After rebirth, I became a great writer

Chapter 215 What is the novella about human nature?

Crossing the morning and dusk line is the eternal night!

When a beam of light shines into darkness, then this beam of light is sinful. If the light can always shine on darkness, then it is redemption.

But I have never seen the light, it will only shine my world even more desolate.

This is a passage that Old Man Li thought of in his mind after seeing the protagonist in the book for the first time he saw the sun.

But now when he saw that humans in the book were going to escape from the universe with their planet, he was shocked.

Old Man Li subconsciously searched for his knowledge storage, hoping to find a wonderful copy to describe his feelings at the moment.

But in the end, what can be described is the sentence "This creativity is so awesome."

"Old Li, what's wrong? I see your face is a little wrong! What did you just muttered? Have you found it?"

Hong Tao ruled out another manuscript. He didn't hear what Old Man Li was saying, but when he saw his face, he was a little wrong.

"I didn't say anything! I didn't say anything! I haven't found it yet. Keep looking for yours, don't worry about me! I will tell you what I find."

When Old Man Li heard this, he clasped the manuscript in his hand tighter, but his face seemed to be nothing.

He has completely confirmed that "The Wandering Earth" was written by Chen Tianhong. Apart from him, others do not have such a big idea. "Rural Teacher" shocked him greatly.

It’s just that the shock of "Rural Teacher" was in the late stage, and "The Wandering Earth" hit people's hearts at the beginning.

Old Man Li said that he didn't find it because he was afraid that Hong Tao would snatch the manuscript after he found out. They were all old colleagues, and they knew what style they were doing with each other.

He also wanted to read the follow-up, but he might not be sure that there would be more shocking scenes later, and the answer to the mystery in the book was not completely solved.

For example, why do you have to take the planet to wander? It is not more convenient to use the spacecraft plan!

From a scientific point of view, the "Wandering Earth" plan will consume most of the energy on useless internal loads of the earth. In addition to producing gravity, the heavy matter inside the earth's crust is actually just a burden to escape from the interstellar space.

In fact, the spaceship plan that Old Man Li thought of was also a plan recognized by many people in the book. For this reason, they were divided into two factions, one was the "Earth Sect" who fled with the earth, and the other was the "Spaceship Sect" inclined to the spaceship.

Even some extreme "spaceship faction" people formed a rebel army to fight against the coalition government and engage in sabotage.

The reason why scientists finally determined the "Wandering Earth" plan was explained by the teacher in the classroom.

The reason is actually very simple and realistic, and the ecosystem.

Adults are divided into groups, and the same is true for their descendants. Among the students, there are children belonging to the "Spaceship School", one of whom was named Adong, who did a design assignment for a nature class.

It is a sealed glass ball with a diameter of 10 cm. Two-thirds of the ball is filled with water, and there is also a small shrimp, a small branch of coral and some green algae, and of course some microorganisms that cannot be seen.

They form small interdependent circular ecosystems.

Shrimps eat seaweed and excrete organic feces. Microorganisms decompose them into inorganic substances and carbon dioxide. Seaweeds use inorganic substances and artificial sunlight for photosynthesis to grow and reproduce, and at the same time release oxygen for shrimps to breathe.

It can be said that this glass ball embodies the dreams of Adong and all the spaceship children, and is a microcosm of their dream spaceship!

If the small world in the glass ball does not collapse and is drawn from the small, it means that the ecosystem in the spacecraft can also support human survival.

However, after just over a dozen days, the small world in the ball had completely collapsed and the ecosystem was completely unbalanced.

The teacher explained that this is because the ecosystem is too small. No matter how rigorous we are in order to perform accurate calculations, it cannot withstand the storm of time. Similarly, the disadvantages of spacecraft are also here.

Because they cannot make the spacecraft as big as the earth, and they cannot completely replicate the earth's ecosystem.

Another student raised questions, saying that he could emigrate to a new planet by spacecraft.

