World view constructed by doomsday science fiction
Linglong sets the story in the background of the future doomsday. In the near future, because the human world is crowded, it is urgent to explore new homes in the universe.
However, due to the phase change of the moon, the earth has experienced dramatic geological changes for decades, and human civilization was completely destroyed in this catastrophe. A new ecosystem-Mana Ecology has also appeared on the ground, and Mana Ecology has bred a new species-"polar eater", which has strong regenerative ability and attack ability, and can absorb the source of human life for future growth and evolution. There were few people left in this catastrophe, so the survivors hid in suspension.
Western elements wrap the spiritual core of China culture.
When watching Linglong, many viewers think they are watching American TV series. Indeed, Linglong's production style is different from that of most ethnic groups. The narrative, character modeling and picture presentation are all branded with American drama, and the western elements presented in the story are everywhere: cave theory, light and shadow church, lighthouse law and so on.
Cave theory
Linglong is a work that emphasizes depth. Being able to withstand the embarrassment of the audience, such as the setting of the lighthouse, it is easy to think of the cave theory.
Cave theory is recorded in the seventh volume of the Republic by Plato, an ancient Greek philosopher, which tells:
A group of prisoners were imprisoned in a cave. They grew up here from birth. Their hands have been chained since childhood and they can't turn back. They can only look at the shadow printed on the cave wall in front of them.
Behind this group of trapped people, there is a passage that can run through the whole cave. Next to this passage, there is a wall, which is not high, probably as high as the screen of the puppet show. People outside walked through the passage with tools and instruments on their backs, and the flames shone these shadows on the wall in front of the trapped people.
So these trapped people think that these shadows are the only real things in this world. Because they have never seen anything else since childhood, only these shadows.
However, suddenly one day, a trapped person was released. He turned around and saw the fire behind him and people walking in the passage. At first, he will feel very confused and even don't believe these things are true.
Until later, someone took him out of the cave and brought him to a normal world, because he had never seen this world, and everything in front of him was strange and doubtful.
He even looked for his own shadow in the water and his own feelings in the cave. Later, he began to accept the normal world slowly, so he began to sympathize with his companions in the cave.
So he decided to go back to the cave to save his companions, but all his companions thought he was crazy. He couldn't persuade his companions to leave with him, and his companions probably didn't think he was saving himself.
If the lighthouse is this cave, then Mark is the first person to walk out of the cave. In episode 12, Mark was born again and was about to leave the lighthouse. We might as well make a bold guess. When he sees the real world, the probability of the story behind him is: Mark returns to the lighthouse, trying to break the laws of the lighthouse, save the people in the lighthouse, and bring the people in the lighthouse to the wider world to let them know.
Lighthouse rule
Linglong has been updated to 12. I believe many people are still wondering what are the three laws of lighthouse? Why should people on the lighthouse abide by these three laws?
Indeed, the first season of Linglong still does not clearly reveal what these three important laws are, but the lighthouse law must be established to better continue human civilization.
First of all, the three laws of lighthouse must be recognized by lighthouse people at the beginning of its establishment, and these three laws must meet the requirements of lighthouse survival.
Secondly, the lighthouse law contains the reasons for abandoning the old world family relationship and prohibiting free love. The emotional bond of human beings is likely to be perceived by polar-eating animals on the ground, thus tracking down human beings and eventually destroying them.
Regarding the survival law of the lighthouse, let's first look at the dialogue between Kyle and the Lord in the middle chapter.
Mark: Corey risked his life to bring back materials for the lighthouse, but he was injured but could not be treated; Mr. Elon has worked hard all his life, but he will be exiled when he is old; Those dusty porters do the heaviest work and eat the cheapest food; 4068 has made great achievements but still has to be beaten; Yes 1225, even giving up one's life to save one's lover is regarded as a crime; So as part of the lighthouse, we live like this. What's the difference between us and a cold corpse?
Duke: Do you know how much energy the lighthouse consumes every minute? You know that there will be a population supply after the war damage, but do you know how many resources are needed to train a wild hunter? You only see the lighthouse give up your injured comrade-in-arms, then you know how many dust people will not even eat worm cakes if you treat a seriously injured hunter! You think the lighthouse is killing the old people, but you don't know how many newborn babies will starve to death to feed those who can't contribute! Lighthouses can't control reproduction. When the population exceeds the carrying limit, then who will you decide to abandon?
From this point of view, although the lighthouse survival rule is cold, it is very practical and useful.
In the final analysis, only by maintaining the order of the lighthouse with cold laws can we get rid of the interference of human feelings and ensure the continuation of human high-quality genes, which is the correct choice for the end.
