Chapter 438: Visitors from the Galaxy (3)

This time it was really like you didn't take the road to heaven. The group of people who thought they were just getting a job notice were completely wrapped up by the transparent glue that gushed out from the white circle along with their screams of fear. They repeated Jason's catapulting into space and leaping into the interstellar spaceship in their physical bodies to arrive on the Sami spaceship.

Before the audience could die of laughter at their confused looks, the Sami fans who followed them forgot to transform into human form and rushed over excitedly to chase their idol, which surprised everyone in and out of the play.

The difference is that the protagonists in the play were so frightened by these enthusiastic giant octopuses that they could not move; while the audience outside the play looked at these giant octopuses that looked very alien, and while they thought they were ugly and cute, they could not help but laugh out loud at this scene.

Chief Engineer Fred arrived only after the giant octopuses transformed into human forms, but one look at his astonished expression revealed that this guy had a strong psychological endurance. Even though he didn't see the true form of the octopus, he was still very steady after the interplanetary jump, and together with Jason, he half-supported and half-pulled several teammates with weak legs to walk out.

As they walked, they also learned from the Sami leader why the Sami people worshipped them so much: by some miraculous coincidence, their "Galaxy Exploration" was lost in the universe and was regarded by the Sami people as a historical documentary of the Earth's heroic team...

Therefore, the Sami people reshaped their goals and values ​​based on the historical documentary of this group of Earth heroes, temporarily calmed the chaos and restored order, and also built a spaceship based on these "great heroes" and "historical documentaries" to allow the entire tribe to exile in the universe.

After hearing that they had built a battleship based on the data of the "Protector" in the TV series and waiting for their team to operate it, Jason and others felt extremely complicated: having a die-hard fan build a one-to-one hardcore action figure for them should have been the pinnacle of an actor's career...

But this battleship is intended to be operated by actors like them!

Generally speaking, the technology of the octopus-like Sami people is not bad, but they probably used all their skill points to climb the technology tree, so they have no points to invest in emotional intelligence. So when facing the lobster elves, whose technology is only slightly inferior to theirs but whose entire tribe is ferocious by nature, they are undoubtedly at a disadvantage.

"We have to go back! We are actors, not astronauts!" Gwen whispered to Jason while the Sami leader and his people were handling and introducing other measures on the spaceship.

But Garson's next words temporarily dispelled their worries: the war was almost over, and the rest would be a matter of remote negotiations. If they returned like this, they would have to continue to live that boring and monotonous life, and thus miss everything in front of them...

It only takes a single thought for them to decide whether to be a fish with dreams that bravely ventures into the sea of ​​stars, or to return to Earth and continue being a salted fish.

Therefore, thinking that it might be helpful to take a look since they were already on the "pirate ship", Gwen and his companions followed Jason and the Sami people into the landing capsule.

When they saw the "Protector 2" built for them by the Sami people, the smooth lines and beautiful appearance, as well as the vast sea of ​​stars in the background... they finally couldn't help but marvel at this battleship that seemed to have only appeared in dreams, along with the audience outside the play.

"Oh my God! I, I seem to remember how to operate these..." Looking at the operating console that was exactly the same as in his memory, the impatient young driver Tommy exclaimed.

Then, Tommy exclaimed that he seemed to still remember how to operate. Just as his own people were extremely worried and the Semi people were extremely looking forward to it, Jason, the commander, asked him to set sail...

Where the hell did I get a spaceship battleship pilot's license!

The expression on Tommy's face was so vivid that even without him saying it directly, the audience could see his WTF mentality at the moment.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he thought "WTF" in his mind, it was useless. Under the expectant gazes of so many aliens, Tommy had no choice but to go ahead.

In the early days when special effects technology was not so advanced, the props team always did things in a more detailed manner. Therefore, relying on the memory of opening the "Battleship Control Panel" in the "Galaxy Quest" crew, Tommy struggled between forcing himself to recall his childhood memories and his unfamiliar operation. After shaking the battleship several times due to improper operation, he finally successfully started it.

Then, this talented pilot who had become the Protector's main driver at a young age in the "historical documentary" made this freshly built battleship rub a large area against the wall of the landing capsule under the gaze of tens of thousands of Semis behind and on both sides...

The teeth-grinding creaking sound, which is the inevitable path for novice drivers and new cars to leave the warehouse, also made people with driving licenses outside the play laugh like pigs.

After much difficulty, Protector 2, with a large piece of paint peeled off on the bow, got out of the cabin. After hearing the warm applause from the simple-minded Sami people around them, Jason, Gwen and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At lunch, the Sami people showed them their specially designed food synthesizer.

This food synthesizer can generate corresponding food according to each person's birthplace and food taste. For example, Commander Jason is from Iowa in the TV series, so he will be synthesized with Iowa-style steak; Chief Engineer Fred is Chinese, so he will be synthesized with Chinese-style noodles...

Then, the camera turned to Alexander, who was the alien doctor in the movie: his bowl was full of arthropods soaked in clean water. They were fat and vigorous, and looked like giant cockroaches from the Cantonese region...

"Like my mom's cooking." Facing the only Sami fan who liked his character more, Alexander, who decided not to have lunch today, spoke sadly.

During lunch, they talked about why Cyrus wanted to attack the Semites. It turned out that it was to seize something called "Omega 13" from the Semites. Garson and others couldn't help but ask, "What is this for?"

"We don't know. We hope you can tell us." The Sami leader explained that they got Omega 13 accidentally and it was very similar to the description in the last episode of the "Historical Documentary", so they named it after it.

Hearing this, Garson and the others looked at each other in bewilderment: after the ratings of "Galaxy Quest" dropped, the producers decided to end the episode with the commander ordering the activation of Omega 13 when they encountered danger that could not be solved with the previous methods...

