"I don't understand why there are so many 'ball rapes'. ”

"There are still so many traitors in the Anti-Japanese War, how normal it is. ”

"Have you noticed? Most of the 'ball rapists' are Chinese, and this book perfectly shows the inferior nature of the Chinese. ”

"Blind a few, go to Nima's inferior roots. There is no cover in the Pacific Ocean, swim over by yourself, and the people over there are all great. ”

"Full of swearing, people like you are the representative of the inferior nature of the Chinese!"

"Don't be noisy, read a book and make a hammer. ”

"I think it's not the mainstream of salvation and adventism, and the survivors will definitely be the largest number in the future. For ordinary people, life is very difficult now, who can control the alien attack in hundreds of years?"

"Well, I don't read much, what is nano? Is it a technology made up by the author, or is it really on the earth?"

"Of course, the United States has been equipped with nanotechnology, China is also researching and developing, and one of my buddies is working in a nano military research and development base. ”

"My uncle is still the president!"

"I found a problem, the author said that the Trisoranus is four light years away from the Earth, and the maximum speed of the Trisolaran is one-tenth of the speed of light, so it should only take 40 Earth years to reach the Earth, why 450 years? Is it that the author is too poor in mathematics and miscalculated. ”

"I have an answer to that question. My 100-meter run is 12.5 seconds, so I can run 8 meters per second and 691 kilometers a day. The straight-line distance between the capital and Shenghai is about 1,000 kilometers, and in less than a day and a half, I was able to run from the capital to Shenghai. Excuse me, did I miscalculate?"

"My friends who finished running in Beijing and Shanghai in a day and a half are awesome. ”

In 1997, the Sitong chat room was the most popular, but the number of people online at the same time in each chat room was only twenty or thirty, and the sum of several chat rooms barely exceeded 100 - this is not as good as a QQ group in the future.

The main reason is that the current network fee is too expensive, and many people go offline after chatting for a while, and those who can irrigate all day long are local tyrants.

With the power of "The Three-Body Problem", the number of people online at the same time in a single chat room in Sohu has exceeded 100, and the upper limit of the number of people has been reached, and Zhang Chaoyang had to adjust the upper limit of the number of people to 200. Even so, whenever the fixed update time of "The Three-Body Problem" arrives, the upper limit of 200 people is still not enough, and many readers are stuck outside and can't get in.

As for normal times, the number of people online at the same time in a single chat room in Sohu still exceeds 50, and it can be said that this year is a mess.

The popularity of the chat room has also greatly increased the traffic of Sohu.com, with an average of more than 60,000 visitors per day. When many netizens get tired of chatting, they go to browse Sohu's webpage and watch all kinds of news and technical content.

With more and more updates to "The Three-Body Problem", the scattered chapters posted in the chat room are inconvenient to read, so this book was moved to Sohu.com. Zhang Chaoyang asked people to make a special section called "Dance Writing and Ink", but all interesting articles published in the chat room will be moved to the "Dance and Ink" section of Sohu the next day.

This greatly stimulated the creative enthusiasm of netizens, and many people began to post original articles in chat rooms, still mainly poetry, prose and short stories, but some people began to publish long articles.

Among them, there are three outstanding -

Ning Caishen: Specializes in writing ghost stories.

Li Xunhuan: Mass production of poetry and prose.

Xing Yusen: The main short story.

These three people, plus Song Weiyang's "Zenith Star Man", are praised as the "Four Heavenly Kings of Internet Literature" by good deeds.

At night, eleven o'clock.

There are only a few people left online in this chat room, Lin Zhuoyun lives in the graduate dormitory tonight, and Song Weiyang can chat until midnight.

Li Xunhuan: "I'm going offline, and I'll defend my thesis tomorrow." ”

Zenith: "You haven't graduated yet?"

Li Xunhuan: "I'm about to graduate." ”

Zenith: "What are you going to do after graduation?"

Li Xunhuan: "I have entered the real estate company and have signed a contract. ”

Xing Yusen: "Do real estate sales?"

Li Xunhuan: "I majored in economics, so I don't have to be on the front line of sales......"

Zenith: "This year is the worst year for the real estate industry since the 92nd Southern Tour. Dude, take care. ”

Ning Caishen: "Leave each other's mailboxes, and if you have difficulties in work in the future, you can come to the capital to mix with me." By the way, I'm in the securities business, which is very compatible with your economics major. ”

Li Xunhuan: "Thank you." My name is Lu Jinbo and this is my email address......"

Song Weiyang was not very familiar with the early Internet, and when he saw Lu Jinbo's name, he finally knew who this person was. The driving force behind Han Han, Baby Anne, Murong Xuecun and others, the general manager of "Under the Banyan Tree", a very successful cultural businessman.

As for that Xing Yusen, everyone's first reaction may be Xing Zhutou. The real identity of this person is a doctor of information engineering from Beijing Post and Staff, and later became a screenwriter, and the film and television works he participated in the screenwriting include "Sister Idler", "A Family in the Northeast", "Family with Children", "Urban Men and Women" and so on.

Li Xunhuan: "Goodbye everyone, I may have to disappear for a while." Graduation is a bit of a mess, and I have to change my city life, and I'll meet again!"

After Li Xunhuan went offline, Ning Caishen suddenly asked, "Brother Zenith, what are you doing?"

