After rebirth, I became a great writer

Chapter 229 The Universe View of "Three Body"

"The national hero is unparalleled."

When Zhu Yanlin heard Chen Tianhong use these four words to praise the scientist, he was filled with emotion for a moment.

If, according to Zhu Yanlin's view, the novel "The Wandering Earth" does express respect for scientific rationality, especially after the last few thousand "spaceship factions" were frozen to death, the sun exploded.

While ironing human nature, it also praises scientists for their persistence in truth and inner belief.

Scientists can dedicate their lives to human survival, which is undoubtedly worthy of respect.

But this is only one aspect. The content of the novel is also full of thinking about human nature, comparing the success of scientific and rationality with the failure of human bad roots.

The result is even more thought-provoking. This is why Hong Tao and the others thought about it for a long time after watching "The Wandering Earth"!

Indeed, taking the planet to wander, this unique oriental romance is very shocking.

However, the novel focuses more on excavating emotions, especially in-depth portraying of human meticulous psychology during the catastrophe of the universe. In the face of a great catastrophe such as the flash of the sun and helium, it has not forgotten the question of the human spiritual world.

All this proves that "The Wandering Earth" is not a complete "hard" science fiction. It has not left the orbit of literature and still infects all readers with emotional ways in literature.

Rather than saying that "The Wandering Earth" praises scientists' dedication, it is more about telling the perseverance of mankind.

As the genius of all things, humans have higher wisdom and abilities. It can be said that no life on earth is stronger than humans.

Even humans make mistakes, are afraid when facing disasters, and when wandering in the universe, they also know their own insignificance.

But humans have a profound spirit of introspection and valuable advantages of insufficient modification.

Therefore, they finally embarked on a long wandering journey with hope, engraving human courage and perseverance under the starry sky forever.

"Human nature is complex, and the bad side is inevitable. No one can always maintain rationality. Although it is impossible to correct mistakes when you know them, there is no great improvement, but in the face of disasters, some mistakes cannot be forgiven."

"Praise scientists! Haha, that's right! Mr. Ji and the others can indeed call it the unparalleled Chinese sages! Tianhong said this is also good, and everyone needs positive energy."

Zhu Yanlin thought a lot in just a short time.

He knew that "The Wandering Earth" written by Chen Tianhong had another core idea, but when he said that idea, he had to criticize human nature, which was cruel.

What everyone likes to see is Xiangyang's side, and it is at the award ceremony, so there is no problem with Chen Tianhong choosing the right side.

Zhu Yanlin now wants to talk to Chen Tianhong about his new works and what kind of ideas he has.

You should know that since Chen Tianhong can say that he is not worse than "The Wandering Earth", it proves that he has enough confidence.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yanlin's curiosity became increasingly serious and he began to look forward to the conversation after the award ceremony.

He hopes that Chen Tianhong can bring surprises to himself again.

Chen Tianhong's acceptance speech on the stage has not finished yet, so the reason why he paused a little was because the applause from the audience was too enthusiastic.

He suppressed his voice enthusiastically, and even Zhu Jianle, who was standing on the stage, was applauding.

It was really the words he had just said to everyone's heart. Even Zhu Yanlin recognized the saying "The national hero is unparalleled", let alone other people.

Although Zhu Yanlin is called a contemporary literary master, the headquarters of the Writers Association and the Chinese Academy of Sciences are also consistent in people's hearts, but strictly speaking, scientists are more worthy of people's respect.

Literature is the spiritual world of mankind, and it can make our lives rich and colorful.

But science is ensuring our lives and making our lifestyle more convenient. To put it bluntly, it is to allow us to survive.

So, everyone has a scale in their hearts.

But even though we know, people are more familiar with writers. To be honest, Chen Tianhong is now more famous than some scientists.

Many people know Chen Tianhong's name, but they can't call the names of those scientists.

The nature of their work means that they are unknown. Even if they find some papers and articles, they are only known to people in the circle.

