After rebirth, I became a great writer

Chapter 240 Dark Forest

Zhu Yanlin's words made Zou Yingde both confused and surprised.

What was confused was that he did not understand the meaning of "Dark Forest", but what was surprised was that Zhu Yanlin actually thought that "Three-Body Problem" could win the first place.

It is true that the plot of "Three-Body Problem" is very exciting, but it is an international competition!

Almost all well-known young writers around the world will participate, and it is undoubtedly a very difficult thing to stand out among them.

Zou Yingde felt that it was a bit exaggerating to be able to give to the top three, but he didn't expect that Zhu Yanlin would be even more exaggerating.

"President Zhu, what does the second part you just mentioned mean by Dark Forest?"

After thinking about it, Zou Yingde felt that there must be a reason for Zhu Yanlin to say this, and this reason is likely to fall into the first half of the sentence.

"Haha, Lao Zou, Tianhong talked to me about the settings when he was writing his new work, which is the view of the universe in the book."

Zhu Yanlin told Zou Yingde about the chat content of that day.

After listening to it, Zou Yingde then understood why Zhu Yanlin said this.

Each novel has a setting for the world view. The world view is actually similar to the cosmic view, but the cosmic view focuses more on physics, and this is generally only said in science fiction novels.

What Chen Tianhong said to Zhu Yanlin last time was that it included both physics and moral philosophy, but the view of the Dark Forest was too cruel.

But it is undeniable that this setting can definitely capture the readers' psychology at once.

I believe that all science fiction fans have an idea in their minds. If there is really an alien civilization, then will there be a common moral code in the universe?

The answer given by "The Three-Body Problem" is that there are, and it is a civilized universe with almost zero morality.

So how can moral human civilization survive in such a universe?

Or, can you survive?

Therefore, the first "The Past of the Earth" in "The Three-Body Problem" is just the tip of the iceberg. The 200,000 words of the whole article are just a prelude. This is also the reason why Zou Yingde conservatively gave the top three after reading this.

But after listening to the subsequent settings, he was confident enough.

"I'm worried now whether Tianhong can write the next one in the remaining time. I heard that the first one has 200,000 words, so I guess there are more in the following book."

Zhu Yanlin sighed, he was a little worried that it was less than a month before the publication of the work.

"President Zhu, Tianhong can complete the first part in more than a week. I think the rest is fine. The young people's typing speed is different from ours!"

"If it really doesn't work, we can give him a few more days. At worst, let the translation team work overtime to translate."

Zou Yingde was not like Zhu Yanlin. He believed in Chen Tianhong's hand speed.

"I hope this is the case! Lao Zou, please keep an eye on the translation matters, translate the first part of "The Three-Body Problem" as soon as possible, and try to restore the original meaning of the novel."

Zhu Yanlin gave a message.

Zou Yingde agreed to this. He looked at the time and it was already half past six and had chatted for more than an hour without realizing it.

Seeing the tired look on Zhu Yanlin's face again, Zou Yingde stood up and left consciously.

After Zou Yingde left, Zhu Yanlin thought about it and took out his cell phone to call Chen Tianhong. He did not completely let go of his worries.

When Chen Tianhong received the call, he was having dinner in the cafeteria. He directly made a promise about Zhu Yanlin's concern.

"Tianhong, was President Zhu Yanlin just called the phone?"

Yu Zhijie asked excitedly when he heard Chen Tianhong's call.

"Well, ask me what's wrong with "The Three-Body Problem"?"

Seeing Chen Tianhong's face was calm and his tone was calm, the blue veins on Yu Zhijie's forehead almost couldn't help but swear.

What's wrong? That's the vice president of the Writers Association headquarters, the "literary tycoon" of the world! The idol of countless people!

If Yu Zhijie could receive a call from Zhu Yanlin, he would be so happy that he would jump up in the cafeteria completely regardless of his image, but looking at Chen Tianhong's expression, he would be really worth a beating!

In fact, Yu Zhijie didn’t know that this was not the first time Chen Tianhong had spoken with Zhu Yanlin. He really didn’t need to be so excited.

"Tianhong, did President Zhu call to urge the manuscript?"

Gao Wanfeng also asked curiously.

"No, President Zhu is worried that I can't write the second part before the competition. By the way, Lao Gao, I won't go to the evening self-study period during this period. I want to go back to the dormitory to write novels. It depends on you for signing in."

"This is all a trivial matter, as long as you can write the second half of "The Three-Body Problem" as soon as possible."

Gao Wanfeng agreed immediately, and as a squad leader, he still has this little right.

The second part of "The Three-Body Problem" is 100,000 words more than the first part. Although it is expected that the time is enough, Chen Tianhong still wants to write it out earlier.

