"What a joke!"
"A rare science fiction masterpiece in human history? Who does he think he is!"
In the editorial office of "Science Fiction World", a middle-aged man in his forties looked at his mobile phone, his face turning red with anger.
It was clearly written on the phone: Kong Fangxuancheng’s own science fiction work is the best science fiction work in human history.
Fart, fart! Bullshit! !
As the editor-in-chief of Science Fiction World, he was absolutely furious.
Big talk!
There are not many people in the science fiction world, and they have no influence in the first place, but they are the only ones left in China who mainly focus on science fiction.
This is their only pride.
"Why is the editor-in-chief so angry?" An editor took a peek and asked in the work group.
Someone immediately replied: "In recent history, science fiction has all been led by America."
"The country that was the first to land on the moon has a unique advantage in this area."
"Chinese science fiction has actually always existed, but the sense of existence has always been low, and many people will write some poor science fiction works in order to easily get manuscripts passed and get royalties."
"There's no way around it. Good stories in our magazine are very rare, so naturally we need some third-rate stories to fill in the other gaps."
"Editor Lao Niu hates this matter deeply... and we know our own affairs, and Chinese science fiction... has just started in the past few years."
"Some people say it's the best science fiction work in human history, and of course that makes him angry."
The editor understands.
Is the co-author using science fiction IP to hype?
In recent years, China will also manned a manned mission to the moon, and the science fiction concept has become a hot topic, but how can beautiful flowers suddenly bloom on dry soil?
Chief Editor Niu read the message several times. It was sent to him by Rongsen Company, although he didn't know why it was sent to his mobile phone.
He and Rong Sen's people just met each other.
However, this news comes very timely!
"Buying fame and reputation?"
He snorted coldly, opened the door and walked out, hailing a taxi.
"Master, please go to Greentown Building."
He would like to see how rare the so-called rare works in human history are! !
"Chinese science fiction is recovering! All kinds of monsters and monsters are popping up!"
“I don’t know anything about science fiction, I can’t even tell the difference between soft science fiction and hard science fiction!”
"The last one was China's Legend of China, but this one is a 'rare' science fiction masterpiece!!"
Are you really afraid that the wind will flash your tongue?
By the time he arrived at Greentown Building and found Xinhua Bookstore, it was already overcrowded.
There was a constant stream of murmurs.
He couldn't hear clearly and asked about the rules. He immediately bought a copy of "The Wandering Earth" and took it directly to the rest bench to read.
Because there is no room in the store.
Before leaving, he took a deep look at the bookstore.
"A songwriter can have so many fans just by writing a science fiction book."
“This is the tragedy of Chinese science fiction!!”
He walked very fast, so he didn't see it.
People who opened "The Wandering Earth" were filled with shock!
…………
Chief Editor Niu leaned on the bench and opened The Wandering Earth.
Looking at the thickness, there are more than 200,000 words in total.
"The Wandering Earth" on Earth is quite famous, but it is actually a short story.
But "The Wandering Earth" after Zhao Ziluo's revision is different.
Blue Star's "The Wandering Earth" is based on the concept of an imaginary planet called "Earth". First of all, it is not about the disasters of the earth.
Instead, a lot of content from "The Three-Body Problem" has been added and explained.
Editor-in-Chief Niu calmed down when he turned the first page.
This is the quality of being an editor-in-chief.
Any book cannot be read with subjective will.
He watched quietly, and time passed unconsciously.
After he read three pages and finished the first one, he suddenly looked up from the book with an extremely complicated expression on his face.
no the same……
It was completely different from what he had thought about before: fishing for fame!
"In any book, you can tell from between the lines whether the author is serious about writing."
"This book... the author actually wrote it seriously!"
The paragraph structure, words and sentences are all carefully chosen!
His mentality has changed somewhat.
Not to mention the title "rare in human history".
At least Kong Fang, a cross-border author, did not perfunctory everyone.
If the writing is not good, it is a matter of level.
But now it seems to him that the writing is very good!
Although the first picture does not involve any science fiction, it tells the background of the story and draws out an era of ideological turmoil that has never happened here.
But it looks very real!
Everyone has flesh and blood!
"This guy... has a very high level of writing."
He became interested.
Read on, a young girl named Ye Wenjie became desperate when her family was persecuted by reactionaries.
She is a college student.
Communications major.
In that era, college students were very precious.
As an intellectual, she left behind a life. And he was assigned to work as an educated youth in a high mountain village in Zangzhou for three years.
The first chapter is about the times and the people affected by the times.
"This should be soft science fiction...compared to hard science fiction, it is science fiction whose plots and themes focus on subjects such as philosophy."
Editor-in-Chief Niu doesn’t see any hint of hard science fiction... no, even the shadow of science fiction!
