to write the three-body series after reading, it is a matter of fear . In addition to science fiction, Liu Cixin can always bring readers deep thinking and sadness. It seems that in memory, his works are not optimistic.
I almost missed "Three-Body Problem". I saw the serialization of "Sci-Fi World" many years ago. I was too young, and I took a detour when I saw such a heavy background as wenge. It was not until I learned that the "Three-Body Problem" series won the Nobel Prize for Literature in the science fiction world, the Hugo Award, that I read it. One weekend, I didn't think about tea and rice, and it was done in one go.

　　Human nature can't help but test
Ye Wenjie , the daughter of a physics professor at Tsinghua University. Without Wenge, she would probably grow up to be an excellent astrophysicist and live a peaceful life with her husband and daughter. In Wenge, she witnessed her father being beaten with a belt and tragically died on the stage. Since then, she has deeply hidden her disappointment, hatred and love for human beings in the depths of her heart. Until one day, as an astrophysicist, she discovered the existence of an extraterrestrial "Trisolaran civilization". Her inner appeal was awakened, and she worshipped the "Three-Body Civilization" 400 light-years away as if she had discovered a miracle, which was much higher than human civilization. unresolved human problem".
She sent the precise location of the Earth to the "Trisolaran" so that the "Trisolaran" could take over the Earth. The "Three-Body Civilization" exists in a galaxy with three stars in a harsh environment. The civilization may be destroyed at any time due to the superposition of two of the stars. The "Eternal Era" of the earth is simply a fairyland for them.
In order to keep this secret, she did not hesitate to kill the benefactor who rescued her from prison and her husband at that time. Years later, her daughter, a physicist, also discovered that the development of geophysics has long been locked by the "Trisolaran civilization" (in case the level of human science and technology catches up with the "Trisolaran civilization" 400 years later, which will lead to the occupation of the earth. plan failed), human beings will no longer be able to see the truth of basic science, and they will commit suicide and die of depression.
Ye Wenjie is not alone. She established the Earth's "Three-Body Organization". Through the "Three-Body Problem" game, she has recruited high-level talents all over the world like preaching, many even nobles.
The book does not elaborate on the reasons why the other members who participated in the "Three-Body Organization" of the earth hope that human beings will be destroyed, but I think they are either disappointed because they have seen too much of the dark side of human nature, or they realize that human beings are so low. Ugly and perish is a matter of time, and there is no point in fighting.
I can't understand Ye Wenjie's mood. How much hatred and disappointment must I have to sacrifice her husband, her daughter, and herself to "complete" another civilization in such a cruel and decisive way?
Ye Wenjie was no longer that Ye Wenjie on the day her father died tragically.
Is Ye Wenjie a bad person?
Ye Wenjie accidentally revealed some information about the axioms of the universe to the later "Wallfacer" Luo Ji.
Is the "Three-Body Problem" civilization worth believing in? Should one be blindly believed just because they are advanced? Is the human heart so easily conquered?
The purpose of the "Three-Body Problem" civilization coming to Earth is to survive and to kill.

Put the ants to death and the ants will not be born after
the primitive desire to survive, and humans began to use the next 400 years to save themselves. With the only advantage of human beings over Trisolarans - the opaque content of thinking, and the content of thinking cannot be observed by the "Sophon" sent by the Trisolaran to Earth, human beings launched the "Face the Wall" plan.
"Wallfacer" has the right to call on a large number of resources around the world, but only he himself knows the real plan he is thinking about to save mankind, and he can't reveal even one or two things to the people closest to him. His words and actions must be deceptive and confusing, in order to deceive the "Sophon" sent by the "Three-Body Civilization" and the "Wallbreaker" who are also human beings.
The fate of human civilization rests in the hands of these few people. The "Wallfacer" will face the life and death of the entire human race by one person, and face the vast space, even if he is hoarse, he will not get the slightest echo, and he is as concerned about his own destiny as an ant.
The only Wallfacer who has not been broken through is a Ph.D. in sociology named Luo Ji who wanted to create a "cosmology of the universe" and who once fell in love with the characters in his novels.
He discovered the axioms of the sociology of the universe - the law of the dark forest. For any civilization, survival is the most important thing, and the energy of the universe is limited. Before it is impossible to judge whether another civilization is a benign civilization or a malicious civilization, the best way is to destroy this civilization. This is like a hunter hunting in a dark forest, even if a gentle little white rabbit suddenly runs out, you as a hunter will not hesitate to raise a gun to kill this animal if you can't see what kind of animal it is. White Rabbit.
The "Three-Body Civilization" has long understood this axiom.
The sadness of ants is arrogance.
Before the arrival of the three-body droplet type advance detector, human civilization once flourished. 2,000 1/4 light-speed starships, electromagnetic kinetic energy cannons, high-energy particle beams and other weapons gave humans enough confidence to think that this small structure is simple. The detectors of the three-body civilization are flying in to seek peace, and the "Three-Body Civilization" will no longer dare to make mistakes, and will coexist peacefully with mankind. Human beings even began to use their own compassion to imagine how to help the "three-body civilization" continue their civilization and how to share the earth.
The water droplets arrived as scheduled, and it only took 20 minutes to destroy most of the starships with the most primitive attack method - impact. Only two of them obeyed Ding Yi before (the first physicist to touch the water droplets, and later because of the water droplets) Crash into the capture bin and die) suggested that the starship in the 1/4 light speed preparation type escaped and escaped into the vast space. The earth has lost its armor, and mankind has become a flock of lambs to be slaughtered.
When the water droplets were about to sweep the earth, Luo Ji and the Trisolaran civilization had a final game in front of Ye Wenjie's tomb. He successfully established the solar nuclear bomb chain. Once triggered, the location of the parent star of the Trisolaran civilization would be exposed, and the Trisolaran civilization would be destroyed by a higher civilization. The earth is also doomed, the two planets are very close, and Ye Wenjie had previously revealed the exact location of the earth to the Three-Body Problem. The Trisolarans stopped their attack, Luo Ji controlled the nuclear bomb switch from then on, and the era of deterrence began.
The solar nuclear bomb chain became the sword of Damocles hanging over the Three-Body Problem and the Earth Civilization, and Luo Ji became the swordsman. Human civilization and Trisolaran civilization have entered a 62-year game state.
If one day, ants begin to threaten the survival of human beings, will you respect their right to live, their splendid ant tribe civilization?

