Chapter 200: 170 "Zhao’s Screening Method" officially on sale

Weekend.

In Zhengyang No.13 Middle School, the senior year is still going on with their usual tutoring and Zhao Yi is usually studying in the classroom. Though it looks like a very ordinary day, it’s actually a big day.

"Zhao’s Screening Method" has officially been published and is now available for sale.

The Capital Youth Publishing House also held a small launch event for it. However, neither the first author Zhao Yi nor the second author Xu Chao were present. The launch was just a simple introduction to the book.

There were only a few media reporters present, and only a small circle of onlookers gathering around. There was nothing grand about the scene.

Based on the atmosphere of the book launch, it felt like a ’flop’ book, seemingly impossible to sell. Contrary to expectation, as it was a professional book on computer science targeting professionals, there was no need for things like ’fan meet and greets’. The book launch was just a formality.

Nevertheless, the launch was quite successful.

Those who attended the launch were technical staff from big companies and library administrators from universities. They ordered large numbers of the book on the spot; they were buying a minimum of ten books each. Some people came specifically to buy the book, placing orders for dozens, some even hundreds of books.

Within a short hour, the several large boxes of books prepared for the launch were completely sold out.

And this was just the beginning.

Zhao Yi’s "Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering" is very well-known in the academic field and within high-end computer science research circles. Just a simple promotion by "Capital Youth Publishing House" resulted in a massive amount of pre-orders. The cumulative pre-orders reached over thirty thousand volumes.

"Zhao’s Screening Method" had just started selling and it was already a hit. Numerous people went to various bookstores to buy the book. Even the larger bookstores only stocked a few boxes of the book, resulting in a situation where the book supply didn’t meet the demand. Essentially, the entire stock sold out on the first day of release.

Most people weren’t surprised.

The Rubik’s cube calculator and "Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering" are both famous enough. "Zhao’s Screening Method," which discloses the core algorithm of the Rubik’s cube calculator and also provides analysis of key steps, was bound to gain a lot of interest. The college student population alone is massive. Let’s not even talk about professionals.

Domestic students majoring in fields related to computer science are too numerous to count. Even if only a small portion decided to buy it, the number would be considerable. freeweɓnøvel.com

Additionally, some universities were paying attention as well.

Previously, some universities were considering making "Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering" a standalone elective course or incorporating other content into computer science textbooks. Primarily because "Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering Method" was simple enough and didn’t involve deeply complex mathematics or computer knowledge. It was purely a computer algorithm.

However, they got stuck in the beginning.

"Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering Method" was very complex. There weren’t many people who could fully understand it. Even finding qualified teachers was challenging.

The current "Zhao’s Screening Method" was practically a godsend. The Rubik’s cube calculator’s core algorithm was secondary. The most significant thing was that it was an application of "Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering," which could assist people in understanding "Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering."

In short, the market for the book was huge.

Zhao Yi quickly got wind of the news. He had expected that the book would be a bestseller because it held a ’technological monopoly.’ There were no other similar books on the market.

A monopoly could bring profits.

Of course, no one would associate "Zhao’s Screening Method" with monopolies. Instead, they’d think of Zhao Yi as magnanimous for publicizing the Rubik’s cube calculator’s core source code in the form of a book.

Think about it.

If Zhao Yi sold the source code of the Rubik’s cube calculator to a company, then only the senior staff of the company’s technical department could see the source code. No one else would have access to it.

Now, on the other hand, it has been completely disclosed to the public.

All someone had to do was spend a few tens of yuan to buy a copy of "Zhao’s Screening Method" and they would get the core code of the Rubik’s Cube calculator as well as an explanation of the key steps.

Most people naturally gave this a thumbs up.

Zhao Yi received a large box of books. These were the hardcover versions sent to him by Youth Publishing House, retailing at ninety-eight yuan.

This was a copy for the author from the publishing house.

After an author publishes a book, the hardcover copies they receive can be gifted to others. Zhao Yi looked at the large box of books and only took out two to place on his bookshelf, finding no use for the rest.

"Who should I give them to?"

It was a professional book, which most people wouldn’t understand.

Zhao Yi thought carefully, decided to list the possible recipients on a piece of paper—

Professor Liu, Professor He, Luo Zhijin, Zhang Zhen...

And so on.

All the professionals he knew and were familiar with could be sent a copy, but the number was still relatively small. The leftover books had no use in his house because the publishing house said that subsequent versions would be even better.

After pondering, Zhao Yi went on an enterprise app, posted a message in the ’computer technology exchange group’ chat: ""Zhao’s Screening Method," hardcover edition. Does anyone want one? Write down your address, and I’ll send it to you. Limit one per person."

The chat erupted with excitement-- frёeωebɳovel.com

Meng Ruohao, an everyday security expert: "I want one!"

Ma Xiaojun, the missionary of science: "Me too!"

Gao Jixian, a dreamer of creating humans: "Ditto!"

Liu Chengwu, specialist in mechanical signals: "Give me one, thanks to Big Zhao, the mathematician!"

Sister Awesome, Qian Hong: "You’re all grown men, yet you keep ’demanding, demanding, demanding’. Don’t you feel embarrassed? Zhao Yi, hurry up and give me one. Here’s my address!"
