Chapter 676: If There"s Nothing Better to Do Next Time, Just Blast a Few Planets and Film It for FunTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
With Hong Dali on the verge of enlisting in the Galaxy Alliance, it was necessary to inform him of these fundamental aspects.
“Of course there are films. In fact, there is music all along as well,” explained Deca.
“The aim of the advancements of both technology and man is to better enjoy life. For example, the production of electrical energy is for people to better enjoy nightlife. In another example, things like televisions, computers, music and films are all created for our leisure.
“In the Galaxy Alliance, humans no longer face that much need in production as many of the labor-intensive jobs are a.s.signed to robots and most of the people only need to work for 4 hours daily. Once they have set tasks for the robots, they are pretty much done for the day.
“If they spend 4 hours working and 1 to 2 hours eating, what do they do with the remaining time? The answer is, entertainment!
“From music and films to virtual reality adventures, these are a form of entertainment. Not everyone is cut out for martial arts, and most people pick up martial arts for the sake of keeping their bodies fit. Entertainment, on the other hand, is the eternal topic of humans in s.p.a.ce.
“Let"s talk about this film, ‘Holy Warriors of the G.o.ddess". If it was filmed by the mega film companies in the Galaxy Alliance, the background would have been more spectacular.
“At the very least, it has to be the collaboration between several planets and the G.o.ddess has to be nominated by the humans from a few planets. During the battle, we must then at least blast a few small planets and satellites on scene before saving the humans. Therefore, this battle of yours that involves only a few small cities seems like child"s play.”
After hearing Deca"s words, Hong Dali"s eyes nearly popped out as he exclaimed, “Wow! That"s sick! Do productions of all galaxy films work using planets as units?”
“Of course.” laughed Deca. “At least at the scale of planets. Furthermore, there are countless small planets in the universe, so many movies just use uninhabited planets for filming. If those movies involve battles, they really blast off a handful of small planets. It is only satisfying to watch if some small planets explode.”
d.a.m.n! That"s so dope!
Hong Dali"s eyes lit up.
On Earth, there were already insufficient settings to make another film. But in the universe, a film could easily be made in the scale of planets, and they were all real! If they were to film “Avatar”, “Pirates of the Caribbean”, or “Transformers”, oh my goodness, a single battle would send a bunch of small planets exploding. Even the thought of it was so sensational!
Other topics would not interest Hong Dali at all. But the mention of movies would get him all excited. Previously on Earth, he had watched many amazing films and read many novels.
Re-plot, re-plot all of them!
Hehe, when there"s nothing to do, let"s just blast a few planets and film it for fun. There"s nothing more prodigal than this! Muahahaha!
After talking about movies, Deca proceeded to recommend Hong Dali other forms of entertainment. “Apart from movies, there is music. Take for example ‘The Voice of The Galaxy". After going through the selection of the humans of every planet in the entire universe, you will be sent to the compet.i.tion divisions for a challenge to level up. If you can obtain champions.h.i.+ps in 150 divisions, your value will increase by ten thousand times.” As he spoke, he glanced at Li Nianwei, who was standing not far away, and said, “I feel that Miss Li Nianwei has a good chance. Her voice is the best I"ve ever heard.”
Hmm, not forgetting to insert a few flattering words at this time….
“I see. Hmm, I"ll see as it goes. I love entertainment the most, hehe.” Hong Dali nodded furiously. “Is there anything else?”
“The rest are just gaming and gambling,” said Deca with a laugh. “Gaming refers to virtual reality adventures, which is basically similar to online games in your world. As for gambling, there"s nothing much to say. It has existed ever since the beginning of mankind. But Dali, I feel that with your luck, you can win big money if you give it a try or two.”
*Gaming is fine. Gambling, I"ll pa.s.s on that. *Hong Dali touched his nose. He was really afraid that he would win big money at the expense of his looks. If the System deducted his looks value, he would no longer have the face to see the world…
Regardless, Hong Dali finally understood some rules about the universe.
Entertainment, hehe. As a superprodigal, a Planet-level prodigal, splurging without holding back and making a scene would be such an interesting thing. Buying a couple of planets to explode for fun, how extravagantly cool!
After hearing Deca"s words, the films made on Earth really did seem like child"s play.
When the movie ended, Hong Dali stood up and said, “Alright, I have a sense of things now. Let"s go get dinner first. I happen to really need the help of Mr. McGregor.”
“It was my pleasure to help you, Young Master.” Do you see that? In the universe, planets are blasted as easily as that. McGregor was so immersed in the conversation, how could he disagree? “As long as it"s within my capabilities, I will do my very best.”
“Sure, let"s go!” Hong Dali said with a smile, “Let"s go to the South Pole to look at penguins!”
One hour later, at the South Pole.
Hong Dali waited for a table to be placed on the ice to have a western meal. His Elemental Oscillation redirected the cold wind to blow outwards and hence, the place where they were eating at was relatively warm…
“Erm, Mr. President,” said Hong Dali as he feasted on his steak. While looking at the adorable penguins, he continued, “It"s so fun in the universe that I feel that I can"t cope on my own. How about you talk to people from Hollywood, while I call up a few more people, and we all head out to the Galaxy Alliance to film a movie?”
