Chapter 174 Okay, okay!
Chapter 174 Okay, okay!
“Once the concept of the ultimate producer came out, it exploded. It was the end point of capitalism.”
"It shouldn't be that exaggerated, but the concept is really allegorical. In the end, Brother Civilization even regards the air as private property. Ordinary people are not allowed to go out. Even if they go out, they have to wear protective clothing, otherwise it will be considered stealing air."
"Awesome, the end of science fiction is irony, what a prophecy, now the rich and the poor are not the same species! Damn, the dish of black chicken and white jade described in the book, I don't know if it's true, but throwing away the chicken and only eating the tofu wrapped inside... It's inexplicably true, it feels like rich people are like this."
Rave reviews!
Of course there are definitely negative reviews, but we won’t read them and will focus more on the positive reviews.
However, it must be said that excellent works not only receive positive reviews, but also spark very heated discussions among readers.
There are relevant posts on Douban and Tianya Forum. You know, given the popularity of science fiction novels in China, the fact that there are topics for discussion on other forums besides the magazine's official website can indirectly prove its excellence.
Let’s pick one to talk about, a topic in the Tianya Forum - Tianya Chat section.
"Does it feel like the cost of attending a prestigious university is getting lower and lower? In the 1990s and the millennium, there were relatively few examples of people from small villages being admitted to universities, but now it seems like there are many."
Many people left comments telling the OP that it is because the Internet has developed and information can be spread more easily, so more people can see it. To sum up, it is not that the number is greater, nor that the cost of going to college is lower.
Some people hold the affirmative opinion that the cost is lower because scholarships and various subsidies are more complete than before.
The two sides argued fiercely, and one person replied, "The lower the cost, the better. I couldn't help but think of a short story I saw this morning in Science Fiction World called "The Support of Humankind." If education becomes expensive, it's chilling to think about it."
Then some people cursed it as idiot for advertising in this way. This is how the grumpy old man of the Internet is, whether it’s 12 years or 22 years.
There are also book-loving netizens who actually read the books and then discuss them. They never read other people’s serious book recommendations, but when they accidentally see a book review on the Internet, they will be eager to find it and read it.
"It's not a big deal to have a big imagination. I've seen more amazing sci-fi ideas. What's amazing about this author is that he uses an extremely grand theme to guide you to think about society. My thinking is: education must never be privatized!"
"Yes, in fact, America has already completed the prototype of [higher education], and ordinary people are happily educated. As for China - let's rectify it, and we must not let private schools defeat public schools!"
The netizens started chatting and the topic went a little off topic.
……
"Yes, yes, yes. I told you, there will be no problem. If you don't hurry up and talk about it, you won't have a chance at all."
"We have been friends for how many years, would I lie to you?"
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Li was still very excited. He sat at his desk and typed away on the keyboard.
[Muziyi: Teacher Gu, what works have you read recently? You wrote "The Support of Humankind", is it "Marxism"? One thing leads to another, it's amazing.]
Mr. Li couldn't help but send a Penguin message to Gu Lu, but then he realized that Teacher Gu was still in class and there was no withdraw function at the moment, so that was it.
"Brother Li, Editor-in-Chief Wu wants you to come over." The intern came over and said.
Upon hearing this, Lao Li came to Deputy Editor-in-Chief Wu's office. According to the rank of the Story Club editorial department, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Wu is the executive deputy editor-in-chief and also serves as the person in charge of the blue edition. Since President Huo (Editor-in-Chief) does not have much control over the affairs, he is the biggest one.
"What does Editor-in-Chief Wu want to talk to me about?" Old Li asked straight to the point.
"You were talking on the phone outside just now, and the voice was so loud that I could hear it from inside. Is it some good news?" asked Editor-in-Chief Wu.
"Teacher Xiao Gu wrote a very wonderful science fiction novel. I have a friend at Sichuan Science and Technology Press, and I asked him to get the book as soon as possible." Lao Li said, "Their publishing house has a cooperation with Science Fiction World, so there will definitely be no problem."
With a wide range of friends, Sichuan Provincial Publishing House launched the science fiction "Vision Project" in 03.
Three series of books have been published, the World Science Fiction Masters Series, the Chinese Popular Science Fiction Series, and the Chinese Science Fiction Cornerstone Series. It is no exaggeration to say that these three series of books account for 80% of the domestic science fiction market. "Old Li, you should also pay attention. After all, you are the editor of Story Club." Editor-in-Chief Wu said.
Oh no - could it be that the fact that he often acted as a matchmaker for the author has been exposed? Lao Li was very nervous.
From the perspective of Story Club, Lao Li was indeed wrong to do so. But from the perspective of the author, Lao Li was also a mentor.
"That..." Old Li opened his mouth and he could make up a few words.
"Why didn't you know that writer Xiao Gu was going to go global?" Chief Editor Wu said, "I had to learn about it from other people."
"Huh?" Old Li was stunned. Why did the subject change?
Wait, "What internationalization?" Lao Li wondered.
"It seems you don't know yet." Editor-in-Chief Wu said, "Several articles that Xiao Gu serialized in our magazine have been translated abroad and have been very popular."
"I know you have a good relationship with Teacher Gu, so let's arrange an interview." Editor-in-Chief Wu said, "Our serialized works can be exported overseas, which can also enhance our brand."
He called Lao Li here for this reason.
There is nothing wrong with the fact that "Story Club" is toilet literature, it is just for entertaining people, but it does not mean that there are no high-quality stories. Editor-in-Chief Wu wants to achieve this effect.
"I'll go right away, it should be fine." said Lao Li.
Editor-in-Chief Wu then brought tea, and Lao Li also drank it. He realized that he could leave, opened the door of the editor-in-chief's office, and when he was about to leave, he heard the editor-in-chief's voice again, "Lao Li, you must remember that you are the editor of Story Club."
Although Lao Li was deceived, the popularity of "The Supporting Humankind" has not decreased at all.
Even on the second day of the release, two science fiction writers who also published their works in "Science Fiction Books": Zhue FLY and Archer Ho, posted long and favorable comments on their Weibo.
Since the pen names of the two writers are really difficult to call, let’s simply call them Xiaozhuo and DaA.
First, let’s look at the big A.
Big A: When my brother, the civilized census taker, said that his mother was sleepwalking and not wearing protective clothing, so she was caught by a robot and suffocated to death, and that his father used a resource decomposer to decompose himself into clean water, a box of organic oil, a bottle of calcium tablets, and a small piece of iron in order to keep his children alive, I was completely dumbfounded.
Then I thought of my father, who grew up in a single-parent family. There are many families today who sacrifice the health of their parents in exchange for raising their children, right? Gu Lu, right? I remember this author, he is so brave! ]
[I remember a few days ago, I saw a magazine called Fortune, published in the United States. It said that the wealth of the 2010 richest people in the world in 388 was equal to the total wealth of half of the world's poor. Do you really think the concept of "final product" is exaggerated? I think that in years, it would be no problem for one person's wealth to be equal to half of the world's poor.
The science fiction concept of "The Final Producer" is amazing and will become a milestone.
What does that mean?
Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics" are the settings that cannot be crossed when talking about robots abroad. And "final production" is a threshold that cannot be crossed in domestic science fiction novels. ]
As the so-called insiders watch the doorway, the outsiders watch the excitement.
Readers only see how good the story is, but only fellow writers can really see how good it is.
This is totally unrelated. The more allegorical and coherent "Supporting God" has not been released in the science fiction world yet.
The person who became famous with just one article is Gu Lu.
