Chapter 21: Er Liang (2)
According to reliable sources, the sales of Baowen Weekly may have exceeded 400,000 in just one day. Whether this news is true or not, it's enough to prove its popularity.
Actually, the other nineteen authors are also quite tragic. They are completely overshadowed by Su Tong's "The Death of a Landlord". Although there were twenty articles in the original "Best Novellas" issue, now it seems like only "The Death of a Landlord" exists. All the reviews and reports are about "The Death of a Landlord", which is really unfortunate.
Of course, it also has its benefits, as the names of these nineteen authors have successfully made more people aware of them.
The wave of sadness had been going on for a long time, and just when it was about to subside, an extremely unexpected person suddenly stood up and commented on this article.
This person is Naransifeng, a name with a poetic flair, but he's not a poet. Naransifeng is an expert in bioelectronics at Huaxia University and has a great reputation both domestically and internationally. Such a heavyweight figure surprisingly published an article in a magazine, expressing admiration for "The Heartbroken".
"I like reading science fiction, but I've never had a good impression of it. For ordinary readers, the author's imaginative and magnificent ideas about the future are fascinating, but for me, every time I read them, I can't help but pick out the mistakes, which makes it impossible for me to calm down."
Recently, two assistants in my lab have been discussing the same book - "The Wounded", which made me very interested. I read it too and was attracted by the protagonist He Xi's spirit of diligence, or more accurately, moved!
Apart from his mother, no one else understood him, but He Xi didn't give up and persisted. This reminds me of our group of people, in the minds of ordinary people, when it comes to researchers, the image that comes to mind is someone wearing a white coat holding tools dissecting small white mice, this image has become our fixed stereotype.
Some researchers study things that are of no use in this era, and at this time they have to face the fact that everyone does not understand, just like He Xi. At that time, his book "Micro-continuity Original" can be said to be useless, but 150 years later it became the basis for unifying the macro-universe. This is the surname of the times, and researchers are not all science freaks. Maybe we are all a group of people who are heartbroken on the road of science, just like He Xi.
This is the first time I've forgotten to look for mistakes and calmly read a science fiction novel from start to finish.
Of course, there is another point I want to add, micro-continuity is the foundation of time dimension tracing technology, and...
Behind this is a large pile of popular science knowledge. I estimate that among the hundred people who buy this newspaper, no more than five can understand it.
Although Nalan Xifeng made corrections to the overall theory at the end of the comment, the whole speech is a praise for the short story "The Sorrowful One".
This is amazing!
It's rare to know that Nalan Xifeng used to pick on various flaws in science fiction and was always critical, when did she ever praise something? This is absolutely a big girl getting married for the first time!
Even the Galaxy Awards of China have revealed that this time's Best Novelette and Best Novel may both be taken by one person, and who that person is doesn't even need to be thought about.
It was Nalan Xingde's comment that caused the sales of Bao Wen Weekly to skyrocket, with an additional 50,000 copies printed. Not enough? Continue! Another 50,000 copies were added!
Let "The Heartbroken" be popular for a while longer, let the trend be more intense!
Science fiction fans all want to take a look, even readers who are not interested in science fiction also want to see what kind of article can live up to the praise of Nalan Xue.
After watching it, I was moved by the great maternal love in "The Wounded" that is ordinary yet extraordinary, and inspired by He Xi's spirit of diligent study.
"Mom..." "....Mom" The cries of reunion after twenty years apart are so touching, so heart-wrenching!
Innumerable readers have called for Su Renshan to return to science fiction, and among them, the fans of "Hei Ke" are the most numerous. Alas, after finishing "Black Hacker Empire: Hacker's Mission", Su Renshan stopped writing and didn't produce a second installment, which has left many fans anxious and earned him the title of "King of Pit-digging" once again...
"Shu Chen, 'The Heartbroken' is well-written, it's the only work that can be praised by Nalan!" Chu Xing said over the phone. Science fiction is also one of Chu Xing's strong points, but his works have been criticized by Nalan Xi Feng, just like his recent work "Future Technology", which was harshly criticized by Nalan Xi Feng, who even declared that future technology would never reach the level described in it. So in this aspect, Shu Chen can be said to have surpassed Chu Xing a little bit.
"The Matrix series, 'Feed' and this one 'The Heartbroken'. Xi Chen, your science fiction writing is extremely good, unfortunately I've already decided to make this fantasy novel my last work, otherwise I really hope to have another science fiction showdown with you." Chu Xing's tone was filled with deep regret.
Su Shichen and Chu Xing had a chat on the phone, and Chu Xing's main purpose of calling Su Shichen was to remind him to write fantasy with all his might.
