Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

After Marupo Naiza II ceased operations, Feiyan I and Feiyan II landed near the Dinosaur Biological Research Center.

Saber Athena arrived late, and by the time Lina arrived, Maru Sako had already stopped moving.

Because of the threat posed by the neutron bullet inside Maru-sako Natsumi II, the GUTS team did not act rashly.

The members of the GUTS team approached Daigo and Horii to learn about the situation.

"Horii, who are these people?" Munakata asked, looking at Adam and Ima being carried by Daigo and Hori.

"Commander, they are dinosaur people," Da Gu Dao said.

"Dinosaur Man?" The members of the Victory Team were all somewhat surprised.

"Yes. I suspect that the Naga people took some of the dinosaurs with them before the dinosaurs went extinct, and they evolved in space, becoming the dinosaur-men we know today," Horii nodded and said.

"Notify the captain first, and then interrogate them," Zong Fang said.

"clear!"

Shen Yun did not participate, but quietly looked at the Maru-Sakunaga II in the distance, lost in thought.

Why would the Naga people use the dinosaur people to activate and control Marubo Neza to destroy humanity?

If the Naga people had the technology to travel extremely long distances in space, cultivate giant creatures, and perform biochemical surgery on them 60 million years ago...

So, 60 million years later, the Naga people's technology should be even more advanced.

Maru-sako Naiza, in the end, is nothing more than a bio-electronic dinosaur left on Earth by the Naga people 60 million years ago.

For the Naga people today, this might just be an extremely old object.

It's important to understand that science and technology evolve at a very rapid pace.

Putting aside other factors, just look at the difference between artillery shells from 60 years ago and the current Magnum cannon, and you'll understand how fast weapons are being updated and replaced.

If humans are like this, then the Naga people, who have a higher level of civilization, must be even more so.

A civilization that has existed for more than 60 million years must have a level of technological advancement that far exceeds human imagination.

It's important to know that the history of the Land of Light in the neighboring universe is only 270,000 years old.

Yet this civilization, which has existed for over 60 million years, actually intends to destroy humanity and obtain Earth through the neutron bomb inside Maru-sako's body.

This inevitably raises questions about the Naga people's technological level.

However, the existence of Adam and Iwu also proves that the Naga people's technological level is not low.

Adam said he was the first dinosaur-man to successfully evolve through the Naga people.

This means that the Naga people possessed the technology to artificially evolve intelligent life.

The Naga people's claim to be gods of the universe is not an exaggeration, given their ability to artificially evolve intelligent life.

Moreover, Adam and Iwu do not look very old.

Whether in terms of appearance or mentality, he is not old.

Adam may be more mature, but Yiwu is not.

Shen Yun guessed that these two dinosaur-men probably hadn't been around for very long.

But the fact that the Naga people were able to artificially evolve intelligent beings like dinosaur-men in such a short time further demonstrates the advanced nature of their biotechnology.

Therefore, this is a contradiction.

The Naga people can artificially evolve intelligent life, but they need the neutron bomb inside Maru-sako to destroy humanity...

This gives people a sense of absurdity.

This sense of absurdity was amplified, especially after the Naga were destroyed by the neutron bomb and Ultraman Tiga's Zepellion Ray.

In short, it's outrageous.

Although the plot of this episode of Ultraman Tiga itself does not focus on the Naga people, the Naga people are just a tool to introduce the Dinosaur Man.

But this is reality.

They are now facing an invasion dominated by the Naga, and the dinosaurs are merely tools.

"The Naga people want to obtain Earth, which means that the Naga people need a suitable planet to live on..." Shen Yun pondered.

"Does this mean there's something wrong with the Naga's homeworld? Are the extraterrestrial spaceships just Naga immigration ships?"

"The Naga people were able to artificially evolve intelligent life, but they lacked the powerful weapons to destroy civilization..."

"It can't be that the Naga people only developed biotechnology and not weapons, can it?"

"Could it be that the Naga civilization experienced a cultural gap, leading to a regression in their technological level?"

