Prequel to the Three-Body Problem: Ball Lightning

It was so shocking. The shock and reality it brought me seemed to transcend the constraints of words. I was really involved in the disasters and wars in the book, and I felt subconsciously shocked and desperate. Really an excellent science fiction novel.

In fact, I have always felt that among Liu's works, "Ball Lightning" is the most enjoyable and enlightening one to read. It is not that "The Three-Body Problem" is not great, but "Ball Lightning" is too real, too compact, and too impeccable. It is the kind of work that can make science fiction nerds read the entire book with goosebumps.

Liu Cixin is so strong! There are almost no holes in professional physics and plot. And there are a lot of foreshadowings. While our readers think carefully, it also leads us to think about physics and philosophy. Such masterpieces are often what Tomato should carry forward! Finally, I would like to add that Liu Cixin is my god! ! !

It's really wonderful. There is a sentence that is so profound: "My time with her was always like this. We never looked at each other, but we were both looking in the same direction." There is nothing more like-minded than this. It is simple, concise, and the words that penetrate the soul are shocking to the scalp. No one dares to say that Liu has no writing skills. Not to mention the various settings about ball lightning, which are so subtle that I almost thought they were real. Maybe this is the charm of science fiction. In this fantasy, the logic is perfect and it forms a world of its own.

I have to say that Mr. Liu has a great imagination. The book is not long but it shocked me more than once. Although it appears as a prequel to The Three-Body Problem, its complete and independent story structure also presents a different world and world view. Very exciting.

Epic! Made, it really exploded! ! ! Lin Yun is a true warrior! A sword bearer who is enough to intimidate the world! A truly strong person, her character is not inferior to that of Zhang Beihai, Luo Ji, or Wade! We don't desire to be understood, we only desire to achieve our goals! Quantum weapon, goddess of war!

Very good, the whole text is not imagined out of thin air, many things are extended from real science. And there are not only science fiction things, but also worldly feelings. It can be said that the author has high attainments in science and literature. [Love][love][love]

Wonderful, the only novel by Liu I have never read that I have finally finished. There is science fiction in romance, there is romance in science fiction, there is the romance of love, and there is also the romance of risking your own life for your own goals. Although it is said to be a prequel to The Three-Body Problem, it does have a different feeling than watching The Three-Body Problem. The character descriptions in this Ball Lightning are more delicate. The quantum rose at the end can be said to be an exclusive romance for science and engineering men like Da Liu. Just like this poem: Looking back suddenly, that person is in a dimly lit place.

I am fortunate to be from the same country as Da Liu (I am proud to be able to read the original version). Da Liu is also one of the few writers who I like in every work. Each article leaves people with a feeling of unfinished learning, and can give people different insights into science, the environment, and other aspects.

I only came across the book Ball Lightning after reading The Three-Body Problem, which is equally exciting!

So pretty! It's indescribable and fascinating. It's like having an extra pair of eyes, seeing a deep and vast world, and experiencing a feeling that transcends the meaning of life itself. When I first started reading, I thought about giving up. There were a lot of technical jargon, a difficult reading journey that was different from the easy reading of two or three sentences on the Internet, and I particularly disliked the pretentious and suspenseful sentences, but luckily I persevered. Only by reading to the end can you feel the charm of this book. I want to read all the other books as well.

There are many foreshadowings in the book, the characters are vivid, and the plot develops smoothly. It is a rare and excellent science fiction work, which has both the rationality of science fiction and the beautiful emotions between people. I was deeply moved after reading this book, and I really wanted to have a fulfilling life even though the characters in the book were miserable. I really want to see the smile of Quantum Rose.

The author's understanding of physics extends to his understanding of war. Cruel and romantic, sometimes it feels like people's consciousness can really travel through time, giving the author imagination, but without any other memories! This book is worth reading 2 times or 3 times!

Ball lightning: That blue rose that never collapses, Blooming in the deep empty valley, A slightly fragrant and slightly bitter taste, Across dimensions, Catching my throbbing heart, Even breathing is painful, Sad after reading, I can only be comforted by the mist drifting before my eyes.

The transition from science fiction to philosophy is so smooth Da Liu's construction of Lin Yun's character is very layered. At first glance, it seems ruthless, but in the end, it shows the strength, tenderness and sacrifice of women. The quantum rose at the end is really the ultimate romance I finished the last part of The Three-Body Problem in a hurry, but Ball Lightning, the dull and suspenseful foreshadowing in the early stage, and the grand reversal of the novel's universe pattern in the middle and late stages make people feel the author's rich imagination and strong control of the plot. Of course, the air hero only has a surname but no name, Dr. Chen, and his personal plot is quite touching, more vivid than Wang Miao's tool [laughing]

Cold and profound, humanity and science complement each other.

The psychological description of the characters is detailed and vivid, which promotes the development of the story and is fascinating. There is a very rich scientific imagination and knowledge, which makes people not feel false and blunt. It is obvious that the author has certain literary skills.

The big book is indeed beautiful, and I feel like I am not qualified to judge it. As a liberal arts major, I was deeply attracted. I read it in two days. It is indeed worth reading.

