Liu cixin.
"Editor's note"
Produced by Chen Kun and editor in Chief of the Grand universe has recently published, the book includes an article interview with Liu cixin, which involved Liu on the development of space industry, he recommended a space movie, and he and Robin Li, CEO of Baidu high school alumni "gossip". Surging News (www.thepaper.CN) is authorized by the Shanghai Academy of social sciences publishing house reprinted, with slight changes of the original.
"Leave the Earth may not be so easy, you need to make accurate calculations, the final conclusion is likely to remain: one brain. "This is a plot in the novel three-body.
Shanxi yangquan to Alpha Centauri stars, only separated by a Liu cixin.
In 2014, Liu cixin won the Chinese science fiction Nebula Award. His Director forced to wear a jacket and walk the red carpet, with the sponsorship of the annual Nebula Awards customer sat together to discuss interpretation too dark forest law, signed 1 time times exceeds a predetermined length of time, also wrote on the plane in the first play of the three-body biography. In November, the first English edition of the three-body by the United States veteran Tor science fiction magazine published. Then as we all know, his work into the United States that a veteran of the Nebula Award nomination for film adaptation began strongly propagated. Every day, Liu cixin News: of the three nominated for the Nebula Award, the film adaptation of the three-body boot, Tencent mobile games imagination of architects.
In 2015, Beijing time on August 23 at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, 73rd promulgated Hugo Award at the Spokane Convention Center, Liu cixin, with science fiction won awards for best long story of the three bodies, becoming the first Asian to win a Hugo Award. The giants of Western science fiction community attention attention to China for the first time, even adapted IP winner, ice and fire, George Martin said the authors of the song "I kindly liked ThreeBody (c)".
Efforts to tide over the years, science fiction writers came into the public eye.
From the tense, this style is about the coming of the future of science fiction stories, science fiction writers play a prophetic role--unfortunately never really succeeded. But now judge whether a science-fiction writer in the writing of real success stories, utilitarian perspective is "adapted IP".
All of this, when they were seven years ago, the publication of the three-body, Liu cixin thought about. IP is not a concept that was the hot technology of the time, it was to buy the rights to the film adaptation of the three-body, sold cheaply. He became the first Chinese-language science fiction circles to enjoy creating IP brought benefits, also carried forward by wave IP man. He only read the news, not interacting with users, but beginning in three communities in micro-interview. This is a work that must be done, in three films, stipulated by the contract.
People familiar with Liu cixin called him "big." Usually during the day, Liu cope with chores, dealing with family and work, writing in the evening, but haven't written recently. A lot of time in reading, read everything, is related to science, history of the book. Like right now is reading Chekhov's the book of Sakhalin travel, hand baoluo·baqijialupi the hurt of boatmen, there are books like why does the world exist. While the interview scheduled after 10 o'clock at night. Now interviewed a lot, as a part of the job offer he can't refuse, but the reporters "on several issues come and go."
Liu cixin said that as technology science-fiction writer who is ridiculous. But this group of people is obviously a parallel universe, or a future, potential creators. Overview of the breadth of the length of time and space, infinite frontiers was for readers to expand their brains. Science fiction writer trying to describe some of the mutations affects humanity as a whole, but maybe their "brain hole" itself is a kind of mutation.
Sci-Fi brain hole come from? Milky Way's Virgo cantilever of two dimensional thinking is how to sprout?
Liu cixin, space movie brain hole may open the catalyst. He from childhood began slow to memories, a good of space Ord game, or said one good of space movie, usually is how rendering of: he repeat has countless again "real"; he times mentioned for space story additional human rules is a extra of thing, dang human in space in the, on has no longer is human; break race, and borders, and human communication of barriers, challenge powerful of gravity, these purely of, to space, and again return maternal of story, makes he hundred see times.
Science fiction in the present is given a lot of present tense meaning. Discussion space work is getting hot, thought more and more about the space, and discussion of the space itself, probably only a few attention-grabbing events throughout the year.
Out of their vast natural too long, ordinary people do not need care around the meaning a person can remember her waist and feet long, on a daily basis is sufficient. Traveling by plane is closest to the border in moment of ordinary life. May only fly when you realise the significance of space exploration--the distance the new loneliness, new party and a new freedom-into space, means the spread of human populations. Now the Earth is the Galaxy's "Africa", remote soil raised be carbon based Euro RSCG group. They are trying to spend the vast void sea to find spread, new life.
The scale of the universe is so great, even in the three men until he reached Earth probably hundreds of years ' time, prior to this, information may not be panic spread among the crowd. Liu said, "more likely to be indifferent. Indifference, more terrible than the panic. Does not consider it a long-term thing, and didn't do any preparation. It is also a danger. "
GoGo's "alien emergency plan", "space programme", Liu Xian said, "I just wrote a novel", in their mind there is no such contingency plans, but couldn't help but say, "this is a major problem."