Zenith: "Student." ”

Xing Yusen: "The Zenith must have studied physics, and it is a very high-end physics, celestial mechanics, quantum mechanics and the like, otherwise it would be impossible to write a work like "The Three-Body Problem". ”

Zenith: "Huh. ”

Ning Caishen: "Why did I see someone in the chat room a few days ago that someone said that "The Three-Body Problem" is Song Weiyang's work. ”

Xing Yusen: "Who is Song Weiyang?"

Ning Caishen: "Cao, you don't usually read newspapers?"

Xing Yusen: "Okay, I remember, it seems to be the boss of Xifeng Company." ”

Zenith: "Lao Ning, are you interested in going to Thailand to play, it seems to be quite lively over there." ”

Ning Caishen: "Forget it, I'm just a little minion, how can I be qualified to play with the capital giants? Don't change the topic, are you really Song Weiyang?"

Zenith starman: "Can Song Weiyang be so idle as me?"

Ning Caishen: "That's right. ”

Zenith: "I'm offline, goodbye." ”

With the fermentation of time, "The Three-Body Problem" has become popular from the Internet to reality.

The first was a computer professional magazine, which reported on the rise of online literature. Then there is the mass media, which reports online literature as a novelty and gives it a lofty meaning: the Internet is changing the way and way of literary creation.

This is a very novel thing for netizens and ordinary people.

In the mid-90s, people had to submit articles to newspapers and magazines if they wanted to publish articles. A slightly larger magazine receives hundreds of thousands of manuscripts every month, and most of the editors accept manuscripts from old authors, and the chances of newcomers being able to publish their work are similar to winning the lottery.

How can you not be excited to publish an article on the Internet now?

The demonstration effect brought by "The Three-Body Problem" has made online literature "prosperous" rapidly. The purpose of netizens is very pure, not to make money, but to express their desire for literary expression. And others are also very popular, and even the sour prose written by Li Xunhuan can usher in unanimous praise.

The reason for this is that being a reader on the Internet, you can communicate with the author, you can make impromptu comments in the chat room, and you can meet so many like-minded people - this is not comparable to reading a paper book.

In the summer of '97, the number of Chinese netizens exceeded 200,000, and Internet cafes (early Internet cafes) spread to inland cities.

What can these people do online?

It's nothing more than browsing information and chatting, and MUD (text online games) are just starting to become popular. Creating and reading online literature has suddenly become an important part of people's online content, if you haven't read "The Three-Body Problem", you are not worthy of calling yourself a netizen!

That is the originator of Chinese online literature, and it is praised to the sky every minute.

It's a common occurrence in Internet cafes like, "Yo, you're surfing the Internet too." Have you seen "The Three-Body Problem"?what,Haven't you seen it?Then you can't keep up with the trend.,Let me tell you.,"The Three-Body Problem" is particularly awesome.,The author is a doctor of astrophysics...... Let's take a look, don't look ashamed!"

"Science Fiction King" didn't say hello, and directly took "The Three-Body Problem" to serialize.

Yang Xiao, the editor-in-chief of "Science Fiction World", immediately called Song Weiyang and wanted to get the exclusive serialization rights of "The Three-Body Problem".

After the two sides communicated, Song Weiyang agreed, provided that the author's information was not revealed.

"Science Fiction World" began serializing "The Three-Body Problem" in mid-June, and warned competitors: ""Science Fiction King" has not contacted the author and has not obtained the author's authorization, please stop serializing "The Three-Body Problem" immediately." ”

The battle between the two magazines immediately aroused the interest of science fiction fans, and thus they knew what online literature was.

There are even gray-haired old sci-fi fans, in order to catch up with updates, running to Internet cafes on crutches to learn how to surf the Internet from scratch.

There is also an online literary circle in the United States, and Fang Elbow, known as one of the "Eight Masters of Internet Literature", began to put "The Three-Body Problem" into "New Language" (online publication) for serialization. The readers of "New Silk" are mainly international students, both mainland and Wanwan, and these senior intellectuals are fans of "The Three-Body Problem" every minute, and then it is logical to spread to Wanwan.

In the entire Internet circle of the Chinese world, "The Three-Body Problem" is almost unknown to everyone.

One day, Xiao Ma suddenly called Song Weiyang: "Old Song, I found a science fiction book called "The Three-Body Problem", which is particularly powerful! I can say that this is the pinnacle of Chinese science fiction, and it is a top work in the world. ”

Song Weiyang smiled: "Then I want to read it." ”

Xiao Ma is a veteran science fiction fan, and his childhood dream was to be an astronomer. He owned an astronomical telescope when he was in junior high school, which was equivalent to four months' salary of his father, and his parents would not buy it, so Xiao Ma wrote in his diary: "Parents killed an astronomer's dream." ”

With this astronomical telescope, Xiao Ma Ge, who is still in junior high school, became the first person in the local area to see Halley's Comet, and also wrote an observation report and submitted it to the capital, earning 40 yuan in manuscript fees.

Brother Xiao Ma said: "I really want to get to know the author of "The Three-Body Problem", it's amazing!"

Song Weiyang said: "What I wrote, do you believe it?"

Brother Pony smiled: "I don't believe it." ”

Song Weiyang said: "It is true that I did not write it. ”
