Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. When the student party was still catching up on homework at the end of the winter vacation, Lin Han sent the revised English version of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" to the editorial department of "Nature" magazine, and also sent the revised Chinese version. Send to Tan Lin.
In the past few days, he devoted almost all his energy to translation and revision. Sometimes in order to translate a sentence, he would find many enthusiastic foreign science fiction readers on the Internet to ask, just to make the English version more beautiful. More authentic!
Lin Han also knew that he was wrong. He took Chen Jiaxuan into his arms, put his face close to her ear, and said softly: "Okay, this time I finish writing the manuscript, at least I can rest for a long time, and I have plenty of time to spend with you. .”
Lin Han was unwilling to just admit defeat. He quickly cleared up his thoughts and came out of the archery hall. After gathering his emotions, he called Sullivan. He wanted to try again!
Do you just give up like this? Are you busy and happy in vain
It's a bit exaggerated to call him a sharp archer, but at least his accuracy is not too bad, and two arrows even hit the bull's-eye. It's probably a blind cat meeting a dead mouse!
The next afternoon, Lin Han continued to practice at the archery hall. His custom-made bow and arrows had been finished. He hadn't pulled a bow for at least two or three weeks, and now he was getting a feel for it.
"Hot Topics of the Week", "Science Express", "Evaluation", "Road to Success", "Headlines" and the most important "Paper", these obstacles stand in front of Lin Han, which is a very difficult thing.

This is not true at all. If you publish your paper in Nature, you will not get royalties. Instead, you will have to pay a page fee to the magazine. Generally speaking, this page fee is US$1,350.
However, the "Future" column does not occupy a large space in the entire magazine, and the space of each issue is limited. Therefore, most science fiction novels require the number of English words to be between 850-950, and the subject matter is limited to the near future.
How busy are you? He was so busy that he didn't even have time or energy to feed the tropical fish in the fish tank, so he had to wait for Chen Jiaxuan to come back to feed the fish.

"This is something worth celebrating, so when can we see it in the magazine?" Lin Han couldn't wait, he wanted to show off.
As a weekly magazine, the space of "Nature" is really limited. Compared with the "Future" section that publishes science fiction novels, the other sections are more important. Now if Lin Han's novel wants to be on this stage, it must Let the rest be reduced.
After finishing all this, Lin Han lay leisurely in the bathtub for a while to relax his body and mind, and slept until the sky was dark.

The weather was still cold in mid-February, but after eating spicy Sichuan food, Chen Jiaxuan felt like her whole body was on fire. She and Lin Han were strolling around in the park arm in arm, enjoying the quiet time.
When Chen Jiaxuan came back, she saw such a scene. Lin Han arranged her whole body into a Tai-shaped shape. She walked lightly to the window and closed the curtains, and then she leaned against the bed.
"Are you awake? You really should take a good rest this time. I feel like I haven't seen you for a long time." Chen Jiaxuan paused her phone and complained.

Although the two of them live together, Lin Han's work and rest schedule has been disrupted. He has to be busy until two or three in the morning before going to bed every night. When Chen Jiaxuan gets up in the morning, Lin Han is still asleep, and there is very little time for communication.
Lin Han was unwilling to just admit defeat. He quickly cleared up his thoughts and came out of the archery hall. After gathering his emotions, he called Sullivan. He wanted to try again!
Looking at Lin Han's sleeping face, Chen Jiaxuan felt a little distressed. He obviously said well during the New Year's Eve that he would reduce the amount of work this year and not push himself so much, but he turned out to be a complete workaholic.
Lin Han also knew that he was wrong. He took Chen Jiaxuan into his arms, put his face close to her ear, and said softly: "Okay, this time I finish writing the manuscript, at least I can rest for a long time, and I have plenty of time to spend with you. .”

I don't know how much time passed. Lin Han slowly opened his eyes. He yawned and turned around to find Chen Jiaxuan playing the mobile game Lianliankan attentively.

…
Many science fiction novels published in Western magazines do not have many words. Due to the short length, many plots are not developed in time, and the style is closer to a sketch than a complete novel.
Do you just give up like this? Are you busy and happy in vain
After not being intimate for several days, Lin Han's hands inadvertently reached under Chen Jiaxuan's clothes, and then slowly climbed up the tall peak and found two grapes...
Lin Han also feels that his head is a little hot. Now he is just determined to publish his novel. He has not yet said how to arrange each issue. There is no mention of contracts or remuneration. There are still many things that need to be prepared.

Sullivan paused and said, "In fact, when I decided to hand over all the pages to you, the editors of other columns expressed their opposition, but after I only handed over the first part of the novel to them, that group of people He rebelled! Not only did he support me in increasing the space for you, but he even decided to let you continue the serialization until the book is finished."
"Lin, our magazine accepts your manuscript in principle. Although we do not have a formal page limit, the ideal length of a science fiction novel is 1.5 pages, which is equivalent to less than 1,000 words. However, we have exceptions. If the editor thinks that this article The article needs more space to fully express itself, and we will provide additional space. Your novel is very excellent and is very suitable for publication in the UK. The maximum condition I can personally give is 4 pages, and the content published in each issue is 3000 About a word." Sullivan said seriously and gave his bottom line.
After not being intimate for several days, Lin Han's hands inadvertently reached under Chen Jiaxuan's clothes, and then slowly climbed up the tall peak and found two grapes...
"You mean we can arrange a time to publish now?"
If you don't show off when you appear in "Nature" magazine, then you are not returning to your hometown with wealth and honor, but just traveling at night in splendid clothes!

