It takes a lot of time to read a 300,000-word novel. Even if a normal person reads it quickly, it would take a full day.
Yu Jing felt very tired when she saw the afternoon, so she stopped first, drinking coffee and watching her boyfriend read.
Looking at her boyfriend, she suddenly remembered a poem by Zhang Zhong: You are watching the scenery on the bridge, and the people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs.
After reading Zhang Zhong's book, she began to make up everything about Zhang Zhong. This poem "Fragmented Chapter" is her favorite among all Zhang Zhong's poems.
In the scene before her, her boyfriend was looking at Zhang Zhong's new book seriously, his eyes only blinking for a long time, and his beautiful eyelashes were shaking slightly, while she turned into a person looking at the scenery upstairs, looking at her boyfriend seriously.
Serious men will indeed add a sense of handsomeness.
In this way, it was not until evening that my boyfriend closed the book with a sigh on his face.
"Have you finished reading?" Yu Jing asked, putting her hands on her chin.
The boyfriend smiled fondly and said, "I'm sorry to have you stay with me for so long."
"No, I think you're fine. Did you see Luo Ji defeat the Trisolarans?" Yu Jing said.
The boyfriend shook his head, "I can't spoil this for you, I want to know for myself."
"I guess I'm defeated, I saw you smiling."
"I'm not telling you, let's go, let's go eat."
The boyfriend stood up and looked at the night scene outside the window. A dark scene suddenly appeared in his mind. In this darkness, the trees were shadowed, and countless hunters were wandering among them, both chasing prey and guarding against other hunters.
Woo——
A short, harsh whistle reached his ears, startling him. He almost thought it was a gunshot coming from the darkness, and that the target was him.
The dark forest, such a cold and ruthless theory, the originally distant and vast universe became cold and bone-chilling in his eyes.
He knew that after the three laws of robots, this dark forest theory would become a hotly discussed law in the science fiction community.
Although it may be controversial, no one can ignore it.
He then remembered the "don't answer" in the first part, which echoed the law of the dark forest, and went a step further. Not only did he not answer, but he also couldn't make a sound, because once he made a sound, it meant that the coordinates might be exposed.
Unlike the three laws, the Dark Forest Law cannot be summarized in a few simple sentences, but is an extremely complex theory. Even in novels, there are various versions of theoretical discussions.
He feels that the basis of this theory is that the number of civilizations in the universe reaches a certain number, because he believes in the probability theory.
Human beings cannot determine the good and evil of civilization, but once the number of civilizations that threaten human beings reaches a certain level, it is almost inevitable that the coordinates will be exposed and they will be hit.
Suppose that when a civilization detects an unknown coordinate, the probability of it attacking this coordinate is one in 10,000, which seems to be a fairly small probability.
But what if there are ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, or even hundreds of millions of such civilizations? In this case, the probability of one in ten thousand is quite high, so that being hit is almost inevitable.
When Yu Jing went to dinner with her boyfriend, the heated discussion about The Three-Body Problem 2 was already spreading on the Internet.
As my boyfriend thought, most of the discussions focused on the laws of the dark forest.
[Zhang Daniubi, the laws of the dark forest make me tremble.]
【Cherish what you have now, maybe one day our starfish will be destroyed.】
[I think this theory is too dark. I think the more advanced a civilization is, the more good it is. How can it attack others for no reason? 】
【Haha, the Indians have something to say.】
[Maybe in their eyes, we are just ants. Do you care about the life and death of ants? 】
[Yes, we don’t care about the life and death of the ants, but we won’t destroy the ant nests. 】
[Well, not everyone who discovers an ant nest will destroy it, but there will always be people who discover an ant nest and want to eliminate it. This means that the more people discover an ant nest, the lower the possibility of survival. 】
[I think this law has quite a loophole and cannot withstand scrutiny.]
【Haha, if you go, come on.】
[Again, it’s your practice and your theory. If I don’t know how to build a refrigerator, I can’t evaluate the cooling effect of the refrigerator? 】
[Do you understand the question? The first sentence cannot stand up to scrutiny. 】
[Don’t mention it, this is not a science magazine. The theory itself is to serve science fiction. To be honest, our current level is simply unable to study this kind of thing. We don’t even know whether there are such things as aliens.
We still don’t know, but maybe we starfish are the only advanced species in the universe.]
[How is it possible? The universe is so big, how is it possible that there are no other civilizations? 】
[What you said, I did not say that we must be the only civilization, I only said that this is a possibility. Do you dare to say that we starfish people cannot be the only civilization in the universe? Have you ever seen such things as aliens?
?]
[Anyway, according to theory, there must be aliens. 】
【Theory, you big-headed ghost.】
…
Whether the Starfish people are the only civilization is a question that Zhang Zhong can answer, but of course he will not answer it out of the blue.
"The Three-Body Problem 2" was released on the first day. Most of the people who could finish reading the book during the day were fans, so most of them were touting the book, and there were relatively few questioning voices.
Zhang Zhong could certainly predict that people would question the laws of the dark forest.
In fact, no matter whether it is a theory in science fiction novels or an existing scientific axiom, there is nothing that cannot be questioned. Not to mention the law of the dark forest, even the theory that the "starfish" is a ball has been questioned.
Zhang Zhong has seen the "Flat Earth Theory" before. This theory believes that the continent we live on is actually a big disk, and this theory directly overturns the force of gravity. They believe that the reason why people can stand on the continent is because this big disk is constantly moving.
Go up.
Let’s not talk about whether this theory makes sense. First of all, humans really don’t need much reason to question a certain theory.
On the day the new book was released, Zhang Zhong went to bed very early because he was still tired some time ago and did not stop working after coming back. Coupled with jet lag, his sleep was not very good.
He will send Pengpeng to school in two days, so he must be energetic and go to school with a good spirit, and he must not embarrass his Pengpeng.
As for Huaxia's first-day sales figures, Zhang Zhong called Chen Qing in advance to tell him not to rush to tell him, but to wait until tomorrow's 24-hour sales figures were released before telling him together.
