September 30, night.

In a hotel room outside the south gate of the National Museum.

This place is exactly where Gu Wan and his party came to Beijing this time, the location is very good, every inch of land is expensive, so the hotel is not big.

In addition to the National Museum to the north, the G-A Department and the Supreme Court are on the east, Quanjude and Donglaishun Main Store on the west, and Qianmen Street on the south.

Although the academic seminar ended the day before yesterday, Gu Wan did not leave the capital, because during the National Day, if nothing else, he had to participate in a commendation conference of the Ministry of Science and Technology, and as a representative of young scientists, he was commended.

Being able to use scientific means to make the accurate chronology of China's letter history surpass the accurate chronology of European history, this level of merit, among scientists under the age of 30, nationwide, is also rare in ten years.

Not only does Gu Wan himself have to be commended, but even other teachers and leaders in his school who have something to do with the project can also get benefits. I heard that Dean Lian Ding will also come to the capital once during the National Day to accept praise.

At this moment, it was almost 7 o'clock in the evening, Gu Play and Ma Yiyi, who were rarely dressed in the guest room, did not go out to play, but turned on the TV after a long time and tuned to a set of CCTV.

In 99, the influence of CCTV is no better than five years ago or ten years ago, after all, the Internet has been popularized for five or six years, and online video has begun to appear, and the number of people watching TV is at least two-thirds less.

But big events, real-time news, or watching TV.

"Husband, you are amazing, I am so lucky to be able to witness this with you. ”

Gu Yu's hands tightened: "What is powerful?"

Ma Yiyi blushed: "You're bad! You're all powerful! Okay, didn't you just ...... Wait to watch TV, don't make a fuss. ”

The couple laughed for a while, and on the TV, the familiar BGM and lines sounded at 7 o'clock sharp.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. ”

"Good evening. ”

"Today is Thursday, September 30th, August 21 of the lunar calendar, welcome to the news series. ”

"First of all, I would like to introduce you to the main content of today's program: ......"

Then there was a series of big news about the leader, and it wasn't until the last piece of the main content that Gu Wan and Ma Yiyi became nervous.

“…… The Ninth Five-Year Plan of the National WU Academy and one of the key projects of the Ministry of Science and Technology during the Ninth Five-Year Plan period, the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasty Project, has recently made a major breakthrough. Please check in for details......"

Ma Yiyi clenched Gu Wan's arm, staring at the screen and not daring to blink.

Gu Wan knew the specific content of the back, because he personally appeared as the filming material, and he was interviewed yesterday. And Ma Yiyi is not qualified to be interviewed, she can only watch the details with ordinary audiences now.

The first 20 minutes were all big news, until 7:20, when we started to enter that five-minute small feature.

At the beginning, the leaders of the Ministry of Science and Technology, as well as the relevant responsible persons of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, showed their faces at the beginning, and they were nothing more than talking about the successful completion of the tasks of the Ninth Five-Year Plan and the gift of gifts to the National Day.

After about 1 minute of good news, it is the report and display of the results of the researchers. The people in the history group and the archaeology group were divided into 1 minute, and the team of physics experts on the natural science side were divided into 3 minutes.

After all, the main and decisive factor in this credit is the invention of the latest AMS mass spectrometer by physicists. The results of other historical studies in the pile of old papers are all clichés, so it is also appropriate to give physicists more time.

During the program, there were also several CCTV reporters who faced the sharp questions raised by Gu Wan.

"Why can China take the lead in developing AMS technology?

Gu Wan's answer in the show was very appropriate: "They have also made relevant arguments, but scientific research institutions in different countries, according to previous estimates, believe that the development of AMS requires a budget ranging from 70 million to 80 million to 100 million US dollars, and they feel that this project is unprofitable, so they have not developed it."

As for why China took the lead in developing it, I think we should first of all thank our great social attention system and the advantage of being able to concentrate on doing great things. The Ministry of Science and Technology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the University of Science and Technology have all invested great determination.

In the process of research, we stumbled upon some technical paths that broke through the inherent technical biases, greatly reduced the cost, and finally succeeded in developing the project with a budget of more than 30 million US dollars.

However, I think the most important thing is the superiority of the social system that focused on doing great things at the beginning. Without the determination to concentrate on doing great things, there will be no follow-up exploration. ”

Gu Wan's words were sincere, because he was not a businessman, but a scientist.