"This is not impossible. And only a civilizational break can explain the current situation of the Naga people."

A break in civilization led to a technological gap, ultimately causing a significant decline in the overall technological level of the civilization.

Although some technology may remain, future generations will probably only know how to use it, not how to build it.

Some weapons and equipment will gradually age and break down with frequent use and the passage of time.

In this way, the Maru-sa-na-za left on Earth by the Naga people 60 million years ago can be considered a rare weapon for the Naga people today.

Although these were just Shen Yun's own guesses, he planned to try to test these Naga people.

If the Naga people are really as he suspected...

He definitely wanted to show the Naga people what "borrowing" meant.

Your technology to artificially evolve intelligent life is impressive, but it could be mine in the next second.

Bring it to me.

Shen Yun looked up at the GUTS team members who were interrogating Adam and Ima.

Adam has been awakened, but his hands are shackled to prevent him from suddenly attacking people.

The shackles on his hands were the same style as the ones Lucia had used before.

On the contrary, Yi Wu was freed and not restrained.

Zongfang sat in front of Adam and interrogated him.

TPC executives, including Megumi Kijima, Director Sawai, Director Yoshioka, and Staff Officer Nanbara, were also paying close attention to the interrogation of the dinosaur man.

"How much do you know about the Naga people?" Zongfang asked.

"Give up on that idea. I won't say anything. Just wait to be wiped out by the Naga," Adam sneered disdainfully.

"We are all born on Earth, so why do we have to kill each other?" Daigo asked, puzzled.

"The law of the jungle prevails; it's the unchanging law of Earth," Adam said calmly, glancing at Daigo.

Zongfang was also having a headache dealing with Adam, who was unyielding to both soft and hard approaches.

They don't have much time to waste on Adam.

"Director Sawai, I request to use the memory extraction device," Munakata said.

"Okay. Please find out information about the Naga people as soon as possible," Sawai said.

"No need, I'll speak for Adam," Yiwu stepped forward.

Adam turned to look at Yiwu in disbelief and demanded, "Yiwu! Do you know what you're doing?"

"I know." Iwu looked at Adam and said sadly, "Adam, the Naga people lied to us. They will never hand over the Earth to us dinosaur people."

"Imu, don't be fooled by humans! Humans are all smooth talkers, don't believe them!" Adam's tone softened considerably when he spoke to Imu, but his lizard-like vertical pupils still glared fiercely at Zongfang and the others.

"Then how do you explain why it started on its own even though we didn't activate Marupo Naiza II?" Ima asked.

"Since Maru-sako Naza was originally a dinosaur weapon modified by the Naga people, isn't it normal that they can control it?"

"What about Marupo Naiza No. 1? Why wasn't Marupo Naiza No. 1 activated?" Ima asked again.

"Because Marupo Neza-1 is still in hibernation, we were unable to activate it," Adam explained.

"Then tell me, why did the Naga people want you dinosaur people to activate the Maru-Ponaza-1?" Shen Yun walked over, looked at Adam, and questioned him.

"Of course, it's so that we dinosaur people can take back Earth with our own hands. That's why we dinosaur people are activating and controlling Maru-Bonaza," Adam said matter-of-factly.

"idiot!"

Shen Yun pointed at Adam's nose and cursed:

"The reason the Naga evolved you into dinosaur-like beings is because you are Earth creatures, naturally adapted to Earth's environment. But the Naga cannot; they cannot adapt to Earth's environment."

"So they made you evolve intelligence so that you could help them find Maru-sako on Earth."

"Furthermore, is your desire to reclaim Earth truly your own idea? Are you so sure this isn't an idea imposed on you by the Naga people?"

He's an expert at this; brainwashing, implanting false memories, reinforcing obsessions—these are all things he's done before.

Upon hearing this, Yi Wu turned pale, and an indescribable fear welled up in her heart.