It can only be attributed to soft science fiction.
The importance of science, technology and the laws of physics is downplayed in soft science fiction. It is called "soft" science fiction because the subject matter it covers is often classified as soft science or the humanities.
Hard science fiction is the opposite.
For example, if a science fiction writer wants to write about black holes, he must understand black holes extremely well, even to the level of a professor!
Otherwise, it is not rigorous and will be sprayed by the science fiction circle!
At least there must be a self-consistent explanation.
With this kind of thinking, Chief Editor Niu entered the second chapter.
But looking at it...his eyes suddenly lit up!
Zhao Ziluo's "The Wandering Earth" is actually far different from the original version, and many characters even just borrowed names.
Instead, he summarized several of Liu's famous science fiction works and created a "chronicle."
What shocked Chief Editor Niu was that Ye Wenjie received a signal.
This signal does not belong to any known channel!
But America’s singing!
However, the signal is very weak and there is a lot of noise. I can't even hear the lyrics clearly.
So, Ye Wenjie wrote a letter, recorded these signals on tape, and asked her university teachers.
However, the answer the teacher gave her was simply incredible!
"This is America's anthem."
"Actually, I haven't heard of it either, but you should know that before the disintegration of the Furry Bear Kingdom, there was a space race with America, right?"
Blue Star also has the competition between America and Mao Xiong. This period is almost exactly the same as the history of Blue Star, and Editor-in-Chief Niu unknowingly stepped into it.
“America’s victory came from manned landing on the moon.”
"And during the manned moon landing, they launched a satellite deep into the universe."
"This satellite is called Apollo. If it doesn't hit the meteorite belt, it can sail for two hundred years."
"On the Apollo, America's national anthem was recorded, as well as many human film and television materials... But what I'm curious about is, where did you get the second half of the America's national anthem?"
"According to records, only the first half of the national anthem was recorded on the Apollo."
In the context of the book, China, where Ye Wenjie lives, and the United States, where manned men landed on the moon, were sworn enemies at that time!
You will definitely not get the American national anthem in China!
As for what Ye Wenjie wrote in his letter, which he heard on the radio, the teacher did not agree with it at all.
No radio dares to play the American national anthem!
How?
Want to rebel?
The teacher's answer shocked Ye Wenjie.
She kept listening to that channel, and the strange thing was that the channel could only be received in that place, not anywhere else.
And it doesn’t happen every day.
After listening for thirty days, Ye Wenjie heard something.
"I receive your gift, humans."
Chapter 2 ends here.
Chief Editor Niu felt horrified!
Hear the thunder in silence!
He just felt like every cell was exploding!
"This is...the alien's answer!"
What shocked him was the tight logic of this book! The reality of world shaping!
Thinking of America from Blue Star, who also launched an Apollo rocket into the universe, his hair stood on end!
This is entirely possible!
"If the other party obtains the Apollo rocket, they can deduce from the materials how long the rocket has been traveling!"
"Then inversely deduce the level of human technology!"
“You can even deduce the route in reverse!”
"Then...they can find us!"
At this moment, his mood was extremely complicated.
surprise?
perturbed?
Not sure.
But excitement, excitement is for sure!
However.
If Chapter 2 is the beginning of the tsunami.
In the third chapter, he was blown up completely!
Because, an unknown alien sent a message.
"The universe is like a dark forest."
“Every civilization is a hunter with a gun.”
"They were initially unaware of each other's existence, but once they discovered each other, out of self-preservation, the most rational thing to do was to eliminate each other."
"because……"
A civilization cannot judge whether another civilization is a good civilization or an evil civilization
A civilization cannot judge whether another civilization thinks it is a good civilization or an evil civilization.
A civilization cannot determine whether another civilization will attack its own civilization.
A civilization cannot judge whether another civilization is benevolent or malicious toward itself.
"Fortunately, you met us."
"We decided to give you a gift."
"Fuck..." Chief Editor Niu closed the book suddenly.
Close your eyes, raise your head, and take a deep breath.
So shocking!
"There have been so many masters who... hoped to describe the true civilization of the universe, but no one could do it!"
"But...but!"
"Kong Fang actually did it!"
He knew it when he saw these lines.
Is such that.
This is how the universe originally works!
This is less than two hundred words, and it is like clearing the air!
"The great master of science fiction..." He opened the book tremblingly, feeling that he no longer had the previous contempt in his heart.
Only shock and admiration!
This young man.
This crossover science fiction writer.
He actually wrote a magical book!
But the next second, his heart tightened.
wrong……
Since that unknown civilization is so familiar with the rules of the universe, its technology must be on earth!
"They...are determining the coordinates of the earth!"
"Ye Wenjie was deceived! She... was leaking the coordinates of the earth!"
