What do you mean by three people?

Three-body man, the population in Liu's science fiction novel Three-body and its derivative works, is an alien intelligent civilization population. Alpha Centauri, 4 light years from the solar system.

Basic information

Chinese name: three people

Mbth: Trisolarans

First novel: The novel Three-body and its derivative works.

Possible families and genera: slow-moving animals

Reproductive mode: fusion reproduction

Civilization level: the second kind of civilization

Three-person appearance ability

There is little specific information about this alien in the book, but because it can resist high temperature and strong light for many days at the same time, it is speculated that its skin may be like a mirror. The living environment of this creature is very bad. In the long process of evolution, the three people evolved the ability of dehydration and other similar dormant States, and then soaked and resurrected in a relatively mild period. The communication mode of three people is brainwave communication, which is similar to telepathy, so it has the fatal defect of poor strategy.

The course of civilization of Santi people

Santi's civilization has experienced nearly 200 times of destruction and rebirth. After a long period of choice and evolution, Santi people abandoned cowardice and became calm and rational, and their social form was also a highly centralized authoritarian society. It should be noted that the three-body man in the book only refers to the latest generation of three-body civilization, which is completely different from the previous three-body civilization of more than 200 times, that is to say, more than 200 three-body civilizations were not created by the same species.

Since ancient times, the three-body man has been trying to solve the three-body problem, and it has been proved that there is no solution. For the continuation of civilization, Sandy decided to emigrate to outer space. After learning about the existence of human beings, the three-body people set the immigration target as the solar system, successively launched Naoko and water droplets into the solar system, and sent the three-body first fleet to the solar system. Due to the side wall plan of the earth civilization, Luo Ji, a side wall man, used the dark forest method to establish a deterrent to the three-body first fleet, and the three-body first fleet was forced to turn to deep space, so the three-body people had to establish the ultimate deterrent with human beings. When human beings became more and more satisfied, the three-body man lifted the ultimate deterrent after the swordsman took over, and sent the third-body second fleet to the solar system, but the position of the three-body galaxy was broadcast by human spacecraft (gravity) in the starry sky. Since then, the goal of the trio has become to escape. Three-body civilization was eventually destroyed by light particles emitted by higher civilization in the unknown universe, and less than one thousandth of the population survived, including a few people who survived the light particle attack and the first and second fleets that had sailed, which continued the wandering of three-body civilization in space.

Demographic description of threesome

The memory and consciousness of the three-person can be partly passed on to the next generation, thus evolving advanced scientific and technological civilization in the harsh living environment. Because the three people communicate with each other through brain waves, the communication speed is extremely fast, and there is no privacy and secret between individuals, which leads to a utopian collectivist authoritarian society, and there are no concepts such as lies, deception and concealment in its culture, that is, "transparent thinking". Therefore, humans put forward the "ladder plan", and started the cloud Tian Ming brain to detect the three-body first fleet. In the long process of evolution, the three men abandoned cowardice, suppressed their feelings and became calm and rational. To some humans, this is like being ruthless.

The reproductive mode of three-person is: when they are combined with the opposite sex, the organic substances that make them up will be integrated, two thirds of which will provide energy by biochemical reaction, and the other one third of the cells will be completely renewed to generate a new body and split into three to five young individuals, which are their descendants. Limited by the data, the appearance and detailed body structure of the three people are still unknown, but it can be inferred that their surfaces are similar to a mirror.

According to the known biological system on the earth, the three people can actively dehydrate and hibernate, which is very similar to the latent function of some terrestrial species in reptiles. Therefore, some people speculate that although the three-person is technologically advanced, it is not necessarily a higher creature, and it may be more similar to the "Zerg" in games and science fiction movies.

In the book, the three-person has much more advanced technology than human beings, such as antimatter engine, water droplets and naokou. However, in its long history of civilization, technology has always developed at a constant speed or even at a slow speed. The Santi people predicted that without Naoko's basic science of locking the earth, human beings would have an overwhelming advantage over it after four centuries. Fifty years after the establishment of the ultimate deterrence, there is still a gap between human civilization and the three-body civilization at that time in two or three scientific and technological times. At the time of ultimate deterrence, a technological explosion occurred in the three-body civilization, marked by curvature-driven light-speed spacecraft.

After the disappearance of the three-body galaxy, the third-body second fleet fled to the starry sky and fought against unknown alien civilization in Taurus. The result and ending are unknown. The starship civilization developed by the Three-body First Fleet continues to grow and develop, and even has super technology including making a small universe. In Universe 647, Cheng Xin and Guan Yifan received a super-film broadcast containing1500,000 civilized languages from the universe, which proved that this is a great civilization that left traces in the universe.