"Second Leader Gao, I won't go to evening self-study today, I have an appointment."

Ximen Xue came up to talk to each other in a silly manner.

"No, the school's rules and regulations must be abide by!"

Gao Wanfeng directly refused. He could tell from Ximen Xue's voice what the so-called appointment was.

Rules and regulations are not important, and the important thing cannot be harmed by the girl. Gao Wanfeng is a person with a very positive outlook on his own.

"A week's meal"

Ximen Xue has given conditions.

Gao Wanfeng was a little moved, but he was still persisting.

"Two weeks!"

Ximen Xue continues to increase her position!

"The deal is done. But I'm talking about the three of us."

Gao Wanfeng pointed at Chen Tianhong and Yu Zhijie respectively, with a bright smile on his face.

Ximen Xue was speechless, but for the gentle young lady and her own credits, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

In fact, two weeks of meals are nothing to Ximen Xue. He just feels that he has been cheated, and that is the key point.

Yu Zhijie and Chen Tianhong both smiled brightly, and they were not short of food, but they were still very happy to see Ximen Xue being defeated.

One of the fun of college years is to cheat roommates.

After the four of them had supper, Gao Wanfeng and Yu Zhijie went to the classroom for evening self-study, while Chen Tianhong and Ximen Xue returned to the dormitory.

After returning to the dormitory, Ximen Xue changed into a decent dress and sprayed some men's perfume in a very sexy way. Then she hummed a little song and went to the appointment.

Chen Tianhong said despised Ximen Xue's behavior, but he was actually a little envious.

Of course, this envy does not mean that he also wants to be a Neptune, but that the tadpoles stored by Ximen Xue can be released.

Chen Tianhong's tadpoles have accumulated a lot, but the position has not yet been released in a happy battle.

"After completing this international competition, you must complete this task."

Chen Tianhong made a secret swear, then turned on the computer and turned on the codec mode.

The fingers are very wide, and the time is too thin. It slips away quietly but quickly between our fingers.

More than an hour later, Chen Tianhong was stunned for a while at the first chapter on the computer screen, and he fell into memories of his previous life.

In fact, the chapter I just copied is not strictly the official chapter of "Three Body II: Dark Forest", it is just a prologue, but this prologue is nearly 10,000 words.

When Chen Tianhong first read this chapter, he was in a fog, and most of it was filled with inexplicable conversations.

Ye Wenjie's dialogue with the second protagonist Luo Ji, and the dialogue between Evans and the Three-Body Man intercepted by the Operations Center.

It was not until the second part was fully watched that Chen Tianhong understood the meaning of this prologue. It seemed messy, but it was actually very important.

It not only reveals the main theme of the second book, but also plays a role in connecting the past and the future. It can be said that without this chapter, there would be no turning point for the final victory.

Just as Chen Tianhong was in memory, the dormitory door was pushed open, but what came in was not Gao Wanfeng and Yu Zhijie who had been studying for the evening, but Ximen Xue who had just left.

Unlike the spring breeze that was when he went out, Ximen Xue wrote the words "depression" on her face when she came back.

"Tianhong, how did you write? I was cheated."

Ximen Xue sat next to Chen Tianhong and said with great depression.

"Just finished writing a chapter, why did you come back so soon? Apart from the time you go out and take a taxi, I guess the time you have to do business is no more than ten minutes! Ximen, your health is so poor now!"

Chen Tianhong laughed and teased.

"What's the matter? I was treated like a Kaizi and I spent more than half an hour with the girl and bought a lot of things. The more I bought it, the worse it was. Although I didn't have enough money, I couldn't be used as an ATM!"

Ximen Xue began to talk about his date this time.

After listening for a while, Chen Tianhong understood.

The reason why Ximen Xue was depressed was that he not only did not get in the car, but also paid a meal. What was even more uncomfortable was that when he came back, he found that the girl had deleted him.

Ximen Xue is not a stingy person. If he gets along with a girl, he is willing to buy gifts and can't be a sucker.

"Haha, this is not very normal! If you really understand the laws of the dark forest, you won't feel lost!"

"Isn't the law of the Dark Forest about the universe? What does it have to do with me? Tianhong, you won't be stupid in writing books, right!"

Ximen Xue was questioned by Chen Tianhong.

He knew the general meaning of the Dark Forest Law in "The Three-Body Problem". Although he had not read the novel yet, what is certain is that it has nothing to do with him and the girl.

"I'm not talking about "The Three-Body Problem", but about reality. Simon, have you ever heard this sentence?

In fact, the city we live in is a forest. Every man is a hunter with a gun, and every woman is a beautiful trap. There are no need for too many heroes here. Most men will fall into the beautiful trap.

