The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 549 The Ghost of Abnormal Gravity

"Why are you suspicious? It feels a bit like a ghost movie... Isn't this a ghost movie?"

Listening to his wife's muttering, Chen Bo shook his head and said softly, "How could it be a ghost movie? Can ghosts appear in science fiction movies?"

However, he also had some doubts about what the ghost in the movie was.

Chen Bo has never been a fan of Chen Jingxing who is more active on the Internet. Of course, he has watched most of Chen Jingxing's movies, especially "Gravity" and "The Martian". Look, the audio-visual shock brought to him is still fresh in his memory.

As the last part of Chen Jingxing's so-called space trilogy, his expectations for "Interstellar" are no less than "Center of the Earth" and "Mars".

It's just that "Interstellar" seems to be really different from the first two.

Unlike "The Center of the Earth" and "Mars", the beginning of the chapter changed quickly, and the main topic came to the fore. The stunning long shot at the beginning of "The Center of the Earth" immediately staged a dazzling space station disintegration after the fascinating space beauty, and the heroine drifted in space .

"Mars" also staged a Martian storm at the beginning, and the male protagonist was landed on Mars.

The main line is laid out in a straightforward manner, making it clear at a glance, which is completely different from brain-burning movies like "Inception".

The current "Interstellar" is not only completely different from the previous two space movies with a simple main line, but also very different from "Inception", which has a fast-paced and high-energy plot at the beginning.

Let him say that it is a bit similar to Chen Jingxing's earliest films, such as "Comet" and "Fatal Identity".

Like a soothing piece of music, the prelude starts slowly and unhurriedly. Of course, the result is that people are a little confused for a while.

The film is slowly giving the background of the story.

That is the world in the next few decades, an alternative apocalyptic background.

Fifty years ago, scientists suddenly observed that the activity of sunspots appeared to be disordered. In the peak year, the number exceeded the maximum value since records were recorded. There was an unprecedented flare explosion, which triggered a strong geomagnetic storm, surpassing the one that occurred in May 50. The strongest magnetic storm ever recorded.

However, human civilization has undergone tremendous changes since 1921. The impact of the magnetic storm is not just disrupting telegraph communications and causing power outages.

After this magnetic storm that caused human society to pay a heavy price, human beings were surprised to find that the earth's climate disorder has intensified and the temperature rise has accelerated.

Astronomical agencies in various countries immediately announced the astonishing discovery that the sun seems to be slowly expanding.

Even if the rate of expansion is not rapid, the temperature has increased rapidly over several decades.

The ocean current system collapsed, glaciers melted, floods, tsunamis, sea levels rose, and droughts came one after another, and crops could not be grown normally.

By the timeline at the beginning of the movie, most of the surviving humans have all withdrawn to high-latitude areas, concentrated in high-latitude areas above 55 degrees latitude, such as the original Siberia, Canada, and even the Antarctic continent.

Low-latitude and mid-latitude regions are completely unsuitable for human survival, and of course they are not suitable for the survival of other organisms such as plants.

Human beings are constantly researching drought-resistant and high-temperature-resistant crops in order to feed the surviving population of more than one billion.

In short, in Chen Bo's opinion, this story seems a bit like a prequel of "The Wandering Earth". After all, the crisis of "The Wandering Earth" is the helium flash of the sun.

But it seems that in the world in "Interstellar", humans have not mastered heavy nuclear fusion technology and cannot push away the earth.

In the beginning, human beings' means of survival mainly focused on two aspects.

One is to develop the aerospace industry, but things like light-speed spacecraft are too remote, and the interstellar voyage takes too long, and there is no time to find suitable planets outside the solar system.

Therefore, the main focus of human beings in spaceflight is to establish bases on the moon and Mars, or to transform Mars.

Another aspect is to dig down and build dungeons.

However, the resources that humans can use are limited, and the moon and Mars cannot escape the expansion of the sun. As for escaping to outer galaxies, there is no way out.

Building a spaceship consumes a lot of resources, and it is just a living coffin. One or two spaceships sail blindly in the universe and end up perishing, and unless they can take away all human beings, no one wants to see themselves waiting to perish. Very few people escaped. day of birth.

Therefore, the dungeon faction has overwhelmed the aerospace faction, and human beings have gradually put their main resources in the direction of developing polar regions, building ecological greenhouses, and digging dungeons.

And Chen Kun plays a son and a daughter, and the male protagonist whose wife died of illness is the last aerospace tester before the disbandment of the aerospace department.

Now as a planter, he is responsible for planting large areas of genetically modified corn, potatoes and other crops in the former Northeast region.

The film gradually paves the way for a suspenseful rhythm in the soothing narrative.

As a former aerospace tester, Chen Kun discovered a drone. When operating the drone, the drone seemed to be disturbed by something, causing it to crash.

During the working process of the combine harvester, the navigation electronic compass was also disturbed, resulting in an abnormal working path.

