After I was reborn, I became a great writer

Chapter 368 Long time no see, Professor Ding Yi!

Sometimes people are walking, walking, and before reaching the end of the road, they have forgotten their original intention and lost their way. In the end, all they care about is the final result, and they don't remember the reason why they started in the first place.

Just like the same story, it said that a Chinese pastoral dog raised by the neighbor Lao Wang died. He was very sad and wanted to be cremated, and then take the ashes of the pet dog back to his hometown for burial, and buried it in the place where it was born. During the roasting process, he found that the more roasted, the more fragrant, so he simply went out and bought a case of beer.
Later, what he brought back were leftover bones!
In reality, many things are like the old king, easy to get at the beginning, but difficult to keep, there are many people who start well, and few people who end well
Besley is also a person who has lost his original intention. He planned the ruling policies before he ran for the presidency, but after he was elected, the so-called New Deal decrees were actually promulgated, less than one in ten.

Most of the energy has been spent in various political struggles, especially in the past six months, and the focus has been on re-election and the "struggle" with Lao Beibi.

In order to be "unscrupulous" for re-election, he even borrowed the power of Chinese writer Hongwen. During his tenure, let alone for the whole world, he did for his own country and the people. There are only a handful of practical things!

This is Besley's thinking after reading the story of the king in Chapter 1. Based on this story alone, he has fallen in love with "Ball Lightning", because it is like "The Three-Body Problem". People are baptized with shock in the soul, and can reflect on life.

Besley also has a sense of substitution for the protagonist in the book, because he is also a person who has lost his original intention. The king in the story is a metaphor for the protagonist, and the tomb of the princess refers to his deceased parents.

However, Besley has no idea what the protagonist is pursuing, which can make him obsessively forget his parents, and why his parents died. The following Chapter 2 will answer these doubts.

The name of this chapter is "Prelude". When he saw it for the first time, he even wondered if Hongwen had arranged the contents wrongly, but he was quickly attracted by the description of the content, and he was so fascinated that he didn't even hear the thunder outside the window. .

The chapter opens with a recollection of the main character, the haunting nightmare of his life.

It was a thunderstorm night, and it seemed that the whole world was covered by dense lightning, but a hut was full of warmth. The protagonist celebrated his 14th birthday with the company of his parents.

The more stormy it is, the more precious it is to be a monk. Compared with the dangers outside, the warm embrace of home is always intoxicating.

In the candlelight of the cake, the father talked about life for the protagonist. Life is like a candle, fragile and erratic, unable to withstand a breeze, but it radiates fiery light, giving people hope for life.

Just as the family of three was discussing life, there was another burst of violent lightning outside the window, and Besley in reality also felt a flash of white light in the house, which also came from outside the window, and the thunder was louder
Then he saw a terrifying description in the book, a mysterious object the size of a basketball, with a hazy red light passing through the wall, suspended on the oil painting of the gods carnival on the wall, as if it came from a ghost in the painting, It made a whistling sound, which was deep and sharp, reminiscent of a ghost blowing the xun in the ancient wasteland.
It was erratic, patrolling the house with a special trajectory, and finally found the target, hovering over the head of the protagonist's father, and the sneer made the mother grab the father in horror.

At this time, through the eyes of the protagonist, you can see its interior. In the translucent red light, a large group of small blue stars flew out from the abyss where there was no light and fog.
Then there was a dazzling white matter and a loud noise, as if the whole world had exploded. The protagonist saw his parents' bodies turned gray and white, standing still like two statues. This scene was like a dream!
The protagonist touched his father's body with his hands, trying to wake up the dream, but saw the most terrifying picture:
The two statues collapsed, like a miniature avalanche, falling to the ground and turning into two piles of white ashes, and there was nothing else left!
The knowledge of physics learned let the protagonist understand that a high temperature of at least 2000 degrees is required to turn a human body into ashes. However, at such a high temperature, other items in the house are intact. The only thing that has changed is that the food in the refrigerator is cooked. fridge intact
This phenomenon is beyond human comprehension. The protagonist thinks it is a dream, but the death of his parents is a bloody reality. After waking up, the protagonist is obsessed with it and will spend his whole life unraveling the supernatural mystery that made him an orphan. puzzle!

