A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!
Chapter 337: What does it have to do with you if I destroy you? The world of science fiction should
Chapter 337: What does it have to do with you if I destroy you? The world of science fiction should change! This is the true strength of Chinese science fiction!
It is hard to believe that in an Asian country where science fiction literature is not well developed, a work like "The Three-Body Problem: Past Events on Earth" that combines human imagination and science fiction almost perfectly was born?
The book provides a detailed and concise description of the relationship between the Three-Body World and the human world.
He makes no secret of his hostility towards alien civilizations.
In the book, Jiang Hai believes that there is only one law for the development of cosmic civilization:
"Forward! Forward! Forward by any means necessary!"
After giving their opinions, the expert jury rated Jiang Hai's "The Three-Body Problem 20: Past Events on Earth", which was produced in 1 days.
Until now, Dean Morgan Tristan from Harvard has not recovered from the shock given to him by the Three-Body Problem.
It was at this moment that a sentence from the book began to repeat in his mind:
"Do you know what is the highest form of respect for a race or civilization?"
"what?"
"Killing them all is the highest respect for a civilization."
Ever since the birth of science fiction, humans have always had an inexplicable goodwill towards alien civilizations?
I don’t know since when, mainstream science fiction literature always tends to portray alien civilizations as kind, friendly, and helpful?
It is based on this concept.
On Earth, a considerable number of humans believe that:
"We should take the initiative to contact extraterrestrial civilizations and use the technology they provide us to develop the productivity of existing Earth civilization."
"We should take the initiative to search for extraterrestrial civilizations."
It seems that as long as high-dimensional alien life is discovered.
Will these alien life forms definitely help humans achieve technological breakthroughs and thus improve the productivity of Earth civilization?
But who would have thought that Jiang Hai launched a fierce attack on this view in his book "The Three-Body Problem" -
"In the 17th century, Americans who were self-conscious about their civilization discovered that a group of backward Indian natives were actually occupying the fertile soil of America."
"What did they do to the Indians?"
"In the 19th century, European countries that entered the Industrial Revolution and whose productivity developed rapidly discovered the Qing Dynasty, which was still in a feudal society."
"What did they do to the Qing Dynasty?"
Human beings do not hide the ugliest side of their nature from their fellow human beings.
Why should we place our goodwill on alien civilizations that we have never met?
When a low-dimensional society collides with a higher-dimensional foreign civilization, there will only be one outcome:
Behead to kill!
Total destruction!
It is also based on this conjecture that Jiang Hai, in his book "The Three-Body Problem 1: Earth's Past", reveals through the conversation between the main character Ye Wenjie and the monitor No. 1379 of the Three-Body World that there is only one way for low-dimensional civilizations to survive in the universe:
"Don't answer!!!"
"Don't answer!!!"
"Don't answer!!!"
Once discovered, destroyed!
If humans want to survive in the vast universe, there is only one thing they can do.
Try your best to hide yourself!
Jeremiah, a professor of physics at Cambridge University in the UK, submitted a professional report to the organizing committee after reading The Three-Body Problem:
"This is the astronomy and physics viewpoint I extracted from the book The Three-Body Problem by the writer Jiang Hai."
【First, cosmic sociology. 】
【Axiom 1: Survival is the most fundamental need of civilization. 】
【Axiom 2: Civilization continues to grow, but the total amount of matter in the universe remains constant. 】
"For every civilization that exists in the universe, survival and continuation are always the first priority of civilization."
"The resources of the universe are limited."
"But the number of civilizations in the universe is very likely infinite."
"When civilizations multiply to a certain number, they will begin to plunder limited resources. Civilizations are the majority, and resources are the minority. When civilizations plunder each other's resources, war is bound to break out! In order to avoid this situation, when a high-dimensional civilization discovers a low-dimensional civilization, there is usually only one thing they can do -"
"Discover and destroy!"
"Discover and destroy!"
It is also based on these two cosmic sociological axioms summarized by British physics professor Jeremiah based on "The Three-Body Problem".
Professor Cameron from Stanford School of Logic began to make a logical supplement to the summarized cosmological sociology axioms:
【Second, the chain of suspicion.】
[A civilization cannot judge whether another civilization is kind or malicious toward itself.]
[One civilization cannot judge whether another civilization considers itself to be benign or malicious.]
[One civilization cannot judge whether another civilization judges itself to be kind or malicious toward it. ]
"In the universe, there must be civilizations that advocate peace and civilizations that advocate the use of force, even though not all civilizations advocate war or extinction."
"but!"
"A civilization that advocates peace, when it is unable to judge whether another civilization is benevolent or malicious towards it, in order to ensure its own safety, even if it is a civilization that advocates peace, when it discovers that an unknown civilization has exposed its cosmic coordinates, it will only do one thing -"
"destroy!"
"Only by completely destroying the other side can we ensure our own safety!"
That is when professors from universities around the world summarized the [Universal Social Axioms] and [Chain of Suspicion] in Jiang Hai's book.
