It doesn't matter why Chu Li hasn't released a new work for two years, what matters is that in the midst of the uproar, the latest issues of "Fantasy World" and "Science Fiction Sky" have been released.

On the one hand, it is the finale of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", and on the other hand, Chu Li's dedication to the new opening, under the promotion of the media, the already noisy situation has reached a higher level, and many practitioners can't help but sigh that science fiction has not been so hot for many years.

Although there is constant criticism, it is clear to anyone with a discerning eye that this qiē was brought by Zhang Qiuxi and her "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".

The sales of 150,000 copies of the last issue of "Fantasy World" just met the market, so this issue was still relatively cautious and did not increase the volume, while "Science Fiction Sky" was full of confidence and directly increased to this number.

In the new issue of the serialization, in addition to the last 20,000 words of serialization, Zhang Qiuxi has also added a page for interaction with readers, which is to pick out some questions from readers' letters to answer, which is a very common way of interaction.

How to leave the earth, although this question is painful, but the letters mentioning this issue are the most, so Zhang Qiuxi also had to put this question out in response, so this content appeared in the interactive section-

Recently, many readers have written to ask how to leave Earth and travel to the galaxy, thinking that this should be possible.

1. Call the CNSA (Celestial Empire National Space Agency) at 010-400-800 and explain to them the importance of getting off Earth as soon as possible.

2. If they refuse to cooperate, then call your friends who work in Zhongnanhai at 010-800-400 and ask them to deal with the people in the CNSA.

3. If you don't have any friends in Zhongnanhai, then please post online and elaborate on the necessity of leaving Earth before your next credit card bill arrives, so that netizens who have friends in Zhongnanhai may be able to help you.

4. If that fails, then you can stop a passing flying saucer yourself. Remember, the standard hitchhiking gesture is to extend your right hand, make a fist and give a thumbs up, but don't use it when you encounter a Zenith, because the Zenith gesture has the same meaning as our middle finger.

The interactive content is still in a strong novel style, and many readers can't help but laugh as if they were reading a novel, but compared to the spoof Q&A, readers are more interested in life, the universe and the answers after laughing.

The answer is 42, Zhang Qiuxi has already given it, but why 42? Even Li Yue and Hongdou, who had finished reading the novel in advance, didn't know.

"Does this still need to be asked? It is clear that it is the high school student who is a little higher than the level of elementary school students, and the author broke it out. ”

This question made Chu Li's faction find a reason to ridicule, but the readers of Zhang Qiuxi in their hearts no longer had the leisure to pay attention to those people, they formed a post bar, and discussed various details of the novel in the forum, and occasionally mixed in some words that had nothing to do were quickly drowned.

——————

"After astronomers' research and measurements, the total weight of the Milky Way is 3*10^42, which echoes the answer of 42, so Qiu Xi said in the novel that the ultimate answer is 42."

When Li Yue looked at the mobile phone and read this, Zhang Qiuxi was stunned and said, "And this stubble? How is the total weight of the Milky Way measured, this thing can't be weighed on scale, right? ”

“……”

Li Yue was also stunned for a moment, and then said: "This is the speculation of your book fans, isn't it because of this?" ”

Zhang Qiu held his forehead and said speechlessly: "Okay, I'm really only at the level of primary and secondary school students in this regard, and I didn't know there was such a statement before this." ”

"The answer to 42 ......" Li Yue had already expected that it was completely Zhang Qiuxi's nonsense, but he still didn't know what expression to put on when he was sure of it.

"Have you even forgotten your house number?" Zhang Qiuxi said this, the house number is actually a coincidence, but Li Yue didn't know, she was completely embarrassed after hearing it, I don't know what readers will think if this spreads.

After a pause, Li Yue felt that it was better not to dwell on this issue, so he said: "The next issue of the magazine will publish the restaurant at the end of the universe, and it should be very good to see this popularity, but Chu Li's new work doesn't seem to have a bad response, have you read it?" ”

"Look, only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated." Zhang Qiuxi nodded.

Under some trickery, Chu Li's painstaking masterpiece finally revealed the true face of Lushan on the front page of the new issue of "Science Fiction Sky", which is the same as previously revealed, it is a talkie, and the name is "Mechanical Public Enemy".

The story takes place in the not-too-distant future, as the climate warms, the glaciers in the North and South Poles melt, most of the Earth's cities are submerged, and humans have created highly intelligent machines to help cope with the harsh climate.