The scriptwriter didn't write what this thing is used for, and we actors don't know either!

However, Jason's mentality was still quite good. He suppressed his inner rage and continued speaking along with the words of the Sami leader, saying that they also discovered Omega 13 on an alien planet and they also didn't know what it was used for.

"Why don't you try it?" Tommy asked.

"Its core is a reactor that can provide unimaginable energy. If we build it incorrectly, it will turn into a molecular explosive, which may even destroy the entire universe when it causes a chain reaction." The Sami boy who worships Alexander looks like he has inherited the mantle of a scientist.

As for why Cyrus knew about Omega 13 even though he had never seen these "historical documentaries", it was because the former commander of the Semites could not stand the torture after being captured and leaked the news.

After watching the grilled giant octopus in the video recording, everyone lost their appetite and hurriedly made excuses to leave.

"You can't just walk away like this! Give us some time to think about it!" Jason was so anxious that he couldn't stop one person from doing the other.

"My God, he still needs to think about it!" Alexander looked at him as if he were a madman, but he didn't stop walking.

"I shouldn't have come here at all. I'm just an extra, a supporting role..." The supporting role Guy, who was held by Jason, struggled desperately, "I was arranged to die in order to show that the situation was critical. I have to leave here quickly..."

However, the group, who were anxious to leave, learned from Sami who had caught up with them that the transporter could not be opened.

The war has begun, and Cyrus will destroy everything that leaves this spaceship.

Jason and his companions were reluctantly invited to the command module, where they once again faced Cyrus, who was holding the head of his capable subordinate and had one eye blinded: "It's a pity that I survived the attack, but the speed at which my subordinate opened the neutron armor was slower than I expected!"

"If you don't give me Omega 13, I will destroy your ship!"

Jason realized the seriousness of the problem. On the one hand, he used rhetoric to tell Cyrus to give him some time to pack the things. On the other hand, he crossed his arm across his neck to signal Gwen with his eyes: turn off the communication.

"I've dealt with this guy before. He's ugly and stupid. Come over here and sit down... Gwen, don't make a fuss. Come, listen to my orders and operate these buttons together to launch the attack..." Jason forced Alexander and Guy to sit aside, then turned back to look at Gwen, "Reconnect me."

"I just wanted to tell you that the communication was always on," Gwen said angrily. "Why did you say that as if I knew how to turn the communication on and off!"

Now, not only did the plan to delay time and launch an attack fail, but Cyrus, who had watched the whole process, took the initiative to launch the attack.

However, due to the "characteristic" of the spaceships in the TV series that they are not easy to explode no matter how hard they are tossed around, the Sami people also used particularly strong materials when building their spaceships. So Jason and others relied on the Protector 2's faster speed and stronger properties than the enemy to let Tommy directly risk charging into a minefield left over from the space war. At least with the cover of tracking mines and firepower, they temporarily got rid of Cyrus's spaceship.

After surviving the danger, Tommy couldn't help but yell when he heard Gwen repeating the damage information automatically reported by the spaceship: "Can you stop repeating what the spaceship and we say?"

"Listen, this is the only job I have on this crappy spaceship. Even though it's a stupid job, I have to do my duty, OK?!" Gwen was also angry in this predicament.

Unlike the audience watching the movie at that time, who were either laughing at the "stupid" job of the repeater, or sighing at the stereotypes of female characters in the past, some people who watched this part later had different thoughts when they saw it -

As can be seen from the movie, the spaceship's main computer will not respond to what others say. Only when "Repeat-Reader" played by Gwen speaks will the spaceship's main computer answer one by one...

This is a stupid and ridiculous job in the eyes of those who are not familiar with the situation; but in the eyes of those who are knowledgeable, it is a strategic job that is more important than tactics and combat.

This position may seem ridiculous and stupid, but it is actually extremely important: if the person who can control the core main control program by voice has ulterior motives, the consequences will be far more dangerous than those of anyone in any other job position.

This is one of the reasons that led to the birth of the "speech recognition" system. When people in later generations recalled the development of modern science and technology, they suddenly realized that Marie Sue, who is recognized as the second "God of Science Fiction" after Jules Verne, always predicted some reasonable and logically self-consistent science and technology in the movies she participated in, intentionally or unintentionally.

Even though it is just a movie positioned as a "children's movie" - no, the movie "Galaxy Visitor" received more positive reviews from adult audiences after its release.

It's probably like, everyone has a part of their youth that is unique to them, but also has a part that is the same as others. Even if they know that this passion may not get the desired result, they will fight for it without regrets.

Just like in the movie, when the Sami people thought that the spaceship was not made well enough, which caused the heroes who had escaped danger many times to fail and get injured, and they took the initiative to apologize for this "failure", the protagonists felt guilty and at the same time wanted to "try again".

Because the aliens in front of them were just innocent people who didn't understand what "drama", "falsehood" and "deception" were, and they wholeheartedly regarded them as all-powerful heroes.

Sometimes, even if you know you may only be a hero for a few minutes, you can't help but want to fight.

After learning from Chief Engineer Fred, who had successfully integrated the Sami Mechanical Engineering Team, that the beryllium spheres needed to repair the spaceship could be extracted from a nearby planet, Jason and his companions prepared to set off.

Only the supporting actor Guy had a completely opposite opinion on this action, and even showed great resistance -

"Although I don't know why TV dramas always have the bridge team go out on field missions... but I really can't go out with you guys, so let me stay behind - in the TV drama, I died in the episode where I went to an alien planet with a large unit to collect supplies!"

"Are you sure that you won't get into trouble if you are left alone after most of the troops go out on a mission?"

"Damn it, wait for me!"
