Chapter 29 postscript

There are two kinds of novels whose authors can only modestly call themselves secondary authors. One is historical fiction, because its first author is history, time.Time washes away trivialities and mediocrity, and highlights and condenses events, plots, characters and personalities. A writer of historical novels only needs to have enough extensive historical knowledge and sharp enough eyesight to select wonderful materials, and his novels will be complete. Sixty percent success. Another kind of fiction is science fiction.Its author is God (objective God), science, and the workings of nature revealed by science (they are trinity).As long as a science fiction writer has enough intelligence to understand these mechanisms, and has enough keen eyesight to discover the shocking power of science, his success is 60% sure.Therefore, science fiction writers should dedicate 60% of their remuneration to God.

The development of science to this day has surpassed the comprehension of most people, so that to some extent, it has also become a superior religion.But we believe in "this" religion and not others, why?Because what science reveals is the truth, which applies to the universe.Newton's law of universal gravitation can be used to calculate the movement of extraterrestrial objects 15 billion light years away, and the concise composition of DNA even exceeds the expectations of the most staunch scientific believers in the last century.Fully developed technology can become magic, and God's magic is gradually being reduced to technology by human beings.The ancestors of various nationalities once created the myth that God created man or Nuwa created man, which is the most primitive exploration of human beings' own secrets.Only a few thousand years later, human beings have been able to use somatic cell nuclei to inspire a real life!I think, if there is a powerful God, he will also cover his face and sigh, and willingly give up his throne.

The novel describes two futuristic technologies, artificial life and crowd intelligence.They are a little more distant, and may be seen by some as gibberish.But the author can assure you that they will definitely become a reality: artificial life may be realized within a few hundred years, and scattered computer intelligence will somehow be integrated into a civilization or intelligence.At that time, how did human beings live?How will human nature change?Can the love of mankind, which has been praised by writers for thousands of years, still exist?No one can predict with complete accuracy.What the author expresses in the article is just some personal exploration.Moreover, in order to connect with people's understanding today, many descriptions in the book are too conservative.

Science makes people wise, allowing you to grasp the pulse of nature and gain insight into the direction of history.It's a pity that many Chinese are estranged from science and cannot appreciate the joy of science and the realm of thinking.Our mainstream writers are good at looking backwards, down to their feet.Their thoughts on the past and reality are very profound and valuable.But if a nation only has such a vision, it will appear too dull and short-sighted.I hope this novel can make readers look up a little bit, so the author is satisfied.