"Our journey is the star of the sea" this sentence is referenced numerous times to melodramatic proportions. But in the virtual space of all slogans of cause of action does not cause the space really started. "If you seriously consider this issue, and that's the problem. Concept, level of Government at the national level, a series of political, economic and legal aspects of the operation, is very complex. The expression of this is not science fiction, it would be unusually boring actually. "
Interview:
GoGo: if it is "China's golden age of science fiction," then you predict how long this era continues? Why is that?
Liu cixin: will last a long time. Because the Sci-Fi received attention in China, still limited in the field of literature. Next, when the sci-fi television start, will attract more attention, which in turn will lead to literature. Of course I am talking about "almost Golden" and not "China's golden age of science fiction". It is far from the real golden age still have. It lacks two key items of the golden age: emerged a large number of influential works, a large number of influential writers. So it is not really the golden age, except for the trend. But I'm still optimistic.
GoGo: you are most concerned about what science is? Explore the universe rank?
Liu cixin: I care about most is the most cutting-edge scientific fields, such as physics and cosmology. This is the most basic things human progress. We first need to understand the world, to change the world. Awareness is the most important of the world, so I am most concerned about the physics.
GoGo: the last ten years, in areas of frontier science, human perception of the world: is there any progress? Or is consensus more, still more?
Liu cixin: progress has been. But relative to the beginning of the century as an era of revolution in physics, epoch-making discovery emerging, today's progress is relatively slow. The other hand, today the forefront of physics theories, experiments, long distance can attest. Like ancient Greece bomokejite's theory of the atom, and can only be confirmed after May 2000. Now string theory of physics is. To make progress very difficult indeed.
GoGo: many of the rumors about aliens last century 560 United States product of the golden age of science fiction. Many of the aliens were fabricated by human. How do you deal with such doubt?
Liu cixin: say aliens, until now there is no certain evidence of life beyond Earth. So we talk about these things certainly are air-to-air. One possibility is that in the entire universe, life on Earth, human beings are very occasional phenomenon. I am not a scientist, is writing science fiction. I was most concerned about cutting-edge scientific theories, what stories can get resources. Is mainly concerned with how to use it to produce a good story, there are many more good ideas.
GoGo: three-body following the opening of the community, I suddenly discovered that sure enough time to develop v-fittings, various virtual reality tools are in development. You have tried the smart products? Oculus Rift,Kinect, smart bracelet ... ... Technology in place, likely to do Threebody the game? Interview Yan Peng Japan manufacturing is born
Liu cixin: three games fewer than when someone will do. Game adaptation rights have been transferred, and tour game would have done with this game.
GoGo: how to see virtual reality? I think this is more of a technology. Everyone is looking down at the phone, later may be at home will be able to experience the feeling of space. Human beings will never leave Earth?
Liu cixin: Yes, this is indeed a problem. The technology makes people become more introverted, and civilization as a whole becomes more and more introverted. I can get everything in the virtual reality, including what you say, I can create space for yourself to experience, to replace everything. It does have the potential to be a trend. We become more and more a very introverted civilization, rather than outward to open up, to explore the culture.
GoGo: How do you encourage people to go?
Liu cixin: recently I noticed the fact that change there are two major technologies of the modern society, computer technology, network technology, another is a space technology. You may not know, these two technologies truly was born, a difference of less than a month. In April 1946, the United States has set up a "space Committee", Germany's von Braun as Director, which is the predecessor of NASA. This day in April, is seen as the start of modern space. After more than 20 days, in the laboratory of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, humanity's first computer was born.
They are so close, but these two technologies to today, you see how big their differences. Computer technology, Internet technology has changed our lives and the world, this is no exaggeration. But too little space to change things, almost no change too many things.
These technologies have in common, is to explore unknown space. Network, IT technology development is unknown, virtual space; space technology open up existing space entities. You look now, if IT's virtual space, it was an easy thing, need of cost, get a cell phone and went, you now want to go to space to open up space, that is a price, the last time the international space station, US $ 20 million. So say the technology is too far away. Space cannot be said to our life has not changed, but compared with the Internet changed for life, is far worse. The birth of these two technologies, one has a computer, not how much easier it is than he has a space rocket. Price the same. Why so different from now?
You look at Space Agency, China is the Department, United States was NASA, Japan is the universe of UNDP. If you look at Internet Agency, Microsoft, Lenovo, Google, Taobao ... ... This at a glance: space is an act of State, IT is civil behaviour. So, let the true development of the space industry, people go out, the first thing is, don't put hope in humanity's responsibility, on the pioneer spirit or vision. Nothing in history is made by these. You have to get the aerospace market starts up, let them make money. But in order to do this, the most feasible solution is the privatization of space. Civil tremendous creativity, also contains a strong motivation and desire to reduce costs and improve efficiency. As IT technologies to the market, to key steps of our lives, all privatization out.
