Even if Lin Han desperately wants to share this good news with others, he must carefully verify it to avoid making a joke. There are countless people online waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
"You know, in my opinion, publishing science fiction in Nature magazine is simply fantasy. I didn't know about this before. Why didn't I find out earlier?"
At the same time, he also needs some advice from the editors of Nature magazine to see if his Chinese humor is authentic when translated into English and whether there is anything that needs to be modified. After all, London is the birthplace of British black humor.
It is true that Alex is an editor, but he is also a businessman. If Lin Han's "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is serialized in "Nature" magazine, its influence will follow "Nature" magazine to the elites around the world. , and at the same time, it saves a lot of publicity expenses, which is good for them to release physical books later, otherwise they would not push it so hard.
Just one email doesn't actually prove anything. If this is an email written by someone else to deceive Lin Han on purpose, then you can't be too careful!
When she called in a hurry, she found that Lin Han's cell phone had been turned off, so she had to wait until she got back from get off work before asking. She had full confidence in Lin Han. As long as Lin Han said it, he would never fail. This kind of trust Almost blind to the core!
Some are humorous, some are serious, some are absurd, some are magical, and they are very imaginative. There are no taboos or restraints at all. They are very suitable for the style of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"!

"I'm sorry for calling you at this time. I have something urgent and I want you to check it for me. Are you free now?" Lin Han's tone was anxious, eager for confirmation.
"I'm sorry for calling you at this time. I have something urgent and I want you to check it for me. Are you free now?" Lin Han's tone was anxious, eager for confirmation.
As a result, it was discovered that the inclusion of science fiction novels in Nature magazine is not a recent phenomenon. Book reviews of Verne's science fiction novels were published many years ago, and subsequently played an extremely important role in the history of the establishment of Nature magazine. s reason!
Alex thought it was something. He laughed and said, "This sounds like a very common thing, because Nature has been publishing science fiction novels since its birth. Your science fiction novels don't matter. Whether it’s popularity or quality, it’s normal for them to invite you to appear in Nature.”
This is not a Lin Han conspiracy theory. Indeed, similar things have happened before. This mailbox is directly opened to the outside world. Some people who know a little bit about technology can disguise their sending names. Maybe Lin Han will use this later. If you reply back, you will enjoy a series of liar treatment.
Science is experimental and reflects the real world; while novels are fictional and imaginary, and may not be directly related to reality, let alone science fiction, describing a future that does not exist.
Extraterrestrial civilization and time travel are traditional themes discussed in science fiction works. Lin Han's new book "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is of this type. However, he is somewhat worried that the black humor style he writes will conflict with the serious positioning of the magazine.
Just one email doesn't actually prove anything. If this is an email written by someone else to deceive Lin Han on purpose, then you can't be too careful!
"Thank you very much. You have helped me a lot. I will send the English version of the novel there as soon as possible. I can't wait to see it appear in Nature!"

If Lin Han's "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is serialized in "Nature" magazine, its influence will follow "Nature" magazine to the elites around the world. , and at the same time, it saves a lot of publicity expenses, which is good for them to release physical books later, otherwise they would not push it so hard.
It is not difficult for some boring people to prank and fake "Nature" magazine, so Lin Han simply made an overseas phone call to his friend Alex at Penguin Publishing Group. The two companies are both in the British publishing industry and have mutual respect for each other. They should be relatively familiar with each other.
The phone beeped several times before Alex answered slowly: "Hi, my friend, good morning!"
Lin Han took a deep breath and said directly: "I posted a message on Facebook that I wanted to cooperate with a science fiction magazine, and then I received an email from Nature magazine in a bunch of emails. You heard that right , the famous "Nature", why do they also publish science fiction works that have nothing to do with academics? Is this email true or false? I am very excited and nervous, worried that this is someone else's prank."

In 2005, the European Science Fiction Society also awarded the "Best Science Fiction Publication" award to "Nature" magazine. Of course, this is just one of its countless awards.