Suddenly, there was a huge uproar at the scene.
Some people think:
"The viewpoints in Jiang Hai's book are too radical. He completely uses the 'theory of human nature being evil' to make equal assumptions about every civilization in the universe."
"Could a high-latitude civilization be so extreme?"
Of course, some people think:
"radical?"
"America, which is known for its self-proclaimed civilization, can launch a genocide against the Indians, who are also part of the human camp, just to plunder land and resources. What's more, it is an alien civilization whose technology and dimensions far exceed those of the human world?"
"When humans can no longer control their own destiny, you ask higher-dimensional life forms to think about whether humans still need to exist, and whether they should survive or perish."
"The result will naturally be destruction."
All of a sudden, the 1 review professors from all over the world launched a heated and serious discussion on the novel ideas put forward in Jiang Hai's book "The Three-Body Problem : Past Events on Earth".
The entire review meeting room.
Suddenly fell into unprecedented chaos.
Who would have thought that a writer who had never been exposed to science fiction would
How could he write such controversial science fiction?
First of all, Jiang Hai subverts the beautiful fantasy of alien civilization in traditional science fiction literature.
Secondly, the cosmological axioms he proposed were not groundless, but well-founded, and each of his arguments could stand up to scrutiny.
This is a time when many experts and scholars are discussing this issue.
The chairman of the judges of the World Science Fiction Writing Contest, Dean Morgan Tristan from the Harvard Graduate School of Astronomy, looked at the author "Jiang Hai"'s name with a solemn expression.
It was as if he was completely convinced.
After a long time, he slowly uttered a sentence:
"This talent is really terrifying"
Before this science fiction writing contest started, no one had even the slightest expectation for Chinese writers who were in a science fiction desert!
Who would have thought that after the science fiction writing competition began.
Jiang Hai will provide the experts and scholars from all over the world at the fastest speed.
One of the biggest shocks?
In addition to his views on extraterrestrial civilizations, The Three-Body Problem 1: Earth's Past contains research on human society and the development of science and technology. Jiang Hai's understanding of these things is also
All are at the forefront of the world!
For example, at the end of the book, there is Operation Guzheng, in which, in order to prevent the traitorous Adventists among humans from contacting the Three-Body Civilization, when the Judgment Day ship was passing through the Panama Canal, a scientific research team led by the protagonist Wang Miao used the nanomaterial "flying blade" made of modern technology to cut it into dozens of thin slices, killing all the crew members without damaging the computer data on the ship.
This technology is very likely to be realized with the rapid development of nanotechnology!
For example, the novel setting of "Sophon" mentioned at the beginning of the book, the so-called Sophon is an intelligent microscopic particle that has been transformed through two-dimensional expansion, and can perform tasks such as communication, reconnaissance, and interference with particle high-energy accelerators. It is precisely because of the existence of the supervising Sophon -
Basic human physics has been blocked for a hundred years!
Because of this, human science and technology have not made any progress in the past few hundred years.
These things, in today's science fiction literature -
It has never appeared before! However, Jiang Hai has integrated all these things in one book.
All reflected?
It is precisely out of respect for talent that one can watch Jiang Hai, who is still creating in the reading room, through the surveillance camera.
Dean Morgan Tristan's eyes flashed with deep fear:
"It was so shocking."
"horrible"
That is, Dean Morgan was lamenting, "Why can someone who has never been exposed to science fiction write such a shocking science fiction work?"
The door suddenly opened.
A female reporter from The New York Times entered the conference room:
"Has the discussion on submission No. 001 been completed?"
"We need the opinion of the jury."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room gathered frantically in the direction of Dean Morgan.
The scene suddenly fell into a long-lost quiet atmosphere.
Dean Morgan handed the review opinions on "The Three-Body Problem" to the reporter from the New York Times:
“The opinions and views of the expert jury are all here.”
The reporter took the review report and asked Dean Morgan:
"What do you want to say about the science fiction book The Three-Body Problem by Chinese writer Jiang Hai?"
He makes no secret of his admiration for The Three-Body Problem.
Dean Morgan was extremely serious, and his expression was solemn:
“The world of science fiction is about to change”
At first, everyone thought that Chunchun was just a cannon fodder in the Chinese writers' delegation participating in this World Science Fiction Writing Competition.
There is no soil for the birth of science fiction literature.
2. There are no outstanding science fiction writers.
If this isn’t cannon fodder, then what is?
This is not a proper water dispenser player!
Unexpectedly, the writer Jiang Hai suddenly appeared
It slapped everyone in the face!
In response to the opinions given by the expert review panel:
【Author: Jiang Hai. 】
[Work: "The Three-Body Problem 1: Past Events on Earth"]
[Work rating: world-class]
Looking at the opinions given by the review guidance group, some people couldn't believe their eyes:
"World Class?!?!?"
