Three Body 1: Earth's Past

Chapter 31 Earth's Three-Body Movement
There are so many people who are completely desperate for human civilization, hate and betray their own species, and even regard the elimination of human beings including themselves and their descendants as the highest ideal. This is the most shocking thing about the Three-Body Movement on Earth.

The Three-Body Rebels on Earth are known as a spiritual aristocratic organization, and most of its members come from the high-level intellectual class, as well as a considerable number of elites in the political and economic circles.Trisolaris has also tried to develop membership among the general public, but these efforts have failed.For the negativity of human beings, ordinary people do not have as comprehensive and profound cognition as the advanced intellectuals; more importantly, because their thoughts are less influenced by modern science and philosophy, the instinctive sense of identification with their own species still occupies a strong position, To betray humanity as a whole seemed unthinkable to them.But the intellectual elites are different. Quite a few of them have already thought about issues outside of human beings.Human civilization has finally bred a powerful force of alienation within itself.

The speed of the development of the Three-Body Rebel Army is astonishing, but its strength cannot be measured by its numbers alone, because most of its organization members are in high-level positions in society and have great power and influence.

As the supreme commander of the Earth's Three-Body Rebel Army, Ye Wenjie is only a spiritual leader and does not participate in the specific operations of the organization. She doesn't know how the Three-Body Rebel Army, which later became very large, developed, and she doesn't even know the details of the organization. number of people.

The governments of various countries have not paid enough attention to the Earth Trisolaran rebels.In order to expand rapidly, the organization operates almost semi-publicly, knowing that one thing will be their natural protection, that is, the conservative and poor imagination of the government.In the relevant departments that hold national power, no one believes what they say, but treats them as general nonsense radical organizations. Due to the high level of its members, governments of various countries have always treated this organization with caution.It was not until the Three-Body Rebels began to develop their own armed forces that the security agencies of some countries noticed it and discovered that the organization was extraordinary; as for the effective attack on it, it was only the past two years.

The Earth Trisolaran rebels are not monolithic. It has complex factions and branches inside, which are mainly divided into two parts:

Advent faction: This is the most original and purest line of the Trisolaran rebels, mainly composed of believers in Evans species communism.They have completely despaired of human nature. This despair originally originated from the mass extinction of species on the earth caused by modern civilization, and Evans is a typical representative of it.Later, Adventist hatred of human beings began to have different starting points, not limited to environmental protection and war, and some rose to a rather abstract philosophical level.Unlike later people's imagination, most of these people are realists, and they don't have too many expectations for the alien civilization they serve. Their betrayal only stems from despair and hatred of human beings. Mike Evans A quote from the Adventists has become the motto of Adventists: We don't know what alien civilizations look like, but we do know humans.

Salvation faction: This is a faction that emerged after the Three-Body Rebels appeared quite a long time ago. It is essentially a religious group composed of followers of the Three-Body Sect.

Another civilization other than human beings is undoubtedly of great attraction to the advanced intellectuals, and makes it very easy for them to have all kinds of beautiful fantasies about it.For such a naive civilization as human beings, the attraction of higher alien civilizations is almost irresistible.There is an inappropriate metaphor: Human civilization has always been an ignorant teenager walking alone in the desert of the universe. Now she (he) knows the existence of another opposite sex, although he (her) cannot see his (her) face and But knowing that he (she) is far away, the beautiful imagination of him (her) spreads like wildfire.Gradually, as the imagination of that distant civilization became richer and richer, the Salvationists developed religious feelings towards the Trisolaran civilization in spirit, and the three stars in Sagittarius became Mount Olympus in space, which is the abode of gods. This is how sports education was born.Unlike other human religions, Trisolaris worships a real object; contrary to other religions, it is the Lord who is in danger, and the believer is responsible for salvation.

