Before you know it, this book has exceeded a million words.

This number sounds a bit bluffing, but it is actually dwarfed by many of the biggest online plays. In the same way, I also feel that I have not been able to express my initial intention and story structure smoothly, and I always feel that there is still a lot to say, and I feel that it is a little too much.

From the second volume onwards, the story has basically entered the formal stage.

Of course, the second volume is only a prelude to the whole book, and it tells the reader about an end times, a shocking conspiracy, and a struggle to die without freedom!

Overall, the author thinks that he has successfully completed the second volume, but the level of completion can only be regarded as a passing level, and the plot is dragged out in many places, and the text is redundant, and it needs to be improved.

And from the overall story, the author still has a lot of omissions.

For example, Lin Yan's main story line has almost disappeared since the beginning of Cerberus's play, and Lin Sen has only found a few words about Lin Yan after a hard search.

On this point, the author would like to explain.

In fact, at the beginning, the author's narration was not intermittently unfolded with Lin Sen as a bystander, but directly from Lin Yan's perspective.

However, the author soon found that in order to complete this part of the story, Lin Yan will only be a shackle, not a help, and it is difficult for readers to understand the structure of the whole story through one person's experience. It is difficult to understand why Han Kongwen, Vaisala, Amy, and Qin Qing have a relationship with each other, let alone understand whether they are partners or enemies who use each other.

In fact, readers and friends who read the content of the second volume of the author should be clear that Han Kongwen and the others have been using the "human heart" to keep the secret from the beginning in order to avoid being detected by the golden birdcage, so in this grand performance, the communication between each participant can only be carried out through guesswork, so the misunderstanding was born.

For example, Vaisala Amy, as a relatively early batch of mechanical lifeforms that replaced human bodies, in her eyes, many of Han Kongwen's actions were incomprehensible, so she boldly used the Lystiwin family to introduce Nanying Jane and others to Cerberus, and let them help Amy observe Han Kongwen and monitor Han Kongwen.

In fact, Han Kongwen, who abandoned human nature, really does not need to be suspected of existing, everything she does is based on the supreme belief in human freedom and survival, and even in order to avoid the whole plan being entangled by the weakness of human nature, she helped the Golden Birdcage to experiment on human bodies, and arranged assassinations again and again according to the requirements of the Golden Birdcage.

But in the same way, Han Kongwen's cleverness made her deeply realize the danger of being single and weak, so she chose Lin Yan, but she couldn't directly tell Lin Yan what she was doing, what the world had encountered, and what had happened.

However, she can turn Lin Yan into a third person, let her perceive this line, and then become each other's support in the establishment of mutual trust.

Through this analysis, some readers who are still a little confused should be able to understand the content of the second volume smoothly, right?

After understanding, the author will deepen the second volume here and add some deleted content.

In the second volume, it begins with touching Tulaya from Lin Sen's point of view.

Tulaya's original appearance was the "Dusk City-State", but in fact the Dusk City-State had sunk into the depths of the underground lake many years ago [PS: Careful readers should have noticed the foreshadowing left by the author early on. ]

The Dusk City-State that Lin Sen came into contact with was actually a perfectly replicated experimental base, with the Dusk City-State being the main experimental field, and the underground of the Dusk City-State being the incubation center of Turaya.

Here, humans use Tulaya's technology to continuously produce new, more stable golems to replace the unstable elements of this world, as well as to provide immortal organ replacement for Rhea's disciples.

Among these disciples was the patriarch of the House of Yrstein, Rank.

Wise readers and friends should immediately think that Mr. Mers, the doctor of the Lystewin family, is also from Han Kongwen's faction, which has been clearly shown by his remarks, but the value of his existence makes him seem to be a bad person, in fact, Merce is not only not a disciple, on the contrary, he is a noble liberal.

After the plot of the Dusk City-State was finally completely peeled back after a series of interpretations, there was a huge reversal in the plot, and many people may feel very confused at this time.

Especially when it comes to the description of the fifth dimension.

Does Lin Sen have a puppet?

The answer is!

No!

Ami and Lin Sen are actually the same person, but Ami is Lin Sen who is trapped in a prisoner state in the loop of time and space, and he was never aware of Ami's problems until he pursued Han Wensheng to the fifth dimension.

So? If Tulaya is not a space-time cycle, then does a space-time cycle exist?

In the author's intention, there is.

The fifth dimension is the best proof that by referring to the understanding of dimensions in real science, in the fifth dimension, space-time can be folded, which means that there is space-time travel in the fifth dimension.

Different from the strong reciprocity of the third dimension (which can be roughly understood as the stability of a triangle), the fifth dimension gives matter more forms and greater possibilities.

So the author boldly added his own conjecture to the article, and then artistically transformed this scientific cognition. As for whether you like it or not, the author can only look forward to it.

