2006: School beauty loves me again

On May 2006, 5, the third day after Fangyuan was reborn, the first part of "The Three-Body Problem" began to be serialized in "Science Fiction World". He felt that this was a kind of fate.

It is now May 2008, and the second volume will be officially published next week.

Three months later, the copyright of this great work will be sold for 100,000 yuan, so now is the last chance to contact Liu Cixin.

Previously, Fangyuan had told Chen Wan many times that he wanted to contact Liu Cixin about purchasing the copyright. They initially communicated twice on the phone, but later put it on hold because of the "disaster relief parade." This time Fangyuan took action in person, and he was determined to win.

From 1999 to 2006, Liu Cixin was the winner of the highest "Galaxy Award" for Chinese science fiction. This is a record that is difficult to break. Therefore, in 08, Liu was already well-known in the science fiction circle, but this was an era in which science fiction was declining. , he did not gain wealth equivalent to his status.

One hundred thousand yuan, how much? The answer is obviously no.

But less? To be honest, the single copyright transaction in this era is a reasonable price even from the perspective of mainstream literature, and it is really not very rare.

However, for the work "The Three-Body Problem", it can obviously be ignored.

"Harry Potter" has the highest IP value in the world, and its derivative value can reach billions of dollars. Fangyuan feels that "The Three-Body Problem" should not be inferior to this.

But he won't talk about it with a scary price all at once. Firstly, he doesn't have much cash flow at his disposal now. Secondly... he plans to tie up Liu to carry out the "Three Body Universe" in the entire industry sector. "Development.

Technology is the ladder of progress of human civilization, and science fiction literature is the first step in opening up human fantasy thinking.

In the extended fantasy that conforms to scientific logic, most of the detailed descriptions of the future in many science fiction works have been realized.

The frontier of imagination is the scene of the future. As imagination is boundless, so is the future of mankind.

From this point of view, "2001: A Space Odyssey" is great, and "The Three-Body Problem" and Liu Cixin are also great, especially the "Dark Forest" conjecture that has not yet been released, which is another interpretation of the Fermi Paradox. Current technology cannot yet confirm or disprove it.

See, neither confirmation nor falsification can be done, this is a great idea at the edge of imagination.

Fangyuan was not interested in aliens or anything like that, but he was very interested in Liu Cixin.

He had actually experienced rebirth and wanted to communicate with such a compatriot with great imagination.

This is not a philosophical discussion or theoretical speculation, but a simple chat.

Especially in the current world, where only Da Liu and a few people in the publishing house understand the content of the second "Dark Forest", Fangyuan has no way to discuss the storyline with him. Therefore, this meeting with chicken stewed with mushrooms is just Get to know each other.

Fangyuan's opening remarks are very simple. Before his rebirth, he read "The Three-Body Problem" dozens of times. It is very reasonable to start with the content of the first part he read in "Science Fiction World".

It is normal for rich people to be interested in technology and the future. Rich people and emperors are the two types of people who are most concerned about the issue of "eternal life".

"Is death the end?"

Fangyuan wonders if he is an exception. If everyone goes to a parallel world to "relive" once after death...or countless times, then is immortality realized in another unknown "dimension"?

When he first sat down at the dinner table, Da Liu was a little nervous. Even though Fangyuan's appearance was funny, everyone already knew his name.

As a science fiction writer, he has not personally come into contact with capital, and young rich people like Fangyuan are often not much different from dandies in the perception of ordinary people.

The other one is another big star in the limelight.

Good guy, apart from the stout Zou An at the dinner table, he only felt kind to the repair dog running around on the ground.

But these worries quickly dissipated by changing cups. Liu Cixin can drink, or most text creators can drink some. The dizzy state is more conducive to divergent thinking.

After drinking a few cups of classic Laofen wine, Liu became arrogant and opened up his chatterbox. He pushed up his glasses, put down his chopsticks, and the great writer said something that was watertight.

“Scientifically speaking, human life is like stone when it dies.

"In mythology, Pangu's trunk turned into the earth and mountains after his death... The same goes for us, decaying and turning into mud, turning into something else at the molecular level, just like breathing. Maybe the air we breathe is made by the decomposition of dinosaurs after their death. Made up of small molecules.”

Fangyuan was cheerful and chimed in: "Law of conservation of matter?"

Liu Cixin said: "Yes, it is one of the basic laws of nature. To put it more romantically, if consciousness does not disappear after death, feelings will not disappear. Aging is meaningless at the level of consciousness. To be honest, I think that in life, There will always be something left behind, even if the name cannot be left in history, life and blood will continue to remain on a small scale."

Fangyuan smiled and raised a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice to Da Liu.

Shen Ningfei didn't talk much during the meal. She kept playing the role of Fangyuan's personal maid, helping him pick up vegetables and pour water, and occasionally picked up glutinous rice balls and played with them.

But after hearing these words, he was suddenly startled.

Feelings don't go away and aging has no meaning.

She glanced secretly at the plaster man next to her, and then smiled secretly.

