Affleck is an old science fiction fan and has read countless science fiction novels. Of course, there are many descriptions of the vastness of the universe, but this time he felt particularly deeply.
He thought about it carefully and felt that it was because he brought Hai Qiu with him this time.
The planet they live on was their entire world when they were born. But now people are wandering around the universe with their sea balls, and they feel helpless like being rootless and being beaten by the wind and rain.
.
When Jupiter slowly rises, their planet is like a weak child, and even their only support becomes so small.
However, it was also because he had read too many science fiction novels, so after Affleck calmed down, he felt that although the idea of wandering with a sea ball was very sad, it was a bit unreasonable.
Since you want to escape, why don't you pack lightly and carry such a heavy sea ball?
As said in the debate between the spaceship faction and the sea ball faction at the beginning of the novel, if there is no time, the sea ball will not have time to accelerate fast enough and fly far enough, the sun will explode, and then there will be nothing.
However, the Sea Globe School also has its own reasons. There are no planets in Sagittarius, and the nearest star with planets is 850 light-years away. The fastest spacecraft that humans can currently build can only reach 0.5% of the speed of light.
It would take 170,000 years to get there, and an ecosystem the size of a spaceship would not be able to sustain even one-tenth of that time.
Only an ecosystem as large as the ocean and such a majestic ecological cycle can keep life going for generations.
This statement makes sense, but from a scientific point of view, the existing resources of the sea ball cannot enable long-distance navigation at all, and the sea ball relies on the sun. Once it is far away from the sun, the magnetic field of the sea ball is likely to be disordered.
When ecological extinction occurs, the consequences are equally tragic.
Affleck thought for a while, then shook his head. He was reading a science fiction novel, why did he think about this?
Let’s think about whether you are a spaceship or a sea ball person.
In fact, reason tells him that if one day comes, he will definitely be a spaceship fan.
Traveling lightly and cutting off redundancies is a rational choice. Even if the ecosystem of the spacecraft collapses after eons, at least the biological genes of their sea world will still remain, and the fire of human civilization may be reborn in another unknown place.
ignite.
But for all mankind, the spacecraft is too small and can accommodate too few people. The problem of who should be allowed on and who should be allowed to stay cannot be solved at all.
Ask yourself, Affleck himself cannot sacrifice his life for justice.
Perhaps according to the approach of the Spaceship Faction, the final result will not be a major civil war, but it should also be controlled by those capitalists, and the life and death of the poor will be in the hands of the rich.
Of course, Affleck was not the only one to consider this issue first. When "The Wandering Sea Ball" was released in China, many netizens in China discussed this matter.
It's just that this discussion is less popular than the topic "Little Broken Ball, have you wandered today?", so not many people have noticed.
But Affleck has fueled the conversation.
After reading "The Wandering Sea Ball", he immediately posted an Instagram update. Not only did he talk about his feelings after watching "The Wandering Sea Ball", but he also initiated a topic discussion at the end: Are you a spaceship fan or a fan?
Sea ball faction?
Because Affleck was among the first readers to finish the book, and because he was afraid that spoilers would affect the reading experience of subsequent readers, he did not introduce in detail what the Spaceship Faction and the Sea Ball Faction were in the update.
Those readers who have not read the book can only run to read the book first.
[Affleck is indeed pz’s number one fan. I just saw this book published on the website, and you actually finished it.]
[I am from the sea globe faction. It is impossible for the spaceship faction to do this. There are too many people on the sea globe.]
【junzibuhuanguaerhuanbujun】
[What is being said upstairs? Why can’t you understand it at all?]
【Hahaha, this guy must be a Chinese.】
[The man upstairs must be a Chinese, otherwise he wouldn’t know this sentence. 】
[I’m sure many people don’t know what the Spaceship Faction and the Sea Ball Faction are, so I’m going to give you some popular science about the so-called Spaceship Faction…]
【Spoilers for Si Family.】
[There are spoilers in the building!]
[Here comes a permission dog to ban the spoiler dog.]
[Brother, this is Instagram, except the official one, how can I ban it?]
【Oh, I thought it was on the literature website.】
[I am a spaceship sect, and the sea-sphere sect is too emotional. For the sake of the inheritance of mankind, we must make a choice. 】
[Yes, advanced civilizations don’t care about the life and death of some people. The most important thing is to let the civilization continue. 】
[But pull it back, the spaceship faction can't do it at all, there is still some hope for wandering with the sea ball. 】
[Is there any hope for the Sea Globe Sect? How far can a resource like the Breaking Ball support space navigation? Maybe everyone will die in the end.]
[Haha, my home is gone, what else can I say?]
[I think the Spaceship Party might as well come out and write "Evacuate the Sea Ball", I promise to watch it.]
[I feel that pz is a spaceship fan. Look at his description of human beings facing disasters. Can this be written by a sentimental sea globe fan? 】
[Pull it down, pz writes about wandering sea balls, not evacuated sea balls.]
[Let me just ask, if one day the spaceship really evacuates, will you be willing to stay and let others get on the ship? 】
【……】
【I do.】
【I do not want to.】
[I don’t know, it’s hard to say, I won’t express my opinion.]
[What you are asking is nonsense. I dare say that 99.999% of the people who support the spaceship faction want to get on the ship themselves. They will not care about the life or death of others. ]
…
At the beginning, under Affleck’s post, most of the netizens who seriously discussed whether they were the spaceship or sea-ball faction were actually Chinese.
Because the English version of this book has just come out, not many North Americans have read it.
However, as time goes by, it is getting later and later in China, and many netizens have gone to bed.
At this time, more readers in North America have read this book, filling the gap left by Chinese netizens and becoming the main force.
In just over half a day, the discussion between the spaceship faction and the sea globe faction became a hot topic in North America.
This hot topic has also successfully traveled back and has also become a hot topic in China.
Zhang Zhong had anticipated the debate between the spaceship faction and the sea globe faction in advance, so he was not surprised when he saw the overwhelming news on the Internet.
His attention now is not on "Wandering Sea Ball", but on the table of contents in front of him.
This is the list of stories he finally selected after screening last night. They are all fairy tales that he thinks are very good, including classic fairy tales such as "Snow White" and "Sleeping Beauty".
