Hollywood (我就是好莱坞) Part II

CHAPTER 225- The X-Files (Part 2)

"Mr. Williams, what does 'Brett' mean?" Elisabeth, sitting at the end of the table, quickly raised her hand and interrupted Eric.

Eric glanced at her and asked, "Miss Murdoch, let me first ask you, what is Coruscant in Star Wars or Cybertron in Transformers?"

"I don't know!" Elisabeth bluntly replied.

"Then, shut up!" Eric coldly berated.

He did not intend to pamper this young lady. It's fine if she makes a few jokes in private, but work is work. Her immature behavior had already reached his bottom line. He warned, "If you interrupt me again, I will have you thrown out."

Elisabeth instinctively wanted to retort 'you dare?!' but seeing Eric's gloomy face, she remained quiet and simply lowered her head.

Eric coughed lightly, ignoring the curious gazes of the screenwriters shifting between him and Elizabeth, and said, "Okay, let's continue."

"In the vast universe, a planet named Brett gave birth to an intelligent species known as the Brett. After hundreds of millions of years of technological accumulation, the Brett mastered the technology of space travel, which made them a very powerful force in the universe. However, as time continued, not only did their planet significantly deteriorate, but the Bretts themselves have almost gone extinct due to long-term natural evolution..."

After Eric said this, he noticed that Elisabeth had once again raised her hand, but this time she didn't interrupt him. She just stared at Eric with a pair of curious eyes.

Eric felt more than a little annoyed at being interrupted again. He yelled while gritting his teeth, "What?!"

At the same time, he swore in his heart that if Elisabeth asked another stupid question, he would have her thrown out immediately.

"Mr. Williams, according to Darwin's Theory of Evolution, doesn't life continue to grow more advanced and more advanced through evolution? Why do you say that the Brett have almost gone extinct due to evolution?"

Eric thought for a few moments and replied, "Darwin's Theory of Evolution covers only a short period of the evolution of a species. What I am referring to is the development trend of species at the genetic level. Birth, growth, stagnation, and death; this is irreversible law of the universe. It doesn't matter whether one is a huge galaxy or a tiny atom; it is impossible to circumvent this law. If you read more books, you will find that the genes of a species are not suited to evolution. After a certain amount of time, the genetic sequence will begin to decline and disintegrate. Currently, there is a saying within the scientific community that the Y-chromosome in humans has begun to degenerate, so perhaps after millions of years, there will be only women on the planet. Well, that's if there are any humans still alive on earth."

While the writers chuckled, Eric turned to Elisabeth and solemnly warned her, "Okay, Liz, that was your last question. If you have any more doubts, either remain quiet or leave this room."

Without waiting for her reply, Eric said, "Alright, like I was saying, due to their imminent extinction, the Brett has developed a grand alien colonization plan for the continuation of species. Through their technology, they have created a very advanced spacecraft, and at the same time they have compressed their vitality into an autonomous black liquid."

Eric quickly wrote the word on the whiteboard and said, "This black liquid carries the vitality of the Brett species. It is called 'black oil.'Meanwhile, the spaceship carries the remnants of the Brett and the black oil and begins its journey through the infinitely-large universe. When they encounter a planet suitable for life, they stop. Using the genetic blueprint of the Brett within black oil, they guide the planet's life to evolve until the right species appears. Then, the black oil begins its invasion of this species through infection, and after a series of genetic modifications, the original species disappears and the new species, the revitalized Brett, appears. Through this process, the Brett has continued to spread their species throughout the universe."
