Not long after the new book was launched, the number 42 came into readers’ horizons.
Netizens are also very talented and have arranged many meanings for the number 42, and the most eye-catching ones are the two inferences from the "Tao Te Ching" and "The Book of Changes".
Especially the latter, the binary system is perfectly combined with the "Book of Changes".
As we all know, Zhang Zhong used to be a programmer, and he was extremely familiar with things like binary.
If he really thought of 42 from the binary system and "Book of Changes", it is easy to understand.
"Is this really how you created the number 42?" Xu Yuhan asked, sitting on a recliner in the study.
"What do you think?" Zhang Zhong looked up at her and asked.
"It feels like they have noses and eyes, but why don't you put the release date of the new book on tomorrow? Wouldn't it be more relevant to 42?"
Zhang Zhong patted his head, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that."
Seeing Zhang Zhong's look, Xu Yuhan smiled and said, "Why do I feel like the number 42 was written casually?"
Zhang Zhong shrugged his shoulders, "Isn't that right? I don't have the imagination of netizens."
"Then why is the number 42?"
"There has to be a number."
"If your fans find out, they will probably be very disappointed. They must really hope that this number has many different meanings, look at what they said. But it is really a coincidence that it happens to have so many meanings." Xu Yuhan said.
Zhang Zhong pouted, "Coincidences are all made by people. If we change the number, there must be many other coincidences."
In fact, the number 42 does not have any special meaning. As Zhang Zhong said, when Adam Douglas wrote "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", he didn't think much about it. He just thought that the number 42 was not bad and used it.
He personally explained this problem, telling readers that the things they guessed were not what he thought at all, so that everyone should not be confused by this number.
Of course, this was what he said later.
When the number 42 became popular at first, he did not explain it, and even made forty-two colored balls to deepen people's doubts.
Zhang Zhong is not prepared to tell readers the truth. It is good to leave some room for their imagination. Knowing everything is not necessarily a good thing.
In Zhang Zhong's view, this is not an over-interpretation, as long as readers can appreciate the fun.
"Can you write the book you read in the video in the morning?" Xu Yuhan put down the book at hand and asked about the video in the morning.
Xu Yuhan was also shocked when she watched the video in Meng Mu's small house in the morning.
"No, I just made it up casually." Zhang Chong said with a smile.
In fact, it’s not completely impossible. Some of the killing techniques will be reflected in the Qin Lang series.
Different from the various cases of love and hate faced by other detectives, most of the murderers Qin Lang encountered were perverts. They were the kind of murder cases that had almost no relationship between the characters. Most of the victims and the murderers even did not know each other.
.
Cases without a motive for murder are much more difficult from an investigation perspective because the suspect cannot be identified through the victim's social relationships.
Zhang Zhong will make the Qin Lang series an ever-upgrading version. In the first part, although the murderer's murder methods are diverse, his goals are the same, and he kills all illegal car drivers. This will bring some clues to the investigation.
But things are different in the next few films. The people the murderer kills begin to lose connection with each other, the cycle of killings becomes unpredictable, and the locations of killings are irregular.
"Qin Zhao will be coming soon, so you can cook dinner tonight."
Zhang Zhong laughed, "Why, aren't you quite confident in your cooking skills?"
"Isn't it natural for you to cook a meal for your apprentice?"
"Everyone is a mistress who cooks. What the master has to do is to teach the craftsmanship." Zhang Chong closed the computer and went to lie down on the small sofa next to Xu Yuhan. "I'm tired. I can't cook anymore, but eating is okay.
.”
Xu Yuhan rolled her eyes, covered Zhang Zhong's face with the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" in her hand, and hummed, "Go to sleep."
Zhang Zhong took the book off his face and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to see what food is in the refrigerator. I always have to prepare it when people come, can I still count on you?" Xu Yuhan said as she walked out.
"It's not my first time here, and I'm still used to him. Do you want my help?"
"You'd better lie down, Mr. Zhang..."
The sound gradually faded away, and Zhang Zhong lay on the sofa and stretched.
The weather has been nice recently, and the flowers in Iris Park have bloomed. He originally planned to take Pengpeng and the others around for an outing today.
However, Qin Zhao said he wanted to come, so Zhang Zhong changed his itinerary.
Pengpeng is playing with Liu Minya in the game room on the first floor. He must be playing with building blocks.
It wasn't that Zhang Zhong could hear the sound of them building blocks, but because he didn't hear the sound of them riding the train, so he concluded that they were building blocks.
There are many things to play in the game room, but as the girls get older, they no longer like to play many games. Now only small trains and building blocks are their must-play items.
Therefore, if they did not take the train, they must have been playing with building blocks.
During this time, Zhang Zhong was thinking about whether to renovate the house, especially Pengpeng's game room. Many things in it could be eliminated and replaced with other games.
The three floors above have always been empty. Zhang Zhong is thinking about how to make use of these spaces.
For example, when Yu Dongyu talked about a stove before, Zhang Zhong was inspired and considered whether to build a room with a fireplace or something like that.
…
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Cheng came with Qin Zhao.
Looking at the large and small bags carried by the father and son, Zhang Zhong raised his eyebrows and said, "You are moving."
Qin Cheng said with a smile, "These are some local specialties brought from Luzhou, mostly dried seafood and some accessories."
Zhang Zhong took the things Qin Zhao was carrying and said, "Come in, you have brought so many things, and I still have to think about where to put them. My refrigerator is not big, so it is almost full."
“You don’t need to put it in the refrigerator, it’s all stuff that can be stored for a long time.”
Zhang Zhong didn't show any politeness anymore. He opened all the bags that Qin Cheng and the others had brought and took out all the large and small items inside.
These things filled the table in his small living room.
Xu Yuhan came out of the kitchen, looked at the dry goods and accessories piled on the table, and joked, "You have moved a shopping mall here."
Zhang Zhong scratched his head and classified these things, "I will put these dry goods in the kitchen cabinet for a while. Hey, what is this?"
He held a glass jar in his hand, which contained bright yellow pickles. It looked a bit like canned peaches, but it was a bit different.
Just when he was about to open the lid and smell it, Qin Cheng smiled and said, "This is Yellow Lantern chili sauce, made at home."
Zhang Zhong quickly stopped opening the lid and handed the sauce to Xu Yuhan, "How about adding more to the dish later?"
Xu Yuhan shrank her hands and said, "It's better to avoid it."
