I'm not mentally ill, I'm a master of a thousand faces!

Chapter 458, Human-Powered Computers, a Shocking Scene!

Tony Leung and Liu Hewei were chatting casually.

At this moment, looking at this "chameleon actor" in the film and television industry, Liu Hewei joked.

"So you're just going to watch the show here from now on?"

"Why not? I think it's fine, since I don't have any acting roles anyway."

"Well"

At this moment, Tony Leung Ka-fai, like a leper, simply stayed on the set of "The Three-Body Problem" and showed no intention of leaving. He seemed to be one of the first viewers of "The Three-Body Problem".

In his view, the script at this point could be considered a true "science fiction" script, or even an excellent one.

Unfortunately, his "acting addiction" was not fully realized, which is a pity.

And the actors who felt the connection with Li Yun while acting together.

It's probably Ye Wenjie.

At this point, only Ye Wenjie and Evans had actually "contacted" the Trisolaran Li Yun.

The director off-screen, the "alien" on-screen.

The two of them weren't in a good mental state at the moment. Firstly, they were completely immersed in their roles, and secondly, the Li Yun in front of them made them unable to distinguish him from the real person.

Make them confused and unable to distinguish.

One moment he is Li Yun, the director, and the next he is the alien life that gives them fervent inspiration.

The signal from beyond that sky symbolized the redemption of the Trisolarans.

At this moment, Zhang Jingchu was inexplicably and passionately obsessed, with a kind of fanaticism that ran deep in her bones.

Because the role suited her so well.

Even Tony Leung Ka-fai was a little worried that he might get too caught up in the role, given his family background and years of experience in the entertainment industry, having seen many unsavory women.

It's undeniable that this industry isn't as clean as one might imagine.

The reason why people like Liu Qianqian look so clean is simply because they come from noble families. In this circle, they don't need to fear anyone. They only need to be themselves, and they will have a constant stream of resources.

Their beauty is not a sin, nor a burden, but a powerful resource and proof of their innate nobility.

How ironic! Zhang Jingchu has the same things, but those same things bring different consequences, resulting in completely different growth processes.

This experience and feeling completely became the nourishment for Zhang Jingchu, the driving force behind her acting skills, and thus shaped this character.

This actor, Evans, is a veteran supporting actor on Hong Kong's TVB, known for playing British officials. He is also a vegetarian and an environmentalist, making his profession a perfect fit.

They also have their own beliefs and worship their own gods.

At this time, Li Yun's Trisolaran image perfectly matched the feeling of a god.

Perhaps this god was their last straw, and this feeling of clinging to a lifeline gave rise to a fervent sense of fanaticism, a fanaticism that seemed capable of becoming...

This transformed into their worship of the Trisolarans.

They were immersed in it, while Tony Leung and Lau Ho-wai unfortunately couldn't experience that deep-seated, addictive feeling.

What a pity.

However, being able to appreciate the excellence of the script was also a pleasant surprise.

For Tony Leung Ka-fai, this is the first time he has stayed here solely because of the excellence of the script.

For the protagonist, Wang Miao.

Under Ye Wenjie's guidance and with Shen Yufei's help, he finally entered the edge of the ETO organization, a holographic game called the Three-Body Problem.

In the original Three-Body Problem TV series, almost everything was done with special effects.

It can support the rendering of the Three-Body Problem game.

"Half real footage, half computer-generated special effects rendering"

At this point, Li Yun made his own decision.

Most of it is done with special effects, but real actors still have to appear here.

Li Yun is about to produce a result that is even more stunning than the original Three-Body Problem.

Even more breathtaking cinematic spectacle.

"Welcome to the Three-Body Problem game."

While Li Yun was logging into the Three-Body Problem game, Xie Qingya also arrived at the scene.

"Should we go and call Director Li?"

"No need, I'll just watch from the side." Xie Qingya looked around and said, "Why are they all wearing ancient costumes? Is there some kind of time-travel element in the costumes?"

She subconsciously felt that this tasted like a hodgepodge.

Based on Xie Qingya's past experience, this kind of hodgepodge is the very beginning of a bad movie. By adding all sorts of seemingly cool but ultimately dubious elements, it often ends up in a state of extreme chaos.

Some elements simply cannot be combined.

The combination of period costumes and science fiction themes seems to foreshadow a wild intellectual explosion.

I'm a little worried about what the final product will look like.

However, just as Xie Qingya was about to say something, she suddenly remembered that she was there as an audience member and had nothing to do with Li Yun's Three-Body Problem.

There was a sense of loss.