He called this mysterious object Ball Lightning!

A white light flashed, covering the warm yellow light in the house, and then the thunder rang through the sky and earth, shaking people's hearts. Besley, who had just finished reading "Prologue", couldn't help but shuddered, subconsciously got up and scanned The whole room did not find that terrifying "ball lightning", so they were relieved.

"Ah"

Seemingly feeling that his actions just now were a bit ridiculous, Besley laughed at himself.

As a graduate of a famous university, he naturally knows the principle of lightning. After becoming president, he has also seen various supernatural phenomena recorded in top-secret files. Feel the fear.

Shaking his head to shake off the sense of fear, he continued to read. He wanted to see how Hongwen described ball lightning, a technology that almost shined in "Three-Body Problem".

In order to solve this supernatural mystery, the protagonist took many courses related to it, and acquired knowledge to the point of madness, causing a beautiful female student named Dai Lin in the class to often look at him with strange eyes.

Strangeness also represents curiosity. She asked the protagonist, what are you looking for in the book?

What is the purpose of your doing this!

For this girl who can be called the campus goddess, the protagonist's response is very cold, and the conversation ends with a cold "You won't be interested!"

The identification is undoubtedly a straight man, a bit like Wang Miao in the first part of "The Three-Body Problem". Besley feels this way because the next main line is very similar to Wang Miao's experience. , As for the name, I don't know.

During the summer vacation of his sophomore year, the protagonist returned to his hometown, but to his surprise, there were various signs in the house that showed that there were still people active during the two years he left. The most straightforward example is that the glass on the table was turned upside down!

He clearly remembered that when he left home, the rim of the glass was facing up, and there was a brightly colored water tower added to a landscape painting that his father had not finished.
What's even weirder, he found a few long hairs on the edge of the sink in the bathroom, which looked like his mother's hair before she was alive, but when he picked it up, the hairs disappeared strangely in mid-air
The protagonist hurriedly called the neighbors around to inquire, and learned that no one had entered this old house in the past two years!

Is it haunted?

He shuddered, and sat there all night, finally chose to close the door and leave, and this time, he might never come back.

When he saw this, Besley found the feeling he had when he watched the first part of "The Three-Body Problem". He remembered the strange phenomenon that Wang Miao encountered. The phenomenon described in this book may not be so shocking, but it is frightening.

After returning to school, the protagonist begins to study atmospheric electricity. He wants to learn more about ball lightning. The professor who teaches this course is Zhang Bin!
During school, the protagonist often went to him to ask questions in his heart.

However, the old professor has been avoiding this question, and very bluntly warned the protagonist not to be keen on these illusory things, and even forbade the protagonist to choose "ball lightning" as the topic of the thesis for graduate students.

However, Gao Bo, another mentor that the protagonist met when he was studying for a Ph.D., clearly supported the protagonist’s research, saying that there is no need to worry about the difficulty of this subject, and you should use pencil and paper to outline a mathematical model as a theoretical work of art.

Of course, it is more than just a theory, it actually exists in nature, even if many scientists disagree, it is a fact
Encouraged by Gao Bo, the protagonist decided to continue his research. Before the start of the doctoral program, he thought about going home again. When passing by Mount Tai, he suddenly remembered that Zhang Bin once said that a physicist had witnessed ball lightning on the top of the mountain. So he got out of the car and planned to go up to the top of the mountain to have a look.

In the process of climbing the mountain, the protagonist meets a beautiful girl, wearing a white shirt and a pair of white jeans. She climbs the mountain at a very fast speed, which cannot even be compared with an empty-handed porter.

"White jeans? Beautiful girl, hehe, the heroine should have appeared. This guy Hongwen has a deep obsession with jeans! I remember that Luo Ji's beautiful wife also likes to wear jeans."

Besley joked a few words, took a sip of the coffee on the side, and refreshed himself.

If nothing else, the official plot is about to begin, after all, the heroine has appeared.

The protagonist successfully arrives at the weather station on the top of the mountain, and the deputy director of the weather station turns out to be his classmate Zhao Yu when he was a graduate student.

