Chapter 1562: Chapter 1264 The Three-Body Problem Completed
Bang bang bang.
Lin Yuan taps the keyboard.
The manuscript of the Three-Body series is being completed.
Actually, Lin Yuan considered removing the plot involving the Cultural Revolution. It would save quite a bit of writing, but he ultimately decided against it.
Ye Wenjie’s background is the foundation of the first book in the Three-Body series—
From confronting the tragedy of her father to later cutting trees as an educated youth, then being framed by Bai Mulin, these experiences had a huge impact on Ye Wenjie’s life, even becoming a turning point in human history.
Deleting it would make it incomplete.
After all, Chu Kuang’s reputation is well established.
Readers have enough patience to slowly enjoy the story created by Chu Kuang.
Even if that background requires considerable introduction.
While writing this book, the plot of the first part of the Three-Body series also flashes through Lin Yuan’s mind.
Beginning after the Cultural Revolution.
Ye Wenjie, an astronomer, is taken to the military’s top-secret project, the "Red Coast Project".
Ye Wenjie uses the sun as an antenna to emit the first cry of Earth’s civilization into the universe, achieving a breakthrough in the search for alien civilization.
About four light years away.
Under the dominance of three irregularly orbiting stars, the Trisolaran civilization has gone through hundreds of cycles of destruction and rebirth and is forced by survival crises to leave their home planet in search of a new haven suitable for them.
It is at this moment.
The Trisolaran system receives information sent from Earth by Ye Wenjie.
The Trisolaran civilization immediately wants to establish contact with Earth.
In the vast universe.
A mysterious and unfamiliar presence seems to possess goodwill, warning and alerting Ye Wenjie: "Do not respond! Do not respond! Do not respond!"
Important things are said three times.
However, Ye Wenjie, having endured a lifetime of suffering, has lost all faith in human society, so facing the inquiries from the distant star, she decisively chooses to respond, ignoring the warning and directly exposing Earth’s coordinates to the ambitious Trisolarans!
The fate of humanity changes between her slender fingers!
The Trisolarans receive Ye Wenjie’s reply, and upon verifying Earth’s coordinates, they revel:
Goodness!
The environment on Earth is really nice!
It’s simply the dream home we Trisolarans have been yearning for!
Invade Earth!
The massive Trisolaran fleet begins its advance towards Earth!
The Trisolarans are attacking.
The apocalypse for humanity creeps upon.
Although the Trisolaran fleet takes a long four and a half centuries to reach Earth, just the news alone throws Earth into chaos, and humanity quickly splits into three factions.
The Adventists.
The Salvationists.
The Survivalists.
The Adventists consist of disappointed elites with human civilization. Their purpose is to let the Trisolaran civilization thoroughly annihilate humanity, including themselves and their descendants, so as to build a newer and better civilization on Earth.
Very extreme.
The Salvationists are much gentler, their main members having a religious-like faith in the Trisolaran civilization, hoping the Trisolarans come to Earth to save humanity’s already degenerate civilization.
Very naive.
The Survivalists, however, choose self-preservation as their priority; as long as there’s no harm to themselves and their families, the development of human civilization is irrelevant to them.
Very real.
The existence of these three major factions fully demonstrates that humanity, at the brink of crisis, cannot unite in solidarity against external threats.
At the same time.
Information from the Trisolaran world completely overturns the foundational science humans have studied for years.
Unveiling the mysteries of all matter and pushing scientific progress: the collision of microscopic particles—
Has been entirely sabotaged by the super robot "Sophon" sent by the Trisolaran world!
Human science from now on has no possibility of development!
Many scientists therefore choose suicide.
The description of the "Sophon" robot is the extreme of human imagination about alien civilizations to date:
We all already know that the smallest structure of current matter is the "proton."
In Big Liu’s imagination, Trisolarans can unfold these smallest protons onto a two-dimensional plane, enlarging an invisible small particle into a huge flat "net," and writing ultra-strong programs on this net to make it a robot with surveillance and destructive abilities, and upon completion, it can be restored to the microscopic particle on a three-dimensional scale and all these intelligent particles can be sent to Earth at superluminal speed.
This is utilizing super-tech to directly lock Earthlings’ foundational science!
Earthlings have absolutely no power to resist; everything on Earth is exposed to Trisolaran surveillance.
Trisolarans even arrogantly provoke humanity by releasing information:
You are all insects.
This imagination is spine-chilling.
This is just the content of the first novel.
Lin Yuan believes the most exciting and crucial plot of the Three-Body series lies in the second book, "The Dark Forest".
After using technology to lock Earthlings’ science, Trisolarans deploy a massive cosmic fleet directly towards the Solar System.
Facing an unprecedented crisis of Earth’s civilization, humans assemble an equally vast space fleet and simultaneously formulate the "Wallfacer Project" utilizing the fatal flaw of Trisolaran’s transparent thinking.
Sociology lecturer Luo Ji is chosen as one of the four "Wallfacers" to launch a secret counterattack against the Trisolarans.
Luo Ji is our protagonist for the second book.
Although Trisolarans themselves cannot decipher human schemes, they rely on traitors among Earthlings, the so-called "human traitors," to select "Wallbreakers" for a battle of wits against the "Wallfacer."
This is a life-or-death competition for civilization survival!
The process is incredibly gripping!
Luo Ji is a powerful protagonist who gradually realizes his responsibility from initial evasion and hedonism.
Finally.
Luo Ji proposes the Dark Forest Theory regarding cosmic civilizations:
The universe is a dark forest, every civilization is a hunter with a gun, once revealing a civilization, it inevitably suffers attacks from other cosmic civilizations!
Using this discovery.
Luo Ji threatens to reveal the coordinates of Trisolaran world to the entire universe, temporarily halting the invasion of the Solar System by Trisolaran.
Continue fighting?
Then we’ll die together!
Trisolarans are afraid, Luo Ji guessed right, the Dark Forest Theory truly exists.
Trisolaran civilization can bully Earth’s civilization is true, but there are always more powerful civilizations in the universe that can control them.
Therefore.
Earth and Trisolarans establish a fragile strategic balance.
As for the third book, besides the infamous "dimensional reduction" appearance, perhaps Cheng Xin is the most unforgettable?
If choosing the most annoying character of the Three-Body series, Cheng Xin might rank first.
Votes overwhelmingly surpassing those against Ye Wenjie.
Ye Wenjie, due to her unique experiences in youth, although the culprit bringing the Trisolarans, is actually favored by many people.
Cheng Xin is different.
Countless readers vitriolically dubbing Cheng Xin as the "Cosmic No.1 Sanctimonious Self-Righteous."
Some even call for "Earth can be blown up, Cheng Xin must die."
Of course.
Even Cheng Xin, has readers who like her, believing some of her decisions are not wrong.
This is not within Lin Yuan’s consideration.
The important thing is to write all these contents out.
And amid the recollection of the story of the Three-Body series, Lin Yuan’s typing speed accelerates.
The banging sound continues in the room.
After banging continuously for a month.
The epic sci-fi masterpiece of the Three-Body series—
Is officially completed!
