Chapter 286 Well-deserved No.1

If the two-way foil's dimensionality reduction blow was the last line of defense for Buck, then the words "Death and Immortality" made him completely give up the idea of ​​resistance.

Although Buck didn't watch the third part of "The Three-Body Problem", from Yan Shanqing's narration, he already basically knew the general setting of the third part.

What is death?

The Grim Reaper represents death, which means that the tone of the third part is pessimistic and cruel!

It will crush all hopes of seeing a happy ending in the first two films
In the past, Luo Ji tried his best to build a dark forest as a deterrent, but later, human beings slack and innocence were completely destroyed!
Then there is Yun Tianming's painstaking efforts to deliver information to point out the essentials of survival, and there is also human arrogance and arrogance that can't explain the secrets of fairy tales!

Even if Vader does not hesitate to ruin his reputation and abandon his humanity to develop a light-speed spaceship and aim for the vast universe, he cannot resist human beings' greed for peace and happiness, and Cheng Xin suffers from the Virgin Mary's disease and misses the opportunity to escape!

In the end, some people said that Zhang Beihai had endured for many years, and Chu Yan tried his best to turn the tide and leave behind the fire of human civilization, but in the end, it was still difficult to escape the decline of the universe, and the blow of dimension
Everything points to the final ending of the earth!

destroy!

Buck didn't read the ending, and Yan Shanqing's explanation was also ambiguous, but he understood that with those four words, not only all classes would be wasting their work, but the Three-Body Culture would be busy, and all civilizations in the universe would be working for nothing!
The dark forest reveals the laws of the universe, and the eternal life of death reveals the ultimate destiny of the universe!
The repeated blows of the dark forest will cause the universe to go from singularity to singularity, and finally to death. The magnificence of civilization is just a ripple in time and space.

Compared with it, the destruction of the earth, the destruction of the three bodies, or the destruction of the higher singer civilization that I envisioned are really too low-level. What they set is that the destination of the entire universe will go to death. This imagination, this ending!

Really bold!
And there are no flaws in this setting, because death is the inevitable trend of all things, whether it is natural extinction or war extinction, no matter how advanced your civilization is, if even the universe is dying, who can survive?

Therefore, everything will pass away, only death will live forever!
"Mr. Yan, I apologize for my previous remarks. After the evaluation is over, I want to see the original manuscript of the third part!"

Buck put away the anger and arrogance on his face, and turned to Yan Shanqing with a sincere tone, and made a request.

Although he is a bit regional, a good work is a good work. When he sees a novel that can be called a world classic, Buck will also look at it with appreciation and put away his little thoughts.

In fact, if Buck really wanted to be tough, he still had a chance. After all, the third part of "The Three-Body Problem" was not an entry, but after he knew the follow-up setting, he really couldn't continue to pick the bones.

This is the difference between a literati and a politician!
Politicians do whatever it takes to achieve their ultimate goals, and they will only admit cowardly if they put a gun on their necks. Dealing with literati is much easier, just cover your face with good works.
"No problem, Mr. Barker. I'll send it to you by email as soon as it's over. Forget it, I've already asked the secretary to print it out. Let's read the manuscript then."

After seeing Buck's attitude, Yan Shanqing didn't say anything more, everyone apologized, and he would be too petty if he wanted to hold on to him any longer.

Giving the printed manuscript to Buck means that Yan Shanqing's attitude has also changed for the better. He knows how tiring it is to read the third part on the computer. Compared with them, the elderly prefer to read paper manuscripts .

"Then thank you, Mr. Yan. By the way, I have to trouble you to contact the author. I want to publish the entire series of the three parts of "Three-Body Problem", which requires the authorization of the original author!"

Buck thanked him, and said another idea. He was expressing his apology and wanted to use the resources of cultural and educational organizations to help distribute "The Three-Body Problem" abroad.

Of course, this is also a win-win situation!

"Okay, I will contact Tianhong, it should not be a big problem."

Yan Shanqing agreed straight away, it was beneficial to his own side, he had no reason to refuse, and Chen Tianhong would not refuse if he thought about it.

After the two discussed, Buck looked at the time, and it was almost noon.

So he tapped on the table.

"Let's stop talking about "The Three-Body Problem" here, and then let's talk about the third book, "The Temperature of Life."

Ten minutes later, the discussion on the interpretation and analysis of "The Temperature of Life" was over. Compared with "God Wants to Think" and "The Three-Body Problem", this novel has undoubtedly become a foil.

