What you know
Book 1: The Three-Body Problem
- Ch 7Three Body is an immersive game accessible only by V-suit, set in a world where the sun moves unpredictably.
- Ch 7The game's goal, as King Wen states it, is to discover the pattern of the sun's motion, on which civilization's survival depends.
- Ch 7The game says the civilization's seed remains and invites players to log on again in the future.
- Ch 8Wang concludes that the game's designers compressed its information content to hide a more complex reality, like a seemingly empty photograph of the sky.
- Ch 10Da Shi believes the Three Body game is definitely connected to events and says several Battle Command Center specialists are playing it.
- Ch 11Civilization has been reborn repeatedly; Civilization Number 139 reached the Steam Age by luck, not by finding the sun's laws.
- Ch 11Wang notices the in-game sun has a small, dense core surrounded by wispy transparent layers, suggesting hidden data in the game.
- Ch 15The game generates a distinct world for each player based on their ID; Copernicus's is the European High Middle Ages with anachronistic figures.
- Ch 15The game rewards players on the right path; Wang's explanation advances it to the second level.
- Ch 16Its servers are overseas with strong security; it is not run for profit, has unusually high quality and information, and is developed by people worldwide in an open-source style.
- Ch 17After logging out, Wang was told that at his level he must give his age, education, employer and position to continue playing the game.
- Ch 18Three Body is not meant for profit; its purpose is to gather people who share a common ideal.
- Ch 18The game borrows human society as a familiar background to simulate Trisolaris's development; the real Trisolaris differs but its three suns are real.
- Ch 19The servers are about to be shut down, and the game will go directly to its final scene.
- Ch 20The game ends after the fleet departs, with a message asking Wang to attend an Earth-Trisolaris Organization meet-up if he keeps his promise.
- Ch 29The ETO built the Three Body game to spread Trisolaran religion and recruit younger members from lower social strata, though it mostly attracted intellectuals.
- Ch 29The game explains Trisolaran culture and history under a shell of human history; players who advance are examined and recruited.