"You're lying! The Naga people wouldn't do that! They promised us they would hand over Earth to us dinosaur people!" Adam's pupils shrank to slits. Although he said this, he was already wavering in his heart.

"You really believe in the law of the jungle? Aren't you dinosaur people weaker than the Naga people?" Shen Yun mocked.

"The Naga only need to wait for you to destroy Earth's ecosystem, then they can immediately take over and transform Earth into an environment suitable for their survival. As for the two of you, you won't survive the neutron bomb explosion either."

"Whatever the Naga people promised you, they are not obligated to fulfill it, because you two are already dead!"

"Even if you survive, what can two weaklings like you do? Can't the Naga people just go back on their word?"

"To put it bluntly, you two are just tools the Naga people use to activate Marubonaiza!"

"A tool that can be discarded at will once it has no use!"

Although dinosaurs were creatures from 65 million years ago, they were still Earth creatures and were naturally adapted to Earth's environment.

Not all aliens can adapt to Earth's environment.

For example, the later Desis aliens.

This alien would be unable to adapt to Earth's environment and would need to modify Earth's atmosphere in order for them to survive on Earth.

The same applies to the Naga people; the fundamental reason they did not enter Earth is that they were not adapted to Earth's current environment.

After the dinosaur people destroy the Earth's ecosystem, they will transform the Earth into an environment suitable for the Naga people to live in.

As for dinosaur people...

They are nothing more than tools created by the Naga people, to be used and then discarded.

"No! This can't be! You must be lying to me! I don't believe it! You must be lying to me! You must be lying to me!" Adam, pale-faced, suddenly stood up and shouted hoarsely.

"Whether I'm lying or not, don't you already know the answer in your heart?" Shen Yun poked Adam's chest and asked.

If he really didn't believe it, why would he act so agitated?

Adam sat down dejectedly, as if his faith had collapsed.

As the first dinosaur-human artificially evolved by the Naga, he was most deeply influenced by the Naga.

The members of the Victory Team exchanged glances and couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement.

Is this what a PhD student does with his empty talk?

It completely broke down a person's psychological defenses.

"Alright, ask whatever you want. They shouldn't be hiding anything from you." Shen Yun turned around, smiled slightly, and said.

"I understand." Zongfang nodded.

Looking at Shen Yun's kind smile, Xin Cheng whispered, "In the future, it's best not to make the Doctor angry."

"Yes, yes, it's a bit scary." The others nodded in agreement.

Having easily resolved the problem for the Victory Team, Shen Yun planned to leave.

He had only taken a couple of steps when Shen Yun suddenly slapped his forehead, went to the communication screen, and said, "Captain Kijima, could you please have someone bring over TPC's most advanced computer? I plan to compete with the Naga for control of this Maru-Bō-Nezha."

"Compete with the Naga for control of Marubonaiza? Is that even possible?" Sawai asked, somewhat surprised.

"If the Naga can remotely control Marupo Neza from space, it means that Marupo Neza has a control device inside that controls its actions. So we can also remotely seize control of Marupo Neza," Shen Yun said.

"Alright! Then I'll trouble you, Doctor." Sawai smiled.

Izumi immediately notified the TPC Logistics and Transportation Departments to transport TPC's highest-performance computers to the front lines.

After ending the call, Shen Yun suddenly turned around, looked at Adam and Yiwu, and asked:

"By the way, have you ever seen any dinosaur people other than yourselves?"

Adam has become withdrawn, and it was Yi Wu who answered Shen Yun's question.

She nodded and said, "Of course! Adam and I watched with our own eyes as the Naga people endowed them with intelligence, but they are still just children. They currently live on the spaceship that the Naga people gave to us dinosaur people."

Shen Yun nodded. It seemed these Naga people did have some brains.

They didn't just create Adam and Iwu, but an entire dinosaur-human race.

Only in this way can Adam and Iwu be made to willingly serve the Naga people.

The Naga people also have the potential to be capitalists.

He's good at making grand promises.

