Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 245 Poor Parker
The book "Dune" requires some patience to read, not only because it is very long, but more importantly, a complete world different from reality is constructed in this book.

In this world, there are many things that readers have never seen.

In Chapter 1 alone, several incomprehensible nouns appear in it, such as "Nine String Bagas", "Kavaz Hednaqi", and "Mentats".

These things are not explained immediately in the book, and only after reading will you know what these things represent.

A novel is not an instruction manual. Of course, it is impossible to introduce the background, characters, and environment of the story all at once, all of which need to be felt and understood by readers themselves while reading.

As the reading progresses, readers will gradually discover that the background of the whole story is probably in the distant future. The specific time is not explained, and can only be guessed through people's conversations.

At this time, human beings have left the earth and established a star empire.

The entire society is controlled by three forces, one is the Cosmic Association that monopolizes the transportation between the stars, the other is the government of the star empire, and the third is the earth emperors who control the territory of the planet.

These three forces rule the entire star empire with a delicate relationship.

Among the many earth emperors, there was a Duke Atreides.

The Atreides family occupies a lot of power in the empire, and their status is very high. It is also because the power is too great. The king felt that his rule would be threatened, so he found an excuse and got them to the barren planet Arakis. .

And the name of this book is also derived from this planet.

dune.

Most of the planet Arrakis is a desolate desert, and sand dunes are the most appropriate description.

Although the planet Arrakis is barren, it produces a material called melanki, which is similar to spices and is a special medicine for treating diseases of the elderly.

Everyone is innocent, but he is guilty. In order to seize the planet, the enemy, Baron Harkonny, persuaded the king to lend him the invincible Shaduka Legion to attack the planet Arrakis. Finally, the capture was successful, and the Duke committed suicide.

These things are equivalent to the background of the whole story. The real story begins after the home was destroyed and the Duke's son Paul and his mother escaped.

……

In a short period of time, almost no one can read the entire "Dune", but there are many discussions about the plot on the Internet.

[I would like to ask you guys, what exactly is Mentat. 】

[What is Gormthorn? 】

[It feels like the first few chapters are cloudy. 】

[Yeah, I don’t know a lot of terms. I searched the Internet, but found no relevant answers. It seems that these things were invented by the author himself. 】

【Hey, although I haven't read the book yet, I feel that the author is very ambitious this time after hearing what you said. 】

[I don't know if the ambition is big or not, but I'm afraid he will mess it up. 】

[Damn it?You are joking? 】

[I read a lot, why do I still have some supernatural abilities, isn't this science fiction? 】

[Who told you that this kind of thing can't appear in science fiction? 】

【Yeah, since it’s science fiction, don’t try to explain it with the scientific knowledge we’ve learned, otherwise it’s not science fiction, but science fiction. 】

【I don’t care if it’s a science fiction novel or not. Although I still don’t understand many things in it, the plot of the novel is still very attractive to me. I’ve just read a third of it, and I don’t know what will happen to Paul. 】

……

Parker is facing a difficult problem, because the last live broadcast was very popular, so this time he is going to do another live broadcast.

He had already announced the live broadcast to his fans a few days ago, so China was twelve hours late. When "Dune" was officially released in North America, many fans were already waiting in the live broadcast room to watch Parker read to them.

He does this kind of live broadcast, and most of the people who watch it are fans of Huaxia. Usually, when everyone comes to watch, they have the idea of ​​wanting to see the reaction of foreigners to Zhang Zhong's novels.

But this time was a little different. Many Huaxia netizens ran over to see if Parker could finish reading this book in one go.

"The anchor is on his way..."

This sentence was displayed on the screen, Parker hasn't started the broadcast yet, but there are already many people in the comment area.

[When will the broadcast start? 】

[Will you watch it all at once this time? 】

【I just want to see what kind of expression Parker will have when he sees the thickness of this book. 】

[Read it all at once?Is the anchor active? 】

[Hasn’t some domestic readers already read it? 】

[Those people are perverts with one eye and ten lines, I doubt if they are fake. 】

[There should be no fraud, because some people have published book reviews. 】

[Yo, here we come, the anchor is here. 】

Parker held up his mobile phone, and he wanted to broadcast the whole process of buying books for fans to watch.

"Hi everyone, I'm at Norton Bookstore in New York, which is the largest bookstore in New York, and Norton is also the largest bookstore chain in the United States."

Parker pointed the camera at the bookstore, and it can be seen that there are already many people gathered on the new book shelves in the bookstore.

"I came a little late, so many people have already arrived, but everyone can rest assured that with the current popularity of pz, the first print should be completely enough, and there will be no situation where you can't buy it."

"Okay, now I'm going to squeeze in and buy a book."

Parker squeezed into the crowd holding his mobile phone, and saw "Dune" on the bookshelf at a glance.

When he saw the book, Parker was taken aback. The book looks a bit thick.

The camera didn't move, and the fans in the live broadcast room were all joking.

[I'm probably scared, I want to see his expression. 】

【I just want to ask him if he's still mad. 】

After a while, Parker walked out of the crowd with the book and turned the camera on himself again. He forced a smile, "It seems that the length of this book is a bit beyond imagination, but it doesn't matter, I will definitely broadcast it live for everyone to see."

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you about the situation in the bookstore just now. The only book on the shelf of new books is "Dune", so the group of people you see now are actually here to buy "Dune" , so there is no doubt that pz is very popular in North America."

After returning home with the book, Parker set up the camera, then sighed, and began to read the book.

Of course, the Huaxia friend who acted as his translator was also chatting with the fans all the time.

Huaxia Translator: "I haven't read the book yet. Of course, I can't read it even if I wanted to. We didn't even pay attention to the news that Huaxia put it on the shelves. This is Parker's request. He said that in order not to affect the freshness of today's live broadcast. Sigh , Poor Parker, if he had known that this book was so thick, he would probably have adapted the plan."
