Rereading "The Three-Body Problem"

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with plot when I read books. This is why I could read all Jin Yong’s martial arts novels while hiding under the covers with a flashlight. Novels with storylines are very attractive to me, and even after reading them, they still resonate with me. But I couldn't extricate myself, and felt that my real life was a kind of nothingness, but the reality was in the book. I really reached the state of "Zhuang Sheng's dream is obsessed with butterflies". As I grew up, I don’t know when I started to become less obsessed with the plot. In the past few years, I watched "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", "My Years as a Taoist Priest", and "Descendants of Maoshan", which all rely on bizarre plots to attract attention. I actually didn't finish the book. After reading it, I forgot to read it again. If the plot of a book is described as flesh and blood, maybe I don't like eating meat anymore and fall in love with chewing bones. I think it's worth reading. After reading it, it seems that it doesn’t matter whether there is a plot or not, so I always feel that my reading taste has gone astray. Instead, I re-read "The Three-Body Problem" this time. I was attracted by Liu's plot and read it in one sitting. Slowly recall the author's unconstrained thinking, incubation after the Expo, unique writing style and delicate emotions.

? I still remember that when dusk fell, every time I had a few drinks and sat in a small bar on Wenlin Street, Brother Yuanjia would tell me the story with great energy in his unique Lijiang accent. "Laws of the Dark Forest" ("Laws of the Dark Forest"), one can imagine the plot's step-by-step advancement, vague foreshadowing, and inadvertent writing, aimlessly describing each item from east to west with a hammer and a stick. The seemingly calm stream is so slow, but it seems still. You even forget that the stream is still flowing in one direction, slowly converging, until the stream merges into a river, and the river merges into a river. When the final picture When I saw it, when a shocking and impeccable theory appeared, people's nerves were stimulated. It was that kind of performance. Brother Yuanjia, I am the same as you!

? It is said that it was a re-read, but even the notes I took casually at that time have no impression at all. Ye Wenjie gave Luo Ji a preliminary introduction to the axioms of cosmological sociology, and I wrote: Non-Euclidean geometry also exists. If we break this axiom and continue to deduce whether we can get another "relativistic level" "cosmological sociology"; like this, through The article is full of thoughts at that time: "Weird description, as if after reflection, romantic and profound thoughts will crash to the ground, and the noble inheritance of the family will crash to the ground." "Mixed with poems and formulas, noisy The Earth and the Three Bodies Listening with Holding Breath", "The snow-capped mountains in the distance, the lake in front of me, the grasslands and forests beside the lake, the fragile beauty, I think of Lijiang, and everything I see when riding a horse." There are more explanations, and I can no longer understand them now, "I came, loved her, gave her a star, and left. Live for beauty, although most of this life is not for This purpose", "Winter is the season of thinking, after spring plowing and autumn harvest, leisurely thinking around the stove", "I also had this idea when I saw the genius on the left and the madman on the right, how to look at us with the eyes of a stone". Others are just horizontal lines, "Mom, I will become a firefly", "I am becoming death, the destroyer of the world", "I love you, what does it have to do with you", "Can I become a firefly?" What is fished out from the sea of ??memories are fragments, and the fragments become rarer. Did he really go to middle school? Did he really have a first love? Can you find it occasionally in the fragmented memories? With a few clear scratches, he knew that something had indeed happened. The details were vivid in his mind, but the feeling had disappeared without a trace." "men always remember love because of romance only"...

? Da Liu has a kind of stubbornness. Even if he imagines, he must add a fireplace. That needs to create a scene for appreciation. Life cannot lack a sense of ritual. Use the firelight of the fireplace to match the eyes of the sunset. A good sunset eye, with a kind of wine, That's not drinking in the mouth. There is also moonlight. I once suspected that Da Liu found it from Tang poetry. He found it from "Mountain Moon Shines on the Piano", from "Willow Tops on the Moon", from "The Bright Moon on the Sea", from "Moonrise". "Jingshan Bird", he said that the moonlight in the east can calm people's hearts. He said that the moonlight can make people three-dimensional. It is best to match the bamboo forest under the moonlight, because it is like a black paper-cut painting hanging under the starlight, and the melodious chirping of insects and birds , when the wind blows through the bamboo forest, the stars in the night sky flash rapidly among the bamboo leaves, making people feel that the chorus of summer insects seems to be emanating from those stars.

? People who have read books such as "Traveling to the South and Returning to the North" may read "Once Upon a Time on Earth", the first part of Three-Body Problem, and really feel that this is the past, and they can't distinguish between history and the past. Creation, the description is so real, there is no trace of creation. I even suspected that this is not a science fiction novel, but documentary literature. I extract fragments from the mountain of historical data, describe the cruelty calmly, and be an emotional bystander. , calmly uncovering the scars on his body, as if a nurse was removing needles from a patient.

