Chapter 301 Sales on the first day, dominate the New Year

The cold wind was biting, and it was New Year's Day again. When the noise of the New Year's Eve was settled in Yanjing City, the employees of major logistics began their day's work early.

During this legal holiday, people who have been busy for a long time can finally sleep in, but a large number of gatherings appeared at the entrances of major bookstores!

They gave up the warmth of bed just to buy their favorite novels as soon as possible. Those readers who participated in online pre-orders sat at home and started to constantly refresh logistics information on their mobile phones, wanting to see where the novels were shipped.

Of course, there are also a group of e-reading enthusiasts. They have logged into their accounts and are preparing to purchase and download the kindle e-book version behind "The Three-Body Problem" at 9 o'clock.

In the new era, you don’t have to queue up to suffer from reading, or you don’t have to work hard to wait for express delivery. You can read books by connecting to wireless and lying down.

Everyone has their own preferences, and there are also many people who like paper books!

Zhu Ling stomped her feet, she put her hands in her pocket, and the thick scarf almost erected her face. Most of the people around her were men queuing up, while another girl was snuggling in her girlfriend's arms, with extremely inconsistent proportions.

Originally, she booked a book called "Three-Body 2: Dark Forest" online, but she heard that when doing activities in the bookstore, she would give away limited posters and enjoy discount services, so she simply bought a complete set of "Three-Body 2"!

Since Lin Han's novels are very pre-sale online, bookstores are under pressure to prevent online stores from snatching their business. They have to come up with some measures to attract customers.

Although engineering men are described online as ignorant like wooden men, they are only a few after all. Most people are still relatively normal in reality, so after seeing Zhu Ling, someone came to chat with him.

"Hey, are you here to buy "Three-Body Problem" too?" asked a boy in a down jacket, using something familiar to both parties to raise the topic.

"I guess everyone is all. I like to read physical books, but I don't like reading e-books. What do you think is written in "Dark Forest"? There are no spoilers on the Internet." Zhu Ling is an atypical liberal arts girl. Her friends and classmates all like to read romance and beauty, but she likes to mutate into science fiction and fantasy.

Zheng Yu, who finally got into a chat, racked his brains to recall that he was one of the earliest users of the Hanlin Academy. He recognized many people and got a little insignificant spoiler from those words. "I heard that "Dark Forest" seems to have changed the protagonist, and there are many new science fiction terms."

Originally, everyone was waiting to open the door bored, but now after two people started discussing, the atmosphere suddenly became completely active. Many introverts couldn't help but open the conversation and participate!

"I don't think it's that simple, as if the background is more grand. Li Wenyuan commented that this "Dark Forest" is the most grand and profound novel in the history of Chinese science fiction, which should not be exaggerated."

"I think Lin Hanguang is a bit in a difficult position to write science fiction novels. The first part of "The Three-Body Problem" is very interesting. Maybe he can try to expand his writing scope."

"Come on, science fiction requires Lin Han, and the rest of the categories do not require him."

"Hi guys, the door is open, go in quickly, I don't want to continue standing outside and get blown by the wind."

At this time, Zhu Ling also turned around and was about to walk in. Zheng Yuxiao didn't hesitate and asked with a blushing face: "Classmate, I think you like Lin Han's novels very much. If you have time, let's talk about these contents. Add a WeChat friend!"

"Uh, okay, okay." Zhu Ling first met someone who directly asked for contact information like this. She took out her phone, then called out the QR code, scanned it and added it to become a friend.

Who says science fiction is useless? Maybe this will lead to a good cause!

...

You are in the bright sun in the south, and you are in the cold winter in the north like spring.

On this day, science fiction readers from all over the world received their dream gifts. The novels that I had been looking forward to for a long time were finally officially released. Pre-order books from some urban areas were also delivered to my door, and those who were more remote had to wait for a while.

Regarding this grand sales event, Renmin University Press prepared sufficiently and directly produced 1.5 million copies on the first print, with sufficient inventory!

