Chapter 1564: Chapter 1256: Dark Forest System
Zhong Continent.
A certain villa.
Ye Cong tore open the cover of a book.
The cover of the book had two words written on it:
The Three-Body Problem!
On the table, there were two other books, namely "The Three-Body Problem II: The Dark Forest" and "The Three-Body Problem III: The End of Death."
That’s right.
Today is the release of Chu Kuang’s Three-Body series.
Ye Cong immediately had the bookstore send it over to him.
With his status and position, the bookstore certainly wouldn’t refuse.
Taking a deep breath.
Ye Cong opened the book and started reading.
Although he acknowledged Chu Kuang’s strength, Ye Cong had a bit of arrogance in his heart and didn’t feel unsure about competing directly with Chu Kuang in science fiction.
The opening of The Three-Body Problem shockingly depicts the battle scene of the Red, Guard, and Soldiers.
Alternate reality?
Ye Cong mused.
Ye Cong knew a bit about Chu Kuang.
This person likes to set an alternate background when writing books.
For example, the martial arts novels by Chu Kuang, it’s probably a unique writing habit of Chu Kuang, and veteran readers are accustomed to it.
Although it was never publicly admitted:
Actually, Ye Cong was also a veteran reader of Chu Kuang.
Of course, almost all writers from Blue Star have read Chu Kuang’s works.
People like Ye Cong, a special "veteran reader," aren’t few indeed.
Continue reading the book.
This is a crazy era!
As the first scene unfolds, Ye Cong is struck with emotion and finds it increasingly shocking.
This is Chu Kuang’s fearsome trait!
Even though it’s an alternate background, he describes it as if the background wasn’t fictional!
Especially when a knowledgeable physicist is beaten to death before everyone’s eyes.
Ye Cong felt a sense of indescribable heaviness.
Chu Kuang, using a cold pen, crafted a moving special era backdrop.
Continue reading the book.
The story’s perspective shifted to a girl named Ye Wenjie.
It turns out the physicist who died during the battle was the girl’s father.
And the person who betrayed her father...
was the little girl Ye Wenjie’s mother!
The girl who died first was Ye Wenjie’s sister!
Pitiful!
This little girl is too pitiful!
Ye Cong couldn’t help but sympathize with Ye Wenjie.
At the same time, Ye Cong couldn’t help but wonder if the character with the surname Ye was related to him.
Chu Kuang’s book happens to be used to duel with him, and coincidentally, he’s Blue Star’s number one science fiction writer...
Forget it.
It’s not important.
Ye Cong eagerly wanted to know what happened to Ye Wenjie next, thus the Red Coast Base naturally emerged.
Ye Wenjie entered the Red Coast Base.
A mysterious-sounding organization.
Immediately after that.
The timeline suddenly jumped to thirty-eight years later!
Ye Cong was dumbfounded, realizing the previous Chapters were just novel background?
At this time, Ye Wenjie has already become a middle-aged woman in her forties.
The Red Coast Base gradually surfaced;
Ye Wenjie uncovered the dusty history;
Wang Miao’s pupils reflected a ghost countdown;
The coordinates of Earth were captured, and the game "The Three-Body Problem" appeared!
The story formally began!
Ye Cong finally understood the intent of that alternate background:
Ye Wenjie’s tragedy was actually a microcosm of the entire grand era.
When she saw the message "Do not respond, do not respond, do not respond," she resolutely chose to reply.
At this moment, Ye Wenjie hoped the alien civilization could save this sick world.
Reason for action.
The novel’s structure became more complete because of this!
But what surprised Ye Cong the most was the game called "The Three-Body Problem!"
Zhou Wen Wang, Zhaoge, King Zhou’s settings were introduced one by one.
The dehydrators that appeared in the game left Ye Cong speechless!
Those dehydrated human skins were still living creatures!
The book provided a continuous description of the "Three Days" game for several Chapters.
Considering the title of the novel, only a fool would treat "The Three-Body Problem" as an ordinary game.
Words of thousand hidden within this game.
Especially the end of the game.
The Three-Body warship fleet is advancing towards distant Earth at a tenth of the speed of light!
Whether frightened by the plot or for some other reason.
Cold sweat crept up Ye Cong’s back.
...
Today is Sunday.
Ye Cong is reading.
Readers are also reading.
Like the honest office worker Guo Jing.
Guo Jing is a programmer who loves science fiction novels, having just finished reading "Across the Solar System" yesterday, which he adored.
This morning, "The Three-Body Problem" was released, and naturally, he bought a copy too.
Upon returning home, Guo Jing began reading, be it Ye Cong or Chu Kuang, they are his favorites.
The former is Blue Star’s foremost science fiction writer; science fiction fans have read his books, every one brilliant!
Although the latter hasn’t written much science fiction, each book is equally outstanding, particularly some innovative concepts unforgettable!
Guo Jing believes these two are of the same caliber of science fiction writers!
Finally.
In the afternoon.
Guo Jing finished reading the first part of "The Three-Body Problem."
After reading, Guo Jing was emotionally stirred, and couldn’t help comparing it to "Across the Solar System."
"Neck and neck!"
The first part of The Three-Body Problem is indeed well-written, but the overall pace of the story is too slow, with too much effort spent on setting up the background. As a result, by the end of the book, the Trisolaran have not yet appeared.
