Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin): Remarks at the end of the volume, Prisoner Star Prison

On September 10, 2022, Prisoner Xingtian Prison will be completed. It will take seven months to update 172w words, with an average of 8,000 words per day. Excluding the daily 4,000 new book period in the first two months, the average monthly update is 9,000 plus.

11w words have been written in this month's update, and the average daily w word is more than that.

The first volume of Gao Tianshang ended safely, and I am personally quite satisfied.

A plot in my past book counts as one volume, and the structure of a book is about 15~20 volumes. Gao Tianshang adopted a large-volume model. Before the book was opened, three volumes plus The structure of the final extra volume.

Of course, there may be no change in the essence, because a large volume is actually composed of several small volumes. Old readers can definitely see which plots can be counted as a volume, when it starts and ends, I I also discovered this after I wrote it, and I feel that it is no different from me. The next book should continue the mode of a small volume of one hundred or two hundred thousand words.

Next, let's summarize the current plot.

[Prisoner Star Prison] is the first volume of the three major volumes, and its purpose is to pave the way for the big stage of Terra Continent, the process for the protagonist to gradually understand the truth of this world.

In the prologue "Disciples and Teachers", Yin En, who was reincarnated in Terra, awakened the memory of his previous life. Under the guidance of his teacher Hilliard, he gradually understood the subtleties and grandeur of this world, and understood the unique philosophy of Terra And scientific concepts, and gradually walk on the road of sublimation, knowing a little bit of the past of his teacher in the past.

From a reincarnated person who only wanted to explore new possibilities in a different world, he gradually became down-to-earth, truly lived in this world, and connected with many people. Then he chose to inherit the teacher's belief and shoulder the burden of the other party's desire to transform. The dream of this world is gradually moving towards the future.

It was also during this process that Yin En noticed that the starry sky in the Terra continent was extremely rare, and the number of starless dark nights appeared more and more, and even became the norm.

At the end of the prologue, with the help of the silver chip, Yin En discovered the crumbling Moon of Observation. The pace is interrupted to pave the way.

Then, the volume of "The Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea" is the process of Yin En gradually moving towards the big stage of Terra after his initial development and growth.

Under the secret support of the viscount, Yin En got in touch with two noble researchers from the imperial capital, Isengard and Master Gosser. The Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea at the core of hatred.

In the great labyrinth, Yin En discovered the truth about the natives of Sequoia, met a swarm of brain-eating insects that were developing, obtained the highest management right of the center of Sequoia Base with the help of the silver chip, and learned something about the previous era. The secret of civilization.

As for this secret, there are the sources of many monsters and sublimated creatures on Terra, the specific impact of the disaster of the sky on the civilization of the previous era, and the real main line of this book, which has clues about the "Prisoner Star Prison".

In the universe where Terra is located, many cosmic civilizations, as well as civilizations that barely have the ability to navigate the starry sky, are doing their best to launch fire spacecraft towards other star fields, intending to preserve their own civilization fire, or simply as A tombstone engraved with the obsession that civilization never wants to be forgotten.

On the moon of Terra, many fireships crashed and found that their pre-epoch Terra civilization had just ended the unification war. The newly born alliance was full of desire to advance and explore. They absorbed a lot of alien technology, And created the original prototypes of many sublimated creatures, rapidly improving the technology of pre-epoch civilization (that is, alchemy).

However, there must be a reason behind all this. Many interstellar civilizations have sent fire spacecraft together, which must mean that there is a disaster in the universe that they have to escape, or even cannot escape. At the same time, the pre-epoch civilization also discovered that the stars in the starry sky were disappearing. This extremely abnormal phenomenon caused the pre-epoch civilization to try its best to develop technology and seek ways to escape the possible destruction.

They did not escape.

The catastrophe from the sky destroyed the civilization of the pre-epoch. The descendants of the formerly glorious Terra civilization became Sequoia people who lived in seclusion at the bottom of Sequoia Base under the trick of fate. The contradictions in life led to internal turmoil, created a swarm of brain-eating insects, caused the core power unit of the base to fail, and indirectly led to the birth of the future big storm.

The Sequoia people fled from their base in a hurry, and finally struggled to survive in the redwood forest in the South China Sea, and gradually evolved into today's Sequoia natives.

Yin En knew all this, and he knew more and more, but his doubts were getting bigger and bigger. Although he hasn't discovered the existence of Prisoner Star Heavenly Prison, a vague guess has already taken root in his heart.

But in any case, the past is over. Whether it's the gradual degeneration of the Sequoia people, or the grievances and grievances surrounding the Great Storm and the Great Labyrinth, whether it's the death of his father or the path of the swarm, he still chooses to move towards a better future.

