High Speed Rail

"High Speed ​​Rail" is the continuation of the classic "Orbital Trilogy" by Han Song, a representative Chinese science fiction writer. It can be regarded as a segmented novel. In "Motor Train" and "Maternity Room", the high-speed train control system failed and a unique artificial universe evolved. The passengers were the projection of some kind of collective consciousness. Zhou Yuan was selected as the seed figure to save the train, but he ran away because of cowardice; In "The Tower", Zhou Tiesheng, who was born and grew up on the high-speed train, discovers the secret of his father Zhou Yuan in a new round of turmoil. The train is being transformed into an artificial muscle type, and artificial stars are used to establish a new biological chain; The train in "Thunder" is already a large farm, and the boys, seduced by a city girl who infiltrates it, discover that it is actually a mobile nuclear missile launch site in disguise; In "Dangerous Building", the explorers keep returning to the starting point inexplicably on the train, until the final battle destroys all life in the train, but the train continues to move... A sci-fi evolutionary history of high-speed rail, extracting the cycle of life and death of all phenomena in the human history and universe. Professor Wang Dewei once pointed out that "suspense" allows Han Song to break away from the narrative status quo and has a surreal flavor. "Spiritual thinking" drives him to extend his perspective into the universe, thereby projecting post-human thinking. Everything is just as Lu Xun said, "In the sky, I see an abyss, and in all eyes, I see nothing."
