Chapter 20 The Evil 996 Iron Law
[Reader Zhong Li has been urging you to update your work "The Three-Body Problem" and can't wait to see an update. He has earned 5000 urging points!]
Eh? ! !
Zhongli is reading the novel I wrote?
Luo Xiao, who was investigating the clues about 'Xiao Xiao' with Navia, was suddenly startled by the system's notification sound.
In order not to miss any important information, Luo Xiao set the system messages to read-only for important messages.
In other words, when a notification of more than 500 update requests appears, the system will automatically send the information to Luo Xiao's mind. As for messages with only 10 or so update requests, they will only be received in the message email.
"Hey? Luo Xiao, what's wrong?" Navia's voice was gentle and full of concern. Her fingers lightly touched his shoulder, as light as a leaf touching water. "Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to rest for a bit?"
Luo Xiao raised his head slightly, a resolute glint in his eyes. Despite his lingering fatigue, his voice remained firm: "It's nothing. I just probably didn't get enough rest at the hotel last night. I'll be fine after a while."
Navia frowned slightly. She felt that Luo Xiao acted this way because he felt his sense of responsibility was as heavy as a mountain.
Navia was worried that Luo Xiao's health might not be up to the task, given that he was unwell and had come to accompany her on the investigation.
Her voice carried a hint of gentleness: "Hmm... Luo Xiao, although you are our detective, you don't have to work so hard all the time. I heard from Ou Fu yesterday that these manuscripts are enough for us for now, so we don't need to rush."
A hint of gratitude flashed in Luo Xiao's eyes. He was grateful for Navia's concern. He nodded gently and accepted her suggestion: "Okay, then let's take a short rest."
A satisfied smile spread across Navia's face. She took Luo Xiao's hand, and the two headed towards the nearby park together.
They found a bench, and Navia sat next to Luo Xiao, the two of them side by side. She took out a copy of the Steambird Newspaper's novel column from her bag and gently spread it out: "Let's take a break first, and at the same time take a look at 'Xiao Xiao's' novel in this second issue of the newspaper. Maybe we can find some clues in it."
Miles and Silver also found seats opposite them. Their expressions were focused and serious, each holding a newspaper in their hands, their eyes scanning the words like searchlights, looking for the key to solving the puzzle.
Half an hour later, a hint of confusion appeared between Myles's brows.
His gaze fell on the slightly wrinkled newspaper, where the sentence "Destroy human tyranny, the world belongs to the Trisolarans" seemed like a riddle, challenging his comprehension.
He looked up at Luo Xiao, the detective known for his wisdom within the Thorn Rose Society.
“Mr. Luo Xiao,” Miles’s voice held a hint of confusion as he tapped the edge of the newspaper lightly with his fingers, “what is your opinion on this human rebellion? Why are they praying for extraterrestrial power to conquer their race?”
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiao put down her teacup, adjusted her frameless glasses, and looked through Miles's confusion.
“Imagine,” his voice was calm yet powerful, “in a world where you have to work day after day, year after year, following the ironclad rule of 996, where even the most basic rest is a luxury, and wages are suffocatingly low, wouldn’t you yearn for an external force to overturn all of this?”
Luo Xiao's words were not only an interpretation of the novel's plot, but also a profound reflection on his own past life experiences.
Before he transmigrated to the continent of Teyvat, he was also a college graduate exploited by the ruthless capitalist machine. Those capitalists paid him as little as possible and always wanted their employees to work overtime. They wouldn't even give them a holiday for the Lantern Festival.
Back then, he was forced to spin like a gear every day until he traveled to the continent of Teyvat, where he felt an unprecedented sense of ease and leisure.
Therefore, when writing "The Three-Body Problem", he included a lot of his own opinions in it to vent his dissatisfaction with those capitalists.
As Miles listened to Luo Xiao's words, a strange sense of resonance welled up in his heart.
He thought of his boss, Navia, the young lady of the Rose Society, who never asked her subordinates to work overtime, even when the Rose Society was in trouble.
Even during the most difficult times for the Rose Society, Navia did not allow her subordinates to implement the 996 work schedule described in the book.
He might be able to tolerate being in that kind of environment for a short time, but if he were in such a repressive environment for a long time, it would be difficult for anyone to avoid mental problems.
As far as Miles knew, even the clockwork mechanisms in Fontaine would be allowed to rest after working for several hours, otherwise the original components inside would not be able to withstand the strain and would be completely destroyed.
Their gaze returned to the newspaper; the words were no longer just stories, but reflections of life and explorations of human nature.
Everyone who received a newspaper continued reading:
With a series of revelations, the veil of mystery surrounding the Trisolaran organization on Earth was finally lifted. Ye Jie revealed that a large amount of communication data about the Trisolaran world was stored on a giant ship called the "Judge." Therefore, in order to seize this valuable Trisolaran information and destroy the Trisolaran organization led by Musk, the leaders of the International Alliance adopted the "Guzheng Project" proposed by Da S.
As the giant ship "Judgment" passed through the waterway, a thick plume of smoke billowed from the hole cut open by the nanofilaments. The ship, which had been sailing straight along the right bank, turned and, trailing a plume of smoke, quickly crossed the river and crashed into the left bank.
Wang Sanshui witnessed it all. He saw the giant ship crash onto the bank, its bow violently deforming as it swept away the earthen slope like a wave, creating rolling waves of earth. This meticulously planned attack not only marked the end of a crucial chapter in the Three-Body Organization's history but also added a tense and exciting episode to the entire story.
……
As the story unfolds, the scene described in the book seems to appear before all readers.
Their eyes followed every leap of the word, every unfolding of the sentence, and their emotions rose and fell with it. The words on the newspaper seemed to come alive, turning into vivid scenes.
In the midst of the tense situation, the Judgment began to disintegrate in a shocking manner, breaking into more than forty thin pieces, each half a meter thick. These enormous fragments, viewed from a distance, resembled a series of floating thin plates. As these massive pieces slid and rubbed against each other, they emitted a sharp, eerie sound, as if countless giant fingers were scraping across a glass surface.
As the unbearable screams faded, the Judgment had become a pile of thin sheets on the shore. These sheets, seemingly soft as cloth, rapidly deformed, eventually forming a complex structure that made it hard to believe they had once been part of a giant ship.
……
When readers of Teyvat reached this point, they were all shocked.
It's amazing that an author could conceive of such a novel idea and describe it.
The idea of cutting a giant ship into countless pieces with fine threads is simply amazing.
Fontaine, Fontaine-on-the-rails boat.
"This description is so vivid!" a young reader couldn't help but exclaim, his imagination completely ignited.
“Imagine that scene!” another reader exclaimed excitedly, his gestures seemingly tracing the trajectory of the giant ship in the air.
On the entire patrol ship, everyone was immersed in the story, their emotions fluctuating with the plot, and their discussions rising and falling.
When Ofini, the guide of the Fontaine-Cruise Ship, saw this description, she was so frightened that her two furry ears drooped down, and she covered her head with her two short hands, trying her best not to think about the scene described in "The Three-Body Problem" that she had just seen.
The description inside filled her with fear. She was afraid that the patrol ship she was in charge of would also be cut into countless pieces with fine threads, just like described in the book.
She decided that after get off work today, she would ask her superiors to arrange for the patrol mechanism to patrol the shipping route in order to prevent her ship from being cut in half with fine wire.
Just thinking about that scene is terrifying.
