After rebirth, I became a great writer.

Chapter 240 Dark Forest
Zhu Yanlin's words made Zou Yingde both confused and surprised.

What puzzled him was that he didn't understand the meaning of "Dark Forest". What surprised him was that Zhu Yanlin thought that "Three-Body Problem" could win No.1.

It is true that the plot of "The Three-Body Problem" is very exciting, but it is an international competition!

Almost all well-known young writers in the world will participate, and it is undoubtedly very difficult to stand out among them.

Zou Yingde felt that it was a bit exaggerated for him to be able to win the top three, but Zhu Yanlin did not expect to be even more exaggerated.

"President Zhu, what do you mean by the second part called Dark Forest?"

After thinking about it, Zou Yingde felt that there must be a reason for Zhu Yanlin to say this, and the reason probably fell on the first half of the sentence.

"Hehe, Lao Zou, when Tianhong was writing a new work, he talked with me about the setting, which is the view of the universe in the book."

Zhu Yanlin told Zou Yingde about the content of the chat that day.

After listening, Zou Yingde finally understood why Zhu Yanlin said such a thing.

Every novel has a setting of the world view, which is actually similar to the universe view, but the universe view is more focused on physics, which is generally only seen in science fiction novels.

What Chen Tianhong said to Zhu Yanlin last time included both physics and moral philosophy, but the viewpoint of the dark forest was too cold.

But it is undeniable that this setting can definitely catch the reader's psychology at once.

I believe that all sci-fi fans have an idea in their hearts, if alien civilizations really exist, is there a common moral code in the universe?
The answer given by "Three-Body" is yes, and it is a civilized universe with almost zero morality.

So how can a moral human civilization survive in such a universe?

Or, can it survive?

Therefore, the first part of "The Three-Body Problem" "Earth's Past" is just the tip of the iceberg, and the entire 20 words is just a foreshadowing. This is why Zou Yingde conservatively gave the top three after reading this book.

But after listening to the follow-up settings, he has enough confidence.

"I'm now worried about whether this kid Tianhong can write the next part in the remaining time. I heard from you that the first part has 20 words, and the next part is estimated to be more."

Zhu Yanlin sighed, he was a little worried, it was less than a month before submitting his work.

"President Zhu, Tianhong can finish the first part in more than a week. I think the rest is fine. Young people's handwriting speed is not the same as ours!"

"It really doesn't work, we can give him a few more days, at worst, let the translation team work overtime to translate."

Zou Yingde was not like Zhu Yanlin, he believed in Chen Tianhong's hand speed.

"I hope so! Old Zou, keep an eye on the translation and translate the first part of "The Three-Body Problem" as soon as possible, trying to restore the original meaning of the novel."

Zhu Yanlin exhorted.

Zou Yingde agreed wholeheartedly. He checked the time, and it was already 06:30, and they chatted for more than an hour unconsciously.

Seeing the tired look on Zhu Yanlin's face again, Zou Yingde got up and left knowingly.

After Zou Yingde left, Zhu Yanlin thought about it, and took out his mobile phone to call Chen Tianhong. His worries were not completely let go.

When Chen Tianhong received the call, he was eating in the cafeteria. Regarding Zhu Yanlin's worries, he directly assured him.

"Tianhong, President Zhu Yanlin called just now?"

Yu Zhijie heard Chen Tianhong's call, and he asked excitedly.

"Well, ask me about the "Three-Body Problem", what's wrong?"

Seeing Chen Tianhong's calm face and indifferent tone, the veins on Yu Zhijie's forehead bulged, and he almost couldn't hold back his swearing.

What's the matter, that's the vice president of the headquarters of the Writers Association, a "literary hero" in the world!The idol of countless people!

If Yu Zhijie could receive Zhu Yanlin's call and jump up happily in the cafeteria regardless of his image, but looking at Chen Tianhong's expression, he really deserves a beating!
In fact, Yu Zhijie didn't know that this was not the first time Chen Tianhong had talked to Zhu Yanlin, so he really didn't need to be so excited.

"Tianhong, did President Zhu call to remind us?"

Gao Wanfeng also asked curiously.

"No, President Zhu is worried that I won't be able to write the second part before the competition. By the way, Lao Gao, I won't go to the evening self-study during this period. I'm going back to the dormitory to write a novel. It's up to you to sign in."

"It's all trivial, as long as you can write the second half of "The Three-Body Problem" quickly."

Gao Wanfeng agreed without hesitation, as the squad leader, he still had some small rights.

The second part of "The Three-Body Problem" is characters longer than the first part. Although the estimated time is enough, Chen Tianhong still wants to write it out sooner.

"Squad leader Gao, I won't go to the evening self-study today, I have an appointment."

