After rebirth, I became a great writer

Chapter 218 The Final End of the Earth
Born in the universe, return to a different path.
The same human beings on the earth are divided into two camps. The complexity of human nature and the rigor of science are already a controversial topic, and no one can immediately figure out the commonality between the two.

In the conference room, old man Li remained silent, he was still thinking.

Hong Tao was holding the manuscript and was about to read it with a happy face. He couldn't bear it long ago, and he was paying attention to the other manuscripts when he was reviewing them.

Now it's all right, old man Li seemed to be shocked by something, and couldn't care less about getting back the manuscript.

As for whether Deputy Director Ma will snatch it, he is not worried at all, let alone the question of whether he can snatch it, the scene of the three of them fighting for it just now is still vivid in his memory.

The teachers are all laughing at the jokes. It is enough to have some things happen once, but if you do it repeatedly, you will be shameless.

The fact is the same, even if Deputy Director Ma's heart is scratching like a cat's paw, but if he is asked to get up and fight Hong Tao for the manuscript, he can't do it.

He could only review the manuscript while looking at Hong Tao, hoping that he could read it quickly.

Deputy Director Ma didn't ask Old Man Li about the plot, and he didn't even have this idea. After all, listening to other people's stories is not as comfortable as he thinks.

In the next twenty minutes, Deputy Director Ma saw Hong Tao's expression changing.

His face was full of joy at first, then puzzled, then shocked, then dignified, and there was light in the dignified.

In fact, the first, middle and second chapters of "The Wandering Earth" add up to only words. If you read it quickly, you can finish it in less than half an hour.

But both old man Li and Hong Tao watched very seriously, and even watched some clips word by word, thinking while watching, which undoubtedly took a lot of time.

At this moment, Hong Tao had finished reading the first and second chapters, and his expression could not conceal his excitement at all. Fortunately, with old man Li in front, he would not lose his composure.

"Lao Ma, I'm almost finished reading it, don't worry, you help review it first."

Hong Tao comforted Deputy Director Ma first, then looked at Old Li, and found that he was still in deep thought.

Immediately, Hong Tao's heart sank, and his excitement disappeared a little.

What is the next article written in the end!It made Lao Li meditate for almost half an hour without saying a word.

With deep curiosity, he opened the next chapter.

It didn't take long before his expression became extremely complicated, until he also turned into the same pensive state as old man Li!

Deputy Director Ma saw all this.

"The opportunity is here! I want to see what that kid wrote to make you and Lao Li look like this!"

Deputy Director Ma was thinking in his heart, and he was about to get up and take the manuscript from Hong Tao's hand.

At this time, he heard Hong Tao's sigh.

"That's right! It is indeed a luxury to expect humans to remain rational forever. Humans are not intelligent machines after all, and they can always believe in science."

"But it is wrong to believe in science completely. Science cannot fully find the purpose of life. In fact, it is best to maintain a balance between scientific rationality and human emotion. In the same space, it is dangerous to overcompress either side."

Hong Tao didn't ponder for a long time like old man Li did. He quickly realized that it wasn't that he had fully figured it out, but that he had to read the ending as soon as possible, and there were still many manuscripts to be reviewed.

Deputy Director Ma was dumbfounded when he heard it, what scientific rationality and human emotion!

Isn't it science fiction?
What philosophy does science fiction talk about!

The rebels brought the last 5000 Earth Sects to the surface coast. On their way to the coast, everyone spit on them and threw ice and stones at them, just like the ancient prisoners!
However, even if they were sentenced to death, people still feel that they are too lenient. Can their sins be paid for by death?
Just because they use the "wandering earth" plan to destroy the earth and destroy human civilization, death is too forgiving to them!

People even want to vent their anger by digging up the bones of the astrophysicists who predicted the sun would explode, and the engineers who built the earth's engines.

The executors of the rebel army also thought so. They took away the heating batteries in the sealed suits of the "Earth Faction", and then drove them to the ice of the sea. , the most sinister and shameful human life.

