Three bodies

The meeting place for "Three-Body" netizens is a secluded small coffee shop.In Wang Miao's impression, game netizen gatherings in this era are lively gatherings with a large number of people, but this time there were only seven people including himself, and those six people, like him, looked nothing like him. game lovers.There are only two younger ones, the other three, including a lady, are all middle-aged, and there is an old man who looks to be in his 70s or [-]s.

Wang Miao originally thought that everyone would have a heated discussion about "Three-Body Problem" as soon as they met, but now he realized that he was wrong. The strange and far-reaching connotation of "Three-Body Problem" has had a deep psychological impact on the participants, making it difficult for everyone, including Wang Miao himself, to talk about it easily.Everyone simply introduced themselves to each other. The old man took out a very delicate pipe, filled it with shredded tobacco and smoked it. He walked to the wall to admire the oil paintings on the wall.Others sat quietly waiting for the party organizers to arrive, and they all showed up early.

In fact, among the six people, Wang Miao already knew two of them.The old man with white hair and childlike face is a well-known scholar, famous for endowing Eastern philosophy with modern scientific connotation.That strangely dressed lady is a famous writer, a rare novelist with an avant-garde style but has many readers. It doesn't matter which page she writes from.The other four are two middle-aged people, one is the vice president of the largest software company in China (dressed plainly and casually, you can’t see it at all), the other is a senior leader of the State Power Corporation; two young people, one is A reporter from a major domestic media, and the other is a doctoral student in science.Wang Miao now realizes that a considerable part of the players of "Three-Body Problem" may be social elites like them.

The organizer of the party came soon. Wang Miao's heart beat faster when he saw him. This person was actually Pan Han, the number one suspect in killing Shen Yufei.He quietly took out his mobile phone and texted Da Shi under the table.

"Hehe, everyone came so early!" Pan Han greeted relaxedly, as if nothing happened.He changed from his usual dirty homeless appearance in the media, wearing a suit and leather shoes, he looked elegant, "You are almost as I imagined, all of you are elites, "Three-Body Problem" is prepared for people like you, Its connotation and artistic conception are difficult for ordinary people to understand; the knowledge required to play it is of a high level and deep content, which is impossible for ordinary people to possess."

Wang Miao's text message has been sent: I met Pan Han at the Yunhe Cafe in Xicheng District.

Pan Han went on to say: "Everyone present here is an excellent player of "Three-Body Problem", with the best grades and dedication. I believe that "Three-Body Problem" has become a part of your life."

"It's part of life," said the young doctoral student.

"I saw it by accident on my grandson's computer," said the old philosopher, raising the handle of his pipe. "The young man gave up after playing a few times, saying it was too profound. But I was attracted by it, the profound connotation, We are fascinated by the spooky and aesthetic conception, the logical world setting, the massive amount of information and precise details hidden under the simple appearance." Several netizens, including Wang Miao, nodded repeatedly.At this time, Wang Miao received a text message from Da Shi: We saw him too, it's all right, what should we do.Pay attention, you have to try to be extreme in front of them, but don't go too far, that way you can't pretend.

"Yes," the female writer nodded in agreement, "From a literary point of view, "The Three-Body Problem" is also remarkable. The rise and fall of the two hundred and three rounds of civilization are really beautiful epics."

She mentioned 190 rounds of civilization, but Wang Miao experienced [-] rounds, which made Wang Miao convinced again: "Three-Body" has an independent process for each player.

"I'm really tired of the real world, and "The Three-Body Problem" has become my second reality," said the young reporter.

"Really?" Pan Han interjected with great interest.

"Me too. Compared with "The Three-Body Problem", the reality is so mediocre and vulgar." The vice president of IT said.

"Unfortunately, it's just a game." The leader of Guodian said.

"Very good." Pan Han nodded, and Wang Miao noticed the excitement in his eyes.

"There is a question that I think we are all eager to know." Wang Miao said.

"I know what it is, but you can ask." Pan Han said.

"Is "Three-Body" just a game?"

Netizens nodded one after another, obviously this is what they are eager to ask.

Pan Han stood up and said solemnly, "The Three-Body Problem is real."

"Where is it?" Several netizens asked in unison.

Pan Han sat down and was silent for a long time before opening his mouth: "Some questions I can answer, some I can't, but if you have a predestined relationship with the Three-Body World, one day all questions will be answered."

"So, does the game show some real elements of the Three-Body World?" the reporter asked.

"First of all, in many rounds of civilization, the dehydration function of Trisolarans is real. In order to cope with the unpredictable natural environment, they can completely drain the water in their bodies at any time and turn them into dry fibrous objects to avoid A harsh climate that is totally unsuitable for survival.”

