A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 341 The world trembles! The ultimate personal heroism! This is the glorious era of Jiang Hai!

new work time.

Bustling city center.

On the LED screen that symbolizes the center of the world, news about the sequel to The Three-Body Problem began to appear:

[“The Three-Body Problem 2: The Dark Forest” is a phenomenal work that has subverted the history of modern science fiction! ]

[It solved the century-old problem that has troubled mankind for half a century, the Fermi Paradox]

At first, when the Dark Forest Principle appeared on the promotional page of The Three-Body Problem, many people still dismissed it:
"Are you kidding me? You're engaging in this kind of false propaganda again?"

"They keep shouting about breakthroughs, breakthroughs here and there, but in the end it's just a gimmick to promote the new book."

Just when some readers were questioning.

The Harvard Academy of Sciences and the Stanford Institute for Astronomy, two Ivy League institutions in the United States, have officially vouched for the theory proposed in The Three-Body Problem: The Dark Forest:

"Although, the Dark Forest Law is just a hypothesis."

"but!"

"It is indeed the best hypothetical theory so far that can explain why there have been no aliens on Earth and the Fermi paradox."

For the vast majority of ordinary people, you don't have to believe what experts say.

But for top universities like Harvard and Stanford, their statements are still quite credible and influential!
Inside the bookstore newsstand where people come and go.

Looking at Harvard's reputation as a century-old prestigious university, they began to vouch for Jiang Hai's Dark Forest Theory:
"This is the best explanation for the Fermi paradox so far."

In an instant, quite a number of readers suddenly realized:
"This time, I'm afraid it's really more than just a gimmick."

If we say that "The Three-Body Problem 1: Past Events on Earth" emphasizes "collectivism", the whole book emphasizes that civilization is a whole. If an individual wants to survive in the whole, he can only do his best to maintain his own civilization.

Then the concept emphasized in "The Three-Body Problem 2: The Dark Forest" is completely opposite to the previous one -

Pure personal heroism!
In "The Three-Body Problem 2: The Dark Forest", the protagonist [Luo Ji] created by Jiang Hai takes pure personal heroism to the extreme!

The first volume of the Three-Body Problem states at the end of the book:

[The coordinates of the Earth are exposed. The Trisolaran fleet sets sail from the Trisolaran world, planning to arrive at the Earth from the distant Trisolaran star field in 450 years. In order to prevent the Earth's technology from not experiencing explosive technological innovation during the 450 years of the journey, the Trisolarans specially dispatched intelligent particles to block the basic physics of mankind.]

Knowing that the Trisolaran fleet is on its way to Earth and the world is at risk of destruction, humans -

Of course it is impossible to just sit there and wait for death!
By deciphering the messages between the Adventists (human traitors) and the Trisolaran world, the Earth Planetary Council learned that although the Trisolarans were technologically superior to humans by more than one dimension, this was true, but the Trisolarans also had their own flaws.

The Trisolarans have transparent thoughts!

In other words, they don’t lie!

"This setting is quite interesting?"

Musk, CEO of Starlink and a loyal reader of The Three-Body Problem, is himself an extremely crazy science fiction enthusiast. In order to realize his dream of enabling humans to migrate to other planets, Musk spends a lot of money on rockets every year.

There are tens of billions of them!
Unlike Zuckerberg's title of "alien", even Musk himself strongly identifies himself with the title of "real-life Iron Man".

As a science fiction enthusiast, his mind is always fantasizing:

If one day, alien civilization invades the earth, humans will really face the risk of extinction.

How should human beings change their destiny?
This confusion that has troubled him for many years was finally answered today in the book "The Three-Body Problem":

[Since Sophon can understand human language, read any book and computer stored information, the Earth has no secrets from the Three Body, but Sophon cannot monitor human thoughts. In order to gain a strategic advantage, the United Nations launched the Wallfacer Project and appointed four Wallfacers.]

[They don’t need to explain their plans to the outside world. They can mobilize huge amounts of resources to realize their plans, and they don’t need to explain the reasons. They are only responsible for themselves for everything they do, and their ultimate goal is only one——]

【Protect the Earth's civilization! 】

"Wallfacer?" Musk flipped through the pages of the book in his hand while exclaiming with interest, "Interesting."

“It’s really fun”

As a country that advocates personal heroism, the United States is similar to the profession of "Wallfacer" in the book "The Three-Body Problem", that is, it is similar to this kind of drama of relying on one's own strength to ultimately defend the earth's civilization.

Very popular in American society!

In the past, such plots would only appear in Hollywood blockbusters, but who would have thought.
Such a plot actually appeared in The Three-Body Problem?

It actually appears in a science fiction book?
Unlike the straightforward popcorn movies of Hollywood, it is famous for its fierce fighting scenes.
Want to save the world?

Then just do it from beginning to end!

The personal heroism in "The Three-Body Problem" is more inclined towards a battle of wits. To be more precise, it is a combination of science fiction and a battle of wits.

Every step of it has a theoretical basis.

Every plot of it is supported by science fiction assumptions.