Although major dealers are constantly transferring goods, there is no shortage at present. These dealers have learned their lesson from bookstores. There is no need to worry about not being able to sell any books from Lin Han. They have meat to eat with Lin Han.

With such powerful pre-sale results, the sales of the physical version have become a mystery. No one is sure whether the sales increase or decrease in the same proportion.

It’s not Lin Han’s turn to worry about it. His affairs are much simpler. He just needs to feed the tropical fish at home every day. This is the new member of their family.

The large variety of tropical fish have huge sizes and different colors. They are dazzling in color and have a graceful swimming posture. Lin Han uses a variety of mixed breeding models at home.

There are several different tropical fish in this glass fish tank. The one that Lin Han likes the most is the angel fish, which is known as the angel. They are small in size, exquisite and agile, with beautiful and elegant body colors. They swim like fairies dancing, which is very beautiful.

There are also tropical fish covered with jewelry, dazzling under the lights. They wander around the concave rockery. Several green aquatic plants float at the bottom of the box covered with sand and stones. The rising bubbles add a little vitality.

When Lin Han was not writing a book, he focused on appreciating their swimming postures, which could indeed relax his spirit and emotions!

Chen Jiaxuan went to work in the studio, and he was the only one who was bored to feed the fish here. Lin Han was so bored that he could only turn on the computer to see the comments on these two novels on Douban.

However, the novel has just been released, and many people have not even received it. Not to mention comments, I haven't even finished reading the first time. Only a very small number of people are taking reading notes.

Currently, the number of people who evaluated "Three-Body 2: Dark Forest" is only more than 400, and the score is temporarily 9.6 points. This part is evaluated by those who have obtained the trial book in advance. The evaluation army has not arrived yet, and it is Lin Han’s wish to stabilize at more than 9 points!

...

After Zhu Ling got the book, she did not leave, but sat down directly in the coffee area next to the bookstore. A cup of mellow hot coffee was paired with snowflakes floating outside the glass wall. This was probably the most suitable reading environment.

"It looks quite thick, why is the directory only so small?"

She thought about it seriously in her heart, and saw the prologue, the upper part - the wall facer, the middle part - the spell, the lower part - the dark forest, which seemed to be a bit too concise.

In the preface, Ye Wenjie appears again, but this time the person who talks to her is no longer Wang Miao, but Luo Ji and Yang Dong’s high school classmates.

Zhu Ling looked at the two axioms of cosmic sociology thrown out by Ye Wenjie in front of her in amazement: Survival is the first need of civilization, civilization is growing and expanding, but the resources in the universe are limited, and the total amount of matter remains unchanged.

She had a full premonition that these two sentences would definitely be reflected later, so she subconsciously stopped at this place and carefully kept this sentence in her heart.

However, for Zhu Ling, a liberal arts student, the suspicion chains and technical explosions of the latter two important concepts are difficult to understand. There is no specific explanation here, so we can only leave the doubts in the following text.

"Sure enough, the protagonist has changed. What was the name of the boy just now? I forgot the note on WeChat!" Zhu Ling was suddenly distracted. She took out her phone in annoyance. When she looked up, she saw Zheng Yuxiao who was quietly reading on another table.

...

Zhang Qiang opened the door in a hurry. He took off his coat and threw it on the sofa. He couldn't wait to enter the study and spread out the complete collection of "Three-Body Problem" he had just bought.

As a former science fiction writer, he has now transformed into the children's field and wrote a series of popular children's animation images, including a novel adapted into an animation and broadcast on CCTV Children's Channel.

"Husband, didn't you say there is a small literary master today? Why did you come back so soon?" Fu Minhua, the wife doing yoga in the room, suddenly asked, she was a little curious.

Zhang Qiang replied in a muffled voice in the study: "I was talking very well, but as I was talking, the topic was transferred to the new book sent by Lin Han. Later, we simply went to the bookstore to buy books and then went home."

"Your literary gathering is really hasty. I have heard of Lin Han, his science fiction novels seem to be very good. Have you ever thought about going back and rewriting science fiction novels by yourself?" Fu Minhua knew her husband very well. Although she sold well in children, she never stopped writing science fiction novels.

