After rebirth, I became a great writer

Chapter 371 "The Unselected Road"

"I lit the fire, but couldn't control it!"

"My plow was forged into a sword by the enemy, piercing the maritime defense line of the motherland!"

These are what Besley loved about two female characters.

The first sentence comes from Ye Wenjie in "The Three-Body Problem". She was an idealist and had struggled for human civilization. However, the cruelty of reality made her completely desperate about human nature, which led to her wanting to use the power of the Three-Body Problem to save humanity.

It's salvation, not destruction.

Although the final result was not what she wanted, Besley didn't hate her because she also gave humans hope. It's just that Cheng Xin is too Virgin.

The second famous saying is what Lin Yun said. Her personality is completely opposite to Cheng Xin. She is never indecisive, has extremely rationality, paranoid view of war and weapon, and moves forward by any means for the purpose!

As sharp, charming and frightening as the brooch on her military uniform!

At the same time, she was weak. After learning that the weapon she developed was discovered by the enemy, her subordinates had not survived. She cried helplessly like a child.

When Besley first saw Lin Yun say that, he felt distressed, but then he was so shocked by Lin Yun's madness that he grew up.

Because the macronucleus was discovered, the abandoned spherical lightning project was restarted. Under Ding Yi's calculations, Lin Yun and his team captured dozens of "strings"!

The superiors attached great importance to it, so they held a confidential meeting. At the meeting, Ding Yi said that the research on "strings" had just begun, and he was unable to estimate how powerful the collision of two "strings" was, which required experiments.

But one thing can be confirmed that it is different from ordinary nuclear fusion. In addition to being more powerful, it is also highly selective, and the explosion will not decay due to the influence of real matter.

For example, if the "string" only works on the hair, it will turn people all over the world into monks.

If it is targeted at the living body, then there will be no living creatures on the planet!

Hearing this, everyone was silent.

A few days later, the military formed a special leadership group to come to the base. The top leader of the group was Lin Yun's teacher. The first thing he did after he arrived was to isolate Lin Yun and review it and notify everyone to stop any experiments about "strings".

Ding Yi and the others were puzzled. Faced with such a severe battle, everyone placed their hopes on this experiment, so why did they give up?

Give up once and can turn the situation around and get a chance to win?

The old general explained: We do need to be responsible for the unfavorable situation, but we should be responsible for the entire human civilization!

Lin Yun sneered, and she asked provocatively, "Do you think you are very noble?"

The old general said that the person who gave this order also included your father.

Lin Yun didn't say anything anymore. She solemnly saluted everyone, saying that she would pack up her personal belongings, and then disappeared into the bloody setting sun on the Great Gobi Desert outside.

The meeting continued. Although the leaders did not allow the study of "strings", they agreed to continue to study "ball lightning", hoping to take advantage of its particularity to implement full-band blocking and interference on the enemy. When they talked endlessly about the possibility of the plan, Ding Yi's words made the audience silent again.

This plan was proposed by Lin Yun.

How ridiculous, the people who can execute the plan were kicked out of the conference room by them.

At this moment, a soldier ran into the conference room in panic. Lin Yun actually captured the laboratory with several subordinates. She wanted to force the "string" experiment.

Because Lin Yun and his team had the latest "spherical lightning" weapon, the army could not invade, and the only solution was to completely destroy the laboratory with missiles.

The military head called Lin Yun’s father. The long-standing general was silent for only two seconds before giving a missile attack order.

There is no choice. Even if this order is equivalent to killing his own daughter with his own hands, he cannot joke about the lives of all mankind!

However, it was too late. Lin Yun had stopped dancing the "strings", and then everyone saw a wonder that they had never seen before.

A strange blue sun rose in the Gobi Desert, giving people an eternal solemnity within half a minute of stability. The scarlet sunset was also eclipsed compared to it. Finally, it exploded, silently, and countless blue stars flew out in a radial shape and spread around.

The wonder quickly disappeared, but the sunset quietly shone on the Great Gobi Desert and the base, as if nothing had happened.

The fact is that it brought back one-third of the country's territory to the agricultural era, and all electronic products instantly turned into waste products.

"It's okay. Fortunately, the target of "string" this time is electronic chips. If you choose a living body, then alas."