I have watched "Ball Lightning" many times. It is very deep and connotative, and the characters are well portrayed. A great work needs to have the theme of love, which is described in this book in a very subtle and somewhat simple way. It was sublimated in the later book "The Three-Body Problem", making the novel "The Three-Body Problem" an unprecedented success.

This book is not only an interpretation of the author's conjecture after witnessing ball lightning. And the stories in it also reflect his objective attitude towards war and weapons research. I think the foreshadowing of this book is very good. Maybe what puzzled you at the beginning will suddenly become clear to you later. Maybe when you read this book for the second time, you will suddenly understand when the context connects. And the portrayal of the character Lin Yun is also wonderful. From her various dealings and various plots about her, we can see that she is a very arbitrary person. He is strong and fragile, he is both rational and emotional, his obsession with weapons and his concern about his mother's death have already hinted at her ending.

Ball Lightning is a great science fiction book, and I am deeply attracted by the content. After reading it, I feel like ball lightning is really like that, but in reality it does not appear or cannot reach that height. This may be the charm of science fiction. I highly recommend this novel to be worth reading [Blow Kiss]

Absolutely a good book. Rather than Liu's creation of science fiction, what I admire more is his knowledge of worldly affairs, astronomy, geography, military, medicine, physics, chemistry, mathematics, quantum mechanics, etc. It is impossible to write without a certain understanding.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being named Liu. Every novel, whether it is a novella, a short story, or a novel, has deeply shocked me. Especially Da Liu's thoughts. This is what really impressed me. The conjectures he proposed are both unbelievable and reasonable. It is this kind of fantastic conjecture that fascinates me deeply.

What is more touching than the science fiction setting is the lifelong obsession in the book. The life of the protagonist Dr. Chen began when he was 14 years old when a ball lightning burned his parents on a rainy night. For decades after that, he gave up everything just to pursue the lightning that destroyed his life. From an academic laboratory to a secret military base, from a thirst for knowledge to a resistance to weaponization, his pursuit has slowly transformed from an obsession for revenge to a piety for scientific truth. Lin Yun, who is in extreme contrast to him, saw his mother die from a biological weapon as a child, and regards new concept weapons as the only answer to protect him. He is paranoid, decisive, and almost crazy in promoting the weaponization of ball lightning, and will never look back even if he is burdened with human lives and touches the ethical bottom line. She is a fanatical believer in science and a prisoner of the trauma of war. In the end, she uses herself as a trigger to detonate macrofusion, ends the war with her life, and turns into a quantum rose that blooms forever.

So beautiful! Not only is the story captivating with its ups and downs, its imagination is unparalleled, the characters are vividly and vividly portrayed, and the writing is smooth and concise, leaving you with endless aftertaste after reading it!

Liu's ability to understand science fiction is unparalleled. The most important thing about science fiction is not science, but fantasy. Da Liu's fantasy has a romantic color, combining science and romance in a way that ordinary people can understand, just like the invisible quantum rose at the end of the article, but he still hopes to see it even just for a glimpse. In this article, the mutual influence between personal thoughts and personal economy is also vividly reflected by Liu. This is the top work of science, humanities and romance! ! Personal economy—>Personal experience

So attractive! It's so imaginative, science has no limits! The author is awesome and knowledgeable! ! !

I read this prequel after reading "The Three-Body Problem". A large part of the reason for reading science fiction novels is to cultivate my interest in science. Although it is always illusory and distorted, it is always wonderful and wonderful. It is full of thinking about the world and the exploration of human nature. Various theories and conjectures are shining with the light of wisdom and the starlight of science. If "Three-Body" is a reflection and reverie on the relationship between the entire human civilization and the world, then "Ball Lightning" may be a combination of human phenomena and scientific conjecture. What a magnificent imagination. My favorite sentence in this book is "The entrance to science is the entrance to hell." I hope that science will benefit mankind, but reality often brings disasters, but science must develop, and mankind will always be on the road of exploration. I pay tribute to all scientific explorers and thinkers. As for the characters in this book, everyone's portrayal is wonderful. Lin Yun and Wade do have many similarities. Ding Yi is also very unforgettable. After reading The Three-Body Problem, I found that his thoughts and talents are beyond recognition. They are all geniuses! This is a really shocking book. I will keep thinking about it, imagining it, and exploring it. I hope I can be really obsessed with something and find my passion. After all, "We are obsessed with something and try our best. That is enough and it is a kind of success." Although "every leaf outside the window makes human science look so naive and weak." It doesn't matter, "Don't think so much, just move forward."

The writing is so awesome. Quantum Ghost is really imaginative, but it's such a pity that Lin Yun turned into a quantum state. She is so charming and seems to be cold-blooded, but all the things that follow show that she is a kind-hearted person. Her obsession with weapons is also based on her love for the country. The love for her family comes from her. She is a soldier, not a shallow one who only likes weapons. In the end, when her father said that she was a criminal and not a soldier, Lin Yun did not take off the medal, but left sadly. I cried when I saw it. The premise of Lin Yun doing everything is to love the motherland. There are also photos of her and her children. She looks the coldest person, but in my eyes she is a kinder person than Cheng Xin.

The science fiction concept is impeccable, but the character setting is lacking, which is not suitable for me who likes to read stories [laughing] The characters in The Three-Body Problem are more vivid than the ball. But that doesn't stop it from being a science fiction book [Send my heart][Send my heart]
