About This Novel
This book is a short science fiction novel published by Liu Cixin (Liu), the first person in Chinese science fiction. In December 2014, it was selected for publication in "Time Migration" (a collection of Liu Cixin's short science fiction stories). "Child, history and life are not the simple conquests and developments you always thought. There are many things that are inexplicable and unknown, many things that need to be understood after maturity." "Yes," Amy said, "Think about it, if Zheng He had followed the original plan and sailed as far as Returning to the coast of Somalia, what will happen next? Maybe a European fleet will be the first to sail around the Cape of Good Hope, and maybe another European fleet will discover America! "Oh, history, the fate of the same people is very similar." "So, dad," the son woke up from his deep thoughts and pointed at Amy, "is she your new world?" Amy and I looked at each other and smiled, and neither of us denied this. Behind us, the lights of Manhattan became more brilliant, and the water of New York Harbor became a jumping sea of light. It was another dreamy night in the New World.

Absolutely amazing!
History is a joke sometimes.
Finished reading
This possibility must have been imagined by many people. If China did not have that hundred years of suffering, it would have always been a kingdom of heaven. It's a pity that the hypothesis of relying on Zheng He to conquer Western European countries cannot be substituted. Zheng He was not a military attache, but a diplomat.
What a wonderful idea. There are infinite possibilities in parallel universes, and anyone's decision may change the direction of history.
History is really amazing, if it was not the West that discovered the New World but Zheng He
It's pretty good, but there are occasional typos and some short
This is probably not the whole book. There will probably be a follow-up. I'm looking forward to it.
Okay, okay, it's really science fiction. I hope we can do it one day (･∀･)
It's amazing, it's really amazing
Perhaps, this novel is a new beginning for us
Okay!~~~~~~~~~~~~~Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