It's probably also because of "The Heartbroken" that Chu Xing is worried that Su Shicun will be distracted and won't be able to play at his best, but if Chu Xing knew that Su Shicun had serialized two more works on Luo Zhi, I wonder what expression he would have.
《Heartbroken》 is a storm in the real world, while 《Infinite Horror》 is not inferior at all. On the first day, 13 chapters were updated, and Infinite Horror spread throughout the literary circle like wildfire. The 25 chapters on the second day were like a heavy bomb, directly blasting a huge pit in the literary circle, especially with the style of Chu Da Xue!
……
"With my IQ of 220, if I couldn't infer these questions, then I would have truly lived in vain. Let me introduce myself again, Chu Xuan... Major General. Before coming here, I should have been at the Yanjing Longyin Military Base, as the second largest confidential military base in China, next only to the Longxing Military Base..."
"An IQ of 220?" As a seasoned reader, Shen Rong himself disliked the kind of high-IQ character often depicted in novels. Many authors, in order to make this high IQ stand out, would lower the IQs of the surrounding supporting characters to negative levels. The so-called "high and above others" high IQ was nothing more than that. This situation was extremely distasteful. So when Chu Xuan introduced himself, Shen Rong furrowed his brow. "Tian En's writing is a bit over-the-top."
Shen Rong's idea is nothing out of the ordinary, but if you read the whole article, you will find that Chu Da Xue's IQ cannot be measured by 220, and as the plot progresses, Chu Xuan slowly reveals his intelligence.
"In the human gene, from the most ancient single-celled organism gene to multicellular, fish, amphibians, and slowly evolving to the current human gene, everything is actually displayed on the genetic code. Do you know what appeared on the human genetic code over the past 120 years? I'll tell you, a lock appeared."
It's coming, the setting of infinite horror about strength, which is the setting of gene lock!
"Gene lock? Muddy coal, indeed something new!" This was Shen Rong's feeling as an old bookworm, a very direct feeling, the next thing would be extremely subversive, and he wholeheartedly threw himself into it. As Chu Xuan spoke, the gene lock was slowly explained clearly, and a brand new concept appeared before everyone.
"Dividing power with gene locks, this level of division is really... really..." Shen Rong couldn't find the words to describe it, "It's too novel, compared to those few levels or Sword Saint and so on, that kind of pale, just a renamed, mold-printed level division, it's too fresh, too interesting, too much!"
Shen Rong as an old bird has also seen a lot, most of the divisions of strength are roughly the same, either divided into first to ninth level or that kind of division with no real difference.
The hierarchy of the gene lock, stunned by this forceful hierarchy, is not just Shen Rong alone, many readers are also tight with chrysanthemum when they see this, a very strange feeling, okay, somewhat similar to being exploded chrysanthemum, but it's enough to prove the brilliance of the gene lock idea!
Shen Rong couldn't wait to continue reading, the next chapter... [...... Chu Xuan waved his hand and said: "It requires a substance similar to adrenaline, which can only be generated by the body itself. The most crucial point is that it is highly toxic. I think you should have heard of the story about an old lady who lifted a car with one hand and saved her grandson who was under the wheel? This is a true fact, but soon after, this old lady died. Scientists found an extremely small amount of this substance in her blood."...]
As Chu Xuan's revelation step by step, Shen Rong had a scalp-numbing feeling. According to the book's revelation, the main god space's function might actually be used as a tool for human evolution, which was indeed one ring after another.
The setup of the gene lock has been thrown out, and the truly wonderful content is just beginning. As the plot unfolds step by step, Chu Xuan's IQ is fully revealed, with that kind of layout ability and calm attitude, Shen Rong now starts to believe a little, this book's Chu Xuan really has an IQ of 220.
"What a pity, I said before that I will only abandon those who are useless to this team, just like a probability problem, he is an individual with too low a probability, and the test given to him was not passed. For Li Shuai Xi, I have already been very kind..."
……
"Depending on the situation, if your life is crucial to the mission, then any cost will be paid to save you. If saving you would put the entire team in danger, then you will be abandoned outright."
These two dialogues can completely reveal Chu Xuan's psychology. He thinks about everything in a comprehensive way, and for his approach of sacrificing his companions without hesitation for the greater good, it is really...
"He's so handsome!" Yes, no mistake, for Shen Rong, he not only won't feel annoyed by this behavior, but instead is very fond of it. Okay, Chu Xuan's charm is limitless, and another fan has been conquered.
"This Chu Xuan is really amazing, he actually managed to design a death trap for Li Shuai Xi, this kind of insight into human nature is truly terrifying!"
Is that all there is to Chu Da Xue's performance and the infinitely terrifying setting?
No, no, this is just the beginning!
