fleet citizen

Mint looked at the holographic projection panel in front of him, which displayed several movie posters, as well as their names, durations, and starring roles.Most of these movies are about two hours long, and the leading actor and the other actors Mint have never heard of, and they all seem to have strange names.After looking around, it seems that an actor named "Winter Voice" is quite popular, and many movies are starred by this person.

Mint couldn't help but clicked that person's name curiously, but because his fingerprints hadn't been entered into the "crow" operating system, the holographic projection didn't respond.

"You want to watch this, my little cutie?" Yuan Yu leaned over to take a look, ""The Man in the Box"? Wen Schrödinger's—you know Schrödinger?"

Mint shook his head in bewilderment.He knew next to nothing about the history of his parent star before the spaceflight age, and that history didn't seem to be of much use to the present.

"Schrödinger is a magical person." Yuan Yu blinked at him, "However, there are many allusions used in this movie. If you don't understand it, you may not understand it." She flipped through the recent movies, Click on the detailed introduction of one of them, "how about this?"

Mint took a look. The movie was called "Tears of the Welsh Flower". The style of the poster was very beautiful. The holographic projection focused on the nearest blue-purple flower, and there were tall and short blurry figures in the distance.It looks like a romance movie. It's hard to imagine that a girl from the A family like Yuan Yu would recommend watching this kind of movie.Mint suddenly thought, or was it just because she wanted to soak herself?

"Well," said Mint, "what's this about?"

"This is a remake of an old Gale movie. It is very classic. It can be said to be the enlightenment of many people in the fleet." A story of pollution and over-exploitation, which was eventually abandoned. The name Virch is taken from the dominant plant of the planet's main land, the Verch flower. This herbaceous plant constituted the most famous blue-purple flower sea landscape of Virch at that time, but now This kind of flower has lost the planetary land where it can grow, and can only be bought in the fleet flower shop."

Mint doesn't know which country "Girl" is, or is it some kind of organization that belongs to the fleet?But it doesn't sound like a love story either, and it sounds like a sad ending.Still, Mint agreed to watch the film.

So the two sat on the sofa drinking that strange but delicious mixed juice, watching the movie on the high-definition holographic screen opposite begin to show.

The picture begins with a sea of ​​blue-purple flowers of Welch, from the plain stretching for several miles to the top of the mountain that seems to break through the clouds.There is a small black spot on the top of the mountain, which looks like a person.When the picture is zoomed in, Mint can roughly see that it is indeed a person, it seems to be a woman from the A family or a man from the B family. It looks very tall, with some equipment on its back, and it is going down the steep ridge Walk.

The camera circles in the air as if passing through the eyes of a bird, allowing the audience in front of the screen to see the surrounding undulating landscape clearly.The gravity of Virch is probably lower than that of the human home planet Earth, and the crustal movement is very violent, resulting in high and steep mountains here, covered with blue-green vegetation, which appear abrupt but dreamlike on the extraordinarily flat plain.

Then the camera is like a bird swooping down, quickly approaching the figure walking on the ridge.When it was zoomed in enough to see the person's face clearly, Mint was taken aback—it wasn't a human face at all!

The "man"—if such a creature can be called a "man" at all—had a pale blue face, a pair of large amethyst eyes set apart, and no nose or nose. It is a similar structure, but there is a dark blue striped area on each side, which looks like some kind of tattoo.And there is no hair on the head of this "person", but pieces of blue-purple scales that are as soft as lotus leaves, with some bright orange-red patterns on them.

Surprisingly, although this "person" looks very different from real human beings, it doesn't make people feel any unpleasant. On the contrary, it has a unique sense of beauty, as if it is some kind of mythology Among them, elf-like creatures.

"She is a female Geer." Yuan Yu introduced in a low voice, "You probably haven't dealt with Geer much, but in fact they are quite similar to humans. The blue face represents blue blood, and the dark side of the face The striped area is the sound wave receptor, which is equivalent to the human ear. The head is covered with soft scales similar to keratin, and the orange-red stripes on it are chemical receptors. You can understand it as a nose—a nose with a head, Is it fresh enough?"

It's very fresh, Mint thought to himself.However, it is undeniable that this Geer looks not as disgusting as the fictional aliens in those Zhuyu local movies, and even a little beautiful.I don't know if Geer thinks humans are so beautiful.

"Her name is Finner-Berry Elland, and the prototype is the daughter of Duke Finner, the pioneer of Wilhelm. Because she is not the eldest, she did not inherit her mother's title, but became a new biologist." Yuan Yu added. said a word.

"What's the new biology?" Mint asked.

"It is a taxonomy to study non-parent planet animals," Yuan Yu explained, "it was very popular in the early colonial era, and it was used to quickly classify the native organisms of the colonized planet, so as to quickly use those that are beneficial and eliminate those that are harmful. "

On the screen, Finner-Berry Elland is walking on the ridge with a huge specimen collection box on her back, and she is looking for a kind of Welsh animal commonly known as "glass worm".There used to be a large number of that kind of small thing in Wilhelm, and their gonads can squeeze out a transparent gel-like substance, which is a very good sealant and is of great use to Geer's aerospace industry.

However, Geer raised glassworms extensively, and the organic feed and quasi-antibiotics polluted the Welch grassland.Moreover, in the genetic modification of some glass worm species by Geer, some artificial harmful gene fragments accidentally escaped, causing the glass worm to face a serious reproductive crisis in the wild environment.And Finner-Berry Elam came here to investigate the gene frequency of various harmful genes in glass worm populations.

The glass worms, which feed on the young leaves of Welch flowers, look like large blue-green earthworms.To be honest, the mints thought it was disgusting, but their gonads were crystal clear, like a bunch of blue crystal grapes.

And continue to look back, the storyline of the movie is roughly revealed.Leaving aside Wilhelm's unique planetary landscape and Geer's various differences from human beings, this is actually a very simple story, that is, as a new biologist, Finner-Poly Elam during his field investigation The story of meeting a boy named Gera-Te Fulda who was poaching wild glass worms in the grassland, and then going through ups and downs and finally being together, but this love story is linked to Wilhelm's ruin and decline.