What it feels like to die in the severe cold, no one has experienced it, and those who have experienced it have already died, but it is conceivable that it is an inhuman torture.

People on the shore watched the tortured "Earth Pie" and they began to have fun, which was a very perverted revengeful pleasure.

At this time, all the engines of the earth were turned off, and magnificent stars appeared on the ice sheet. Everyone saw a slightly larger star in the shape of a disc, which was the sun, the mother of life and the father of all things.
The protagonist and all human beings looked at the starry sky and sang "My Sun" together!
The inner monologue of everyone in the book: [There is nothing more stable than you, and what is more eternal than you.We tiny, charcoal-based bacteria that are not even as good as dust, huddled on a small stone that revolves around you, dare to predict your doom, how can we be so stupid! 】

When they finish singing this song, they will control the earth engine and drive the earth from the cold outer space back to the warm embrace of the sun!

They will start a good life again
Seeing this, Hong Tao suddenly smiled contemptuously. He was laughing at the ignorance of human beings in the book, laughing at their unrealistic fantasies, and also laughing at the bad roots of human nature.

Is this the end of "The Wandering Earth"?

Of course not, and if it had ended at this point, the book would not have won a Sci-Fi Galaxy Award.

The singing continued, and the "Earth Faction" on the sea were still standing, but there was no one alive, and their blood had been frozen.

At this moment, everyone couldn't see anything, and a terrifying glare illuminated the whole world, and they were temporarily blinded!
Gradually, their eyesight slowly recovered, and they looked at the starry sky again, but they couldn't see the starlight. All the starlight was annihilated by that strong light. For a moment, it seemed that the entire universe was melted by it, and the sun exploded!
The sun sprinkled its light and heat to the earth for the last time, and dedicated its beauty for the last time. During this period, the aurora appeared, and a huge colorful light curtain fluttered in the sky...

In this last bright sun, there are more than 5000 statues standing on the sea!
These people who still choose to defend the truth even in the face of death, these people who have dedicated their lives to fighting for the earth, died just before the truth was about to be verified
The chorus of "My Sun" came to an abrupt end, and the living rebels were as dumb as statues.

The cause of this sensational global rebellion is really just a rumour.
Two statues stand on the surface, one is alive and the other is lifeless, which one wins and which one loses?

What a sarcasm!

The solar eruption lasted only a short time, only two hours. After the light died, it was no longer the sun, nor did it emit light and heat. Its final destination is: an icy red giant star.

Buried with it are the partners who used to be the earth, Mercury, Mars, Venus and some other planets in the solar system.

At the same time, it also took away the hope of mankind. The magnificent career of 50 billion years has become a fleeting dream, and the sun is dead.

Fortunately, there are still people alive!

So far, the next part is over!
"Hehe, fortunately, there are still people alive. Those who should have survived have died, and those who shouldn't have survived have all survived."

"Time is the only criterion for testing truth, and it also witnesses people's hearts! Good article! Good novel! Thought-provoking!"

Hong Tao felt a lot, he closed the manuscript and handed it to Deputy Director Ma.

However, he did not continue to review other manuscripts, but chose to think like Lao Li, and he also needs to slow down!
After Deputy Director Ma took over the manuscript, he looked at Hong Tao curiously, and gave it so simply?

He remembered that when he read "Country Teacher", Hong Tao watched it several times in a row, and he was excited after reading it, but his expression was so weird when he read this novel, both of them were very weird!

What kind of novel is this!Deputy Director Ma turned to the first page.

After a long time, Old Li finally woke up from his thoughts. Instead of taking back the manuscript, he asked Hong Tao in a low voice.

"Old Hong, is the ending a solar helium flash!"

"Yes! It broke out! When the Earth faction died, it broke out! It broke out when the truth was about to be verified!"

"What about them?"

"They survived!"

When Hong Tao replied these words, there was sarcasm in his voice!

He knew who they were that old man Li asked, and who else could be, referring to those rebels who made conspiracy theories, those ignorant civilians who had no opinion, and the protagonist who betrayed his loyalty.