The third act "Going to the Imperial Capital" is the scene where Yin En left the "novice village" of Port Harrison and officially set foot on the land of Terra.

After summing up the harvest and knowing that Terra is now a post-apocalyptic civilization that was born after the destruction of an extremely developed civilization, Yin En understood that staying in a port city on the border of the empire is even a matter of cultivating fields for decades , It is nothing more than making a city prosperous. If he wants to know the truth of the world better and change the future of the world, he must go to a bigger stage, gain more knowledge, broaden his horizons and also develop contacts.

In this way, when he is really ready to change the world in the future, he will have enough wealth, resources, and technical reserves as his confidence.

During this process, Yin En saw the conflicts among the countries in the Terra continent and the harm they caused to ordinary people in this world.

Whether it's the dead merchants along the way, the kidnapped children in Jinye Town, or the series of tragedies that happened in Lai'an, the baron of Lai'an and his children are all Thai in essence. A series of events derived from the conflicts among the various countries. Lai'an led directly to the future Avakland event, and in the process, the empire, Feiyandi, Huaiguang Church, Dragon Worship and Canaan Moor all appeared on the scene, revealing their respective goals.

This world is full of contradictions, people are ignorant and confused, even if they are being used, they don't know it. Yin Enhuai left Nanling with puzzlement and continued to the imperial capital, but he was always shrouded in the conflict between the empire and Feiyandi. All this made him feel angry, but as a scholar, the rational part told him that one who has not yet In a unified planetary civilization, it is natural for such contradictions to appear, and it is an inevitable limitation of history.

But Yin En wants to change this for granted. He wants to be the pioneer of a new history.

Finally, Yin En saw the imperial capital. The majestic lonely mountain city and the magnificent planetary shield generator finally let him understand how advanced and developed the Terra civilization was in the past, and how powerful and distorted the current Terra civilization is.

That is definitely not something that can be changed by farming in a small place, making some gunpowder, and getting some guns. This post-apocalyptic civilization has a solid order, a sound industrial system, and an intricate political situation. It is not only disrespectful to science, but also unrealistic to change it on your own.

After finally understanding what kind of heavy responsibility the teacher wanted to entrust to his belief, Yin En felt relieved and strengthened his goal.

He wants to understand this world, this civilization, and the most advanced and developed side of Terra.

Then go ahead and change it.

So Yoon-eun steps into the future.

So he came to the imperial capital.

The fourth act, which is the ending scene of this volume, is naturally, "Prisoner Star Prison".

In the imperial capital, Yin En saw the most obvious social contradictions, the powerlessness of ordinary people and the indifference of sublimated people. This is indeed an advanced and developed city, with alchemy trains, aerospace armor, and mobile fortresses. There are huge transport vehicles, well-developed alchemy, and the Central Great Plains planting area for mechanized farming.

The transformation of the central plain by the late emperor Yin Naijia II enabled most of the residents of the entire empire to have enough to eat, and the ascendants sheltered ordinary people and ensured their lives and continuation. The legal basis of the rule of the kingdoms of Terra is indestructible and unbreakable.

Yin En watched all this, he helped some people, but more people he couldn't help.

In order to obtain more resources, Yin En showed his strength and got attention and investment from the alchemy circle. At the same time, the second prince Mikael, who was aware of this, also came to talk to the protagonist. ——Mikael reveals the real problem of this post-apocalyptic civilization for Yin En.

——Over-developed technology makes the existence of many people bordering on meaningless.

This is a problem that only appeared in the world of Datong. The jobs of most people can be replaced by artificial intelligence long ago. In a Datong society where morality and civilization have been developed to a high level, this step is the basis for moving from the kingdom of necessity to the kingdom of freedom.

However, after the destruction of the pre-epoch civilization, the Terra civilization that obtained the corresponding technology lost this morality and civilization system. And because of the catastrophe that fell from the sky, the sublimation technology of the Terra civilization developed greatly, creating the existence of the fourth and fifth energy levels that ordinary interstellar civilizations could not conceive. These gods walking on the earth are the crystallization of the highest level of technology. They can almost be regarded as the ultimate weapon of an interstellar civilization. They are humanoid star sea battleships and the center of alien colonization.

Multiple reasons superimposed, resulting in the fact that today's Terra civilization can't get rid of the ruins caused by the collapse of the civilization of the previous era. It can only wait slowly in the dark, waiting for germination or decay.

After receiving the advice from the second prince, Yin En understood that the best way to deal with the technically superior side was to join it, learn from it, become it, and then bury it.