"Of course, I have time for you at any time. Tell me what it is, and I will do my best." Alex closed the door of his office, then walked to the window and began to overlook the gray London.

The short science fiction novels purely for fun have made readers hooked. Their enthusiastic response has surprised the editors. Many people have even become die-hard fans of the column. Some works have been included in the best science fiction collections of the year. Science Fiction Writers Even scientists started writing about it.
Things that seemed ordinary to Alex turned into an uproar in Lin Han's eyes. In different cultural backgrounds, the relationship between science and science fiction is inconsistent!
"I'm sorry for calling you at this time. I have something urgent and I want you to check it for me. Are you free now?" Lin Han's tone was anxious, eager for confirmation.

Chen Jiaxuan was almost dumbfounded when she received the text message. Although she was in the entertainment industry, the names of "Nature" and "Science" magazines were deafening. Those were platforms that many academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences had no chance to board. Lin Han actually said that he wanted to Sprint

But after careful inquiry, he felt at ease again, because the summary of netizens in foreign SFF forums showed that "Nature" magazine's selection of themes and content of science fiction works is diverse and full of surprises.
At the same time, he also needs some advice from the editors of Nature magazine to see if his Chinese humor is authentic when translated into English and whether there is anything that needs to be modified. After all, London is the birthplace of British black humor.

These novels cannot be said to be mediocre from the perspective of the themes discussed and the purpose of creation. Their reflections on the development of science and technology, imagination and speculation about the future world, are presented in an entertaining way through the hugely influential magazine "Nature". The academic media is passed on to the public. It turns out that writing novels is also engaging in science!

Your science fiction novels don't matter. Whether it’s popularity or quality, it’s normal for them to invite you to appear in Nature.”
There are roughly three types of people who provide science fiction manuscripts to Nature magazine: the first type is full-time science fiction writers, including veterans of the science fiction world, as well as young and middle-aged science fiction writers like Wen Qi; the second type is scientific people who write science fiction, such as Biologist Cohen, scientist Stewart, etc.; the third category is amateur science fiction writers. They come from all walks of life, but the quality of the novels they write is excellent, so they were selected.
"I'm sorry for calling you at this time. I have something urgent and I want you to check it for me. Are you free now?" Lin Han's tone was anxious, eager for confirmation.
Li Wenyuan was different. This earth-shattering news was so shocking that he was almost deafened. Was it published in Nature magazine just as he was told? When I left Lin Han's house, I was still discussing with him which science fiction magazine in the United States would cooperate with Lin Han. However, less than three hours after returning, Lin Han dropped a bombshell.

Even "Nature" magazine has made a simple classification of science fiction novels. The ten categories are: future world, dystopia, robots, artificial intelligence, brain science, cloning technology, immortality, vampires, plant protectionism, Environment·nuclear power pollution, extraterrestrial civilization, time and space travel·multiverse, future world·technological prospects.

But those science fiction novels that have been published have one thing in common, that is, they are very short, and they are all micro-novels shorter than short stories.