Ximenxue came up to talk meanly,

"No, you still have to abide by the school's rules and regulations!"

Gao Wanfeng directly refused, he could know what the so-called appointment was from Ximen Xue's voice.

The rules and regulations are not important, the important thing is not to let him harm the girl, Gao Wanfeng is a very upright person.

“Meals for the week”

Ximenxue made a condition.

Gao Wanfeng was a little moved, but he persisted.

"Two weeks!"

Ximenxue continued to increase the size!
"Deal. But I'm talking about the three of us."

Gao Wanfeng pointed to Chen Tianhong and Yu Zhijie respectively, with bright smiles on his face.

Ximenxue was speechless, but for the sake of the gentle young lady and his own credits, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

In fact, two weeks of food was nothing to Ximenxue, he just felt that he was cheated, and that was the point.

Yu Zhijie and Chen Tianhong also smiled brightly, and they also had no shortage of food, but they were still very happy to see Ximen Xue deflated.

One of the joys of college is cheating on your roommates.

After the four of them had dinner, Gao Wanfeng and Yu Zhijie went to the classroom for evening self-study, while Chen Tianhong and Ximenxue went back to the dormitory.

After returning to the dormitory, Ximenxue changed into decent clothes again, and even sprayed some men's perfume flirtatiously, before going to the appointment humming a ditty.

Regarding Ximenxue's behavior, Chen Tianhong said he was contemptuous, but he was actually a little envious.

Of course, this envy does not mean that he also wants to be a Neptune, but that the tadpoles stored by Ximenxue can be released.

Chen Tianhong's little tadpoles have accumulated a lot, but so far the position has not been released in a hearty battle.

"After finishing this international competition, we must complete this task."

Chen Tianhong swore secretly, then turned on the computer and turned on the codeword mode.

The finger gap is wide, time is too thin, it slips away from our fingers quietly but quickly
After more than an hour, Chen Tianhong stared at Chapter 1 on the computer screen in a daze for a while, and he fell into the memories of his previous life.

In fact, the chapter just coded is not strictly an official chapter of "Three-Body II: Dark Forest", but just a prologue, but this prologue has nearly ten thousand words.

When Chen Tianhong read this chapter for the first time, what he read was cloudy and foggy, and most of it was inexplicable dialogues.

The conversation between Ye Wenjie and Luo Ji, the protagonist of the second film, and the conversation between Evans and the Trisolaran intercepted by the combat center.

Chen Tianhong didn't understand the meaning of this prologue until he had finished watching the second part. It seemed messy, but it was actually very important.

It not only reveals the main idea of ​​the second book, but also serves as a link between the past and the future. It can be said that without this chapter, there would be no turning point of final victory.

Just when Chen Tianhong was lost in memory, the door of the dormitory was pushed open, but it was not Gao Wanfeng and Yu Zhijie who were studying by themselves next night, but Ximenxue who had just left.

Unlike the happy face when she went out, Ximen Xue who came back had the word depression written all over her face.

"Tianhong, what happened to your writing? I was deceived."

Ximenxue sat next to Chen Tianhong, and said very depressed.

"Just finished writing a chapter, why did you come back so soon? Excluding the time to go out and take a taxi back and forth, I guess the time left for you to do things is no more than 10 minutes! Ximen, your health is so bad now!"

Chen Tianhong laughed and joked.

"What are you going to do! I was treated as a kid, and I went shopping with that girl for more than half an hour, and bought a lot of things. The more I bought, the more wrong I was. Use it as an ATM!"

Ximenxue began to ramble about his date.

After listening for a while, Chen Tianhong finally understood.

The reason why Ximenxue was depressed was that not only did he not get in the car, but he also posted something backwards. What was even more uncomfortable was that when he came back, he found that the girl had deleted him.

Ximenxue is not a stingy person. If he is happy with a girl, he is willing to spend and buy gifts, but he can't be taken advantage of.
"Hehe, isn't this normal! If you really understand the laws of the dark forest, you won't feel lost!"

"Isn't the law of the dark forest about the universe? What does it have to do with me, Tianhong, you don't know how to write, are you stupid!"

Ximenxue was overwhelmed with question marks by what Chen Tianhong said.

He knows the general meaning of the law of the dark forest in "Three-Body Problem". Although he hasn't read the novel yet, what he can confirm is that it has nothing to do with the matter between him and the girl.

"I'm not talking about the "Three-Body Problem", but the reality, Simon, have you ever heard such a sentence!

