    Hello, brothers! I found a few more books that I think are pretty good, so I thought I'd share them with you. A few familiar faces are also in them, which I guess most of you have probably seen. See the brief introductions below. The first book is a Three-Body Problem-like novel, its writing style is quite similar. Those interested can check it out. But this isn't a wish-fulfillment story; it's a story about survival. The protagonist is swept away by a dump truck and reincarnated into a supercomputer in a parallel universe, becoming an artificial intelligence. He gets fed up after being given a grand unified theory and a video of Earth collapsing by a hapless system. With the protagonist's help, humanity begins a frantic technological advancement, devising a plan to wander the moon, and embarking on their survival journey. The second book, which I've already introduced, is a development story. The protagonist, seeing no hope of survival, jumps into a four-dimensional space he gains, is sent back to a point before the apocalypse by an advanced civilization, and begins stockpiling resources and building safe houses. He then starts building his own power, collecting and researching pre-apocalyptic technology, and ultimately breaking free from Earth. The third book is a behind-the-scenes story where the protagonist uses his incredible microscopic manipulation abilities to develop technology, achieving a technological leap that surpasses Earth's by thousands of years without anyone knowing. This book has just finished its tedious, narrative-driven phase, but it's still decent overall; those interested can check it out. The fourth book is basically all veteran actors. The protagonist wields near-invincible technology, a pseudo-invincible novel about roaming the interstellar universe; it's a satisfying read with a good premise and is quite recommended. I suspect most people have read it. The fifth book is a technologically invincible novel where the protagonist studies and applies technical data, and it's alright. The sixth book is an older book; I suspect most people have read it. Overall, it's quite good, but it falls into a tedious, narrative-driven cycle in the later stages. I finished this one and had a good impression. The seventh book is also by a veteran actor; I've almost forgotten the plot. The early part is well-written, but later on, it's just the same few plot devices over and over again, and I'm already tired of it. Surprisingly, it's still being updated; these are some of the longest-running books I've seen on this platform. There are so few new science and technology books, and even fewer worth reading. Are there any good science and technology articles you can recommend? Thanks everyone! [Heart emoji]