I'm afraid you won't listen, so I'll give you a wife first, then a bunch of kids, and then promise you a dream of reviving the dinosaur family.

Houses, wives, and children bound the dinosaur-men tightly, making them work for the Naga people.

Then the Naga people reaped the benefits.

Gee tut.

"Do you know what the Naga people look like?" Shen Yun asked again.

Iwu shook her head and said, "Neither Adam nor I have ever seen the Naga. They communicate with us through telepathy."

"I see..." Shen Yun nodded slightly.

The dinosaur people were truly pitiful.

Shen Yun did not participate in the subsequent interrogation. Instead, he took out the control device that he had confiscated from Adam and Yiwu and sat on the steps of the Dinosaur Biological Research Center to study it.

After Shen Yun left, Zong Fang eagerly asked, "How much do you know about the Naga people and Marubo Naiza?"

Without hesitation, Yiwu said, "The Nagas are omnipotent gods. They took us from Earth and endowed us with wisdom..."

Ima told Munakata everything she knew about the Naga people.

"That's all the information I know about the Naga. As for Maru-sako, I don't know much about him either."

Adam seemed to have recovered by this time. He adjusted his glasses and said:

"I know only a little more than Ima. However, I do know quite a bit about Marusako Naiza."

Then, Adam provided the Victory Team with information about the Naga people and Marubo Neza.

The more Adam trusted the Nagas before, the more he now hates them.

Shortly afterward, TPC's transport plane arrived at the scene, bringing with it a top-performance computer.

In this short time, Shen Yun figured out how the pendant-style control device controlled Marubo Naiza.

"Controlled by command waves?" Shen Yun asked thoughtfully, looking at the control device he had disassembled into parts.

This pendant-like control device has only its core component capable of emitting command waves to control Maru-sakatsu.

Shen Yun connected the control unit to the computer and used the control unit to send out command waves, thus infiltrating the control devices on both sides of the head of Marupo Naiza II.

Ye Rui came up behind Shen Yun and watched Shen Yun's actions intently.

Looking at the progress bar on the computer screen, Nori exclaimed in surprise, "We've already entered the interior of Maru-Sakunaza II so quickly?"

"Because Marubo Naiza is a product of the Naga people from 60 million years ago, its firewall is weaker than I imagined, and it has many vulnerabilities, so it's not difficult. If you were to operate it, it wouldn't be too slow either," Shen Yun said with a smile.

After entering the Marupo Naiza II control device, Shen Yun began to rewrite the underlying logic of its internal program, and at the same time, rewrote the control method of Marupo Naiza II.

Shen Yun's unbridled behavior also attracted the attention of the Naga people.

The Naga people used radio waves to compete with Shen Yun for control of Marupo Naiza II, and even planned to hack into Shen Yun's computer.

"Tsk, they're really arrogant." Shen Yun clicked his tongue and typed faster.

"Doctor, let me help you!" Ye Rui took out the PDI, connected it to the computer, and began to operate it.

As a computer genius specially recruited by TPC, Ye Rui's technical skills should not be underestimated.

With the assistance of Nori, the Naga people immediately fell into a disadvantageous position in the struggle for Marupo Naiza II.

"Me too! Me too!" Karen excitedly ran over to join in the fun.

She reached into Shen Yun's pocket and pulled out the PDI. Using the PDI, and with Shen Yun's computer as a springboard, she hacked into Marupo Naiza II.

With Karen's arrival, the Naga's defensive line collapsed instantly.

Shen Yun pressed his advantage and infiltrated the Naga people's spaceship.

"Not as good as the Salome aliens." After easily gaining access to the Naga spaceship using the terrifying computing power enhanced by Kallen, Shen Yun gave this assessment.

He had clashed with the Salome aliens before.

The defense systems on the Naga spaceships didn't even reach two-thirds of the Salome aliens' technological capabilities.

Shen Yun entered the Naga people's database and first browsed the technologies stored in it.

The Naga people's technology was mostly biochemical.

Among them, the most precious is the technology that can artificially evolve intelligent life.

