Chen Le didn't expect that he would encounter such a funny thing just when he went out to have a meal with Huyan Dabao.
“Hahahahahahaha!”
Do you have the capital to hire Huyan Dabao to snipe Chu Kuang
If it were Wei Zhou, any other science fiction writer might agree, even Chen Le himself might agree, but Huyan Dabao would never agree, because he is a die-hard fan of Chu Kuang!
The kind of veteran brain-dead fans!
The reason why Chen Le, a native of Weizhou, watched "Sherlock Holmes" was because of Huyan Dabao's strong recommendation!
In fact.
Long before Weizhou joined the merger, Huyan Dabo had already been reading Chu Kuang's novels, and even asked someone to go to Qinzhou to help him buy his works more than once.
Huyan Dabao has read all the works of Chu Kuang.
That’s right, all!
Even though many of Chu Kuang's fans don't dare to say that they have read all of Chu Kuang's novels, Huyan Dabao has read them all.
If this isn't a brain-dead fan, who else could it be
even…
Chen Le went out to eat with Huyan Dabao today because he told him that he had just watched Chu Kuang's "The Sad One".
This incident instantly touched Huyan Dabao's sore spot.
Huyan Dabao immediately asked Chen Le to come out, and in the hotel box they talked eloquently about Chu Kuang's recently released song "The Sad One", and the praise in his words was simply at the level of fanaticism.
After hanging up the phone.
Huyan Dabao rolled his eyes.
Chen Le finally stopped laughing: "Don't you want to compete with your idol?"
Huyan Dabo shook his head: "I won't fight with my idol. I'm still thinking about getting Chu Da's autograph if I have a chance."
"Yeah?"
Chen Le teased, “I think you may not win over Chu Kuang. Chu Kuang has his own understanding of science fiction.”
“That depends on how you understand it.”
Huyan Dabo said, "If we compare whose sci-fi is more hardcore, then I am not inferior, but the criterion for judging the quality of sci-fi novels is not the number of sci-fi elements. In terms of storytelling ability, I am not even worthy of carrying Chu Kuang's shoes. You still know too little about him. If you have read more of his works, you will definitely understand what I am talking about."
Speaking of this.
Huyan Dabo showed a trace of yearning on his face: "Compared to competing with my idol, I would rather communicate with him and share with him some of my personal experience in writing science fiction novels. Unfortunately, he is too mysterious. I have asked many friends to help me, but I still can't contact him. It's really a pity."
Chen Le: “…”
I thought the same thing before watching The Heartbreakers.
Huyan Dabo's eyes turned expectant: "I wonder how wonderful Chu Da's new work will be."
This brain-dead fan.
Chen Le was too tired to complain.
But isn’t Chen Le also looking forward to it
Chen Le was not looking forward to Chu Kuang's science fiction novel. He was more looking forward to the story Chu Kuang would create. Whether it was science fiction or not was not important at all.
Anyway, he didn't expect the other person, who was new to science fiction, to be able to write such a hardcore science fiction.
Do we really only consider the hardcore level
There is no need for a writer of Huyan Dabao's caliber to take action.
Even if I can write more "professionally" than Chu Kuang.
…
The tribe returned empty handed.
Chu Kuang’s new short story will be published on the blog tomorrow, and they simply can’t find any other suitable candidate in such a short time.
This "sniping" ended in vain.
When the next day came, Chu Kuang's fans had already begun to look forward to eight o'clock in the evening.
Weizhou.
Huyan Dabo was also looking forward to it, and invited Chen Le to his home: "Let's watch Chu Kuang's new work together tonight."
"OK."
Chen Le agreed.
If Chu Kuang tortures her to death again, at least she will have someone to keep her company while she cries.
Yes.
After his good friend Huyan Dabao’s introduction, Chen Le already knew Chu Kuang’s writing style.
It is said that this person likes to write some cruel plots, and likes to give lunch boxes to the protagonists when he has nothing to do!
Not to mention the far ones.
In the "Sherlock Holmes" that Chen Le has seen, there is a plot where Holmes and his enemy "die together".
This shows how hateful the old thief is.
Although Holmes was later resurrected, the plot still left a shadow in Chen Le's heart.
And in the chat between the two.
The pointer finally pointed to eight o'clock.