Brooke didn't say anything unnecessary. The quality of the book is here, and struggling is meaningless. Besides, he hasn't fully recovered from the dimensionality reduction blow of "The Three-Body Problem".

He even whispered to Yan Shanqing during the period that when he sent the manuscript, he also sent him a copy, and he wanted to read it too.

Next is the voting session for the works. The rule is that there are three novels together, and each committee member only has one vote!

In the end, the one with the most votes was No.1 in this youth literature competition, the one with the second most votes was No.2, and the third was No.3.

Without any suspense, "The Three-Body Problem" received the highest number of votes and was supported by most of the committee members. Even many writers from the Western camp voted for it.

"God Wants to Think" won No.2, and No.3 was "The Temperature of Life".

"Mr. Yan, congratulations, I'm looking forward to seeing that young man at the awards ceremony a week later."

After the evaluation results came out, Buck got up and congratulated Yan Shanqing.

"Congratulations, Mr. Yan. I also want to meet this young man. My old friend Dryden has mentioned him more than once, saying that he likes his short story very much."

"Hehe, the last person on earth was sitting alone in the room, and suddenly remembered the knock on the door. Very interesting! A new star in the science fiction world is rising!"

Brook also got up and said that Dryden in his mouth was the president of the England Writers Association, had met Chen Tianhong once, and his student Charles had even competed with Chen Tianhong.

It was just that he was tortured by Chen Tianhong. At that time, Charles was unconvinced and wanted to come again with Chen Tianhong in this competition. For this reason, he carefully prepared a science fiction novel, but his work did not even enter the top .

Not to mention the comparison with Chen Tianhong's "Three-Body Problem", and I don't know whether he can maintain his arrogance when I see Chen Tianhong next time.

"congratulations"

"Mr. Yan, send me a copy of the "Three-Body Problem" too!"

"Give me one too."

The committee members gathered around, saying congratulations while asking Yan Shanqing for the manuscript.

Yan Shanqing accepted the congratulations from the committee members one by one, and agreed to the committee members' requests without hesitation. His laughter kept echoing in the huge conference room.

That laughter was unusually hearty, reassuring, and refreshing. If the secretary was here, he would definitely sigh from the bottom of his heart.

Old Yan hasn't laughed so happily in many years!

This is understandable, Huaxia has not won the first place in the youth competition for many years, for Yan Shanqing, let alone laughing happily, he even wants to drink cups and get drunk!

If he knew Li Bai's poems in his previous life, I think he would shout loudly at this moment, life must be full of happiness, don't let the gold bottle empty to the moon!

It happened to be noon, so the group of them went to the restaurant. This was Yan Shanqing's first visit to the restaurant in the past two days, and he ate in the office the rest of the time.

The funny thing is that Yan Shanqing didn't eat much for this lunch, and almost all his time was spent chatting with people.

But a good mood is the most important thing, and eating is a secondary thing.

When he returned to the office, Yan Shanqing did not delay, and arranged for the secretary to type up dozens of copies of the third part of "Three-Body Problem" and send them to the committee members.

But his eyes were fixed on the phone. Now he had an urge to pass this good news back to China, so that the president of the Writers Association, Zhu Yanlin, Zou Yingde, etc., would also be happy.

Fortunately, he also knew that there was a time difference between the two sides of the strait, and it was early morning in China, so he had to wait until evening to make a call.

Yan Shanqing, who was happy, had nothing to do for the time being, so he planned to revisit "The Three-Body Problem" again, starting from the first part this time.

After the evaluation results of the competition works came out, the cultural and educational organization's official website immediately announced the list of award-winning works, including the list of the previous top works.

The content of the novel has not been announced, and it will take a few days for this to be sold.

The White House, the Oval Office!
Besley sat on the chair, looking at the paper in his hand from time to time, and staring at the laptop on the table from time to time.

That serious look made many White House staff praise the president's professionalism. He even used his lunch break to work. What a good president!
However, everyone knows that this dedicated president is not busy with work, he is reading the third volume of the science fiction novel "Three-Body Problem".

The paper in his hand is the translated English version, and the Chinese version is on the computer screen.

The reason why Besley read it mixedly was because he was afraid that some wonderful passages would be lost in the translated manuscript, so he had to compare it with the original manuscript.

He happened to see the most exciting part of the plot he was currently watching, and the dimensionality reduction strike that Yan Shanqing said was coming!

It's not that Besley reads slowly, it's because of his identity that he can't have a lot of free time to read novels like Yan Shanqing.

Being able to see this is the result of Besley's hard work in taking time.

