Super rational: Reading Liu cixin's "mirror"

Extraordinary philosophical and extraordinary rational

I read big Liu's mirror in one breath last night. Although the mirror is missing from the rural teachers, the Sea of dreams, and the poetry cloud... The imagination that makes me breathless is nothing more than 1.1 points, very familiar with introducing me into depth, and finally resonance with the thinking of big Liu. Reading big Liu's work has a feeling like this. Follow him on a seemingly ordinary road and think it's not surprising. Science Fiction has read so much, what makes me so surprised. The road at the beginning seems very ordinary, and the sci-fi elements involved are also very simple (for example, the sci-fi elements in Country teachers are not just Star Wars, the sci-fi element of ball lightning is not a ball lightning, but the earth cannon is even more ordinary, because big Liu's suspense was good, he had to follow him. The road is still a common road, but I don't know when it will take you away from the secular scenery. Maybe this road gets steep, and you can obviously feel the sharp increase in the slope, extend this steep mountain road, and soon it will reach the top of the hill. You are enjoying the pleasure of hiking and the scenery on the cloud. At this time, big Liu also stopped and began to depict the strange scenes on the cloud. With the help of big Liu, you feel very enjoyable. Suddenly, when Liu got up and walked to a path you didn't notice, you realized that it was far from the top of the hill. There was also a top of the hill outside the top of the hill, and there was a blank spirit on the top of the hill. You have enjoyed the elegant scenery on the cloud, and you have been excited with high spirits. You have been imagining all possible surprises in your mind, but the surprises you have given this mountain road are far beyond your expectation, just one after another, you may want to let go and enjoy it slowly, but you can't wait for it. In this way, novels often stop when you realize that it is far from the top of the hill. Here, you feel that you are still energetic and want to climb up. In a word, you are unwilling to go down the hill and return to the simple secular world.

For "mirror", da Liu chose not a mountain road. First, he took you on some ordinary roads in the world, so that you can find that from the perspective of science fiction, there are also different kinds of scenery on Earth, so that you can find that there are channels to Wonderland on Earth. Inadvertently, you thought you were on Earth, in fact, Liu has come to the Wonderland that only science fiction can create, so he looks down on the Earth in the Wonderland, understanding human nature with extraordinary philosophical thoughts, thinking about history and looking forward to the future with extraordinary rationality. You will find that only in Sci-Fi, after breaking away from the secular world can you view human nature with extraordinary philosophical thoughts and extraordinary rational. The reason why all sentient beings cannot see their own world is little sorrow, little happiness, because they are in the human world.

Let's grade this novel.

The beginning of the novel is exactly what I like, with the atmosphere and calm of Einstein:

"With the in-depth exploration, we found that the quantum effect is only the ripple on the surface of the sea of matter, and it is the shadow of the disturbance of the deeper laws of matter. As these patterns become clearer, the erratic real images in quantum mechanics stabilized again, and the fixed values replaced probability again. In the new cosmic model, I think that the causal chain has disappeared and become clear again."

Such an atmospheric sentence is not excited. So I went on to read down and explore the unknown world with a physicist.

The beginning of a novel is common and even a little vulgar. You can see the title of the first part of the novel:

Hunt down

Criminal and target

Big case

Big Bang

Framed

Apart from the sudden appearance of the "big bang", the first half of the novel looks like a vulgar detective novel. However, a closer look can also find many unique tastes of Liu cixin, such as "stereo ", for example, you can shape the image of a somewhat wise head when you are on the officialdom. At the same time, the novel is constantly laying suspense. It is suspense and confidence in da Liu, which makes me look forward to it.

Finally, there was a "super-string computer, ultimate capacity and image simulation", and the novel began Liu cixin's crazy thoughts. The charm of imagination is gradually presented, and some active waves are constantly emerging:

"Bai Bing was excited and started to dance: 'I am a fan of imagination and I am keen to push everything to the ultimate in imagination. This reminds me of this, what if the simulated image object is the whole universe ?! 'White ice enters a kind of excitement that cannot be oneself, 'Think about it, the whole universe! Grandma's, the universe that runs in a computer's memory! From birth to destruction ...... '".

This passage reminds me of Yi's first poem made by quantum computers in shiyun:

"Ah, ah,

Ah, ah, ah.

Ah, ah,

."