He began to eagerly learn the knowledge of Terra, absorbing the technology of the imperial capital and the experience of his predecessors through the silver chip. Although those are not the most advanced technologies, only with the foundation and sudden growth and germination of the future.

And just when Yin En was gradually getting better, an accident happened in Avakland. This was the first major event that Yin En encountered that was enough to be recorded in the annals of history, and it was also the first time he saw a battle between powerhouses of the fourth energy level.

It was also the first time he understood how quickly and worthlessly ordinary people would die under the power and conflict of the sublimated ones.

In the labyrinth of the subspace, Yin En eradicated one of the culprits, the researcher of the Academy of Gnosis, and became the Lord of the Dead. Grand Duke Sorin, the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, Grand Duke Thorin, who saw through one of Yoon's real identities, told the two young men the truth.

——In fact, the Terra star field has already encountered the attacks that other interstellar civilizations have encountered. The solar system of Terra has been shrouded in the "Prisoner Star Hell".

A super-giant cage with a radius of five light years that isolates the inner light from the outside world, imprisons the entire Terra solar system in one corner.

The long-standing speculation has become a reality. After a brief shock, Yin En found that he was not surprised, because there is indeed only one possibility that can explain everything that happened in the starry sky.

Although Grand Duke Sorin is in despair, Yin En believes that although they still don't know the exact shape of the prison star prison five light years away, since it has a gap, it can let some starlight from the outside shine in , and even the occurrence of disasters such as supernova explosions, it proves that the Prisoner Star Hell is not complete.

The crack in Prisoner Star Prison is most likely related to the disaster from the sky. Although the civilization of the previous era was destroyed because of this, it also left them with a key.

Grand Duke Thorin chose to give up, but Yin En always chose to move forward.

Choose to step into the future.

Yin En, who knew the existence of Prisoner Star Prison, finally obtained the knowledge of Terra he wanted. He fully developed at the fastest speed, and knew the future development trend from his prophetic power.

He embraced the possibility of spiritual disaster, but still tried to do better. Moreover, Yin En has gradually witnessed that the situation between the empire and Flameland is slipping towards an all-out war. This is a disaster, but also an opportunity. For him, who wants to change the existing order, this is the best time to fish in troubled waters.

No matter how terrifying the Prisoner Star Prison is, whether the cage five light years away is still closing, he must start from the front of his eyes, from within his reach.

Therefore, Yin En chose to return to Nanling, to return to his territory.

It's time to get started and really change the world with your own will.

Step by step, Yin En, who is firmly moving towards the future and the dream in his heart, ended his observation, lurking and exploration phase when he learned of one of the world's lowest secrets, "Prisoner Star Prison".

There are still many secrets in Terra, the disaster from the sky, the ecology of the world, and the enemies in the void related to the real dragon are all problems that have yet to be solved.

But now he is going to farm.

This is the story in the first volume of "Prisoner Star Prison". It can also be regarded as a general collection, roughly selecting important stages, allowing readers to review the protagonist's experience.

By the way, let me, the author, also review the previous stories, and organize my thoughts by explaining to readers, so as to make better preparations for subsequent creations.

I believe this is necessary and not a waste of time. More preparation means a better story.

In this volume, I used a lot of brand-new techniques for writing, and I also tried to make a self-breakthrough.

Old readers may know that in the first few books, I was actually a fast-paced person. Whether it is "Soul of Burning Steel" that starts with a strong player, or "Monsters die when they are killed", the genius rapid upgrade flow is the same. Whether it is storytelling or upgrading, the speed is as fast as flying.

But it is also because of this that I always feel that a lot of ideas are wasted when two books and two books with 10 million words are written.

There are many stories in these two books, and I think about them very well, but due to the too fast pace, I can't dig deep into the charm of these stories.

Since I can write fast, I also have to try to slow down and retract freely. When it should be fast, it should be fast, and when it should be slow, it should be slow. This is a mature author and a story writer.

So in the sky, I try my best to describe a world, write the story of Yin En in the continent of Terra, and reveal the secrets and truths behind this world.

As I said at the beginning, I'm personally very happy with this. Throughout the first volume, there is basically no redundant plot. Each plot has a corresponding prelude and follow-up. Everything is interlocking. There may be a little problem with the details, but as the first time I tried this way of writing As a novice, I think it is acceptable.

But that doesn't mean I don't need corrections.

I am a person with a strong desire to explain. If readers say they don’t understand in this chapter, I will basically answer it when I see it.

The same is true for the problems in the book. I am very worried that readers will not understand my plot, so most of the causes and consequences will be mentioned, even several times, which will seem cumbersome.