Through Tulaya, Lin Sen learned a corner of the truth of the world, and it was this corner that gave Lin Sen the curiosity and courage to unlock the truth of the whole world next.

Especially when Lin Sen thought that the bad luck was over but suddenly found that the "home" he dreamed of could never go back, he gradually woke up in his consciousness, and his persistence was not only based on the expectation of his family, but also the pride of being born.

So Lin Sen decided to return to Cerberus and unravel the mystery of it all himself.

The result is......

With a deeper understanding, Lin Sen suddenly realized that the truth did sound much more difficult than it was to receive......

It turns out that the whole world is a "dusk city-state" under the management of Tulaya, and human civilization is in decline like the twilight sun.

The glorious victory that once went down in history turned out to be a last resort of self-deception, and Zanspor's greatest contribution was to preserve the last dignity and hope for humanity with a big lie, and now, this hope has blossomed, and it is time to make a final choice.

Here, the author has cut down six sets of content that originally existed in the outline and concept.

Group 1: The highlight of Yu'er's sacrifice.

Originally, in the author's thoughts, Yu'er's sacrifice for humanity was an extremely important drama, and I built a stage for her and built all the elements, however, after thinking about it, I finally denied this part of the content, because Yu'er's sacrifice is difficult to embody.

If it was the ignorance that stopped her, the humans who sent all the mechanical creatures to the judgment seat, then her sacrifice was too idealistic heroism.

And if she had broken through the army of mechanical creatures and made a sacrifice, the scene would have been redundant.

So in the end, I will pass this part of the content and leave it to the imagination of readers and friends.

Group 2: The ending of Merce et al

At the beginning, Merce should have been the opener of the play, and he and Lyric Steven Langke both had a very heavy role, including a lot of dialogue, but later the author thought that although Mers existed from the beginning, the dialogue between the two was still too dry.

It just so happened that at this time, the author was reviewing the past and learning about the new, so I rewatched the masterpieces such as the Twelve Citizens and This Man from Earth, so there was the content of the second act of the trial, which was imitated...... Very average...... It stands to reason that this trial will last for a long time, and the conversation with several people will also last for a long time, but the final completion rate is only 40%, which is far less than the level that the author expected himself, which not only needs to be improved, but also needs a lot of accumulation and learning.

Group 3: Footage of Lin Yan and Canaan fighting side by side

Readers who read through Act II will know that in the official version, there is much about Canaan and Lin Yan in the second half of the volume, and if there is a description, it is rarely very brief.

In fact, this is mainly to avoid exacerbating unnecessary misunderstandings. Because according to the author's original idea, Lin Yan was also going to be sent to the judgment seat, and Canaan even went on a killing spree to save her. But this kind of plot development deviates from the author's intention, so the author decided to be gentler and leave these exciting contents to the third volume, not here, because in the second volume, human beings are weak, and the disasters they themselves suffer are terrible enough, so there is no need to aggravate the plot and follow some fixed routines.

So there is a plot in the text, Lin Yan fought for the human race to the point where only her head remained, and Canaan watched her stubbornly leave.

Group 4: Lin Xue saves mankind

It stands to reason that among the three members of the Lin family, Lin Xue once appeared as an important character in some paragraphs, and her setting should also be a girl with a story.

In fact, the author did design a complete story axis for Lin Xue separately, but the content mainly revolves around her special body, as well as some of the treatment she suffered, and her view of the world, as well as what she did after she went crazy, and even thought about whether to make her and Lin Sen enemies.

Such a sadistic plot is very interesting, the betrayal of relatives, love and kill, is the most familiar and most interesting old routine.

But the author didn't like it, so I rejected it.

But such willfulness is not just willfulness, in the third volume, Lin Xue will show everyone a completely different side, her story will not only unfold, but also become an important part.

Group 5: Qi Xuan's awakening

E-sports player Qi Xuan, in the game, he dominated, but soon the attributes of waste wood were still revealed, but you would never have imagined that in the initial setting, Qi Xuan not only did not waste firewood, but also awakened and subverted the existence of the entire number order world, which is a very important villain.

But again, this development deviates from the original author's story structure, he is a child left in this world by Yang Yurong and Han Wensheng, and his story will not end there, because he has his reason for being.

What is the reason for this? Hehe~ I'm going to look for it in the third volume.

Group 6: The Prophetic Division

As mentioned in the text of the second volume, the Prophet, the apparent ruler of the world of the number order, was actually composed of two subjects, one named Victoria and the other named Violdred.

Victoria is responsible for creation, and Violdred is responsible for destruction.

Both creation and destruction are integral parts of the world.

On this point, the author has especially deepened the content of a paragraph, that is, the world after the loss of Violdred, after the loss of destruction, the world of the number order expands infinitely, and the world is getting bigger and bigger, and it is becoming more and more empty.