Musk considers himself a science fiction enthusiast, and has dabbled in science fiction literature, which is now very famous in the world literary world.

However, even though Musk has been reading books for nearly 20 years and has read hundreds or even thousands of science fiction books, he has never seen any science fiction novel like "The Three-Body Problem" -

As if it were free, science fiction research settings keep popping up one after another?
Sophon, Ladder Plan, Guzheng Plan, Three-Body Game, Fluidless Engine, Thought Stamp, Black Domain, Ball Lightning, Quantized Ghost, Chain of Suspicion, Dark Forest Law.
Each of these science fiction ideas, or more precisely, science fiction hypotheses, can be applied to any science fiction writer.

Each point can be written into a book on its own!
But Jiang Hai has made these novel settings that have never appeared in the history of science fiction
Gathered together into a book?

All gathered into this short article of 200,000 words?
While readers were still marveling at the visual shock brought by "Smart Son", the next second, something called "Thought Stamp" appeared. Just as everyone was still sighing: "Implanting negative or optimistic ideas into people's subconscious can fundamentally change their behavior? Science fiction can actually be written like this?"

The next moment, novel and exciting science fiction concepts such as fluidless engines, quantized ghosts, and ball lightning suddenly appeared before readers' eyes.
"If I didn't know Jiang Hai was in the United States right now, competing in the World Science Fiction Essay Contest," Musk said slowly, as if extremely shocked, "I would have thought that he was running out of time and his life was coming to an end."

It is hard to imagine that there would be a science fiction writer who could integrate so many novel science fiction concepts into a book of just 200,000 or 300,000 words?
The most important thing is that these novel science fiction settings are not just boring and thrown out randomly, but
Almost perfectly integrated into the plot?

Looking at these novel plot settings, Musk was shocked and puzzled at the same time:
"What is he going to do?"

"Are you planning to stop writing after finishing this book?"

Don’t worry about why Jiang Hai bundled so many novel settings, which are enough to subvert modern scientific research literature, into the content of a book.

all in all!
If I were to use one word to describe the plot of "The Three-Body Problem 2: The Dark Forest", that word would be -

wonderful!

It's fucking brilliant!

"It would take an ordinary writer a lifetime to come up with these novel science fiction settings!"

“They may not even be able to write it in their lifetime.”

"Only this river and sea!"

"It only took him one month to write these novel settings"

This world has never lacked truly rich people. They live comfortably and spend money like water. We all like to call this kind of people "super rich".

Obviously, based on Musk’s net worth of $400 billion, he should be considered one of the richest people among the rich?
this world
It should be hard to find someone richer than him?

When we learned that Jiang Hai was participating in this world science fiction writing competition, the final score of the book would require the readers' voting support.

Musk directly took the lead in becoming the number one fan of "The Three-Body Problem", or more precisely, the number one brother of Jiang Hai:

"In the next month, buy me the brightest LED screen around Times Square, and play the personal information of the writer Jiang Hai and the information about the Three-Body series of books in a loop 24 hours a day."

"I don't care what country Jiang Hai is a writer from!"

"I don't care who will be the final winner of this world science fiction writing competition!"

"If the world's science fiction literature wants to move forward, cross-century phenomenal science fiction literature like The Three-Body Problem should not be buried!" "I want more people to know about this book"

Same time period.

Not only the LED screens in Times Square began to flash detailed reports about "The Three-Body Problem: The Dark Forest".

Musk's social media platform Twitter.

Zuckerberg's Facebook.

Everyone started to promote Jiang Hai's new work written in the World Science Fiction Writing Competition.

The World Science Fiction Writing Competition should focus on the word "world". This competition brings together talented science fiction writers from all over the world. However, as the competition progresses, this world-class science fiction writing competition has become more and more popular.
It actually turned into Jiang Hai’s personal show?

Indeed, this science fiction essay contest has brought together talented contestants from all over the world, and has also produced a number of high-quality science fiction literature books.
but!

These science fiction and literature works that could have been rated as "excellent" in the past, turned out to be so
Vulnerable?
Yes, it really can only be described as vulnerable.

Not to mention the Dark Forest Theory proposed in the sequel to "The Three-Body Problem", which provides a theoretical explanation for the Fermi Paradox that has troubled mankind for half a century.

Just the other science fiction concepts mentioned in the book "The Three-Body Problem" -

Water droplets, black domain, weather weapons, two-dimensional foil, dimensionality reduction attack.
Can't words describe the shock these things bring to readers?

It is hard to imagine that in the 21st century, among other science fiction writers competing with Jiang Hai.

Some writers are still using the weapons from Star Wars 20 years ago to describe future wars:
"Laser sword."

"Laser gun."

"Laser beam."

But once Jiang Hai appeared, he told you directly:

"High latitude!"

"Do you know what high latitude is?"

"If humans go to war with alien civilizations in the future and still use knives and guns, how low-level would that be?"

"This is going to make people laugh out loud."