"What does a Trisolaran look like?"

Pan Han shook his head: "I don't know, I really don't know. In each round of civilization, the appearance of Trisolarans is completely different. In addition, the game also reflects a real existence in the world of Trisolarans: humans and computers."

"Ha, I think that's the most unreal!" said the vice president of IT, "I did a simple test with hundreds of employees in the company. Manual calculations are slow."

Pan Han smiled mysteriously and said, "Yes, but if each of the 3000 million soldiers who make up the computer can wave a black and white flag [-] times in one second, the speed of the light cavalry on the bus is several times the speed of sound or even Faster, the result will be different. You just asked about the appearance of the Trisolarans. According to some indications, the Trisolarans that make up the computer may be covered with a layer of total reflection mirror. Evolved from survival under harsh sunlight conditions, the mirror surface can change into various shapes, and they communicate through the light focused by the mirror surface. The speed of information transmission in this light language language is very fast, which is how the human computer can The basis of existence. Of course, this is still a very low-efficiency machine, but it can indeed complete calculations that humans cannot do by hand. Computers did first appear in the form of humans in the three-body world, and then mechanical and electronic type."

Pan Han stood up and walked around the backs of the netizens: "All I can tell you now is: as a game, "Three-Body Problem" just borrows the background of human beings to simulate the development of the Three-Body Problem world. To provide a familiar environment, the real Trisolaran world is very different from the game, but the existence of the three suns is real, which is the basis of the natural structure of the Trisolaran world."

"Developing this game must have taken a lot of effort, but its purpose is obviously not to make money." IT vice president said.

"The purpose of the game "Three-Body Problem" is very simple, it is to gather like-minded people like us." Pan Han said.

"What kind of aspiration and what way?" Wang Miao asked, but immediately regretted it, thinking carefully whether his question showed a little hostility.

This question really made Pan Han fall silent. He looked at everyone here one by one with meaningful eyes, and said softly, "If the Three-Body Civilization is going to enter the human world, what is your attitude?"

"I'm very happy," the young reporter broke the silence first. "What I've seen over the years has made me disappointed in human beings. Human society is no longer capable of self-improvement and requires the intervention of an external force."

"Agreed!" the woman writer exclaimed, excited, as if she had finally found a chance to vent something, "What is a human being? What an ugly thing, I have been using the scalpel of literature to expose this kind of thing for the first half of my life." Ugly, now I am tired of even this kind of exposure. I yearn for the Three-Body Civilization to bring true beauty to this world."

Pan Han didn't speak, and the excited light lit up in his eyes again.

The old philosopher waved his extinguished pipe and said with a serious face: "Let's explore this question a little deeper: what impression do you have of the Aztec civilization?"

"Dark and bloody, the gloomy firelight in the jungle illuminates the bloody pyramid, this is my impression of it." The female writer said.

The philosopher nodded, "Very well, then imagine what impact this civilization would have on human history if the Spaniards did not intervene later?"

"You are turning black and white," the vice president of IT said, pointing at the philosopher. "The Spaniards who invaded America at that time were nothing but robbers and murderers!"

"Even so, they at least prevented the following from happening: the unrestricted development of the Aztecs, turning America into a bloody and dark empire, when the age of democracy and civilization in America and all mankind would be later Come, or even not appear at all. This is the crux of the problem - no matter what the Trisolaran civilization looks like, their arrival is always a boon to the terminally ill human civilization."

"But have you ever thought about it? The Aztec civilization was finally destroyed by Western invaders." The leader of Guodian said, looking around at the same time, as if seeing these people for the first time. "The ideas here are very dangerous."

"It is profound!" The doctoral student raised a finger and nodded to the philosopher, "I also have this idea, but I don't know how to express it. You said it very well!"

After a while of silence, Pan Han turned to Wang Miao: "The six of them have expressed their attitude, how about you?"

"I'm on their side." Wang Miao said, pointing to journalists and philosophers.If you say too much, you will lose, he just simply answered this sentence.

"Very good." Pan Han said, turning to the vice president of IT and the leader of Guodian Corporation, "You two are no longer suitable for this party, nor are you suitable for continuing to play the "Three-Body Problem" game. Your ID will be canceled , please leave now. Thank you for coming, please!"

The two stood up and looked at each other, then looked around in confusion, then turned and walked out the door.

Pan Han stretched out his hand to the remaining five people, shook hands with them one by one, and finally said solemnly:
"We are gay now."