In fact, the city we live in is a forest. Every man is a hunter with a gun, and every woman is a beautiful trap. There are not many heroes here. Most men will fall into the beautiful trap.
It's not normal for a hunter to fall into a trap. Why are you only allowed to hunt for beauty, but not other girls to set you a trap? Both parties are equal, and it depends on who is more skilled !
If you want to talk about me, Ximen, you still have a real relationship, just falling into a trap is enough. "

Chen Tianhong said a sentence that was very popular in a certain era in his previous life.

"The city is the forest, every man is a hunter, every woman is a trap. Interesting, interesting!"

"Their bait is love, and their prey is each other. Which one wins or loses depends on the skill of the hunter, and the ability of women to set traps, who is stronger."

Ximenxue's eyes were brightened by Chen Tianhong's "urban dark forest" theory, and the depression in her heart was swept away.

That's right!Everyone relies on their skills to make a living, so there is nothing to complain about when your skills are not as good as others.

Regarding Ximenxue's understanding, Chen Tianhong was also speechless. In fact, he said this to remind Ximenxue not to use immoral means to get women. It is best to give up his Neptune behavior, otherwise he will regret it sooner or later.

There is a saying that if you often walk by the river, your shoes will not get wet. If you often swim in the sea, you will be crushed to death sooner or later.
Neptune has no good results in the end, and often lives alone all his life.

Because the goal Neptune set for himself is to conquer one woman after another, but after conquering each one, he falls into emptiness afterwards.

So they continued to set a goal for themselves, thinking of letting go after the final ultimate challenge was successful, but they didn't know that there would never be a so-called end, and they would run tirelessly in the forest of the city.
Even if you have been galloping all your life, you are lonely in spirit, and your soul will never find a place to rest.

Hearing that Ximenxue's understanding was off, Chen Tianhong shook his head, and was about to continue talking when his cell phone rang suddenly, it was Liu Yifei calling.

Chen Tianhong gave up the idea of ​​persuading Ximenxue, he got up and came to the balcony, and pressed the connect button.

Not to mention what Chen Tianhong and Liu Yifei would be talking about, Ximenxue saw the prologue on the computer screen, and he swiped the mouse to read it.

The beginning of "Three-Body II: Dark Forest" begins with a tiny brown ant. In the microscopic world, this brown ant is different. Perhaps it is tired of the mediocre life on the ground and hopes to reach another height.

So under the call of a certain sound, it climbed up a lonely peak by virtue of the sensitivity of its tentacles. It saw the new world and the person who made the sound.

This is a young man with a smile on his face. He put a bouquet of flowers in front of the isolated peak that the brown ant climbed, and said something far beyond the understanding of the brown ant. These words are:

【Living itself is wonderful. If you don’t even understand this truth, how can you explore deeper things? 】

Then the brown ant saw another person, who was also tall but very old.

The young man is Luo Ji, the protagonist of the second part of "The Three-Body Problem", and the later aging man is Ye Wenjie. As for the lonely peak that the brown ant struggled to climb up, it is a tombstone. Yang Dong's tomb.

What the brown ant didn't know was that what it saw were the two people who decided the fate of the earth, and that the decision to decide the fate of the earth actually came from a conversation between Luo Ji and Ye Wenjie.

The conversation between them started with greeting each other, and it was learned from the conversation that Luo Ji was Yang Dong's high school classmate.

He is a very impetuous person with no big ambitions. He only has a double degree in astronomy and sociology but he is not enterprising and muddling along.

Ye Wenjie advised him to try to study the sociology of the universe. This is a new concept that Ye Wenjie has been thinking about for most of his life.

Since it is a concept, it is natural to have axioms.

[First, survival is the first need of civilization! 】

[Second, civilization continues to grow and expand, but the total amount of matter in the universe remains the same! 】

In addition to these two axioms, there are two important concepts: suspicion chain and technology explosion.
Ye Wenjie didn't say much, she didn't have much time, and she had to go to a party, which was the last party.

The conversation was not long, and there were only a few key words, and the final conclusion required Luo Ji to think and deduce by himself.

It was only later that Luo Ji learned that Ye Wenjie's words were of great significance to the earth's civilization, and even to any civilization in the universe.

Especially for human beings, the degree of shock can be described as earth-shattering and weeping ghosts and gods. This concept is the prototype of the dark forest of cosmic civilization axioms.

When these concepts were expressed, in addition to Luo Ji, Sophon sent by Trisolaran, there was also that humble brown ant.

Brown ants don't understand, but at this historic moment, a third-party witness is needed, otherwise wouldn't it be too sad!
As far as the life on earth is concerned, it is the only witness. It has witnessed the germination of a discipline and a thought system, and witnessed the birth of a sharp sword against the Trisolaran world.

And from the meeting of the three of them, the magnificent struggle between human beings and the Trisolaran world began.