Lin Han took a deep breath and said directly: "I posted a message on Facebook that I wanted to cooperate with a science fiction magazine, and then I received an email from Nature magazine in a bunch of emails. You heard that right , the famous "Nature", why do they also publish science fiction works that have nothing to do with academics? Is this email true or false? I am very excited and nervous, worried that this is someone else's prank."
But after careful inquiry, he felt at ease again, because the summary of netizens in foreign SFF forums showed that "Nature" magazine's selection of themes and content of science fiction works is diverse and full of surprises.
"Of course, I have time for you at any time. Tell me what it is, and I will do my best." Alex closed the door of his office, then walked to the window and began to overlook the gray London.
Just one email doesn't actually prove anything. If this is an email written by someone else to deceive Lin Han on purpose, then you can't be too careful!
Some are humorous, some are serious, some are absurd, some are magical, and they are very imaginative. There are no taboos or restraints at all. They are very suitable for the style of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"!
Even "Nature" magazine has made a simple classification of science fiction novels. The ten categories are: future world, dystopia, robots, artificial intelligence, brain science, cloning technology, immortality, vampires, plant protectionism, Environment·nuclear power pollution, extraterrestrial civilization, time and space travel·multiverse, future world·technological prospects.
"Of course, I have time for you at any time. Tell me what it is, and I will do my best." Alex closed the door of his office, then walked to the window and began to overlook the gray London.
Extraterrestrial civilization and time travel are traditional themes discussed in science fiction works. Lin Han's new book "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is of this type. However, he is somewhat worried that the black humor style he writes will conflict with the serious positioning of the magazine.
At this time, an international long-distance call came from the UK, and Alex said: "Congratulations, Lin. The editor-in-chief of Nature magazine said that he did send you an email. He is your reader and has read a lot of you. The previous science fiction novel. So this time I want you to come to them to serialize the novel. The only thing is that they have to confirm that your novel is of excellent quality!"

The only thing is that they have to confirm that your novel is of excellent quality!"
Lin Han hasn't had this sense of urgency for a long time, not even when he wrote "The Three-Body Problem". That was "Nature", a legendary magazine that existed in his previous life and this life, and he actually had a chance. Printing his name on it, and printing it for many issues, will definitely make people envious, and even make people think he is crazy!
But those science fiction novels that have been published have one thing in common, that is, they are very short, and they are all micro-novels shorter than short stories.
These novels cannot be said to be mediocre from the perspective of the themes discussed and the purpose of creation. Their reflections on the development of science and technology, imagination and speculation about the future world, are presented in an entertaining way through the hugely influential magazine "Nature". The academic media is passed on to the public. It turns out that writing novels is also engaging in science!
Lin Han is now very motivated. He decided to retreat for himself again and think about the English version of the novel. When the time comes, it will be serialized in Chinese and English at the same time. He feels comfortable just thinking about it.
There are roughly three types of people who provide science fiction manuscripts to Nature magazine: the first type is full-time science fiction writers, including veterans of the science fiction world, as well as young and middle-aged science fiction writers like Wen Qi; the second type is scientific people who write science fiction, such as Biologist Cohen, scientist Stewart, etc.; the third category is amateur science fiction writers. They come from all walks of life, but the quality of the novels they write is excellent, so they were selected.
After hearing these words, Lin Han felt relieved. After hanging up the phone, he did not wait. He opened the official website of "Nature" magazine and then googled related matters.
As a domestic writer, Li Wenyuan has limited familiarity with the European and American science fiction circles. He really does not have the courage to equate Lin Han's new book in front of him with "Nature" magazine!
It is not difficult for some boring people to prank and fake "Nature" magazine, so Lin Han simply made an overseas phone call to his friend Alex at Penguin Publishing Group. The two companies are both in the British publishing industry and have mutual respect for each other. They should be relatively familiar with each other.
Although "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" only has 80,000 words, it is enough to be serialized in many issues. There has never been any science fiction novel that could make an exception in Nature magazine. Now whether Lin Han's book can be published depends on the other party's courage and love for his own novels.