In fact, this kind of explanation is unnecessary, because people who don't understand can't understand it after explaining it, and readers who understand it don't need to say it a second time.

The next volume will try to correct this problem, but I also hope that readers will not ask some too basic questions, such as, "my brother is two years old, and my father died eight years ago. Dare to ask who my brother is...".

I wrote my stepfather in the first chapter! Also highlighted the logo! But now there are still 1~3 people asking this kind of question every day!

I have seen this kind of problem too much, and I really don't blame me for being cautious and explaining some problems more.

All in all, if the high heaven is essentially a story about curiosity, then the first volume [Prisoner Star Prison] is about the belief towards the future.

Whether it is inheriting the teacher's belief, walking out of the South China Sea Great Labyrinth, choosing to go to the imperial capital, or finally returning to Nanling to develop, in essence, Yin En is constantly choosing to go to the future instead of choosing a more comfortable and safer life. process.

This is a very difficult thing, just as I can actually escape into the comfort zone tomorrow, but I still come to fantasy, writing a niche, mixed with science fiction content, about exploration and curious stories .

Above the sky is a breakthrough for me in my inherent field. So far, it has indeed added a lot of new skill points for me, but I have also encountered many problems. For months, I have been unable to sleep at night because of updates, and I have been thinking about the development of the plot while eating during the day, which is very different from the easy writing that was originally expected.

Yes. Choose the future, choose the unknown, fear and sorrow.

But it is also the darkness before the dawn of tomorrow. As long as you step through, you will have a new scenery and color.

After finishing the testimonials, here are a few science fiction novels that can be regarded as sources of inspiration.

The Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny and Xeelee by Stephen Baxter. Of course, there are Liu Cixin's "Country Teacher" and "Mountain".

The King of Light can be said to be the pioneer of fantasy performance novels at the core of science fiction. Mr. Zelazny showed me a mythical science fiction world with the incredible imagination of that era.

Xeelee is famous for its grandeur and magnificence. Mr. Baxter's imagination is top-notch even now. Among them, the short story "Orion's Line of Defense" and the novel "Joyful" are classics. You may have read these stories Or it may be a part of the story, but they don't know that they are all under the Xeelee worldview.

As for Teacher Liu Cixin, I don't think I need to introduce too much, just watch and finish.

Yes, the source of inspiration is not a fantasy book... I am ashamed, but this is also my heartfelt wish after reading the Queen of Light - I must write such a fantasy book! Now it's a dream come true.

If you have time, you can read them, they are all good books and stories.

To be honest, since April 1st, it has updated 8000~9000 every day, and this month it is 1w every day. I don’t have time to read books to absorb nutrients... I don’t vote for the monthly ticket on such a hard-working cloudy day !

Thinking of this, I can't help but think about it... My friend next door, not to mention the book monster, is very happy to touch. Even Ting Ri and A Mao can frequently ask for leave in the name of the new volume, which makes me envious. Hate, it's a pity that I chose the large-volume mode for this book, I really did it on my own!

The next book is definitely a small volume, among other things, the chance of asking for leave is several times more for no reason!

Especially, I recently went for a physical examination, and my muscle mass and metabolism are still healthy, but I have a tendency to fatty liver, and there are still many minor problems in my body.

Schedule, mood, and mental allergies, insomnia, tenosynovitis, and lumbar spine problems. Some time ago, I even had depression symptoms. I was so scared that I immediately went to the gym for a while to decompress. I don't have the time and mood to do live codewords, and the water group is much less.

Now I take a cup of pills every morning, and I am obviously not a patient, but I am living a life of a patient... Writing is a profession that is really stressful, and healthy living habits are really important.

Not much to say.

Next is the second volume [Lord of Steel].

Steel is not only a symbol of civilization, but also the embodiment of wrist and character.

Different from the teacher Hilliard and the lord Yin Naijia II who is loyal to the teacher, Yin En is by no means a good person and kind person in the general sense. He is more inclined to solve the problem thoroughly than simply providing help to solve the problem the source of the problem.

That is, a distorted social order.

He has methods like raging fire and cold steel. In order to achieve his own goals, he will never be soft-hearted, whether it is to himself or others.

In this volume, Yin En will gradually create the order in his heart, and truly reveal the truth of the Prisoner Star Prison and the grand plans behind the countries of the Terra world, as well as the hearts of many powerful people. 'The world I want to create'.

Some people approve, some people oppose, but what remains unchanged is that a new order is spreading.

Just like the ice that spreads on the water in the severe winter season.

Steel hammered into shape as if flowing from a furnace.

The first chapter of [Lord of Steel] will be updated tomorrow at 12:00 noon—at least no leave, and I hope readers will support it.
