Liu Cixin's craziest scientist: destroying one-third of the country for research

author:There are books to read quickly

Cinemas are finally back to work.

In the movie that is ready to be released, some shujun saw "The Wandering Earth: Leap 2020".

When it comes to "The Wandering Earth", readers who like Liu Cixin must have read the original work and know the plot.

And today, let's talk about another work of Teacher Liu: "Ball Lightning".

Liu Cixin's craziest scientist: destroying one-third of the country for research

The protagonist of the story, Dr. Chen, has a tragic childhood experience.

When he was young, he witnessed a mysterious ball of lightning drift in from the window, burning his parents to ashes in an instant.

Because of this childhood shadow, Dr. Chen was obsessed with this ball lightning.

Growing up, he began to delve into physics with all his might, hoping to reveal the secrets behind this supernatural phenomenon.

With his outstanding professional ability, a few years later, Dr. Chen went to Taishan to participate in a lightning research project.

It was a thunderstorm night, and Dr. Chen met a beautiful girl in white clothes and white pants, Lin Yun.

The two confirmed their eyes and found that they were both people who "loved" ball lightning. With common interests, they soon became acquainted with each other.

But Dr. Chen was surprised by Lin Yun's research method, and her positioning of ball lightning research was how to use lightning as a weapon to attack others.

Dr. Chen's parents died of ball lightning, because of this painful memory, Dr. Chen was very resistant to Lin Yun's experiment, but Lin Yun told Dr. Chen that if ball lightning was really applied to war, it could use electromagnetic fields to envelop the other side's aircraft carriers or tanks, thus ending the war with minimal casualties.

Therefore, Dr. Chen put his mind at ease and actively devoted himself to the other party's ball lightning research.

In order to derive a mathematical model of ball lightning, Lin Yun hacked into a foreign website and stole their computers to perform remote operations to speed up the operation.

However, her attempt was soon discovered, and she received an angry message: "Your despicable behavior makes us despise, but your research on ball lightning is meaningless, if you have any doubts, you can come to Me in Russia at once!" ”

Lin Yun, who had been scolded, was not angry, but keenly felt that this was likely to be a new opportunity. So she came to Russia according to the address above.

Unexpectedly, the place they visited was the Soviet-era ball lightning research base, which had a history of thirty years of studying ball lightning, and in these thirty years, they successfully triggered twenty-seven ball lightning bolts.

But the weirdest thing is that each time the parameters that produce ball lightning are very different from the last one.

The wife and son of the chief engineer, Gmov, both died under the ball lightning, and his ambition was also worn away, thus becoming a decadent old man who only borrowed wine to pour sorrow.

When he found several Chinese were calculating these familiar parameters. He had to tell them about this terrible history in good working spirit.

He sincerely hoped that these people would turn back soon and not waste their time and lives on ball lightning.

In Dr. Chen's view, the human tragedies of the former Soviet Union are the same as the shadows of his childhood.

In his opinion, if the study of ball lightning continued, it might lead to some unpredictable disasters, so he decided to give up, let Lin Yun persuade him, he turned a deaf ear, and then left without turning his head.

But soon after, Lin Yun's boyfriend found Dr. Chen and told him that Lin Yun had become "demonized" and that her obsession with weapons had reached a crazy point.

Only Dr. Chen could stop her uncontrollable madness. Forced by this situation, Dr. Chen was once again forced to join the research base of ball lightning.

Lin Yun was still rejoicing at Dr. Chen's return. In order to better control ball lightning, they also invited the famous physicist Ding Yi.

As the research progress of ball lightning continues to advance, the relationship between Ding Yi and Lin Yun has become more and more intimate, and their souls are attracted to each other, but Dr. Chen, who has quietly liked Lin Yun for a long time, has begun to feel bad in his heart.

Soon after, ball lightning finally had its place, a nuclear power plant was occupied by terrorists, and in the eyes of the military, if ball lightning was used to attack terrorists, it would not harm the nuclear reactor inside, which was undoubtedly the best option.

But there are not only terrorists in the nuclear power plant, but also dozens of schoolchildren as hostages.

In order to ensure the safety of the lives of people in the surrounding area of tens of kilometers, the military still decided to launch a ball lightning attack immediately, and all the people inside were killed on the spot by ball lightning.

Ding Yi and Lin Yun were indifferent to this matter, but Dr. Chen fell into deep self-blame. And because of this matter left the Military Research Institute.

Soon after, war broke out, China's aircraft carriers were destroyed by tornadoes created by the enemy, and Dr. Chen was forced to join the tornado defense organization, and the official hope was that he would regain the results of the original ball lightning research.

In this way, Lin Yun's weapons came in handy again, but this time, the ball lightning failed, and they suddenly deviated from the direction above the enemy army, and finally scattered and extinguished, without destroying an enemy. However, our army suffered heavy casualties for this operation.

But this was not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing was that at this time, Lin Yun, who was full of gray thoughts, actually had terrible thoughts.

She was determined to break through the boat and forcibly open the macro atom fusion experiment, determined to develop a new type of powerful ball lightning.

The experiment succeeded, causing the chips that stretched for hundreds of kilometers to be reduced to ashes, and one-third of China's land to become a primitive society overnight.

Lin Yun regretted the sins brought about by her willfulness, and she transformed herself into a quantum form and died in front of everyone.

However, what is surprising is that because of her experiment, China won the final victory in the war, because the developed countries were afraid of this weapon and threw olive branches to seek peace.

At the end of the story, Dr. Chen marries his college classmate Dai Lin, but there is always an empty vase in his room.

Sometimes, this vase will bloom with the fragrance of roses, and sometimes he will see a blue rose appear inside, and then this rose will disappear in the blink of an eye, Dr. Chen knows that this is the quantum rose that Lin Yun has inserted for him.
