    The author, a senior scientist in a research position, has always lamented the scarcity of hard science fiction works since Liu Cixin, and couldn't resist trying his hand at writing.

It's short, avoids dragging, and has a strong sense of realism. The classic chapter is Chapter 13, "One Person, One Thousand Faces." "The Year of Artificial Intelligence? You're not talking about that GPU bubble in history, are you? Before the birth of the pain program, humanity thought they had developed artificial intelligence.

    This is hard science fiction, so hard that it interweaves current events, interstellar news, and professional theoretical knowledge. It allows you to experience the charm of my new style of science fiction, which combines encyclopedic, documentary-style, episodic, diary, and autobiographical elements, all within a blend of reality and fiction.

    Packed with sci-fi elements, the film vividly depicts interstellar warfare, making it feel like an immersive sci-fi blockbuster! Tiny humans fight against the Zerg with their own abilities; there's little suspicion between people, only a shared goal and a common Earth. The exoskeleton mechs are also incredibly cool. The protagonist, a clueless youth in Dog City, transforms into a true interstellar soldier under the guidance of his mentors and friends!

    It has a very imaginative plot, ranging from the origin and structure of the universe to the origin and continuation of civilizations. However, it's written rather slowly, not a fast-paced, light novel, but the logic is sound.