The way to spread the Three-Body Problem to the society is mainly through the game "Three-Body Problem".The Three-Body Rebels invested a huge amount of power in the development of this large-scale game software. The original purpose was, firstly, a means of preaching the Three-Body Sect; Reach out to the most basic level of society and recruit younger members from the middle and lower levels of society for the organization.The game interprets the history and culture of the Trisolaran world through a shell that looks like human society and history, so as to avoid the strangeness of beginners.When the game player reaches a certain level and feels the charm of the Three-Body Civilization, the Three-Body Organization will directly contact them to examine their ideological tendencies, and finally recruit qualified players as members of the Earth Three-Body Rebels.But the "Three-Body Problem" game has not attracted much attention in the society. Playing this game requires a high level of knowledge background and profound thinking. Young players do not have the ability and patience to penetrate its seemingly ordinary surface. , discover its shocking inside story.Those who are really attracted by it are mostly people from the intellectual class.

Most of the members who joined the Salvation faction later learned about the Three-Body Problem through the game "Three-Body Problem", and finally joined the Earth's Three-Body Rebel Army. It can be said that the game "Three-Body Problem" is the cradle of the Salvation faction.

While the Salvationists have religious sentiments towards the Trisolaran civilization, their attitude towards human civilization is far less extreme than the Adventists. Their ultimate ideal is the Savior.In order for the Lord to survive, the human world can be sacrificed to a certain extent.But most of them believe that being able to make the Lord survive in the three-sun Centaurus galaxy and avoid its invasion of the solar system is an ideal ending with the best of both worlds.They naively thought that solving the physical problem of the three-body problem would achieve this goal and save the two worlds of the three-body world and the earth at the same time.In fact, this idea may not be naive. The Three-Body Civilization itself has had this idea for quite a long time, and the efforts to solve the Three-Body Problem have run through hundreds of reincarnations of the Three-Body Civilization.Those who have a deep background in physics and mathematics among the Salvationists have all tried to solve the three-body problem. Even after learning that the three-body problem is mathematically unsolvable, they still did not stop working hard. The effort to solve the three-body problem has already It has become a religious ceremony of Trisolaris.Although there are many first-class physicists and mathematicians in the Salvation Faction, this kind of research has not produced major results. It is a genius like Wei Cheng who has nothing to do with the Three-Body Rebels and the Three-Body Religion. A breakthrough of hope.

The Adventist faction and the Salvationist faction have always been in a sharp confrontation. The Adventist faction believes that the Salvationist faction is a major threat to the Trisolaran Movement on Earth.This view is not unreasonable. It is through some responsible people in the Salvation faction that the governments of various countries gradually learned about the shocking background of the Three-Body Rebels.The two factions have equal strength in the organization, and the armed forces of both sides have developed to the point of fighting each other.Ye Wenjie used her prestige to try to heal the rift in the organization, but with little success.

With the development of the Three-Body Movement, a third faction emerged among the Three-Body Rebels: the Survivor Faction.When the existence of an alien fleet invading the solar system is definitively confirmed, surviving that ultimate war is the most natural desire of all.Of course, the war is 450 years later, and has nothing to do with this life, but many people hope that if human beings are defeated, their descendants will survive four and a half centuries later.Serving the three-body invaders now is obviously conducive to the realization of this goal.Compared with the other two mainstream sects, members of the surviving faction all come from lower social classes, and most of them are Orientals (especially Chinese). Their current number is still small, but their number is increasing rapidly. The future of popularization will become a force to be reckoned with.

The alienation power generated by the defects of human civilization, the yearning and admiration for higher civilizations, and the strong desire to let the descendants survive the ultimate war, these three powerful forces promote the rapid development of the three-body movement on the earth. When it is detected, it has become The trend of starting a prairie fire.

At this time, the alien civilization was still four light-years away in the depths of space, four and a half centuries away from the human world, and what they sent to the earth was only that beam of radio waves.

Bill Matthew's theory of "contact symbols" has been perfectly confirmed in a heart-pounding way.
