Rebirth of the Wild Age

"I don't understand why there are so many ‘ball rapes’."

"There are so many traitors in the War of Resistance, what a normal thing."

"Have you noticed? Most of the'ball rapes' are Chinese. This book perfectly shows the Chinese people's inferiority."

"A lot of nonsense, go to Nima's inferiority. The Pacific has no cover, swim over by yourself, the people over there are all magnificent."

"Foul-mouthed, you are the representative of the Chinese people's inferiority!"

"Don't make a noise, read a book and make a hammer."

"I think that the Salvation and Adventists are not the mainstream. The surviving faction will be the largest number in the future. For ordinary people, life is very sad now. Who can manage the alien attack hundreds of years later? ?"

"Well, I don't read much, what exactly is Nano? Is it a technology compiled by the author, or is there really on earth?"

"Of course there is. The United States is already equipped with nanotechnology, and China is also in the process of research and development. A buddy of mine works at the nano military research and development base."

"My uncle is still the president!"

"I found a problem. The author said that the Trisolaran is four light-years away from the earth, and the maximum speed of the Trisolaran is one-tenth the speed of light. It should only take 40 earth years to reach the earth. Why is it 450 years? Is it because the author's math is too bad and the calculation is wrong."

"I can answer this question. My 100-meter run time is 12.5 seconds, so I can run 8 meters per second, 691 kilometers per day. The straight-line distance between Beijing and Shenghai is about 1,000 kilometers, less than a day and a half. In time, I can run from Beijing to Shenghai. Excuse me, have I made a calculation error?"

"Friends who finish running in Beijing and Shanghai in a day and a half are awesome."

Stone chat rooms were the hottest in 1997, but each chat room had only 20 or 30 people online at the same time. The total number of chat rooms barely surpassed a hundred-which is not as good as a QQ group in the future.

The main reason is that the current Internet fee is too expensive, and many people go offline after chatting for a while. Those who can fill the water all day are the local tyrants.

With the power of "Three-body", Sohu's single chat room has more than 100 people online at the same time, and it has reached the maximum number of people. Zhang Chaoyang had to adjust the maximum number to 200 people. Even so, when it comes to the fixed update time of "Three Body", the 200-person limit is still not enough, and many readers are stuck outside.

As for normal times, the number of people online at the same time in a single Sohu chat room is still more than 50. This year can be said to be a mess.

The popularity of chat rooms has also greatly increased Sohu's traffic, with an average of 60,000 visitors per day. Many netizens are tired of chatting, so they browse Sohu's webpage to watch various news and technical content.

With more and more updated content of "Three Body", the scattered chapters posted in the chat room were not easy to read, so this book was moved to Sohu.com. Zhang Chaoyang asked people to create a special section called "Wuwen Nongmo", but any interesting articles published in the chat room will be moved to the "Wuwen Nongmo" section of Sohu.com the next day.

This greatly stimulated the creative enthusiasm of netizens. Many people began to post original articles in chat rooms, still focusing on poetry, prose and short articles, but some people started to publish long articles.

Among the best, there are three people——

Ning Caishen: Specializing in writing ghost stories.

Li Xunhuan: Mass-produced poetry prose.

Xing Yusen: The main short story.

These three, together with Song Weiyang's "Zenith Stars", are hailed as the "Four Kings of Internet Literature" by good people.

At eleven o'clock at night.

There are only a few people online in this chat room. Lin Zhuoyun is staying in the graduate dormitory tonight, and Song Weiyang can chat and spend time in the middle of the night.

Li Xunhuan: "I'm going offline. I will defend my thesis tomorrow."

Zenith Star: "You haven't graduated yet?"

Li Xunhuan: "I will soon graduate."

Zenith Star: "What do you plan to do after graduation?"

Li Xunhuan: "I have entered a real estate company and have signed a contract."

Xing Yusen: "Do you do real estate sales?"

Li Xunhuan: "I am studying economics, so I don't have to be on the front line of sales..."

Zenith Star: "This year has been the worst year for the real estate industry since the 1992 Southern Tour. Dude, take care."

Ning Caishen: "Leave a mailbox with each other. If you have trouble working in the future, you can come to Beijing to mix with me. By the way, I work in securities, and it fits well with your economics major."

Li Xunhuan: "Thanks. My name is Lu Jinbo, this is my email address..."

Song Weiyang was not very familiar with the early Internet. After seeing Lu Jinbo's name, he finally knew who this person was. Behind the scenes of Han Han, Baby Annie, Murong Xuecun and others, general manager of "Under the Banyan Tree", a very successful cultural businessman.

As for that Xing Yusen, everyone's first reaction may be Xing catches the head. The real identity of this person is a PhD in Information Engineering from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. Later, he became a screenwriter. The film and television works that participated in the screenwriting included "Sister Ma", "A Family in the Northeast", the first two parts of "Family with Children", "Urban Men and Women" and so on.

Li Xunhuan: "Goodbye, everyone, I may disappear for a while. Graduation is a bit messy, and I have to change my life in the city. Goodbye!"

