Chapter 460 Science Fiction Is a Magical Existence

Luo Ji slowly stood up, took a last look at the tombstones of Ye Wenjie and Yang Dong, and walked along the path he had come from.

The story of "Three Body - Dark Forest" has come to an end.

...

In the blink of an eye, five years later.

During these five years, mankind has gained a rare peace. Luo Ji and Zhuang Yan have a child and live happily under the sun.

[Is this love? ]

Zhizi suddenly sent such a message.

["It should be," Luo Ji smiled and nodded. ]

In the Three Body world, their lives are almost without love, only survival.

"This is the Three Body man from before!"

"Damn it!"

"It's not dead yet! Isn't this the Three Body man who sent a warning message to Ye Wenjie?"

"It's alive until now!"

Seeing the content of the conversation between Luo Ji and this Three Body man, many readers were amazed.

However, although this pacifist Three Body man has lived to this day, he has also reached the end of his life due to the continuous aging of his body's dehydration function.

["Please accept our respect."]

Luo Ji said so.

Although the warning of this Trisolaran has no substantial effect, one thing is certain.

This Trisolaran is kind in the human perception.

As Luo Ji communicated with this Trisolaran, the sky gradually darkened, the sun set from the west, and the sunset was beautiful.

But such a beautiful sunset is the beginning of eternal night in the eyes of the Trisolaran.

[“The sun is about to set, your child is not afraid?”]

[“Of course not, she knows that the sun will rise tomorrow.”]

…

When Luo Ji’s last sentence fell, the content of "Three Body 2-Dark Forest" was all over.

When thousands of readers closed the last page, they still sat there, looking at the sun that was about to set and the gorgeous sunset on the horizon.

Masterpiece sequence.

If such a work cannot be called a masterpiece, then these readers really don’t know how many works in this world can be called masterpieces.

Especially when the last sentence, the sun on Earth will rise tomorrow, these readers are even more emotional.

Different situations will make different people look at things from different perspectives. The Trisolarians have no way to understand humans, but like the Earth, everything they do is for survival.

It may be too superficial to judge with simple good and evil.

As a physics teacher, Luo Shen has never had such a desire to express himself. This is the first time he has been shocked to such an extent by a novel.

Apart from the plot and the characters, "Three-Body 2" uses its calm but sharp words to look forward to the human nature behind the science fiction world.

It sharply reveals the irreconcilability between the production of reality and the ideal human nature.

"The truth of one era may become a fallacy in the next era."

"A hero for a period of time will become a sinner in the next time."

This science fiction novel is not cold.

Especially the dialogue at the end, it is the romance that the old thief left for the dark forest.

Use the sunshine in the dream to illuminate the dark forest.

"Readers of our time are really lucky."

Luo Shen murmured to himself.

Entertainment works, whether novels, movies, or animations, essentially create wonderful worlds one after another, and we in another world wander in these works.

So let alone a classic work, even a work of ordinary quality has the audience invested in real emotions.

Therefore, when the story comes to an end, it will be a loss.

Science fiction is even more special.

Science fiction is a very magical existence. You are obviously facing only a book, a story that does not belong to the real world, but the reader seems to be floating in the vast galaxy, as if he can feel the fear from the universe.

…

“Shocking…Such meticulous and comprehensive logic, profound and extensive knowledge, and intentional or unintentional mockery of contemporary human nature and politics, and it is also based on science fiction. My God, is this really a book written by Lao Zei?!”

“This is definitely the book that gave me the most goosebumps! Damn! It’s so awesome!”

“The scenes of the universe and the battle of fleet destruction are magnificent! In this work, Lao Zei obviously reduced the description of the love element, and he was very flexible…”

“The first axiom of cosmic sociology: survival is the first need of civilization! The second axiom of cosmic sociology: civilization continues to grow and expand, but the total amount of matter in the universe remains unchanged! It’s too classic!!”

“To be honest, I didn't think it was that amazing when I read the first part, but when the chapter of the Dark Forest opened, it suddenly became overwhelming, with magnificent imagination and smooth and coherent plot! "

"I suddenly felt that Lao Zei's Dark Forest Theory might be correct, otherwise how could humans always live in the peace of 'accident'? "

"Every planet is a prisoner of the universe! An epic work!"

"Too many ironies about humans. Before the Doomsday War, humans thought they had won, and began to widely support the so-called "Sunshine Plan" to accept all immigrants from the Three-Body World. It's ridiculous."

"The feeling of suffocation drowned by the narrative! ! It combines sociology, science fiction and literature perfectly!"

Thousands of Jiuzhou readers have been completely conquered by this "Dark Forest" during the reading process!

It is no exaggeration to say that it has a magnificent and epic feel.

In the previous life, after the release of "Three-Body 2", almost no reader could fault the plot of the showdown between the Trisolaran civilization and the Earth's civilization.

However, the shortcomings of most of the complaints are in the characterization and the description of Luo Ji's poor love line, which I feel is quite pale and flat.

Especially the character Zhuang Yan, described in science fiction terms as "a character so pale that he resembles a two-dimensional world."

But in this world, this problem is not a problem at all.

Because no one will question the old thief's ability to create characters and his grasp of writing about women!

Among all the works of Lao Zei, the heroine of almost every book is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The love between the heroine and the hero is so heartbreaking.

You said that the old thief can't write about love?

It’s better to say that hens can’t lay eggs!

But how to explain the largely flat relationship between Luo Ji and Zhuang Yan in "The Three-Body Problem"?

…

"Bullshit!"

“Don’t they know what the point of a novel is?”

“This is science fiction!!”

"They don't even know what character creation is for. They just learn a word and use it randomly!"

Mike was quite angry.

Especially when I see readers on social media saying that there are problems with the character creation of "The Three-Body Problem".

In Mike's eyes, this is simply a masterpiece among masterpieces!

In science fiction novels, it is impossible to have supporting characters that are not "flat"! !

That's what Mike means when he says, "This is science fiction."

Because in popular perception, characters in science fiction works are always literary and not artistic enough.

In previous lives, the works of those science fiction masters were like this.

This is true for Asimov, Clark, Heinlein, including Da Liu!

Is it because these master science fiction novelists are not good at character creation? Of course it's impossible, because creating characters is the most basic ability of an author, let alone these top authors.

But why this happens in science fiction works is that this is not the focus of science fiction novels.

Because the characters in science fiction novels, just like the characters in fantasy novels on the Internet, are all "typical characters". Typical characters are tools that serve the plot.

As for complex characters, they are people for whom the plot serves.

Generally speaking, tool people will show flat characteristics.

Therefore, when professional authors read books, they can immediately judge whether the character appears as a flat typical character or a complex character.

But it is difficult for most readers to judge. They will feel that this character has nothing to do with the main plot, and it does not make much difference to the plot whether he or she is there. They crudely assume that "the author is incompetent."

But the presentation of the characters all has their own purpose. Even if it has no impact on the plot, this is a complete world.

Just like a landscape painting with characters, removing the so-called trees and the so-called streams will not affect the characters at all.

But this is not a complete world.

If such trees and streams are painted too perfectly, they will overwhelm the scene and lose the color of the entire painting.

It can be seen from the story of "The Three-Body Problem" that Zhuang Yan is the spiritual power that supports logic.

And when Luo Ji was really thinking about the plan to deal with the Three-Body Civilization and confront the Three-Body Civilization, Zhuang Yan just "disappeared" from the work.

The supporting characters in science fiction novels are almost always created for the story.