Besley sighed deeply, and finally added a long sigh.

He was also thinking, if America would suffer such a situation one day, how should he choose as president?

Should I choose to stand in the country or stand in the human race?

No one dares to make a decision easily because the result is not something that an individual can bear.

Therefore, for the military leaders in the book, Lin Yun cannot judge which one is right and which one is wrong, so he can only say that he has different perspectives of thinking.

One side is for the country, the other side is for the human race! There is nothing wrong with it!

But no matter what, the beautiful major would never see again, which was the most uncomfortable thing for Besley at the moment.

Fortunately, the story is not over, and there are still two last chapters.

On the third day after the incident, Lin Yun's father came to the wreckage of the laboratory. Ding Yi found that the veteran general had aged much more than when he first met.

They stared at the place where Lin Yun passed away, and the explosion of the "string" formed a circular giant mirror, which reflected the rolling clouds in the sky, as if it was a window leading to another time and space.

"This is a unique monument," said Ding Yi.

At this moment, Lin Yun suddenly appeared, appeared at the other end of the giant mirror, slowly walking towards everyone. She was not a phantom, no different from ordinary people. In addition to her pale face, she could even hear clear footsteps.

Everyone was shocked, and even Ding Yi couldn't believe that no one could survive in the center of the "string" explosion, even if she became a quantum soul.

With so many people watching, why can she still walk in front of her father?

Why can she have the will to be independent?

Lin Yun spoke, and she had a conversation with her father, talking about their past events.

Finally they talked about "string", this terrible macronucleus, and Lin Yun explained the reason why she made such a crazy choice.

[The best solution to prevent terrible things from falling on the heads of compatriots and relatives, and on the delicate skin of the baby in his arms, is to create them in front of the enemy.]

This is her belief, this is her view of war, and she will do whatever she wants to sacrifice herself for this!

When everyone was shocked and silent, Lin Yun's face showed relief. Under the golden light of dusk, her body gradually became transparent until it disappeared completely.

Dr. Chen only learned about these things from Ding Yi after the victory of the war. Yes, the war was won because of Lin Yun!

When the truth of this devastating disaster was revealed to the outside world, the whole world was stunned. The enemy alliance chose to withdraw its troops after only a moment of thinking.

It is true that compared with ordinary nuclear weapons, "string" will only selectively attack electronic products, but the more advanced the science and technology countries understand that it is even more terrifying than nuclear weapons.

Because it can temporarily bring the whole world back to the agricultural era, and in the process of restoring to the information age, an uncertain and new world pattern will appear. At that time, who can guarantee that it can win?

The world has restored peace, but Dr. Chen just wants to know, can she come back?

Ding Yi said that it may be, but when he comes back, he is also a quantum state. He guessed that Lin Yun could appear briefly under everyone's gaze because she is different from ordinary quantums. She has the ability to observe herself, which can offset other people's observation of her.

But even so, she is still a cloud of probability, and the road to home is far and slim.

Whether she comes back or not, their lives will continue. Dr. Chen married his college classmate Dai Lin, who was the school beauty who became curious about him at the beginning.

Ding Yi also has a lover, but he wipes a photo every night. In the photo, Lin Yun is standing among the children, still with a smile on his face and clear eyes.

Later, one night, Dr. Chen was awakened by a fragrance, which was familiar.

"Lin Yun, are you back?"

No one responded, and there was silence, only a blue rose in the vase in the bedroom.

Rose also disappeared the moment Dr. Chen saw it, but he really saw it, full of vitality and aura!

He suddenly realized that perhaps the people he remembers deep in his heart would turn into a quantum rose, collapse when he was watching, and remain forever when he was free.

On his dying moment, all Dr. Chen's intelligence and memories disappeared in the abyss of the past, and returned to the innocent feelings and dreams of childhood. That was when the quantum rose smiled at him.

"Blue rose. Smiling quantum rose."

Besley stared at the last sentence in the manuscript, and it ended. The prequel he had been looking forward to for a long time was finally finished.

I can't tell what it feels like, there are relief, surprises, reluctance, and disappointment

To be fair, "Ball Lightning" is far less shocking than "Three-Body Problem". It is a bit far-fetched to say that it is a prequel, which is somewhat related to the plot and the characters.

