"My hometown earth, that is a backward but beautiful planet. Our civilization has just stepped into space, and the last satellite (moon) is enough for astronauts to brag about for a lifetime. "
"Our means of transportation are still very backward, and on the ground we still use wheeled vehicles. Four-wheeled ones are called cars, and two-wheeled ones are motorcycles (there are also human-powered bicycles). "
Star-Lord Peter - Jason -Quill described it with reminiscence.
Kamala: "It sounds really backward. Human-powered transportation? What's the point? It's not as fast as an external skeleton. "
Star-Lord waved his hand, he was a little upset that Kamala interrupted him, and he continued, "That's a different thing. Riding a bicycle is the fun of pedaling. I had a bike like that when I was a child. It was natural color, and my mother helped me make decorative tassels out of leather on the handlebars of the bike. "
"It makes my bike look as cool as a cowboy's ride."
Rocket whispered to Groot, "Look, Star-Lord pretends to be deep when he doesn't dance. But he doesn't look like one at all! "
Groot: "I
Grood。”
Rocket nodded. "You also agree with my persuasion, and you think what I said makes sense, right, man? Star-Lord is best suited for dancing, not pretending to be a poet. "
Drax the Destroyer was polishing his alloy knives, as if he had no interest in participating in this discussion.
Star-Lord did not feel uncomfortable because of his companion's ridicule. Anyway, the thickness of his skin made him completely immune to these things. He continued to reminisce: "Although the earth is poor, barren, and backward. It's even a little wild, but I think it's the most charming planet in the entire universe. "
"Haha." Kamala's laughter was very dry, dry like a desert, and it was very perfunctory.
"Hey! I mean seriously! Listen to this music! " Star-Lord threw the album cover of "Rock and Roll Gold Collection of the 80s" on the table. "Have you ever heard such nice music on other planets?"
"If you don't start dancing every time you hear this music, then I admit that it's really beautiful. But every time you dance awkwardly, it makes me uncomfortable, "Drax the Destroyer said.
"Every time you twist your body while dancing, it makes me want to cut your neck and bleed you."
Star-Lord waved his hand: "You can't do this, this is the charm of music. It is human nature to sway in time with the music. Besides, I'm not the only one who danced. Didn't you all dance? "
Seeing Drax's eyes getting colder and colder, Star-Lord decided to change the topic. "In addition to music, there are many other attractive things on the earth that I have never seen in so many universes."
Kamala flipped her hair. "Tell me about it."
"For example, in a movie, it uses visual illusions and camera language, as well as scripts and actors' performances. Tell us all kinds of stories on the big screen. Of course, most of them were fake, but they were extremely charming. There are also TV dramas on the small screen, simulation games, and all kinds of other recreational activities. "
The more Star-Lord said, the more excited he became: "Since I plan to go back to the earth this time, then I will make up for all the Hollywood blockbusters I haven't seen in these years at once! I don't know if the second Terminator has been released. And I'm going to see a Michael Jackson concert! And I'm going to buy an FC to play! My mother didn't allow me to play games for too long. "
"I want to try to clear 'Mario' and 'Contra' in one life, as well as' Locke People 'and' Sando Snake '!"
Star-Lord found that he needed to make up for a lot of childhood regrets when he returned to the earth, and it was estimated that this trip to the earth would take a lot of time.
And Kamala couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard what Star-Lord said. "Do you earthlings like to indulge in self-deception so much?"
"Watching movies, playing games, watching TV dramas and magic. Aren't these all fake? Why did he have to spend his time on these fakes? Do you like to deceive your senses in various ways? " Kamala still can't figure out why humans like Star-Lord are addicted to these entertainment activities.
Star-Lord shrugged. "I think it's probably because of the lack of materials. As I said before, the earth is a very barren place. It is already a great achievement to be able to break out of the atmosphere and go to the moon. Our planet lacks high-grade isotopes. It is naturally much worse than the development of many civilizations. "
"I remember that the energy conversion method on the earth is also very backward. Many times, it is necessary to sacrifice the environment and even life and health in exchange for the development of civilization. And because of the original energy shortage, many world-class wars have broken out inside the earth. "
Star-Lord scratched his head. "It's hard to believe. When the earthlings rushed out of the atmosphere, we still had more than two hundred countries. We were on a barren planet and divided into different countries and forms, but some people still stepped into space and landed on the moon. This is completely different from other civilizations, which basically tend to be unified when they step into space. "
"And many civilizations' weapons of mass destruction such as thermonuclear weapons and missiles were developed after entering the Space Age. But the earth invented primary thermonuclear weapons a few decades after stepping into the Space Age. We are fighting each other on our planet with these weapons that cause irreversible damage to the environment. "
"It's hard to believe." Kamala listened to Star-Lord's introduction and said with a little incredulity, "According to you, earthlings are even more warlike than the Kitareans. At least they don't throw any weapons with nuclear fusion and nuclear radiation on the planet they live on. "
"Yeah, it's really strange. You didn't become as easy to kill as the Kitareans. Don't you think so, Drax? "Rocket said as he leaned against Drax's leg and patted his thigh.
Drax didn't answer. He just looked at Star-Lord with some doubts in his eyes.
"Yes, this is the difference between the earthlings and the Kitareans and other civilizations." Star-Lord spread out his hands and said seriously, "Our civilization is crowded and narrow, with a shortage of resources and frequent wars. The small earth is crowded with six billion people (Earth's population statistics when Star-Lord left). "
"We are like sardines living in a can. The bigger the city and the more developed the area, the more this is the case. Earthlings live in crowded conditions, and even breathing fresh air has become a luxury. Maybe this is why the culture of the earth has become different. "
Star-Lord thought about this issue very seriously. "Most of the other civilizations that can enter the Interstellar Civilization Era have better conditions and resources than the earth. But the earth doesn't. Maybe it is these things that you think are self-deceiving that can make the earth what it is now. "
"We use various ways to deceive our own senses and empty our brains. Watch a ninety-minute movie and put yourself in another world. Read an imaginative novel and let yourself fly into another life journey. Watch a magic show and be nervous and admire the process of knowing that it will have a good ending. "
"We play games, we listen to music, we go dancing, we sing. Everything is for us to put aside our worries for a while. Only in this way can humans survive in this hard world. And keep moving forward. Because the world is painful, but we are trying to make our lives as painful as possible. This is probably the greatest charm of the earth's culture. "
All this Star-Lord said made the other three people of the Guardian of the Galaxy fall into thought. And they are now more and more interested in the earth. A world with a low level of civilization, but it has given birth to various brilliant cultures.
What is this world like? Everyone is looking forward to it.
The Interstellar Jump has begun to stop and decelerate, and everyone in the Guardian of the Galaxy can already see the burning sun and the outermost planet of the Solar System – Pluto.
"Earth! My hometown! I'm coming back! "Star-Lord Quill was extremely excited. He had many childhood dreams waiting to be realized! Even if the earth is backward and barren, it is still his hometown!