The teacher said that among the alien galaxies currently explored, the planets suitable for humans to live in are hundreds of light years away. Even if they ride the fastest spacecraft, it will take 170,000 years to reach, and the ecosystem on the spacecraft cannot support it for so many years.

The students were silent, and Old Man Li was silent when he saw this.

The teacher's words hit the deepest part of Old Man Li's heart again.

That's what the original text says.

[Children, only an ecosystem of the size of the earth and such a majestic ecological cycle can make life endless! Human beings leave the earth in the universe, just like babies leave their mothers in the desert!]

"Only on Earth can life last forever. Human beings leave the planet where they live, just like babies leave their mothers."

Old Man Li read the teacher's words over and over again.

He is also a teacher and a scholar, and he has savored this sentence unusually.

From a scientific point of view, the humans in the book wander with their planet because only the Earth's ecosystem can allow them to survive. This is the most suitable and scientific solution.

From the perspective of human feelings, the earth is its own hometown and its hometown.

In the vast universe, human beings are so weak and insignificant. It is the earth that gives us shelter, allowing us to live carefree once, and allowing human beings to have a place to live in the universe.

But now that the disaster is coming, the sun disaster is about to devour our "Mother Earth". Should we abandon her and flee by ourselves?

Reason tells us that it is OK, she will not blame us, and how can a mother blame her children?

But humans are not cold-blooded animals, they are high-level animals with emotions.

All the humans in the article know that when they leave, they will leave forever and never return. Even if they can come back, their "earth" mother will disappear at that time.

They love this land, their hometown, and their mother star!

Therefore, the humans in the article did not choose to leave anyone behind, and took all the bottles and jars, and took their mother star to escape and wander!

Even if the journey is long, it is very dangerous!

But they are fearless! Even if their plan fails, they will die in the wandering journey!

They can accept death, but they cannot accept it, abandon the mother of Earth who raised them.

Because she carries not only the capital for survival, but also their dignity and confidence as human beings!

Even if they die at this time, humans are proud to die because they have tried their best! They have never given up their homes until the last moment!

In a word! Home is there, people are there, and family is lost!

"It's really shocking! Perhaps only we orientals can write such science fiction novels, and only we are so attached and loved by our hometown and home. With this sentence, the whole novel has been sublimated!"

Old Man Li was very moved. He understood the profound meaning behind the words.

In fact, he thought less, and the teacher's words also have educational significance, which is to educate children to know to protect their homes, protect their mother planets, and protect the ecological environment they nurtured.

So whether from a scientific or emotional perspective, the humans in the article finally chose the "Wandering Earth" plan, and this escape plan is divided into five steps.

The brake era written in the beginning of the first step, using more than 10,000 engines to stop the earth from rotating. The protagonist in the book was born at the end of this era.

It is precisely because of the stop rotation and the high temperature brought by the engine that the ground roars constantly, and various environmental disasters such as extreme cold and extreme heat, that humans have turned to underground life.

The second step is called the era of escape. The Earth's engine is activated at full power, so that the Earth can accelerate to the escape speed and fly out of the solar system;

The protagonist in the book is currently in this era.

As for the next three steps, they are called Wandering Age I (accelerating in space, flying towards Proxima Centauri, that is, the new sun).

Wandering Age II (when it is about to arrive, let the earth resume rotation and start slowing down).

New Sun Age (after slowing down, enter the orbit of Proxima Centauri and live again.).

This process will last for 2,500 years and 1,000 generations. But it has only been more than 300 years since then.

Finally, the first article of "The Wandering Earth" ended in the protagonist's memory.

When he was born, it was also a day of sailing and a day of sadness!

The earth is on the road, humans are on the road, but the grandfather who loves him the most has passed away.

The last words left by grandpa when he was dying are a common saying by humans in the book.

【Ah, Earth, my wandering Earth…】

...

