Please don't take responsibility for me!" With that, I grabbed my card and ran, disappearing overnight. Three months later, he waited outside my hometown, holding a report in one hand and staring intently at my round belly with the other, gritting his teeth: "Did the snacks in your belly come to life? They've even grown into a fetus shape?" I took a half-step back, protecting my belly, and gave an awkward laugh: "Um... This is a new variety, puffed snacks, excuse me."

    Reader note

    Hello fellow book lover! I sincerely recommend two novellas of science fiction to you, *The Electronic Journey: Breaking Free* and *The Electronic Journey: Rebirth*, which I'm sure you'll enjoy. The science fiction foundations of these stories are closely related to physics, based on knowledge of electricity, quantum physics, and computer science, offering a novel and unique perspective. The story's underlying logic is based on a future physics PhD's discovery of a microscopic intelligent civilization existing on free electrons; the antagonist's setbacks in work and relationships serve as the catalyst; the story revolves around two main threads: "the antagonist steals research results—uses the microscopic intelligent civilization to retaliate against targets—causing global catastrophe," 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 perspective on the symbiotic civilization of the macro and micro levels. The author has meticulously crafted the plot, ensuring rigorous logic. All science fiction elements are based on reasonable conjectures about scientific and technological development and contradictions, possessing a complete worldview. The author's writing style is fluent, featuring vivid descriptions, rich character emotions, and grand science fiction scenes, making it a worthwhile read. (1) The novel proposes the concept of "a future macroscopic and microscopic symbiotic civilization", which is a new way of thinking from the perspective of science fiction. (2) The novel's conjecture that "oxygen atoms and the structure of the solar system are isomorphic, and the 8-planet celestial system may have similar environments and may give birth to similar life forms" is worth discussing and thinking about by science fiction fans. (3) The novel proposes that "the 'simultaneity' of time in the human world may be a very large time scale in the microscopic world. The 'superposition state' in quantum mechanics, if viewed from the perspective of the microscopic 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 believes that "electrons observed in experiments are not necessarily passively generated, but may also be active escape phenomena created by life behavior." This view is worth thinking about 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 supremacy of morality and the harmonious coexistence of all things, which aligns with the mainstream worldview of today. (8) The protagonist's spirit of daring to take risks and sacrifice himself for the fate of all mankind demonstrates the noble quality of a free and loving heart, and is a manifestation of a noble character that embraces the world and the fate of humanity. In addition, the novel also involves discussions on AI ethics, the highest moral principles, and introduces knowledge such as base lightning protection measures, laser lightning energy storage, and types and characteristics of lightning. In short, the story is very exciting. While reading, one can learn some real knowledge and also start thinking about the future development of technology and life forms, as well as ethics and morality. I sincerely recommend it to my fellow book lovers!