However, the setting of things like Sophon is truly amazing.
Amazing enough that even though the aliens haven’t shown up, just with some flashy moves they’ve already raised Guo Jing’s level of expectation.
If I had to choose a winner, Guo Jing thinks The Three-Body Problem is better.
Of course.
This is just the beginning.
Guo Jing feels that to fully compare the two books, he needs to finish reading the other two volumes of The Three-Body Problem.
With this thought, Guo Jing opened Dark Forest, the second volume of The Three-Body Problem.
It seems it’s this book in the series that truly marks the beginning!
Upon learning the Trisolaran fleet is about to invade Earth, humanity did not sit idly by!
The United Nations began to unite and think of countermeasures.
At this moment.
Sophon continues to monitor Earth.
Any plans Earth openly makes will definitely be discovered by Sophon.
However, Sophon has one downside, or maybe it isn’t quite a downside, it’s a very normal thing—
Sophon cannot probe into the hearts of people!
Relying on this point, humanity decided to implement the "Wallfacer Project."
Selecting four Wallfacers.
These four individuals are to conceive battle plans against the Trisolaran entirely without external communication, and then execute those plans before anyone can see them clearly!
The first Wallfacer is an American, Frederick Taylor.
This person respects technology, advocating for the quantification of humanity’s fleet, using a quantum fleet to combat the Trisolaran, turning Earth’s army into undead ghosts to defeat the Trisolaran.
The second Wallfacer is the president of Venezuela.
This person’s plan is to bury a large number of hydrogen bombs on Mercury, and once detonated, it would also cause the Sun to explode, thereby destroying the entire Solar System, using mutual destruction to threaten the enemy.
The third Wallfacer is an English scientist.
This person advocates the best strategy is to escape, ensuring humanity is ready to flee.
And the last Wallfacer, also the protagonist of Dark Forest, is Luo Ji!
A scholar whose career is less than ideal.
Of course,
The Earth-Trisolaris Organization has not been idle; based on the Wallfacer Project, they’ve developed the so-called Breakwall Plan!
...
Wow!
Amazing!
Guo Jing is incredibly excited reading this!
It turns out the essence of The Three-Body Problem lies here!
The second book is where this series truly shines!
It’s so brilliant!
The plot is so captivating!
Guo Jing didn’t even realize it had become completely dark until his wife impatiently said, "It’s already twelve o’clock. If you don’t sleep, are you going to work tomorrow or not?"
Guo Jing was finally startled awake.
Goodness, he had read all day.
The helplessness of adulthood struck his heart; despite wanting to read all night, Guo Jing chose to wash up and sleep instead.
Five minutes later.
The lights in the home went out.
Yet Guo Jing stared wide-eyed into the faintly glowing window, his mind full of the plot of The Three-Body Problem:
Will the Wallfacer Plan succeed?
Can the Breakwallers see through the plans of the four Wallfacers?
The mysteries of The Three-Body Problem are too many, often just solving one mystery here, another mystery pops up elsewhere swiftly.
Guo Jing has too many curiosities.
He knows the answers to these curiosities lie in the following text.
As a result, half an hour later, still unable to sleep, Guo Jing suddenly sat up straight in bed.
"What’s up?"
His wife mumbled, "Aren’t you going to sleep? Are you not going to work? Not going to support the family?"
"Who’s up for some fun now!"
Adulthood brought Guo Jing a surprising moment of bravery, as he retorted at his wife, "I’m being willful today, so what?"
Might as well take a day off tomorrow!
Upon hearing this, his wife didn’t get angry; instead, a rustling sound came from the darkness.
A moment later.
His wife’s voice was bashful, "Next time just tell me earlier, we still have to work tomorrow, but this time I’ll indulge you."
"Thank you, darling!"
Guo Jing excitedly turned on the light.
After waiting for a while, his wife found Guo Jing hadn’t come over, turned around, and saw that guy reading again!
MMP!
His wife: "Weren’t you going to have fun? I even stripped, and you tell me you want to read?"
Guo Jing: ???
Isn’t reading all night fun enough?
...
Ignoring his wife’s complaints, Guo Jing stayed up late reading.
At this time.
Wallfacer Luo Ji, through cosmic sociology proposed by Ye Wenjie, suddenly had an epiphany:
"The universe is a dark forest, every civilization is an armed hunter, stealthily navigating through the forest like a ghost, carefully pushing away obstructive branches, striving not to make a sound with their steps, even their breathing must be cautious.
Because crises lurk everywhere within the forest!
There aren’t only countless prey, but hunters lurking just like him!
If he discovers other life, the only thing he can do is shoot to eliminate them!
In this forest, others are hell, an eternal threat!
Any life that exposes its existence will quickly be eliminated!"
Guo Jing’s eyes widened!
Almost forgetting to breathe!
The massive shock swept his soul like a storm, what a magnificent Dark Forest Theory!
Luo Ji is amazing!
The Dark Forest is amazing!
At this moment, in Guo Jing’s heart, the quality of The Three-Body Problem has fully surpassed Through the Solar System!
And on the same night.
Guo Jing wasn’t the only one reading through the night.
If this night were a dark forest, Chu Kuang would be the armed hunter within the forest, The Three-Body Problem is the trap he set up, and every reader is the prey!
The Three-Body Problem!
Emerging brilliance!