In the book "The Three-Body Problem", Jiang Hai introduced the concept of "meteorological weapons" for the first time. The so-called "meteorological weapons" refers to a series of weapons that use modern scientific and technological means to artificially create natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, heavy rains, mountain torrents, avalanches, high temperatures, aerosols, etc., to transform the battlefield environment and achieve military goals.

Just imagine that when war breaks out in the future, humans can casually launch a weather weapon into the sky of an enemy country.

It immediately triggered an unprecedented tsunami.
In other words, using complete scientific research instruments, launch a meteorological weapon towards the center of the earth in another country's territory.

This directly triggered a 9.0 magnitude man-made earthquake.
Is this kind of scene worthy of being described as a landslide?

The ability to summon wind and rain in the past has become a reality in the book "The Three-Body Problem". When the war scenes in "The Three-Body Problem" are compared with other science fiction books,
Who is strong and who is weak can be judged immediately!
"Similar meteorological weapons are just child's play in the Three-Body Problem. The most powerful and shocking weapon in the book is none other than the thin, seemingly harmless weapon of the laws of the universe launched by a high-dimensional civilization at a low-dimensional civilization—"

"Two-dimensional foil!"

Three-dimensional space is composed of three dimensions: up and down, left and right, and front and back.

The function of the two-dimensional foil is to compress the planet in three-dimensional space into a thin piece of flat paper, thereby achieving the effect of genocide.

The moment the two-dimensional foil comes into contact with the three-dimensional universe, one of the dimensions will change from macroscopic expansion to curling up, thus forcing the three-dimensional universe and all the matter in it to collapse into the two-dimensional universe and "melt" in the two-dimensional space into an absolute plane that only has length and area but is deprived of the concept of volume.

Of course, in "The Three-Body Problem 2: The Dark Forest", the weapon "Two-Dimensional Foil" did not appear. Jiang Hai simply revealed the function of "Two-Dimensional Foil" through the hands of the Three-Body Civilization.
but!

Even this simple mention is enough to make readers who have never been exposed to these novel concepts feel an incomparable shock!

For world science fiction, look to America.

American science fiction, look at the rivers and seas.

The news that Jiang Hai had single-handedly made a big splash in the North American science fiction literary world spread like wildfire around the world.

Even the United States, which is known as a "science fiction powerhouse", can't suppress Jiang Hai?

When the news that Jiang Hai dominated the American science fiction literary world spread to Japan, which is also considered a "science fiction powerhouse".

Suddenly, quite a number of Japanese science fiction writers were in despair:
"real."

"Is there no one who can suppress Jiang Hai anymore?!?"

In Asia, Japan has always been regarded as the number one cultural power in Asia!

When it comes to [literature], Japan is definitely the Asian region.

A unique existence!

Before the emergence of the writer Jiang Hai, no country or author could shake the position of Japanese literature in Asia!
not even one!

However, after Jiang Hai appeared
First, with the work "No Longer Human", he made a direct breakthrough in the Japanese literary world. Then, the "Decadence" literary genre that Jiang Hai created single-handedly caused an unprecedented sensation in Japan!
Then, with the movie "The Old Man and the Sea", his popularity swept across Asia.
Japanese writers, feeling the impact on their legitimate status, began to comfort themselves:
"Jiang Hai is a genius in the field of traditional literature!"

“How many writers have won the Nebula Award and influenced the history of world science fiction? We, Japan, are the undisputed powerhouse in the field of science fiction.”

Unexpectedly, the words that were meant to comfort myself were not even finished.

Jiang Hai directly joined hands with a book "The Three-Body Problem" to launch an unprecedented and fierce impact on the existing science fiction landscape in the world.
“Not even one Japanese contestant stood out!”

"On the other hand, Jiang Hai is directly participating in the world science fiction essay competition."

"A unique one?"

For an ordinary writer, being able to write a science fiction book rated as "world-class" is enough to return home with honor and bring glory to the family.

But this river
Not only did he write one book, he even wrote two in a row?
Even better than the last?

One better than the last?

As the influence of "The Three-Body Problem 2: The Dark Forest" began to spread wildly from North America to Asia.

An extremely powerless feeling suddenly arose from my heart:

"How can we fight this?"

Tokyo, Waseda University.

Professor's office.

Haruki Murakami, a famous Japanese writer, is holding a copy of "The Three-Body Problem: The Dark Forest" and reading it carefully.

I don’t know how much time passed.

It was as if he was completely convinced.

He put down the book in his hand, then raised his head and looked at the professors who were studying Jiang Hai in the conference hall:

"It is our honor to lose to such a work."

'It's not a shame'

That is, the Japanese side launched a massive discussion on Jiang Hai's newly published science fiction literature.

United States, Presidential Palace.

Ms. Victoria, the general manager of the World Science Fiction Writing Competition, held a real-time updated statistical report of [Contestant Support Rate] in her hand. She looked at the elegant white man in front of her with a very regretful tone and a little regret:
"Mr. Alex, we are deeply sorry to inform you--"

"Jiang Hai, I really can't hold it back anymore"