After Li Xunhuan went offline, Ning Caishen suddenly asked, "My Zenith Star, what do you do?"

Zenith Star: "Student."

Xing Yusen: "Zenith Stars must have studied physics, and they are very high-end physics, celestial mechanics, quantum mechanics and other things, otherwise it would be impossible to write works like "Three Body"."

Zenith Star: "Haha."

Ning Caishen: "Why did I see someone in the chat room a few days ago saying that "Three Body" is Song Weiyang's work."

Xing Yusen: "Who is Song Weiyang?"

Ning Caishen: "Cao, you don't usually read newspapers?"

Xing Yusen: "Well, I think of it, it seems like the boss of Xifeng Company."

Zenith Star: "Lao Ning, are you interested in going to Thailand? It seems quite lively there."

Ning Caishen: "Forget it, I'm just a kid, how can I be qualified to play with the capital giant? Don't change the subject, you really are Song Weiyang?"

Zenith Star: "Can Song Weiyang be so free with me?"

Ning Caishen: "That's right."

Zenith Star: "I'm offline, goodbye."

Over time, "Three-Body" has gone from the Internet to reality.

The first is a professional computer magazine, which reported the rise of online literature. Then came the mass media, which reported online literature as a novelty, and gave it a lofty meaning: the Internet is changing the way and means of literary creation.

This is a very novel thing for netizens and ordinary people.

In the mid-1990s, people who wanted to publish articles had to contribute to newspapers and magazines. A magazine with a slightly larger sales volume receives hundreds of thousands of manuscripts every month, and most of the manuscripts accepted by the editor are old authors' manuscripts. The probability of newcomers being able to publish works is about the same as winning the lottery.

Now that you can publish articles on the Internet, how can you not make people feel excited?

The demonstrative effect brought by "Three Body" has made online literature "prosperous" quickly. Netizens have a pure purpose, not to make money, but to express their literary desires. Others are also very supportive, even the sour prose written by Li Xunhuan can usher in unanimous praise.

The reason is that you can be a reader on the Internet, you can communicate with the author, you can make impromptu comments in the chat room, and you can meet so many like-minded people-this is unmatched by reading paper books.

In the summer of 1997, the number of Chinese Internet users exceeded 200,000, and Internet cafes (early Internet cafes) spread to inland cities.

What can these people do online?

It is nothing more than browsing information and chatting, MUD (text online games) are just beginning to become popular. Creating and reading online literature has suddenly become an important content for people to surf the Internet. If you haven't read "Three Body", you don't deserve to call yourself an Internet user!

That was the originator of Chinese internet literature, and it was touted to the sky every minute.

This is often the case in Internet cafes: "Yeah, you are also surfing the Internet. Have you seen "Three Body"? What? Haven't seen it? Then you are too late to keep up with the trend. Let me tell you, "Three "Body" is particularly awesome, the author is a PhD in astrophysics...hurry up and take a look, don’t look ashamed!"

"Science Fiction King" didn't say hello, so he directly serialized "Three-Body".

The editor-in-chief of "Sci-Fi World" Yang Xiao immediately called Song Weiyang to get the exclusive rights to serialize "Three-Body".

After the two parties communicated, Song Weiyang agreed, provided that the author's information should not be disclosed.

"Sci-Fi World" began serializing "Three-Body" in mid-June and warned its competitors: "The King of Science Fiction has not contacted the author and has not been authorized by the author. Please stop serializing "Three-Body" immediately."

The battle between the two magazines immediately aroused the interest of science fiction fans, and therefore they knew what online literature is.

There are even old sci-fi fans with gray hair. In order to keep up with the update, they ran to the Internet cafe on crutches and learned how to surf the Internet from scratch.

There is also an online literature circle in the United States. Fang Kangzi, known as one of the "Eight Masters of Internet Literature", began to serialize "Three Body" in "New Threads" (an online publication). The readers of "New Threads" are mainly foreign students, both from mainland China and Wanwan. These high-level intellectuals were popularized by the "Three-Body" within minutes, and then spread to Wanwan as a matter of course.

In the Internet circles of the entire Chinese world, "Three-Body" is almost unknown to everyone.

One day ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Xiao Ma suddenly called Song Weiyang: "Old Song, I found a science fiction called "Three Body", which is very powerful! I can say that this is the pinnacle of Chinese science fiction. It’s a top work in the world."

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Then I have to pay attention to it."

Xiao Ma is a veteran science fiction fan. His childhood dream was to be an astronomer. When he was in junior high school, he had an astronomical telescope, which was equivalent to his father's four-month salary, and his parents would not buy it. Xiao Ma wrote in his diary: "Parents killed an astronomer's dream."

With this telescope, Xiao Ma, who was still in junior high school, became the first local person to see Halley's Comet. He also wrote an observation report and submitted it to the capital, earning 40 yuan in manuscript fees.

Xiao Ma said: "I really want to get to know the author of "Three-Body", it's amazing!"

Song Weiyang said: "I wrote it, do you believe it?"

Xiao Ma smiled and said, "I don't believe it."

Song Weiyang said: "It was indeed not written by me."
