Tell me about your favorite character from the show.

1. Who are they, where are they from? what do they do? do they have powers or abilities?

2. Why do you like this character?

My fav character of this book is Zhang Bei Hai, He didn’t have some special ability. He control  a spaceship. He killed three scientists, because three scientists can make human die. The aliens will attack earth in 400 years. But the humans just have some rocket, so they can not leave earth. So humans want to make the spaceships in two ways. One way is nuclear, another way is make the spaceship with the sun’s light. Zhang Bei Hai thinks nuclear is better, so he kills the three most important scientists who study the sunlight spaceship. I like him because he’s a hero. When the alien attack the earth, he defended the earth.