It's still the kind of mad scientist and experimental scientist in the "Civilization" series of games who spend a lot of money to "grab the spectacle and fight for the victory of science and technology".

People's livelihood and making money are none of his business.

So, of course, he felt from the bottom of his heart that social attention was the most incomparably superior. Capital attention dog wants to fight with us for those scientific research that don't come to money, how can it be possible.

Even if the Yankees occasionally fight, they are still fought by people who are openly under the banner of capital attention and secretly follow the path of the central plan.

Because Gu Play is consistent and true, the effect of his on-site show is naturally very good. It's not at all like other posing scientists, which gives people the feeling of acting.

Even many viewers who usually think that official news programs are hypocritical, after seeing Gu Wan's statement, they actually feel resonance. Even before the news ended, Gu Wan's achievements caused heated discussions on the Internet again, and also attracted countless tap water.

In the end, Gu Wan himself appeared in a total of 2 minutes and 36 seconds (including those shots with his picture, but no simultaneous sound, and a voiceover commentary by the announcer).

Ma Yiyi is holding the stopwatch function on her mobile phone and pinching the watch accurately. Every time she broke through a new half-minute mark, she was so excited that she couldn't help but shiver a little more, as if she had lost it.

……

Ma Yiyi just accompanied Gu to play, and spent a few days in the capital as a fairy couple with double stays and double F, and spent the most glorious moment of commendation with him.

It wasn't until the fourth day of the National Day holiday that the two flew back to Ark City.

Because the National Day holiday hasn't ended yet, the two of them haven't gone home during the summer vacation, and they have been busy working overtime, so they really should spend a few days going home to visit relatives.

As for why Ma Yiyi's hometown is in Yongcheng, why she came to Ark City for a vacation, it is indeed difficult to explain. The forcible explanation she gave was that she wanted to be with her sister during the National Day, and Gu Yu didn't bother to expose her.

Back in Ark City, the first time he saw his relatives, Gu Yu was surrounded by his mother, cousin and sister.

Even relatives and friends such as Auntie's family and Aunt Li also came to the door to see the excitement.

Originally, although Gu Play already had a capital of more than 20 million US dollars, only his mother and sister knew the details.

As for the relatives who are a little farther away, it is impossible to know the specific number, because Gu Play is very low-key, and he never takes out too much money for personal luxury, and there is no flaw in life.

However, the last news series was still in a five-minute feature with a full two and a half minutes of character interviews, which was different.

To put it mildly, this glory is no less than making tens of millions of dollars.

Starting from his elementary school classmates, to his college classmates, as well as their relatives and friends, they will proudly say: "My family is whoever is whoever, and there is a classmate who is Gu Play." ”

No one knows the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains.

Sister Li Shuangye was the most excited, and as soon as her brother came home, she caught him as soon as she came home, dragged him back to the study and whispered the good news:

"Brother, you don't know, your book "The Order of Time" has been officially published for three months, and it has been selling well, and many of your blog fans have cheered for it, and the first printing of 50,000 copies was barely sold out during the summer vacation.

As a result, the 50,000 copies printed for the second time in September were sold out in just over two weeks, but the remaining 43,000 copies were sold out in the four days of the National Day. The publisher is now in a hurry to find a printing house to reprint. You go back and look at your blog followers, it has risen by hundreds of thousands a day, and it has easily exceeded 2 million. ”

Gu Play occasionally posts popular science articles and updates on his blog, but in fact, it is the tool man's sister who helps him take care of it, and he doesn't have that much time at all, at best, he occasionally provides some ideas and inspiration.

As for the popular science monograph he started writing during the winter vacation, after the manuscript came out, his sister and Aunt Li were also worried about the work in the follow-up distribution and publicity process. Gu Wan was busy with more important things, and he didn't care about the results frequently, so before he was on the news series this time, he didn't know what the data was.

Gu Yu was still a little surprised by this achievement: "Is it so awesome? There are several ordinary people who are on the news every day, and there are thousands of them in the whole country in a year, and I haven't seen anyone sell well."

