Material Empire

From the opening of the book on May 11 last year to the end today, it took 19 months including the beginning and the end, with 2.46 million words and an average of 4,500 words per day. It is the slowest book written by Chengzi. However, the book is finally finished. Some students feel that it is unfinished. In fact, all the stories that should be told have been told, and the pits are almost filled. It is indeed the end.

The book "Material Empire" was opened in a hurry. So I chose the topic of materials, partly because I regret that the masterpiece "Material is King" of the great master of freezing was not able to write down.

First of all, the field of materials is too broad. Metal materials, organic materials, inorganic non-metal materials, and functional materials can write a book or even several books. If someone writes about the ceramic empire or the superconducting empire in the future, everyone Don't be surprised, because the story here is enough to support a book. I set the question to this level from the beginning, and I was stuck.

Secondly, Chengzi is a liberal arts student, Chengzi is a liberal arts student, Chengzi is a liberal arts student...Writing about quenching and normalizing, I can barely understand, what metal prices, what bonds, what chains and other things come across, Immediately stunned. If you don't understand the mystery, you can't write the story, so the more you write it, the harder it is to write. I was planning to write about memory alloys, carbon fibers, photovoltaic materials, etc., but I felt that writing such things behind closed doors was too low, so I simply gave up.

Compared with the industrial overlord, the material empire has better results. When the book is finished, it has 8,000 orders, which is considered a relatively good book at the starting point. In my heart, though, I prefer Overlords of Industry. The industrial overlord is not as "cool" as the material empire, but it has feelings. Everyone knows that Chengzi has always been a sentimental party... Can you imagine Chengzi's cute expression?

Anyway, when it's time for the book to end, it's over. Thanks to the editors Yuanzheng Da, Sister Xiaomi, Yisuo Da, and An Yi Da who have always cared about this book; thanks to all the readers who have never given up on this book, and have always subscribed, rewarded, recommended and voted monthly; thanks to all those who care about oranges friends.

The physical version of this book is being published, and the first two volumes are already on the market. You can find them in various online bookstores. You are welcome to buy them, and I hope you can recommend them to your relatives and friends. The sales of physical books are booming, which is also an encouragement to Cheng Zi, thank you Cheng Zi.

The rest is the question of the new book that many friends are concerned about. After finishing Material Empire, Chengzi does not plan to write about industrial themes immediately, but initially plans to write a book about ordinary urban themes, to make a transition. If all goes well, the new book is expected to be uploaded early next month, and I hope you will continue to support it.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in advance. Let's meet again after New Year's Eve.
