Chapter 572: "3 Bodies"
Chapter 572: The Three-Body Problem (1)
The opening plot of "The Three-Body Problem 1" is the story of the chapter "The Three-Body Problem, King Wen of Zhou, and the Long Night" in the novel of the same name.
However, movies are different from novels after all. Due to limited length, the overall story has been simplified to a certain extent.
When "King Zhou" played by Christian Bale asked "King Wen of Zhou" played by Li Xuejian what he had realized by looking at the sun, "King Wen of Zhou" drew the bronze sword from his waist, then drew a pair of large yin-yang fish on the floor, and drew sixty-four hexagrams around them.
The huge Tai Chi Bagua diagram looked like a huge tree ring that appeared and disappeared under the flickering firelight, and then "King Wen of Zhou" also popularized the so-called calendar knowledge to "King Zhou".
He used mathematics and astronomy to predict the movement of the sun in this world, and correctly calculated several alternating eras of stability and chaos, which also earned his theory the recognition of "King Zhou".
So when the accelerated time came to a long and eternal era predicted by "King Wen of Zhou", "King Zhou" shouted "Soak--"
Then the audience saw shriveled human bodies like leather rolls being thrown into the lake, which immediately absorbed water and stretched into countless cheering figures.
However, the happiness of these people and King Zhou did not last long, because there was an error in the calendar calculation of King Wen of Zhou. The predicted sun did not rise, but three flying stars passed through the sky instead.
This means that long and severe cold years are about to come, so cold that stones can be frozen into powder.
On the big screen, heavy snow was falling from the sky in the dark night, and it was getting heavier and heavier. The snowflakes were also large and heavy, like condensed darkness.
After a while, the snow continued to fall, but the snowflakes had become thin and transparent, and in the faint light of the torches shining through the pyramid entrance, they appeared a transcendent light blue, like countless flying mica flakes.
The snowflakes are solidified oxygen and nitrogen, and the entire planet's atmosphere is disappearing in absolute zero.
The pyramid was buried in snow. The bottom layer was snow, the middle layer was dry ice, and the top layer was solid oxygen and nitrogen.
Without the obstruction of the atmosphere, the night sky became extremely clear, and the stars looked like silver flames.
A line of words appeared against the starry sky:
This night lasted for forty-eight years, and Civilization No. 137 was destroyed in the severe cold. The civilization evolved to the Warring States level.
The seeds of civilization are still there, and they will restart and begin their fateful evolution in the Three-Body World once again...
Three flying stars flew across the starry sky. They were very close to each other, orbiting each other, and performing some strange dance in the abyss of space.
The two big words "The Three-Body Problem" appeared on the big screen as the title of the film. After the opening credits of less than ten minutes ended, the movie officially began at this moment.
The dark big screen lit up again, as if a pair of eyes were opening, and then virtual numbers, symbols and patterns appeared before my eyes.
At the same time, a gentle female electronic voice sounded in the ears of the audience.
"The Taixu system reminds you: moderate gaming is good for your brain, but addiction to gaming is harmful to your body!
Dear Mr. Qin Feng, you have been playing the game for 6 hours, please take a break. "
The image on the big screen shook, as if someone shook his head, and then as the virtual data and patterns in front of it were taken away, a relatively spacious room appeared on the big screen.
The room was extremely exquisite, with an ultra-modern feel. The walls on all four sides were made of some unknown material, but they were snow-white and smooth, without a single gap, and there was absolutely no stain, color difference, or dust to be seen.
There was a very soft light shining down from above, which quickly woke people up from their confusion and helped them adapt to the current situation.
Then the camera moves horizontally downward, and a strange white oval bed appears in the field of vision, with a very technological metal helmet on the bed.
At this time, the camera rose and moved forward to a mirror. The audience saw Qin Feng's young face through the mirror. The long shot with Qin Feng as the main perspective finally ended.
Combined with the prompt just now, it turns out that the opening part was actually a virtual game, and Qin Feng and the others were obviously in the game.
But if these people don’t save the world, what are they doing playing games?
