Chapter 57: Remarks on the release and Easter egg announcement (very long but recommended reading)

Dear, respected, and doting book friends.

The book was officially launched this afternoon.

I see that many authors nowadays take it for granted that their works are put on the shelves and don't even comment on their works anymore.

But I am a new author after all, and this is my first book, so I'd better give you a few more words of trust.

I will also explain to you some of the previous plot settings and hidden easter eggs.

1. About aliens.

Many Warhammer fans cannot accept the fact that aliens can infect Astartes. In fact, I mentioned it briefly in the author's chapter at the end of Chapter 13. It was vague, so you may not get my idea.

Judging from the strength of the setting, the aliens and ordinary future space humans can fight back and forth, and normally they should be crushed when facing space marines.

I did write that the aliens were crushed by the Space Marines, there's nothing wrong with that.

But... I think many things cannot be considered only based on the paper strength of the setting. I thought about this issue when I first conceived this book.

Does it mean that whoever sets the best data on paper will be the king?

If so, all the works of Tolkien, the true ancestor of Western fantasy, such as The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, and The Hobbit, would not be written.

In this case, would it be like traveling through a random mindless online cultivation novel, where everyone comes out blasting stars with bare hands and shattering the void, and in a moment the star torches are extinguished and the four gods are doomed?

Therefore, I will gradually reveal to you the worldview structure of my reincarnation world in the chapters of the next few volumes. Smart readers may have roughly guessed it by now.

On the other hand, GW is a company that is very good at borrowing from popular culture, and Warhammer 40K is a very open and inclusive worldview universe - to put it bluntly, GW will copy whoever is popular, and that's okay, others also often copy Warhammer, such as Blizzard.

Of course, GW will not copy it directly, and will definitely make some Warhammer-style modifications.

James Cameron's "Terminator" series is a global hit and has become popular, which is why the Necron Ribs Underpants Dragon in Warhammer 40K was created, otherwise it was called a chaos robot.

The "Alien" series was a global hit, pioneering science fiction horror aesthetics, science fiction religious metaphors, and science fiction sexual metaphors, which led to the creation of the Tyranids in Warhammer 40K.

To put it bluntly, the Alien is the father of the Tyranids!

He raised his son's paper data, and then turned around and beat his father.

Do you think it is appropriate?

I don't think it's appropriate.

Let me give you an example:

suppose there is a third-rate online writer who draws inspiration for the settings from Jin Yong's novels, and then writes a fantasy world of his own. With a stroke of his pen, he sets the concentration of spiritual energy in this world to be ten times that of Jin Yong's martial arts world. Then, after the male protagonist practices his magical skills here, he travels to Jin Yong's martial arts world and kills Linghu Chong, Zhang Wuji, Qiao Feng, Yang Guo, Feng Qingyang and the others with one sword.

Do you think it is reasonable?

The concentration of spiritual energy is ten times, which is reasonable.

Do you think it is appropriate?

I find it quite inappropriate.

It's fine if you borrowed other people's inspiration and settings, but you also want to beat others up?

It's okay for a son to beat up his father, but he's still smug about it after beating him up. Where is the moral code?

Why talk about sons and fathers?

Because changing the value based on someone else's settings to increase the intensity is so damn easy and brainless. It's just a matter of changing two numbers with a stroke of a pen, right? No one really thinks changing a value is awesome, right?

It is very difficult to create an interesting, logically self-consistent, and cool-looking world view setting system. You have the ability to create one yourself. Who here has this ability? Since it is clear that you want to copy, is it too much to call me dad?

As for talking about primitive people and modern people, and worshipping the past and despising the present... people who can come up with such analogies do not have the IQ to read my book. I suggest you retake compulsory education first.

I am not belittling this kind of "tribute" and "borrowing". After all, all articles in the world are plagiarized, inspiration has no copyright, and everyone on the planet is borrowing from each other. I think there is nothing wrong with it.

After all, 90% of the fantasy and cultivation novels on the entire Internet are written based on the works of Huanzhu Louzhu, Jin Yong, Gu Long, Huang Yi, Liang Yusheng, and Wen Ruian.

After all, seventy to eighty percent of the Western fantasy novels on the entire Internet are written based on the structure of DND Dungeons & Dragons.

It's all original, right?

There's nothing wrong with that.

The same goes for Aliens and Tyranids.

So I didn't change a word about the strength setting of Warhammer. I just set it up when the two universes were linked, where the original book didn't make it clear: the aliens are weak at first, but their upper limit potential is infinite. Is this reasonable and appropriate?

Is there a word in the original Warhammer that says Space Marines can't be infected by black water, and that alien blood can't corrode ceramsite?

No.

I described the Astartes completely based on the strength set in the original Warhammer novel. I didn't weaken it at all. I even strengthened it slightly based on my selfish love for Warhammer.

Some of you who haven't read half of the original work, and have only read some messed-up derivative works that came from who knows where, and who talk about demigods and then go out on patrol as Warhammer policemen, don't come and question my weakening of Astartes.

On combat performance: Astartes died in droves during the Great Crusade. On technology: Astartes jetpacks are rocket-propelled, jetbikes are fuel cells, Leman Russ tanks have a range of 1km (modern main battle tanks have 8km), Titans' volcano cannons have a range of 24km (modern howitzers have 50km)... There are countless examples like this, and I really don't know what those people who know nothing can brag about.

