“New Century エヴァンゲリオン theatrical version Air / まごころを, Jun に”
Because the alarm clock uses the episode “Komm, süsser Tod” from the theatrical version of “EVA”, it is simply named after it. I went back and searched for the last 500 days of writing “∞”, but I didn’t write anything on this topic, it should not be. I definitely remember that I must have written something in the context of the song loop, probably not using the title – but it must have been about death as well.
I have written a lot about “death”, but after speaking, I have a new understanding, because the proof of death is very simple, but what will happen after death, no one has given us the exact answer, so it is worthwhile A place to be entertained and fanciful.
Since 2012, there has been a feeling of being inexplicably accelerated. It was also in that year that I started to write an article every year that would not be published until the end of the year, titled “Writing Before the End of the World” (later I thought it was not auspicious, so I changed it to a few years before the New Year). Because the year of 2012 happened to be the destruction of the world of the language of the Mayan civilization – it turned out to be fortunate that the world was not destroyed that year.
And today, 10 years later, I should change the word to “Unfortunately, the world did not end that year” .
Especially in the past two years, the phrase “the world will be destroyed” when joking with others has also changed from helplessness at the beginning to a strange expectation now. But if the end of the world is really coming tomorrow, when such an exact time is given to me, I will not be able to remember what to do on the last night before the end of the world.
In the field of literature, discussions about the end of the world are often accompanied by a romantic expectation – people will go crazy, destroy, collapse, and do what they dare not do at the end of the world. When this romanticism and reality When both ideologies reach their climax, it must be the story of the sun rising as usual the next day. People who realize that the destruction did not come as expected, they start to reflect on their madness, regret their destruction, collapse their collapse, and then get the happy ending of the hero because they did what they dared not do.
Because the destruction is too easy, the first and second person in the world after the destruction are all attributed to nothingness, and the perspective of who the third person is, no longer has anything to do with the world after the destruction. That’s why we want to play with the world that has not yet been destroyed. People start anew after being resurrected from the dead – of course, this is only literature, and people who have not really experienced death and resurrection will never understand what “starting again” is. What kind of meaning, this cannot be summed up by those big principles, because only those who survive will know.
In the last 500 days, I wrote a novel with no intention of filling the pit at all, called “Jupiter”, which depicts Jupiter moving towards the earth because of a certain opportunity, and after absorbing Mars, approaching the earth. Originally thought that the earth would be destroyed, I did not expect that Jupiter’s “plan” to swallow the earth stopped. Because of Jupiter’s huge gravitational force, the earth became the 69th satellite of Jupiter, named “Aikos” (the discovery of Jupiter’s satellites at the time of writing) The data has not been added to 80). Because of being an appendage of Jupiter, Earth has three months of darkness and then three months of light. After the time rules are destroyed, the earth only has new time rules for “Dark Moon” and “Bright Moon”. The destruction of the ecosystem, after the original “planned” end of the world, mankind began to compete with each other for resources in the post-apocalyptic world – after all, the ultimate enemy of mankind is still the enemy.
“Jupiter” was not created, because it is not a standard science fiction novel, in order to avoid encountering nitpicks who insist on arguing about its feasibility, the conception of this novel is just a dream. I am afraid that I will encounter readers who regard “The Three-Body Problem” as a sociology work and quote “Three-Body Problem” for any theoretical knowledge. Wandering Earth can blow up Jupiter. They don’t think there are bugs, but you only need to design a little science fiction element, they will You can find a whole bunch of inferences from scientific theories.
Yes, there is an interesting setting in “Jupiter”, that is, a group of people who shout long live science, people who regard science fiction as the Bible, become slaves in it, they believe that human beings have the possibility of being redeemed, so they become Raised “tools” full of hopes and dreams at any time, in the dark moon, are used as beasts to search for hope in the dark, to attack and snatch the resources of other camps.
See, the last enemy of mankind can only be the enemy.
Another existence conceived in “Jupiter” is a mysterious “suicide group” named “Komm, süßer Tod”, or “Come on, sweet death”, they advocate not suicide, but a An extremely illusory ritual of immortality. The believers of “Komm, süßer Tod” believe that Jupiter, occupying half of the sky and giving people a great sense of oppression, is a kind of “reward”, and only those who truly believe in it can get the reward given by Jupiter. They established the first group of immigrants to Jupiter’s moon “Europa”. They believed that Europa was the only mistress of Zeus who deceived Hera, which means that Europa was a disguised hope with rules on which humans can restore order. .
“Komm, süßer Tod” built the “Noah’s Ark”, imitating the Bible and using livestock and poultry as the initial elements, ready to go to Europa together. This plan was naturally followed by others who wanted to live, and soon “Komm, süßer Tod” was captured, their Noah’s Ark was taken away, and another group of insatiable people boarded the immigration ship to Europa. The moment they started, “Komm, süßer Tod” announced that their plan had been successful – Jupiter’s gift was both a reward and a punishment, and the group of people who sat on the “Noah’s Ark” were infected with a terrible infection on board. Diseases, and these diseases are the masterpieces of those plagued livestock and poultry. Their departure also left more living space and resources for “Komm, süßer Tod” on the earth.
Right, the last enemy of mankind is still mankind!
