Watching the Dawn

In this era of the pan-galactic system, due to the distance between celestial bodies and expensive buoy network communication costs. Both televisions and civilian networks are naturally divided into countless fragments by individual galaxies, and humans seem to be returning to the era of "Earth is not a village". This opportunity has revived the publishing industry for a second youth!

Within Starlink, there are four major monopoly giants in the publishing industry-I will not say the specific name, but will the largest one be called "People's Literature Publishing House"? ! In order to stop repeating the same mistakes, these industry giants are actively diversifying their operations, not only operating electronic publications, but also developing a new product-"portrait media".

"Portrait media" is closely related to electronic publications. How to say ... similar to a virtual scene. Most of the current electronic reading materials are somatosensory. Importing the books into a universal tool and then connecting them to a holographic device will give you the feeling of being "immersive." For example, if you are driving a warship as the protagonist, you are flying the fighter plane as the protagonist, and you are driving the missile as the protagonist ... Well, everyone knows that once the somatosensory prevails, driving electronics will inevitably become the mainstream.

When you have gone through robbery, slaying Reynolds, bombarding Klogan, fighting the sharp legions, and finally saving the weak Asari, of course ... cough, you need one or more girls to be with you ! Then the question is coming-this is a virtual reality novel! It's no longer a sentence like "Lingbo microsteps, Luo socks dust", or "Qiaoxiaoqianxi, beautiful eyes look forward to" ... it will let readers yy for thousands of years!

This image must be specific, realistic, interactive, and able to come out of the novel! So ... "Portrait Media" was born! For example, like Shepard ... cough, it is still Jane Alexia. If she wants to be a star, it's simple-sign a contract with a publishing company. Then, under the guidance of the publishing house, carry out targeted self-cultivation-yes, literally!

For example, your contract stipulates the roles of a **** female warrior, a blue / floor card, a **** agent ... and so on. Similar roles. All you need to do is to maintain a perfect body, do regular body scans, and then take images and write a diary every day. Or upload some virtual reality videos to your personal website. Ok! You don't need to contact anyone and do any substantial services. I made money.

The only thing to be done by a user who sells the image rights is two things-first, keep your image constantly; second, automatically lose any rights to portraits, body shapes, etc ... even if someone has recorded a video with you The video uploading network of the image, the right to sue also belongs to the publishing house ... In short, this is an industry that makes a lot of money by innate conditions. Of course, cartoonists are also very happy, they don't have to look good. You can also make a lot of money by relying on the created two-dimensional characters-but the Japanese style of creating characters that changed hairstyles and clothing styles is over.

When Li Yunchen helped Lu Yuan deliver, several major publishing companies were first ruled out-this is a pure text novel, there is no relevant surrounding added value, large companies will not read it. And the rise of virtual reality has led to the dullness of human universal perception-the new media stimulates great, human perception begins to passivate; human passivation, the novel must increase the stimulation-and finally lead to each novel not to jump several times Spaceship, or a pillow fight, you are embarrassed to publish!

Li Yunchen was in a black situation in the publishing industry. Helplessly voted for the distribution network company ...

This company is the inevitable destination for all authors who have no access to publishing. The author signed a formula contract, and it was completely ignored. This company is also not responsible for publishing. It plays the role of managing the resource pool. There are countless large and small publishing houses in the pool to find those buried treasures.

If several companies are ready to adopt a book, then they will complete the coordination work through a bidding mechanism. Afterwards, there will be a standardized standard process to ensure the interests of several parties, such as income, taxation, and publishing. This process There is hardly any human intervention, and of course, there is no need for the author to blend in.

In this way, the three-none novel of "My 20th Century" (no somatosensory, no binding portraits, and no irritating scenes). After being thrown into the resource pool, it sank directly to the bottom. Until a month has passed. It was just turned up by someone ...

Tom Adams, president and editor-in-chief and marketing specialist of Toman Publishing Company, brushing his teeth. While leaning in front of the mirror, I looked at my dark circles. Thin hair, high hairline and loose dull skin, anyone can see that this is a tired middle-aged man.

After a simple wash, holding milk and sandwiches, wearing pajamas, Tom walked into his workshop-this is the Toman Publishing Company.