It is not normal for hunters to fall into a trap. Why are you only allowed to hunt for beauty? You are not allowed to make a trap for girls. Both parties are equal, it depends on who has the better skills!

If you want to talk about me, Ximen, you should have a real relationship, and it is enough to just fall in a trap."

Chen Tianhong said a sentence that was once very popular in a certain era in his previous life.

"Cities are forests, every man is a hunter, and every woman is a trap. Interesting, interesting!"

"Their bait is love, their prey is each other. Which one wins and which one loses depends on the hunter's ability, and who is stronger in the ability of women to set traps."

Ximen Xue's eyes were shining by Chen Tianhong's "urban dark forest" theory, and her heart was filled with depression.

You are right! Everyone makes a living by their skills. What's the point of complaining about not being as good as others?

Chen Tianhong was speechless about Ximen Xue's understanding. In fact, he said this to remind Ximen Xue not to get women through immoral means, it is best to give up his behavior of Aquaman, otherwise he would regret it sooner or later.

There is a saying that goes: I often walk by the river, but I don’t have any shoes wet. I often swim in the sea and will be choked to death sooner or later.

In the end, Aquaman has no good results and is often lonely for life.

Because the goal set by Aquaman himself is to conquer one woman after another, but after conquering one, he falls into emptiness afterwards.

So they continued to set a goal for themselves, thinking about letting go after the final ultimate challenge was successful, but they didn't know that there would never be a so-called end. They would tirelessly gallop in the city forest.

Even if you ride a horse all your life, you are lonely in spirit and your soul will never find a place to live.

Hearing that Ximen Xue had a deviant understanding, Chen Tianhong shook his head and was about to continue speaking, but his phone suddenly rang. It was Liu Yifei who called him.

Chen Tianhong gave up on the idea of ​​persuading Ximen Xue, he got up and came to the balcony, pressing the switch button.

Not to mention what Chen Tianhong and Liu Yifei would talk about, Ximen Xue saw the prologue on the computer screen, and he slid his mouse and started to read it.

The opening of "Three Body II: Dark Forest" begins with a tiny brown ant. In the microscopic world, this brown ant is unique. Perhaps it is tired of mediocre ground life and hopes to reach another level.

So under the call of a certain sound, it climbed up a lonely peak with the sensitivity of its tentacles. It saw a new world and the person making the sound.

This is a young man with a face that commemorates the young man. He put a bouquet of flowers in front of the lonely peak that the brown ants climbed, and said something far beyond the understanding of the brown ants. This sentence is:

[Living itself is wonderful. If you don’t even understand this principle, how can you explore something deeper?]

Then the brown ant saw another person, who was also tall but very old.

The young man is the protagonist of the second part of "The Three-Body Problem", Luo Ji, and the aging person who later was Ye Wenjie. As for the lonely peak that the brown ants tried their best to climb, it was a tombstone. Yang Dong's tomb.

The brown ant didn't know that it was, but what it saw was two people who determined the fate of the earth. It said that it was determined the fate of the earth, but it actually came from the conversation between Luo Ji and Ye Wenjie.

The dialogue between them started with greeting each other, and learned from the dialogue that Luo Ji was Yang Dong’s high school classmate.

He is a person with no ambition and impetuousness. He only has a dual degree in astronomy and sociology but is not enterprising and just live a mediocre life.

Ye Wenjie advised him to try to study cosmic sociology. This is a new concept, something that Ye Wenjie only thought about after thinking for most of her life.

Since it is a concept, there must be axioms.

[First, survival is the first need of civilization!]

[Second, civilization continues to grow and expand, but the total amount of matter in the universe remains unchanged!]

In addition to these two axioms, there are two important concepts: chain of suspicion and technological explosion.

Ye Wenjie didn't say much. She didn't have much time and had to go to a party, which was the last party.

The conversation didn't take long, there were only a few keywords, and the final conclusion needed Luo Ji himself to think about and infer.

Luo Ji later learned that Ye Wenjie's words are of great significance to the earth's civilization and even to any civilization in the universe.

Especially for humans, its shocking degree can be described as shocking the world and weeping ghosts. This concept is the prototype of the dark forest of cosmic civilization axioms.

When these concepts were expressed, in addition to Luo Ji and the three-body world, the humble brown ant was heard.

Brown ants don’t understand, but at this historic moment, they need a third party to testify, otherwise wouldn’t it be too sad!

As for life on Earth, it is the only witness, witnessing the germination of a discipline and a system of thought, and the birth of a sword against the Three-Body World.

From the meeting between the three of them, the magnificent struggle between human beings and the Three-Body World began.