However, these intelligent people suddenly rebelled and became the biggest enemy of mankind, and human beings not only have to deal with the harsh climate, but also have to fight against the machine people, and are at an absolute disadvantage.

"In all fairness, this story is really good, not only is the background grand, the details are well described, and more importantly, the story is not so boring." When Zhang Qiuxi said this, he was already sitting in the café with Hongdou.

"This mechanical public enemy can be recognized by readers, in fact, you also have credit."

Hongdou couldn't help laughing: "In the past, Chu Li's works were also indispensable for the lengthy description and inference of scientific knowledge, according to the previous style, his story will definitely explain the various parts and principles that can only be used by people, but now many things in this regard have been weakened, focusing on the story itself, which is obviously inspired by you." ”

Chu Li wrote this because he was inspired by Zhang Qiuxi, or because he felt that he had to bow to the market, it is not known, it is certain that Chu Li is not grateful to her at all.

Zhang Qiuxi said: "I don't dare to take credit, not only did people not express their gratitude, but they scolded me more happily because the new work was affirmed." ”

The new work was very popular, and Chu Li was interviewed by reporters again, and he was still full of disdain for Zhang Qiuxi and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", for example, when he talked about the original intention of the creation of "The Public Enemy of the Machine", he said: Machine qì people are a very hot topic now, and there have been cases around the world where machine qì people replace workers. What I want to explore in this story is how to get along with each other and the moral aspects of how to get along with people who have the same intelligence as us humans are not something that high school students can imagine.

Although Zhang Qiuxi's name was not directly mentioned, it was no different from naming names, and this was nothing, there were a lot of more intense words in his interview, whenever the reporter mentioned Zhang Qiuxi, he put on a disdainful expression, and then sneered.

Chu Li's ability to say that the science fiction market is sluggish is entirely because readers don't know how to appreciate that kind of words, which has already shown that he has a lonely character with no one in his eyes, and it is not surprising that he would say this, but Zhang Qiuxi was very unhappy when he heard it.

With his words, his brain-dead fans are even more troublesome, what "Mechanical Public Enemy" is the real science fiction, Zhang Qiuxi can't write such a work in his life, and he doesn't deserve to lift Chu Li's shoes.

Red Bean said: "That's actually just his self-righteousness, the response of the mechanical public enemy is really good, but it is much weaker than the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and now the magazine has been published for two weeks, and the sales of Science Fiction Sky are only 70,000 copies, which is indeed a lot higher than before, but according to this increase, it will not sell 150,000 copies at the end of the month." ”

Zhang Qiuxi knew that the sales volume of such things decreased with the time of listing, but he didn't know how to calculate it, so he asked, "What about yours?" ”

"110,000 copies." Hongdou swung his slender index finger up and down, and said, "There are two weeks left to run out of stock is not a problem at all, and the rest is to do the next issue." The restaurant at the end of the universe has been warmed up, and readers are looking forward to it, what is your opinion on the serialization? ”

Zhang Qiuxi took a sip of coffee and said: "Now the atmosphere is so hot, Chu Li's mechanical public enemy has 20,000 words for the first time, and our word count can't be less than his, anyway, I have already conceived this series, and I won't be afraid of him." ”

Zhang Qiuxi had been entangled in whether it was inappropriate to serialize too much each time, but now that he thinks about it, the sooner the better, anyway, she copied ...... It's not hard to write at all, and if there is too little technology, it will basically take a year to complete a work, and it will be too boring to spend N years to complete a series.

She said that it was the intention of Zhenghe Magazine, and Hongdou smiled: "You don't think it's good that you don't pay attention to it, in fact, according to the current situation, of course, you have to strike while the iron is hot, the more serialized as soon as possible, the next front page has been set aside for you, and the first serialization should still be more than 30,000 words." ”

"The Restaurant at the End of the Universe" has a higher number of words, more than 100,000, and according to this frequency, three issues can also be serialized, Zhang Qiuxi thought about it and said: "Sister Hongdou, let's divide it into four issues." ”

"Okay, listen to you." Hongdou nodded, now Zhang Qiuxi's request magazine will not refuse at all, but she still asked curiously: "Can you tell me why you want to divide it into four issues?" ”

"Chu Li is so arrogant, I can't help but respond, my favorite is to slap my face."

Zhang Qiuxi smiled like a little devil, took out another manuscript from his small bag, and said: "This is a short story I just wrote, and it will be serialized together at the same time, and I am looking forward to the next issue of the magazine to be released." ”
