2022-09-15: So, what is the actual creation date of this post?
Novel Title: "World";
Author: Zhao Haihong;
I have also read a piece called "Blue Mountain" in this series, which is also very good.
Synopsis:
With the development of technology, humans began to colonize outer space, but the resources on Earth were depleted by this cosmic reclamation movement, and human society was ultimately destroyed by a chain reaction caused by a nuclear fusion power plant accident. Among the planets colonized or developed by humans, only one called "Gaia" (the mother of the earth in Greek mythology) has developed. The people here proudly call their planet "World" because it is almost the only human world left in the universe.
On Gaia, except for the reserved areas for plants and animals, everything is filled with spirit wave materials. In the lake water, on the streets, on the floors and stairs of buildings, on the beds... wherever there is movement, people design and incorporate spirit waves to convert the energy that would have been wasted in daily life into spirit wave energy. The frictional force when people walk or run on the ground, and even the impact force generated by jumping off a cliff, are all absorbed and converted... and everyone has a target (everyone has a "spirit wave meter" to record the value of the spirit waves they produce, which can be exchanged for money, but it requires a lot), those who fail to meet the target will be exiled to Earth...
Please allow me to slack off for a while and sit by your side. I will finish the work on my desk later.
Without you in front of me, my heart does not know what tranquility and rest are. My work has become an endless labor in the boundless sea of labor.
Today, the scorching summer comes to my window, whispering softly: the bees sing freely in the palace of flowers and trees.
This is the time for meditation, to be with you, and to sing the hymn of life in this silence and boundless leisure.
- "Gitagalli", meaning "hymn". Offered to God, to creation, and to life itself.
A playwright, after reading this passage in an ancient book in the library, suddenly didn't want to read a book while pedaling on the spirit wave reading chair. He wanted to read a book properly without creating spirit wave values...
At that moment, I suddenly doubted whether in this world, those who were constantly spinning like tops under the whip of "spirit wave values" were truly fulfilling the mission of life and practicing the meaning of survival, or simply toiling endlessly in the boundless sea of labor.
I suddenly wanted to stop. Maybe not to stop, but to rest. To truly rest, without even thinking about creating spirit wave energy in my dreams.
I gently caressed the ancient book in my hand through the protective cover, and my heart pounded with excitement. It was as if I had found something I had been searching for a long time, a treasure lost since childhood...
But because of this, he faced the risk of being exiled...
Novel Title: "The Earth Cannon";
Author: Liu Cixin;
Synopsis:
With the depletion of resources on the major continents and the deterioration of the environment, the world turned its attention to Antarctica. The sudden rise of two powerful countries in South America gave them the same status in the world political landscape as they had on the football field, making the Antarctic Treaty meaningless. However, human reason prevailed in another aspect, and the final process of completely destroying nuclear weapons worldwide began. With the achievement of global denuclearization, the competition for the Antarctic continent became somewhat safer for humanity.
There are two ways to destroy nuclear weapons: dismantling and underground detonation. During an underground detonation in China, another experiment was conducted. A piece of alloy was placed at the center of eight nuclear bombs detonated simultaneously. After the nuclear explosion, the alloy disappeared and a hole with a depth of ten thousand meters appeared on the ground. In other words, the tremendous pressure generated by the explosion transformed the alloy into a new solid state that would sink when placed on the ground...
Stones sink in water, but they do not sink on ice with a density lower than that of water... This is how the concept of "floating ice and sinking water" came about...
Novel Title: "In a Foreign Land";
Author: Luo Longxiang;
I won't write a synopsis because I always tend to abbreviate...
