There have been two sudden sales explosions in the history of Science Fiction World magazine: one in 1995 and one in 2000.

Before 1995, the monthly circulation of Science Fiction World magazine was only 30,000 or 40,000 copies, but by 1995 it had suddenly exploded to 150,000 copies per month.

Before 1999, Science Fiction World magazine sold about 200,000 copies per month, but in 2000 it suddenly exploded to 400,000 copies per month.

This is the second time in the history of Science Fiction World that there has been a sales explosion.

Because in June 1999, "Science Fiction World" magazine published the science fiction novel "Heart Song Kuiying" by the young author Wang Lin, which is a novel about memory transplantation, and the editor-in-chief Alai also wrote a popular science article about chip implantation.

On July 7, 1999, the college entrance examination essay question came out - if the memory could be transplanted, public opinion was in an uproar, and the magazine "Science Fiction World" became famous, and many students and parents who had never heard of the magazine before ordered the magazine.

In 94, Li Xu was in high school, and he also read the news to know that there was such a science fiction magazine in China, and he was very interested in science fiction since he was a child, and he would subscribe to the magazine every issue since then, and this subscription was seven or eight years, until he graduated from college and became a physics teacher in his first year of high school, he gradually stopped the habit of subscribing.

As for why the magazine that has been subscribed for seven or eight years suddenly does not subscribe, he thinks that it may be a lack of a surprise, the magazine will still occasionally break out some fine works, but most of the time it can no longer give people that feeling of surprise, plus after work has become busy, so unconsciously no longer order.

"Mr. Li, if you are not interested in physics, will you not be able to learn physics well?"

"Of course not, for the content before college, there is nothing that is not good for studying too much."

"Teacher, were you interested in physics when you were in school? Or is it just that you can learn physics well by brushing more questions? ”

"Of course, the teacher is interested in physics, for example, since 94, the teacher has to subscribe to a magazine called "Science Fiction World" every month, which is full of science fiction stories, and the teacher's subscription is seven or eight years, until he gradually stopped subscribing after graduating from college. It is true that you can learn physics well by brushing the questions, but if you are interested in the subject, then of course it will be twice the result with half the effort. ”

"Science Fiction World? Does this magazine still exist? ”

"There should be, the teacher still subscribed a few years ago."

After class, Li Xu chatted casually with the students, and then went back to the office with the textbook.

At noon, some students wandered around the school gate, and unconsciously came to the newsstand not far from the school gate.

"What's the name of that magazine that Mr. Li said in the morning?"

"It looks like Science World!"

"What "Science World", is "Science Fiction World"!"

"Yes, yes, Science Fiction World."

"Why don't you buy a copy and read it?"

Then the students rushed to the newsstands.

"Boss, is there a Science Fiction World magazine?"

The owner is a small-eyed thin man who looks particularly shrewd.

"Yes, yes, I just arrived this morning, classmates, I told you, this magazine sells very hot, and the general newsstand can't grab it if you want to buy it, I scrapped all my strength to grab 20 copies, how about it, come to 5 copies? It's really exciting. ”

When the boss saw that there were five classmates, he immediately wanted to sell five copies at a time, and the magazine was not easy to sell, but it also had a fixed customer base, so he had to order a few fewer copies every month.

"How much does it cost?"

"Five."

"Let's come first...... Let's have a copy. ”

"Howler!"

Back in the classroom, the five students looked at the magazine for a while, and the magazine gave them the same feeling, so after reading for a while, three of them went about their own business without much interest.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the two classmates who were reading the magazine together suddenly argued.

"Don't flip so fast, I haven't finished reading it yet."

"I said you can't hurry?"

"What's the hurry?"

"Either I'll read it and you'll watch it again."

"That's not good, if you want to see it first, I'll watch it first."

"I can't go to class until I finish the afternoon class, and I can't do anything else if I have something in my heart."

"Okay, okay, I'll go buy another copy."

The other three students were stunned.

What's the situation?

Is it so pretty?

Why did you grab it?

It's pretty average, right?

The three of them had just seen it.

Students are at the age when their curiosity is at their peak, but now that someone is fighting over a magazine, and the other party would rather buy another copy than wait a little longer, everyone's curiosity has completely exploded.

Many of the students leaned over their heads and glanced at each other.

But if you don't look at it from the beginning, you can't understand it.

Fortunately, the classmate who went out to buy magazines came back, and many classmates surrounded him in an instant.

The students who had just come back from buying the magazine went straight to an article in the middle.

The students leaned over to read the title of the article: "The Moon".

……

School is out in the evening.

Many students made a beeline for off-campus newsstands.

"Boss, here's the latest "Science Fiction World", there is the novel "The Moon".

