Someone mentioned the ending of "The Wandering Sea Ball".
"I seem to see the three golden suns of Centauri rising one after another on the horizon. Everything is bathed in its warm light. The solid air melts and turns into a blue sky..."
Many readers slapped their thighs and said, md, isn't this a case solved? The new book "The Three-Body Problem" must be about the Centaur.
[Everyone has been saying before that there will definitely be a sequel to "The Wandering Sea Ball", isn't it coming now? 】
[Yes, "The Three-Body Problem" should be the sequel to "The Wandering Sea Ball".]
[Will the new book tell the story of humans arriving at their new home? 】
[What will the human ocean look like at that time? How will humans evolve? 】
[Perhaps human beings have become completely different.]
[Will there be aliens in Centauri? Will we face a war after we go there? 】
【We should have been aliens in the past.】
[If the other party is highly civilized, then aren’t we throwing ourselves into a trap? 】
[Civilization is high, probably not much higher, otherwise it would be impossible not to discover us. 】
[Maybe people have discovered us already, but they are just waiting for us to fall into the trap. 】
[Maybe the new book is just about the journey to a new home.]
[I have read scientific analysis and found that the South Gate 2 star is actually not suitable for the sea globe, and we will not be able to survive normally if we go there. 】
【Do you want to continue wandering? 】
【What to do about the energy problem?】
…
For a time, everyone seemed to have determined that the new book "The Three-Body Problem" must be related to "The Wandering Sea Ball", and even labeled it as a sequel to "The Wandering Sea Ball".
Two days later, the English name of "The Three-Body Problem" also came out.
“The three-body problem”
You can see more things with English names, this is the difference in language.
[Three body problems? So, someone’s guess was right.]
[I don’t know why, but after seeing the English translation, I felt that the title of this book was a lot inferior.]
[Let me go, it’s not really a fantasy science fiction novel, is it? 】
[Maybe it’s a science fiction novel about biological science? 】
[It is also possible that Dune is a science fiction novel about ecological science, and it is not impossible for Zhang Zhong to write another science fiction novel about biological science.]
[So, it doesn’t matter if the three-solaris and the flow evolved into the wave sea ball? 】
[That’s not necessarily the case, maybe it’s because the Sea Globe people started to evolve after wandering and had three bodies, so it’s called a three-body problem. 】
【What a genius upstairs.】
After the English title came out, many readers expressed their speculations. Many people said that the English title sounded much lower than the Chinese title.
But soon someone came out and popularized it.
[I said, what is your posture level? Can this be translated into three body problems? 】
【How to say that?】
[Let me popularize it for you. The so-called three-body problem should be translated as the three-body problem. The three-body problem is actually a theory that has been around for a long time. At the first mathematics conference in the 20th century,
The great mathematician Hilbert raised twenty-three difficult mathematical problems in his famous speech, among which was the three-body problem. The specifics of the three-body problem...]
There are also some big guys among the readers who have popularized the three-body problem to other netizens.
The three-body problem is a basic mechanical model in celestial mechanics. It refers to the law of motion of three celestial bodies whose initial positions and initial velocities are arbitrary and can be regarded as particles, under the action of mutual gravitation.
Therefore, it is very correct to translate "Three-Body" into the three-body problem, because the name "Three-Body" comes from the three-body problem.
With the big brother's explanation, netizens finally understood that the content of the new book is related to a mechanical model called the three-body problem.
[Do the three suns in Centauri belong to the three-body model? 】
[In fact, among the few planets we have observed, they cannot form a three-body model. Proxima Centauri is far away from the other two planets, and its size is not particularly large, so it cannot affect the other two planets.
The movement of the planet]
[In this case, the Trisolaris has nothing to do with centaurs? 】
[Are you having a problem with your brain? This is a science fiction novel, not a science novel. The content is definitely not exactly the same as in reality. Besides, we don’t know Centauri well, so is there a three-body problem in that galaxy?
We are also unsure.]
[In this way, can it also echo the theme of the wandering sea ball? 】
[Why do you care so much about the Wandering Sea Ball memes?]
[I don’t care about the wandering sea globe, but I don’t really want Zhang Zhong to write ordinary planet novels this time, about battleships and the like.]
[Are your requirements too high? If you don’t write about these in galaxy novels, why should you write about them? 】
【Just wait and see, I hope it can surprise me.】
[There are surprises every time, you are just thinking about it. 】
…
"Well, this travel route is not bad."
Looking at the travel route planned by Zhang Zhong, Zhang Xingjun nodded and said.
"One, two, three... twelve countries, isn't it a bit too much? We can only stay in each country for a few days, and most of the time is wasted on the road." Hu Huifang said with a frown.
Zhang Chong said with a smile, "There are many small countries here, not much to play with, and more than a dozen countries here are all huddled together, some are not as big as ours in Jiangyang, a few days is enough.
"
"I still feel a little bit too much."
"It doesn't matter, this is just a preliminary route. If it feels fun somewhere, we will play for a few more days. If it doesn't feel fun, then we will leave early. We don't have to visit all twelve countries."
"That's fine, we can travel as we please. If there is nothing interesting to do abroad, we will return to our country. Anyway, our country is vast and rich in resources, and there are many places to visit."
Zhang Zhong hummed, "Okay, then I'll book the flight tickets later. We may have to wait until Yuhan handles the preliminary matters at the branch before we can set off."
"There's no need to rush, don't delay Yuhan's affairs."
In fact, not only do we have to wait for Xu Yuhan, the Pu Songling Award ceremony will be held on July 15th. The invitation letter has already been sent to Zhang Zhong, and he is still considering whether to go.
If Xu Yuhan can finish his work as soon as possible, then Zhang Zhong may not go to the Pu Songling Award Ceremony. If Xu Yuhan has to be busy for a few more days, Zhang Zhong will stop by to receive the award.
The presentation of the Pu Songling Award has always been very low-key, and there is usually no live video broadcast.
This is true for traditional literary awards, which are completely different from highly commercial awards like the Nebula Award.
It is because Zhang Zhong won the award this year that so many ordinary people paid attention to it.