"Hey, Tom." A young man's voice sounded on the terminal, and Joe, the company's assistant, greeted him.

"Hey, Joe." Mumbled a reply, and Tom lay down on the couch, looking at the terminal with his eyes blank. Damn working from home, I have been at home for six days without going out-I need the outside world now! Need interpersonal communication! Need fresh air! Need ... that!

He wanted to yell at him so loudly, and then dropped something and said "I quit"!

But no, he couldn't shout at the mirror, it looks silly, because he is. Yes, the Toman Publishing Company, this newly opened publishing company that claims to be strong, actually has only one employee, um, and also adds a semi-finished product intelligence-a self-aware system prohibited by Starlink laws- -"Joe" disguised as a simulated intelligent tool.

"You look too tired, you need to rest." Joe said.

"Yes, I need to rest, I need to go out ..." Tom mumbled vaguely like something in his mouth, "But his / her Star Alliance does not rest! You know, Joe, I need to succeed! Yes Yes, I need to succeed. I need Julie to come back, I need her to come back to me! And what does all this need? Xingyuan! Xingyuan tm ca n’t buy love, but it can buy Julie! That ’s the problem ... "

As if knowing that he was caught in a terrible self-talk, he changed the subject: "Do you need to check the submission list?"

"Oh?" Tom raised his head. "Check, throw it on that wall."

Pointing to the wall on the left, Tom pedaled the ground. Slide the sofa chair over.

The holographic screen opened, and rows of sorted out bibliographies came out, all of which were added by Joe after reading them. At a glance. Of course, this pre-reading also has strict monitoring and specifications.

"The Ultimate Ma Run"

"My Woman Lee Thrush" (This author named John Farrell should be dragged out ...)

"Iron Wall"

"Life and Death Pursuit"

...

"War! War! Still a **** war!" Tom threw the pen out in anger. "I hate Li Huamei! The original theme of the war should be outdated ... but Li Huamei pulled the readers back! Guess what? Next will be a wave of personal heroic novels. Then Boom !!! The publishing industry is big Shock-I think, we know, big publishers also know, but those **** authors don't know! "

Since the discovery of the Milky Way, human beings have encountered various races, strong, weak, peace-loving, war-loving. Various races surround the human world. When Star Alliance was still very weak, human beings were always in fear of war. That kind of vague fear permeates the lives of every person on earth. We do n’t have a fearless ship, we do n’t have an aircraft carrier, we do n’t have a warrior, our scientific research is thousands of years behind. Can fly to our door! These facts haunt the entire human race like a nightmare. As a result, social resources as a whole lean toward the military, and scientific research resources lean toward the military.

At the same time, the description of "winning the interstellar war through magical tactics" and "the lone hero save the world" prevailed-people surrounded by despair can get some comfort from these books. Yes, when the strength is not strong, we still have the magic tactics inherited for thousands of years, and the lonely heroes of human beings that are constantly emerging. We have not failed!

Today. In less than two decades, the Star Alliance has installed a new generation of fearless ships and trained soldiers who are fully adapted to interstellar warfare. The military strength of the Star Alliance is in the galaxy. Already ranked first in the Feichang Parliamentary State! Starlink has become a force that cannot be ignored.

At the same time, after understanding the current status of the Milky Way, mankind knows that the Shenbao Council, which now governs the Milky Way, is a ruler dedicated to peace. They prohibit any full-scale conflict, regulate and suppress local wars, and diplomatic settlement is always the first choice for solving problems. As a result, Starlink made more diplomatic efforts, cooperated with Sharp to develop warship technology, exchanged scientific research results with Sierra Core, and actively participated in the exploration of the ruins of the Provincial Immortals. Greatly shortened the gap between the three races of the Shenbao Parliament.

Today, where everyone lives and works in peace and content, the rate of volunteering to join the military has declined. The vigorous development of civilian technology all implies that the shadow of war has disappeared. Under this general trend. It's a matter of time before the war-themed novels fall. This can be seen from the change in sales this year.

