Just finished reading Liu Cixin's "three body" first-the Earth past, feel this book is not bad. Can see, the author is also an astronomy enthusiast, also know some physics, but also good at writing, is really a cultural person, I admire. But I feel that there are some limitations in sci-fi, and I think there will be better works to come.
The three bodies brought me a lot of touches, I am very difficult to use the full text to express my thoughts, so can only blunt the sub-article written out, there is no logical order, think of where to write.
1. The description of the alien civilization around the three sun, the irregular three-body movement, the Planet of extraterrestrial civilization to go through the constant era and chaotic era, chaotic era is not timed long cold long night and hot sun roast alternately appear, aliens to "dehydration storage", and the eternal era is the same as the Earth, Daily day alternating fixed, more suitable for development. Alien civilizations have developed slowly in this tormented climate, and the only purpose of civilization is to survive, because the extremes of climate in a chaotic era can be a time when the civilization of this planet may be wiped out. Compared to such a civilization, the earth is simply "paradise", the appropriate climate and water resources, the most important is the stability of the space environment, it is these factors, just bred the human emotional civilization, compared to the three on the planet, survival can not be guaranteed, food and clothing difficult, cruised ritual righteousness. Earth, is the only living space for mankind, the evolution and evolution of thousands of years, just born human such a species, can adapt to the Earth's environment, any other planet, is not the fate of mankind, so the protection of the Earth, is the way out of human development.
2. The article describes that scientists have launched a number of information to the universe, including the blessings and aspirations of mankind, hope to establish contact with extraterrestrial civilization, build a better homeland and peaceful development. However, the information was captured 4 light-years outside the three-star galaxy of civilization, the three bodies are ready to emigrate to Earth, sent a powerful spacecraft to invade the earth, it is expected to reach the Earth for 450 years, extraterrestrial civilization is ahead of the Earth's human civilization, but human civilization in the next 450 years in the future more than the current trend of three civilizations So three of people feared that the spacecraft would be wiped out and exposed to human counter-attacks on the planet's location. So three of people began to collude with the extremists on Earth to kill the technology of the people of the Earth and keep the current backward state. This reminds me of the Chai Jing of the "Dome" that was filmed in the last few days, in an environmentalist cloak, looking at its own interests and trying to achieve some ulterior purpose. Now there is a kind of people called "environmental terrorists", you cut a tree is not right, you pick a little coal, they do not allow any damage to nature, issued some "poison prescription." In fact, the intention of environmental protection is good, but if because of the extreme blindly pursuit of environmental protection and lost some of the basic development rights should be, it is not appropriate.
3. NASA announced the discovery of another Earth, 1400 light-years away, listening to the very iffy, now see the New earth is 1400 years ago, that is, relative to the Tang Dynasty of our Earth, the real appearance of the Earth. Seeing this news, I feel more calm, there is a lively mentality, because we are 1400 light-years apart, I think at least for a few years, is not see any breakthrough progress of this project, even with the Earth extremely similar, human want to emigrate, still difficult, After all, human beings have evolved for thousands of years in a particular environment like Earth, only to be able to adapt to the survival of the Earth, let alone to other planets. Furthermore, what is the purpose of immigration? Largely because of the depletion of the Earth's resources, the Earth's carrying capacity is difficult to withstand the growing human development, even if the successful migration, if the human still follow such a set of development patterns, the new Earth will be destroyed, to continue to develop new colonies, of course, these are something. In the wormhole what the space-time technology has not yet reached a breakthrough, human dormancy technology has not progressed, the space shuttle long-distance travel to achieve sustainable energy, even the solar system, humans are out, let alone 1400 light-years away from the new Earth, and now even exchange, you come to me, all to 2800, At that time mankind may have been extinct. Therefore, it is more to explain, do not have too many illusions, the earth is the only homeland of mankind.
4. At the end of the article, I agree with a point of view. Three-body civilization temporarily ahead of human civilization, called Human as "worm", in their eyes, human is like a low-end kind of biological, and our eyes of ant cockroaches. However, the author finally inspired the idea of an optimistic and hard-working faction like me. One of the protagonist of the text with sadness came to a field, pointing to the sky flying locusts, said: "Look at these insects, you think that the development of human civilization and the gap between the locust large or three people with large gap?" "The result is that humans will not be able to eliminate these insects, because, life, would find a way out (here quoted in the Jurassic World described in the word dinosaur).
5. This slot, the book is written by people, material decision-making consciousness, the author was born in China in the 60 's, experienced the Cultural Revolution, this book also has a great deal of content of the Cultural Revolution, to tell the truth, personal views, a bit disgusting, no meaning, I am not very fond of. Can also be seen, the author of this book, the computer technology is not as well developed, when the universal use of integrated circuits, the author each time to describe the integrated circuit, with a sense of pride, especially the Qin Shihuang led his 30 million soldiers, analog and or not door and so on integrated circuit original, the scene shook, Seems to represent a high-end technology. It is hard for the author to imagine that, in a few years time, the integrated circuit has been almost eliminated by the rapid development of the era. It also shows that any person who writes science fiction is inseparable from his existing knowledge of acceptance, which is based on the extension of development. I would like to see more imaginative works, less limited to the present. But don't go too far, I think the last Michiko is a bit over the head, three people can transform the proton into "Michiko", on the earth launched two unseen Michiko, can listen to anything on the earth arbitrarily, and can be in the human retina structure of the image, but also can change the human received cosmic rays.
