After I was reborn, I became a great writer

Chapter 351 The direction of science is, the starry sky!
When Chen Tianhong said that he was going to recite the poem, all the people sitting in the auditorium had smiles on their faces, thinking that it was indeed the case, and it was you, Hongwen!Every acceptance speech needs to be a little bit special.

But when they heard that it was a poem written in "The Three-Body Problem", everyone was not interested, and the poems they had read were not as fresh as the new ones.

What's funny is that there was another sentence and "the second half of the song", and everyone's interest was aroused again.

In the "Three-Body Problem" trilogy, there are many famous sayings and aphorisms. For poetry, there are only one or two short poems. Anyone who has watched "Three-Body Problem" does not prick up his ears?

Even Tang Qianqian, who had just listened to it a little bit, was like a curious baby, staring at Chen Tianhong without blinking, looking forward to hearing a poem dedicated to sci-fi romance!
So when the ballad sounded and heard the first sentence, everyone knew which song Chen Tianhong was talking about. In fact, there was only one song in "Three-Body Problem" that could be regarded as a poem or a song.

It is called poetry because it does meet the standards of modern poetry in terms of meter, style, rhyme, and implication.

It is even simpler to say that it is a song. It comes from a civilization that is more powerful than the earth and the three-body body in the book. The singer civilization is an ancient ballad in this civilization, and the singer keeps humming it when he is working.

However, when they heard this ballad, many people shuddered all over their bodies. In an instant, they seemed to return to the deep and terrifying universe outlined in the book. huge star
Inside the star's gravitational field orbits a distant planet covered with a thick atmosphere.

Occasionally, faint sunlight shoots down from the gaps, like huge beams of light, illuminating the vibrant earth, and pale yellow clouds floating in the dark blue sky
A lake as quiet as a girl reflects the mountains, the colors are mottled and alienated, and it looks like Monet's paintings of the star bomber civilization, which makes people fascinated and intoxicated.
This is the world of singers described in the book. It is beautiful with few words, but it is a pity that it only depicts the classical era, the time of origin, and later the war with other civilizations in the universe completely destroyed all the beauty!

Because on the tower of the meaning of life, survival is above all else. For the continuation of life, it is nothing to convert the environment into resources, even if the dimension is reduced to two-dimensional (two-dimensional) to survive.

But the real reason that makes everyone shiver is another layer of meaning hidden in the ballad. In the ballad, they not only think of the singer's world, but also see the beautiful and terrifying "two-way foil".

The singer sings that it sees "love", what is love, the object, the object to be cleaned, the earth!

It drove the spaceship to the "Earth" and sent a gift representing advanced civilization. What kind of gift is that?

It is a piece of film as thin as a cicada's wing, very beautiful, it can freeze time.
This gift can only be accepted by civilizations of the same level as it, otherwise it will not only freeze time, but also death!

You can't refuse this gift, because it's as soft as "mud in the shallow sea!" So soft that you can't get rid of it!

Even when you die, it will turn into "beautiful stripes" (that is, the unique texture formed after the three-dimensional object is two-dimensional), this is the last romance for you!

However, you have the final right to choose, or you can paint "time all over your body" (make yourself two-dimensional and continue your life in two-dimensional space), or fly away hand in hand like me (singer), and run to the "gift" to influence Outer fringe regions, this flight is "phase"
In the perception of the majority of "Three-Body" readers, the singer's civilization is very powerful, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are devils. They can use technology to cut off the entire history of mankind, and they can return everything in the entire solar system to zero.
Its job is to clean up low-level civilizations, singing songs like a bandit to bring destruction to others, but in front of god-level civilizations, it is just like the low-level civilizations it cleans up, and I am nothing more than fish and meat.

The book "Three-Body" does not describe the final ending of the singer's civilization, but it can be deduced from a few words. The attack of civilization, completely zero
This super civilization, which can even change the laws of the universe, actually only proves that the system of the dark forest of the universe really exists. It is also unable to cope with the cruel interstellar war, and is just another wanderer in the dark universe!

As the last two sentences of the ballad say, to the stars, you and I are all "ghosts". The stars represent all civilized creatures in the universe, and they are also ghosts!

