Devour*

In this quiet night, I once again had trouble falling asleep because of tossing and turning. Everyone, promise me not to read novels in the middle of the night, especially Liu's science fiction novels. You will suffer from insomnia.

Survival is the first law of civilization. Only with the power of survival can the spiritual spark of self-civilization shine for a moment in the dark night sky, annihilate and last forever.

Those who can give up their own interests and bravely take the first step are the hope of mankind. Comfort and involution will only lead to self-destruction, while exploration and expansion can lead to prosperity.

Besides being shocked, it's still shocking! The Marshal and the others stayed not only to become food for the next generation of civilization, but also to have the traditional idea of ​​returning fallen leaves to their roots. It not only leaves the last tenderness of human civilization to the next civilization, but also retains the last dignity of human civilization!

The continuation of civilization is not the immortality of individuals

The little bits of starlight at night shone on the ground, and its source was the moon. My thoughts flew to the meaning of the existence of the planet. This is the most direct feeling after reading Da Liu's works. I can't help but sigh at Da Liu's connotation and greatness.

There are countless life forms in the vast galaxy, but human beings have not yet developed to that point to observe them. However, I believe that one day, we humans will not become food. I wonder if one day, when our human civilization develops to a very advanced stage, our human civilization will also start to move towards the great galaxy and start plundering, just like the dinosaur civilization in this article. . .

I was really shocked by this short story by teacher Liu Cixin. The following contains spoilers. If you haven't read it, please read the original text first. Thank you. . . . . . In the face of such a powerful civilization, human beings did not sit still and wait for death but chose to act like a snake. In a heroic way, he is not willing to surrender even though he is small and generous. The second shocking point is actually in line with the current thinking of lying down. Today's day and night work has actually crushed the backs of many people. The great-grandson of the marshal in the article even had a strong desire for all things against his great-grandfather, but a person like this is not even qualified to cook food. (A blessing in disguise?) The third shocking point was when Daya invited the Marshal and others to become citizens of the Devourer Empire and build a museum belonging to mankind, full of romanticism and ultimate temptation. But they chose a more tragic romance - staying and becoming food for ants🐜. This is really hard to comment on, really...

Civilization is devouring, constantly eating and eating, constantly expanding and expanding. Everything else is secondary. One's own survival is based on conquering and destroying others. Seems to be the predecessor of "Dark Forest"

From a human perspective, a grand cosmic war is described. But beneath the veil of war lies the glory and destruction of civilization. The civilization of dinosaurs wanders into the universe and meets human civilization hundreds of millions of years later. The dinosaur civilization looks terrifying and murderous on the outside, but inside it harbors the heart of a wanderer who longs to go home (home planet). The destruction of civilization is not the end, it may also be a new beginning

When I saw that the ant civilization would not be able to continue without food, I thought that the marshals themselves could be used as food, but I didn't expect that they actually did this. Shocking, they did not hesitate at a time when earth civilization could continue. This reminds me of modern China. How many revolutionary martyrs used their lives to continue Chinese civilization. They are all the same type of people. When you read this book and are moved by the marshals and others, please also respect and respect the people who silently contribute to our country in reality. If possible, let us become that person together!

"Marshal, we stay." Said a young lieutenant. The marshal nodded firmly. "Stay? What are you doing?!" Da Ya looked at them in turn and asked in surprise, "The hibernation device on your spaceship is close to being scrapped, and there is no food. Do you want to stay and wait for death?" "Stay and take the first step," the marshal said calmly. "?" "The first step of the new civilization you just mentioned." "You... Want to be food for ants?!" The Earth warriors nodded. To use the word "hero" to describe them, I feel that this word is not worthy of them...

The earth has never survived Liu Cixin's book.

I was shocked when I saw the end. From the dinosaur society to the human society, in the end, humans contributed their only and most precious life to the ant society. This reminded me of the story that Big Ya first came to the earth as a devourer to tell humans, saying that they went to a warm land and survived on the corpse of a mammoth. The cycle of cause and effect is endless.

When our world faces disaster, someone has to step up; When our civilization is facing extinction, someone must stand up. When no one is willing to stand up, this civilization and this world will truly be destroyed. We should respect, support and encourage those who dare to stand up

Liu Cixin's works never disappoint

Humanity never gave up resistance, although it eventually lost. The most unacceptable thing is that in the feeding of the Devouring Empire, human morality and self-respect are completely lost, which is really heartbreaking. The finishing touch is that Daya is a dinosaur. They are born from the same roots, so there is no need to rush into each other. They are both creatures of the mother earth. Humans have learned to be self-sufficient, while dinosaurs have only learned to plunder, which is a bit ironic. And finally, for the sake of humanity, Li Wenming took the first step and firmly chose to be food for ants. , The great warrior of mankind, salute! ! !

