Chapter 252 The Tragedy of Civilization

Chen Yang prepared the morning meeting courseware for Monday, stretched his stiff neck and back muscles, and walked out of the bedroom to see his wife and son leaning on the sofa and staring at the TV.

"Lele, have you finished your homework?"

My son, who has just entered the second grade, gave a perfunctory hum. Seven o'clock every night is his exclusive "animation show" time. In addition, there is not much academic pressure in elementary school, and his grades have always been among the best in the class.

As a post-85s generation, Chen Yang and his wife also have a relatively open-minded educational philosophy. Although they still strictly control their children's TV viewing time, the "animation schedule" every night has been preserved since they went to kindergarten.

Chen Yang glanced at the TV and found that it was an advertisement for CCTV Children's Channel. He asked his wife in surprise: "What's so good about the advertisement? Why don't you watch your TV series in the bedroom?"

There are two TV sets at home, the living room is large, and the master bedroom has a small TV set. Usually it seems that it is time for my son's "animation show". He is basically still working in the company, and usually he has to wait until at least

After eight o'clock, the animation has already finished.

Today is Sunday, and dinner has been eaten at six o'clock. Usually during this time on weekends, my son watches cartoons in the living room, and he and his wife go back to the bedroom to watch a small TV or play with their mobile phones.

The daughter-in-law replied with a natural expression: "It is said on the Internet that it is best for parents to accompany their children to watch animations. Parents and children should be accompanied. Children watch cartoons alone, and no one can share their emotions, whether they are happy or sad.

Isn’t it okay to support..."

"Mom also likes watching cartoons!" His son Lele shouted happily and somewhat proudly, interrupting his mother's official routine.

After becoming intelligent life and establishing civilization, they also invented nuclear weapons. However, unlike humans, they broke out a nuclear war of unprecedented scale. The ocean planet has endless nuclear fusion fuel, and nuclear fusion weapons have become conventional weapons.

After the introduction, the theme name of this episode appears on the screen - the tragedy of civilization.

Although there were no gorgeous and high-energy scenes, Chen Yang and his wife were immersed in the weird and suspenseful atmosphere created by the plot, and even sympathized with the protagonist and developed nervous emotions.

Chen Yang had to admit that this animation really aroused his interest. Just from the brief revolving synopsis of various high-energy scenes, he was amazed by the setting, background and story of this animation.

, he has never seen such "Stars and Sea" content in adult film and television dramas.

Super weapons that exceeded the limit of power destroyed the atmosphere, causing the solar wind to begin to invade the surface of the planet. The atmosphere fell into irreversible attenuation, and at the same time, sea water continued to drain and escape into space.

Although the audience in this plane have never heard of the "Laws of the Dark Forest", they can understand the concept of the chain of suspicion under the explanations of the spaceship brain and the young captain. Even children who still have little knowledge can keenly capture the plot and shape it.

suspenseful atmosphere.

Chen Yang didn't take his wife's teasing seriously: "I can watch it online. Well, I'm going to search online now and finish the first few episodes of this animation." After that, he got up and walked to the bedroom.

Chen Yang looked at the shyness on his wife's face and couldn't help but joked: "Didn't you say last time that today's cartoons are too childish and have been assimilated so quickly?"

By observing the gravitational lens effect, the Home Fleet was able to fight back against the desperate situation.

"Is "The Flying Pig Man" good to watch, Little Piggy?" Chen Yang teased his son.

However, under this optimistic mood, the Home No. 1 Intelligence Brain received a burst of weak regular radio waves.

In this episode, the fleet with Home as the core flew out of the Kuiper Belt of the sun. With the golden finger of Zhi Nao, the teenagers in Home, who went from a single spaceship to an entire fleet, were confident from top to bottom.

They were full of optimism and felt that nothing could threaten them, so they decided to go into hibernation and wait until they reached the end point of Tianyuan Si before waking up.

Then the Homeland landed on the enemy civilization's spaceship and found the surviving octopus-like intelligent life.

"This animation is a bit interesting..." Chen Yang murmured while looking at the preview of the next episode.

In the tense chain of suspicion, the other party launched the attack first, and only then did the Homeland clearly learn that the unknown civilization that attacked them had stealth technology.

Chen Yang laughed loudly and beat his son's head. Looking at the frowning little face, he was overjoyed: "Children of your generation are so miserable compared to our childhood, so we can only be exposed to cartoons of this level.

It’s like a treasure. The cartoons I watched when I was a kid were all imported from Japan and the United States. I’ll find them on the Internet and show you the world, such as monsters and beautiful girls..."

People will always live in a way that they once hated.

The wife looked at her son's pitiful eyes and sighed: "Okay, you can only watch it for an hour at most. The computer screen is more harmful to the child's eyes than the TV..."

The wife smiled and said: "The show these days is "Space Battleship". One episode is quite long, more than thirty minutes. It's hard for your son to sit still..."

Seeing the first silver full moon rising from the quiet sea, Chen Yang felt a little familiar: "Hey, this isn't that..."

"This episode is not as good as yesterday!" Lele complained as she looked at her mother.