So the author once planned to describe the story of the prophet's split under Qi Xuan's interference in a large paragraph, but after thinking about it, this content is of little significance to the advancement and development of the whole story, because Qi Xuan exists as a key and already has value, and the most important thing about this value is not to divide the prophet into two, but to lead Lin Sen to discover the truth of the matter.

The answer that leads to Yang Yurong and then brings out the whole secret is the main content, so this paragraph has also been cut.

……

The above content may not be very friendly to the reader, because the whole book is not over yet, and the reader may have just entered the state and was pulled into reality by me.

In reality, however, I have what I have in mind.

Reflecting on the world from the story, what is the reality?

In real science, there is a bold assumption of "quantum mechanics", which holds that the universe is a super-quantum computer, and that human beings and all things are nothing more than sets of programmed beings, existing in an incomparably real "virtual".

Some scoffed at this as nonsense.

But in fact, this is nonsense, and it is a perception that is limited by the narrow human mind.

Our ego leads us to think that "virtual" is the kind of technology we have created, full of bugs, and even VR can easily distinguish between "real" and "virtual".

However, as the concept explained in the famous science fiction masterpiece "The Three-Body Problem", human civilization may be thousands of times, or even tens of thousands of times, greater than the gap between monkeys and humans on the earth in the face of high-level civilizations.

The Three-Body Problem used water droplets to completely destroy the fleet that mankind is proud of, but lost to the "Law of the Dark Forest", from which it is not difficult to see that the author of "The Three-Body Problem" has always tried to tell mankind to learn to be humble, to learn to recognize and understand the world with a more open mind.

So, if I take out the novel today and analyze it boldly, will the content of the novel be affected?

Actually, it's not, obviously, I'm not writing a YY article, nor an invincible article, but a relatively niche rational science fiction article, putting human beings to death, and then thinking boldly and unbridledly, which is what the author is doing.

At the same time, the author is also actively introspecting, self-reflecting, and self-cognizing, and will try his best to get rid of the previous shortcomings in the third volume, and tell a better story with a better pen.

The title of the third volume is "Homecoming".

It mainly tells what happened in the thirty years after humanity experienced the destruction of the world.

During these thirty years, humanity has not been truly free because of the fall of the Golden Birdcage, and the scars left by the Golden Birdcage are still bleeding, and if they are not healed, humanity will eventually perish.

This is a race that will inevitably be eliminated if you don't evolve.

Humanity has to fight against xenos, and it has to race against time.

Fortunately, at this time, human beings can already speak boldly and speak boldly, and they no longer worry that their words and deeds will be replaced by the strict monitoring of the golden birdcage.

As a result, the rift between human beings was eliminated by an apocalyptic catastrophe, and sublimated ideas helped humanity to better cope with the unknown future.

Lin Sen and others are also facing new challenges.

In "Homecoming", there is a series of stories about Lin Sen's creation of forces, the elimination of potential threats hidden in the human community, and the return to the earth, and so far the author can reveal only so much.

The details will be presented in the third volume.

Why was the Force created?

Where are the potential threats?

How does Lin Xue's story unfold?

Where did Lin Yan go again?

What is the purpose of returning to Earth?

After so many years, what happened to the earth, and why did humans flee the earth back then?

The answers to these questions are in Volume III.

I hope that I will be able to successfully complete the challenge and complete the most important volume of this book!

Finally, at the end of this chapter, a little thought from your heart.

I actually knew early on that writing something like this would be hard to get the support and love of readers. After all, we are already very tired after working hard in the peaceful and prosperous world, and the most important thing we want to do after work every day is to have a good rest, but for many people, this simple wish is still a luxury.

More young people can only read fragmented through commuting to work or going to the toilet, and the main direction of this reading is not apocalyptic science fiction like mine, but things such as "Douyin" and "jokes" that can bring joy to everyone.

The same is true for the author, I don't know when the author has lost the time and mood to read books with peace of mind, and I am very tired every day, but the author still firmly believes that the times are a process of development, and the excitement of any period will not be the charm of the image text itself.

When the development of the whole society reaches a certain level, and the times develop to a new environment, people will still settle down to read a book, and at that time, maybe my work will have its meaning.

At the very least, I don't regret the time and effort I put into completing the work.

It is often said that perseverance is precious.

And I don't plan to be "smart" or "pleaser" in writing, because I have a job, and writing used to be just a hobby.

Now I don't plan to use it as my food, what I want to do and do is to learn the value of perseverance, and by the way, to hone my patience and confidence.

Because I always believe that if you do something for a long time, practice makes perfect.

Even if the book doesn't show its glory, I will continue to finish it!

All of them have only one purpose, and that is to create a world that is very mine!

End of Volume 2 Summary ~~~~ Please look forward to the third volume that will come with the New Year: Homecoming!
