Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 39 Codeword Mode
In "Dialogue between the Ancient and Modern Qin Empire", the one who is quantum entangled with the male protagonist "Gu Jing" is the ambitious and passionate "Old Qin".

Thus, Gu Jing was like a bystander who quietly stepped into the long river of history and witnessed the turbulent times of the Qin Empire. Frame after frame of magnificent historical pictures slowly unfolded before his eyes.

This book divides the Qin Empire into four periods, with two books for each period, totaling eight books. It is estimated that the book will be more than 2 million words.

The first period: the rise of the Qin State.

After Duke Xian of Qin died from a poisoned arrow, Duke Xiao of Qin, Ying Quliang, ascended the throne. Qin was weak, surrounded by powerful states and plotting to divide the state. Duke Xiao of Qin issued a decree seeking talented individuals, and Shang Yang entered the state.

By the time of Shang Yang's reforms, the State of Qin began to become prosperous and strong. He implemented a series of measures such as abolishing the well-field system, emphasizing agriculture and sericulture, and rewarding military merits, which enabled the economy of Qin to develop and the combat effectiveness of the army to continue to increase.

The second period: expansion and hegemony.

After the Battle of Maling, the State of Wei was severely damaged. The State of Qin took the opportunity to attack the State of Wei and recover the land west of the Yellow River.

In the Battle of Yique, Bai Qi led the Qin army to defeat the coalition forces of Han and Wei, beheading 240,000 people. The prestige of Qin was greatly boosted, which accelerated the process of unifying the six kingdoms.

The third period: unification of the six kingdoms.

Since the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi killed more than 400,000 Zhao soldiers. From then on, Zhao State never recovered, and there was no force among the six states that could compete with Qin State.

By the time of Qin, the six states of Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan and Qi had been destroyed one after another, completing the great cause of unification.

The fourth period: the establishment and fall of the Qin Dynasty.

Since Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng became emperor and established the Qin Dynasty, he implemented a centralized system and unified weights and measures, currency, and writing.

When Liu Bang attacked Xianyang, Ziying surrendered and the Qin Dynasty fell.

The old Qin Dynasty, with the remaining strength of six generations, finally unified the country, but in just over ten years, the country collapsed and suffered a national disaster.

Time and life.

This book also continues the writing style of the previous book which combines three parts into one, but the whole text is closely related to the main line of the brave old Qin and the national crisis. It will be more tragic and more profound.

Even so, compared with Professor Sun's "The Great Qin Empire", it can still be considered warm and touching.

If "Dialogue with Ancient and Modern Classics of China" is the hook to arouse the interest of middle school students, then "Dialogue with Ancient and Modern Qin Empire" is to deepen their understanding of history.

If you want to know more, you can read Professor Sun's "The Great Qin Empire".

Even so, each has its own strengths and weaknesses and the differences between the two are huge. The only similarity is historical facts.

Of course, if you really want to do this kind of work, you still have to check various historical facts.

Ten minutes later, Hu Xiaobei shook his head violently, gathered his chaotic thoughts, came back to his senses, and couldn't help but ask three soul-searching questions: Who am I, where am I, and what should I do?
Well, the hardest part of writing a book is the beginning. It is like finding a way through a thorn bush, or like being sealed in a warm place. It is normal to get stuck.

But when the first line of text was typed on the keyboard, it was like a spring of inspiration was opened, and the literary thoughts instantly rushed out like a raging flood.

"Code mode, start it!"

Hu Xiaobei let out a low, childish growl in his heart, his eyes flashing with brilliance as he stared at the laptop screen, his mind highly concentrated, silently gathering strength and mobilizing his shadow ability.

In an instant, the light and shadow above the computer keyboard changed, and a faint rectangular black shadow "whoosh" appeared. The outer layer of the black shadow seemed to be polished silk, smooth and flowing.

On the side that fits tightly with the keyboard, hundreds of small tentacles "swish" out, densely packed, like a strange black jungle.

These tentacles were like well-trained soldiers, clicking rapidly according to the thoughts in Hu Xiaobei's mind, accurately corresponding to every key on the keyboard.

"Bang bang bang", the rhythm is brisk, and words appear on the screen one after another like happy little hamsters.

At first, I could only type 100 words per minute. As my writing became more sophisticated, my typing became faster and faster, and my speed gradually increased. 200 words, 400 words, and in the blink of an eye, it soared to over 600 words per minute. The fastest recorded Chinese typing speed is only around 300 words per minute.

Hu Xiaobei's ability to create and output at the same time at an extreme level is simply like cheating, which is enough to make people stunned.

Well, that's true, he did cheat, but of course, it was also due to his own efforts...

In the past few days since buying the laptop, Hu Xiaobei has been developing techniques for typing quickly.

It's not like he hasn't tried typing by himself. Not only is his efficiency impressive, but staring at the screen for a long time makes his eyes sore and prone to myopia.

Relying on shadow abilities is different. No matter how flexible a person's fingers are, they cannot compare to the coordinated operations of hundreds of snake-like shadow tentacles.

With Hu Xiaobei's current ability to control and deform shadows, it would take a lot of time and effort to finalize some new shadow forms for the first time.

After all, it is a delicate job that requires full concentration, outlining, pulling, and adjusting bit by bit, like a skilled sculptor carefully carving a work.

This process may take minutes, hours, or even days.

Once you have determined the dedicated shadow form in the coding mode, it becomes much simpler.

As long as you memorize this data in a state of spiritual perception, subsequent use will be much faster, and often just a few seconds is enough.

It's like making a template, which is a tedious and time-consuming process.

But once the template is made, subsequent production will be much more convenient and quick.

As the shadow tentacles clicked frantically, words quickly gathered on the screen.

Before I knew it, this 100,000-word volume of "The Book of Songs" had been coded.

Shadow tapped his phone and checked the time on the small brick screen, it was almost midnight.

That’s all for tonight.

He stretched out on the bed, stretched his muscles, and ended this "coding war" with a satisfied smile on his face.

In the following time, except for writing at night, Hu Xiaobei spent his daytime studying in the library as before.

It was also because of this that his knowledge of film and television gradually increased, and his novels accumulated at a rate of 100,000 words per night.

As of midnight on July 7, the first three volumes of the first part of "Dialogue with Ancient and Modern Classics of Illuminating China", totaling approximately 12 words, have been successfully coded.

Even the first period of "Dialogue between the Ancient and Modern Qin Empire", the rise of the Qin State, with about 500,000 words, has been completed.

Those lines of text are like the footprints of history, leaving a heavy echo in the long river of time.

The world outside the window also experienced a thrilling "baptism".

For two consecutive days, torrential rain poured down, ravaging the city, as if God was splashing ink with a brush, but the ink turned into torrential rain, bringing many changes.

On July 7, the area around Lianhua Bridge suddenly became a "swamp", with the accumulated water quickly rising to two meters, paralyzed traffic, and the city's veins were blocked by the accumulated water, and the daily rhythm was completely disrupted.

After a series of heavy rains, on the morning of the 13th, dark clouds gathered and dispersed in the sky, and the air was still filled with the damp smell before the rain, the faint fragrance of flowers and plants, and the noisy sound of the crowd.

Although there is no scorching sun, the atmosphere on the Beijing Film Academy campus is as hot as boiling water.

Accompanied by a group of school leaders, Hu Xiaobei walked towards the interview venue with a straight posture, big strides and head held high, welcoming his first media interview as a student of Beijing Film Academy.
