Rebirth of the Wild Age

The first time Song Weiyang heard about "Three-Body Problem" was at the banquet of a certain business tycoon.

In terms of assets, Song Weiyang can only be regarded as the younger brother, drinking soup after those rich people. When it comes to chatting, Song Weiyang is not afraid of anyone. Occasionally some wealthy people come to Xikang and call Song Weiyang to drink and brag.

Apart from business at the wine table, astronomy and geography, celebrity gossip, history, politics, literature and art... all topics can be talked about, anyway, they can be loud.

That belongs to the pastime of the rich and educated. For them, it is far more comfortable to find a few colleagues to chat with than to sleep with a few movie stars. In order to maintain this relationship, Song Weiyang never took the initiative to ask those wealthy people for help, only win-win business would find the other party, and everything was business-like and business-like.

Too much appetite, too many demands, people won't call you again next time they drink.

At that time, "The Three-Body Problem" had not yet won an award. Boss A said, "Recently, I read a novel by Da Liu, and the writing is really awesome!"

"Is it "The Three-Body Problem"?" Boss B asked.

“It’s The Three-Body Problem,” Boss A said. “I’ve been reading science fiction novels for 20 years, and the only one in China that can really keep me reading all night is The Three-Body Problem.”

Boss b smiled and said, "Haha, me too!"

Song Weiyang didn't pay much attention to sci-fi literature, and was completely confused at the time. These big bosses didn't talk about science fiction before, so why are they all watching "The Three-Body Problem" all of a sudden? Is this novel really that mysterious?

After the banquet, Song Weiyang immediately called his assistant to buy a set of "Three-Body Problem", and then happily watched it.

To be honest, the "Law of the Dark Forest" has a lot of loopholes, and sometimes it gives various characters a mentally handicapped halo. But the flaws do not hide the merits, this science fiction novel is really awesome, the development of the plot makes Song Weiyang completely unable to guess, and some things can bring him aftertaste and thinking.

This kind of novel is really rare in China, it is too rare, and it cannot be overstated.

When Song Weiyang failed in his first venture, "Wolf Totem" was all the rage, and he really believed in it. In his second venture, he was reckless to build a wolf-like team. But in actual operation, Song Weiyang quickly understood that whoever believes in "Wolf Totem" is an idiot. A company that believes in wolf culture may become big, but don't try to do it for a long time, or it will die sooner or later.

"The Three-Body Problem" is different. The contents of accident and necessity, strength and weakness, omnipotence and ignorance, survival and destruction, innocence and cruelty, etc., can make Song Weiyang put down the company affairs and think behind closed doors.

It can be said that "Three-Body" made Song Weiyang in his previous life complete his values.

There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers, and the work does not belong to the creator after it is published.

When Liu was writing "The Three-Body Problem", he certainly didn't think so much. What Song Weiyang read in the novel was another story, a story that belonged only to him.

...

"The story begins in 1967. Ye Wenjie's sister died in a fight..."

Writing a novel is different from telling a story. Song Weiyang directly condensed several large paragraphs of text into one sentence in the original book.

For this novel that has been read several times and thought about seriously, Song Weiyang narrated it very skillfully, without any pause at all.

At first, the students in the audience thought it was another scar literature story, until Ye Wenjie was taken to the Red Bank Base.

And then, gone...

Song Weiyang didn't talk for 20 minutes at all, and after 11 minutes passed, he smiled and said: "I know what will happen next, and let's listen to the next chapter to break it down!"

Guo Tao was stunned for a moment, and shouted, "Keep talking!"

"Let's stop here for now." Song Weiyang said.

"No," Guo Tao grabbed Song Weiyang's wrist, "You must finish telling the story today, how can you only tell half of it!"

Nie Jun was also fascinated by what he heard. This guy used to believe in qigong, but now he is attracted by the Hong'an base. Anyway, he belongs to that kind of mysterious thing. He supported Song Weiyang from the other side: "Tell me again, tell me again, what is the Red Coast Base for? Is it used by the military to contact aliens?"