But over the years, all the science fiction novels he wrote were saved on his computer. They often print them out and then use a paper shredder to smash them out after they look at them.

After a while, Zhang Qiang said, "You can't go back. You've been wasted for so long. Going back will be considered cross-border. In fact, seeing Lin Han's "Three-Body Problem" series, I became more determined not to go back to write science fiction. Science fiction is enough. He has improved Chinese science fiction to the world-class level, not only a successor, but also a huge pioneer!"

Now Zhang Qiang's identity is no longer the same as before. The works he sent must be of high quality. He asked himself that he could not meet Lin Han's level, so he extinguished the flame.

When he opened the book, he read it seriously. This book deserves its reputation and makes people unable to stop!

The future captain of the Tang aircraft carrier Wu Yue, political commissar Zhang Beihai, suddenly received an order to go to the General Staff to report, the PDC of the Planetary Defense Council was established, and the Blade Man 2 contacted the Three-Body Man and discussed the issue of deception and the human wall-facing plan.

Escapeism began to appear in international news, and there was a dispute at the dinner table about who was qualified to escape in the face of a crisis. The Three-Body Movement organization resumed the operation of the virtual Three-Body World in a corner of the Internet, using this online game to keep in touch with each other.

At this time, the logic of the protagonist of the novel officially appeared on the stage. He was in a car accident and was then taken to a secret facility by police Shi Qiang.

On another line, Zhang Beihai is also actively confirming his goals, and the two clues are developing in unison.

The novel goes on little by little, and Luo Ji was escorted to the United Nations headquarters by Shi Qiang, and then launched the Wall Faceman Project here!

When Zhang Qiang saw this plan, his whole head was empty and he couldn't help but sigh and said with emotion: "It would be great if Lin Han was born ten years ago, but it's not too late now, not at all!"

The story of the early days of the crisis era is very interesting. Not only Zhang Qiang, a former science fiction writer, but readers from different industries are also deeply attracted by this novel. Although the first part of the novel has not been read yet, this nervous and exciting feeling has already appeared in my heart.

In "Three-Body 2", the readers feel the most intimate thing about Dashi, the policeman. When they saw him appear, the old readers couldn't help but smile, and finally met an acquaintance!

Many people think this novel is very good, but they can't tell the reason. Anyway, it's good, it's good everywhere.

Critics pay more attention to details and the use of the text behind the novel. Fortunately, "The Three-Body Problem" is not a pure show of skills. It combines various scientific speculations with the plot, not a dry and boring science explanation, but more based on fantasy!

The famous science fiction critic Wu Yan has not read the entire novel yet, but he can't wait to share his feelings online: "This book is really amazing, showing everything our civilization can experience in the universe, vast and subtle. The dark forest has harsh laws and hope for survival. The shock, feelings and thoughts brought to us by Lin Han have risen to a new dimension here. I continue reading, and it takes at least two or three times before I can write a book review!"

"Lin Han's extraordinary imagination once again stunned us. Compared with "Three-Body 1" and "Three-Body 2", the gap is really big. This novel is amazing!"

There are few praises and not many book reviews, because readers and critics are taking the time to read the book. The two of them posted together must be read almost before they can respond.

This also created an illusion. It seemed that the first day of the release of the complete collection of "Three-Body Problem" seemed a bit deserted. The amount of discussion on the Internet was seriously insufficient. People were reading books, and no one was willing to waste their time on the water forum or water micro blog.

There are only a few tenacious black guys jumping around the Internet, but no one pays attention to it, as if there are fewer people on the entire Internet, and it seems that they are all going to watch "The Three-Body Problem".

But this time, no media dared to jump out and say that "The Three-Body Problem" was cold, and they were already scared by themselves in the face. There are so many photos sold in bookstores offline and so few discussions online. This is like a volcano that keeps accumulating strength. The longer the accumulation is, the more amazing the power of the eruption will be! (To be continued.)
