Of course, while expressing his defeat to Chu Kuang through his blog, Ye Cong did not forget to carry forward the glorious tradition started by another science fiction writer, Chen Shi, and solemnly recommended The Three-Body Problem to his fans:
“Everyone is welcome to read this sci-fi masterpiece.”
"This book is divided into three parts. The first part is a bit bland compared to the latter two, but overall it is very good. Teacher Chu Kuang naturally combines science fiction, history and other elements to form a good-looking and serious story. It is great to be able to do such a good job."
“The second part is even more exciting. The story in the early stage of the Crisis Era is great. The most important thing is that the two plots of Luo Ji’s desperate counterattack and Zhang Beihai’s escape from Xinghe are truly magnificent.”
“I feel the third part is too bleak.”
"In front of the universe, everything is so insignificant, but this is also a science fiction writer's view of the universe, which I personally like very much."
"If you want to talk about cruelty, humans have always been cruel."
“For example, we can’t have bad intentions towards ants, but if we want to build a canal or dig a foundation, who would take it into consideration?”
"If you were an ant or a bird right now, and I told you about the Dark Forest Theory, you would definitely have a deep understanding of it. This is the state of The Dark Forest, and it is also the reasonable and fascinating part of The Three-Body Problem."
Yes.
Chen Shi started the unspoken rule that the loser of a literary competition would recommend the winner's work to the outside world.
Ye Cong silently abided by and inherited this unspoken rule, and recommended the Three-Body series of novels to the public in a very ethical manner, and also expressed some of his own views on the novel.
…
And at this time.
It has been nearly a week since the release of "The Three-Body Problem".
Almost everyone who needs to read this book has finished reading it, and a huge Three-Body fever has swept the world!
In the novel.
Many classic quotes have become popular!
Survival is something that needs to be fought for, when did it become taken for granted
Give life to time and give civilization to years.
We are all bugs in the gutter, but someone has to look up at the stars.
Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is.
The monument is so small that it seems more like a memorial than a memorial.
What does it have to do with you if I destroy you
The Lord doesn’t care!
The city is a forest, every man is a hunter, and every woman is a trap.
The world that will destroy human tyranny belongs to the Three Body!
Every word, every phrase, and every sentence in the novel seems to have been picked out by crazy people.
Break it apart, mash it up, and then exclaim “wonderful!”
This is the treatment that often happens when a work becomes popular!
Many people haven't even read the novel, but they put a sentence that sounds quite pretentious in their WeChat Moments signature.
certainly.
Everyone who has seen it is full of praise.
Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei and Zhongzhou netizens were all excited:
“This book is amazing!”
"Blindly guessing that the old thief writer's ranking will rise again!"
"Damn, didn't it just swell?"
"This is not a matter of salary increase. This is the treatment you should get after writing a masterpiece that becomes a global hit."
“That’s true.”
"I am a person who doesn't read science fiction, but I enjoyed reading The Three-Body Problem. Maybe I will never read science fiction again in my life, because what I like is not science fiction at all, but Chu Kuang's novels."
“Have you checked the sales statistics?”
"It is said that The Three-Body Problem has set a record for single-day and weekly sales in the science fiction category."
“Even crazier than the original Galactic Empire series!”
"Now Chu Kuang has truly become the king of science fiction!"
…
The other side.
Science fiction circle.
Many writers who originally disliked Chu Kuang remained silent.
This silence lasted for many days.
Seeing that The Three-Body Problem had become a global hit, the silence could no longer continue.
"Admit it."
"The new king of science fiction is born."
"From now on, Chu Kuang will be the flag bearer of Blue Star Science Fiction."
"He is the No. 1 sci-fi writer and ranked eighth in the world. He may even be ranked seventh next month. This is good for sci-fi."
"Is anyone dissatisfied?"
"Who dares not to obey?"
"No one can stop this monster."
"There is only one opponent in the world who is this terrifying."
"yes."
"How can there be such a person in the world?"
"Look at how sad you are. Isn't it because Chu Kuang didn't take you seriously before? Think about it carefully. Do you usually take the novice writers in the science fiction circle seriously?"
“That’s true.”
"When the gap in levels is too big, even if someone's attitude is normal, we feel like they look down on us."
"I give in. I admit defeat!"
No one in the entire science fiction circle is complaining anymore, and even the most stubborn people have admitted defeat.
Then a strange scene happened:
Many science fiction writers who had previously openly expressed their ambiguity seemed to have changed their faces at this moment, and were smiling and running to the blogs to congratulate him.
In addition to "congratulations", the key words were constantly mentioned -
The first person in science fiction.
Lin Yuan didn't have any special feelings about this.
He basically doesn't remember who had a good impression of him or who was dissatisfied with him before, and he only knows a few active familiar faces.
…
It's not just the evaluations from all sides.
The Three-Body Problem has also had some profound cultural impacts.
This day.
The ninth day after The Three-Body Problem became a global hit.
An online writer used "The Workplace is a Dark Forest" as the theoretical basis to create a popular article with an extremely high readership.
This article combines the Three-Body Dark Forest Theory with the workplace, touching the hearts of countless readers!
Immediately following.
Many public accounts and other platforms have followed suit, and there are more and more similar articles.
One of the articles imitates the format very well, called "The Application of Dimensionality Reduction Attack in Entrepreneurship".
Is entrepreneurship related to Erxiang Foil
This is a profound reflection of the writer's ability to talk nonsense.
What’s even more outrageous is that many Internet practitioners particularly admire the jungle law-style setting of “The Dark Forest”.
Some Internet celebrities even take it as a guide to reality.
In fact.
It's all for the sake of popularity.
These capitalists already had similar views.
What's this Dark Forest dimensionality reduction attack? They are just using Chu Kuang's power to talk about their own business.
And this phenomenon happened too much.
Major media outlets reported:
"The Three-Body Phenomenon is sweeping the global commercial, financial and Internet circles!"
"Is this a science fiction novel or a guide to entrepreneurship?"
"Dimensionality reduction strike has become the hottest word nowadays!"
"The Dark Forest Theory has been praised and affirmed by many capital giants!"
"Chu Kuang, a man who looks more like an alien than the Trisolarans!"
"Colleague writers collectively congratulate Chu Kuang for taking the top spot in science fiction!"
《Science fiction writers around the world are convinced!》
"Experts predict that the ranking of Chu Kuang writers will continue to rise!"
All right.
Lin Yuan was most concerned about the last piece of news.
After hearing so much flattery, he just wants something real.
Now I am ranked eighth among writers, so it shouldn't be easy to continue to improve.
But...
Considering that "The Three-Body Problem" is so popular that it even triggered the Three-Body phenomenon, it seems that it is not impossible for it to rise to the seventh place
