====== First of all, many people mentioned that it is impossible for this disgusting creature to build such a high-tech spacecraft. Some people even give the film a low score because of this, which is really useless such a classic sci-fi setting. In fact, the "evil or disgusting" of a life form is only viewed from your human perspective, and it cannot be judged from this that it must not be highly civilized. At the same time, this disgusting thing may not have been the civilization driving that high-tech flying saucer. Just like in Alien, the flying saucer belongs to another intelligent civilization, but encountered this kind of creature during cosmic voyage, the alien civilization on the spacecraft. It crashed on the earth due to the influence of this creature, but because the original intelligent life on the spacecraft has been swallowed and replaced by this creature, there is no original pilot in the spacecraft ruins, but it was found near the place where the spacecraft crashed. This extraterrestrial creature has been frozen by low temperature for thousands of years, and finally encountered human beings. Secondly, many people like to compare the monsters in "Alien" with the life in "The Thing". Some people think that aliens can survive in many extreme environments such as the high temperature and cold cosmic vacuum. Therefore, they believe that aliens are this kind of life. It is the most perfect and awesome. In fact, as long as you calm down and think and analyze it, you will find that the life in "The Thing" is more terrifying and powerful than "Alien", and it can even be said to be a bug in the evolution of the ultimate life form, almost open. The presence. Let's take a concrete look at the characteristics of this kind of life, and why it is more terrifying and awesome than the alien. Friends who are familiar with the film know that this kind of alien life has the following characteristics: 1) It can swallow or fuse other life, and after swallowing to obtain the genetic information of the prey, it can perfectly copy the life form of the target. Don’t underestimate this skill. Not only is it very powerful in disguise, but for creatures like humans that are active in groups and have strong thoughts and emotions, this feature is almost a deadly way of killing and spreading in disguise, because it is not only It can paralyze the hesitation and blind the judgment of individuals, and it can also fundamentally shake the foundation of mutual trust between members of the group, and even make the members of the group suspicious of each other and kill each other. This is almost devastating to the civilized species of socialized activities. s method. 2) When the life characteristics of the prey are acquired, not only can the biological appearance and physiological characteristics of the organism be exactly the same as the life to which the original prey belongs, but also the memory knowledge and skills of the original life of the prey can be obtained through this replication. In other words, when it replicates a person, it not only "looks like that person", but not only looks and physiology is exactly the same as the original person, but also speaks his language to understand him. Skills have his memory (in the film, it can be seen that before being discovered, the characters replaced by devouring have the same language and memory skills as the original person, and this is why this creature can drive at the end of the film even if it may not be it The reason why the spacecraft I built makes it start, because after integrating the life of the original spacecraft pilot, he has acquired its related skills) 3) This creature has strong learning and thinking abilities. In fact, many people’s first reaction to this kind of biological form is how "disgusting" they feel, and they feel that this kind of creature is "low-level". Even in many comments, some people judge that this kind of creature is "low-level". It might match something as tall as a spaceship. In fact, if you calm down and think carefully, you will find that these are all wishful thinking and even arrogant views from a human perspective. What is "disgusting"? Is it possible that in the eyes of other cosmic life forms, you human being is the most disgusting? What is inferior? In the vast universe, the form of life may be far beyond human imagination, so “practical” may be the ultimate direction of evolution. At the same time, the setting of this kind of creature is that in addition to fusing the target life to acquire its physiological characteristics and perfectly copy it, it can also acquire the knowledge, memory, language skills, etc. of the target prey, even if the target prey does not have it before. Knowledge, it can be acquired through the external environment and even various sources of information to make appropriate changes synchronously. After becoming a human, not only did he know how to clean the shower room, he even burned the laboratory decisively when he learned that humans were preparing to test and prepare for identification. After learning that humans can judge whether they are of the same kind based on the inorganic substances attached to their bodies, they even Knowing to deliberately collect the relics of the target that was fused, put it back on after replacing it, and disguise it (Finally, I know that the male protagonist has also obtained ear studs after the fusion, if it is not for the female protagonist to remember the very clear details and admirably calm and careful , It will almost succeed); 4) Each piece of tissue and each group of cells is almost an independent individual. This feature makes this kind of life, in addition to the overall devastating means of attack (such as flamethrower), any weapon that will produce "separation" of cell tissue (from cold weapons such as knives and axes to guns and grenades rely on kinetic energy shock waves). Fragmentation weapons) are almost impossible to completely eliminate it (in fact, according to the clues in the film, even if the corpse burned by the flamethrower, this kind of creature still survived) This feature almost