On Earth, Hong Dali was only in charge of creative works as he had Ling Xiaoyi to help him make connections.
However, at the Galaxy Alliance, with unfamiliar faces in a foreign place, even if Hong Dali was very creative, no company would want to buy his works. So, it was best that he brought his own people.
“This…” McGregor thought for a while, before he continued, “I"ll try my best. But it"s ultimately interstellar travel, so I"m afraid no one will dare to go.”
“The aspect of safety is nothing to worry about,” said Deca. “I guarantee that as long as we don"t run into Zergs, we can definitely reach the center of the Galaxy Alliance safely.”
“No no no, that"s not what I meant,” said McGregor. “I believe the two of you already knew, that the key to interstellar travel lies in the connection between one another. There are definitely some people from Hollywood who are willing to take the risk. But the main issue is how they are going to connect with the people on Earth once they leave.”
“Hmm, indeed.” Deca pondered, then he added, “How about this? Back when I was exploring in the virtual universe, I obtained the power of interstellar transfer. Every month, I"ll bring them over to the virtual universe to transfer them back to connect with everyone. How about that?”
Hong Dali nodded profusely. “Yes, good idea! I"ll also have to return regularly. If not, my parents will worry.”
“If so, I"ll go back and ask.” McGregor nodded. “I"m sure the people from Hollywood will give you face, Young Master.”
“That"s good, that"s good.” Hong Dali nodded in between giggles. He was eating when Ling Xiaoyi suddenly walked over and whispered, “Young Master, there is news from Miss Chuyin that the research on the Small High-Energy Electronic Collision Machine has been completed.”
“Ah? Completed?!” Hong Dali was so over the moon that he jolted up. “Go! Bring me there! Muahahaha! My Granzon can finally work!”
At the East Sea of Heavenly State, in the base of the Second Fish aircraft carrier at Sea Turtle Island.
Sea Turtle Island had been revamped into a super large-scale aircraft carrier base of a dozen square miles. All sorts of high-tech equipment were seamlessly s.h.i.+pped in and out, the majority of which Hong Dali could not recognize. But just by the appearance, he could tell that they were advanced technology. Anyway, the mysterious man had gathered the best scientists and equipment in the world to specially research on the newest technologies.
In the Photon Force Laboratory.
“Chuyin, is the research on the Small High-Energy Electronic Collision Machine complete?” Hong Dali asked Lin Chuyin the moment he entered through the big doors of the laboratory. He gave her a warm hug before saying with a smile, “You must have exhausted yourself this whole time?”
“Oh, it"s fine.” Traces of joy could be seen on Lin Chuyin"s face. This was the reaction generated after practicing for so many months. After the hug, Lin Chuyin pulled at Hong Dali"s sleeve and said, “Testing has been completed at the moment. I believe after slight modifications to the outer casing, it can be installed onto the Granzon and the Valsion.”
“Not bad, not bad!” Hong Dali nodded in satisfaction. He pulled Lin Chuyin in and gave her a firm peck on the lips. “Good job!”
Lin Chuyin, who had no feelings all along, suddenly blushed, “It… It"s fine…”
Lin Chuyin was finally shy, yay!
October 1st, 2014. It was a date to remember.
On this day, the Granzon was finally installed with the Small High-Energy Electronic Collision Engine. Such energy engines ran normally at three million volts and could reach a peak of up to 12 million volts.
It could supply enough energy for normal activity of the Granzon at the moment. A small part of the weapons on the Granzon could also be in use…
Meanwhile, the Valsion was also installed with the energy engine. In addition, as for the items that Hong Dali had instructed the Bureau Chief to get, apart from the 180 aircraft carriers which were impossible to gather within such a short period of time, the super race car, The Dark Angel Astranagan, was also already broken down and re-a.s.sembled into a gorgeous mecha. After the installation of the engines, Hong Dali ordered, “Bring Little w.a.n.g Mo. Let"s enjoy ourselves today, haha!”
And so, Hong Dali, Lin Chuyin and w.a.n.g Mo, the three of them boarded the mechas and Hong Dali fiercely pushed the b.u.t.ton. “Take off!”
Soon, the three mechas, due to the limitless resources from the Small High-Energy Electronic Collision Machine, took off amidst deafening roaring of the engines.
Initially, their flight speed was not considered very fast. But after getting used to it, the three mechas gradually picked up speed and reached an alt.i.tude of two thousand meters in no time. From the ground, the three mechas, one blue, one red, and one black, appeared as three small dots.
“Little Mo Mo, how do you feel?” Hong Dali said to w.a.n.g Mo while smiling. “Now that you are in the universe, are you afraid?” There was the Galaxy Mecha Compet.i.tion in the Galaxy Alliance. So, Hong Dali eventually managed to convince Little w.a.n.g Mo"s parents to let him bring w.a.n.g Mo over—this guy was a genius in controls, it would be such a waste to not bring him!
“Not afraid!” w.a.n.g Mo"s voice sounded determined. He flew the Astranagan steadily and laughed. “Big Brother Dali, is the Galaxy Mecha Compet.i.tion in the Galaxy Alliance really fun? Will it be dangerous?”
“What"s dangerous about things from the virtual universe?” Hong Dali chuckled. “When the time comes, we will go and play together, hehe.”
“Okay!”