Watch it together with "Once Upon a Time in the Cretaceous", there will be surprises

Super long and beautiful clothes are all my clothes because I like people and it feels so good to be the same as others. When will our lifestyle come back? When will our lifestyle come back? When will our lifestyle come back? Shall we wait here for you to go see the sea? I am in my living state. When will I come back?

This book actually ends with human failure! Humans can disappear, but the earth cannot! The next book "Shiyun" ends with the victory of Chinese culture, so the most important thing about human beings is not the living body itself! It's about civilized culture and the protection of the earth!

"The Devourer" is not as grand as Liu Cixin's other works. It is more like a story told by an old man over time. This is the best short science fiction story I have ever read. Unlike other short stories that are too short or unfinished, it really makes people feel that the story is finished and finished.

Liu has countless works. Although this book is not as famous as Liu Cixin's "The Three-Body Problem", it is my personal favorite among Liu Cixin's many works. In this book, Liu Cixin uses a grand vision and a gripping plot to show the audience a future world, presenting a grand contest between humans and alien races. The background of the story is set in the future at the beginning of the 21st century. A group of mysterious alien creatures-the Devourers suddenly descended on the earth. Devourers devour objects built by human civilization in a magical way, leading to the collapse of cities and the demise of humanity. When the Devourers invade on such a large scale, how can humans resist the unknown and powerful force?

After reading this, I thought of a sentence, a whale falls and all things are born. When a civilization is on the verge of extinction, it needs the heroes of the civilization to pass on this permanent inheritance no matter how they sacrifice themselves. And civilization is not limited to the same species. As long as life can produce its own civilization in enough time, this is enough for Mother Earth.

The article is not long, but it leaves more room for imagination and shock after understanding. When humans discover such a civilization, there is no concrete social reaction. There may be shock, excitement, and despair, but it is not fully reflected. It reminds me of the Tripod Plan, which disguises everything. The process was also very exciting, especially the plan to blow up the moon. I immediately thought of the part in The Wandering Earth. Maybe Liu Cixin had this idea a long time ago? [Read carefully] It is shocking until the end. I never expected that this civilization could be the dinosaur civilization 140 million years ago. It is unexpected but reasonable. After seeing how 2 billion humans were domesticated after the plan failed, and what the marshal's great-granddaughter said to him, I felt sad and deplorable. Don't humans do this to other animals? The marshal and the soldiers chose to stay on the earth and use their own nourishment as the first step of a new civilization. They are really surprised. There may be despair for human civilization and a strong longing for their hometown, but they will all arouse readers' sincere admiration for them. Ants are small, but they are also civilized. Finally, I hope that the new civilization will bloom with a golden dawn and continue to be brilliant on this land of the earth.

I guessed a little wrong about the development of the plot in the previous article, but the feelings are similar. The plot is more reasonable than I guessed, and it moved me more. This is about this author. It is the second book I have read. It ends with a glimmer of hope in the midst of great desolation. Even if there are many, many lives that choose to preserve their own interests as much as possible while rushing into desolation, the life represented by the protagonist will still continue to struggle in the face of great loneliness and panic, and is still willing to give everything he has in order to look forward to a glimmer of possibility in the future. Many years apart, two novels of different sizes, almost completely different stories, and somewhat similar endings gave me the same shock at different stages of life.

I was really touched. I saw the last ants and decided to stay. The soldiers came, I couldn't help but cry. Like old fear It's the same as what Long said. What's the point of endlessly conquering the universe? Righteousness? Where is home? If it were me, I would do the same The same choice as the warriors. I would like to become the soil of my destination and nourish the new life of my home.

Devourers have a similar appearance to humans, but the difference is that the former left their home star to carry out aggressive plunder, while humans decided to restart earth civilization after their home star was depleted. There is no morality in the civilization of the universe, but what life has in common is introspection.

I wanted to say something but I didn't know where to start. In short, this novel is very exciting, the logic is very clear, and the writing is very superb. It begs the Devouring Empire to show mercy from several aspects such as history and morality, and at the same time secretly plans to change the moon's orbit to severely damage the Swallowing Ring. This illustrates the ingenuity of human beings. Although it still failed to prevent the Earth from being swallowed, human efforts are still successful. Effectively, in the end, although the great-grandson of the Earth's supreme commander spoke as a ration for the Devouring Empire, he strongly condemned the commander's previous plans, but this is reality. Compared with the not-so-good life on Earth, a long-term peaceful life will indeed cause dissatisfaction among some people. This shows that humans living in the Devouring Empire have adapted to that kind of life, and that human society is gone forever.

Liu's "Three-Body" series is the only paper science fiction book I have read. I have read it three times and I am still shocked! This novel also gave me the same sense of shock as always! Thank you Tomato Novels, thank you
