Tianya trilogy, which of the three futures of the earth do you choose?

Arthur clarke's Tianya Trilogy includes The Last Earth Man, Song of the Far Land and Light of the Earth. If you want to search online, you will find that the last part of the trilogy is battlefield earth. That's because Panda Publishing House used to change the name of Light of the Earth to Battlefield Earth. Later, under the favorable comments of many readers, it was changed back.

As a British writer Clark (19 17-2008), who is tied with Asimov and heinlein, his works are not only hard science fiction, but also often accompanied by relevant scientific materials. In his science fiction, the main idea is to discuss and predict the future technological and social possibilities of mankind, and he has done a very good job in this respect.

He predicted space technology, cryonics and brain memory backup; It also puts forward a very subtle and scientific idea for global communication satellites. On the basis of this idea, we have today's telephone communication, satellite TV and weather forecast, so the orbit of global satellites is called "Clark orbit".

Tianya trilogy was written in different times, and its contents were unrelated. Is assembled into a trilogy, because these three works are about the future of the earth (human) three ideas:

? "The last man on earth" is a lie. Pay attention to imagination, and the tortuous plot is very wonderful.

? Distant earth song is poetic and remote. Sighing at the structure and humanity, it is magnificent in order to continue the sowing action of human beings.

? "Ground light" is reality. In the scene description, Rizan said that the final war scene was horrible, and the pattern after that was real.

? Part I: "The Earth and the Super Lord"

An alien civilization suddenly descended on the earth, and spaceships appeared in major cities (visual sense of independence day), which brought peace to the controversial earth at that time, provided all kinds of cool and advanced technologies, and greatly improved people's quality of life. However, in this generation that has experienced all kinds of pains, there are still some people who can't fully believe the motivation of this "super master" who has never appeared before, set up a resistance organization and try their best to find out. In the end, the super-Lord did not punish him, but promised him to appear 50 years later because of the calculation of human acceptance.

? Part II: "Golden Age"

When the camera turned to 50 years later, the "super master" appeared. No matter how many hard-shell monsters with sticky eyes or big mouth with thorns in the past few decades, human beings are fully prepared, but all they come up with are super masters: feathered wings, small horns and a barbed tail. The most terrible thing in legend has happened. Demons have been on the earth for decades, and they are not recognized as "haunters" by the earth people.

However, these 50 years have not been in vain. During these 50 years, all kinds of technologies provided by the Super-Lord have greatly improved people's lives. The factories that produce most automated robots provide consumers with a steady stream of products, and daily necessities are completely free. People either work for luxury or do nothing. Crime is neither necessary nor possible. In addition, due to two human inventions, people's customs patterns have also undergone major changes. The first is the absolutely reliable oral contraceptive, and the second is the invention of blood paternity test as reliable as fingerprint identification. The past family customs have completely collapsed (that classmate, please stop shouting about sexual freedom! )

People don't know how lucky they are.

Humans have achieved so much happiness in their whole lives that other races have never even heard of it. This is a golden age. However, gold is also the color of sunset and autumn. Only the super-Lord's ears can catch the first cry of the winter storm, and only they know how ruthlessly this golden age will come to an end.

? Part III: "The Last Generation"

Humans have gradually adapted to this kind of life, and the enjoyment and social activities that only money and leisure can enjoy in the past are highly developed. Virtual movies and sensory stimulation are getting closer to reality. By stimulating all the senses and using hypnosis, a person can become anyone, at least for a short time, he can take part in any imaginary adventure.

Of course, some people built a city called "New Athens" on an island to resist the spread of these recreational activities. As an experiment, it hoped to be the old Athens, but it replaced slaves with machines and superstitious old Athens with science. Even the "super lords" were interested in it and sent people to inspect it. However, when the movement has not achieved any results, the last moment has arrived.

The change first happened to children, and only happened to children.

Children began to have strange dreams, and people became strange and ignored people. To this end, everyone went to seek the help of the "super-Lord" and got the following answer:

We call this phenomenon a comprehensive breakthrough. Since the day we came to the earth, we have been waiting for this day. The child's mind has become a channel. For example, if everyone's mind is an island surrounded by the sea, each island looks isolated, but in fact their bases are closely connected. If the ocean disappears, the islands will disappear, and they will all become part of the whole continent, but their individuality will die from now on. There are many races in the universe, and some of them discovered this ability long before you or even us appeared. They have been waiting for you to join them, and now it's time. "

Sarasa is one of the descendants of the Earth's colonial star. Why colonize? Generally speaking, there is a crisis to have motivation. Since 1956 discovered neutrinos, most people in the world are ignorant and indifferent to this discovery, except that this tiny but uncharged little guy is a neutron but has no mass. However, unconsciously, the countdown to the finish line has slowly begun.

Thanks to neutrinos, at the end of the 20th century, scientists discovered that there was something wrong with the warm fireball in our galaxy inside the sun. The United Nations submitted "Several Memorandums on Solar Reaction" to governments, and with the leakage and speculation of news, governments finally announced the truth that "the earth will be destroyed". The reaction of the masses was not as panic as expected. They were shocked and speechless at first, then shrugged their shoulders and went on with their daily lives.

Few governments will look to the future after the next election, to say the least, even if human beings face the death penalty, the day of execution is still far away. The sun will not explode in the future 1000. Who will cry for their 40th generation?

In the contact between Sarasa and Magellan, the first batch of earth-seeding spacecraft set off from the Earth in 27 15 and arrived in Sarasa in 3 109. To the surprise of people's later generations, this spacecraft came from the Earth, not from other colonial planets. The difference is that this wave of immigrants began in 3600, and the speed increased from the first generation of 1% to 5% due to the invention of quantum engine. However, with the increase of speed, more attention should be paid to the influence of matter in the universe during high-speed navigation. So in front of Magellan, there is an ice shield. This time, when Magellan arrived at Sarasa, he prayed for 654.38+ten thousand tons of water to make a new ice shield, so as to continue sailing.

During the two years of making the ice shield, more than 65,438+000 awakened crew members and residents of Sarasa Star have their own stories. On the one hand, the two sides exchanged new technologies for hundreds of years, on the other hand, young people who were unwilling to be lonely began to fall in love. The description of Sarasa Star is beautiful and rigorous, and even a little story of rebellion and species conflict is added.

With the completion of the ice shield, Magellan's crew also faced a serious problem: Since Sarasa is perfect and our technology can transform it to accommodate everyone, why should we continue sailing? Finally, after everyone's arguments and moral considerations, Magellan took off early and continued his journey under the bright light of the quantum engine.

The story begins with the moon. Saddler is an anti-spy. He was sent to the moon disguised as an accountant. In fact, he is going to catch enemy spies who have been leaking information to the major leagues. At that time, the background, the earth and the moon and other planets in the solar system formed a big alliance in the war between the two sides. Although the main line is spies, in fact, the highlight of this book is the last war on the moon, which not only makes a brief description of the post-war situation and pattern very reasonable, but also makes the whole people burn in minutes:

"For the sake of interstellar peace," Professor Moreton said, "May no one on earth ever play the role we once played." The background is the mural scenery 200 years ago, 400 thousand kilometers away. The characters are a spy and an anti-spy-they are drinking. Their hearts are full of memories, but there is no bitterness in this memory. There is nothing more to say. For them, the story is over.
