    Reader note

    Hello fellow book lovers! I recommend two science fiction novellas to you: *Electronic Journey: Breaking the Cocoon* and *Electronic Journey: Rebirth*. Both are hardcore, logic-heavy, and offer a fresh science fiction perspective, telling the story of the interaction between electronic intelligent civilization and human civilization in the microscopic world. The first novella, *Breaking the Cocoon*, focuses on mind-bending logical analysis and scientific conjecture, emphasizing the raising of questions; the second novella, *Rebirth*, emphasizes vivid writing and a grand science fiction atmosphere, focusing on solving problems. The science fiction foundation of the stories is closely related to physics, based on reasonable concepts developed from knowledge of electricity, quantum physics, and computer science, offering a novel and unique science fiction perspective. The story's underlying logic is based on a future physics PhD's discovery of microscopic intelligent civilizations existing in free electrons; the antagonist's work and emotional setbacks serve as the catalyst for events; the story revolves around two main threads: "The antagonist steals research results—uses the microscopic intelligent civilization to retaliate against targets—causing global disasters," and "The protagonist unravels the mysteries of various disasters—develops cooperation with the microscopic civilization based on research results—and stops the global catastrophe." Ultimately, this establishes a new science fiction perspective on the path of macroscopic and microscopic symbiotic civilizations. The work is carefully conceived, and the plot is as logically rigorous as possible. All science fiction elements are based on reasonable conjectures about the development of science and technology and contradictions, ensuring a complete worldview system. The writing style is as fluent as possible, with vivid descriptions, rich character emotions, and grand science fiction scenes to satisfy different readers' reading experience and appreciation levels. The following views expressed in the novel are worth discussing and reflecting on: (1) The novel puts forward the concept of "future macro and micro symbiotic civilization", which is a new thinking from the perspective of science fiction. (2) The novel's conjecture that "oxygen atoms and the structure of the solar system are isomorphic, the 8-planet celestial system may have similar environments, and similar life forms may be born" is worth discussing and pondering by science fiction fans. (3) The novel puts forward the view that "the 'simultaneity' of human world time may be a very large time scale in the micro world. The 'superposition state' in quantum mechanics, if viewed from the perspective of the micro world, is a collection of multiple states of events that occur in a linear order over a long time scale, so there is no superposition state." This view is worth thinking about and discussing. (4) The novel argues that "electrons observed in experiments are not necessarily passively generated, but may also be active escape phenomena created by life behavior." This viewpoint is worth considering and studying. (5) The novel's vision of the future combination of brain-computer interfaces and bionic robots is worth looking forward to. (6) The novel contains a satirical attitude towards extremism. Technological extremism, scientific extremism, fame and fortune extremism, and behavioral extremism are all objects of ridicule in the novel. (7) The novel advocates the idea of ​​morality above all else and harmonious coexistence of all things, which is in line with the mainstream worldview of today. (8) The protagonist in the novel dares to take risks and sacrifice himself for the fate of all mankind, which demonstrates the noble quality of being free and loving, and is a manifestation of the noble character of having the world and the fate of mankind in mind. (9) The deeper meaning of the story is that: previous science fiction novels often discussed the origin of higher intelligence and civilization. Here, it is believed that higher intelligence and civilization do not necessarily originate outside the macrocosm, but are more likely to originate from electrons in the microcosm, for example, perhaps as a result of the activities of intelligent life groups in micro-electrons. After all, everything on Earth is composed of microscopic matter, so it's more likely that the world we see today was constructed by a microscopic intelligent civilization. Traditional science fiction often imagines life and all things on Earth as created by a macroscopic, unknown civilization; this fixed perspective needs to be changed. The secret to life may lie within life itself. Furthermore, the novel explores AI ethics, the highest moral principles, and introduces knowledge about base lightning protection measures, laser lightning storage, and the types and characteristics of lightning. The story strives for engaging content, hoping to provide readers with useful knowledge while sparking reflection on future technological developments, life forms, and ethical considerations. I sincerely recommend this book to all readers and humbly welcome your feedback and comments!

    After Wang Mang resurrected, he controlled everyone present, commenting on each person. Then, sensing the aura of the Azure Heaven, he unleashed his Phoenix Power to search for the Azure Heaven's whereabouts. Diao Chan wanted to reincarnate again, but Wang Mang pulled her into the Yellow Heaven World, telling her that it was once the domain ruled by the Yellow Heaven, and then transformed her soul gem into gold. Wang Mang forged the pure gold needles into the Yellow Lantern Ring, using the power of fear to overwhelm everyone present. Diao Chan's fear was of Lü Bu's death. Lü Bu saw himself fighting his junior brother, accidentally killing his lover; his own arm being cut off; his lover committing suicide before his eyes. Wang Mang seemed oblivious to Chen Gong. Wang Mang left Mei Wu for Chang'an, releasing the Parallax Monster to devour the people of Chang'an. At this time, Dong Zhuo, still alive due to his vampire nature, told Chen Gong to use the Mortal Blade to sever his connection with Wang Mang. Chen Gong put on the Stone Mask, transforming into the Hollow Knight's mask, truly becoming the Hollow Knight, the vessel sealing the Yellow Heaven. Dong Zhuo finally realized his mistake. He was surprised that he could escape the will of Heaven, but Heaven itself was also the will of Heaven, and he had always been merely a pawn of it. Dong Zhuo said to Chen Gong, "Come! I will prove to Heaven that mortals are not your puppets. Free will is real, and I, Dong Zhuo, will never submit to Heaven's will, even in death!"

    A middle-aged critic's book recommendation: A crossover book, for ease of understanding, it can be seen as a combination of hard science fiction, strong strategy, and high-minded viewpoints, like "The End of Ten Days." However, the main characters are a bit abnormal, and if readers laugh uncontrollably, it's not the author's fault. The logic is rigorous; the knowledge from 17 disciplines is supported by orthodox theories, not just popular theories disguised as science. The story is ingenious, with interconnected plots, numerous foreshadowing elements, and all plot holes are resolved; it's not a fragmented story pieced together solely to prove the author's point.

    Is science fiction too niche? Earth faces crisis, survival in space, and interstellar civilizations vying for existence. It draws inspiration from *The Three-Body Problem* and *Stellaris*, but forges its own path. It has no system, no complex plot, and possesses depth; it's worth reading. I welcome feedback and positive reviews.