We are all in the majestic dark forest hierarchy, unable to extricate ourselves, unable to escape!

Therefore, it is only an ancient ballad without a name that finally circulates in the hearts of readers.
This is the emotion in the hearts of those who have read the novel "Three-Body Problem". For a small number of people who have not read "Three-Body Problem" or who don't know much about it, they appreciate it from another angle.

For example, Tang Qianqian, to be honest, she curled her lips when she heard the first three sentences.

what!It's too ordinary. What's the difference between it and the composition of elementary school students? It's no exaggeration to say that she can do it.

Tang Qianqian didn't feel something different until she heard the fourth sentence, she felt a force penetrating her heart.

From the literal understanding of the ballad, a person sees his love and gives her a gift, but this gift is too unusual, perhaps the most unique and romantic gift in the world, it is "frozen time"!

So what is it that freezes?

I don’t know, I don’t understand, but it doesn’t affect her to fantasize, anyway, it’s beautiful. In the end, the person who gave the gift and the person who received the gift flew to the edge of the world together, and the stars were reflected in each other’s eyes, and the stars reflected them, until the edge of the universe
"It's so beautiful! It's so romantic! This is the quintessence of poetry and sci-fi combined, and the resulting beauty is breathtaking!"

Stars appeared in Tang Qianqian's eyes, and she muttered to herself like a nympho.

At this moment, she suddenly believed in love again.

Liu Yifei, who was sitting next to her, turned to look at her best friend in surprise when she heard it. She was terrified of the starry sky and lamented the insignificance of human beings in the universe.

Is this song beautiful?

Well, it is indeed beautiful, but the more untouchable a beautiful thing is, the more deadly it is.
It's a long story, but in fact, only a few minutes have passed at the scene, and the scenes described are actually derived from the associations in everyone's minds and the feelings in their hearts.

After Chen Tianhong finished reciting the original work in the book, he only paused for 5 minutes, and then continued to speak the second half.

[Time and space are all sharp wings, and the multidimensional universe allows me to run amok freely! 】

[Falling into the two-dimensional space turned into a bubble, only a series of empty echoes! 】

[The silent life several epochs ago has become so determined while holding a fireball! 】

[Who can keep the grand secret of time, so sure, will give time to civilization! 】

【So sure, it gives civilization to the years.】

When Chen Tianhong said these few lines, he almost turned his recitation into a chant, but fortunately he stopped it in time and turned into a high-pitched chant. He repeated the last line twice and raised his voice.

After reading the "second half of the poem", Chen Tianhong still paused for a while to give everyone time to react.

The audience in the auditorium was silent, and the audience in front of the computers, mobile phones, and TVs were also silent. Like the first half of the song, they made associations based on their own understanding. The difference is that this time there are more associations. Unfortunately, few people can associate them together. , more people looked at a loss.

They only feel that the second half of the song sounds more like a ballad, and it sounds very exciting, but what does it mean? Sorry, I am a scumbag, and I don’t have enough knowledge.

It was the last sentence that reminded all readers of "Three-Body Problem" of a famous saying in the book.

【Give time to civilization, not to civilization! 】

However, how many people really understand this sentence?

Fortunately, Chen Tianhong on the stage did not pause for too long, he continued to speak.

"At the last award ceremony for The Three-Body Problem, I said that science fiction is literature based on the imagination, as our pioneer of science fiction writers, Mr. Gimpler Scott, said, "Science Fiction Based on scientific principles, but also full of imagination! "

I am honored to receive the Kimppler Award, which honors imagination, a human capacity that seems to belong only to the gods, and which we can use to construct a world as much as creator.

But at present, the imagination of space in many sci-fi works is no longer as good as that of Mr. Gimpler's time. Because of the development of our reality technology, many things that existed in fantasy in the past have become reality, and we are indeed outside our home planet. left footprints.

This makes many people look away from the starry sky, and the imagination of science fiction has changed from the broad and far-reaching in Gimpler's era to the current narrow and introverted.

As a sci-fi writer, I have been working hard to continue the imagination of our sci-fi writers. The starry sky is always the best place to carry human imagination.

