The rise of the country from the entertainment industry

Chapter 176 Linkage of Science and Science Fiction
A week later, a set of articles on the theory of ball lightning appeared in a special issue of the academic journal Philosophical Acta.

A trio of physical chemists, physicists and chemical engineers has come up with three new theories to explain what causes ball lightning.

Its main contents are as follows: ball lightning is composed of small water droplets containing hydrated ions, which release energy through ion reaction; ball lightning is formed by winding polymer filaments, and releases energy through surface discharge; ball lightning is composed of The metal nanoparticle chain is composed, and its energy release is carried out through the surface oxidation of the metal nanoparticle.

However, an unprovable "macro atom" conjecture is mentioned in the article.

When a reporter interviewed this and asked about the "macro atom" conjecture mentioned in the article, the little old man actually mentioned a book in front of many reporters.

"Recently, I read a science fiction novel called "The Observer". The content is very professionally written, and the idea is also very bold. Although it can't be proved now, it can be regarded as a new way of thinking for us."

Reporters: "..."

The usually noisy reporter was taken aback by this, and the scene was messed up, even suspecting that the old man had received the advertisement fee for the "Observer".

This is an interview with a serious science column, not an entertainment show.

But some literary and artistic news reporters present with a keen sense of smell suddenly became excited.

This is good news material!
The respected old professor actually did such a thing!Behind all this is the loss of morality, or the distortion of human nature?

The microphones of some reporters almost hit the old man's mouth.

"Did you really get your inspiration from a science fiction novel?"

"As a well-known physicist in China, is it inappropriate for you to use an unprovable conjecture in a fictional novel as evidence for a new theory?"

"Aren't you ashamed of that?"

The old man suddenly became displeased, and said with a beard and stare: "Ball lightning is still a scientific mystery, but now it can be produced in the laboratory, and it is just around the corner to completely solve this mystery!"

"The macroatomic theory is indeed fictionalized by the writer's epitaph, but it does not necessarily not exist. With the current scientific level of human beings, it is still impossible to draw conclusions on many, many theoretical conjectures. No theory will be fully proved, just like you first. I was pricking a balloon with a needle, and the balloon burst, but it cannot be said that the next time you pierce a balloon, the balloon will definitely burst!"

"To borrow another sentence from the book, [the star, if it does not exist, it can be easily proved that it cannot exist]."

On the same day, following Jiang Li's recommendation last time, "Observer" once again appeared on the hot search for bibs in a way that ordinary people can't imagine.

"A well-known domestic physicist published the theory of ball lightning, claiming that he got inspiration from the science fiction novel "The Observer."

As soon as this hot search came out, readers who had watched "The Observer" and those who hadn't read "The Observer" were dumbfounded.

"Fuck, is it real or fake? It's against the law to spread rumors!"

"It's not a rumor. I read that article, and I also read "The Observer". It can be seen that part of it is indeed inspired by it!"

"Even physicists say that "The Observer" is written very professionally. I told my friends before that they didn't believe it, saying that all the theories written in this book were made up by the tomb old thief!"

"The point is, you are a writer who writes novels and pens. You used to write fairy tales and fantasy, but now you are so awesome when you write science fiction?"

Immediately afterwards, many professionals who are usually not interested in novels also proved through various channels that the scientific knowledge involved in "The Observer" is very professional.

The conjecture process of "macro atom" is also very reasonable.

The online fiction world never imagined that the science world and science fiction like "The Observer", which have nothing to do with each other except for the name, have actually achieved a dreamlike linkage.

Taking advantage of this heated discussion, the sales of "Observer" also rose again!
………………

In a familiar bookstore, the boss stood in front of the bookshelf and sighed, and the mobile phone in his hand also displayed "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently on the phone".

"Boss, give me one, no, three "Observers"!"

Before the person arrives, the sound arrives first.

A tall, thin man in a plaid shirt and glasses panted heavily and slapped a hundred-dollar bill on the cash register.

The boss glanced at the bright red hundred-yuan bill, feeling bitter in his heart, wishing to give himself a big blow.

But I can only helplessly tell the truth: "Sorry, there is only the last copy of "The Observer" in the store, do you want it?"

The thin and tall man let out an "ah" and sighed, "Okay, okay, I've already gone to five bookstores, so I'll buy one if I have one."

"Hey, wait!" He took out an unsealed "Observer" from the cash register, and said happily, "Isn't there another one? I want this one too!"

That was...

I have seen it...

The boss hesitated to speak, and then stopped talking.

Finally, with a sigh, I gave him 20 yuan.

After the man left, the boss immediately found the bookseller's phone number again and dialed it.

As a result, it was not connected until the fifth time.

"Hello, I'm a bookstore in the Kyoto area. When will the [-] copies of "The Observer" I ordered before be delivered! I'm out of stock!"

"I'm really sorry, we are hurrying to print and bind, and deliver the goods to you as soon as possible, please don't worry."

The boss's face turned red: "Don't worry, don't worry, you said it easily. Since yesterday, you have said as soon as possible. I have made several phone calls here, but you have given me a letter! What I lost was the red banknotes." ah!"

In just a few days, all the stocks of "Observer" in his store have been sold out, and half of the previously promoted "Too Wild Swallowing the Sky" is still alive!

Moreover, "Observer" has become more and more popular in the past two days, and more and more people came to buy it. It seems that it is the time to make a lot of money.

As a result, the publishing company collapsed and couldn't supply...

The boss has long cursed in his heart.

What kind of pig brain, don't you know how to stock up before selling it?
How about fooling fools with just a few hundred copies?
He was not the only one who scolded, many bookstore owners who were out of stock also complained in various ways.

But apart from complaining and cursing, their biggest emotions these days are remorse and self-blame.

No one could have imagined that a science fiction novel would become so popular, and no one expected that it would become popular so quickly.

Not to mention that a science fiction novel would actually have a relationship with a physicist in the scientific community.

Even the conjecture theory in it was used to write in authoritative scientific research articles.