The Virgin does not understand love
. Cheng Xin is regarded as the Virgin because of a picture of holding a child, because of the beautiful ideal of two civilizations that she has always adhered to to grow together. She is kind to people, polite and friendly to everyone, and because of this, she has gained the secret love and love of Yun Tianming, a shy college classmate of hers.
Yun Tianming's life was hanging by a thread because of cancer. Cheng Xin found him and hoped that Yun Tianming would allow Cheng Xin's project team to send his undead brain into space for the Trisolaran. Yun Tianming was afraid of the coldness of the universe and the coldness of the trisolaran, but he couldn't bear the request of his beloved girl and agreed. After Yun Tianming's brain was sent into space, Cheng Xin realized that the brain is not dead, what if the Trisolaran stimulated the nerves of Yun Tianming's brain, what would he do, and what would he do if the Trisolaran tortured him.
Because of the glorious image of the Virgin, Cheng Xin was chosen as Luo Ji's second swordsman. Then, because of her loving heart, she still refused to put down the sword of Damocles even though the earth had received the warning of the three-body attack, which almost led to the demise of mankind.
At the critical moment, several starships that had escaped in the depths of space sent the location of the Trisolaran mother star. The Trisolaran stopped attacking the Earth, fled to outer space, and the Trisolaran parent star was destroyed.
The next goal of the god-level civilization is the earth. According to Yun Tianming's information that the earth could be prevented from being destroyed by advanced civilization, the earth began to build a light-speed spacecraft. In order to save the life of a team member, Cheng Xin stopped the research and development of the light-speed spacecraft led by Vader.
The god-level civilization sent a second photo album, which made the entire solar system two-dimensional, like Van Gogh's "Starry Night". Only Cheng Xin and her assistant were able to escape and take the only light-speed spacecraft that Vader secretly successfully developed after the light-speed spacecraft development plan was stopped. If the light-speed spacecraft research and development plan is not stopped, more humans will have the opportunity to escape from the two-dimensional solar system by light-speed spacecraft.
If the universe wants to return to the pastoral era, it needs to restart. Cheng Xin hid the 5 kilograms of matter in the universe that Yun Tianming built for her as a souvenir. Cosmic matter is no longer conserved and cannot be exploded back to pastoral times again. Death is immortal.
If Americans admire individual heroism, then Liu Cixin may be advocating individual idiocy.
The little love between people, Notre Dame Cheng does not understand, and imposes on others what she does not want.
The great love that is about the rise and fall of life and death, Madam Cheng did not understand. She used the "kindness" to temporarily save a small part of life and to satisfy her own selfish desires, which led to the demise of the entire solar system and even the entire universe. She thinks this is love, this weakness and lust is love.
Love, what exactly is love? Sometimes, perhaps only those who are strong and resolute like Xiang Wei De and Luo Ji, who sacrifice small righteousness for the great righteousness, and even unscrupulousness, can understand what love is.
Misunderstood love can only bring destruction.

The postscript
"Three-Body Problem" series explores human nature and philosophical thinking, and it is more than just a few bits and pieces. For example, in the game of starships in the depths of the universe, who will kill the surviving companions in another starship first to obtain resources, so that human civilization can survive for a longer time; such as the tragic snatch of spaceships when the earthlings escape from the earth when the Three-Body Problem comes; such as Cannibalism during the "big trough", and so on.
"Give time to civilization, not time to civilization."
Of course I believe that the earth at that time may still have the existence of gentlemen like when the Titanic sank, those gentlemen who believe that God will redeem them.
Or, on the earth at that time, people have clearly seen that God does not exist. God is the one who wants to kill you. Will your beliefs collapse, and will the instinct to survive overcome all so-called beliefs?
There are two scenes that always come up in my mind. One is the water droplets created by the strong interaction force, which smashes the splendid science and technology of mankind into fireworks in the depths of the galaxy in the most primitive way of impact attack; the other is the two-dimensionalization of the solar system. The fear in the eyes of human beings, Van Gogh's "Starry Night", and the static, lifeless human civilization that was once brilliant but turned into oil paintings.
It doesn't matter whether what The Three-Body Problem describes is the truth, or a part of the truth.
I am very willing, with the greatest piety, to earnestly walk through the life of the ants.