Yes, it was disappointment, not despair. She didn't have the right to express her disappointment to Li Yun, since Li Yun wasn't her subordinate, and their relationship wasn't one of subordination.

But clearly, she didn't feel so good, she didn't have a very pleasant feeling.

Perhaps, as everyone says, in the absence of an environment conducive to original content creation, choosing to monetize one's fame and scam subsidies is not necessarily a bad thing.

At least this was a rational decision.

Perhaps this is what it means to succumb to circumstances.

No?

Xie Qingya even preferred that this was just a burst of talent, rather than a sign of despair and resignation. If it was just a burst of talent, the result would be nothing more than one or two failures, but if it was resignation from the heart, then everything would truly be over.

"After watching this scene, you'll probably know whether it's a mental breakdown or just plain slacking off."

Xie Qingya, however, calmed herself down.

Watch what happened next.

Let's see how he decides to film it.

On this desolate land, Wang Miao and Shi Qiang transformed into two ancient people.

Dressed in ancient costumes, they found themselves in a VR game. They logged into the Three-Body Problem game to search for the truth.

This is probably the technology that only the Trisolarans possess, enabling them to create such realistic VR.

At this point, they encountered two people. One of them told them that this was the Warring States period and that he was King Wen of Zhou, while the other was a follower of King Wen of Zhou.

As for what King Wen of Zhou, an NPC, said, not only King Wen of Zhou, but also King Zhou of Shang are here; the timeline and characters are all out of place.

This is the game, and this is the game's background.

The two NPCs said that their destination was Chaoge City. They carried a huge hourglass on their backs and said that the current era was called the Chaotic Era, and it was impossible to judge time using the sun.

Wang Miao thought the sun would rise soon, but when it did rise, it set not long after.

Shi Qiang and Wang Miao traveled with King Wen of Zhou through the vast desert for two days without seeing the sun. But then, the sun finally rose.

However, the NPC named King Wen of Zhou told him to quickly hide.

At this moment, Wang Miao and Shi Qiang both learned one thing.

In this chaotic spacetime, there is no normal alternation of day and night, nor the distinction between spring, summer, autumn, and winter. In this chaotic era, the sun's movement is like a wild dog that has broken free of its reins.

There is no pattern to it; the earth is either scorching hot or freezing cold, making it completely unsuitable for life.

Aside from the Chaotic Era, no one knows when the Eternal Era, where life can survive, will appear or how long it will last.

This is the significance of the Three-Body Problem game, and the main storyline of the game requires players to use their intelligence and comprehension to grasp the laws governing the sun's movement and even decipher these strange physical laws.

"Are they performing without props? They're incredibly skilled!"

Xie Qingya was somewhat shocked at this moment, because Peng Yuyan and Liu Hewei were performing without props.

Since there were no physical items, there were only costumes, props, and accessories.

This is a very advanced technique, and it's not surprising that Liu Hewei can do it, after all, his achievements as an actor are extraordinary, and his basic skills are extremely profound. But how old is Eddie Peng? How can she handle this!

However, at this point, what is visible to the naked eye is...

The profound sense of conviction they displayed in this performance without props suggests that this scene truly unfolded before their eyes.

What was missing was something that they, as bystanders, could not see.

"That's amazing. They actually chose to express it in this way. Distorted time and space, chaotic eras, using this method to metaphorically represent the history of extraterrestrials. It's really interesting."

Leung Ka-fai stood to the side, looking quite interested, as if he knew a lot about it.

Incredibly, even as an observer, he seemed to understand everything perfectly.

The actors around them also looked quite serious.

Only Xie Qingya remained bewildered, as if she were the only one present who didn't understand. She genuinely couldn't comprehend what the scene was about, but she did understand one thing. This group of actors knew exactly what they were doing and what they were acting, possessing an unparalleled sense of conviction.

Even if there's nothing in front of them—no, not nothing at all, but the whole world before them!

King Zhou lived inside a giant pyramid because only in this way could he withstand the harsh cold and scorching heat of the outside world.

At this time, King Wen of Zhou came to advise King Zhou of Shang, saying that he could predict the chaotic era and the constant era. Then King Wen of Zhou explained his theory, which used the doctrine of Yin and Yang and Heaven and Earth.

King Zhou believed him, and as a result, he failed. King Wen of Zhou did not predict the arrival of the next era and was burned alive by King Zhou.

After the first catastrophe of the era ended, Wang Miao walked through the dark night filled with heavy snow, accompanied by the followers of King Wen of Zhou.

The temperature suddenly dropped, and ice flowers began to float in the air.