"I also have the same book, many classmates are saying that it is super good-looking, I want to see if it is real or fake."

"Does the boss have Science Fiction World magazine?"

……

The small-eyed boss is blindfolded.

"Science Fiction World" has always been a niche magazine, and it used to sell less than 20 copies a month, so what's wrong with it now?

Also, what about the novel "The Moon"?

In the blink of an eye, twenty magazines were sold out, and the boss couldn't help but regret that he had bought too little.

"I'm sorry classmates, but the magazine is gone."

"I'm sorry, but the last one was bought by the classmate just now."

"It's gone, it's really gone, and there are twenty books in total."

"Students, why are you suddenly interested in Science Fiction World today?"

"The Moon? Three issues in a row? ”

The boss's eyes rolled, and it seemed that at least next month and next month he would have to buy a few more copies of "Science Fiction World".

The next morning.

Teacher Li Xu came to the classroom as usual, and as soon as he entered the classroom, he felt that the students were more active than usual, and many students gathered in groups to discuss something fiercely.

"Clones, definitely clones, just like the cloned sheep Dolly in the book."

"So the body is seriously injured?"

"Definitely, do you need to ask?"

"Who the hell is the protagonist cloned by that? Also, why clone him? ”

"It must be a clone of the Moon Heavy Industries Group! As for why, have you ever heard of a mining disaster? This is a mining disaster that happened on the moon, and you have to lose money! I guess that if an employee dies in an accident, he will pay a lot of money, or he is afraid that the news media will affect the company's high-tech or safe and reliable image? In short, cloning the protagonist is to give an explanation to the protagonist's family and public opinion, but I didn't expect the cloned person to not die, which is troublesome. ”

"Looking at the trailer, it's going to be serialized for three issues, it's really, can't it be sent all at once?"

"After sending it once, will you still buy it in the next issue? Anyway, now that it's going to be the case, I'm definitely going to buy the next issue, and I'll have to see if I can guess it myself. ”

"You said that the clone returned to Earth, what about his wife and children? Now there are two people, but there is still only one wife and children, how to divide the two protagonists? ”

"How? Of course, I will continue to be a wife and child for the body. ”

"The clone is too miserable, for him the wife and children are his, and that's what he remembers."

A good classroom has become like a vegetable market, Li Xu couldn't help but clear his throat.

"Students, students, all be quiet, what are you all discussing, so excited?"

Then almost all the students looked at the teacher, and then many of the students held up a thin book at the same time.

"Mr. Li, the story in the latest issue of "Science Fiction World" is really exciting."

Li Xu was stunned.

"Science Fiction World?"

Students: "Yes, isn't it the teacher you said yesterday that this magazine is very good?" Then some classmates bought a copy, not to mention, it was really exciting, and then many classmates bought it. ”

"Science Fiction World" is really good, but it's not that good, right?

Li Xu shook his head with a smile, thinking: "This group of students still has little to watch, just a casual issue of "Science Fiction World" will shock them like this, if they see the most exciting issues in the past nine years, then don't be crazy!" ”

At this time, a classmate handed his magazine to Li Xu: "Teacher, the other novels in the magazine are actually average, no wonder you are gradually uncertain, but there is a novel called "Moon" in it that is really amazingly good-looking, teacher, you can also take a look, I guess you must like it too." ”

"The rest of the general ...... "Moon"? Shocking?! ”

"Is it really just a masterpiece in this issue? Wang Jinkang or Liu Cixin? ”

Li Xu took the magazine and turned directly to the place where the students folded a page, and he first looked at the name of the author of the article: Li Mu.

I haven't heard of it at all.

It doesn't seem that there is any miracle, but that the students haven't seen the real good science fiction, so that's what makes a fuss.

Li Xu smiled as if he had insight into everything.

"The school committee will send the paper down first, and everyone will continue to brush up on the questions today."

"Also, the teacher has no objection to you reading extracurricular books, but it's best not to take up class time, and everyone is still focused on studying."

Then Li Xu sat in front of the podium, and then looked at it slowly, he pondered while reading: "This group of students, an ordinary science fiction novel is excited like this, if they see the works of more than nine years - by the way, the magazines I ordered before are still there, and tomorrow I will choose the basic best ones and take them to the school, and let the students feel what real science fiction is!" The province is like a dirt bun, and they make a fuss when they see something. ”

Fifteen minutes later.

"Holy...... Without? How? Awesome! ”

Then Li Xu looked up and saw that the students who were brushing the questions were looking at him, and he immediately smiled embarrassedly and politely.

……

Almost at the same time.

Suddenly, the customer hotline of Science Fiction World Magazine was blown up.
