When Chen Qing told Zhang Zhong that Schubert had published an article criticizing "The Three-Body Problem", Zhang Zhong did not react for a moment. He had a good memory, but he would not take people like Schubert to heart every day.
"It's the American critic Schubert. When "Dune" was released last time, didn't he also publish an article criticizing it? He also said that "Dune" is not a science fiction novel." Chen Qing explained.
"Oh, it's him." Zhang Zhong remembered it, and then asked doubtfully, "He knows Chinese? Didn't Three-Body only release the Chinese version?"
Chen Qing said, "I don't know. Anyway, I published an article. I also read the article. It makes no sense, but it actually has many fans."
"It's not surprising. He is also a celebrity. There must be people who support him. Besides, even if no one supports him, there should be people who have opinions about me." Zhang Zhong said.
"Do we want to respond?" Chen Qing asked.
"Don't respond yet. He's not an important person. I'll go see what he said first."
It happened that Zhang Zhong had just finished taking a shower and had nothing to do, so he was going to see what Schubert said.
"Well, I've already sent you the link. I'm just worried that readers in the United States won't know the specific situation and will listen to Schubert's nonsense, which will affect the sales of new books."
"Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone from Chen Qing, Zhang Zhong opened his phone, found the link sent by Chen Qing, and clicked on it.
After reading it, Zhang Zhong felt a little emotional. Let's not talk about anything else. As a critic, Schubert is completely qualified. At least he can make his own theory very confusing.
What impressed Zhang Zhong the most was that in order to refute "The Three-Body Problem", Schubert gave an example: a human used a telescope to discover a new type of ant nest 100 meters away from his home. It is impossible that the first thing he thought of was the
He is threatened. First of all, he is curious about what this new type of ant [Doudou Novel www.doudouxs.cn] is like. He may spend some time and means to get some for research. When the research produces certain results, if it is determined that this type of ant is
If they are harmless to humans, then they will probably be given up and ignored. If it is certain that they threaten our own civilization, then it is possible to spend resources and time to kill them. But this possibility is almost impossible.
There are indeed some people in the comments below who think that Schubert is right because of this example. They think that advanced civilizations will not do such boring and thankless things.
[Ah, so the new book is so boring? Is it the kind of book that forcibly creates a conflict of civilizations for the sake of the plot? 】
【You are right, we are not animals.】
[I haven’t read the new book, but after reading this review, I think I’m not too interested in the new book.]
[I heard that there are no science fiction scenes in this book, and many stories even take place in China in the 1980s. Is this true? 】
…
Zhang Zhong felt that there was nothing interesting to see and was about to close the page, but the system prompted that Schubert had a new dynamic update.
I clicked on it and it turned out to be about "The Three-Body Problem" again.
"We have previously discussed pz's groundless speculations about extraterrestrial civilization in "The Three-Body Problem". This time we will talk about the story of the novel itself. In the novel, there is a woman named Ye who is very important. She is the first
The human being who discovered the Trisolaran civilization, but it was she who exposed the location of Starfish, and even actively cooperated with the Trisolaran civilization to invade Starfish. It is hard to imagine what kind of person this Ye is, and why she can do such a thing...
"
After reading Schubert's new news, Zhang Zhong scratched his head. Does this Schubert have a split personality? Didn't he say before that extraterrestrial civilizations would not pose a threat to starfish? Why is he suing Ye Wenjie again now?
According to the theory expressed in Schubert's previous article, he should very much agree with Ye Wenjie's approach. After all, it is a great good thing to actively contact extraterrestrial civilizations and let kind-hearted extraterrestrial civilizations help us.
What Schubert should accuse is Wang Miao and others who stopped Ye Wenjie.
Isn't he inconsistent?
Zhang Zhong has been able to determine that this guy has not read at all. It is estimated that the things he wrote were written after hearing what others said, or simply were written by others and then he posted them.
Shaking his head, Zhang Zhong no longer had any interest in Schubert.
After exiting Schubert's homepage, Zhang Zhong touched his hair that was not yet dry, and started browsing online.
He saw a hot news item on Weiyu's homepage, which made him raise his eyebrows.
“Scientists receive massive shape signals”
Such a coincidence?
Zhang Zhong hurriedly clicked in.
The article said that one day in 2018, China's Cosmic Super Telescope received an unexpected suspicious signal four light years away.
After much consideration, the relevant departments decided not to miss this golden opportunity, so they sent an information package containing an overview of the starfish.
A few days later, radio bases around the world received tens of thousands of cosmic signals at the same time, all coming from the same direction 6500 to 10000 light years away from the earth.
…
The more Zhang Zhong read this article, the more he felt something was wrong. Such a big thing happened in 2018. How could it be possible that there was no news before and now it suddenly came out.
However, the article is well-written, sharp, and serious.
Then look down.
After the Starfish countries received the signal, they felt the danger. Each country was studying how to escape and organized tens of thousands of scientists to decipher these signals.
When he saw this, Zhang Zhong was sure that this was made up.
But there wasn't much left of the article, so he finished reading it.
After reading it, Zhang Zhong almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
"The alien message was finally deciphered. Researchers from all over the world stared at the screen nervously. The program showed that tens of thousands of alien messages were all the same message. As the computer was cracked, a line of words was clearly displayed on the screen. Humanity
Finally, for the first time, I read a message from another world in the universe: How much are the house prices there?"
Damn it!
Zhang Zhong looked at the person who wrote this article. His name was Jinling Luxury House Expert and he was a real estate editor.
At the end of the article, it is also marked that the article is purely fictional.
"Are all real estate editors today so wild?" Zhang Zhong lamented.
The key is that Weiyu official website actually posted such an article on Hot Topics without indicating that it was an advertisement.
Zhang Zhong even wondered whether this editor named Jinling Luxury House Expert paid Weiyu promotion fees.
There are also a lot of people criticizing below the article.
[It’s a pity that this editor doesn’t write novels. Hurry up and resign and write novels. You will definitely be the second person in China to win the Nebula Award.]
[Editor Sima, consuming my feelings, I almost thought the end of the world was coming and was ready to spend all my money.]
[A good hand at rubbing off the heat.]
[md, there have been two waves of popularity at once. Tianyan has just released an announcement, and Zhang Zhong has released a new book. Your article is sandwiched between these two hot topics. 】
[What announcement did Tianyan make?]
[It is said that it has received a signal from the universe.]
[The thing is like this, just now Tianyan made an announcement saying that the radio had received a suspicious cosmic signal, and the analysis results pointed out that the signal source was located more than 1,300 light-years away.]