makes it the most in history. There is no one type of alien life form that is difficult to deal with. In fact, when you face such an alien creature, you are not so much facing a monster as if you are facing a group of molecular clusters containing trillions of terrorist intelligence cells. Any point of cell tissue in the world will have independent consciousness, and will have the ability to capture, infect, fuse, and replace the target life. But it's more than that. If you just think that they become independent individuals and completely separate lives after separation, then you are wrong again. These organs and tissues that have been chopped off, shattered, and blasted, although they can be separate Acting separately and independently, but with an invisible inner connection, not only can they not fight and fight separately, but they can also cooperate with each other, and even combine with each other again when possible. (For example, when the female protagonist's flashlight is illuminated, the two broken hands are re-merging through the organization), and does this mean that you have thought about it? What's even more terrifying behind it is that when these separate individuals merge again, the memory skills and knowledge of the prey they digested will all come together! Now you suddenly realize that this seemingly "low-level disgusting" creature is not at all low-level! ! Even, it is millions of times smarter than you! ! Because not only can it learn, but the separation and integration of countless subdivided small units in it has brought together the essence of countless intelligent life’s technological civilization, emotional thoughts, knowledge and skills, and the objects of these accumulations are not only humans! When we carefully analyze the above characteristics together, and then look at this creature, we will find that this is almost a monster setting against the sky, not only its life form is strong (strong vitality, evolutionary spreading) The method is extremely efficient) and there is a high degree of wisdom and knowledge accumulation, as well as the ultimate ability of continuous learning and self-evolution. When a life possesses these abilities at the same time, even if it is Alien or Godzilla, it is difficult to surpass it as the ultimate threat to other lives. Finally, I want to say that compared to the exploration in the universe, what is generally easier to be overlooked is the various expeditions of the intelligent civilization on the native planets that they think they are born and raised, and they are familiar with. Expeditions in the environment such as glaciers and the dark deep sea in the year, in these scientific examinations will indeed bring together many elites of human civilization, that is, scientists and scholars, but these experts in the above-mentioned environment exploration and scientific investigation sampling research are generally from the perspective of their own disciplines. To set out, the potential dangers are often based on the existing common sense of human beings. Some think that the possible dangers basically refer to the harsh environment or wild animals, etc., and there are very few or almost no understandings of the unknown. From the perspective of human safety, it stipulates clear safety operation procedures and prohibited items to prevent unknown hazards that pose a threat to human survival. In fact, if it is in cosmic voyages, because of more emphasis, at least a series of strict measures against alien species threats will be formulated , There will be strict prohibitions in the operation, but human beings’ insecurity and even stupid behavior in the above-mentioned various environments on the earth may not only pose a threat to himself or his own scientific research team. It is more likely that an unknown organism or an unknown virus may cause all mankind to fall into a crisis under irresponsible operations. The director of the film showed this worry-free lesson through a special technique. It can be seen that the characters in the film have committed a series of serious unforgivable mistakes after discovering unknown life forms, which finally led to disaster. In the absence of any isolation and protection measures, contact with corpses of unknown shape and unknown cause of death or even unknown creatures, and even move the corpse into a heated room, and even a circle of people began to dissect the corpse without any isolation and protection measures. , Including the corpses of later alien creatures, this can only be said to be not only the rhythm of death, but also the great death. Imagine in real life, how many humans take samples from polar glaciers every day, investigate unknown insects and microbes in primitive jungles, and search for energy deposits in the dark deep sea.. In these various behaviors, except for the industry The professional knowledge of human beings, whether the relevant personnel have the slightest sense of security and the corresponding operating procedures for the unknown things that may be encountered, even if there are regulations in this area, but human beings are tempted by the huge greed and the possible benefits of getting rid of How many people can abide by it, how much arrogant human beings can maintain awe of the things that nature does not know to them so far. There is a sentence in "Three Body" that may be the best comment on this-weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is. In these various behaviors, in addition to the professional knowledge of the industry, whether the relevant personnel have the slightest minimum safety awareness and the corresponding operating procedures for the unknown things that may be encountered. Even if there are regulations in this area, human beings are hugely greedy. Under the temptation of the possible benefits of getting rid of, how many people can abide by it, and how much arrogant human beings can maintain awe of the things that nature does not know to them so far. There is a sentence in "Three Body" that may be the best comment on this-weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is.