The description of Evans' appearance is also like a documentary memory, a bit like the American writer Peter Heisler's "Searching for China", and Liu was in the second part of the first part of "The Three-Body Problem". There are also several scenes in the film where he drives out of the city and drives around aimlessly, which is very similar to Heisler driving out of the city from Beijing and heading west to "find his way to China". After pondering the map, he decided to go west because the east After the reform and opening up, the southern and southern regions seemed densely packed with dotted cities and criss-crossing road networks, which daunted him. As he said, “In the north and west, many places are still dominated by agriculture, so it seems that there is still room for development on the map. , which attracted me." Then he ran wild like a wild horse: on the next section of the road, which was more than 200 kilometers long, I basically saw no traces of human habitation. There are no gas stations, no shops, and the land is so desolate that no one would bother writing slogans here. The first town I finally encountered had been razed to the ground not long ago. The town looked like a military installation, with rows of houses built neatly. At one time, hundreds of people must have been stationed here. But now, it is abandoned - broken walls stand on the plateau, like the remaining traces of the lost empire. Not far away, the highway forked into two dirt roads, one heading east and one heading west. The place names on the road signs sounded full of military connotations. To the left, it leads to "Construction", to the right, it leads to "Unification". Taking a deep breath, I drove straight forward... Once upon a time, like Heisler's "documentary" and Liu's "creation", I drove aimlessly to find the way, from the suburbs to the towns, from the national highway to the village road, From Bazi to the mountains, when you turn the corner of a village, you may encounter a group of sheep, you may run over a field of straw, or you may come across a bamboo forest. You never know whether what is waiting ahead is the smell of country, grass, or farmers. The smell of fat. Only those who have actually experienced it will know the attraction. I remember reading an ordinary self-driving travelogue before. The author’s words did not move me, but the accompanying picture moved me. In the photo taken, there is a slightly downward mountain road in front of me. The curve in front of the wheel is neither urgent nor slow, which just blocks the expansion of the field of vision. I really want to take a walk and see what kind of scenery is in front of the curve. It is better to ride the reins than to take a leisurely stroll. This is the joy of self-driving. Travel, the ultimate pursuit, is where you forget yourself. Just like Zhuang Yan’s answer: It’s good not to know. Once you know where you are, the world seems to change. Smaller. The description at the end of the middle part of "Dark Forest" about the departure of the group of people who have been described in detail is very similar to "One Hundred Years of Solitude". This may be a book about hundreds of years of loneliness waiting for the doomsday: after the emergence of the Tribody Crisis In a century, all the people who lived in the golden age passed away. The so-called golden age refers to the good time that started in the 1980s and ended with the emergence of the Trisomy Crisis. This era has been constantly recalled by people in the future. The old people who have experienced this good time continue to think about it like ruminants. That memory was spit out, chewed sweetly, and always added at the end: "Oh, why didn't you know how to cherish it then?" And the eyes of the young people who listened to their stories were full of jealousy, and at the same time they were also doubtful: that mythical Did peace, prosperity and happiness, that paradise-like carefreeness, really ever exist? As the old people left, the Gold Coast gradually disappeared into the mist of history. Now, the ship of human civilization has sailed alone into the vast ocean. Looking around, there are only boundless and dangerous waves. No one knows whether the other shore really exists.

The design of "Three-Body" is very good because it can draw on profound and exciting mathematical problems, because it is a difficult problem in mathematics, especially if it is brought from the game, it will open up your imagination and explore the universe. The norm is a binary star system. Single star systems like our solar system are rare. Therefore, scientists have been looking for a companion star of the sun for the mass extinction of life on earth that occurs once every 26 million years - a "Nemesis" with a sufficiently elliptical orbit. .

In this era where determinism, which is enough to predict everything that follows given initial conditions and using mathematical tools, has far occupied our minds, there are also existences like three-body, chaos, turbulence, and quanta that are like God rolling the dice, adding a dimension to the universe. It's mysterious, and the three-body system has been used. I suggest Liu use all the following jokes.

The introduction of physics knowledge in the book is also appropriate. It is not because I study physics that I am a fan of physics, but I agree with Liu on this point. Breakthroughs in basic physics must be the entire The basis for the advancement of science and technology, no matter what breakthrough is made, whether it is technology, materials, physiological science, or chemistry, to advance to the root requires the solidification of basic physics. Da Liu added a shackle to his unbridled imagination. This is The truly great works include some that make people alert, some that make people reflect, and some that make people amazed. In the end, a wall was added. Finally, I would like to give you a message: Regardless of whether there is a Trisolaran civilization or not, the starry sky is beautiful. Don’t just remember to walk with your head down, but also remember to look up at the stars from time to time. “In that case, you are very lucky. Most people never ask for help until they die.” A glimpse outside the world. ”

? I don’t know who said that the best work is the time you spend. Maybe only those who truly understand this sentence can create the best. If the work is not written down without intention, it may be forgotten the next day, and there will be no accumulation. The self tomorrow will still be the self today. It is terrible to stand still. Time has flown away, but people are still where they are. Take a walk with the words, reading is a journey that you can take as soon as you want. Don’t wait until everything is over before you start...
