293 【The Beginning of Internet Literature】

"I don't understand why there are so many 'ball rapes'."

"There are so many traitors in the War of Resistance, what a normal thing."

"Have you noticed? Most of the 'Ball Rape' are Chinese. This novel perfectly shows the Chinese's bad nature."

"I'm just talking nonsense, and I'm not bad at all. The Pacific Ocean has no cover, so I swim over by myself. Everyone over there is a great and glorious person."

"You are full of swearing. People like you are the representative of the bad nature of Chinese people!"

"Don't make a noise, you'll make a hammer when reading a book."

"I think neither the Saving Sect nor the Advent Sect are the mainstream. The surviving Sect will definitely be the one with the largest number of people in the future. For ordinary people, life is very sad now. Who can control the alien attack hundreds of years later?"

"Well, I read less, what is nano? Is it the technology compiled by the author, or is it really there on Earth?"

"Of course, the United States has already equipped nanotechnology, and China is also developing it in front of it. My friend is working at the nanomilitary R&D base."

"My uncle is still the president!"

"I discovered a problem. The author said that the three-body body is four light years away from the earth. The maximum navigation speed of the three-body body is one-tenth of the speed of light. It should only take 40 Earth years to reach the earth. Why is it 450 years? Is the author's mathematics too poor and the calculation is wrong?"

"I can answer this question. My 100-meter running score is 12 seconds 5, so I can run 8 meters per second and 691 kilometers per day. The straight-line distance from the capital city to Shenghai is about 1,000 kilometers. In less than a day and a half, I can run from the capital city to Shenghai. May I ask, did I make a mistake in the calculation?"

"My friends who have finished Beijing and Shanghai in one day and a half are awesome."

“…”

The Sitong chat room was the most popular in 1997, but the number of people online in each chat room was only twenty or thirty, and the number of chat rooms was barely over 100. This was not as good as a QQ group in the future.

The main reason is that the Internet fee is too expensive now, and many people will go offline after chatting for a while. Those who can get water all day are the local tyrants.

With the power of "Three-Body Problem", the number of people online in Sohu's single chat room has exceeded 100, and it has reached the upper limit of the number of people. Zhang Chaoyang had to adjust the upper limit of the number of people to 200. Even so, whenever the fixed update time of "Three-Body Problem", the upper limit of 200 people is still not enough, and many readers are stuck outside and can't enter.

As for the usual number of people online in Sohu's single chat room, there are still more than 50 people. This year, it can be said that they are so popular.

The popularity of chat rooms has also greatly increased Sohu.com's traffic, with an average daily visit of over 60,000. Many netizens are tired of chatting, so they browse Sohu's web pages and read various news and technical content.

As the update content of "The Three-Body Problem" becomes more and more, the scattered chapters posted in the chat room are inconvenient to read, so the novel was moved to Sohu. Zhang Chaoyang asked someone to create a special section called "Dou Wen Lan Mo". Any interesting articles published in the chat room will be moved to Sohu.com's "Dou Wen Lan Mo" section the next day.

This greatly stimulated the creative enthusiasm of netizens. Many people began to post original articles in the chat room, and they still mainly focused on poetry, prose and short stories, but some people began to publish novels.

Three of the best ones

Ning Caishen: Specializes in writing ghost stories.

Li Xunhuan: Mass-produced poetry and essays.

Xing Yusen: Focus on short stories.

These three people, coupled with Song Weiyang's "Zenth Star Man", are praised by the enthusiastic people as the "Four Heavenly Kings of Online Literature".

At night, eleven o'clock.

There are only a few people left in this chat room. Lin Zhuoyun lives in the graduate dormitory tonight, and Song Weiyang can chat until midnight and have fun.

Li Xunhuan: "I'm going to go offline and I'll defend my thesis tomorrow."

Zenith Star: "You haven't graduated yet?"

Li Xunhuan: "I'm about to graduate."

Zen Star: "What are you going to do after graduation?"

Li Xunhuan: "I have signed a contract when I joined the real estate company."

Xing Yusen: "Do you do real estate sales?"

Li Xunhuan: "I study in economics, so I don't have to be on the front line of sales..."

Zen Star: "This year is the most recession in the real estate industry since the 1992 Southern Tour. Man, take care of yourself."

Ning Caishen: "Keep each other's email address. If you have any difficulties in your work in the future, you can come to Beijing to join me. By the way, I work in securities and I am very good at playing with your economics major."

Li Xunhuan: "Thank you. My name is Lu Jinbo, this is my email address..."

Song Weiyang was not very familiar with the early Internet. When he saw Lu Jinbo's name, he finally knew who this person was. Han Han, Annie Baby, Murong Xuecun and others were the general manager of "Under the Banyan Tree", a very successful cultural businessman.

As for Xing Yusen, everyone's first reaction may be Captain Xing. This person's real identity is a doctor of information engineering in Beijing Postal Posts. Later, he became a screenwriter. The film and television works involved in the screenwriter include "Idle Son", "A Family in Northeast China", "A Family with Children", "The Family with Children", "Urban Men and Women", etc.

Li Xunhuan: "Goodbye everyone, I may disappear for a while. There are a lot of troubles in graduation, and I have to change my city life. I will meet again if I have the chance!"