The scene switched, and Qin Feng was walking in a corridor that was also shrouded in soft light. The walls and the floor of the quiet and wide corridor were so smooth that there was no stain on them. At first glance, one could tell that this place was not ordinary.
The camera turned to Qin Feng, and followed him through the corridor to a circular conference room. There were already quite a few people sitting in the room, including Shi Qiang, Ding Yi, Qin Yanni, Luo Ji, and other people who had appeared in the game with him before.
There are also familiar faces such as Liu Peiqiang, Han Duoduo, Zhao Hailun, Lin Wanru and Zhang Ying.
In addition, there are many people who wear white coats and look knowledgeable.
When they saw Qin Feng come in, they nodded. After he sat down, Shi Qiang spoke and roughly described what they had just experienced in the game, and then waved at the empty seat next to him.
"Okay, let Dr. Ma Zhao introduce us to the specific situation."
As he finished speaking, a familiar face appeared at the meeting.
It’s Dr. Ma Zhao played by Ning Lisuo!
But didn't he die in the previous movie "Transcendence"? Why did he appear here again?
The audience had some doubts in their minds, but after Dr. Ma Zhao's introduction, everyone understood.
It turns out that the place where Qin Feng and the others are now is not reality, but a virtual consciousness space built based on the ancient creation "Bronze Sacred Tree", the collective subconscious sea, and a supercomputer.
And the game that Qin Feng and his friends just participated in was not really a “game” at all.
Not long ago, China's special affairs department arrested the leader of the ETO organization, Mike Evans (see "Cold War 2"), who came to Hong Kong to attend a party.
The organization has been carrying out terrorist acts to subvert human society around the world, starting wars in many countries, releasing poisons and biological weapons, and committing numerous crimes. It has been the focus of attention and wanted by many countries in the world and the United Nations.
However, their organization seems to have a powerful intelligence system, and actions against them are unlikely to achieve great success. They usually only eliminate or capture some minor characters within the ETO organization.
The arrest of Mike Evans this time is undoubtedly a big gain.
But big gains often mean risks.
First of all, Mike Evans’ identity is not simple. He is an international shipping tycoon. He is wealthy and has many assets under his name. He belongs to the upper class in the West.
This kind of people were secretly arrested by the Chinese authorities. Although it was said that it was because of the ETO organization, this reason is not easy to tell the public openly, as it is easy to cause confusion.
However, if the reason is not announced, it will easily cause misunderstanding among the public, especially since China and the United States recently faced a super hurricane on the sea together, which attracted the attention of the world and made the situation very tense (see "Ball Lightning").
Moreover, although various countries are targeting the ETO organization, there is cooperation, as well as differences and competition in the world.
For some countries, the ETO organization is dangerous, but they also show a lot of technology far beyond this era and a lot of wealth and funds. It's like a meat bun just out of the pot, although it's hot, but delicious.
For example, the ETO organization has no base in China, but they have industries in South Korea, Japan, and the United States. Because of the United Nations' characterization of the organization, they were naturally swallowed up by the governments of these countries.
China has been watching obediently and has not intervened.
But your rules may not be the same for others.
Now that the leader of the ETO organization, Mike Evans, has been arrested by the Chinese, anyone can guess that he must be involved in a lot of interests.
So other countries were not happy about this and said that people like Evans must be escorted to the United Nations and that all countries must participate in his trial.
If all countries cannot participate together, then at least the top few powers in the United Nations should participate.
In this regard, the Chinese government has been refusing to give in and is engaged in verbal battles with other countries, bearing tremendous pressure.
But it is definitely impossible to bear this kind of pressure forever, so now it depends on Shi Qiang and others.
The special affairs department needs to obtain enough important intelligence from Mike Evans as soon as possible to prove the correctness of China's detention of him.
But Evans would definitely not cooperate, so the special affairs department used its trump card, the black technology that had already been verified in the Galaxy Cinematic Universe's work "Inception" - the subconscious dream entry device.
There was also a close-up of Mike Evans lying in a dream machine on the big screen.