This smile was caught by Liu Cixin across the table.

Love affairs between beautiful female stars and young rich men have often been circulated among the people from ancient times to the present, but the two people in front of them are obviously not like casual people. The word player's thinking is very delicate. He feels that there is something between Fangyuan and Shen Ningfei. Really emotional.

Especially since he doesn't pay attention to gossip news and doesn't know the difference between "Shen Ningfei" and "Shen Ningfei".

"I'll take the liberty to ask..."

Fangyuan knew what he wanted to ask.

Shen Ningfei also knew it, but he lowered his head in a low self-esteem and used the behavior of petting the dog to cover up his uneasiness.

But Fangyuan held the little girl's hand and said openly, "It's a couple."

Shen Ningfei's little heart skipped a beat, but he shook his head, narrowed his peach blossom eyes, and smiled.

Da Liu laughed loudly, clapped his hands and said, "The end of life is the death of love."

……

The chicken is stewed with mushrooms. The chicken is a pheasant and the mushrooms are wild mushrooms, but Liu prefers the vermicelli.

The glutinous rice balls made him hungry, but Shen Ningfei insisted not to let the dog eat omnivorous food. Zou An took a piece of boneless chicken and threw it on the ground, which finally satisfied the glutinous rice balls.

Then, Gouzi got a lot closer to the careless Zou An, and spent the rest of the time hanging around Zou An's feet from time to time.

But under Shen Ningfei's glare, Zou An didn't dare to feed him anymore.

Two bottles of good wine weighing one kilogram were eaten by Zou An and Da Liu, leaving not a drop left.

Zou Anshang was still conscious, but Da Liu was already shaken.

Da Liu immediately promised Fangyuan that he would never disclose the fact that he was recuperating here, and then he was taken back to the next door by two security guards.

He Yan was there. Zou An hugged her fists and went back to rest next door. Shen Ningfei helped Fangyuan to the bedroom, but Fangyuan pulled her and asked: "Go out for a walk?"

Shen Ningfei tilted his head in confusion, "Can you leave?"

"I can walk two steps with a cane."

Shen Ningfei didn't dare to make the decision on his own, so he ran out to seek He Yan's opinion.

He Yan patted his forehead and asked two big men to carry the wheelchair to "move" Fang Yuan to the grass on the back hillside, and then guarded the outside, leaving the open space for him and Shen Ningfei.

The moon is half round, half hanging in the sky, and half floating in the Tao River under Niangziguan.

The river is pearly in the moonlight.

Farther away, the mountains look like giant beasts crawling in the darkness, with a long, winding red snake shuttling among them.

It was a coal truck that had been blocked for more than ten kilometers, blocking all four lanes.

Upward, the starry sky is rustling and the darkness is deep.

There were fleas in the grass, so Shen Ningfei didn't bring glutinous rice balls to play with. She sat on the pedals of the wheelchair at Fangyuan's feet, and the two of them silently watched the stars in the dark night. It was still cold in the village at night in May. Fang Yuan lifted up the blanket that Shen Ningfei had spread on his legs and draped it over her shoulders.

Touching the top of her head from behind, Fang Yuan asked gently, "Are you tired lately?"

Shen Ningfei naturally rested her head on his leg, the good one.

"Not tired."

Fang Yuan lowered his hand and pinched her face. This was a rare intimate gesture between the two of them, but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, everything happened naturally.

Shen Ningfei turned her head slightly and asked him, "Is that book really that good?"

The question was about "The Three-Body Problem". She had not seen it, but it was worthy of Fangyuan's efforts to mobilize a large number of people and visit in person. It also had to be penetrated a little bit so as not to appear obtrusive. She felt that it should be something that Fangyuan attached great importance to.

I bought the copyright, made an adaptation, and decided that I would be the heroine, but listen to what they talked about today...

The heroine doesn’t seem to be a good person...

Fangyuan said: "It looks good. You should read it. I have printed out the first part. You should start reading it tomorrow to understand the human nature reflected in it."

There was no room for forced demands and domineering, but Shen Ningfei really liked how he treated her. He had never forced himself to do anything, and had always been free-range, leaving him enough freedom.

But in love, freedom often means alienation, and she doesn't like it.

"it is good."

Then he said: "I have never read science fiction novels. If you encounter something I don't understand, you have to explain it to me."

Fangyuan pinched her face again and said with a smile: "Of course, I asked you to come here to help you answer your questions. If I can't explain it, the original author is next door."

Shen Ningfei said "cut" angrily, knowing that this was not what he was doing.

Fangyuan raised his head again and cast his gaze towards the vast night sky, and then he suddenly found... that he had a little astigmatism.

In my previous life, my myopia and astigmatism of more than 100 degrees were all caused by playing with mobile phones. What's going on now?

He rubbed his eyes and looked again. The red lights and starlight on the highway had a slight glow. He suddenly felt helpless. The astigmatism was irreversible. It seemed that he needed a pair of glasses to look elegant.

Shen Ningfei also looked at the stars and sighed: "The novel you like so much must be very good, right?"

