(The number of monthly passes is so small, book friends pick it up~~)

The United Nations is indeed a lofty place for the general public, and it is a very compelling international organization, and such an organization actually stood up and helped the "Three-Body Problem" to publicize it intentionally or unintentionally, which is to affirm its international influence!

The meditation room above is V-shaped, painted beige and narrow with a protruding panel at one end covered with a mural by the Swedish artist Bo Besko. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The 9x6.5-foot mural is composed of blue, white, gray, and yellow geometric figures, with light, pure colors overlapping each other in darker tones. In the center of the room is a million-year-old piece of high-purity pig iron ore, a symbol of eternity and strength.

The ore was a gift from Sweden and was about 4 feet tall, rectangular and weighing 6 tons. There is only one beam of light shining on the ore in the house, and there is no other furnishings, which really looks peaceful!

Hammarskjöld, the second Secretary-General of the United Nations, said: "The texture of the stone forces our minds to choose between destruction or construction, war or peace. Humans made swords out of iron, plowshares out of iron, and tanks out of iron, but they also used iron to build houses. Iron ore is the wealth we inherit from this planet of ours. How do we use it?"

In the novel "Three-Body Problem 2: Dark Forest", this place is where Luo Ji thinks, and it is one of the more important scenes.

Many readers think this is just a fabrication, but the United Nations Weibo tells everyone that it is real!

This not only once again verifies the popularity of Lynham's science fiction novels, but also makes the United Nations headquarters a popular tourist attraction!

The United Nations headquarters in Manhattan, which is open to visitors from Monday to Friday, was originally just one of New York's ordinary attractions, but after releasing the widely circulated Weibo, they found that the number of Chinese visiting here suddenly increased!

Even some travel agencies have considered whether to add this new place in the past when formulating new tourist attractions, and they must innovate in tourism this year.

……

When the snow falls in New York in January, when the tour operator's bus takes a group of tourists to Manhattan to loot the southern end of Tenth Avenue, a towering skyscraper appears in front of everyone!

There are no heavily guarded three-step posts or five-step sentry gates, and more than 200 flags of Member States are fluttering in the winter wind, and curly pistols and sculptures of broken earth are eye-catching landmarks.

Although the weather is freezing, there are many Chinese tourists who come to travel, and the team of primary and secondary school students under the leadership of the teacher is particularly conspicuous.

"Where's the meditation room? I don't understand the English. A middle-aged man in a coat spoke, and after he passed the security check, he began to ask the tour guide, and he couldn't wait to find him directly.

There were also a few other people in the tour group who were eager to try it, and they bought the book "The Three-Body Problem" early, ready to take a selfie by the iron ore later, as a souvenir.

"Go up this way, at the end of the hallway. But remember our meeting time, meet here in an hour, don't forget!"

"Okay, okay, we got it!"

The group quickly dispersed, and a few people walked up the stairs, but they were surprised to find that there was a queue in the meditation room, many people with books waiting to take pictures with the stone.

"Hey, you all came here after watching the three-body problem?"

"yes, I was on exchange at the City University of New York, and I only saw the novel in the last two days, and it turned out that it was full of people. ”

"It's so annoying, you have to queue up to take a photo. ”

"What if I don't line up, I don't want to be on the same photo as anyone else, it's great!"

In the not spacious room, a girl is holding the novel of the three-body problem in her hand, smiling and looking at the camera, shouting excitedly.

Visitors to the United Nations from other places wondered why this group of Chinese was staring at this place, when there were other famous places to visit, such as the Jiuding presented by China to the United Nations and the world-famous sword-casting ploughshare.

So a handsome white guy from Norway asked the Chinese girl who was queuing up in confusion: "Sorry to disturb me, why are so many of you waiting to take a picture with a rock, is there anything special about it?"

Suddenly accosted by such a handsome young man, the girl was a little shy, but she still organized her English and replied: "It appears in our favorite novel, do you know "The Three-Body Problem"? ”

After speaking, she took the "Dark Forest" in her arms and shook it in front of her, full of pride.

"The Three-Body Problem? That science fiction novel, of course I know! God, I just finished reading the first part, is this the second part, what wonderful content is written in it?"

A Chinese, a foreigner, but they talk freely because of a book.

As the novel continues to ferment, more and more foreigners begin to sit still, and they are extremely uncalm after learning the wonderful content of the last two parts of "The Three-Body Problem" from the Internet and from life.

Why is there no English version of such a good novel? Could it be that so many readers of "The Three-Body Problem" around the world can only sit and wait in vain!

In the past, it has always been domestic users who have been delayed and treated differently, but now they have become overseas readers, and the feng shui turns to be more or less the same.

The mighty uprising on Twitter has begun, and the Penguin Publishing Group, which is responsible for Lin Han's overseas publishing, has officially laid down its guns, and there are currently more than 50,000 petitions for Penguin Publishing Group to hurry up or boycott their books!

And these lists are still increasing one after another, and netizens who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement have participated in it, and the number of people is like a snowball, 80,000, 100,000, 150,000!

These overseas readers were conquered by Lin Han's novel, "Three-Body Problem 1" finished reading, but "Three-Body Problem 2" and the English version of "Three-Body Problem 3" are still far away, even if some kind Chinese help translate the content, but this is tantamount to drinking to quench their thirst, which makes them more and more excited!

Faced with a surging readership, Penguin Publishing Group had to call for an early announcement of the progress and announced that the English versions of the two novels would be released in March, but it was only mid-January and readers didn't buy it!

Liu Yukun was also frightened, he almost accepted an impossible task, how could he translate such a magnificent masterpiece in just a month, if he translated it casually, it would ruin this series of novels, which was definitely not what any of them wanted to see!

Lin Han had to end his vacation early and join the translation work! )