Perhaps the universe conceived in "Three-Body Problem" is not as everyone expected, and some people even think that it is naive, black-bellied, does not conform to the values ​​of today's society, and is not the future we yearn for.

I think everyone should understand that science fiction is not about predicting the future, it just arranges various possibilities of the future for everyone to appreciate and think about. As for which of these countless possible futures will become a reality, it is not The purpose of writing science fiction is, of course, beyond my reach.

But one thing is certain: on long-term time scales, among the countless possible futures, no matter how prosperous our human civilization has achieved, those futures without space travel are bleak
Today, our human living environment is facing new challenges. I think the next biggest difficulty for human civilization is that everyone’s pioneering spirit is worn away, and the comfort and comfortable life brought by technology are worn away. Yes, according to the time scale of [-] years, human beings will encounter catastrophe.

Maybe when we are pioneering, we will still fall into the grand time, so how to keep the time?
The second half of the ballad I just recited is just a little personal opinion, "Give the years civilization!"

Except for time, nothing is eternal. All life in the universe is like this, and the splendor of civilization is not measured by time. It is better to obtain a short-lived splendid civilization than to live in idling.

We want to make every moment of our life wonderful, instead of letting life go to waste. As time goes by, we can't lie in the comfort zone and rest on our laurels. We must make full use of our imagination to develop, develop, and develop again.
Let the imagination continue to advance, go to a more distant time and space to find the magic, walk in front of reality, walk in front of time, this is the only way!

Science fiction helps humans expand knowledge, and science fiction also helps us think about the meaning of our existence!

I hope that "Three-Body" can make everyone face up to the problems we face and think about the meaning of our human civilization in the universe.

Of course, what I said may not be correct, just as "Three-Body" cannot satisfy everyone, but just like Mr. Gimpler's epitaph: "He never grew up, but he never stopped growing".

I want to work hard to grow, and I also want to add different things to science fiction as I grow up, plus my own understanding.

As long as there are no limits in life, we have unlimited possibilities!
Thank you all, my acceptance speech is over!
After speaking from the bottom of his heart, Chen Tianhong bowed deeply to the people in the auditorium and to the camera!
The applause sounded like thunder, and everyone present applauded and stood up to return the salute. They couldn't afford this bow, because the young people standing on the stage at the moment thought far more than they did. long!
To say something exaggerated, just based on what he said just now, coupled with the novels he created, he even provided scientists with the direction of follow-up development, that is, voyage and open up the starry sky!
"Old Cao, are you going too far! You are Tianhong's teacher! Why do you return the gift to the students!"

A senior domestic sci-fi writer who had been writing for many years, applauded and said to Cao Xingkui in a mocking manner.

"Hehe, Mr. Li! You are still the same. I am Tianhong's teacher, but today, he is my teacher! There is no before and after learning, and the master is the teacher! As far as his current understanding of science fiction, I Why not!"

Cao Xingkui looked at the half-bowed students on the stage, his cloudy eyes were filled with relief and pride!

"Yes! I agree with what Lao Cao said. As far as this kid's acceptance speech is concerned, it will definitely be included in the book and become a classic speech of the Gimpler Award. It will be remembered by later generations! The development of science fiction comes from imagination, science The direction of development is the starry sky! Amazing!"

Another old man sighed sincerely.

At the same time, there are not a few writers who have similar sentiments with them, and many of them are even bowing their heads.

Of course, these people did not include Liu Yifei and Tang Qianqian.

Liu Yifei blushed with excitement and clapped vigorously. This is her boyfriend!How excellent!How proud!

Although Tang Qianqian was also applauding vigorously, her head was a little dazed. She hadn't turned the corner yet, the first half and the second half of the song didn't match what she had imagined!
It's so romantic, why did it finally talk about the truth!Brother, I'm not talented enough, I don't have enough realm!

However, everyone applauds for you, you are awesome!I, Tang Qianqian, am completely convinced this time!

ps: This chapter is written with a headache, partly borrowed from Da Liu's acceptance speech, the name of the ballad is "Singer", I will put it in the easter egg chapter, and interested book lovers can listen to it.
