"Prometheus" Secret Archives: Amazing technology and civilization

As we all know, in the movie "Prometheus", there is a race that created "humans" and "aliens", known as "Engineers". As early as 4 billion years ago, they had the technology of intergalactic navigation. As for "Prometheus" being the prequel to "Alien", many fans of the series are curious about what amazing civilization and high technology are in the film? Today, I'll take stock.

1. Armor

An Engineer's armor has a variety of functions. Being both armors, but also being able to regulate a small area of the environment, and also interaction. After a thousand years, there still appears to be no corrosion and deterioration. Thus, this armor is presumably made of organic material with the ability of self-recovery.

In the movie upon being awakened, the engineer casually sends people flying with a wave of the hand and can ignore human bullets. In the comics, it is even easier tearing apart aliens by hand.

But the biggest difference between engineers and humans wearing armor is that the armor not only wears on them, but also grows on them and becomes one with them. In the neck and forearms, there are obvious signs of fusion.

Armor is also divided into inner suit and exo-suit.

2. Cryo Pod

The engineers' Cryo Pod can remain dormant for more than two thousand years with very low energy consumption. And in the movie setting, the Cryo Pod on the Prometheus is only a few hundred years at most.

In addition to this, the engineers who are awakened in the Cryo Pod are able to quickly regain their wakefulness and enter into combat.

3. Holography

The engineers' hologram is almost no dead angle in all directions, with no spatial limitation, allowing a complete record of what happens over a period of time, and presenting it in 3D.

This hologram, not only an optical application, can even directly interact with the human body to produce certain senses with a very strong immersion.

Unlike human storage technology, the engineer race does not record an image and then replay it, but instead recreates it.

4. Spaceflight

4 billion years ago, the engineer race had the ability to navigate across galaxies.

5. Flying Saucer

The dish-shaped spaceship, an earlier flight vehicle for the engineers, has the ability to navigate across galaxies and visit Earth from other galaxies without pressure.

6. The Juggernaut

The engineers' more mainstream small spacecraft can carry out FTL flight. The hull hardness is far stronger than human metal. After it is impacted by the Prometheus, the hull did not appear to show devastating damage. In near-earth flight, the spaceship can suspend without using its engines.

The interior of the spaceship has many biological features, not exactly mechanical, and is the product of some kind of combination with an organism. The spaceship can also be loaded with biochemical weapons, such as Black Goo containers or alien eggs, with special devices to maintain the stability of biochemical weapons.

7. Driving System

Giger's design 40 years ago still looks very sci-fi now.

This seat also doubles as a navigation system, when activated, provides a 3D projection of the galaxy, and can be scaled down or up regardless of scale limitation. Apparently, the vast majority of the galaxies' data has been recorded in the engineers' database.

8. Voice Control Technology

The spaceship's operating console incorporates a biosensing system that likely does not relyon electrical signals to transmit instructions, but rather biological signals that convey further instructions to the spaceship.

Imagine a scene where engineers are training to pilot a spacecraft, it could be like a concert.The reason for the use of music is most likely due to the biological nature of the spaceship, with which the engineers' language cannot be communicated, but music is the universal language.

9. Weapons

In the movie, we have not seen the engineers' military power, but in the comics, we have seen the weapons of the engineers powerful enough to make aliens and humans turn to dust. But it is also enough to prove that the engineers have mastered the ability to use energy weapons.

10. Gene Technology

The most amazing thing about the engineers is their "genetic engineering technology". They travel between the stars of the universe and create different beings, and humans are one of the products of their genetic engineering. They are "gods" to the civilizations they have created.

Although the Black Goo is not necessarily created by the engineers, but in any case, the engineers to some extents have mastered the technology to control the Black Goo, and can use it to create beings, but also to destroy the world.

11. Architecture

The engineers' architectural style, with strong religious overtones, is both austere and sci-fi, with a bland-looking surface and high-tech spaceships hidden underground. There is a large parking apron right in the middle of the ceremonial plaza.

The interior of the building shows the different cultural concepts of the engineer race. There are not too many seemingly high-tech things, but hidden mysteries and surprises everywhere.

12. Huge Head Statues

In most of the scenes where engineers appear, we are able to see huge head statues, which according to Dr. Shaw's speculation, are probably the heads of the earliest six elders of the engineer civilization.

13. Language

The engineer race has their own language and writing, and their voices are lower than those of humans. David reversely deciphered the language of engineers by studying the language and writing of different civilizations of ancient humans. This is because the language of ancient humans evolved based on the language taught to humans by engineers.