Now that I see the sentence "The Wandering Earth" at the end of the chapter, Old Man Li understands the meaning it represents.

I also know why the novel's name is called "The Wandering Earth". Apart from these four words, no adjective is appropriate, and it is even more appropriate.

"Will it be better to change it to "Wandering Wenxing"? Forget it, don't make any random ideas, and the sense of substitution is the Wenxing, Wenxing is the Earth, and the humans in the book are the us in reality!"

"It's just that the story at the beginning is so big, can the plot be kept in the future? If it's top-heavy, it's going to be broken!"

After reading the previous article, Old Man Li was both happy and worried.

From his current judgment, we can see that the previous article alone is no less than the best work of "Rural Teacher". I dare not say that I will be the first, but the top three are absolutely fine.

With anticipation and worry, Old Man Li opened the next page.

The new page is still six big words, [Second: Escape Era]

At the beginning of the era of escape, the earth has set sail, but it does not fly out of the solar system directly. She also has to circle the sun for 15 laps to preheat before acceleration, accelerate a little bit each lap, and then reach the escape speed calculated by the scientists, and then head to the destination.

In view of Old Man Li, these 15 circles of rotation are more like the farewell ceremony of the earth to the sun.

Humans survive in her body, and the earth has also revolved around the sun for billions of years. The relationship between her and the sun is similar to the relationship between human siblings.

But at this time, humans have forgotten the light and heat brought to them by the sun. They only remember that the sun will explode, and the explosion will destroy human civilization.

They began to fear the sun, fled into the ground, no longer yearned for the light, liked to stay in the dark, and also passed on this sense of fear to the next generation.

The protagonist grew up in darkness and fear, so he was so scared when he saw the sun!

"When a beam of light shines into the darkness, then this beam of light is sinful. I have never seen light, it will only shine my world more desolate."

Old Man Li whispered the words he thought of at the beginning

The protagonist finished elementary school in the dungeon and went to middle school. At this time, the school education was all concentrated in science and engineering. Only learning mathematics, physics, chemistry, art and philosophy are gone. As for the theological beliefs, they have long been abandoned by mankind.

God has no way to save them. All human beings can rely on is themselves. To borrow a sentence from the book, [Even if there is really God, he is still a bastard.]

Of course there are still history lessons, but the human history of the pre-Sun Age in the textbook is like a beautiful dream to the protagonist, and is illusory.

Old Man Li agrees deeply with the fact that the humans in the book no longer believe in religion.

To put it bluntly, religion is the product of ancient society. Its advantage in ancient times was that it could unify human thoughts and allow people to implement relevant specific rules, but the disadvantages were also obvious.

Not to mention that religion is easy to be used by some people to satisfy private desires. The biggest disadvantage is that religious beliefs are of little use when facing disasters.

What human beings can rely on is science and technology. Only by constantly developing science and technology, rather than simple fantasies, can human beings save themselves.

So whether in the past life or this world, there is a slogan, believing in science is the only one.

But Old Man Li disagreed with them for their only care about science and engineering and complete pragmatism.

He is a culture-based person who teaches humanities, and has a lot of knowledge in both art and philosophy.

In the eyes of experts like Old Man Li, culture can not only enhance human material and spiritual life, but also promote social progress.

Complete pragmatism lacks creativity, even mathematics, physics, etc., and a large part of creativity depends on the humanities, that is, spiritual culture.

Once a person loses his spiritual culture, his life will be boring, numb, and like a walking corpse, he will lose the correct judgment of right and wrong.

This is very dangerous and the consequences are extremely serious, which will cause social turmoil and eventually lead to the collapse of human civilization.

"Is the novella about the changes in human nature when facing disasters? This is what the description in this paragraph means!"

"In the era of escape, the threat of death and the desire to escape overwhelm everything. The fear brought by the solar catastrophe essentially changed the mental state and spiritual life of human beings. Everyone wants to live, which is human instinct."