This plot is quite hard-core, with a feeling of cosmic psychology. Lele was a little confused, but Chen Yang and his wife felt that they had gained a lot of knowledge, and they also adjusted from lazily leaning on the back of the sofa to leaning their upper bodies forward.

We are in the open, but the enemy is in the dark. Although the human fleet has manufactured and stockpiled enough nuclear weapons and missiles, it can only escape in panic and is constantly pursued by the opponent's weapons, causing heavy losses.

At Zhinao's suggestion, Homeland turned on radio silent mode, turned off all visible light emissions, and turned on the observation equipment to maximum power.

Zhinao and the teenagers worked together to finally decipher the message, began to analyze the other party's social model, and constantly presupposed the moral model and next code of action of both parties.

The Homeland had a battle with the Zerg on Titan. These Zerg were as hard as alloys in appearance and difficult to deal with. After all the hardships, they rescued their companions and finally used a hydrogen bomb stored in the spacecraft to blow up a methane lake.

Therefore, a terrifying balance was reached with the Zerg.

In fact, this episode of "Elegy of Civilization", an ink silhouette style with mainly four colors of red, blue, white and black, has already aroused strong reactions after it was updated on the Internet. However, this time it was broadcast on CCTV, which triggered people like

It is of interest to viewers like Chen Yang who have not paid attention to this animation.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still feel that CCTV’s animation is pure enough, has no harmful content, and is more suitable for my children.

After Chen Yang had a child, his work pressure became more and more intense, and his work became busier. He was no longer the surfing and Internet addict he was in college, so he really didn't know about DreamWorks' involvement in the animation field.

In such a terrifying balance, the Homeship grew slowly. After farming and violent warfare, it finally eliminated the brutal Zerg life. With the longing for Tianyuan's fourth home, it assembled a huge fleet and sailed to the outer reaches of the solar system.

The tombstone of human civilization was erected when it passed Pluto.

Home is preparing to use the metal resources on Titan to set up industrial production lines, build robots, repair and transform Home, and build more spaceships and frigates.

Oddly enough, although Chen Yang feels that the current cartoons are too far away from the Japanese and American cartoons he watched as a child and are too childish, he still lets his children watch many of the cartoons he watched as a child.

I think this is inappropriate, that is inappropriate, this is not suitable for children, and that is a bit too much.

"Well, in short, children of your generation are not blessed..." Chen Yang stopped talking awkwardly.

The Laika people are also some kind of molluscs in the sea. They can communicate through the color change of their skin. Skin and color are their language. They can recognize more than a hundred colors, so they gradually constructed a complex language system.

Evolve into intelligent life.

This "elegy of civilization" is a bit old-fashioned, and it is nothing more than advocating the idea of ​​environmental protection and caring for the ecological environment. However, Mo's production team adopted a very novel approach to present this elegy.

Supplemented by smooth and artistic storyboards, the rise and fall of Laika civilization is presented to the audience in front of the TV in a very novel and cool form.

That is, in the plot of recalling the history of the Laika people, we did not continue to use 3D animation pictures, but adopted a hand-painted style that combined the ink style and shadow puppetry based on the four colors of red, blue, white and black.

"Ahem..."

It can be deduced that the signal source is not far from the Homeship, but the source of the emission can never be found, which makes the teenagers a little nervous.

If the plots of the previous episodes of "Battleship" were about big scenes, just like Jin Yong's novels, where everyone showed off their magical powers, then this time facing the crisis of a hostile civilization that can become invisible is like Gu Long's novels, seizing the flaw and killing with one blow.

He has completely put aside his conditioned contempt for animation. Perhaps it is precisely because of the stereotyped influence of CCTV animation that he was even more shocked.

This strange black insect usually lives in a methane lake. Unlike life on Earth that uses light to decompose water for photosynthesis, life on Titan uses light to decompose methane to obtain energy, which is a more peculiar photosynthetic reaction.

, liquid methane is as much a source of life to them as water.

"It's begun, it's begun!" Lele quickly stopped the adults' conversation.

With the planet in the process of irreversible destruction, the Laika people desperately built spaceships and left their home planet in batches, wandering around in the hope that one of them would find a suitable planet to rebuild civilization.

The beginning is a "wallpaper-level" picture of fleets of different shapes, extremely designed and sci-fi, flying in space with the blessing of nuclear fusion engines that look like small suns.

If a while ago the audience was gnashing their teeth at the Laika civilization, which had no martial ethics but only carried out sneak attacks, but after the "Elegy of Civilization", they can all feel the sadness embedded in its history and give the audience something to think about.

At the critical moment, a young man thought of a way to find the enemy civilization and crack the opponent's stealth technology through the phenomenon of gravitational lens.

And in the mouth of the octopus alien, a picture of civilization slowly unfolded.

Chen Yang was stunned. He usually went home at least after eight o'clock, and the cartoons had finished long ago. He didn't know what animations were being broadcast on CCTV now.

This civilization is called the Laika Planet, and it was born in a water world. The surface of their home planet is all ocean, and there is no land above the ocean.

While looking for the source of the strange signal emission, the intense work of decoding the information began.