No, this isn't ice, but dry ice formed from condensed carbon dioxide. Then the snowflakes turned into solidified oxygen and nitrogen. The atmosphere was disappearing at absolute zero, and the night sky became exceptionally clear, with the stars like a silver fire.

A line of text appeared in the night sky.

This night lasted forty-eight years. Civilization No. 137 was destroyed in the bitter cold. This civilization evolved to the Warring States period level, but the seeds of civilization still remain. It will restart and begin another unpredictable evolution in the Trisolaran world.

"These are the disasters that the Trisolarans have experienced. And I want to witness these disasters."

At this moment, Peng Yuyan could no longer distinguish whether he was Wang Miao or himself; he couldn't wait to enter the Three-Body game.

This confusing feeling brought him to a climax.

I never knew acting could be so exhilarating. I never knew there was such a magnificent world before my eyes, a world far removed from reality, illusory and beautiful, with all those thrills feeling as if they were right in front of me.

I'm addicted to acting. In the Three-Body world, immersing myself in the scenes of the Three-Body events, that feeling is just so damn exhilarating!

I've been immersed in stories before.

This is the first time I've been immersed in this world.

Forget about me now, forget about who I am as an actor, and focus wholeheartedly on being Wang Miao, a Wang Miao who seeks the unknown truth.

Inspired once again by astrophysics, he entered the game once more.

He arrived at Civilization 183, which was medieval Europe, and the actors changed from ancient costumes to Gothic style.

Here, Wang Miao encountered Aristotle and Galileo, and the ruler was Pope Gregory.

Galileo introduces his model of the universe here.

Galileo said that Mozi was merely a metaphysician disguised as a scientist who never took his own observations seriously, while he himself was different, having built a model based on rigorous deductions through extensive observation and experimentation.

In the observation and experiment.

Wang Miao, however, also agreed with Galileo. The Pope then sarcastically asked Wang Miao, "Did you also bring a perpetual calendar?"

This is a sarcastic remark comparing Wang Miao to King Wen of Zhou, making him seem ridiculous.

In fact, Wang Miao was saying that the essence of the Three-Body world is that the reason why the sun's movement is irregular is because there are three suns in this world. Under the influence of their mutual gravitational pull, the author cannot predict the Three-Body motion.

An era is a period in time when a planet orbits a sun.

When another or two suns come within a certain distance, their gravity will pull the planets away from the suns they orbit.

This is the Chaotic Era!

Ultimately, Civilization 183 was destroyed. The Pope was foolish; he did not believe that Wang Miao could observe the patterns between the Chaotic Era and the Constant Era.

But the game told him.

The world is still destroyed in three days, but this civilization has successfully revealed the basic structure of the universe, and civilization will take a leap forward.

The next time you enter the game.

The people Wang Miao encountered were now Newton and Leibniz. This time, he had the foundation of Newton's three laws of motion, plus the powerful mathematical tool of calculus.

Solving the Three-Body Problem will be just around the corner.

But this requires a massive amount of computation, and even if mathematicians around the world worked non-stop until the end of the world, they still wouldn't be able to finish.

However, when an NPC named von Neumann said that he had traveled all the way to the East to find Qin Shi Huang, it was to solve this problem.

Lend him three thousand soldiers.

Wang Miao laughed. 3000 soldiers who understand calculus?

At this moment, Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, sat high on his throne. The Qin Shi Huang from the TV series "A Step into the Past" made a cameo appearance as an NPC on this throne, and he spoke with a fierce expression.

Let me see what tricks you have up your sleeve.

So he summoned three soldiers.

The two soldiers responsible for signal input are called Input 1 and Input 2, while the one responsible for signal output is called Output. They stand in a triangle, with Output at the top and Input 1 and Input 2 at the bottom.

Holding red and white balls, red represents 0 and white represents 1.

"If they all hold up white lights, you hold up a white light. Otherwise, you hold up a red light. There are three possible scenarios: one red light for entry 1, two red lights for entry 2, one red light for entry 1, and one white light for entry 2."

At this moment, under the command of Shaanxi Qinqiang opera, the soldiers held up white and red lanterns.

Three soldiers can train for an hour to assemble a door component, assemble 10 million such door components, and then assemble the door components into a system.

This system is fucking called a computer.

"Ready!"

"By imperial decree!"

"Computer starts!"

Daqin No. 1 computer.

The scene before my eyes is a human-computer interface.

It left everyone utterly shocked and chilled to the bone.

Although Xie Qingya didn't understand the script of the Three-Body Problem series, the scene of the human-computer array in front of her still made her scalp tingle. So much so that her usually rich vocabulary failed her in order to express the shock.

"damn it"

What kind of incredible imagination could come up with something like this!