"how can that be"
Every "world-class" science fiction work selected by the expert review panel is a great work that is capable of changing the existing science fiction landscape!
Or, it is a hypothesis that has never been proposed before.
Or, it puts forward some quite novel ideas.
Only these views and assumptions can have great enlightenment or contribution to the development of future world science fiction literature.
Only then will it be eligible to be selected as a phenomenal work that has influenced the history of world science fiction!
Now, the competition has been underway for a month and a half, and 35 of the 150 participating authors have submitted their science fiction works.
However, among these thirty-five people, except Jiang Hai——
Only one person's science fiction work was selected as a [national-level] work!
The remaining thirty-four people are all hovering at the lowest level, [city level]. There are even more than ten science fiction writers whose science fiction works have not even reached the lowest level, [city level]?
The organizing committee will uniformly evaluate the science fiction works into four levels:
City level, national level, continental level, world level.
These four levels correspond to:
Third-rate level, second-rate level, first-rate level, top-rate level.
Each participating writer is carefully selected from among millions of people in each country to be the elite who can represent the level of science fiction in their country.
But even so.
In the eyes of the organizing committee, most of these carefully selected science fiction writers are
Are they all third-rate writers who are not up to standard?
According to the 35 writers who have submitted their works so far, only one was rated as second-rate by the organizing committee. Jiang Hai was selected as top-tier by the organizing committee, which is a great honor for other writers.
It’s almost a huge lead!
This result shocked everyone!
It is precisely because of this result that Jiang Hai's science fiction literature "The Three-Body Problem" began to appear in bookstores in various countries in Asia, North America and South America.
"I heard that this "Three-Body Problem" is very good?"
"I want to see what's going on."
For a time, both writers participating in the World Science Fiction Literature Competition and readers standing by the competition began to engage in almost crazy discussions about Jiang Hai's book "The Three-Body Problem".
Times Square street, USA.
The gentleman in a suit holding a copy of The Three-Body Problem was confused:
"I admit that Jiang Hai and I agree on some points."
"I also agree that extraterritorial civilizations are likely to have malicious intentions towards humans on Earth, but."
"Discover and destroy?"
"Discover and destroy?"
"Isn't this a bit too extreme?"
"Even if they discovered the coordinates of Earth's civilization, they wouldn't need to mobilize a large force from one end of the universe to this end to bring an end to Earth's civilization."
Next to him, a girl who looked like a student immediately corrected his point of view:
"I can see you haven't been reading the book carefully?"
"High latitude!"
"Do you know what high latitude is?"
For the Trisolarans——
Humans are nothing but bugs.
When it comes to insects, there is no need to have any concepts of good or evil, any morality, or any secular ideas.
Imagine this scene:
"A child stood in front of an ant nest, watching the ants busy moving. He just saw it, and either out of curiosity or because it was an eyesore, he stepped on the ants and killed and injured them immediately."
Would humans feel sad if they stepped on an ant to death?
Not will.
There is no concept of good and evil here, and not even any thinking is done.
When the gap in civilization is so big that it is completely not on the same level, there is no need to care about the other party's civilization, barbarism, cruelty or kindness.
This is exactly what Jiang Hai wants to express in the book——
Destroying you has nothing to do with you!
"For extraterritorial civilizations, crushing humans is just like crushing a bug. It's just a matter of convenience." At this point, the female student looked at the man in a suit in front of her, "The reason why the Three-Body Civilization mobilized a large force from the other end of the universe to come to this side of the Earth is not because they don't have the ability to crush humans, but because..."
"They want to plunder the Earth's resources!"
"If they didn't want to plunder the habitable environment of the Earth, they would have bombarded us long ago and destroyed the Earth to the point where nothing would be left."
In an atmosphere of heated discussion that is almost fanatical.
A grand and mysterious Three-Body World appears before the eyes of science fiction readers around the world.
Slowly unfold
That was when everyone started a heated discussion about Jiang Hai's "The Three-Body Problem".
The World Science Fiction Writing Contest is on its fiftieth day.
Finally, two science fiction masters who were highly expected finished their creations and walked out of the castle.
When Hayden Christopher from the United States, who is known as the rising star of North American science fiction, and Yoshida Shoichi from Japan, the last disciple of the famous science fiction writer Shinichi Hoshi and known as the god of short science fiction.
When these two famous science fiction writers finished their works and walked out of the venue.
The organizing committee immediately started the process and launched a fierce and complex discussion on the works of these two science fiction masters.
Biltmore Estate, inside the main hall.
There were hundreds of accompanying writers on the scene, all looking nervously at the large LED screen in the center of the venue. The expressions on everyone's faces were different, some were afraid, some were excited.
When the final ratings of the two writers' science fiction works by the organizing committee flashed on the screen -
One, national level.
One, intercontinental level.
As if he was proud, Song Shiqing stood up on the spot and shouted in the direction of the Japanese writers' delegation:
"Heizi, speak!"
"I want to see what you guys have to compare this time."
