 |
Description
Book Introduction
Alpha Centauri, a triple star system with three burning suns The Three-Body Civilization's star-star fleet sets sail for Earth. “It is impossible for humanity to win this war. “You are worms!” Liu Cixin's "The Three-Body Problem," which became a sci-fi legend The Three-Body Problem, a masterpiece by Liu Cixin, who became the first Asian to win the Hugo Award and became a science fiction master. The trilogy of "Earth's Past," which consists of "Part 1: The Three-Body Problem," "Part 2: The Dark Forest," and "Part 3: The Eternal Life of the Grim Reaper," boldly depicts the fate that humanity will face in a universe like the "Dark Forest," where countless dangers lurk. As former US President Obama commented, “When I read ‘The Three-Body Problem,’ the scale of the work was so vast that the daily life in the White House felt trivial” (New York Times interview), the world constructed in ‘The Three-Body Problem’ endlessly expands toward the infinite universe. The Three-Body Problem offers readers a transcendental view of the universe based on the scientific theories the author accumulated while working as a computer engineer. "The Three-Body Problem" is a science fiction epic that spans from the Cultural Revolution to the all-out war between extraterrestrial civilizations and humanity hundreds of years later. In "Part 1: The Three-Body Problem," it depicts the fate of humanity as it encounters an extraterrestrial civilization while exchanging signals with a three-body world four light-years away from Earth. In "Part 2: The Dark Forest," it asserts the cosmic axiom that "civilizations constantly grow and expand, but the total amount of matter in the universe remains constant," and states that in order to survive in a universe like the "Dark Forest," a competition for survival with extraterrestrial civilizations is inevitable. In Part 3: The Eternal Life of the Grim Reaper, humanity, having survived an all-out war with an alien civilization, comes face to face with a greater horror that exists in the universe, bringing the story to a close. The boundless imagination that runs from Part 1 to Part 3 pushes essential thinking about the universe to the limit and allows you to experience intellectual pleasure. |

Into the book
Breaker No. 2 lay down and looked back on the days he had lived.
After making sure I had gone over everything in detail without missing anything, I got up from my numb body.
The man reached under his pillow, pulled out a pistol, and slowly placed the muzzle against his temple.
Just then, the subtitle of the wise man appeared in his eyes.
Stop.
We need you.
--- p.44
It didn't seem like a hallucination.
(……) I discovered a silvery shining object above the sea of clouds.
The four straight lines stood out particularly against the night sky.
It continued to extend at the same speed as the airplane, but as it went towards the tail, it gradually faded and became one with the night sky.
It seemed like a sharp silver sword was flying above the clouds.
--- p.101
“The Perfect Wall bearer will shoulder the most difficult mission in human history.
They must be completely alone and hide their inner world from the world and the entire universe.
The only person they can talk to and communicate with, and the only person they can rely on, is themselves.
They must spend long years in solitude carrying this great mission.
On this point, I express my deepest respect to the Perfect Walls on behalf of humanity.”
--- p.135~136
Luo Ji entered the meditation room and closed the door.
(……)
A rectangular piece of iron ore caught my eye.
The moment I saw it, I felt the urge to hit my head and end everything.
Luo Ji lay down on the flat, smooth stone.
A cold sensation extinguished the fire burning within his chest.
His body seemed to have become as hard as ore.
--- p.160
'Survival is the first prerequisite for civilization.'
'Civilization is constantly growing and expanding, but the total amount of matter in the universe remains constant.'
Luo Zhi took note of these two words.
Although he could not yet grasp the ultimate profundity contained in them, long reflection revealed to him that there was a secret hidden in these two words.
--- p.309
But is it really possible to improve thinking skills with technology?”
Heinz's eyes sparkled at these words.
"General, you're not as primitive as other people! You just said 'thinking ability' instead of 'intelligence', right? Thinking ability is a higher-level concept than intelligence.
For example, it is impossible to fight and win against the current defeatism.
“In the face of barriers set by the authorities, it is difficult for even the most intelligent people to have faith in victory.”
“Then I wonder what the answer to my question is.
Can technology enhance our thinking skills?
--- p.378
The universe fell asleep again, and everything within the metallic cloud lost its light in the cold of space.
The entire cloud was shrouded in darkness.
After that, due to the sun's gravity, the cloud stopped expanding and became long and stretched out, forming a long belt and then a thin metallic belt that circled the sun.
Like the million souls who could not close their eyes in peace, they too wandered forever in the most desolate space of the solar system.
--- p.604
When the footage of the fleet's destruction reached Earth three hours later from 20 astronomical units away, humanity looked like desperate children, and the world became a kindergarten gripped by nightmares.
A lot of people panicked and everything got out of control.
--- p.609
“The universe is a dark forest.
All civilizations are hunters with guns.
They are wandering through the forest like ghosts.
I quietly moved away the branches blocking the path, minimized the sound of my footsteps, and even lowered my breathing… … .
You have to be careful.
Because there are hunters hiding all over the forest.
(……) In this forest, other people are hell in and of themselves, an eternal threat.
Any life that reveals its existence must be immediately destroyed.
This is the cosmic civilization and the interpretation of the Fermi paradox.”
--- p.677
“Now I will stop the beating of my heart.
By pulling this trigger, I will go down in history as the greatest sinner of both worlds.
(……) I know that the governor is by my side.
You have not responded to humanity's call.
Silence is the greatest contempt.
We have been looked down upon for the past 200 years.
You may remain silent if you wish.
“I’ll give you 30 seconds.”
After making sure I had gone over everything in detail without missing anything, I got up from my numb body.

Publisher's Review
Not technology or force, but only a change in thinking
Make humanity survive!
In Part 2 - The Dark Forest, the Three-Body Civilization sends a massive space fleet into the solar system to destroy Earth's inhabitants.
Having learned that space is a 'dark forest' filled with countless dangers and that survival in space is inevitable through competition with alien civilizations, humanity builds a space fleet to respond, but is overcome by a sense of defeat due to the overwhelming difference in technological prowess.
So the Earthlings prepare a final alternative.
The 'Perfect Wall Project' is precisely what targets the fatal weakness of the Samcheans.
“There is one thing we must note.
The level of strategy and technology is not directly proportional to technological progress.
The Samcheans communicate through transparent thinking, and their level of contracts, disguise, and deception is very low.
“In this respect, humanity has a far greater advantage than its enemies.”
The Samcheans send an artificial intelligence computer called 'Zija' to monitor the words and actions of Earthlings, but they take advantage of the weakness of being unable to read their true thoughts, and select four perfect people from Earth.
They are tasked with the most difficult mission in human history: finding a way to save humanity, but hiding their thoughts from the Trische people and the entire universe.
Meanwhile, Luo Ji, who majored in astronomy, was told by his old friend's mother, astrophysicist Ye Yuanjie, "First, survival is the first prerequisite for civilization.
Second, we are encouraged to study cosmosociology, with the proposition that “civilization is constantly growing and expanding, but the total amount of matter in the universe remains constant.”
And soon after, he is selected as one of the perfect people who will save the Earth.
Will the "Perfect Wall Project," the last resort to protect the Earth, succeed? Who will emerge victorious in this civilization's struggle for survival, where survival hinges on killing the enemy?
