"Three-body I" tells the reason why the three-body man invaded the earth and the process in which this fact was discovered. Due to the despair of human society at that time, Ye Wenjie amplified gravitational waves through the sun and sent earth information to the universe in an attempt to let the advanced civilization in the universe come to the earth and change the earth. After the first issue, I got a response from a kind three-body world, telling me not to respond again to avoid the destruction of earth civilization. Ye, who was desperate for the status quo at that time, made a second response without hesitation, which led to the exposure of the coordinates of the earth, and the three-body people began to send a fleet to the earth. A group of traitors also appeared on the earth to form a three-body organization, clearing the way for the arrival of the three-body people.
The galaxy where the three-body world is located has three suns, and three-body life exists on the only planet in the galaxy. Because the galaxy with three stars is extremely unstable, the three-person living environment is very bad, and it can only reproduce normally in the right time, and can only be dehydrated at other times. Another feature of Santi people is that they have no communication organs and transparent thinking, so even if their first Naoko can monitor all human behaviors and prevent the development of human physics, they can't see through human thinking.
"Three-body ⅱ" tells the story of human efforts to resist the invasion of three-body, and reveals the law of cosmic sociology-the law of dark forest. In view of the fact that the three-body people can't see through human thinking, human beings started the plan of facing the wall and selected four facing the wall. The duty of these four people is to think about the countermeasures of three-body invasion and have the supreme authority to mobilize the earth's resources. Luo Ji, who studied the sociology of the universe, was the only one who was forced to become a side wall, but he was also the only one who successfully prevented three people from invading the earth, because he knew the laws of the dark forest. This theory has two premises: first, survival is the primary goal of civilization; Second, civilization continues to grow and develop, but the total amount of matter in the universe remains unchanged. Then, under the action of technological explosion (technology may increase explosively at a certain moment) and chain of suspicion (civilizations don't know whether each other is good or bad), such a picture of cosmic civilization will be inferred-
And human beings, like a naive child entering the society, are eager to prove their existence to other civilizations.
"Three-body Ⅲ" tells the story of Luo Ji as a sword-bearer who effectively deterred the original three-body world. After Cheng Xin became a sword bearer, this matter was completely solved, and the three-body people invaded the earth again. However, the "gravity" broadcast exposed the position of the three-body and evacuated the three-body people. The exposure of the three-body world means the exposure of the solar system. Humans began to build bunkers in the galaxy, hoping to escape the attacks of other civilizations. However, because other civilizations have reduced the dimensions of the solar system, the bunker plan cannot effectively protect human beings. In the end, only Cheng Xin and his friends escaped from the solar system in the only light-speed spaceship. After that, Cheng Xin and Guan Yifan took the "gravity" to enter the small universe to avoid the collapse of the universe, and then entered the new universe after the new big bang. However, due to the existence of a large number of small universes, after the mass of the big universe is lost, it will become closed and open, expand forever, die in the expansion, and all life and memories will die. After receiving the broadcast of the return movement, Cheng Xin and Guan Yifan decided to return to quality, leaving only an ecological ball.
Will you support it when you learn that mankind is about to become extinct and only a part of it can be transported and fled with the earth civilization? When I first thought about this problem, I instinctively felt that I had to support it. It is always good for someone to survive, and civilization can be passed down. But after reading this book, I know that behind such a choice, what will be shaken is the values formed since the birth of human civilization-equality. Run away? Sure, but who can escape? As Luo Ji said-
So no ruler in the book dares to agree with this theory, and even the general public opposes it-everyone is equal, why must someone stay? The entry of the wandering earth into the dungeon was decided by lottery. In fact, this way of decision can't stand the test of human nature in the face of real extinction, and conflicts and even wars will definitely break out before the real escape. That's why people like Zhang Beihai are needed in the book to hide their firm escapism, run away in a warship without saying a word, and kidnap several ships to chase him.
Of course, I am still an escapist. I have been to this world and experienced this world, and I think this is enough. Death is not really terrible to me. It's good to be with my family before I die, but I don't want human civilization to leave nothing behind. As for who should flee, I thought it would be a good choice to let outstanding people in all fields flee and leave the best genes to mankind. But when I think about it carefully, it seems that the general public is the greatest force to promote the development of civilization, and it is actually a good idea to draw lots to decide, but it is also a good choice to take who is on board like Zhang Beihai. After all, if we really choose, human beings will no longer be equal.
"Give civilization years", that is, extend the survival time of earth civilization;
"Give civilization to the years", develop splendid civilization in the limited years, and make the years more exciting.
I agree with "give civilization to time", but I also think there is nothing wrong with "give civilization to time", because I said earlier that I am an escapist, so that I have been struggling with this sentence and feel that I am a contradiction. Later, I read the plot of this sentence repeatedly and arranged it as follows:
Then I understood that, in fact, there was nothing to escape from reality for human beings who were facing great changes at that time. The continuation of human civilization was to gather all forces to resist the attack of the three-person group. This is actually just a kind of lingering, so it is said to be "giving civilization years", and nothing is contrary to escaping from reality. Human reflection should "hand over civilization to time", which means that since the threesome will come sooner or later, human civilization will face life and death sooner or later. So in the limited years, why didn't mankind choose to live well and dedicate this splendid civilization?