Of course, just having this instrument is not enough. After all, the subconscious dream entry instrument has significant limitations, which has been revealed in "Inception".
Therefore, what Dr. Ma Zhao introduced in the movie "The Three-Body Problem 1" is the new technology upgraded based on the subconscious dream entry device.
This technology had actually been explained in the previous "Transcendence" Easter egg. With the help of the ancient black technology creation "Bronze Sacred Tree" and the crystal glazed wall that Ma Zhao left to Shi Qiang, plus the subconscious dream technology, a "virtual pure land" can be opened up in the network data world.
This "virtual pure land" can also be called "the underworld", "the sacred mountain", "the blessed land", or even "heaven".
Anyway, this is an extremely large virtual digital dream space. Using it as a transit station to connect to Mike Evans' surface consciousness, it avoids the disadvantage that entering a dream will provoke confrontation with the target consciousness.
Because this cannot be considered as a real dream. To use the setting in "Inception", this is a 0.5-level dream.
If they want to continue exploring the secrets of Mike Evans, they must enter a virtual game created by Evans' memory, subconsciousness, and a large amount of information data.
The reason for choosing virtual games as the carrier is to avoid being in a dream for too long which may easily confuse the boundary between reality and dreams. At the same time, it reduces the difficulty of entering a dream, so that others can also solve the problem together by entering the game.
At present, under the leadership of Shi Qiang, a senior dream stealer, they have been playing the game called "Three-Body" for some time. Combined with the information and intelligence of the ETO organization, they have also inferred a lot of useful content.
The world composed of Evans' memory and subconsciousness is a very strange world. This world is different from their earth. The law of its sun's movement is very strange, so that this world has produced the so-called "Constant Era" and "Chaotic Era".
"We have already experienced the destruction of civilization No. 121 in flames, and now this civilization No. 137 has been destroyed in the severe cold. What do you think about this?"
Shi Qiang raised the question and everyone began to discuss and summarized some useful information. For example, astronaut Cheng Xin proposed a guess, which was recognized by many scientists.
After discussing the "Three-Body" game, the experts and scholars on the scene left, leaving only a few core members.
At this time, Shi Qiang waved his hand, and a picture was projected in the air, in which countless zombies with distorted expressions were attacking the army.
"Train to Busan" was released not long ago, and everyone can tell at a glance where this scene came from.
Sure enough, I just heard Shi Qiang say:
"Because of Evans' arrest, the remaining forces of the ETO are currently acting extremely crazy."
He sighed.
"Zombies infected with a special virus have appeared in South Korea. Although the situation has been brought under control, the casualties there are extremely serious."
"There has been another monster attack on the coast of the United States."
A new projection image emerged, showing a shark shoal in Hawaii, where a giant crab emerged from the sea and clamped a large yacht with its claws.
"Also in Europe, the base of the Kingsmen has been destroyed, and underground forces in Europe have become unusually active."
"At present, only China is better off, but things definitely can't continue like this."
Shi Qiang glanced at "Cold Front" Liu Peiqiang who had not spoken much, and then said:
"It is certain that those guys have a secret mobile base at sea that serves as the command center for their organization.
It just so happens that we are now under considerable pressure from various governments, so it has been decided to carry out a strike against the ETO's mobile command base.
On the one hand, it is to crack down on the arrogance of the ETO organization and eliminate potential threats.
On the other hand, it also distracts the attention of various countries. After all, compared to Evans, the mobile command base also has considerable value.
Moreover, the information in the base may also help us better solve the "Three-Body" game.
So, Leng Feng, Zhao Hailun and I will participate in this strike operation. In the next period of time, the strategy of the game "Three Body" will be handed over to Comrade Qin Feng. If you are short of manpower, you can choose from the participants just now."
Shi Qiang glanced at Qin Feng, and the young man immediately nodded to show that he understood.
"Remember to report to me at any time if there is any situation. Okay, does anyone have anything else to say?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"If not, let's adjourn the meeting."
As he finished speaking, the remaining figures in the conference room turned into data streams and disappeared into the air, leaving only this empty room, which finally fell into darkness like a turned-off monitor.