Even great scientists like Ji Taidong will be selected and forgotten by people!

For example, Cao Xingkui, although he is also an academician of the Department of Physics of the Academy of Sciences, when people talk about him, the first thing they think of is the science fiction novels he wrote, rather than scientific research results.

This is the naked reality!

It is also a tragedy for choosing to become a scientist!

But I believe that after Chen Tianhong said this, people's attention will begin to focus on them, because the award ceremony was broadcast live nationwide and the number of people watching it is very popular.

And as Chen Tianhong's popularity increases, the influence of his words will become more and more profound.

Chen Tianhong chose to say this, but it was really not what the novel "The Wandering Earth" wrote, he has a temperament!

The true core idea of ​​"The Wandering Earth" is that the author is thinking about what role does human nature and nature, and the universe play in the vast universe, and how to continue civilization.

Chen Tianhong praised scientists so much, and was also influenced by his previous life.

At that time, many superstars fell. These people who were shining with our contemporary light did not feel anything in normal times.

I feel that they are no different from the sun, moon, and stars that accompany us. I often don’t think of them very much. We always feel that they will always be there.

But they are different from the sun, moon and stars. They will no longer rise when they sink, and will never come back when they pass through the sky.

Only then can we understand the pain of losing them, it is a sense of panic, just like losing faith, losing the hope in our hearts

Because only they can be at ease!

The applause lasted for a long time, and finally subsided at a certain point in time.

At this time, Chen Tianhong continued to speak.

"While we respect science, we cannot completely give up our spiritual pursuits. Literature and science are actually inseparable.

Innovation in science and technology requires creative thinking, which happens to be provided by literature, because writing an article or a novel is about creating a world, requiring endless imagination.

In "The Wandering Earth", the meaning of human beings is constantly being questioned, and in the face of huge disasters, traditional morality and social norms are being tested.

The price they paid was high, art, ethics, common sense, and once extremely familiar features disappeared from human nature, and the lives passed away were as numerous as stars.

When humans survive for the sake of survival, they have lost the meaning of survival, which is also the reason for the later rebellion.

This is also another core idea in the book, and literary creation is something we must have.

Because it is closely related to the process of contemporary society, it is the process of human value construction and spiritual growth, and it is a self-confirmation of the meaning of human survival.

Respect science and pursue literature. This is the emotion I want to express in "The Wandering Earth"!

Thank you again to the teachers, family, friends, and all the book friends who like me!

Chen Tianhong's acceptance speech ended. His acceptance speech took a long time, which was far more than Yuan Haotian and the others in front.

Of course, the effects produced are also incomparable to them, and you can know them from the enduring applause.

When Zhu Yanlin heard Chen Tianhong's words "Respect science and pursue literature", he couldn't help but smile and felt very happy.

Originally, although he also recognized Chen Tianhong's promotion of science as the first priority, he felt a little uncomfortable, and literature itself is also very meaningful!

Literature is Zhu Yanlin's ideal. If he was asked to make a choice between science and literature, he would not hesitate at all and would choose literature first.

This is a literati. If you don’t write, you’d rather die!

So Chen Tianhong's last words undoubtedly touched the hearts of many people who love literary people.

This is what Chen Tianhong himself wants to say, because he is also an author who loves literature very much.

The next process is the host’s questioning session. The questions asked were communicated in advance, and Chen Tianhong answered them according to what was set before.

At noon, the award ceremony finally came to an end.

The award ceremony was over, Chen Tianhong and the others did not leave, and the Writers Association headquarters had arranged a luncheon.

As the saying goes, literature and food should not be disappointed. Besides, after saying so much, Chen Tianhong was already hungry.

This time Chen Tianhong did not sit with the older generation. He sat at the table with Yuan Haotian, Zhuo Chengsheng and others.

There were young people on the table, so naturally there was no restraint between each other, so Chen Tianhong was very happy to eat this meal.

However, it is not restricted. Whether it is Yuan Haotian, Zhuo Chengsheng, or the other five new students, they mainly refer to Chen Tianhong when they speak.