Guo Tao urged: "Talk for another 10 minutes, you said you will talk for 20 minutes!"

"Finish the story!"

"Say it!"

"Has Ye Wenjie encountered an alien?"

"..."

The audience shouted one after another, making Song Weiyang's scalp numb. If he left directly, he would probably be beaten to death.

"Ahem," Song Weiyang cleared his throat, "Then I'll talk for a few more minutes?"

"Hurry up!" Guo Tao couldn't wait any longer.

Song Weiyang held the microphone and continued: "Thirty-eight years later..."

After only saying a few words, there was a dead silence in Xianghui Hall, and then it started to make noise.

Guo Tao couldn't help but interrupt him: "Where's the promised Hong'an base? Who is that base sending signals to? You should make it clear. Why did you jump to 38 years later!"

Nie Jun said: "Don't interrupt, let Lao Song continue."

Song Weiyang said with a smile: "Wang Miao was approached by a strange combination, two policemen and two military officers. One of the policemen was very annoying. He was big and thick, with a fleshy face, dirty clothes, and smelled like cigarettes." , talking loudly..."

Even Nie Jun couldn't stand it this time, and said depressedly: "Ye Wenjie, Ye Wenjie is the heroine, what's the situation with this Wang Miao?"

Song Weiyang ignored it at all, and continued: "The rude policeman took out his police officer ID, and after confirming Wang Miao's identity, he went straight into the house with a cigarette in his mouth..."

"Everything leads to the conclusion that physics never existed and never will exist."

"As soon as Wang Miao closed his eyes, this string of countdown numbers appeared in his dark vision, lingering like a ghost."

"This night lasted for 48 years. Civilization No. 137 was destroyed in the severe cold. This civilization evolved to the Warring States level..."

When Ye Wenjie reappeared, she was already an old woman. Song Weiyang stopped talking at this point.

Nie Jun shivered all over his body, and said nervously, "Old Song, is this a science fiction story or a horror story? It makes my hair stand on end!"

"That's right, my vest is sweating!" Guo Tao echoed.

Not only these two, but the entire Xianghui Hall's students listened to the science fiction attentively, and as a result, the more they listened, the more they developed in a supernatural direction.

No one noticed that there was a 40-year-old woman sitting under the stage. She was listening to the story with great interest, and she walked towards Song Weiyang suddenly after the event was over.

This woman's name is Yang Xiao, a graduate of the Beijing Aeronautical Academy, who became the editor-in-chief of "Science Fiction Literature and Art" when it was about to close down. The higher authorities don’t allocate a penny, and science fiction magazines can’t be sold. Yang Xiao can only lead her staff to write children’s stories and middle school physics books. School.

In this way, the "Science Fiction Literature and Art" magazine survived and changed its name to "Science Fiction World".

When the magazine sold less than 2,000 copies and had no money to fly, Yang Xiao set off from Beijing and took a train for eight days and nights to arrive in the Netherlands. She was going to apply for the right to host the annual meeting of the World Science Fiction Association!

When science fiction writers from all over the world heard the news, they were deeply impressed by Yang Xiao's spirit. In addition, she gave a bid speech on the theme of oriental mystery, and "Science Fiction World" won the right to host with an overwhelming advantage. At that time, not only was this magazine not well-known abroad, but even few people in China knew about it.

In 2000, "Science Fiction World" became the world's number one selling science fiction magazine in Yang Xiao's hands.

Big Liu is a well-deserved hero in the Chinese science fiction world, and Yang Xiao is the savior of the Chinese science fiction world! Including Da Liu, most of the science fiction writers in China were trained by Yang Xiao.

"Hello, Song, I'm Yang Xiao, the editor-in-chief of "Science Fiction World." Yang Xiao stretched out his right hand and looked at the young man in front of him with a smile.
