About This Novel
This story focuses on a space war. Three alien invasion armies came to the solar system with different purposes and posed a great threat to humans on earth. A series of stories revolve around this theme. The author began to design the characters of the Five Elements Witch based on the five elements, one of the most important elements of Chinese culture. Named after a witch, it sets the stage for future plots and is also mysterious. Witches are an important role in ancient China. They evolved into historians and played a huge role in spreading culture. They are not just witches in Western fairy tales, but also have great Chinese characteristics. The Five Elements Thought also represents a kind of simple materialism in ancient China, which highlights the importance of science and technology in war, and then runs through it with culture. The protagonist Mochi travels freely through the universe, working hard but at ease, which is more interesting than life in school. At the end of the work, the city of Chang'an reappears, which is mentioned many times in the work. The author has a deep attachment to the Tang Dynasty and the ancient city. In the context of science fiction, this is an attempt to integrate Chinese culture throughout it, that is, new humanistic science fiction. The three groups of aliens are silicon-based, carbon-based, and carbon-silicon-based life forms. They came to plunder resources, seize cultural relics, and resolve computer crises respectively. The ending also ended in a peaceful way. During the Earth Defense War, all forces on the Earth were complicated and contradictory. The author has constructed several groups of various powers on the earth and superhuman forces, especially superhuman ones, with characters such as the Five Elements Witch, the Three Heroes of China, the Three Elders of the Pyramid, the Twelve Warriors of the Pyramid, and the Thirteen Heroines of the Pacific, etc. The whole story is huge in content, rich in connotation and full of interest.