After Li Xunhuan was offline, Ning Caishen suddenly asked: "Brother Zen Star, what are you doing?"

Zen Star: "Student."

Xing Yusen: "The Zenith Star must have studied physics, and they are very high-end physics, celestial mechanics, quantum mechanics and other things. Otherwise, it would be impossible to write a work like "The Three-Body Problem".

Zen Star: "Haha."

Ning Caishen: "Why did I see someone in the chat room a few days ago that "The Three-Body Problem" is a work by Song Weiyang."

Xing Yusen: "Who is Song Weiyang?"

Ning Caishen: "Cao, don't you read newspapers?"

Xing Yusen: "Okay, I remember it, it seems that I am the boss of Xifeng Company."

Zen Star Man: "Lao Ning, are you interested in going to Thailand for a fun place? It seems quite lively there."

Ning Caishen: "Forget it, I'm just a minion, how can I be qualified to play with the capital giant crocodile? Don't change the topic, are you really Song Weiyang?"

Zen Star Man: "Can Song Weiyang be so idle?"

Ning Caishen: "That's right."

Zen Star Man: "I'm off the line, goodbye."

As time fermented, "The Three-Body Problem" became popular from the Internet to reality.

First, the computer magazine reported the rise of online literature. Then, the mass media reported online literature as new things and gave it noble meaning: the Internet is changing the way and ways of literary creation.

This is a very novel thing for netizens and ordinary people.

In the mid-1990s, people had to submit articles to newspapers and magazines if they wanted to publish articles. A magazine with slightly larger sales received hundreds of thousands of manuscripts every month, and most of the editors and editors were manuscripts of old authors. The chances of newcomers being able to publish works were similar to winning lottery tickets.

Now that you can actually publish articles on the Internet, how can you not make people excited?

The demonstration effect brought by "The Three-Body Problem" has made online literature "prosper" quickly. Netizens' purpose is very pure, not to make money, but to express their desire for literary expression. Others are also very supportive, and even the sour and slight essays written by Li Xunhuan can receive unanimous praise.

The reason is that you are a reader on the Internet, you can communicate with the author, comment improvise in the chat room, and you can also meet so many like-minded people. This is incomparable to reading paper books.

The number of Chinese netizens in the summer of 1997 had exceeded 200,000, and online cafes (early Internet cafes) spread to inland cities.

What can these people do online?

It’s nothing more than browsing information and chatting. Mud (text online games) has just become popular. Creating online literature has suddenly become an important content for people to go online. If you haven’t watched "The Three-Body Problem", you are not worthy of calling yourself an Internet user!

That is the originator of Chinese online literature and is praised to heaven every minute.

This often happens in Internet cafes: "Oh, you are also surfing the Internet. Have you watched "The Three-Body Problem"? What, haven't you watched it? Then you can't keep up with the trend. Let me tell you, "The Three-Body Problem" is very awesome, the author is a doctor of astrophysics... Hurry up and take a look, it's embarrassing not to watch it!"

"The King of Science Fiction" didn't say hello, and just took "The Three-Body Problem" to serialize it.

Yang Xiao, editor-in-chief of "Science Fiction World", immediately called Song Weiyang to get the exclusive serialization rights of "The Three-Body Problem".

After the communication between the two parties, Song Weiyang agreed, provided that the author's information should not be disclosed.

"Science Fiction World" started serializing "Three-Body Problem" in mid-June, and warned its competitors: "Science Fiction King" did not contact the author and did not obtain author authorization. Please stop serializing "Three-Body Problem" immediately."

The battle between the two magazines immediately attracted science fiction fans and thus learned what online literature is.

There are even old science fiction fans with long hair who run to the Internet cafe with crutches to learn how to surf the Internet from scratch in order to pursue the update.

There is also an online literature circle in the United States. Fang Zhangzi, known as one of the "Eight Greatest Online Literature", began to put "Three-Body Problem" in "New Yu Si" (online publication). The readers of "New Yu Si" are mainly international students, including both mainland and Wanwan's international students. These advanced intellectuals were attracted by "Three-Body Problem" in minutes, and then naturally spread to Wanwan.

The Internet circle of the entire Chinese world, "The Three-Body Problem" is almost everyone knows it.

One day, Brother Ma suddenly called Song Weiyang: "Old Song, I discovered a science fiction novel called "The Three-Body Problem", which is very powerful! I can say that this is the pinnacle of Chinese science fiction novels, and it is a top work in the world."

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Then I want to read it."

Brother Ma is a senior science fiction fan. His childhood dream was to be an astronomer. He had an astronomer telescope when he was in junior high school. This thing is equivalent to his father's salary for four months and his parents didn't buy it. Brother Ma wrote in his diary: "My parents killed the dream of an astronomer."

With this astronomical telescope, Xiao Ma Ge, who is still in junior high school, became the first person in the area to see Halley's comet. He also wrote an observation report and submitted it to the capital, earning 40 yuan in royalties.

Brother Xiao Ma said: "I really want to get to know the author of "The Three-Body Problem", it's so amazing!"

Song Weiyang said: "I wrote it, do you believe it?"

Brother Ma smiled and said, "I don't believe it."
