Why is there a snack called dried earthworms in the movie "The Wandering Earth"?

"The Wandering Earth", which was released on the first day of the first lunar month, can be said to be a milestone in Chinese science fiction movies. Whether it is the excitement of the script or the compactness of the plot, it can be said to be very good, not inferior to Hollywood blockbusters.

The origin of the dried earthworms and Moss in "The Wandering Earth", whether in terms of box office or foreign reviews, this movie also pushed Chinese science fiction to a new climax.

While watching this movie, the editor kept thinking about what the recurring characters "earthworm" and "Moss" are in the play.

1. Dried earthworms In the drama, Han Duoduo, a foodie, first wanted to eat dumplings before leaving the city, and then he was thinking about "dried earthworms with durian flavor".

When Liu Qi (who had a household registration after opening the document) and Han Duoduo were arrested for illegal driving, Lao Han wanted to keep the two brothers out, so he gave "aged dried earthworms" as a gift to the police officer at the detention center to help them get along.

Why do people 40 or 50 years later regard dried earthworms as treasures?

Not only is it paired with durian, but it also has collectible value?

In fact, this point can actually refer to the cockroach delicacies in "Snowpiercer".

Because in that general context, the ground was frozen, people were living underground, food sources were very scarce, and protein, the element most needed by the human body, was even more difficult to ingest.

Therefore, earthworms are particularly valuable because they are rich in protein and other nutrients. In addition to being made into various snacks and medicinal purposes, they also have good collection value.

2. The name of the main control computer connected to the earth in the super space station in the Moss drama is Moss. Its English name is MOSS, and the Chinese translation of MOSS is moss.

Moss is a creature that is distributed all over the world, and its vitality is extremely tenacious. This meaning matches the name quite well.

MOSS is actually a tribute to the artificial intelligence HAL9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey. In fact, people of that era had already imagined artificial intelligence.

At the end of the movie, MOSS is unable to prevent its own destruction. When it is about to explode, it raises its own question as an artificial intelligence: "It is indeed a luxury for humans to remain sane forever."

Perhaps artificial intelligence will surpass humans in all aspects of its capabilities, but because of its lack of emotions, artificial intelligence cannot understand everything humans do under special circumstances, and it will ultimately be unable to replace humans.