Huyan Dabo immediately posted on his blog and excitedly said to Chen Le:
“It’s coming out!”
“Yes.”
Chen Le looked at Chu Kuang’s blog. There was a new novel called “Wandering Blue Star” under his personal works. Apart from that, there were no other special updates. It seemed that he wanted to leave the right to speak to the readers
No more small talk.
They each held their phones, opened the article and started reading.
at the same time.
The netizens gathered under Chu Kuang's blog account also clicked on it immediately.
…
About 23,000 words of content.
Even at the slowest reading speed, you can finish reading it in about an hour.
In a room for two people.
Chen Le had only been reading for less than ten minutes when his expression gradually became serious.
beside.
Huyan Dabao's eyes lit up and his heart was filled with excitement.
"Interesting, interesting!"
"Wandering the starry sky with Blue Star?"
“Very constructive idea!”
“Even the specific plan is described!”
“This is a very bold setting.”
“It feels very epic!”
"It's just that the character development part was cut too much."
As the two of them read, they would occasionally exchange a few words, but their eyes never left the page they were reading, and as they read more deeply, they chatted less and less.
Braking era.
The era of escape.
Wandering era.
The novel is divided into three parts. The protagonist, in the first-person perspective of "I", witnesses the years and experiences the wanderings and changes of the Blue Planet.
Wandering Blue Star!
This is undoubtedly a mind-blowing idea.
When the environment of the blue planet in the future becomes really unsuitable for human survival, the first solution that many people think of is actually to build a spaceship to lead humans into space.
This is also mentioned in the novel.
The Blue Star people were divided into two factions.
One of the factions is building a spaceship and running away.
The other faction is the supporters of the Wandering Blue Star Project.
The two factions were once incompatible, but in the end the coalition government chose the plan to wander the Blue Planet.
Because the spacecraft's capacity is limited, not many people can be taken aboard. At the same time, the ecological resources and fuel in the spacecraft are not enough to support humans flying to a more habitable planet.
Besides.
If it really comes to that, who should board the spaceship to escape and who should stay on the Blue Planet
With limited spacecraft.
The turmoil within humanity is probably beyond the imagination of all scientists. Perhaps this is the decisive reason why the spacecraft faction lost.
In the novel.
After going through many hardships, humans finally succeeded in wandering around the blue planet and escaped from the sun that scientists said would explode at any time.
However.
At this time, someone discovered:
The image of the sun four centuries ago is exactly the same as the image of the sun we see today.
Luminosity!
Pixel arrangement!
Pixel probability!
Hierarchical statistics!
All parameters are exactly the same!
The blue planet was still wandering in the starry sky, but this terrible rumor spread around the world like wildfire. More and more people spontaneously used larger and more sophisticated instruments to observe the sun. Later, a non-governmental organization launched a group of probes to the sun. These probes passed through the heliosphere three months later, and the data sent back finally confirmed the fact.
Compared to four centuries ago:
The sun really hasn't changed at all!
"Citizens! Blue Planet has been betrayed! Humanity has been betrayed! Civilization has been betrayed!
We are all victims of this scam!
The sun is still the same sun. It will not explode, not in the past, not now, and not in the future. It is a symbol of eternity!
What erupted was the sinister ambition of those in the coalition government! They fabricated all this just to establish their ruling empire!
They destroyed Blue Star!
They destroyed human civilization!
Citizens, citizens with conscience! Take up arms, save our planet! Save human civilization! We must overthrow the United Government to control the Blue Star Engine, and drive our planet back to its original orbit from this cold outer space! Drive it back to the warm embrace of our sun!"
The coalition government has lost its credibility.
The rebellion broke out like wildfire!
Wherever the rebels go, the people of Blue Star respond!
We all deeply believe that:
All this is a conspiracy of the coalition government. The sun is a symbol of eternity and will never explode!
The rebels won.
They rushed into the cab of Blue Star.
There were still more than 5,000 people guarding the cab, but they eventually chose to surrender:
"We could have fought to the end, but this might have caused the Blue Star engine to go out of control. Once this happened, the excess fusion matter would burn through the Blue Star or evaporate all the oceans, so we decided to surrender. We understand everyone, because in the difficult struggle that has been going on for forty generations and will continue for another hundred generations, it is indeed a luxury to always remain rational. But please also remember us, the more than 5,000 people standing here, including the highest governor of the coalition government and ordinary privates. It is us who have persisted in our beliefs to the end. We all know that we will not see the day when the truth is confirmed, but if mankind can continue for thousands of generations, everyone will shed their tears in front of our graves in the future. This planet called Blue Star is our eternal monument!"
