41: Chapter 41 of "The Three-Body Problem" has shocked netizens; is this a work by a new author?

"Heh, a newbie who just joined the forum dares to post such a provocative thread? Interesting."

"I might ignore you when it comes to other things, but regarding science fiction, there's no one more authoritative than me, okay?"

"I started reading science fiction at five, and today I'm thirty. I've read at least a hundred million words of sci-fi."

"How dare you say I don't understand science fiction?"

The second post was still attacking Jiang Feng, and the language was even more intense.

"Where did this idiot come from? Daring to brag like that? Aren't you afraid of being cyberbullied?"

"Fine, you like using this method to promote your trashy novel, right? Then this big brother will flame you until you cry!"

The third post was more neutral, from a passerby.

"It's obvious that the OP really wants to promote their science fiction novel."

"But in all fairness, I've been reading novels for so many years and I've never seen a real hard science fiction novel."

"So-called science fiction is basically all soft sci-fi; it doesn't hold up to scrutiny at all."

"So, I suspect the OP is just putting up a false front."

Up to over a hundred replies, basically all of them were attacking Jiang Feng.

Clearly, these people hadn't even bothered to look at the novel Jiang Feng posted afterward. They had started attacking Jiang Feng just by looking at the thread title.

But Jiang Feng was indifferent to such mild, inconsequential attacks. After all, since he had posted such a provocative thread to gain massive exposure in a short time, he had already anticipated the consequences.

Jiang Feng understood the principle that one must bear the weight of the crown they wish to wear. Therefore, he basically ignored the replies attacking him.

However, by the time the replies reached over a hundred, the attacks significantly decreased. This was because, by then, people had started reading the actual text of "The Three-Body Problem" that Jiang Feng had posted below.

The story begins in that extraordinary era. In that era, a young girl named Ye Wenjie saw her father persecuted to death during that movement.

This planted a seed of hatred in the young Ye Wenjie. After reaching adulthood, Ye Wenjie suffered repeated betrayals, making her even more disillusioned with the world.

Originally, these seeds of anti-social behavior and hatred might have faded with the torrent of time. But as it happened, at this time, through a stroke of luck, Ye Wenjie entered a place called Red Coast Base.

There, as an ordinary staff member, Ye Wenjie slowly began to display her talent.

The above content was the first part Jiang Feng posted.

This content quickly caught the attention of some netizens, who left comments in the replies below.

"This setting is kind of interesting."

"So, is this Ye Wenjie the protagonist?"

"Father dies tragically, friends and family betray her—this is definitely a superstar origin story."

"However, I haven't seen any connection between this novel and science fiction yet."

"But the author writes quite rigorously, whether it's the historical events or some of the sci-fi settings."

"This feels more like a historical period piece."

"Still, I really admire the author; they dared to write about the stories of those years."

Jiang Feng saw these comments from netizens who had read the first part, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Because at this moment, the fish had already taken the bait. As long as the netizens were hooked, the subsequent content would absolutely stun them.

Next was the content of the second part of the novel "The Three-Body Problem."

Ye Wenjie, originally just an ordinary staff member at the Red Coast Base, couldn't access the high-level secrets of the base. She only knew that she listened to broadcasts from the universe every day.

Until one day, she received a response from the depths of the universe: "Do not answer!"

If it were an ordinary person, receiving this reply might cause shock, followed by immediately reporting to their superiors, or simply turning off the broadcast.

But who was Ye Wenjie? In her heart, there had always been a seed of hatred. She hated this society, and she hated this world. Therefore, she chose to reply without hesitation.

From then on, the Trisolaran civilization knew the coordinates of Earth and decided to abandon their own harsh planet and head toward Earth.

At the same time, Ye Wenjie established the Earth-Trisolaris Organization on Earth, becoming the spiritual leader of the organization, aiming to destroy human civilization.

And when the netizens read this part of the content, they were directly shocked and started replying below the thread.

"Holy crap, I admit that what I said just now was a bit loud."

"The setting of this book is too rigorous and perfect."

"The various concepts proposed, like the Sophons and the Three-Body game, are just too ahead of their time."

"Is this really a science fiction novel that a human could write?"

"I've already started looking forward to whether the Earth-Trisolaris Organization led by Ye Wenjie can destroy Earth."

"My god, this is depicted too realistically. I'm already starting to get scared, wondering if there really are Trisolarans coming to invade our planet."

"I admit that this novel written by the OP has truly refreshed my understanding of science fiction, alright."

The comments after the hundredth reply were basically all unanimous praise. Clearly, everyone was shocked by "The Three-Body Problem." Even later on, the replies were basically all urging for updates.

"OP, update quickly!!!"

"I beg you, write a bit more."

"Update quickly, I can't sleep at night."

"If the content that follows can maintain this quality, this year's science fiction award will definitely go to the OP."

"The quality of this book is so high that I even suspect I'm not browsing a forum."

"The OP posting such a high-quality novel for free is practically a public service."

Netizens kept urging for updates. Jiang Feng opened his private messages, and they were basically all requests for updates. Many netizens even started trying to tip Jiang Feng's account to urge him to update.

Seeing these comments and requests for updates, Jiang Feng's mouth curled up. Then, he updated the last part of the first volume at the end of the post.

This part of the content covered the first direct confrontation between humanity and the Earth-Trisolaris Organization. Human nanotech scientist Wang Miao and police officer Shi Qiang gradually discovered the existence of the Trisolaran civilization and the Earth-Trisolaris Organization through a virtual game called "Three-Body."

They even formulated the Guzheng Operation, destroyed the headquarters of the Earth-Trisolaris Organization, and obtained all the information about the Trisolaran civilization.

But humanity discovered with horror that the Trisolaran fleet had already set out. Moreover, due to the existence of Sophons, the fundamental science of human civilization had been completely locked down.

After posting this part, Jiang Feng smiled, as if he had done something mischievous. He believed that this content would absolutely refresh the netizens' understanding once again. The content of "The Three-Body Problem" was, for the science fiction of this world, absolutely a dimensional strike.
