In fact, this is a work of interstellar philosophy

This is a very in-depth work. It is not science fiction in the ordinary sense, such as battleships and technology that humans have never seen before, but an analysis based on the social form when humans face the end of the world. And these analyzes are all based on a macro philosophical category. On the other hand, science fiction works generally focus on technology, but this work emphasizes that the microscopic quantum world is the embodiment of high technology. A small detector wiped out all the space battleships, which was indeed an unusual idea. Continue reading the third part, Trisolaris may be able to live happily together with human beings.

Rich imagination

I finished reading the Three-Body Problem series. I felt that the second part was already perfect, and I was scared and curious about the third part of The Three-Body Problem. But after watching the third part, I felt that The Three-Body Problem was at its peak! The imagination is really amazing👍. After watching The Three-Body Problem, I feel that my understanding of the universe has become much richer. I also like to imagine, so the Three-Body Problem really suits my taste. Although there are some professional terms in the article that I don't understand, I gave up the book twice before because I couldn't understand it. This is the third time I read it. After my classmates strongly asked me to read it again, I persisted in reading it. If my classmates hadn't explained the technical terms in the book to me, I would have missed such a beautiful book. It really gets better the more you look at it, you have to stick to it to know.

So fake

Beyond the level of current technology, science fiction is pseudoscience and meaningless.

I admired the character Zhang Beihai in the second work (except for the protagonists Luo Ji and Da Shi). I think he is also a real wall-facer. No one can guess his true thoughts. What he obtained from his father was not only the think tank's predictions about the future world, but also his ability as a soldier. You must have strength and a strong heart to support your beliefs, and you must have the fearlessness to live towards death. Even if you already know the outcome, you still have to fulfill your responsibilities as a soldier and even the responsibilities of human civilization. You will not hesitate to bear the charge of adultery and leave a legacy for mankind until you are buried in the vast universe in the end... This may be his last and best destination.

From a perceptual point of view: I quite like this work. Whether it is the true description of human nature or the beautiful ending, it can still stimulate my emotions to a certain extent. From this point alone, I can feel the author's strong feelings towards writing this series of Chinese science fiction, and his fervent hope that Chinese science fiction can also occupy a place in the world's science fiction. Undoubtedly, #三体# did it, even though it was only a toddler stage. I also hope to see more Chinese masterpieces in world science fiction works in the future, not just #三体#. But from a rational point of view: this work still does not satisfy me. The first part is completely a stepping stone for this one, it is "tasteless", tasteless to eat, and a pity to discard. In my opinion, the key to this book is the author's description of knowledge in physics and astronomy. It is an exaggeration of the original knowledge, rather than unreasonable, and it is limited to the era at that time. In the first part, during the reading process, I lacked the interest to continue reading. I always felt that something was missing. Later I realized that there was a lack of unconstrained thoughts. When I saw the description of the development of the past two centuries, my eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again, because the description of the content entered the feeling of being constrained again. The kind of Chinese science fiction I hope to see is one that is not bound by social or even political ideas. Taking this as the premise, adding the author's knowledge base and unconstrained ideas as the content, then shaping a core, and finally describing the details in detail. Rather than a crudely described and constrained work.

Chapter content issues

I would like to ask whether it is a problem with my understanding or a problem with the description of the chapters in the e-book itself. The conversations between brown ants and spiders, and Ye Wenjie and Luo Ji are interspersed, which made me confused.

I just heard about this book when I was 8 years old. I saw my dad reading a book with a title that I didn't understand at all. Later, I asked my dad to read it to me, but he said I couldn't understand it. I didn't quite understand why he said that. When I first started reading this book, I felt it was very profound, but I immediately became very interested in it. As I slowly read, my mind seemed to be filled with all kinds of cosmic substances, and all kinds of imaginations kept emerging...

The universe is like a dark forest. There are many different civilizations in the forest. Each civilization is a survivor. The forest is very dark, but people do not light their own torches, because everyone is afraid that after lighting the torch, a group of people will attack him to obtain more resources to develop himself. Originally, the dark forest was very quiet. At that time, a newly emerged civilization lit the torch - the earth civilization. The Red Bank torch they launched could not bring peace at all, but could only bring destruction!

✒✒One of Chinese Science Fiction Recommendations: Liu Cixin 2✒✒ No.13 "Supernova Era". What would happen if only children under the age of 13 were left in the human race? This book is actually a wonderful record of a sociological experiment of unprecedented scale. In particular, the Antarctic War and the exchange of territory are surprising and reasonable. No.14 "The Devourer". Abbreviated version of "The Three-Body Problem": Human beings have become captive poultry, and the endless "eating-wandering" fate of the devourer civilization is equally surprising and lamentable. No.15 "Earth Fire". A tragic song of human innovation and exploration, it is also Liu's second best work. It tells us that the cost of human exploration may sometimes be unimaginably high, but if humans do not explore the path of spaceflight and fly out of the solar system, there will be only one result: extinction! No.16 "Mountain". Silicon-based civilization - the difficult development history of mechanical life living in the earth's core, actually calls water "invisible rock". Silicon-based life is incredible: mountains are everywhere. Regardless of silicon-based or carbon-based civilization, unremitting progress is the only (common) road to eternal life! No.17 "Devil's Blocks" + "Angel Age" (the latter is the abbreviation of the former). Is genetic engineering a devil or an angel? The Devil's Building Blocks led us into a real version of hell on earth, and the Age of Angels used the words of the characters in the text to declare that the Age of Angels is coming, and that humans can soar in the sky like birds and swim under the sea like fish. Don't read the first part if you are timid, otherwise you will have nightmares again and again. No.18 "Chinese Sun". Migrant worker Shui Wa experienced several leaps in life and finally reached the pinnacle: together with 20 co-workers, he became the crew of the first interstellar spaceship transformed from the Chinese sun, flying into the vast deep space. In Shui Wa's words: Some people spend their entire lives just to take a look at things that humans have never seen before! No.19 "Feeding Humanity". It is a very alternative work, like a cold-blooded gangster movie and a sociology textbook, but the "style" of the killer and the gang boss is completely overshadowed by the "light" of the horrifying end-user of the elder brother's civilization. It is really "the universe is so big that there is no shortage of wonders." Absurd and extreme stories can also be thought-provoking! No.20 "Full-band blocking interference". A tribute to the Russian people: Astrophysicist Misha resolutely flew a spacecraft into the sun in order to create the effect of interrupting most of the world's radio communications to help his motherland win the war... No.21 "The Cretaceous Past". The cooperation between the thinking of dinosaurs and the precise operation of ants created the Cretaceous civilization and moved from the age of steam engines to the information age. However, the two dinosaur empires first engaged in nuclear deterrence and then smuggled antimatter. The final disaster exterminated the dinosaurs and degenerated the intelligent ants into low-intelligent insects. While mocking the nuclear deterrence of major powers, it also tells us from both positive and negative aspects: only cooperation can win a win-win situation for civilization! No.22 "Sea of ​​Dreams". Freeze all the water in the world's oceans into giant ice, and 200,000 ice cubes form an ice ring surrounding the earth! This is the masterpiece of a cryogenic artist from a god-level civilization: Art is the only reason for the existence of civilization, but this artist has plunged the earth's civilization into dire straits.