These more than 5,000 people were escorted out of the cab.
During the escort, "I" saw a little girl picking up a large piece of ice and smashing it at an old man with all her strength. Her eyes shot out crazy anger through the mask.
The execution plan is out!
The rebels took away the nuclear batteries used to heat the sealed suits of every person sentenced to death, and then threw them onto the ice of the sea, letting the severe cold of minus 100 degrees slowly take their lives.
at this time.
These most sinister and shameful criminals in the history of human civilization stood in a black mass on the icy sea.
On the shore.
Including "me", there were hundreds of thousands of people watching them, hundreds of thousands of pairs of teeth were gritting, and hundreds of thousands of eyes were spewing the same anger as that little girl.
My sun!
Mother of life!
Father of all things!
Is there anything more stable than you, is there anything more eternal than you? We are tiny, carbon-based bacteria that are not even as big as dust, crowded on a small stone that revolves around you, and yet we dare to predict your doomsday. How could we be so stupid!
Humanity is repenting!
An hour passed.
Although all the anti-human criminals on the sea were still standing, not a single one of them was alive and their blood had been frozen.
Humans began to cheer.
Everyone, including "I", sang the hymn "My Sun" loudly, which carried people's eternal worship of the sun.
Sudden.
Human eyes suddenly became blind.
After a few seconds, everyone's vision gradually recovered.
The ice field, the coast and the people on the shore slowly appeared before my eyes, and finally became completely clear, and clearer than before.
Because the world is now shrouded in an intense white light.
The blindness of human eyes just now was due to the stimulation of this sudden strong light.
The starry sky did not reappear.
All the starlight was drowned by this strong light, as if the entire universe was melted by the strong light.
This strong light burst out from a point in space, and that point has now become the center of the universe. That point is in the direction that everyone was just staring at.
The direction of the sun.
The solar helium flash occurred.
All the choruses came to an abrupt halt, and the hundreds of thousands of people on the shore were stunned, as if they had been frozen into hard rocks like those people on the sea.
The sun shed its light and heat on the blue planet for the last time.
The frozen carbon dioxide dry ice on the ground melted first, and a burst of white steam rose up. The surface of the sea ice began to melt, and the unevenly heated sea ice made a loud earth-shaking noise...
In this sudden bright sunshine.
The last Blue Star members on the sea are still standing firmly.
It's like more than five thousand statues.
Two hours later, a dark red sphere appeared in the position of the sun. Its volume slowly expanded. Its magnificent life of five billion years had become a fleeting dream...
No more light and heat.
At this time, the sun looked like a cold red paper stuck in space from a distance. Its dark red light seemed to be the scattering of the surrounding starlight. This was the fate of the evolution of low-mass stars:
Red giant star.
The sun is dead.
Fortunately, some people are still alive.
At this moment, Huyan Dabao opened his mouth in shock and did not close it for a long time.
And beside Huyan Dabao.
When Chen Le saw the last sentence "My Sun" at a similar time, he suddenly let out a long sigh.
"Is it hard?"
"Very hard."
"Are you still confident that you can beat him in the professional field?"
"How can fans be more powerful than idols? If fans are more powerful than idols, then why do we need to read idols' books?"
Damn the Horde!
Want to kill your father!
Huyan Dabao felt guilty.
Of course, "The Wandering Earth" is not Liu Cixin's most effective work, but its quality and completion are absolutely extremely high, and it does not lose its luster even when placed in the ranks of Wei Zhou's science fiction works.
Besides, don’t forget!
This is just a work that Chu Kuang casually posted on his blog, and it is also Chu Kuang's first truly hard science fiction.
Huyan Dabao knows Chu Kuang too well!
Judging from Chu Kuang's style of doing things, it seems that he has only tried his hand in the field of science fiction so far!

ps: The introductory work of Liu Cixin’s science fiction should be "Once Upon a Time in the Cretaceous" or "The Rural Teacher". Keep writing.