Fangyuan told the story of the first part according to the plot, and the little girl felt even more magical after understanding it.

She said: "Science fiction writers are really amazing, they need to know so much knowledge."

She had never read a novel in its entirety, so she didn't understand it, and it was very shocking.

Fangyuan said: "People can create stories based on their life experiences and in-depth associations with daily trivial matters, and they are also skeptical of existing theories. This is indeed amazing.

"But this work has a profound impact on human nature..."

All sentient beings are like travelers traveling to the wilderness to die. They have been living in the human world for decades, and burning incense is hard to find meaning.

I wanted to say this, but felt that I shouldn't say these words to Shen Ningfei, so I just said: "Human nature is changing with the times, and good and evil are uncertain. There are many golden sentences in it. Take a look. Take a good look. The deeper you understand, the better your interpretation will be in the future." The better the time comes, I’m looking forward to it.”

Shen Ningfei hugged his knees and nodded, saying, "I like his saying that the end of life is the disappearance of feelings, and that if feelings don't disappear, aging will be meaningless."

Fangyuan shrugged and said, "Growing by each other's company is also very meaningful and romantic."

The fragrance of green grass and the fragrance of falling jujube flowers flowed into the tip of the nose. Shen Ningfei rubbed his nose, turned to ask Fangyuan: "Can I always stay with you like this?"

Fangyuan asked curiously: "Why do you ask that? Can I still let you go and give it to others?"

Both of them spoke straightforwardly, which had never happened before.

Shen Ningfei was satisfied, shook his head with a smile, hugged his plaster leg and said: "Many people say that love is about meeting and leaving. Every time I pray, I am just afraid. I walked around, and in the end you told me: "You are alone. "Okay, you're used to being alone, but she... they can't do it without me." I'm afraid of this. If I wait and wait, I'll make myself and time grow old."

Fangyuan laughed and pinched her cheek again.

"I'm asking you to refer to the performances of film and television dramas. I'm not asking you to memorize cliche lines from idol dramas. What's more, "You can do it alone, but they can't do it without me." What kind of scumbag literature is this? Don't learn it anymore, it makes you laugh. Heart. You don’t understand men, and the man is Qin Shihuang.”

"Emperor Qin Shihuang?"

"Earth, forehead, forehead, everything is forehead!"

Shen Ningfei was so amused that he was trembling when he saw him scratching here and there and gnashing his teeth.

"Yes, yes, you are really self-aware."

In the past two years, Shen Ningfei had hardly had any rest. Fangyuan held her, his small hands were cool and soft, and they were very beautiful hands.

Walking alone is an ideal for many people in big cities, but those who have truly experienced it never feel that walking alone is freedom, or that the word freedom is always associated with loneliness.

Unlike everyone else, Fang Yuan felt that the girl in front of her was the one who was most like her. She was alone when she left everything behind.

No, she seemed to be worse off than him.

When I look back, I have nothing, and she has a tragic past.

Memory is like the meandering Tao River at the foot of the mountain. It will widen forward, change its course, be mixed with sediment and become turbid, and also rush into the sea and become clear, but the origin will not disappear.

Such sad past memories may be squeezed out by happiness, but they will never be forgotten.

So pitiful.

Fangyuan struggled to reach out and pick up a wild chrysanthemum from the ground. At this time, it looked dark yellow, but up close, it turned out to be bright lemon yellow.

Fangyuan put the flower on Shen Ningfei's temple. It looked so good.

Shen Ningfei took out his small mirror, looked at it, and laughed.

Fangyuan sighed: "The professionalism of an artist."

Shen Ningfei retorted: "This is a woman's basic quality."

She smoothed her hair, stabilized the little flowers in her ears, and suddenly said, "You never asked me what flowers I like."

Lisianthus, sunflowers, red roses... She has never had this series of little interests.

Fangyuan knew what she was thinking and said with a smile: "Xingtu Gunny, what kind of flower is suitable for you?"

Shen Ningfei rolled her eyes at him and stopped taking things seriously. She touched her hair and then her little flowers. She took out the mirror again and looked at herself in the mirror with him.

"Fortunately, I didn't wait until my face was wrinkled before I received the flower." She said, holding his hand, touching her face, and smiling: "White hair is not worthy of this flower."

Fangyuan said: "Young lady with white hair and flowers, don't laugh. Time never defeats beauty."

Shen Ningfei said: "Did you get your glib tongue from them?"

"..."

Shen Ningfei chuckled and suddenly asked: "Why this time? It feels so sudden."

Seeing the affection in her starry eyes, Fangyuan didn't hide anything, and said directly: "I have seen too many life and death partings in the past few days, and I feel... you have to enjoy yourself while you are alive, and you can't take advantage of others after you die, right?"

"...???"

"Okay! What a beautiful thought! Are you having fun?! Stop touching me, just wait for me to take advantage of others!"

Shen Ningfei was startled, his tenderness disappeared, his eyes sharpened, he stood up suddenly with his lips pouted, and shouted angrily. (End of chapter)