It is equivalent to another story, a story about Lin Yun, of course Ding Yi also has it, and he is still the physics genius. As for the protagonist Dr. Chen, he is just a plot promoter.

But this denies that Besley will not approve of "Sphere Lightning". This is also a high-quality science fiction novel, because the romance described in it is far from comparable to "The Three-Body Problem", especially the quantum state after the deceased, which is really exciting.

Among them is the poem written by Hongwen, which also made him understand what the science fiction novel written by the poet is like.

Even if romance is aside, she can fascinate all readers with the role of Lin Yun alone. It can be said that she is a combination of the personalities of Ye Wenjie, Luo Ji and Wei De.

She is dangerous, but it is precisely because of the terrifying beauty and the mysterious unknown that people can remember it deeply.

Lin Yun also contributed to the world of "Three-Body Problem". Her persistent "spherical lightning" laid the foundation for the subsequent technological explosion of mankind and also affected Ding Yi's life.

"Lin Yun! You are such an intoxicating blue rose"

Besley, who sighed again, finally looked away from the computer screen and looked at the vase place in his bedroom. The bouquet inside was also rose.

This is their national flower, but unfortunately, the color is not blue.

"Let them change to blue tomorrow!"

Besley muttered to himself.

After reading the novel, he felt his physical fatigue. He subconsciously glanced at the alarm clock and was stunned. It was six o'clock, which meant that he had watched it all night.

This is because Chen Tianhong posted the English version. He didn't struggle to read it, and the number of words was much less than that of "Three-Body Problem". Otherwise, one night would not be enough.

It is impossible to go to bed and rest now. He still has a lot of itinerary today. This is the president's helplessness. Time does not belong to him.

"Hongwen! I really want to meet you again and talk to you."

Besley said the last sentence of "Tonight", then got up and moved his body, walked to the bathroom and poured cold water on his face. When he came out, he was already full of energy.

And what he said just now was not entirely emotional. He really wanted to see Chen Tianhong.

But there is a suitable reason for invitations. After all, the meeting of storytellers is too much. If you go to China, in terms of politics, there is no need to go there in the past year.

After more than two months, when "Ball Lightning" started selling all over the world, Besley still did not find any opportunity.

Another month, when I was heading to the American Writers Association, the president of the Writers Association talked about several important literary events this year, one of which is a world-oriented international poetry festival!

Speaking of this, the president of the American Poetry Association invited him politely, saying that it was their turn to host the poetry festival, and hoped that the President would have time to support it.

Of course, this is just to be polite. Everyone knows that the president’s itinerary is very busy. Generally, it is good to have a vice president in this kind of activity.

Who knew that Besley did not refuse, but asked, will Hongwen come then?

The president of the Poetry Association's uncertain answer should be.

Besley nodded and said, if Hongwen comes, he will adjust his itinerary at that time.

Before leaving, he recommended the president to read "Sphere Lightning" and said that there are two poems in it that are well written.

The president was not interested in science fiction novels, but when he heard about poetry, it was different. He actually bought a copy of "Sphere Lightning".

The first poem felt average, but the second poem made him fall into deep thought.

It was a poem written by the author Hongwen to all the characters in the book, and it was also a poem written to all readers. It was very life philosophy, but the poems in the book were obviously not finished.

The president thought about it over and over again, called Vice President Derick and arranged two things.

1. When sending an invitation letter to the China Writers Association, remember to send a copy to Hongwen and try to make sure that he can come.

Second, let him ask what the name of the poem is and whether there is a complete version.

Derrick is Chen Tianhong's old friend, and he is a witness to the world's "Born Like Summer Flower".

After learning the whole story from the president, he called Chen Tianhong, first said the invitation, then praised the good writing of "Globular Lightning", and finally asked the key points.

In this regard, Chen Tianhong's answer is:

He will come to the Poetry Festival. The name of the poem is "The Unselected Road". It is indeed not the whole article, because he hasn't thought about it yet, and maybe he will think about it when the Poetry Festival is over. Maybe he can think of it even more.

ps: There was a foreshadowing before, I don’t know if you still remember it.

Thanks to Jianfeng 99 for his monthly ticket support!
