Although the marketing article made Zhang Zhong vomit blood, Zhang Zhong also saw another news, that is, the news that the Sky Eye received signals from the universe.
In fact, the suspicious signal was discovered by the Sky Eye before, but it happened to be announced to the public in the past two days. Because of the emergence of "Three Body", this news made ordinary people pay special attention.
This was not over yet. On the second day of the incident, the famous physicist Yang Fan issued a statement suggesting that radio telescopes that can monitor cosmic signals should not answer any suspicious signals. Do not expose the existence of humans without understanding the other party's intentions.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence or Yang Fan’s intention, but the words “don’t answer” happened to appear in his statement.
For a time, netizens linked Yang Fan's remarks to "The Three-Body Problem".
[Let me go, is Mr. Yang Fan promoting Zhang Zhong’s new book? 】
[Yes, Tianyan is promoting with Yang Fan? 】
[The two upstairs are enough. This is purely a coincidence.]
[The coincidence also proves the influence of "The Three-Body Problem". 】
[It’s right not to answer. Yang Fan also made it very clear that human existence cannot be exposed without understanding the other party’s intentions.]
[Yes, the source of this signal is so close to us. If there really is an advanced civilization, we might be blamed. 】
[Didn’t Schubert say that advanced civilizations are reasonable and will not infringe on us, and may even help us?]
[This guy is a waste. He probably forgot about the consequences of Columbus's discovery of the American continent. 】
[It’s not that he forgot, it’s that he doesn’t want to remember at all. After all, the land he is stepping on now has the blood of the indigenous people.]
[According to what he said, Columbus should not belong to civilization...]
[Biquge5200 www.bqg5200.biz]【What an idealist.】
[The ant example he gave almost made me laugh to death. The most ridiculous thing is that many people think he is right.]
[Ant: mmp, I was living well. 】
[This is what Schubert is like, and it’s not the first time.]
[I have a newbie here. According to the boss upstairs, this Schubert is quite popular? Can you tell me in detail? 】
[He is not very popular, but Zhang Zhong’s old fans all know about him because of the previous "Dune" incident. 】
【What's going on?】
[This is what happened...]
…
The sales volume of "The Three-Body Problem" is very high. Although it is not as good as the first-day sales of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" in China, which sold 5.8 million copies, it still sold 4.6 million copies on the first day.
.
Someone said before that it was unwise for Zhang Zhong to choose to publish another science fiction novel at this time. "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" has been on sale for less than a month, and there is no new book issue yet, so many people have not bought it yet.
Moreover, this book is now gaining momentum. If it can boost its sales at once, it may be able to surpass "Dune" in one fell swoop, and even surpass "Necromancer 8" within this year.
Now another book "The Three-Body Problem" has been released, which may affect the sales of "The Bionic Man".
But in fact, the release of "The Three-Body Problem" not only did not cause the sales of "The Bionic Man" to decline, it actually made the "Bionic Man" which had started to weaken, gain momentum again.
Originally, after such a long time, the global daily sales of "The Bionic Man" had dropped to more than 700,000 copies. After the release of "The Three-Body Problem", it had returned to more than one million copies, and the total sales of "The Bionic Man" had also dropped to more than 700,000.
Reached 45 million copies.
In addition to the slight rebound in sales of "The Bionic Man", the sales of Zhang Zhong's other science fiction novels such as "Dune" and "I, Robot" have shown signs of recovery to varying degrees.
Of course, when it comes to sales recently, I have to mention "The Conspiracy". Due to the popularity of the TV series, the sales of the original work have suddenly increased significantly.
In the past, the daily sales of "The Conspiracy" were only 10,000 to 20,000. Since the broadcast of "The Conspiracy", the single-day sales have continued to rise. At its peak, the single-day sales reached more than 100,000 copies.

When Zhang Zhong and Chen Qing arrived in Yanjing, Xu Yang came to pick them up again.
They came this time to attend the Pu Songling Award Ceremony, but this time only Zhang Zhong and Chen Qing came.
Peng Peng and Xu Yuhan were also going to come, but a children's painting competition happened to be held in Nanhuai. Xu Yuhan discussed it with Zhang Zhong and decided to let the little girl go and have fun.
No matter what you do, doing things behind closed doors is not a good thing.
Pengpeng paints by himself every day, and the only people he can communicate with are Xu Yuhan and other children in the studio, which is not conducive to broadening his horizons.
This time I went to participate in the competition not to win prizes, but to let Pengpeng see how other people drew. The important thing was to participate.
This children's calligraphy and painting competition held in Nanhuai is aimed at children aged 3 to 18 in the province.
The competition is divided into three age groups: children under six years old, children between six and twelve years old, and teenagers between thirteen and eighteen years old.
This age grouping has no advantage for Pengpeng, because she is already six years old and is placed in the children's group between six and twelve years old.
Most of the other contestants competing with her were older than her, with the oldest being six years older than her.
Even if Pengpeng was extremely talented, it would be difficult for him to get good results with such an age gap, so Zhang Zhong didn't have much hope of winning an award.
"Mr. Zhang, congratulations on winning the Nebula Award and the Pu Songling Award. Our colleagues in the Yanjing Branch are all happy for you. They show off to others every day as if they have won the award." On the way to the hotel,
Xu Yang said with a smile.
Zhang Zhong smiled and said, "Then go back and help me thank my colleagues in the branch. If I have time, I will go over and see them."
"That's great. Our branch has now recruited many colleagues, and they haven't met you, Mr. Zhang. There are many young people who joined the company because of your name. The Nebula Award last time
When the award ceremony started, the company was not at work yet. Many colleagues spontaneously came to the company to watch Mr. Zhang receive the award. The scene was more lively than watching a football match. This time, if it weren’t for the Pu Songling Award Ceremony in the middle of the week
, the branch office needs to organize people to support you."
"Through your narration, I also felt the enthusiasm of my colleagues, but forget about the support, people who don't know think I am some kind of entertainment star." Zhang Zhong said.
"Then how can an entertainment star compare with you, Mr. Zhang? Besides, no entertainment star can fawn over you these days. Who doesn't know that "Ten Little Indian Boys" and "The Conspiracy" are so popular because the script is so good?"
Chen Qing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, smiled and said, "Lao Xu, that's enough. I'm getting goosebumps. If you keep doing this, we won't be able to talk anymore."
Xu Yang chuckled and said, "I'm not telling the truth."