When she called in a hurry, she found that Lin Han's cell phone had been turned off, so she had to wait until she got back from get off work before asking. She had full confidence in Lin Han. As long as Lin Han said it, he would never fail. This kind of trust Almost blind to the core!
Just one email doesn't actually prove anything. If this is an email written by someone else to deceive Lin Han on purpose, then you can't be too careful!
The phone beeped several times before Alex answered slowly: "Hi, my friend, good morning!"
At this time, an international long-distance call came from the UK, and Alex said: "Congratulations, Lin. The editor-in-chief of Nature magazine said that he did send you an email. He is your reader and has read a lot of you. The previous science fiction novel. So this time I want you to come to them to serialize the novel. The only thing is that they have to confirm that your novel is of excellent quality!"
"I'm sorry for calling you at this time. I have something urgent and I want you to check it for me. Are you free now?" Lin Han's tone was anxious, eager for confirmation.
After making up his mind, he sent a text message to Chen Jiaxuan, Li Wenyuan and Tan Lin on his mobile phone, asking them not to disturb him, and the translation and revision process began again!
Just one email doesn't actually prove anything. If this is an email written by someone else to deceive Lin Han on purpose, then you can't be too careful!
Things that seemed ordinary to Alex turned into an uproar in Lin Han's eyes. In different cultural backgrounds, the relationship between science and science fiction is inconsistent!
"Thank you very much. You have helped me a lot. I will send the English version of the novel there as soon as possible. I can't wait to see it appear in Nature!"

This is not a Lin Han conspiracy theory. Indeed, similar things have happened before. This mailbox is directly opened to the outside world. Some people who know a little bit about technology can disguise their sending names. Maybe Lin Han will use this later. If you reply back, you will enjoy a series of liar treatment.
After making up his mind, he sent a text message to Chen Jiaxuan, Li Wenyuan and Tan Lin on his mobile phone, asking them not to disturb him, and the translation and revision process began again!
Many scientists in China are opposed to science fiction and even take the lead in suppressing science fiction! In the 1980s, it was regarded as "spiritual pollution" and was cleared away. There are still some science fiction novels that are inexplicably not allowed to be published or published, and some collections have been deleted to pieces. China's "Nature Magazine" is the country's core journal, but it has not published any science fiction novels. .
After making up his mind, he sent a text message to Chen Jiaxuan, Li Wenyuan and Tan Lin on his mobile phone, asking them not to disturb him, and the translation and revision process began again!
"Brother, calm down, this is not a big deal. I will call their magazine right away to verify it, and then get back to you. Even if the email you received was a prank, I still have a way to get Nature to publish you. For the novel, we have a cooperative relationship with Nature Publishing Group."

At the same time, he also needs some advice from the editors of Nature magazine to see if his Chinese humor is authentic when translated into English and whether there is anything that needs to be modified. After all, London is the birthplace of British black humor.

Li Wenyuan was different. This earth-shattering news was so shocking that he was almost deafened. Was it published in Nature magazine just as he was told? When I left Lin Han's house, I was still discussing with him which science fiction magazine in the United States would cooperate with Lin Han. However, less than three hours after returning, Lin Han dropped a bombshell.
Science is experimental and reflects the real world; while novels are fictional and imaginary, and may not be directly related to reality, let alone science fiction, describing a future that does not exist.
"You know, in my opinion, publishing science fiction in Nature magazine is simply fantasy. I didn't know about this before. Why didn't I find out earlier?"

As a result, it was discovered that the inclusion of science fiction novels in Nature magazine is not a recent phenomenon. Book reviews of Verne's science fiction novels were published many years ago, and subsequently played an extremely important role in the history of the establishment of Nature magazine. s reason!
In 2005, the European Science Fiction Society also awarded the "Best Science Fiction Publication" award to "Nature" magazine. Of course, this is just one of its countless awards.

In the email in front of him was a read-only version of the novel manuscript sent by Lin Han. When Li Wenyuan opened the file and saw the big words of the book title at the top, he felt it was natural.

Alex thought it was something. He laughed and said, "This sounds like a very common thing, because Nature has been publishing science fiction novels since its birth. Your science fiction novels don't matter. Whether it’s popularity or quality, it’s normal for them to invite you to appear in Nature.”

Chen Jiaxuan was almost dumbfounded when she received the text message. Although she was in the entertainment industry, the names of "Nature" and "Science" magazines were deafening.

The short science fiction novels purely for fun have made readers hooked. Their enthusiastic response has surprised the editors. Many people have even become die-hard fans of the column.
