The Three-body World Climate in Liu's Three-body —— "Chaos Age" and "Constant Age"

In the novel "Three-body", Liu imagines the existence of aliens, who live in Centauri, the constellation closest to the solar system, and are called the "three-body" world.

The climate of the "Three-body" world is very bad, which can be said to be a "chaotic world without rules". There, in addition to the "chaotic era" is the "constant era."

In the "Three-body" game that Wang Miao participated in, the harsh climate of the "Three-body" world was simulated.

When the "chaotic era" came, the cycle of day and night was irregular.

Sometimes, a huge sun will rise in the blink of an eye. When it has not yet fully risen, you will feel the heat wave coming on your face, and the earth will be baked by the heat wave immediately.

Wang Miao has seen such a big sun many times in the "Three-body" game, and it is more terrible every time.

For the first time, Wang Miao followed Zhou Wenwang, who claimed to have mastered the laws of the sun, and met a big sun on his way to Chao Ge to meet Zhou Wang.

The sun is so big that "when it rises halfway, its diameter accounts for at least one-fifth of the horizon in the field of vision." The earth is "as dazzling as an incandescent state, and the frozen soil at the foot melts rapidly, from hard as iron to muddy".

Wang Miao and others hid in the shade and covered their heads tightly with skins, but the strong sunlight still "came in from all the cracks and holes like sharp arrows" ...

The second time, Wang Miao saw Mozi in the game. Mozi also devoted himself to studying the laws of the sun's movement and made a model of the universe for this purpose.

Just as Mozi confidently said that "the sun is about to rise and the eternal era is coming", the sun did rise. But this is a huge sun, much bigger than what Wang Miao and Zhou Wenwang saw.

As soon as the sun came out, people on the earth burned up, like countless "firewood thrown into the stove", and soon turned to ashes and went out. The "dry warehouse" for storing dehydrated human skin also exploded into ashes. At the same time, the lake began to evaporate, and the dispersed water vapor "covered the human ashes on the lake".

Of course, Mozi was burning, his body turned into a pillar of fire, his skin carbonized, and his unwilling arms instantly turned into burning charcoal poles.

When the huge sun set soon, night fell. The earth glows dark red at night, just like a piece of charcoal just fished out of the stove.

In the "chaotic era", sometimes the sun seems to be completely extinguished, and the earth is shrouded in endless nights and long cold years for a long time. In the coldest time, cold can "freeze stones into powder".

When Wang Miao first saw Mozi in the game, Mozi showed him the skeleton of Confucius standing gracefully in the distance.

At that time, Confucius predicted that the movement of the sun was based on the fact that everything in the universe should conform to etiquette. As a result, the forecast failed, but it suffered a long cold year. Confucius was first frozen into icicles and then turned into a skeleton.

However, the "three-body" world will sometimes usher in an "eternal era". When the "eternal era" comes, the earth is as warm as spring, and the cycle of day and night is as regular as that of the earth.

In the long "constant era", the intellectual civilization of the "three-body" world has developed rapidly. But in the rapid development, it is often destroyed by "troubled times". However, the seeds of wisdom and civilization have always been there. Therefore, the intellectual civilization of the "Three-body" world is growing hard in the irregular alternation of "chaotic era" and "constant era".