Hearing this, old man Li fell silent again. Although he had expected it long ago, when he heard the result, his heart still hurt a little.

Regardless of the shock of the background of the first story of "The Wandering Earth", or how the human beings strive to survive in the cruel environment in the middle part.
The real core is the next story, just as the human nature seen by the real tramp is completely different from that experienced by ordinary people.

The plot of the rebellion during the escape period is without a doubt the best part of the novel ever written!It is also the most thought-provoking part!
The story of "The Wandering Earth" should end here. Old man Li didn't say anything more. If he was asked to continue writing, the next one would be a satirical story!

The evil side of human nature sparked the flames of rebellion, and the final demise of the sun quelled everything in an instant. The surviving humans must be full of remorse and guilt, but they will definitely not choose to die with the defenders of the truth.

Because human beings still need to continue, no one will choose to die when they can live any longer.

There is a high probability that they will continue to embark on a long journey of interstellar wandering haha, what a mockery!
I don't know if they will remember the more than 5000 lives that they saved but were killed by their own hands when they dream back at midnight. Maybe they will, who knows.

"Old Hong, do you think "The Wandering Earth" can win the first place?"

Old man Li changed the subject and no longer entangled in the plot of the story.

After all, a novel is a novel after all, and what happens in a novel may not necessarily happen. We can think about it, but we still have to consider things in real life first.

As soon as his words came out, all the reviewers in the conference room immediately put down the manuscripts and looked at old man Li and Hong Tao.

what does it mean?Their performance just now has proved that it is a good novel!
Why do you still have such a question, could it be that the writing collapsed at the end?

Hong Tao was also taken aback by the question, he understood why old man Li wanted to ask such a question.

In terms of the background, structure, and innovation of science fiction, "The Wandering Earth" is no less shocking than "Country Teacher", and it can even be said to be far superior.

After all, the setting of fleeing with a planet to save human civilization is more shocking than a rural teacher saving human civilization.

It's just that "The Wandering Earth" is too heavy to read, and it can even be said to be depressing. The whole writing description is to tell the story without any emotional color, and even the portrayal of events and characters is cold.

Even the protagonist is not a glorious image, and his father was originally a hero, but the derailment incident made people not respect him.

The only glorious image should be the executive officers of the coalition government and more than 5000 "Earth Factions", but they are only sublimated in the next chapter.

In fact, they are also responsible for this rebellion, because they are completely yearning for scientific rationality, which leads to the lack of human touch in the policy system formulated by the coalition government.

It can be seen from the death of the protagonist's mother in the disaster that such a one-size-fits-all system makes the human beings in the shadow of the doomsday feel even more depressed. If they are too depressed, they will naturally want to resist.

Coupled with the description of the bad roots of human nature in the second rebellious story, as well as the pessimism of human emotions in the face of disasters, etc., it can be said that the emotions in "The Wandering Earth" are not only cold, but also despair!
This kind of despair is different from that kind of hysterical despair, but it penetrates silently into one's bones.
You don't know where your future is, you don't have the warmth of family and love, and you live a precarious life all the time, it really makes people shudder to enter it.

And the experience of the supporting teacher in "Country Teacher", although it is very distressing to read, but in the end I gave him the greatest hymn!
The ending also praises human beings and human cultural inheritance through dialogues with aliens. From an emotional point of view, it is positive and upward, and it is the sunny side of human nature.

So just from an emotional point of view, more people will choose to read "Country Teacher" instead of "The Wandering Earth", because everyone prefers to read novels with a happy ending.

But this does not mean that the quality of "The Wandering Earth" is low. Its educational significance is not inferior to that of "Rural Teacher", but the focus is different.

"Old Li! If "Country Teacher" and "The Wandering Earth" are put together for the competition, I will give "The Wandering Earth" No.1."

Hong Tao replied with deep meaning.

The teachers in the meeting room breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this sentence.

At the same time, they also knew the name of Chen Tianhong's entry, which turned out to be "The Wandering Earth"!What a strange name!