My high school alumni in yangquan in this session of the national people's Congress Li put forward a proposal at the meeting, is to call upon the States to keep the space privatization. Baidu really do not intend to enter the space? Now there is a very interesting feature, after the privatization of space, you will find IT natural links technology, Internet and space. United States that privatization of the few bosses are out from the Internet.
GoGo: how to see the Western civil space exploration? Such as the Musk of spaceX?
Liu cixin: whether the State's aerospace industry is the privatization of space, is essentially based on economic interests. That kind of input and no output, whether States or individuals, is not going to do. But instead, after the privatization of space, pursuit of profit-driven trend is more obvious. Countries can have a project not to make money, private, then it is hard to. So do space these bosses are people with feelings of space. But from the nature of their business, it is impossible to make that kind of real economic benefit from exploration. Exploring, I think as long as the economy still facing day, the kind of large-scale exploration and development is difficult to start up.
GoGo: expanding only slowly, right? For example, first to the Moon and Mars, and then to farther places.
Liu cixin: this is not a speed issue. If you make money, the market is not booting up, will never be able to expand. Not slow, are now in the back. Now our steps towards space, rather than the 60.
Gogo:Musk to Mars to build wireless network base stations.
Liu cixin: so closely linked to Internet and space--is creative and innovative areas. We should learn IT development experience, taking it private, to the market, this is the only way out. Those bigger things, what people's sense of responsibility, vision, never count on. Even 60 aerospace climax, and it's not because these things, but from people's fears, show of strength between the two powers are needed.
GoGo: space is not closely related to human life, but he will have some results of research into people's lives, such as what materials.
Liu cixin: and not closely related to human life, because the market has not yet started. Computers and our lives, than space and our life is still far away, the big capacity, with ordinary matter. So while a scholar said, the world has five major computer, computing capacity is sufficient. But the space and human relations are visible and tangible.
GoGo: like it?
Liu cixin: one step at a time, first the most direct relationship: space tourism. Today most people can't afford to go, said real space travel for $ 20 million, then certainly not. Cheap like $ SpaceX,20 million, that is not too expensive. But the weightlessness only last 4 minutes and a half, what's the point? Space tourism market, it will have a certain relationship with us, but don't count on too much.
Next, it is energy. On the planet's carbon emissions are a problem, if moved into space energy system as a whole, build solar power stations in space, and then use the microwave back solar power, most of this relationship: we use every day come from space.
Next greater Beijing's smog control? Pollution of the surrounding Beijing enterprises have moved into space, not afraid of contamination. The relationship grows.
If three do, then the entire aerospace market starts up. Then more would go next. For example, we may set up a space on the Earth's orbit, people can put up permanent residence. Next, you could migrate to the Moon, Mars, and provide a lot of job opportunities. This step by step, with our relationship more closely.
GoGo: so, space and space it really started, with our relationship may be as close as the Internet?
Liu cixin: the question is now this market, it is not booting up. One is a matter of policy, when open? There is an objective reason is space industry to start to spend money in the market, much more than IT should. It needs to be put into the original capital is much greater. The other hand, it also has great risks. Do the IT industry is not dead, but space will be dead. But I think the market should be started as soon as possible.
GoGo: it is possible to space.
Liu cixin: this time I met a very young company to Shanghai, do the rockets. But they may not be able to launch rockets into space, and Government support is limited. And the Internet, is the need for the Government to support the privatization of space and support, including some basic research, the underlying policy and funding.
Liu cixin is recommended: a space movie
Many of these young people have never heard of an old movie, is just 670 of the last century a large notice or summary of space exploration.
Bodyguards of the sky (October Sky)
1960, living in the United States in the coal mining area boys, home found the Soviet Union launched the first artificial satellite flew over United States skies. Because of this one, changed the lives of their lives: they are all interested in the exploration of space, one of the children later become NASA (United States NASA) engineers.
Liu: "the living environment is very similar to mine and I was young. "
Of the space pioneers (The Right Stuff)
Nominated for best picture at the 56th Academy Awards, shows the United States before the moon landing, United States astronaut's real life, inside there are real people.
Return of the Hayabusa – far away (small planet MT airport はやぶさ away かなる GUI still)
Vivid presents the 2000, Japan launched the whole process of small planet, such as Japan's aerospace engineers how to control the probe, how to solve various kinds of failures, finally back, Australia landed, also take the samples from the asteroid.
Liu: "Japan's space industry's description was vivid. Such as their control room than our Chinese, it was a Dowdy. Chair torn, floor cracks, and then a small control room. But Japan performed by Aerospace engineers in the control room, is a very innovative projects. "
The breakthrough of Mach 25 (Space Camp)
Call United States version of the fly to Alpha Centauri, late 1980 's have shown at home. It is science fiction, but as of the gravity, does not fancy technology. A group of middle school students participating in the summer camp, visit to NASA space shuttle launch site, there are a few naughty boys went to play on the space shuttle, start hacking space shuttle accidents, they were launched into space to, and then tried to return to Earth.
Liu: "released in China at that time, I've seen it twice and was very moved. "