Before his wife could refute, his son jumped out first with an angry look on his face: "You're not childish!"

Chen Yang avoided his wife's glare and made an excuse: "Oh, have you watched this animation too? There are no plots inappropriate for children. You can also learn some scientific knowledge. I promise not to find other nonsense for him on the Internet.

cartoon."

The Homeland came up with the idea of ​​launching a large number of detectors and calculating the enemy's position through the triggered trajectories, but it still could not turn the tide of the war.

This movie indeed gave them a very surprising viewing experience. Later, they also watched "The Signal" and "Fatal Identity" on the recommendation of colleagues during their lunch break or while fishing at work, so they were very interested in the DreamWorks title.

The logo animation is still somewhat familiar, but I didn’t realize it for a while.

Homeworld sent two teenagers to explore the entire Titan with a robot, but they suddenly lost signal contact with the spacecraft. Others went to rescue them and found that they had been attacked and hijacked by a special kind of Zerg life form on Titan.

, the robots were damaged, and the whereabouts of the two teenagers are unknown.

After Yinhui described DreamWorks and its English name, Chen Yang suddenly realized: "DreamWorks! Yes, this is not the company that made "Source Code"? Is it starting to make cartoons now?"

After CCTV purchased "Battleship", it also added a synopsis before each episode. In the synopsis, narrated by the familiar voice of the female host of the children's channel, the human orphan, Home, finally defeated the strange radiation.

Origin of life, dragging his broken body to the beautiful Saturn.

Each episode of "Battleship" has its own title, or name. For example, the first episode is called "Orphans of Mankind".

Seeing Chen Yang's face, his wife sneered and said, "How is it? I also watched it with your son a few days ago. I thought it was really good. Not only is the plot interesting and imaginative, but it also contains a lot of astronomical and cosmic knowledge.

I feel that it is very rewarding, and many mothers in my circle of friends also say that this animation is good."

The wife had obviously done her homework: "I checked before and found that in addition to this animation, DreamWorks has also produced two animations, which will be broadcast on CCTV. Unfortunately, tomorrow is Monday, and we are the only two who can catch up on TV.

, you can’t see it.”

Since his wife was going to watch cartoons with the child, Chen Yang also felt that what his wife said was reasonable. The child really needed company, and he suppressed the urge to take out his mobile phone to surf, and was ready to enjoy this rare parent-child joy.

Enough nuclear fusion fuel was collected in the atmosphere of Saturn, and we also encountered gentle gaseous life forms in the atmosphere of Saturn that were many times larger than blue whales.

"The performance of "Flying Pig Man" has already finished!" Lele glanced at her father with disdain: "I am not a little piggy, I am the captain now!"

Chen Yang was dumbfounded when he watched this prelude and the fleeting scenes. Are all cartoons nowadays reaching this level?

Not to mention that this exquisite picture was completely different from the 3D model of "Flying Pig Man" that he had glanced at a few times in his memory. Just the imaginative and extremely grand story structure was beyond his imagination.

Animated traditional impressions.

Children are so happy.

The educational philosophy that Chen Yang and his wife agreed upon is that children should not be exposed to smartphones early, use the Internet less, do more outdoor sports, and watch cartoons on CCTV. After all, some things on the Internet are really not suitable for children.

"I want to watch it too! I want to watch it too!" Lele shouted as soon as she heard that her father wanted to watch animation on the computer.

After the animation ended, both Chen Yang and his wife fell into a brief silence. They were obviously shocked by the animation, but Lele was still a little confused about this episode of animation. She seemed to understand it, and felt that it was not as refreshing as the content of the previous few days.

and stimulation.

Then Homeland landed on Titan. With the help of its intelligent brain that had mutated into a nearly strong artificial intelligence and the knowledge carried from the earth, Homeland already had the ability to repair spacecraft and farm crops.

This plot actually feels a bit like a dark forest, focusing on the chain of suspicion. This chain of suspicion will arise when two lonely intelligent beings or even civilizations meet in the boundless dark universe.

There is no doubt that this hand-drawn animation inserted in the 3D animation of "Battleship" and telling the rise and fall of a foreign civilization brought a strong aesthetic impact to the audience, including Chen Yang, and "Elegy of Civilization"

This novel and cool hand-drawn animation also brings strong emotional resonance.

Chen Yang's "show off" was interrupted by his wife's cough, and the child's fucking eye knife stabbed into Chen Yang's chest.

But he and his wife went to the cinema to watch "Source Code" together. It was very popular and the news was bombarded. Friends and colleagues also posted movie tickets in their circle of friends. Chen Yang, who had not been to a cinema for many years since having a child, also

Joining in the fun with my wife.

"You are still young..." Chen Yang and his wife looked at each other, and the wife said gently to her son: "There are some things you don't understand now."

Before he finished speaking, both father and son rushed into the bedroom.

"I want to watch the next episode. I heard from my classmates that "Space Battleship" has finished broadcasting on the Internet early!"

"Dad wants to watch the first few episodes first. I haven't seen them before. Why don't you let dad make up the plot?"

"Rock, paper, scissors! Whoever wins will listen..."