Response:

"Yiyi, who has never spoken, shouted at this moment: 'Wow! What great time should I choose? It is now a masterpiece! The first four words of the first three lines and the fourth line are the excludes of life in the magnificent universe. The last word is the eye of poetry. It is the poet who understands the vast universe, A small sigh of life in the infinite space. '"

At this time, the author and the reader, together with the characters in the novel, are amazed at the magic of the universe!

The most ethereal and interesting part of the novel is the "creation game" section, which is filled with Liu cixin's wit and humor. At the beginning, I smiled at the structure of the superstring computer:

"Bai Bing nodded and opened the box on the desktop. In addition to display devices, there is also a cylindrical container in the box. The host of the super-string computer actually has only one smoke box, but the atomic circuit needs to run at a very low temperature, therefore, the host is immersed in liquid nitrogen of this heat-insulating container."

Only the comparison between the smoke box size host and a heat-insulating container of the box size makes people feel cool, intelligent, and cynical.

Then the characters in the novel, Liu cixin, and the readers started to play the game called "creation. The "simple interface" and "drop-down text box" make this great and ugly software accessible. Prior to simulating our universe, Mr. Liu showed us three interesting Universe:

A cute universe with nearly 10 billion million light years of space and years of time, but only eleven basic particles. Big Liu also described the motion of these eleven particles.

One half is liquid, and the other half is space. The solid planet floated above the spectacular cosmic ocean.

I think the most interesting thing is the 2.5-dimensional universe. "The Universe shows an endless black plane, and there are countless silver-shining straight lines perpendicular to the Black plane. The black, non-thickness two-dimensional plane is the space of the universe; those bright lines perpendicular to the plane are the stars in space. They all have hundreds of millions of light years old, but infinitely fine, only one dimensional ". This universe is so cute!

Finally, a universe like our universe was created. From then on, the novel gradually injects heavy elements into the just-created ethereal artistic conception, gradually bringing us back to reality. This is achieved through a series of perspectives: From the Bright Star Sea to the Milky Way and the fairy seat, the size of magelun, from the galaxy to the solar system, from the sun to the earth, from the beginning of life to the ancient age, from the city of Troy to the west of Asia, from Marco. from polo to Beiyang naval forces, he finally came to the real-world city where the Chinese hero is located.

At this time, the author presents and conflicts the characters under the extreme conditions observed by the image. The down-to-earth song Cheng and his confidence and calmness seem to show that the roles of heads in control are gradually discovering amazing changes. Song Cheng is gradually supported by a strong spirit, "quietly cheering up, shining with two eyes ", however, the head of the company said, "the whole body is shrinking and it seems to have lost the power to support itself and it is not so powerful ". The novel seems to be able to end here: the victory of justice over evil and the victory of light over darkness seem to be an ending that can be accepted by a large number of readers. However, this is too simple. If so, the novel has lost too much meaning, and the human nature is also too simple, Na has ve.

The end of the novel is very dramatic, and it also has the philosophical taste of thinking. In reality, Song chengying won and his head killed himself. From the perspective of human nature, the head is correct from a macro perspective. If all human behaviors are observed by images, there is no darkness in the world, and there is no derailment beyond the mainstream morality, everyone will no longer have a dark and invisible side, then the human nature itself will no longer exist. The water that is too clear will become a pool of dead water. The spirit of water is in it containing microorganisms, bacteria, sand stones, water plants, and feces of fish. Similarly, the same is true for human nature. Because human nature has a dark side and a selfish and narrow side, the spirit and creativity of others will exist. At the end of the novel, the angle of view is far and long, watching the future of mankind after 30 thousand millennial years. It is a world in which the square is no longer cool, literature disappears, art disappears, and technology stops, each person's face is completely consistent. Maybe every reader may have different guesses about the future of the image age. In general, the future of the image depicted by Liu cixin is quite rational. The stability of society requires the maintenance of mainstream morality. The diversity of society and the continuous development of society require the rebellion of the mainstream to varying degrees. In the image era, everything is transparent. Humans either choose the diversity and sustainable development of society, or choose the mainstream morality and social stability. If the former option is selected, the mainstream morality or even morality will no longer exist, and society will be in chaos until it crashes. If the latter option is selected, all rebellion will no longer exist, the creative power and spirit of mankind will be wiped out, and everyone will be helpless. The latter is tantamount to chronic suicide in human society.

Big Liu uses computers as a medium to combine undisciplined imagination, gray reality, and heavy history with future and rational thinking. I don't think this is an accident. I think computers are just something that can combine the highest-end technology and the most daily life of people and turn people's life and ideals in philosophy into reality.
