About This Novel

The magnificent life of 5 billion years has become a fleeting dream, and the sun is dead. Fortunately, there are still people alive. The earth sailed out of the orbit of Pluto, sailed out of the solar system, and continued its lonely voyage in the cold and vast outer space. The Earth reaches Proxima Centauri after 2,400 years of navigation. In another 100 years, it will dock into the orbit of this star and become one of its satellites.

First of all, I admire Liu Cixin's imagination. Then I was very concerned about what was said in the book. When it was discovered that the sun was about to undergo a hydrogen flash, people discovered that religion was bullshit and that God could not save mankind at all. I have always believed that science is used to explain the world, and religion is used to explain people's hearts. In this book, science guarantees the survival of human beings, but after long-term space travel, will human nature change? Can human beings after the change still be called human beings? During the journey, he was greedy, angry and murderous, wondering whether war would also destroy mankind? If we choose to live and die with the sun, and live a few centuries of happiness and beauty before the hydrogen flash, will our mind be at peace and our soul be saved during this period? I am neither a theist nor an atheist, I am somewhere in between. Looking at the world from a religious perspective and looking at the world from a scientific perspective can both provide reasonable explanations, and it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong. Maybe as written in this book, there does exist a creator who created this world with his huge and perverted mind. The truth of the world is not something we can easily pry into?

Very well written! It's just that if the earth stops moving, it will be catastrophic. It's not that simple. It may lead to the instant extinction of all life on the earth! All the atmosphere, rivers, and seawater will undergo incredible changes because there is no gravity! ...Etc...

I read this book in Science Fiction World magazine when I was a kid. At that time, I thought it was nothing but a grand scene. Now that I think about it, I still have a few questions! 1 The article describes the use of the ultimate weapon "antimatter" when clearing asteroids, and current theory supports that antimatter is much more efficient than plasma! 2 The emergence of rebellion was not realistic in that era. You can refer to North Korea today. In that environment, the second kind of thinking cannot exist at all!

What's wrong with the Chinese people now? Have they lost their self-confidence?

When Wolf Warrior 2 came out last year, patriotism instantly became a despised character, as if Chinese people should kneel down. When The Wandering Earth came out this year, we couldn't even applaud ourselves. We had to kneel down and accept the cultural output of the foreign film industry. This kind of people, these people, you pick up the bowl to eat and then curse when you put the bowl down. In reality, you must be such a coward.

In the universe, the Trisolaran fleet encountered the Earth fleet.

The Trisolaran Fleet met the Earth Fleet, and the Trisolaran Fleet asked: "Where are you going?"; The Earth Fleet: "Where are you from? Where are you going?" The Trisolaran Fleet: "The Three Body Fleet is too bad, we plan to go to the Earth to take refuge." The Earth Fleet: "The Earth is going to be over, and we plan to go to the Trisolaran Islands to take refuge." The Earth Fleet: "My day is over." The Trisolaran Fleet: "Jing, it's over."

Hehe, scumbag.

When the earth wandered, it didn't even take the moon with it. A partner of billions of years, don't let it go if you don't want it. As the saying goes: The earth and the moon are originally birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes.

They are not desperate, they should be sad!

The protagonist's father said "hope", which I think is a "very few" thing in The Wandering Earth. The coalition government is the most sane person wandering the earth. They firmly believe in scientific judgment and believe that the sun will flash helium. They must have hope and have been working hard for human civilization and the earth. But they are the only ones who have hope. Efforts were not rewarded. Everyone in the coalition government did not die in the disaster of the voyage, but died in the hands of the people they protected. They died in the hands of violent, crazy and desperate people. Mankind's sanity during this long and desperate journey is a luxury. The goal of the coalition government is very clear, to wander the earth to a new home, so even if they surrender and die, they have no intention of dying with the earth. Because the coalition government knows that humans will understand them, and humans will eventually see the truth and embark on their wandering journey again, although these people will not have hope. The coalition government never despairs, because they know that they are right. Even when they die, they still have hope, and the world will remember it. But they must be sad because humans failed to understand them and believe them. They died generously despite being spurned by others. They are the real heroes! 😊

i watched the movie

This is really good to watch, but when I went to the movies, I saw a lot of different movies, but I saw China's own science fiction movies. Although I was not confident, I still insisted on buying it. Before I bought the ticket, I felt that it didn't matter! I have to support him, and now after watching it, I found that he is really perfect, there are several clips. It makes me burst into tears. This is the first step taken by junior high school. I believe that sci-fi movies in junior high school will get better and better. Come on! China! !

