Civilization Number 140
Civilization Number 140 is a numbered civilization in the game Three Body, recorded as reaching the Zhou dynasty era before extreme cold destroyed it, one of many frozen collapses in the game's cycle.
Civilization Number 140 is one of the numbered civilizations of Three Body, the virtual reality game that runs through Liu Cixin's The Three-Body Problem. The game depicts a world whose societies grow during mild Stable Eras and are annihilated by the extremes of Chaotic Eras, with each attempt numbered and each ending recorded in a closing announcement. Civilization Number 140 is recorded as having advanced to a stage comparable to China's Zhou dynasty before succumbing to extreme cold, one of several of the game's civilizations frozen when its world drifted into deep winter. Like every fallen number in the sequence, it is followed by another beginning, as the game challenges its players to explain the cycle.
