevant original paintings for you. Please tell me if it will be classified into the project "Cut! Crimson Eyes" after completion."
A gentle female voice came from the speakers specially brought by Lin Qingshan nearby.
"Uh! Okay!"
Lin Qingshan gave a thumbs up and said, "Nu Wa, you are really considerate!"
Nuwa, the real artificial intelligence, was the foreign aid he invited. When the cheap tutor Li Yubin heard his request, he only hesitated for a moment and agreed.
However, he has a request, which is a new project of his recently... If he needs Lin Qingshan's help in the future, he hopes that Lin Qingshan will come and help.
Lin Qingshan had no choice but to agree, but he said that he might not be able to help.
However, Li Yubin said that this project just fits Lin Qingshan’s interests.
That was the "brain computer" project that Lin Qingshan had been thinking about before. Lin Qingshan's debut work as a cartoonist was also related to "brain computer", "Cyberpunk 2077: Edgewalker", so Lin Qingshan should still have a lot of research. ?
Lin Qingshan said that it was just a coincidence, but he just said that if he could help, he would help.
But if he really couldn't help...he would be helpless.
That's why he borrowed Nuwa's backup copy.
And Nuwa's ability is indeed excellent enough, unlike those artificially retarded people in her previous life.
Nuwa, a truly intelligent AI, completes all kinds of work in an orderly manner, and she is not like those artificially retarded people who can't draw well with their fingers.
With Lin Qingshan and others checking and filling in the gaps, "Chainsaw Man", "Magic City Ghoul" and "Ze!" The production progress of "Red Eyes" is very fast.
Of course, Lin Qingshan did not let Nuwa, the artificial intelligence, do all the work.
The most important thing is the relatively simple original paintings in the original painting part that he is responsible for.
The other more important parts of the original painting should be done by himself.
After all, the paintings drawn by his system capabilities are far better than the original paintings drawn by Nuwa, the artificial intelligence.
But just when Nuwa was working hard to generate the original paintings...
"I couldn't wait for you to come clear the cupboards~"
Lin Qingshan's phone rang.
"Why?"
However, when he picked up the phone and took a look, he found that it was...
"Teacher Feng?"
Lin Qingshan answered the phone and asked curiously.
"It's me, Qingshan... Is it convenient to come out now? I want to have a chat with you."
Feng Yiyuan's elegant and gentle voice came from the other side of the phone and said.
"Um, now?"
Lin Qingshan said curiously.
"If you are free now, then do it now. If not, we can make an appointment another day..."
Feng Yiyuan seemed to have misunderstood that Lin Qingshan was busy now, and immediately said gently.
"It's not that I don't have time...well, since Teacher Feng wants to talk to me, I'll come out now."
Lin Qingshan scratched his head and said.
"Okay...thank you, Qingshan."