Earth's escape

More than three centuries ago, astrophysicists discovered that the rate of conversion of hydrogen into helium inside the sun suddenly accelerated. The fusion of helium elements would spread throughout the interior of the sun in a short period of time, resulting in a violent explosion called a helium flash. The sun would also become a huge and dim red giant, and the earth would be vaporized. All this will happen within four hundred years, and now 380 years have passed. Human history was also called the pre-solar era. It was really a fascinating golden age! Human beings will no longer be able to survive in the future solar system. The only way to survive is to immigrate to the stars in outer space. The only feasible goal for all human beings to immigrate is Proxima Centauri. The focus of the debate is on the method of immigration, which is also divided into the Earth faction and the spacecraft faction. The fastest spacecraft that humans can currently build can only reach 0.5% Of the speed of light, which would take 170,000 years to get there. An ecosystem the size of a spaceship cannot even sustain one-tenth of that time. Only an ecosystem on the scale of the Earth and such a majestic ecological cycle can keep life going for generations! Human beings have left the earth in the universe, just like a baby leaving its mother in the desert! In this case, the Earth Faction took the dominant position and formulated a plan for human escape. The first step is to use the earth engine to stop the earth's rotation and fix the engine nozzle in the opposite direction of the earth's movement; The second step is to start the earth engine at full power to accelerate the earth to escape velocity and fly out of the solar system; The third step is to continue accelerating in outer space and fly to Proxima Centauri; The fourth step is to re-rotate the earth midway, reverse the direction of the engine, and start decelerating; In the fifth step, the Earth moves into the orbit of Proxima Centauri and becomes a satellite of this star. People refer to these five steps as the Braking Era, the Escape Era, the Wandering Era I (acceleration), the Wandering Era II (deceleration), and the New Sun Era. That is the looming fire in front of the lonely traveler who is about to freeze to death in the ice and snow wasteland. It is the star in our hearts, and it is the only hope and support for mankind in the sea of suffering for the next hundred generations... The entire process is planned to take 2,500 years and 100 generations. In order to turn the earth into a rocket nozzle, humans began to live underground. The earth's orbital acceleration continues year after year. Whenever the earth rises towards the aphelion, people's hearts relax as the distance between the earth and the sun becomes longer; and when it falls towards the sun in the new year, people's hearts tighten day by day. A terrifying statement suddenly appeared, saying that the sun was still the same as before, that everything was the insidious ambition of the coalition government, and that it wanted to create a dictatorial empire and that the planet needed to be returned to its original orbit. Such ideas quickly spread among the crowd. The rebels were unstoppable along the way, and soon became a new force on the earth, and executed five thousand people at the earth's console. Just when they were complacent about their victory, singing "My Sun" to welcome a new day, at this moment the sun's helium flash erupted, and hundreds of thousands of people on the shore were stunned, as if they were frozen into a rigid rock like those on the sea. It makes people think, why do humans on earth believe a lie, and do not believe the conclusions reached by scientists after rigorous precision? I think part of it is the fear of the unknown. I don't know what will happen if I leave the original track. I am afraid that the destination is another kind of terrifying abyss. In this case, it is better to return to the original track. What if being vaporized is just a rumor? The other part is the blind obedience of public opinion. In the rabble, once people join a group, their IQ is seriously reduced. In order to gain recognition, individuals are willing to abandon right and wrong and use their IQ in exchange for a sense of belonging that makes people feel safe. Fortunately, there are still people alive. The earth sailed out of the orbit of Pluto, sailed out of the solar system, and continued its lonely voyage in the cold and vast outer space. Those who once spared no effort to save mankind were regarded as representatives of evil and frozen into rigid rocks, while those rebels lived on as a matter of course as the continuation of mankind. How ironic and sad this is! In fact, everyone has the right to choose to live. A slight decision can even determine the survival of mankind. No one can guarantee that the choice will be correct. After all, no one can predict it. Who can be responsible for it if something goes wrong? When humans took 2,500 years to arrive at Proxima Centauri, what exactly was waiting for them? Can we coexist peacefully in the face of Trisolarans who are a level higher in intelligence than us? Where will the fate of the planet go? The wheel of history is rolling forward, and the development of human society is rolling forward, and it will not stop for a moment for anyone.
