"Moon", as you can probably guess from the name, it is a science fiction movie.
But compared to science fiction films, its suspense and ethics are more eye-catching.
The name is the moon, but in fact the content of the story is not directly related to the moon. There seems to be no problem if the moon in the story is replaced by any other planet.
Even the earth.
In the movie, the protagonist Sam signed a three-year employment contract with Lunar Heavy Industries.
In these three years, all he needs to do is collect the original energy source - helium-3 - in the soil on the surface of the moon.
Although Sam is normally hired to work on the moon, his situation is somewhat similar to that of the male protagonist in "The Martian."
The artificial satellite used for communication on the moon has long been broken. He has no way to contact other people and can only endure loneliness and loneliness on the moon.
However, three years is not a particularly long time. Just as it was about to end the contract and go home, Sam had an accident.
First, he suffered from physical problems, and then he had a car accident while driving the lunar rover.
The story also started to change from here.
When Sam woke up in the cabin, not only was his body uninjured, but he also had no memory of the previous car accident. In addition, when he first woke up, he saw the intelligent robot talking to the Earth headquarters, and he didn't find it strange. It seemed that he had left the communication facilities
Forget about the damage.
Later, Sam discovered that a lunar rover broke down outside. He decided to go and have a look, but found that there was another version of himself inside the rover.
At this point in the story, it is a cycle. Obviously, the Sam in the lunar rover is the Sam who appeared before, and the one who appeared later is another.
There are two Sams.
And both of them are clones, number 5 and number 6 respectively.
Each generation of clones will be eliminated after working for three years, and then a new generation of clones will come out to continue fulfilling the three-year work contract, and so on.
Before them, several generations of clones had completed their three-year work and "went home".
…
The movie "Moon" mainly focuses on the issue of human cloning, and it is not directly related to the moon.
The story is not as interesting as "The Martian", and the plot is not particularly brain-burning, but because the subject involves people, it becomes easily thought-provoking.
What exactly are human clones?
A clone of a person is still not himself.
If there is no difference between clones and the original body, does it mean that humans can ensure that they will live at a certain age forever as long as they prepare countless clones?
Yu Dong remembered watching an interview before.
The subject of the interview was a primary school student. When asked what he thought of human cloning, the primary school student excitedly said that if possible, he hoped to clone another version of himself to help him with his homework.
This idea is very interesting, but the problem is that if the cloned self does not undergo any memory processing, it will be no different from him. Then the clone should think the same as him and hope to have another clone.
Help him with his homework.
Will they get into a fight over homework?
If you now ask this question to an adult, would you like to clone another person to help you work and make money, and then enjoy life?
There are definitely many people who will be moved.
But if you do this, it proves that the main body does not regard the clone as itself at all, even if the clone is exactly the same as the main body from the inside out.
There may be no answers to these questions, and what Yu Dong wants to do now is not to find the answers, but to write this story.
…
When the plane landed in China, the outline of "Moon" was already out.
This novel won't be too long, it should be between 100,000 and 150,000 words. If I write it quickly enough, it can be written in two weeks.
After writing the outline on the plane, there was a side effect, that is, I was very sleepy after getting off the plane, so after they arrived in Shanghai, Yu Dong fell asleep in the car.
I slept in a daze all the way to Jinling.
Seeing that he woke up, Bi Feiyu smiled and said, "You woke up at the right time. You will be at school soon."
Yu Dong rubbed his eyes sleepily, and then looked out the car window. They were indeed familiar scenery.
"I slept for so long."
"No, it will get dark again soon, and you will have insomnia again." Yu Hua smiled, "I told you on the plane to pay attention to the jet lag, but you didn't listen at all. It's okay now, I'll have you tonight.
Bear it."
"It's okay, I feel like I can still sleep at night."
Yu Hua pouted and turned to look out the window. At this moment, the car had arrived at the school gate.
Jiang Jie opened the car window, stretched his head towards the reception room and shouted: "Uncle Zhou, please open a door for us and let us in. There are many salutes."
Uncle Zhou was drinking tea when he heard Jiang Jie's voice and walked out of the communication room.
"You're back. I thought you wouldn't be back until school started, so why didn't you notify me in advance?" As he said that, Uncle Zhou pointed to the top of his head again, "Look at this."
Yu Dong and the others crouched down in the car and looked up, only to see a banner hanging above the school gate.
Letter: Welcome national fighter Comrade Yu Dong back to school.
That's not all, there are also several banners hanging on the avenue behind the gate.
[Welcome the national champion Comrade Yu Hua to return to school.]
[Welcome the national champion Comrade Bi Feiyu to return to school.]
[Welcome the national champion Comrade Fu Jing to return to school.]
…
Anyone who goes to France this time, as long as they are a gold artist, will have a special welcome banner, even Yu Haiguo has one.
Moreover, Yu Haiguo’s banner has one more word than the others.
[Welcome Comrade Yu Haiguo, the little national champion, to return to school.]
Chen Hong burst into laughter and touched Yu Haiguo's head again: "Is there any more of this kid?"
Bi Feiyu stretched out his head and asked: "Uncle Zhou, who did this?"
"Secretary Hu made it and hung it up a week ago. I'm just waiting for you to come back."
"Isn't this a bit too ostentatious?"
Uncle Zhou smiled and said: "What kind of ostentation is this? During the two days when your incident was in the news, a group of people gathered in front of our school every day."
"A group of people gathered together? What are they doing?"
"I said it was to support you, but most of the people who came here were students. Later, some people asked me when you would come back. They probably wanted to welcome you. If I had come back a few days earlier, I guess you could still see a few of them."
As he spoke, Uncle Zhou asked Xiao Fang to open the school door, "You have worked hard along the way, go back and rest quickly."
"Okay, see you later."
The car drove into Jinyi. After walking for a while, Mo Yan looked at the welcome banner with his name written on it and said with a smile: "Feiyu had the foresight not to let Jiang Jie tell the school about our return, otherwise today would be like this
The door is really hard to get in."
Yu Hua nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, if others don't tell you, Secretary Hu will definitely bring people to greet us. But the summer vacation is not over yet, so I guess Secretary Hu won't be able to organize many people."
"Then you underestimate Secretary Hu." Bi Feiyu said.
"I'm not looking down on him, but he can't conjure people out of thin air, right?"
Yu Dong smiled and said: "That's really hard to say. If you tell him the news about our return, maybe he can spread the news in Jinling. By then, many of the passionate young men from Jinling will definitely come over."
Chapter completed!
