I don't remember why I read this series of novels at the beginning, but I remember that when I first started reading him, I was always in an intermittent state of shock. Every part of reading seems to open a door to a different world. Surprise, accident and shock followed one after another, constantly impacting my brain and thinking. So much so that when I was studying, I even dreamed that the starry sky was at my feet. My city was sucked into the whirlpool by this vast starry sky, and I was lost and lost after waking up.
In his book, Liu presents us with an infinite universe (yes, the universe can't be described by the word "world", the world is too small, even the universe is a little small), and human beings are just a bug in this vast universe. The whole series is divided into three parts: Three-body I: The Past of the Earth, Three-body II: Dark Forest and Three-body III: Immortality of Death. In the process of reading step by step, I feel from shock to depression, from depression to despair, from despair to unwilling, from unwilling to calm. This book collects many golden sentences, but the last one that haunts me is the sentence "Most people never glance out of the world until they die".
The whole book involves a lot of knowledge of physics and mathematics, but these eventually rise to the philosophical level. Reading through, in addition to shocking the vast space and time, also produced a reflection on the universe and civilization. People are like ants, so is the universe? Everything has a cause, everything has a result, and there is a causal cycle. Isn't death eternal?
But when I wanted to write some comments for this book, I found that there were too many angles. It is of little significance to summarize the main contents of each book clearly and easily; Analyze the logical loopholes inside, there are too many; Dig deep into various technical terms and related knowledge mentioned in the book? The project is huge, and it may be impossible to study one of them for a lifetime. Just pretend that nothing happened and tell me the most shocking thing.
1, a virtual game-"Three-body"
In Three-body I: The Past of the Earth, the author invented a virtual game for us. The world created by this game is the destruction and rebirth of a distant interstellar civilization for 200 times. There are three suns and two eras: the eternal era and the chaotic era. According to the changes of the times, people there choose dehydration (completely draining the water in the body and turning it into a dry fibrous object) or soaking in water to wake up. To adapt to the environment of different times. Here, you will find Confucius, Mozi, Qin Shihuang, Galileo, Newton and Einstein, who crossed the historical era and gathered together with cultural background to form a brand-new world.
2. Red Shore Base
Behind the virtual game design of "Three-body" is a woman's ambition. This woman, Ye, used the Red Shore base to explore alien civilizations and discovered another civilization in the universe besides the earth-"three-body civilization". So she sent the first signal to the "three-body" civilization centered on the sun in the universe. In this process, she did not hesitate to kill her own leader and husband to achieve this goal. But it was this launch that completely changed the fate of the earth and the whole universe.
3. Naoko
"Three-body civilization" sent "Naoko" to shield earth science after receiving the signal from "Earth civilization". These "wise men" can clearly see what people on earth are doing and can display subtitles on human eyes. And the earth rebels, headed by Ye, have also become Naoko's chess pieces.
1, Side Wall Plan, Side Wall Man, Broken Wall Man
After being locked in science and technology by Naoko, the earth civilization has fallen into an unprecedented crisis. People who have gone through hardships have established a space fleet and made a "side wall plan" by using the transparent thinking of "Three-body Man". The plan is under the responsibility of the Planetary Defense Committee (PDC), and four people are elected. Because they need to avoid Naoko's surveillance, their thoughts and practices don't need to be known to anyone. This is destined to be a lonely battle. At this time, the Earth Rebel Earth Three-body Organization (ETO), which works for Naoko, also selected four wall-breakers to attack the side wall.
2. Doubt chain
That is, in the vast environment of the universe, no civilization can decide the good and evil of other civilizations at the beginning, which leads to doubts. In the case that it is impossible to judge whether the other party is safe or full of malice, the chain of suspicion will be extended for a long time. So, once discovered, they will choose to attack each other.
3. Technological explosion
Among all civilizations in the universe, when one civilization receives the information exchanged by another alien civilization and finds its own weakness through comparison, it establishes a chain of suspicion, during which it will get the information of other civilizations, thus making an explosive breakthrough in technology.
4. Dark forest
Every civilization in the universe is a hunter with a gun, sneaking in the forest, gently pushing the branches in the way, trying not to make a sound, even breathing carefully; He must be careful, because the forest is full of sneaky hunters like him. If he finds other life, there is only one thing he can do: shoot it. In this forest, others are hell and an eternal threat, and any life that exposes its existence will soon be destroyed. This is the law of the dark forest, that is, the picture of cosmic civilization, and the explanation of Fermi's paradox.
1, ladder plan
Humans sent a person's brain into space and were intercepted by the "three-body civilization" to restore the whole body before this life.
2. Bunker World
Humans have established the solar system federation, and 64 space cities have been established after Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus. In order to avoid the destruction of the huge energy released by the alien civilization after hitting the solar system.
3. Field
Transform the solar system into a low-speed black hole. That is, the solar system is completely isolated from the rest of the universe, which is equivalent to reducing the diameter of the universe from16 billion light years to 50 astronomical units and living in a world with the speed of light of 16.7 kilometers per second. Electronic computers and quantum computers can only run at a very low speed, retreat to a low-tech society, and lose the ability to fly out of the low-speed region forever.
4. Bidirectional foil
Weapons used by advanced alien civilizations to attack other civilizations.
5, dimensionality reduction strike
Turn a three-dimensional world into a two-dimensional world. All three-dimensional things will become a thin piece of paper.
Step 6 return to the universe
The matter in the small universe returns to the big universe.

Finally, I attach the mind maps of three books, hoping to sort them out. If there are any mistakes, please criticize and correct them.
