Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 995 Piggy
Because Zhang Chong broke his personal book sales in a single day and Zhang Chongri's matter aroused a lot of heat, during this time everyone was discussing these two things, or it was one thing in itself.

But people will never forget that Zhang Zhong's new book "Speaker of the Dead" has just met with you.

Wang Yu has also been reading this book for the past two days. The predecessor of this book, namely "Ender's Game", is very popular with Wang Yu.

Some people on the Internet suggested that Zhang Zhong release a sequel to "Ander's Game" as soon as possible, and Wang Yu was one of them.

But what Wang Yu didn't expect was that the second book came out 3000 years later.

And the background narrative at the beginning also made Wang Yu feel a little unhappy. Ender was originally a hero who defeated the alien invaders, but he didn't expect that with the rolling of time, he turned into a devil who slaughtered alien intelligent creatures .

To put it simply, Ender became a scapegoat for people to cover up their sins.

In Wang Yu's heart, Ander was neither a hero nor a sinner. At that time, he was just an innocent child who was kept in the dark.

Those sinister grown-ups pushed him to the front and made him suffer.

While Wang Yu complained about Ander, he also felt that Ander in this book had changed a lot.

When people grow up, of course they have to change.

But this is not what Wang Yu wants to say. Wang Yu wants to say that the second volume of "The Speaker of the Dead" seems to have paid less attention to the description of the personal emotional world, and more to constructing a more complex world.

The first book "Ender's Game" is very simple, that is, humans found the Zerg and were afraid of being invaded, so they found a group of children to train, and wanted to use the children to deal with the Zerg.

The lines of the whole story are simple and clear, and the relationship between characters and the distribution of strength are also particularly easy to figure out.

But the second book "Speaker of the Dead" is much more complicated. It is not just as simple as adding one more piggies, but also interspersed with many other lines of stories.

For example, why Ender wanted to go to the planet where the piggies were located was because he had received information about things on the planet before.

In order to protect the piggies, humans forbid ordinary humans to contact this planet, and only sent specific biologists to contact them.

In fact, these contacts of human beings are more or less self-explanatory. Their protection is more like a kind of surveillance. This kind of surveillance is used to ensure that there is a gap between the piggies and human technology, so that human beings will not be threatened.

In other words, only if the piggies are not powerful enough to threaten humans, their race is safe.

Relatively speaking, the piggies' understanding of humans is not as good as their understanding of humans. After all, the level of technology is different, so some misunderstandings occurred when they came into contact with them, and some misunderstandings were quite fatal.

The biological scientist in charge of studying them was dismembered by the piggies because of some special progress in their research.

The reason why the piggies dismembered Pipo was not because they wanted to kill Pipo, but because they thought that Pipo was an abnormal development just like them.

Here I want to talk about the characteristics of the piggies. They develop abnormally. When they were young, they were worms in the trunk of the mother tree. When they were young, they were piggies-looking like pigs. The glory of the tree will then be planted.

Planting trees is a common life process for piggies, and it can even be said to be a kind of glory. For them, only being planted can be regarded as their final form and ushering in the light.

The tree-planting process is brutal—to humans, the other piggies make the eligible piggies eat a plant that resembles a narcotic.

Eating this plant does not feel pain.

Then they would disembowel the piglet and plant a sapling in place of its heart.

This small sapling will absorb nutrients from the piggy, and will soon grow into a towering tree, and the piggy's consciousness will also be transferred to this tree.

Such a tree is called a parent tree.

As the name suggests, the paternal tree is all about preparing for procreation.

The piggies would bring the females from the mother tree to the father tree and let them climb into the sap.

The powder in the sap will enter the magnetic body, and then conceive a piglet.

But their birth process is not conventional, but first climb to the mother tree, give birth to the piglets, and then nourish the piglets with their bodies.

As mentioned above, the little piglets existed in the abdominal cavity of the mother tree in a form similar to worms at the beginning, and the main nutrition they absorbed came from their mother's body.

In this process, females seem to be just a medium. They may become mothers to bear the task of reproduction as soon as they are born, and then give their bodies to nourish the next generation.

So Pipo's death was very unjust. He died because of a misunderstanding between the two races.

The piggies think that Pipo has contributed a lot to their race, so they are qualified to become a father tree to welcome the light, but what they don't know is that human beings are completely different from them. After being disemboweled, human beings usher in only death, not death. bright.

Moreover, when Pipo and the others died, it was very painful, because the anesthetic plants used by the piggies had no effect on humans, so they felt full when they were disembowelled.

The very beginning of the book is to lead to biologists being killed by piglets.

Because they don't know the piggies, humans are shocked by these two "murders".

They started discussing whether the piggies were xenomorphs.

In fact, "Advocate for the Dead" is discussing such a problem.

In one of them, a young biologist was very sad after learning what happened to the mothers in the piggies. He believed that these mothers were born, mated, gave birth, and died in infancy. They didn't even know that they had lived. Pass.

The alien biologist hopes to invent a way to allow these little mothers to conceive offspring without being eaten by their own children.

To this end, she thought of some methods, such as caesarean section, and then invented a protein-rich substance to replace their corpses as baby food.

But Ender stopped her fantasy. Ender said, if the piggies invent a way to impregnate human baby girls, and these children can eat the corpse of their little mother, will humans accept it?
In fact, when I first saw this paragraph, Wang Yu wanted to argue with Ander, wanting to say that the way of human reproduction should be more advanced. It is a matter of course to develop a low-level one into a high-level one, and vice versa. .

But after careful consideration, he found that he was still caught in the arrogance of a so-called advanced civilization.