This is a textual research-based novel, not one of those cultivation novels disguised as science fiction.

This is an infinite flow novel, and it is not a mindless flattery simply to cater to the tastes of a certain group. Astartes is the same as he is in my novel.

Those who say that xenos can't infect Astartes typically don't understand xenos, nor do they understand Warhammer.

The original Warhammer novel emphasizes not the rationality of details, but a sense of tragic epic, so the wording and sentences are exaggerated, and the settings completely cater to the needs of the plot. Secondary creators often follow suit and use this epic description, frequently using expressions such as "demigod" and "god". Book friends who don't know much about Warhammer might think that Space Marines can explode stars with their bare hands and ascend to heaven in broad daylight.

Some unscrupulous title-party secondary creation video accounts have led to a bunch of Hammer fans who have never watched any other sci-fi IP except Warhammer, and do not understand the real settings. They rely entirely on a bunch of rumors they heard from nowhere, and shout about how awesome Warhammer 40K is every day, showing off everywhere and being annoying.

Later I discovered that even under the comics, animations and CGs officially produced by GW, there were a bunch of hammer kids shouting that this was unreasonable and that was unreasonable, that the Astartes were too weak, etc.... I understood at that time that what the hammer kids wanted was not the facts and the truth, what they wanted was Warhammer 40K that was in line with their own mindset of brainless and invincible interstellar cultivation and space fairy heroes.

2. About the plot line.

Some veteran Warhammer fans are looking forward to the protagonist's participation in the main storyline of Warhammer. I also know that the deaths of many primarchs and mortal heroes have made everyone very regretful, and I hope to make up for this regret in my novel.

I said it in advance, regrets can be made up, but participation in the main storyline, basically, won't happen.

In fact, in the very beginning of the Marvel Universe plot, it was clearly about Thor's story, but I just briefly mentioned Thor and started writing about the Reincarnations attacking Stark Tower.

All the characters in the later Warhammer 40K universe, Ogedei and Talar of the White Scars, Vlahos and Gurth of the Ultramarines, these characters, the mission of cutting off the rebels' logistics supply lines, escorting Master Quinto, etc. ... were all written by me, and I focused very little on the original plot.

I said at the beginning that I was just using the world view of Warhammer 40K to write my own story.

Write your own story instead of having the protagonist participate in the original author's plot.

This is very important to me.

Maybe many readers have not read the original novel. Even if I become a shameless repeater of the original novel and plagiarize the official original novel and publish it in my own words, no one will find out.

But I won't do that.

This is my original intention for writing this book.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Many book friends praised my Warhammer writing as being good and said it was the best Warhammer fan fiction they had ever read.

Thank you for your recognition.

I also told you in advance -

All subsequent plot worlds, Marvel, Cthulhu, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, Pacific Rim, etc.

I will not let the protagonist participate in the main storyline of the original movie.

I want to write my own story.

above.

3. A common problem.

There was a sentence in my original introduction: a textual research-based infinite flow novel.

This sentence carries a lot of baggage and is completely unnecessary for a fast-paced online novel.

But I'm a newcomer and I still have some worries in my heart.

I have also been an online literature reader. I started reading online literature when I was in the fifth grade of elementary school. That was in the early Internet era.

With the development of online literature, a large number of online literature readers read books like scanning a scanner, and they don't care at all about the foreshadowing or preparation made by the author.

They don't read the book carefully, and then they come to the chapter reviews to question the author for what he wrote wrong here and there.

I have seen many readers like this when I read books, and I believe you have seen them too.

I have no experience in writing books, and I'm still working on the details, so I hope that everyone will read my book a little slowly.

I can accept all your questions and discussions about the details. You can complete the content that I don't want to remove in the main text. I don't mind it and I will answer them patiently.

But please believe me, I dare to write about the Warhammer 40K universe. I dare not say that I am a veteran Hammer fan, but I have definitely looked up more information than at least some of the Warhammer fans.

4. Easter egg time!

The first Easter egg is very obscure.

After the protagonist was deceived by the internship recruitment of Stark Industries' holographic projection department, he actually went to a company called "Beckhardt Light and Shadow Effects".

This name is not chosen randomly.

Book lovers who have watched the Spider-Man movie know that the villain Mysterio was originally an employee of Stark Industries, and later used special effects to become a villain. Some people have guessed this.

"Daniel Beckhardt" is Mysterio's colleague. He inherited Mysterio's mantle after his death and became the second generation Mysterio.

It has nothing to do with the plot, it's just a boring easter egg, haha.

The second easter egg is the male protagonist's white scar name.

Many people guessed it.

Half of the White Scars came from Terra, and were of Terran descent, not Chogris, but the Primarch made them all change their names to Chinese or Mongolian styles.

Qingshan comes from the work "Mercenary World" by Master Shuo Bu De, the second male lead, the Holy Dragon Knight, Hark von Da Qingshan.

I said this was the first online novel I read, but that's not right. This is the first online novel I read in physical form.

So the impression is quite deep.

By the way, the first online novel I read was a book written by a eunuch, called "Legend of the Little Soldier", from Taiwan. Has anyone heard of it?

There are also some details that are not considered Easter eggs, such as the identity card and social security ID card that the male protagonist uses when he first comes to the Marvel world. The card is the same as the regular social security ID card in the United States, with the same starting number and number of digits.

The above is a bunch of nonsense I want to say recently.

Start typing.