"Hide yourself well, clean up well, the super-civilized singer who can sing is very interesting! Two-way foil, well, this should be more powerful than the water droplets of the Trisolarans!"

Besley turned his gaze to the computer screen.

Since it is guessed that it is a two-way foil that is more powerful than water droplets, the following scene must be shocking, so it is a good choice to read the original manuscript, even if it will slow down the reading speed.

Twenty minutes later, exclamations sounded in the office.

"Oh my god! Dimensionality reduction attack, the entire solar system will become a painting. Compared with our military strategic attack, it is simply the gap between mortals and gods!"

After the shock, the person who made Besley also feel toothache woke up f*cking again!

That's right, it's Our Lady of Cheng!
Here she comes, and she comes again with the halo of the Virgin Mary!
Unlike the previous awakening, Cheng Xin and her assistant, classmate AA, woke up on a spaceship, which was the latest generation of spaceship manufactured by her company.

Cheng Xin also learned from the staff that the solar system is about to become two-dimensional, and they have less than ten days left!

The spacecraft is loaded with various cultural relics, and its destination is Pluto, where there is a museum of human civilization. Humans hope that one day in the future, a super civilization can restore the three-dimensional image of the solar system, so that human culture will not be in the universe. All annihilated!

And there was another person waiting for them there, his name was Luo Ji!
After arriving at Pluto, Cheng Xin and the others saw a black obelisk, and also saw the extremely old Luo Ji!

Luo Ji said, Do you really think you are in a museum?No, this is just a tombstone, a human tombstone!
Why do you say that, because it is impossible for all literature and cultural relics to be preserved forever, even with the current high-tech means of human beings, they can only be preserved for a few million years!

There is only one way to keep it going for a long time, reaching million years!
Luo Ji raised his crutch above his head, his white hair and long beard fluttering, and solemnly shouted:

【Carve the words on the stone! 】

"Human tombs engrave words on stone. oh my god!"

These words made Besley gasp again.

Engraving words on stones is the oldest way but the longest way to preserve information!
The reason why Besley was amazed was because he thought that human civilization is constantly progressing to promote faster progress. Countless miracles have given birth to even greater miracles. Human beings today are almost like gods to the ancients. the power of!

But in the end, they suddenly discovered that even though they have 5000 years of inheritance, when they look back, they realize that the real power is actually in the hands of time. It is more difficult to leave footprints than to create the world. At the end of this civilization, what they can do is still It's something that ancient babies did.

What's even more sad is that even in the distant future, if some aliens see the classics of human civilization carved on stones, their fate will probably be the same as that of our ancient hieroglyphs and oracle bone inscriptions, which no one can understand!

Perhaps, human beings don't expect anyone to understand it at all. After all, what if a civilization that is about to die can survive?

Therefore, Besley can understand what Luo Ji said, this is not a museum.

Because the museum is for people to see, but the tombstone is for yourself!
"Human civilization is about to perish, and all traces will be erased in front of time, so the power stronger than time is death. Perhaps, the eternal life of the god of death refers not only to human beings, but also to the destination of all civilizations."

Besley murmured his guess in a low voice.

Just as he was about to continue looking down to see what the God of Death represented, there was a knock on the door.

He swiftly put the manuscript back in the drawer, switched the computer screen to the working interface, and then spoke.

"Please come in!"

Walking in was a western beauty, his social secretary, Doris!

"Mr. President, there is something I think I should tell you."

"what's up?"

"I just got the news from the cultural and educational organization that the final result of this year's International Youth Literature Competition has come out."

"Oh? Which one is No.1?"

Besley's voice was a little louder, and he hoped it was "Three-Body Problem", but he couldn't say that.

"Mr. President, Mr. Huaxia Guohongwen's "Three-Body Problem" won No.1."

When she said this, Doris' voice was also filled with joy!

Since the president recommended her to read "Three-Body Problem", this one has also become one of the book fans.

"Well, No. 1 in The Three-Body Problem, well deserved!! Ms. Doris, I'll give you a mission to adjust my itinerary for a week in advance. I'm going to the cultural and educational organization's awards ceremony!"

Hearing the president's words, Doris was taken aback for a moment, but soon she realized it.

"Okay, Mr. President, I will arrange it!"

She agreed very readily, because Doris also wanted to meet the author of "Three-Body Problem", that outstanding young man!

 Thanks to the book friend 140624004542117 for the reward and the monthly ticket, thank Xixi Yangyang for the support of the 4 monthly tickets, thank you for being a killer of Mo's feelings, and Wangjiang Hanyue for the monthly ticket support!Thank you for your votes and subscriptions!