The weirdest thing is that Chen Kun's daughter Murphy said that there are ghosts in her room, and she often overturns the items and books on the shelves.

However, the eerie atmosphere didn't last for too long, because the clever little girl seemed a little interested after getting over the initial fear, and even thought that it was a ghost trying to convey some kind of message to her.

Chen Kun didn't believe it at first, but then a sandstorm that humans have become accustomed to in the middle and low latitude regions desertified due to climate change swept across. Chen Kun and his family hid in the house in embarrassment from the darkness.

Chen Kun walked to the door of his daughter Murphy, and saw her daughter standing in the middle of the room, staring intently at the hazy wind and sand in the room.

Chen Kun closed the window, and the dust shrouded the relatively quiet environment.

Accompanied by weird music, the two stared at the wind and sand in the room. The dust in the air was falling at an unnatural speed, flowing in the air, and gathered on the floor, forming a pattern composed of lines.

The poetic lens reveals a treacherous taste.

"Is it really a ghost? Or some kind of supernatural phenomenon?"

Chen Bo didn't think there would be such things as ghosts in Chen Jingxing's sci-fi movies, and besides, the film bureau didn't just eat for free.

For the first time, the nerves of the audience in the entire theater were raised high.

Director Chen Jingxing seemed to be lifting the curtain little by little, and unconsciously raised the tone in the soothing narrative rhythm, which made people excited.

"This is like a puzzle-solving movie." Chen Bo looked at the big screen with full concentration and thought.

Chen Kun stared at the pattern formed by the dust, showing thick radial lines, like a barcode.

Murphy sat next to Dad, and they stared at it together.

Chen Kun held up a coin...

"Not a ghost."

He tossed the coin across the floor, and just as it approached the eerie barcode-like pattern of dust accumulation, it suddenly lost its balance and fell to the side.

"Morse code..."

While many audiences in the theater, including Chen Bo, were thinking hard, Chen Kun expressed his views on the dust pattern.

Coarse is one, thin is zero.

Chen Kun deciphered the information by comparing it in his notebook, which was a geographical coordinate described by precise latitude and longitude, not far from him.

Strong curiosity drove Chen Kun, who used to be an aerospace tester, to get close to that coordinate.

Although I am worried about not knowing what supernatural power is delivering this message, I am not sure what I will encounter when I get there.

So Chen Kun originally wanted to refuse his daughter's request to travel with him, but he still didn't stop Murphy from hiding in the back seat of the car and following him.

In a bright room.

Chen Kun was sitting on a chair. Opposite him was a strangely shaped articulated robot. A voice came from one side of it: "How did you find this place? You marked the coordinates here on the map. Where did you come from?" Did you get it?"

Chen Bo leaned forward unconsciously: "Good guy, did you find a secret base?"

It turns out that the coordinates transmitted by some kind of supernatural power through the dust pattern is a base where the main structure is hidden underground.

After some exchanges.

Only then did the hero learn that this place turned out to be the National Space Administration.

"Didn't the space agency shut down 15 years ago?"

Yuan Wei, with ear-length hair and short hair, made an appearance.

"The government needs us back, it just won't see the light of day, and the public won't allow us to spend big money on hopeless space exploration, especially when we're still worrying about food and focusing on building dungeons that can accommodate everyone. "

Chen Kun was once again shocked to see the former head of the National Space Administration played by Wang Jinsong, the highly respected aerospace leader who had chosen him as an aerospace tester.

Yuan Wei is the daughter of Wang Jinsong, a doctor of biology.

"It's really hard to explain. I found the coordinates here through... some kind of abnormal phenomenon."

"What anomaly?"

"You guys will think I'm crazy if I say it."

Wang Jinsong, who is still elegant even though his head is full of white hair, said gently: "You may have underestimated our ability to bear."

Chen Kun laughed a little, and then broke the jar: "It's a... a supernatural phenomenon..."

"Anomaly in gravity?" Yuan Wei interrupted calmly.

Chen Kun murmured in surprise: "Gravity is abnormal? Yes, you are right. Now that I think about it, it is indeed gravity. You have already discovered it?"

"Anomaly in gravity?" Chen Bo became even more excited.

Another piece of the puzzle has been lifted, so the sci-fi concept of "Interstellar" has something to do with gravity?
In other words, the so-called ghost hiding in the room of the hero's daughter, the out-of-control drone and the harvester with frequent abnormalities in the navigation electronic compass are all caused by the abnormal gravity?
Just as Chen Bo and the male protagonist on the screen were still surprised, a bigger shock occurred.

The old professor played by Wang Jinsong got up and pressed the remote control in his hand. The wall behind him slowly rose with the vibration, revealing a huge rocket propulsion nozzle, only part of which was exposed.

Chen Kun, who walked out of the room and looked up at the five or six-story high propeller nozzle, was shocked together with the audience with the magnificent industrial style visual spectacle presented in front of the big screen!