"The background of the opening is grand and there is no problem. The story structure and the development of the plot of the novella are also very reasonable. But writing like this is very dangerous! You are a young man under 20 years old, talking about human nature. Where did you get such great confidence!"

Old Man Li frowned tightly, and his heart became more and more worried.

Human nature is complex. No one dares to say that he can fully interpret human nature. Even Zhu Yanlin, who Chen Tianhong saw, dared not say.

You should know that Zhu Yanlin is a modern literary master. His book "Human Nature and Human Heart" has won the highest international literary award.

However, Old Man Li didn't know that Chen Tianhong knew Zhu Yanlin. If he knew, he might have less worries in his heart.

(I don’t know if you still remember this foreshadowing)

The following few descriptions undoubtedly prove what Old Man Li guessed.

The first paragraph is the protagonist's father. One day, he suddenly told his mother that I fell in love with another woman and wanted to leave you to live with her.

My mother was very calm when she heard this, and just asked indifferently who she was.

The nonsense is that the protagonist answered this question for his father, saying that it was his primary school teacher.

In other words, he knew that his father had cheated, but he was not angry. Instead, he was curious about when they met.

What's even more irrelevant is that my mother said, "Oh, I get it, then you go!"

My father's next words ruined his views. He said, "I will definitely get tired of it after a while. Then I will come back. What do you think?"

My mother said it was fine, so she went to watch the fireworks happily.

Then after a while, my father really came back, and at this time, my mother actually forgot about her husband's cheating partner.

This means that human moral concepts have been distorted, and there is no love between husband and wife, let alone passion.

In the article, humans do not understand the view of love, and are surprised by the pain or seeking death for love before the pre-Sun Age. In their opinion, love is not important in life and death.

In the second section, due to the constant acceleration and changes in the earth's orbit, the equilibrium of the core is disturbed, resulting in volcanoes rampant and magma seeping into the dungeon frequently occur.

Finally one day, magma invaded the dungeon where the protagonist lives, and hundreds of thousands of people could not escape in time. This involves an ethical question, who should I save first

The original text mentioned the ethical question, [When the flood comes, should a man who can only save one person go to save his father or his son?]

Normal people will be very confused when they see this problem. Saving anyone will make the survivor suffer for a lifetime because they have family affection.

In the eyes of humans in the book, this question should not be asked.

I will definitely save my son! Because my son is young, he has more value in living.

Similarly, the escape arrangements arranged by the coalition government include first babies, then kindergarten children, then elementary school students, and so on.

This is a typical materialism, which only considers the maximization of overall interests and does not consider other factors.

The rescue order is OK, but it is too cold-blooded. It can be said that in the article they are almost becoming cold robots.

The result of this disaster was that the protagonist survived and his mother died.

Although the protagonist was sad about this, he quickly accepted all this. After all, in this harsh and fearful reality, living is the greatest happiness, and there is no need to be sad anymore.

Seeing this, Old Man Li was already extremely painful. This pain was even stronger than his previous description of death. To be precise, it was sad.

What is more terrifying than death?

Live for the sake of living, but don’t know the meaning of your life!

If a person becomes a human in the text, he has no love, no family affection, and no basic moral concept. He only knows that he wants to escape!

What's the point of surviving this way?

Old man Li remembered a sentence, some people are alive, but he is dead, some are dead, but he is still alive

The body can be destroyed, but a person's spirit can last forever.

Spirit is not material but culture!

After thinking for a long time, Old Man Li seemed to have figured it out suddenly. He slapped his thigh and said.

"No, this is not just describing the human nature when disaster comes, but pointing out the way, the brightest way for people who are trapped in disaster!"

ps: Let me say a few words! These two chapters have been written for a lot of thoughts. The novel "The Wandering Earth" is really heavy. I read it repeatedly for a long time before I decided to start writing. I can't guarantee that what I wrote is what the author wants to express, but I have worked very hard! Don't criticize me if I don't like it!
