The strange shape is a creature, although it is extraordinary, it is still a creature, so we must deal with it from the perspective of biology and combining the characteristics of the creature itself.
From a biological point of view, what creatures fear most is biology (food chain) and environment (survival environment)
From the perspective of the characteristics of the strange shape, physical attacks are basically ineffective against it except for high temperature and radiation (and in general, the physical attack that humans can use to effectively attack the strange shape is high temperature), which is also reflected in the movie. This, but chemical attacks and biochemical weapons, the strange shape cannot help these two.
The method is divided into two aspects: viruses and vaccines
1. Let me talk about the virus first, which directly affects the strange creature, which is called a frontal attack. Anyone who has studied biology understands that viruses must be parasitic on cells to survive, and when they come into contact with other cells, they can perfectly simulate and occupy similarities and functions. What's more, the propagation speed of viruses is faster than that of cells. Much faster! Then you can use this to develop viruses that are specially parasitic in the strange-shaped cells to eliminate the strange-shaped cells.
There are three difficulties in implementing the virus elimination plan:
①How to make the virus recognize the cell infected by the strange shape?
It is known that the strange shape can perfectly imitate and occupy normal cells. In other words, this is an irreversible process. The creature possessed by the strange shape has no possibility of returning to its original state, so once it is possessed, it can only choose to kill it promptly. The difficulty here is how to make the virus recognize the strange cell occupied by the strange shape. Since the strange shape can perfectly imitate the cell, the difference between it and the normal cell is definitely very small, so how to make the virus do both Killing weird cells without harming normal cells is the most difficult point in the virus eradication plan.
②Is there any possibility of mutation and evolution of strange-shaped cells? If so, how?
In the movie, we know that strange shapes can perfectly imitate and occupy the original normal cells. As organisms, there is the possibility of evolution and mutation. Can strange shapes mutate and evolve? If so, does it depend on its own genes or the original genes of the cells it is attached to? The virus plan associated with this must also need to be adjusted and changed.
③The transmission method and effectiveness of the virus
How to distribute the virus after it is developed? What are the forms and media of virus transmission? How long is the lasting effect? These are all crucial influencing factors.
2. In terms of vaccines, before the monsters attack, can we develop a vaccine that can resist and prevent the monsters from invading and replicating our cells? This is a means of guarding against strange shapes. In the movie, it is known that the strange shapes can infect animals (humans and dogs). It is not clear whether they can infect plants. Then the following problems will arise in the process of vaccine development:
①For animals, different species of animals will have different rejection reactions to the same drug. Even the same species, taking humans, will vary from person to person, and other animals are the same. This has brought great instability to the development of vaccines, which does not take into account the variability of strange shapes and the scope of strange shapes infecting plants. Therefore, there will never be a single type and variety of vaccines against strange shapes.
②The development of vaccines requires grotesque original samples. To solve the problem, we must start from the problem itself. What is the original appearance of the strange shape? The strange shape is constantly changing. Different cells possess different strange shapes. As I said before, this process is irreversible. It can perfectly imitate and occupy the original cells, so if you want to obtain the original sample of the strange shape, Very difficult.
Finally, I sincerely hope that the subject of strange shapes can be filmed into TV series in the future. This is because the characteristics of strange shapes themselves are constantly changing and cannot be eliminated at once. A movie of more than two hours is not enough to show strangeness. It would be much better if the appearance of the shape is carried out in the form of a TV series episode by episode. ??? Alien is about to start filming TV series, can the Alien still be far away? Wait and see in the future~