With the help of Zhao Yu, he learned about the "ball lightning" incident that happened on the top of the mountain from the old cook at the weather station. The phenomenon he described was similar to what the protagonist saw when he was a child. Among them, one of the wounded people was their mentor, Zhang Bin!
And from the mouth of the old cook, Zhang Bin made up his mind to spend his whole life researching "ball lightning".

The protagonist couldn't understand what he heard. If that's the case, why did the old professor stop himself from doing research?Wouldn't more than one person help?

While thinking, there was a heavy rain on the top of the mountain. Between lightning and thunder, the protagonist saw the beautiful girl again. She stood quietly and looked up to the sky, letting the strong wind blow away her short hair. Intertwined to form an unforgettable picture.

The protagonist couldn't help the throbbing in his heart, talked aloud, and learned that she was actually here to observe the process of thunder and lightning generation, so as to artificially create thunder,

The protagonist jokingly said what artificial mines are for, maybe it is to kill people.

In the end, the girl actually nodded, and solemnly described their blueprint, so the protagonist learned her true identity. She is a doctoral student at the National University of Defense Technology, majoring in air defense weapon systems, or a soldier to be precise!
Her name is Lin Yun!
"Lin Yun. How does Lin Yun feel that he has seen it somewhere? It seems to have appeared in "Three-Body"."

Besley had a flash of inspiration, got up and ran to the bookshelf, first picked up the first volume of "The Three-Body Problem" "Once Upon a Time on Earth", after thinking about it, he picked up "Dark Forest".

After returning to the desk, I hurriedly turned to the chapter of "Insects". Sure enough, when Ding Yi was explaining physics knowledge to Wang Miao, he pointed to the photo in the frame and introduced a friend.

It was a young and beautiful major female officer, her name was Lin Yun, and Ding Yi said that she had made key contributions to the study of ball lightning.

Besley then turned to "Dark Forest". In the chapter "Water Drops", he found that Ding Yi once said a word to the female officer who accompanied him to detect water drops. It was said in a tone of nostalgia.

【Son, when I see you, I think of someone I once loved. She is also a major officer. She is not as tall as you, but she is as beautiful as you.】

Now Besley knows who this person is, it is the heroine in "Ball Lightning", Lin Yun, but she is not a major yet.

There is really love at first sight in the world, the protagonist fell in love with Lin Yun deeply, and even told her the biggest secret hidden in his heart, what happened on that nightmarish birthday night.

The two then chatted about the topic of "ball lightning".

Lin Yun asked: Do you hate it?

The protagonist's answer is that it is difficult to generate hatred for a mysterious thing, no matter how much disaster it brings you. At first he had it and wanted to unravel it, but with the research, he was completely Fascinated, just like the story of the king building a tomb for the princess.

At this time, a breeze came. Lin Yun began to recite poetry.

[The street lights in the distance are bright, as if countless stars are shining! 】

[The stars in the sky appeared, as if countless street lamps were lit! 】

The protagonist followed up with the second half of the song.

[I think there must be a beautiful market in the misty sky! 】

[Some items displayed in the market must be rare in the world]

"Romantic poems from the East, haha, I almost forgot, Hongwen himself is also a poet, very interesting, I think the Chinese version is even more romantic!"

Besley looked at the poem composed of English words on the computer screen, with a warm smile on his face, and then it turned into a playful one.

"Hehe, I finally know who Professor Ding Yi's love rival is. It turns out to be him! A character who has never appeared in "The Three-Body Problem". I hope you don't become a supporting role like Wang Miao."

Thinking of this, Besley suddenly thought of something. Since "Ball Lightning" is the prequel of "Three-Body Problem", is it possible for him to appear in a familiar character?
It should be, he quickly scrolled down, did not look at the content, but looked for the name in his memory, and after reading seven or eight chapters in a row, he finally saw the familiar English word.

An old man with many vicissitudes emerged in his mind, raising his hands and shouting hoarsely
"It's been a long time, Professor Ding Yi!"

At this time, the thunder outside the window gradually subsided, and the sound made by the bean-sized water droplets falling on the ground, Besley heard it like the sad words shouted by the old man:

【Stupid children, run quickly.】

ps: The poem is not original by Da Liu, it is taken from Mr. Guo Moruo's "Street Market in the Sky". "Ball Lightning" is the last science fiction novel written in detail. There are almost 2-3 chapters. If you don't like it, you can skip it.
