Go back to 1990 to start a business

The publication of Three-Body Problem is becoming more and more influential day by day.

After all, it was 13 years in advance, and the mind has not yet been liberalized. There are both praise and criticism in the country, and it seems that there are more voices of criticism.

Among them, there are many voices from high-level officials, accusing Xia Chuan of lacking the spirit of patriotism and righteousness, and even saying that this book is a poisonous weed that promotes righteousness, is horrifying, and should be banned.

Only no one blamed Zuo Shiyun, because the Zuo family was a patriotic overseas Chinese who had returned from overseas. Attacking her would have bad influence and would be meaningless. She was Xia Chuan's shadow.

The international response has been very good, and it is believed that this is a masterpiece of science fiction that promotes world peace. Coupled with Xia Chuan's influence, the value of this book has been determined.

Major publishing houses immediately contacted Xia Chuan to purchase the copyright. Oxford Press and Cambridge Press both had extremely profound foundations, but Xia Chuan ultimately chose Simon Publishing Company.

It’s not that it’s more powerful, it’s just that there are more people in the United States.

Moreover, this company represents copyrights in all languages ​​except China and Russia, and pays royalties based on sales volume.

As for the translator, it is a fixed remuneration paid in one lump sum.

The Three-Body Problem is amidst controversy, and sales of the Chinese version are increasing day by day.

Finally, as more and more people watched it, the international acclaim grew, and the domestic controversy gradually subsided and became harmonious.

A reporter from the top media came, still Yang Lan, with a camera crew.

If you want to ask why Xia Chuan is not allowed to go to the TV station, it is not life-like. Let the audience see how good Xia Chuan's living environment is?

In the courtyard, in the warm spring season, with the Eight Immortals table set up, a pot of tea, and the camera running, the two of them started chatting as if they were casually chatting.

Shiyun could only watch from the side with regret, because because of her big belly, the interview was omitted.

"Mr. Xia Chuan, it is a pleasure to interview you again."

"I'm also happy to be interviewed by people I know."

As for whether the audience can understand, that is not within their scope of consideration. The last interview was not broadcast at all, but that is not a failure of the interview, it is even extremely valuable. It is just that the liquid body armor involves military technology and is not allowed to be broadcast.

"The work Three-Body Problem was co-authored by you and your wife Zuo Shiyun. I would like to know how you divided the work?"

"Oh, actually I didn't write a word."

"Ah?" Yang Lan was startled.

"I am only responsible for the plot structure, theme ideas, character settings, and theoretical support. For example, it involves a lot of physics. I also have to consult physicists. I do all these things."

"Oh." Yang Lan breathed a sigh of relief. Xia Chuan seemed to have not written a word. In fact, his work is the most valuable. "Does the physicist agree with the prediction in your novel?"

"That's not called prediction. It's essentially a novel. Science fiction is also a novel. Predictions are based on rigorous logic and facts, and there must be no deviation from the facts.

For example, astrophysicists disagree that Proxima Centauri's three suns are disordered and unsolvable.

Because the fact is that there is a pattern when one sun is far away and the other two are very close.It's just that the orbits of planets are much more complicated than our sun. "

Yang Lan nodded and asked, "Do you personally believe in aliens?"

"Of course. The vast universe is so vast, the solar system is like a speck of dust, and we can't even go to Mars. How small must it be? How arrogant is it to make me believe that the earth is the only civilization?

Even the earth cannot be civilized this time. No facts are enough to convince me.

Let me give you an example.The development of medicine is inseparable from population size, and of course it takes more time.

Look at the development of Western medicine. How long did it take for the current system to be formed through a large number of practices supported by the population?

They have gone from the initial trough to today's peak.

Traditional Chinese medicine is just the opposite. If you look at the Huangdi Neijing, you will see the highest peak. How did it reach its peak?

How many people were there in that era?How many doctors are there?How many words do you know?

After thousands of years of development, it gradually reached a trough. Instead of becoming more advanced with the growth of population and the passage of time, it gradually declined. The unscrupulous descendants of the past generations interpreted the classics indiscriminately, making it more and more confusing, and no one understood it. It’s something that belongs to our ancestors, but now some people are calling for the abolition of traditional Chinese medicine.

In my opinion, the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon is a legacy of the last civilization. It should have been a complete system, but what we got are incomplete fragments and we don't know how to use them, including the Hetu Luoshu.

So our current civilization is still very backward. We don’t even understand the history of the earth. We haven’t explored the interior of the earth. We don’t even know whether the moon is hollow. At this level, even if there is an alien civilization on the earth, where would we know where to go? ?

When you look at ants, do ants know?Do you believe in your existence?

We have no idea how many advanced civilizations are looking at us. The more ignorant they are, the more fearless they are, and the more stupid they are, the more confident they are. They claim that human beings are the only miracle of the universe and evolved naturally. So what are the advanced civilizations doing?

Fighting every day, wars all over the world, isn’t this going to continue towards destruction?

It takes thousands of years to get out of ignorance, but it only takes a few hundred years for industrial civilization to go from birth to destruction.

When humans have the ability to self-destruct, destruction will definitely occur.

This is my original intention to write about the Three-Body Problem. If we don’t unite, don’t develop technology for people’s livelihood, and don’t look into space, human civilization will probably be destroyed again. "

……

Xia Chuan's interview was broadcast on TV without deletion, causing unprecedented ideological shock.

He has overturned the worldview in the minds of countless blinded people. In this era when information is limited, knowledge acquisition is extremely difficult, and the Internet has not yet developed, the light of any idea is enough to illuminate a large number of people.

And Xia Chuan is undoubtedly the most dazzling one.

His words are so convincing, because he has been working hard in this direction, and he has practiced it personally and has a brilliant record. He easily won the title of the world's richest man and then gently abandoned it, just to move forward for the ideal in his heart.

It seems only God can do this.

He was easily cast into the halo of God, making all living beings bow their heads, and he had countless followers.

However, he once again gave conservatives a reason to attack him and an excuse to eliminate capital and righteousness.

A high school student actually denies the theory of evolution based on mere speculation?

How dare a person who never went to college dare to belittle modern civilization and restore feudal dross?

How can a capitalist's ramblings be spread at will in the land of mouthpieces?

If this continues, where will there be a red base?

The conservatives united unprecedentedly and jointly signed a letter to the big boss, demanding that Xia Chuan be banned.

Facing these veterans who are in wheelchairs, canes or even bedridden, the big boss is very worried. Tradition cannot be touched, it is the foundation of stability.

In the end, I could only persuade them one by one, saying that Xia Chuan's purpose was to weaken the international hostile forces ideologically and reduce the obstacles to the development of our Guo family. Promoting globalization was in the interests of the Guo family, and the biggest beneficiary was us. We should proceed from the overall situation. , cannot move.

The answers of the old people are also very reasonable: my thoughts have been shaken, is there still a base area?

After several back and forth, the big boss finally took a step back and did not allow Xia Chuan's remarks and reports to appear in important domestic media.But the book cannot be sealed, and the business cannot be moved. It is no longer his.