"Hehe, I'm different from you. I will give "Country Teacher" No.1. I think there is something missing in the ending of "The Wandering Earth". The surviving human beings should reflect on their mistakes and find a real path to salvation. .”

Old man Li shook his head, he didn't agree with it.

There is actually another reason for him to say that. "Country Teacher" is a tribute to teachers, and of course old man Li likes it more.

If Ji Taidong were here, he would definitely choose "The Wandering Earth".

"The real road to salvation, you are talking about finding a balance between the complex emotions of human nature and scientific rationality!"

"Old man Li, isn't your request a bit high! Even Chairman Zhu Yanlin dare not say that he can fully interpret people's emotions. It's good that a young man can write like this, and I think the main focus of the novel's story is not human nature. It's scientific reason."

Hong Tao also did not agree with old man Li's point of view.

"Haha, that's right, I have forgotten his age! But I don't think he can write such a thought-provoking novel at his age! So, he is a genius!"

"However, Lao Hong, I still think the focus is on thinking about human nature after the disaster."

Old man Li still insisted on his point of view. This is a scholar, and what they believe will basically not be easily changed.

Just as the two were about to start an argument because of their opinions, Deputy Director Ma suddenly shouted.

"Okay! Well written! This ending is right! Human beings have regained their normal emotions and have greater respect for scientific rationality! Haha! Beautiful!"

"Ah! Earth, my wandering earth. It's so appropriate to end with this sentence!"

Deputy Director Ma's words made Hong Tao and old man Li confused, especially Hong Tao.

its not right!Isn't the last sentence [fortunately, there are still people alive] this sentence!

"Maybe there is a follow-up!"

Hong Tao and old man Li had this thought in their minds at the same time, and their hands reached out to the manuscript again at the same time.

The scramble did not happen, because the end of the second chapter is also the end of the first story, but there is a final chapter at the end, which is only a few hundred words, and Hong Tao did miss it just now.

There is only a few hundred words in length, so there is no point in fighting over it. Hong Tao and old man Li chose to read it together.

The review teachers in the meeting room also surrounded them. They couldn't hold back their curiosity any longer. Instead of reading the manuscript, they surrounded Deputy Director Ma.

The ending chapter that Hong Tao and old man Li read also has a chapter name.

Epilogue: [The Wandering Age]

Although more than 5000 "Earth faction" died, fortunately there are scientists among the surviving people, and the "Wandering Earth" plan can continue to be implemented.

This story is about the protagonist recalling all this when he was old!
Half a century has passed now, his sons are all married, and the earth has already sailed out of the solar system, continuing its lonely voyage in the cold and vast outer space.

One day, with the help of his son and daughter-in-law, the protagonist landed on the surface of the earth. He looked at the scene on the ground, at the sun above the starry sky, and finally at the direction of Proxima Centauri, which is the end point and the star of hope for mankind. .
When the singing came, it was a song of mourning and remembrance.

I know that I have been forgotten, the wandering voyage is too long and too long. When the sun shines again in the east, the era of setting sail is too far, too far away!
When human beings see the blue sky again, the past of the solar system is too long. But call me at that moment!

When the flowers hang on the branches again.
……

The singing sound poured into the protagonist's old and stiff body like a warm current. In a trance, he seemed to see the three golden suns of Proxima Centauri rising one by one, and human beings and all things were bathed in the sunlight again.
He saw the sky turn blue again, the frozen 2000-year seed revive, the earth turn green
The children and grandchildren laugh happily on the green grassland, and there is a clear stream on the grassland, and there are small silver fish in the stream...

Finally he saw the young Kayoko, as beautiful as an angel, and smiled at him again!That smile was as warm as when they first met.
At the last moment of his life, the protagonist shouted out his grandfather's last words.

Ah, Earth, my wandering Earth...

ps: It's over. It's finally over!I am so tired of writing!This story is a foreshadowing, and it is also my attempt to write "Three-Body Problem".
