Chapter 96: A Different Civilization Starting from Scratch

The title of the book, "Persona of Civilization Reconstruction", has a very strange sense of substance, but it looks okay.

Anyway, there are a lot of weird titles in the text, and this one is not so conspicuous in comparison.

The author's name is "S-001", and Guan Li always has a subtle feeling that the Foundation has been taken advantage of.

001 didn't upload the cover, so the position of the book cover shows the default cover given by the station, which is nothing to look at.

Look at the synopsis again: "Persona of Civilization that does not exist, a dynastic chronicle that has been continued." The moment he opened the book, the future was foreordained, and history had been rewritten. ”

The two sentences that didn't reveal any plot at all were very pretending to be very cold and unkind.

Guan Li said that the taste of this introduction is a bit positive.

But the title of the book is only the beginning, the most important thing in a book is the content.

The total number of words is 12,000, and in a long article of millions of words, this is not even up to the level of a seedling, at most it is a "seed".

The information content of only six chapters is not enough to make the plot unfold much, and most of the space is devoted to the male protagonist picking up S-140 - a hardcover book with "dynastic chronicles" written on the cover - reading the contents of the book and learning about the history of the "Davis civilization" Davis civilization in the book.

001 has taken great care in this regard.

The Daevite civilization depicted in the book is indistinguishable from the description in the Foundation's archives.

It was an ancient civilization of city-state unions, an imperialist form of government under the rule of a theocratic aristocracy.

The nobles of the Daevites wield terrifying powers of witchcraft and possessed a supernatural longevity.

Foundation researchers theorized that these nobles had become highly differentiated into a subspecies of humanity rather than normal human individuals.

In terms of normal life, the Daevites were not much different from other human civilizations of the same period, but they seemed to have some unusual consistency.

- Martial spirits, aggressiveness, ancestor worship, dominating a huge slave population in the center of town, horrific human sacrifices, apparently supernatural but apparently effective thaumaturgical rituals......

These are all written in the S-140-Unfinished Chronicles.

001 wrote them all, including the sorcerous rituals.

That's really ...... Don't be afraid of harmony.

A large-scale literary platform like Chinese is not as strict as the Foundation website, and it censors its own content very strictly.

Although there is no explicit prohibition on writing, anti-human plots such as "living sacrifices and cannibalism" have a very high risk of being blocked as long as they are written.

However, with the popularity of the book "Civilization Reconstruction, Persona", ......

Even if it is reported, it will not be its turn.

Therefore, cool also has the benefit of coolness, at least it will not be targeted.

You must know that the bad things in the literary circle are never less than those in other circles, how many excellent books are planted on reports?

The end of the sixth chapter pauses at the moment when the male protagonist turns to the blank page and picks up the pen to write.

Even if it's just the first time to write an essay, this chapter is so quintessential, and sure enough, the broken chapter is simply the natural skill of the writer!

"I took a look at it......" Guan Li sent a sentence over first, and began to organize the language.

001 seconds back: "How's it going?"

"I can see that you have a certain amount of research on the text, so I won't talk about it if it's too basic, the writing can barely be seen, and the narrative feels a little too cold, of course it's not a problem......"

This narrative habit is clearly influenced by the style of the Foundation's archives.

Maybe it's the habit of writing S files before, eliminating colloquial subjective words and sentences, suppressing emotional colors, and the pen that 001 finally presents is full of "sexual frigidity".

- It doesn't match his personality at all.

And none of the problems that novice writers often make have been seen in him.

Many authors who are new to the text only focus on "advanced" techniques such as character setting and plot rhythm, but they don't even do the most basic things.

Paragraph length, punctuation use, pronoun switching...... These three seemingly unnoticeable items have firmly blocked many laymen who think they are very good at writing.

The fragmented reading habits of the information age, the mobile pages brought about by technological upgrades, and the loose and strict requirements of pampered readers.

It is not a matter for many people to chase millions of words after books, once they are asked to read a text with a slightly longer number of words in a single paragraph, they will lose their willingness to read it in an instant.

More and more people are using mobile screens such as mobile phones to watch them, and the effect of long paragraphs on this medium is quite terrifying - an entire page is densely packed with words.

No matter how well written, it's hard to keep people wanting to read in such a viewing experience.

In this environment, it is imperative to reduce the length of paragraphs, and there is even an extreme practice of one sentence at a time.

Punctuation, on the other hand, is even simpler.

Those dialogues that are resolutely free of double quotation marks, and those that have an exclamation mark at the end of each sentence, have to use six periods instead of ellipsis...... It's simply a manual sifting through readers.

Finally, there are works that do not use personal pronoun switching, especially those magical articles that do not use "he, her, it" or only "he, her, it" in the full text, readers never know who a certain plot is written about, and can only guess in relation to the context, and the difficulty of reading can be called a persuasive artifact.

"What I want to ask is - why did the male protagonist think of continuing this book? "Guan Li cares more about the logic of the plot than the writing.

A normal person picks up a chronicle book about a certain feudal dynasty, and it is difficult for them to have the idea of continuing to write it after reading it, right?

"Mental impact. 001 replied, "This is part of the file of 140, and this KR-class book has the ability to influence human will. ”

"If any personnel begin to show obsession with S-140 or show any signs of possible memetic contamination, they are to be administered Class-A amnestics, implanted with forged memories and reassigned to other objects. Transferred persons must be monitored for recurrence.

Readers admit to experiencing delusions, restlessness, and occasional nausea while reading S-140, though this may be related to its constituent material.

Despite this, readers have generally described S-140 as fascinating and expressed interest in continuing reading, despite its frequent disturbing content. One in fifteen readers described it as having a slight smell of dried blood. ”

- S-140 - Unfinished Chronicles

Guan Li tapped on the keyboard, "You didn't write that the male protagonist has signs of being mentally affected, he is too calm." ”

"Hmm...... In my setting, he's such a person. 001 paused for a moment before continuing with the next sentence, "Antisocial personality or something, something like that." ”

"If you are a normal person, you will go insane soon after getting 140, use your own blood to continue the history of the Daevite civilization, and then die. ”

Such a person, of course, cannot become the hero throughout a book.

In order to conform to the setting of the Daevite civilization in 140, 001 set up such a non-human protagonist character.

It is conceivable that the follow-up direction will probably run all the way towards the dark stream, and frantically test on the edge of harmony.

"It seems that you already have a complete idea of yourself, so write it down. Guan Li didn't comment too much.

This is not the same as when writing a project file.

S archives are constantly being revised and improved, and any small detail can lead to the success or failure of the entire document.

Examples of a single sentence or image sublimating an entire archive abound in the Foundation's archives.

And the text ...... Don't think so much about what you don't have, just open RD and do it!

As long as you are not mentally retarded, you will naturally know how to write millions of words.

As with his previous plans, Guan Li was not prepared to interfere too much with 001's writing, but he could provide some information that 001 did not find.

"In the Wanderer's Library, there is information about the Daevite civilization that is not recorded by the Foundation, you can check it out. ”