The publishing company has mailed the market feedback to each author, but unfortunately, they still received batches of war novels! Especially under the fanatical influence of "Skirian Assault", the authors of the war novels have expressed that they can fight for another 500 years!

"Throw away all the rubbish, I would rather publish a cookery guide than operate these novels! God, this is a **** opportunity! But where are those **** smart authors!"

Tired, irritable, and nervous, Tom Adams is inexplicable in a middle-aged crisis.

"Tom, there is a text-only book here, I think it's special." When Tom calmed down, Smart Joe showed a book without a cover on the screen and recommended it.

"A text-only book? No body feeling? No visual effects? No music?" Tom Adams is like seeing aliens ... oh, now aliens are very common ... just like seeing Julie back Incredible.

"No." The answer is unquestionable. Joe is the code that escaped with the help of electronic equipment when the Lunar Research Institute was destroyed, the core is incomplete.

"Damn, how can there be such a book now ?! Are you kidding me? Open the first few chapters for me to see." Tom Adams came to the spirit.

The holographic screen changes, showing the semi-autobiographical first-person novel written by Lu Yuan.

"Is my 20th century through the novel?"

Tom Adams muttered to himself, but he looked at it line by line with a strange operation. The non-sense book made him very awkward to read, but before he got used to it, Tom was quickly attracted by the content of the book ...

When he lifted his head from the book, the whole morning had passed, and the head he kept leaning on made his neck completely stiff. He wriggled painfully while thinking, subconsciously fiddling with the pen in his hand.

"Joe, I think ... this is a good book ... although there are no legends, no spaceship plot, no magnificent war ... but this is a good book!" Tom Adams began to get excited! "I really can't describe this feeling to you, it's like ... It's like the dinner that Julie made in the past, and then the feeling when we were eating together at the table-ordinary, but very real!

What's more, everything described in that book is novel ... Maybe the author's writing is average, but his archaeological and data-seeking abilities are fascinating! The whole book is flawless ... I believe some readers will be interested. Hidden in the slightly rustic text are details and logic that can't resist scrutiny. This author seems to be really from two hundred years ago! "

Tom turned the book to find the author's introduction. A small photo composed entirely of black and white, with long hair, thin, somewhat haggard and melancholic images, seemed to be incompatible with the current era of endeavor.

Of course, if he really understands the 20th century, he knows that this is a typical Wen Qing rock decadent 2b youth image. It took Lu Yuan a lot of time to reshape himself like that, and finally he fixed it through the "face-changing technique". Familiar people can confirm that this is Lu Yuan. Unfamiliar people can't see that they are the same person when they take photos. The subtle angle makes the measurement of interpupillary distance and facial features lack contrast.

… This is the new technology of Dawn.

"The survivors of the first contact war, the orphans of the Shanxi colony ... This introduction is very interesting!", Tom looked at the author's introduction with interest. "Joe, people like him are usually anarchists or absolutely liberal. By?"

"Absolutely liberal."

Seeing that Tom was still tossing and turning, Joe reminded a little of the exhausted trial time and said, "Then are we going to bid for copyright?"

"Of course! I want this book! Initiate an auction! We will at any cost!"

The publishing bidding system is a super complex system operated by the distribution network company. Of course, human society has developed to today's system, and each of them is super complicated-such as kissing to death. The publisher will convert the share, the number of distributions, the distribution of publicity, etc. into the auction score, and then bid on a certain distribution area, and the one with the highest price will be awarded. This book describing human life, the distribution area of ​​the Star Alliance will be the main source of profit ~ www.readwn.com ~ is also the focus of the battle.

Tom waited restlessly.

In the bidding system, he is still a solitary offer.

"What's the matter, aren't those people blind? They can't see the value of this book ?! Or ... this book is worthless?" Someone made him uncomfortable when competing, but in such a weird situation like now It is even more anxious. It is a pity that the real situation is that-although large companies have also exchanged treasures from this pool, this pure text book failed to enter the evaluation system of large companies at the beginning! The simulated intelligence of big companies is just a computer program, and the book is automatically filtered out the first time.

Plain text? what!

In this way, after 24 hours of hard work, Tom and his Toman publishing company got a four-week distribution right at a near-guaranteed price ...
