Chapter 364: Prometheus and the Contract

"The creator may not be more perfect than the things he creates." Li Shiming closed his eyes and thought quickly in his mind: "The two spaceships are called Prometheus and Contract respectively. Why are they called this name? Is it really a coincidence?

?”

"Prometheus is a god in Greek mythology. He is the thief of fire, the creator of life, and the rebel of the gods. In Greek mythology, he created humans based on his own body, but he disobeyed

Following the command of Zeus, he brought fire to mankind."

"Does this look like the humans in the movie? The humans in the movie created cyborgs based on their own bodies, and at the same time they rebelled against their creator - the engineer."

"There are indeed some similarities." Chen Ruier nodded with understanding.

"As for the contract number, I had to think of two things when I contacted David." Li Shiming raised his head and looked at George: "George, do you still remember the contract signed between God and man?"

"Obedience is a blessing, disobedience is a curse?" George thought for a moment and suddenly shouted.

"Yes, in fact, the birth of the alien in the movie and David's rebellion all come from human beings' exploration of gods and their pursuit of eternal life." Li Shiming said solemnly: "When humans lose their respect for gods,

, disaster will befall mankind."

"The exploration of life is exactly the essence of life." Lu Cheng suddenly interjected: "Is there anything wrong with this?"

"This is just my analysis and what the film director may want to express." Li Shiming shook his head: "So there is no need to discuss this matter here."

"Then what's the use of this?" Lu Cheng asked: "We don't have much time, and we don't have any extra time to waste."

"Then please listen to me!" Li Shiming looked extremely serious: "In addition to this, there is also the Styx River in Greek mythology. It is said to be the river of suffering, the river of oath-keeping, and the river of anger.

river, and its owner is Styx, the god of oaths in Greek mythology.”

"In mythology, the River Styx is the River Styx. Mortals who touch the water of the River Styx must enter the underworld. Gods who cross this river will lose their divinity, and demigods will live forever after immersing in the river water.

Invulnerable

Come in." Li Shiming said: "What did you think of?"

"Blackwater weapons." Meng Nan said solemnly.

"Yes, it is a black water weapon. Or is a black water weapon really a weapon?" Li Shiming thought: "The engineer took the black water, his body was decomposed, turned into genes and integrated into the earth, and then life was born.

, does this count as losing divine power? Human beings have taken black water weapons, their genes have changed, and they will inevitably die in the end. Does this count as entering the underworld? "

"So, what you mean is that the black water weapon is actually the water of the Styx?" Qiong Qianyu rubbed her forehead. She was a little confused about what was going on with Li Shiming's brain circuit. She always felt that this statement was too far-fetched.

.

"That's right." Li Shiming thought: "It is stated in the movie that engineers have returned to the earth many times to observe and teach humans. Is there an element of experimentation in that?"

"In the world of this movie, are those people in human history who are gifted with invulnerability, those with extraordinary abilities, all engineers' experiments? By immersing themselves in black water, they have powers far beyond ordinary people.

But in the end, he faced death because he could not truly withstand this power." Li Shiming said: "The purpose of the experiment is to learn more about black water through humans."

"Engineer, are you trying to use black water to evolve?" Chen Ruier suddenly shouted.

"That's right." Li Shiming nodded: "If you think about the aliens, they have almost unlimited evolutionary potential. Maybe this is what engineers want!"

"Think about it." Meng Nan suddenly said: "In "Prometheus", the engineer's behavior was a little strange."

"Strange?" Li Shiming looked at Meng Nan doubtfully.

"Yes, that engineer drank black water. Why did he drink it? Was he really asking for death? Was he really sacrificing himself for others?" Meng Nan said: "If the engineer had a certain understanding of black water at that time

What? What if it was just an experiment by an engineer?"

"Understood." Xia Wenqing also nodded: "That was an experiment for engineers to transcend themselves into gods!"

"That's right, just like after someone discovered the elixir of life, he took the medicine and tasted it.

Try the same thing." Meng Nan said in a deep voice: "The engineer did not hesitate in his actions, and he did not show any unwillingness when he drank the black water weapon. Therefore, he should not be coerced."

"Indeed." Li Shiming nodded.

"Then, there is another question. Is Black Water successful?" Meng Nan said: "After humans took Black Water, their bodies collapsed and turned into zombie-like creatures. But engineers gave birth to life on the earth.

.”

"You mean, Blackwater succeeded?" Li Shiming said in shock.

"Yes, what I think is that Black Water actually succeeded at that time, and it does have the ability to biochemically transform the essence of living things." Meng Nan said: "The engineer was experimenting at that time, and his experiment was successful, and his cells were

He achieved transcendence and became a being with infinite vitality.”

"But he is dead." Lu Cheng said.

"A strong body must have a strong will. Although his body succeeded, his will was unable to withstand the power brought by the body. Therefore, his body collapsed." Meng Nan explained: "Explained this way,

Maybe that makes sense. Why did the engineer look so calm and why did no other engineers try to come down to the rescue?"

"Wait a minute, I want to ask you what this has to do with our current situation!" Qiong Qianyu was a little crazy.

"It does matter. If these conjectures are correct, then we already know the truth." Li Shiming looked at Qiong Qianyu: "After the Oath incident, David drove the spacecraft to the Engineer's home planet and passed the alien army

Destroyed this place. And the reason why David came here is because he wanted to get to the source of the black water."

"David has probably already guessed what we have guessed. You still remember what David said in "Alien: Covenant": 'I am the King of Kings, and I have achieved unparalleled achievements. Dare I be called

God is impressed'! This sentence comes from "Ousmandias" and represents his ambition to become the creator!"

"So, David's purpose is to become a real god! He is not willing to be a cyborg created by humans. He wants to be supreme over all life!"

"He wants to become a god!"