Before he knew it, Chen Tianhong had become the leader among his peers, or he had surpassed his peers.

There is no banquet that will last forever in the world, and even the bustling market will end!

After enjoying the food, the people who came to attend the ceremony gradually dispersed, and Chen Tianhong also waved goodbye to Zhuo Chengsheng and others. Except for Yuan Haotian, their schools were not in Kyoto and had classes tomorrow, so they had to rush back today.

Yuan Haotian also left with the president of Guanghua University. In fact, the president of Guanghua University had already wanted to leave, and he was almost tortured by Xu Changfeng's laughter.

Xu Changfeng and Hong Tao also left, but they didn't leave by themselves, but were sent away by others and drank too much.

Chen Tianhong did not leave, and he led him to Zhu Yanlin's office under Secretary Yan's leadership.

At this moment, Zhu Yanlin was already waiting for him. He was a certain age and did not eat as meat and vegetables as young people, and did not eat much, nor did he spend too much time on the dining table.

As for Dryden and his group's own arrangements, there is not only Zhu Yanlin, the vice president of the Writers Association headquarters, and he does not need to accompany him throughout the journey.

Besides, Dryden and the others don’t necessarily want Zhu Yanlin to accompany him now, nor do they want to see Chen Tianhong. The short science fiction novel "The Last Man" is quite embarrassing to them.

"Hehe, Tianhong, how about it? Are you full? If you are not full, I can give you a small meal."

Seeing Chen Tianhong coming in, Zhu Yanlin smiled and joked.

Chen Tianhong was originally a little nervous when he saw Zhu Yanlin alone. After hearing this, he relaxed.

"I'm full, President Zhu! The meals in our Writers Association are delicious!"

There is no problem with this "we" because Chen Tianhong is also a member of the Writers Association headquarters.

"Just eat enough! Xiao Yan, pour a cup of tea for Tianhong!"

Chen Tianhong's "our Writers Association" also brought his relationship with Zhu Yanlin in an instant, making him feel more intimate.

Secretary Yan was a little surprised when he heard this. You must know that not everyone could ask Zhu Yanlin to pour tea, which proves that he really treated Chen Tianhong differently!

Chen Tianhong did not refuse. He ate a lot of greasy food at the banquet just now, and he happened to drink a cup of tea to clear his stomach and intestines.

After pouring the tea, Secretary Yan twitchedly left the room. He knew that Zhu Yanlin had something to say to Chen Tianhong, and usually shouted to the office and said something that others didn't want others to hear.

After seeing Secretary Yan leave the room, Chen Tianhong also put down the teacup and his expression became formal.

It seems that the International Youth Literature Competition is very important!

Even though I had said something I promised, President Zhu still had to ask in person to rest assured.

"Tianhong! Tell me about your new work."

Zhu Yanlin finally asked a question.

Just like what Chen Tianhong guessed, he called Chen Tianhong here to ask about the new work. If the setting and conception of the new work are not very good, then the work reported will still be "The Wandering Earth".

To be honest, although I believe Chen Tianhong, I cannot be careless about reporting works in international competitions!

"President Zhu, I had already had the idea when I wrote "The Wandering Earth" again!"

"The background of the new story is similar to "The Wandering Earth". It is also humans facing disasters, but this disaster does not come from the sun, but from the centaur constellation and from alien civilizations."

"Oh, what you mean is that the new work is not that humans flee to the centaur sign with the planet, but that aliens from the centaur sign want to destroy the earth's civilization?"

Zhu Yanlin instantly grabbed the point in Chen Tianhong's speech, and he frowned and asked.

"Yes, President Zhu." Chen Tianhong nodded and said yes.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yanlin was silent. There was no big problem with this setting, but compared with "The Wandering Earth", it was too ordinary and had no sense of shock.

Because many science fiction novels have used this setting, readers are no longer surprised.

Chen Tianhong saw Zhu Yanlin's expression and sighed inwardly. It seemed that he had to give this old man a reassurance!

