Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 255 Wandering Earth
About Shanzhai himself, Zhang Zhong had never heard of it.

He is very busy now, his fingers draw a ghost image on the keyboard, and he keeps typing.

Just two hours ago, he used [-] points to draw a prize, and the work he got was a short story - "The Wandering Earth".

In terms of length, the [-] points was a bit of a waste, after all, the number of words is very small, but Zhang Zhong didn't feel it was a loss, because he liked Liu Cixin's novels very much.

"The Wandering Earth" is very short, and it is not Liu Cixin's masterpiece.

Before the movie of the same name came out, when most people mentioned Liu Cixin, the first thing that came to mind was "The Three-Body Problem".

Liu Cixin won the first Hugo Award for China with "The Three-Body Problem", which also brought Chinese science fiction to the world.

Before Zhang Zhong came back from the earth, the film of the same name of "The Wandering Earth" was officially released, and it also won the No.2 domestic box office, which was a real hit.

This novel of more than 2 words tells a story of survival and escape. The time of the story is set hundreds of years later. The background is that the sun changes and the helium flash erupts. Once it erupts, the earth on which human beings depend for survival will be wiped out in an instant, and human beings are forced to flee in order to survive.

When it comes to escape, most people will definitely think of spaceships and warships in their minds, but this book shows a unique escape process, running with broken balls.

The previous content of the novel is similar to that in the movie, but there are still many things in the novel that have not been filmed in the movie.

For example, in the original book, when the earth wandered to the edge of the solar system, the protagonist's wife was surprised to find that the sun was almost the same as it was 400 years ago, and there was no helium flash mentioned by the coalition government. Notifying all mankind immediately aroused people's distrust of the government.

Soon, some people organized a rebel army to confront the government forces.

The rebels insisted on canceling the Wandering Earth plan and returning the Earth to the solar system, and a war broke out between the two sides.

But because of the glory of his father's generation, the male protagonist stood on the side of the coalition government, and the husband and wife were in the hostile camp.

Later, when the male protagonist knew that his wife had died in the rebellion, he lost all hope and joined the ranks of the rebel army. Together with other defectors, he sent thousands of people who were driving the engine to the ice field on the ground, and pulled out the cores of their protective clothing. Batteries, let them freeze to death in the freezing cold of hundreds of degrees below zero.

After executing these "heinous" people, the rebel army sang praises to the distant sun.

Then, a flash of light, a helium flash happened.

……

Compared with the movie, the novel is much darker.

Especially when the 5000 people were executed at the end, the protagonist behaved very carefreely, and even felt that "it is very tolerant to let them die once".

They deserve to die ten thousand times, otherwise their crimes cannot be undone.

However, the slap in the face came too fast, and the earth still needs to wander.

After Zhang Chong typed the last line, he also sighed in his heart. In the face of disasters, human nature is so complicated.

When faced with the choice of survival, the reality is so cruel.

Survival is above all else, but in the face of survival crisis, how to choose has become a difficult problem to solve.

In "The Wandering Earth", although the final helium flash occurred, the problem still remained.

What if there is no helium flash?

And who is right and who is wrong?

Survival is above all else, but how to grasp the degree of survival crisis?

How plausible are theoretical models that predict helium flashes?
If the possibility is only one tenth, one percent, under this possibility, should human beings stick to another possibility and continue their previous life, or escape the crisis desperately?

Zhang Zhong couldn't answer this question. Survival is above all else, but there are too many issues involved.

Moreover, this is the earth of billions of people, and he is not the only one who has the final say.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Zhang Zhong looked at the "Wandering Earth" he had just finished typing.

Now he doesn't have the heart to think about the survival thinking left by Liu Cixin. What he has to do now is to change the earth in this book to "sea ball", because the world he is in now is called starfish, also known as sea. ball.

As a person who has lived on the earth for 40 years, Zhang Chong would feel a little strange when he saw the wandering sea ball, but conversely, if the starfish saw the earth, it would be even more strange.

What is the earth?
After spending some time, Zhang Zhong successfully changed "The Wandering Earth" into "The Wandering Sea Ball".

After that, he didn't stop working, but started polishing again. Da Liu's writing style was not very good, and Zhang Zhong didn't think about making major changes, but just slightly changed some things in it.

In addition to the text, he also slightly modified the plot about helium flash in the middle, because Zhang Zhong’s theory about helium flash was a bit sloppy. After all, most scientific prediction research is often as uncertain as climate change. .

Of course, it is impossible for Zhang Chong to put the "helium flash" into practice. He just wants to make this theory more in line with scientific research.

After finishing everything, half a day has passed.

Zhang Chong rubbed his neck and walked out of the study, only to see Peng Peng fiddling with a needle and thread.

He was startled, ran over quickly, grabbed the needle in Pengpeng's hand, and said with lingering fear, "Where did you get this needle and thread?"

Pengpeng was also taken aback by his father's action, and shrank his neck and said, "I took it from grandma's box."

that box?Zhang Zhong guessed that it was probably his mother's storage box, with needles and threads in it, and it was placed on the grid next to the closet.

The height of the grid is about Zhang Zhong's chin, if Peng Peng can get it, she must be standing on a chair.

After thinking about it, Zhang Zhong felt that he was making a fuss again. Pengpeng is already five years old, and she doesn't know anything. Moreover, she can crawl, jump and use tools. It seems that she can't find a needle at home. Not very realistic either.

"What are you doing with needle and thread?" Zhang Zhong asked.

Pengpeng picked up the doll rabbit from the buttocks, "The rabbit is broken, I want to sew it up."

The rabbit doll in her hand was played by Zhang Zhong when he was a child, and he accompanied her for a long time before Zhang Zhong came back. Later, Zhang Zhong bought her a lot of dolls, and he didn’t see this rabbit much. Thinking that she was found again.

Zhang Zhong couldn't help laughing, this girl was much better than him, the rabbit didn't break after following him for so many years, but it broke in her hands.

"Come on, let me see where it's broken."

After taking the rabbit, Zhang Zhong looked up and down, and found that the thread at the rabbit's tail was broken, only one point was connected, and it might fall off at any time.

He said confidently, "Don't worry, Dad will sew it up for you."