"Give it to me."

Shen Yun directly copied a copy of the relevant information.

As for the remaining biotechnology, he copied down some technologies that he thought were useful.

Shen Yun then browsed through the Naga people's armory and history.

He was right; the history of the Naga people did indeed suffer a severe break.

Both history and technology have been disrupted.

The Naga were born on a planet called Dizonoa, which is extremely far from both the Milky Way and the solar system.

The environment in Dizonoa is much better than that on Earth, with a constant and suitable temperature and humidity.

Even cold-blooded animals can maintain agile thinking and action.

Just like Australopithecus, it evolved from apes.

The ancestors of the Naga evolved from lizard-like creatures into humans.

That's right, the Naga people are actually some kind of reptilian people.

Their appearance is roughly the same as that of dinosaur people.

Although dinosaurs were reptiles, they were not closely related to lizards; they were simply both reptiles.

These Nagas, like humans, do not possess the ability to grow to enormous sizes.

Although they are physically strong, they are no match for their enemies.

As a result, technology became the mainstream.

However, lizards have small brains, and this is also due to the fact that the environment has not changed much.

It took the Naga people nearly ten million years to evolve from their ancestral Naga people to the primitive era.

After that, it only took the Naga people a little over five million years to go from primitive times to a slave society.

It took the Naga people over 100,000 years to transition from slavery to modern society.

As for why, it can only be said that lizards don't have much emotion, coupled with their extremely ferocious nature.

After entering a slave society, the Naga people remained stagnant in that society for many years.

If it weren't for the Naga people, who seemed to be chosen by heaven, overthrowing slavery, the Naga people would probably have remained stagnant in a slave society for many more years.

Even after the Naga people entered modern society, they still retained the bad habits from the period of slavery.

When the Naga people were able to conduct long-distance interstellar travel, slavery was restored.

However, this time, it wasn't the lizardmen they were enslaving, but humanoid life forms from other planets.

This can be seen from the Naga people's condescending attitude from the beginning.

Because of the Naga people's brutal nature, the cosmic people, unable to bear the oppression, began to rebel against the Naga people.

This is why the Naga people left two Marubo Neza bodies on Earth.

Finally, the Naga rule was overthrown, and they were driven back to their homeworld by the Interstellar Alliance.

Although the Naga people had advanced technology, they could not grow to enormous sizes because their bodies were too fragile.

Compared to aliens who can grow to enormous sizes and use special abilities, the Naga are at a disadvantage.

In the end, the Naga people won a Pyrrhic victory, but only one in ten of them survived.

Most of the cities on the Naga homeworld were destroyed by war.

The Naga civilization and science and technology experienced their first disruption here.

They have regressed from an interstellar civilization to a pre-nuclear civilization.

The Naga people retreated to their home planet to recuperate.

After more than a hundred years of recuperation, the Naga people have become prosperous again.

At this point, the Naga people encountered a problem.

That is, their regime split, and it split into more than a dozen regimes of varying sizes.

Moreover, these dozen or so regimes all claimed to be legitimate.

Thus, the Naga people began a civil war.

This civil war lasted a long time, and countless Naga people died.

Finally, the Naga homeworld's external environment was completely destroyed by the civil war, and the surface was filled with various deadly radiations.

Left with no other choice, most of the Naga people had to live underground.

The history of the Naga people entered the underground era.

During this period, the Naga people lacked various resources, so they developed extremely advanced biotechnology to maintain their population and normal life.

After the radiation half-life on the Earth's surface ended, the Naga returned to the surface from underground.

After that, the Naga people entered a wasteland era that lasted for millions of years, where barbarism and civilization coexisted.

The upper class will always be the upper class; they control all resources and technology.

The Naga people at the bottom can only be exploited by those at the top.

It's less a wasteland and more a slave society with a stricter hierarchy and more stable class system.

I highly recommend "Tokusatsu: Starting with Ultraman Tiga"! Get straight to the exciting parts.