"Give civilization to time, not civilization to time" comes from Pascal: Give life to time, not life to time. The original text is easy to understand. Let life shine in a limited time instead of wasting it. The second half of the sentence also reminds me of another sentence: did you really live for a year, or did you live for a day and repeat it 364 times?
So give time civilization and life.
Cheng Xin's character is very controversial. Even in the comments, users who read WeChat have changed from discussion to personal attacks. The focus of discussion is mostly Cheng Xin's decision on the future of human civilization. Before talking about this person, let's talk about her experience in the book:
In the fourth year of the crisis era, Cheng Xin convinced Yun Tian Ming to dedicate his brain to space.
6 1 Cheng Xin agrees to run for the sword bearer in the deterrent era.
In the era of deterrence in 1962, Cheng Xin was chosen as the sword bearer. Five minutes later, the three-body world launched an attack on the earth. At the critical moment, she threw away the control switch that could deter the trio.
In the seventh year of the broadcasting era, I met the cloud again, and got three fairy tales hiding ways to protect the earth civilization from attacks. After solving it, I know two key clues: curvature-driven light-speed spacecraft and low-speed black holes;
In the eighth year of the broadcasting era, Cheng Xin reached an agreement with Vader to hand over his enterprise and other resources to Vader to study the light speed spacecraft. However, when the career may endanger human life, Cheng Xin needs to be awakened to make a final decision. Then the heart goes into hibernation.
1 1 in the bunker era, Vader studied the light-speed spacecraft and was discovered by the solar system Federation. He planned to gain independence around the Star City by force and continue his research. Cheng Xin woke up and demanded to suspend all preparations for war and give up resistance. Later, Vader was executed.
In the bunker era, the solar system suffered dimensionality reduction in 67, and Cheng Xin and AA left the solar system in the only light-speed spacecraft.
Cheng Xin's general course is above, and most of his rest time is spent in hibernation.
I hate Cheng Xin very much. I roll my eyes while reading. There are only two reasons why I hate her: ① Germany is unworthy; ② Never reflect and grow.
The first one is very simple. A person should do something in any position, and he can be innocent by saying that he represents all mankind. Not many people have made the right decision. When a person appears as a leader, he or she can't think and make decisions according to the public's thinking, because the public never makes rational thinking. Luo Ji was "elected" as a true friend and sword bearer. Reality didn't even give him a chance to say no. He is the one who is really pushed away by history, but what he has done from beginning to end is worthy of human beings.
The second is about her stopping Vader. If she is young and ignorant as a sword bearer (what I want to vomit here is that many people are saying that she is just a simple little girl pushed forward by history, I will accept it. What is she still simple about in her thirties? ), after the termination of the deterrence plan, Naoko's actions on the earth's human beings (forcibly moving to Australia in an attempt to make human beings eat the same kind) failed to make her wake up a little and realize that she was not suitable to be the decision-maker who decided human life and death? Or make her realize that she can't be judged by her love for mankind in the future? On the matter of stopping Vader, some people say that Cheng Xin made the best choice for mankind at that time and avoided a lot of casualties. I just want to say that we haven't called yet. Why do you know there will be a lot of casualties? Vader said he would show his weapons and strategy to the Solar System Alliance. If Cheng Xin doesn't stop it, will the Federation risk a large number of casualties to wage war? By this time, Cheng Xin still doesn't understand the truth of restriction and deterrence. He only knows that "war will kill people, you can't start a war". Alas, the more I think about it, the more angry I get. Human civilization has continued from one era to another, and only Cheng Xin has been living in his own world.
Readers are keen to discuss whether Cheng Xin is right or wrong. I read a lot of comments. Most people who say that Cheng Xin is not wrong are based on two points: ① Cheng Xin was elected by all mankind, and her decision represents the decision of all mankind. She made a mistake. Why was she sprayed? (2) You people who accuse Cheng Xin are all from the perspective of God, and you will only spray her like this until you know the final outcome. Doing so is no different from those who have no brains to judge in the book.
I will haha after reading it. Cheng Xin obviously felt that he could spread his love to the whole universe, and then he took part in the sword dance. Moreover, the public at that time, including Cheng Xin himself, did not really understand the laws of the dark forest (it can be seen that after Luo Ji left office, human beings still demanded that he be tried for being destroyed by a certain star). These people have no deterrent effect on the three-body world, because they just want to use love to generate electricity, love the earth and love three-body peace. As Sandy predicted, if she ran, she would be elected, which actually mocked the blindness of the democratic electoral system. People like her are very popular in daily life, but she is really unfit to be a decision maker. And spray her not because she represents all mankind, but because she does not deserve it. I also think Monday morning quarterback is amazing from God's point of view. To judge a person is to look at it in the light of characters experience. What's the point of judging and analyzing a person regardless of the trend of events? Don't look at the final result and say that Cheng Xin's decision is not wrong but fair?
This is the first science fiction novel I read, and the overall feeling is very shocking. In particular, the concepts of dark forest law, dimensionality reduction and the return of the universe amazed me, which also drove me to read more science fiction works and understand the possibility of the existence of the universe. Of course, there are some theoretical things in the book because I am too lazy to delve into the principle. I will find time to brush it and get to know it later.
Thanks to Liu for writing such a trisomy, it's really great!