Media people who publish books across the country, and bestsellers who sell hundreds of thousands of books, will definitely not appear in hundreds of copies a year. ”

Li Shuangye: "But you have a degree of topicality and contrast, do you understand how media hotspots ferment." Young scientists under the age of 20 still really reflect the superiority of our society in paying attention to the country's scientific research, or break through the inherent technical prejudices of the scholars, and they are still so handsome.

These four points, each of which is taken out, are eye-catching topics, not to mention the four of them. This time, the National Science Press directly added 500,000 copies, and there were also overseas editions and foreign publishers, with a total of 200,000 copies. In addition, before this, foreign publishing houses have also sold 150,000 copies, and if you add them all up, you can easily exceed one million sales this year. ”

Gu Yu was slightly surprised: "Before the news broadcast, the sales of my book "The Order of Time" in China were not as good as those overseas?"

Li Shuangye sighed: "That's no way, the Chinese are more pragmatic." People who study science and scientific knowledge are counting on these things to make money.

After all, foreigners have money and there are many people who do not worry about their livelihood, although their basic science results are generally worse than those of Chinese, but they can't stand up to the wrongs and there are many people who buy and watch and play. From the point of view of national interest, we will definitely lose. ”

If you write a book for money, even if you write a serious work, it is better to rely on success in learning.

Chinese people have strong reading ability, but they are also very purposeful.

Gu Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness, remembering the curse that Professor Barov had when he was refuted by him, and when he persuaded him to abandon the light and go to the dark.

Forget it, don't think about it.

Fortunately, Gu Play is forced to engage in popular science by the steel seal of system thinking, even if he doesn't get money, he can't TJ. (But Gu Yu doesn't know, a certain creator can't do it.) ）

Li Shuangye quickly diverted the topic and talked about royalties, dispelling the unpleasantness just now.

"If we can sell out 600,000 copies in China this year, plus the overseas part, more than 300,000 copies before and after. You can get more than a dozen yuan in royalties for a domestic book, and about seven or eight dollars for an overseas version. All of them add up, the total remuneration of your book can be 4 million US dollars, although it is not as good as your scientific research, but it is equivalent to half of the scientific research income. ”

This figure is about the same as the salary of Carl Sagan in the first year when he wrote the first science fiction film on Earth.

Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time", the first year of remuneration can be higher.

However, after all, Gu Play was at the right time and injected water. At least half of the domestic sales are driven by hot current affairs hype. As for the overseas part, it is estimated that Fuso people account for half of the entire overseas market, so it is also moisture, not the real strength of Gu Play.

In terms of true strength, Gu Yu estimates that he is now one-third of the level of Huo Jingang when he debuted on the earth.

There is still a long way to go.

Fortunately, for Gu Wan, the gain is not only fame and manuscript fees, but also the power of faith in the ideological steel seal.

Hearing that he had made such a great contribution to the great cause of popular science and the spread of scientific beliefs, the ideological seal in his brain loosened a little again, making his thinking clearer and clearer, and a lot of scientific and technological data became easier to recall.

It seems that you don't have to kill a speculative dog every time to unlock a new technology detail, as long as you keep doing the right thing for the sky and keep your original intention, you can get the reward of the Thought Steel Seal.

After all, he also made at least millions of Chinese change their belief in science this time, and perhaps hundreds of thousands of them can be determined to devote themselves to scientific research, which is also a great merit.

"I originally planned to go to the exchange next year, and then set up a GPS navigation outsourcing software company with Yiyi, and then engage in drones. I don't know if I can directly unlock this scientific and technological information......"

Gu Yu naturally thought of this aspect first, but after desperately retrieving his mind, he didn't get anything.

However, he is not surprised.

"It seems that the specific commercial engineering application technologies are not included in the database that I traveled with at the beginning, because these technologies are used to make money, not to engage in basic scientific research. ”

"Let's find out if there's any more basic science and technology that can be unlocked...... Deep learning algorithms, artificial intelligence, convolutional neural networks, ...... Well, there are these, but they seem to be a bit mathematical. Although it will be useful to engage in intelligent driving and unmanned X series in the future, it is not in line with my major. ”

"Let's look for a professional counterpart technology that can be used as my master's graduation topic, just pay for graduation first, and by the way, earn a little more fame and manuscript fees. ”

Gu Yu stayed alone in his study, I don't know how long he was distracted, but fortunately, everyone in the family didn't bother him until the big scientist often wandered, let alone treat him as a mental patient.