"President Zhu, the teacher told me that in the universe, galaxies like our solar system, which only have one star, are almost tiny. Most galaxies are binary stars or more than three stars. For example, the closest to us is Centaurus, which is three suns, that is, three suns

This means that the living environment of the planets surrounding them will be very harsh. The lives produced in this environment must be far above us humans. So in my new work, I want to call the lives produced in this environment the Three-Body, and their civilization is called the Three-Body Civilization.”

Zhu Yanlin's brows were still frowning. Of course he knew the principles and knowledge that Chen Tianhong said.

Including the three-body civilization that Chen Tianhong finally mentioned, it is actually a difficult problem in astronomy, called the "three-body problem", which involves the basic principles in celestial mechanics.

It means that if there are three planets with the same mass, they move with each other under the attraction of gravity, but their trajectory cannot be predicted like the sun, and there is no rotation or rotation of the earth.

Planets will pull back and forth between the three stars "suns", which are dangerous at all times, sometimes hot, sometimes cold, and even too close to them, they will be melted and cannot have a fixed four seasons like the earth.

Zhu Yanlin understood that Chen Tianhong said this, and he should have wanted to explain the reason why the Three-Body Civilization invaded the Earth civilization, because compared with the centaur galaxy, the solar system is more suitable for life and is stable.

But science fiction does not value principles! Or is it the excitement of the story?! Physical and astronomy knowledge is just the foundation.

However, Chen Tianhong's words then changed.

What he wanted to say was not the reason for the invasion of the three-body civilization, but the iron-blooded law among all civilizations in the entire universe!

"The universe is vast. If you can have a three-body civilization, it is natural that there may be four-body, five-body, or even N-body civilization.

I think all civilizations yearn for a stable living environment, and at the same time they will carefully protect their own survival place and dare not expose the position of their mother star.

Because once they are discovered by a higher-level civilization, they will be afraid that low-level civilizations will develop into high-level civilizations, which will threaten themselves from the perspective of their own safety.

In addition, in order to have a more suitable living environment, it will destroy civilizations that are lower than oneself.

I call this default rule for all civilizations in the universe the law of the dark forest.”

"You cannot expose your location at will, your own safety. The laws of the dark forest of the universe."

When he heard this, Zhu Yanlin's expression finally changed, and he felt fear of the universe for the first time.

At this moment, he remembered that an astronomer left a last word before his death.

"Don't take the initiative to contact aliens, nor do you actively send messages to the universe. We have no reason to believe whether alien civilizations love peace. Once human information is known by alien civilizations, they can position human beings, thus bringing disaster to us."

And this is theoretically supported.

Considering the universe as a whole, its total material amount is constant and unchanging. With the continuous growth and development of civilization, for survival and necessary resources.

In addition, there is almost no communication between civilizations because there is a distance, so it is unknown to each other.

The unknown represents fear and worry, so no matter from that perspective, once the other party is discovered, a war of destruction between civilizations will likely break out.

Human civilization cannot even fly out of the solar system now, and it cannot support wars between galaxies at all. What we are facing is destruction.

The setting of this cosmic view can be said to be very real, and even real, it makes people feel scared. Even if you don’t see the content of this novel, just from the “Law of Dark Forest” can give people a shocking feeling.

After hearing this, Zhu Yanlin was confident in Chen Tianhong. This was just a setting. If Chen Tianhong's writing style was added, I think it would definitely bring surprises to people again.

Because under this setting, it can be said that human civilization and even human nature are a great test.

Zhu Yanlin all had a feeling that the new work Chen Tianhong mentioned might really surpass "The Wandering Earth".

"Tianhong, have you figured out the name of your new work?"

"I have thought about it. Since it is a Three-Body Civilization, the title of the book is "Three-Body"!"

ps: The book Three-Body Problem is a bit difficult to write. I will lay the groundwork first. There will be an excessive chapter or two, so I will end the previous book.

(End of this chapter)
