Chapter 450: Undoubtedly a Huge Hit!
It is absolutely appropriate to describe "The Three-Body Problem 1" with the words "the beginning of a masterpiece".
Three objects of the same or similar mass will perform irregular and never-repeating complex movements under the action of gravity.
This "simple three-body problem" has become the center around which the entire work revolves.
Even if readers do not understand many of the physics knowledge and conjectures involved in this process, they can still get the general meaning and read it with relish.
In this work, there are too many pictures and words that are too classic, classic enough to remain in the long river of history!
Even if you are not a science fiction fan, you will feel the possibilities in the universe after reading this work.
For a long time, whether there are aliens has always been a point of debate and fantasy for humans.
In simple terms, the universe is so vast, how could it be that only the earth shields all the unfavorable factors in the universe, and the moon is a fortress that breeds intelligent life?
In complex terms, the operating laws of the planets are almost the same as those of molecules and atoms. When we observe tiny atoms from a huge perspective, there may be forces that we do not know, watching or even ignoring our world.
In the eyes of that unknown power, our planet is like an electron, and our solar system is like an atom.
That is to say, when we stare at an atom, it may be a rich world contained in it, just like the archer and the farmer in the story of "The Three-Body Problem".
As for Ye Wenjie...
For this character, most readers have the same impression.
That is, at first it seemed that all the misfortunes were imposed on her, but later it was felt that she was not a pitiful person. From the results of her actions, she is very likely to be the sinner who destroyed the earth!
But think about it carefully, can a character like Ye Wenjie stand?
There is absolutely no problem.
Ye Wenjie's actions want to subvert the entire society. In fact, in the shadow of history, many similar shadows can be found. Although human civilization has been moving forward, contradictions and ugliness have not disappeared.
Some readers find it incomprehensible because they have lived outside the house with sunshine since childhood, but have never experienced a house without sunshine, and think that the outside world is still without sunshine.
This is the limitation of cognition.
Perhaps Ye Wenjie herself did not expect that the enthusiasm of the "rebels" on Earth for the Three-Body World and the intervention of Sophon indirectly killed her own daughter, Yang Dong, who relied on physical theory as the pillar of everything.
It is precisely because of this limitation that Ye Wenjie would remain silent and even regret after learning everything about the Three-Body civilization!
...
"But now, what's the use of blaming Ye Wenjie? The Three-Body fleet has set off, how should humans respond?"
"The Three-Body civilization is really too far ahead of Earth... What should we do?!"
"To be honest, I have no idea how the old thief will write this story in the future. It will take some time before the Three-Body fleet arrives on Earth. Technology is blocked like this, and there must be a solution!"
"Really, I have never been so looking forward to such a work, never!"
Readers' expectations are maxed out by the "Three-Body" series, which is something that can be imagined.
The reason is very simple, that is, all the previous series of works by the old thief do not have the coherence of "Three-Body".
The "Sherlock Holmes" series, one story after another, rarely have plot connections between each other.
The same is true for the Harry Potter series: one book, one year, one story.
Even the martial arts trilogy is the same. Although readers are looking forward to it, it is far from the level of the current "Three-Body Problem". Everyone really wants to know how humans will deal with the invasion of the Three-Body Civilization!
...
The popularity of "Three-Body Problem" continues to ferment, and this time it is not just the reader group that is shocked!
The entire group of authors in the world of Jiuzhou, even non-science fiction authors, have joined the discussion of Three-Body Problem. Jennifer, Caesar, and Mike, who had previously battled with the old thief, have expressed their excitement on social media.
What is even more shocking is that the president of the United States and the queen of England have joined the ranks of "urging for more updates" and called "Three-Body Problem" a great work. Anyway, translated into Xiazhou dialect, it means "admiration is like a torrent of rivers."
In an instant, a novel has become the hottest topic in the whole of Jiuzhou.
Even readers who were not interested in Lao Zei or had not heard of him, after seeing this scene, became very curious about the book "The Three-Body Problem", wondering what kind of work it was that attracted so many celebrities to read it.
Could it be that a science fiction novel could really become an epic classic?
And just two days after the hot sale of "The Three-Body Problem", such a situation appeared in physics classrooms everywhere.
…
The Fourth Affiliated Middle School of Magic City.
Luo Shen is a bald physics teacher in his fifties.
When Luo Shen walked into the classroom as usual, he could clearly feel countless strange eyes in the classroom looking at him. He was so scared that he touched his shiny bald head and thought that there was something like bird shit on his head.
"What's wrong?"
"All such eyes."
Luo Shen was stunned, not knowing what happened.
At this moment, the physics class representative spoke. His eyes were not blank, but with a smile that could be understood by the whole class, "Teacher Luo."
“Does physics still exist?”
Luo Shen frowned, thinking he heard wrongly, "Huh?"
"Teacher, do you know the three-body problem?"
"Yes, Teacher Luo, can you tell us about the three-body problem?"
"Physics doesn't exist anymore, so I won't learn it anymore!"
"Ahahahaha——"
The atmosphere in the whole class suddenly boiled. The people who were really brought into the novel were naturally not normal people. However, seeing the whole class cheering so much and having a common topic, Luo Shen was a little anxious, fearing that he would be "old-fashioned" and not be able to keep up. The thinking of contemporary young people is very important for a teacher.
"Teacher Luo, don't you know "The Three-Body Problem"?"
"I seem to have heard of it somewhere...oh!"
Luo Shen suddenly remembered that just before he came to class, Teacher Wang next door had put a copy of "The Three-Body Problem" on the table and recommended Luo Shen to read it, but Luo Shen had always been interested in this kind of literature department. I don’t have any preference for my works, I just look at them when I’m free and bored.
After discussions with his classmates, Luo Shen finally understood the whole story.
In this "Three-Body" novel, it is actually said that physics does not exist?
What about gravity?
What about Fermat's principle?
I have to say that just by listening to the narrations of his classmates, Luo Shen suddenly became interested in this book, which contains a lot of physics knowledge.
After taking this class and returning to the office, Luo Shen immediately waved and said:
"Hey, Teacher Wang, lend me "The Three-Body Problem" to read."
Teacher Wang, who was preparing lessons, immediately raised his head and said with a loud smile:
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"Did your classmates tell you something weird like physics no longer exists?"
"Yes, yes, you know?"
"Well, you will know after reading it. It is a very wonderful work. Don't doubt your life."
Teacher Wang handed "The Three-Body Problem" to Luo Shen and said with a meaningful smile.
Luo Shen twisted his neck, and as soon as he opened the first two pages, he shouted, "Hey, you dare to write?"
Luo Shen has read "To Live" and "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood", and now the old thief is a national-level author. As a teacher, it is impossible not to know.
As Luo Shen read in depth, his expressions gradually became more numerous.
Teacher Wang, who was preparing lessons opposite, occasionally raised his head, saw Luo Shen's wonderful expression, smiled and shook his head.
This novel has a wide age range for the audience, whether they are fifty or fifteen years old, they can be immersed in it.