Lin Han's head was suddenly confused!
After Lin Han chatted with him for a while, he went straight to the topic, "Mr. Sullivan, I saw in the email that the number of words required for science fiction novels in the future column is about 850 words. This is very difficult for me. I don't want to Maybe compress and delete so many things.”
Transformed into a snake, Chen Jiaxuan did not resist, but cooperated eagerly. The room was as warm as spring and filled with the breath of hormones!
Sullivan paused and said, "In fact, when I decided to hand over all the pages to you, the editors of other columns expressed their opposition, but after I only handed over the first part of the novel to them, that group of people He rebelled!

The surprise came so quickly, like a tornado. Lin Han's voice rose in excitement. "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" returned to its real home and was indeed very charming. The editor was immediately conquered!

If you want to write such a science fiction novel with only 800 words, the requirements for the writer are extremely strict, and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" cannot be condensed to this point anyway! Sullivan said at the end of the email that Lin Han would please call him after seeing the email to discuss the matter in detail.

After fooling around for several times in a row, the noise in the room stopped. Lin Han finally made up for all the regrets of the past few days. He put his hand on Chen Jiaxuan's smooth back and looked at each other with satisfaction.
Although "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", known as the science fiction Bible, has been modified by Lin Han, it still exudes endless charm and makes the glib British feel familiar content.
"Sorry, I didn't notice the call at the archery hall just now. I hope I didn't disturb you."
How busy are you? He was so busy that he didn't even have time or energy to feed the tropical fish in the fish tank, so he had to wait for Chen Jiaxuan to come back to feed the fish.
However, the growling stomach sounded at an inappropriate time, and the two of them reluctantly climbed out of bed, took a shower, and drove out to eat.

There is an eight-hour time difference between the UK and China. It is now the time when the UK goes to work, so Sullivan quickly answered the phone and greeted him familiarly: "Hi, this is Sullivan. I'm glad to pick up the phone." Your call."
The revitalized city of Beijing is like a city that never sleeps. Most restaurants are open. It just so happens that it is no longer the peak dining period, so the food is served quickly.
The editor named Sullivan told Lin Han that he was the person in charge of the "Future" section, a column dedicated to publishing science fiction novels. This section had been operating in "Nature" for many years. He liked Lin Han's novels very much and felt that It's full of black humor and makes you laugh out loud.

After Lin Han played continuously for half an hour, he took a short break and then had time to turn on his phone. There were several missed calls on it, all from the UK, but without any identification.
…
Lin Han's head was suddenly confused!
Lin Han can get a price of 500 pounds for 1,000 words from "Nature" magazine, which is already considered very good. At least he doesn't have to pay for it!
The next afternoon, Lin Han continued to practice at the archery hall. His custom-made bow and arrows had been finished. He hadn't pulled a bow for at least two or three weeks, and now he was getting a feel for it.

"Archery sounds very good, it will be very good for you writers. East Asians are very good at archery." Sullivan was chatting casually. He looked at the manuscript of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" printed out on his desk and was very surprised.

He didn't dare to call back rashly. What if the other party was committing telecom fraud? He had to be cautious these days. But in the subsequent email, there was an unread email from Nature magazine, which was probably a response from the magazine.

"Hot Topics of the Week", "Science Express", "Evaluation", "Road to Success", "Headlines" and the most important "Paper", these obstacles stand in front of Lin Han, which is a very difficult thing.
Looking at Lin Han's sleeping face, Chen Jiaxuan felt a little distressed. He obviously said well during the New Year's Eve that he would reduce the amount of work this year and not push himself so much, but he turned out to be a complete workaholic.
After not being intimate for several days, Lin Han's hands inadvertently reached under Chen Jiaxuan's clothes, and then slowly climbed up the tall peak and found two grapes...
The weather was still cold in mid-February, but after eating spicy Sichuan food, Chen Jiaxuan felt like her whole body was on fire. She and Lin Han were strolling around in the park arm in arm, enjoying the quiet time.
Lin Han also knew that he was wrong. He took Chen Jiaxuan into his arms, put his face close to her ear, and said softly: "Okay, this time I finish writing the manuscript, at least I can rest for a long time, and I have plenty of time to spend with you. .”
Do you just give up like this? Are you busy and happy in vain
After finishing all this, Lin Han lay leisurely in the bathtub for a while to relax his body and mind, and slept until the sky was dark.
The surprise came so quickly, like a tornado. Lin Han's voice rose in excitement. "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" returned to its real home and was indeed very charming. The editor was immediately conquered!
When Lin Han heard this, he was relieved. He knew that science fiction, as well as news, opinions, reports, and discussions are actually informal parts of Nature magazine compared to papers. These parts occupy a total of 40 pages. Content.
If you don't show off when you appear in "Nature" magazine, then you are not returning to your hometown with wealth and honor, but just traveling at night in splendid clothes!
Lin Han also feels that his head is a little hot. Now he is just determined to publish his novel. He has not yet said how to arrange each issue. There is no mention of contracts or remuneration. There are still many things that need to be prepared.
Lin Han was unwilling to just admit defeat. He quickly cleared up his thoughts and came out of the archery hall. After gathering his emotions, he called Sullivan. He wanted to try again!
However, the growling stomach sounded at an inappropriate time, and the two of them reluctantly climbed out of bed, took a shower, and drove out to eat.
In the past few days, he devoted almost all his energy to translation and revision. Sometimes in order to translate a sentence, he would find many enthusiastic foreign science fiction readers on the Internet to ask, just to make the English version more beautiful. More authentic!
Many science fiction novels published in Western magazines do not have many words. Due to the short length, many plots are not developed in time, and the style is closer to a sketch than a complete novel.
The editor named Sullivan told Lin Han that he was the person in charge of the "Future" section, a column dedicated to publishing science fiction novels. This section had been operating in "Nature" for many years. He liked Lin Han's novels very much and felt that It's full of black humor and makes you laugh out loud.
There is an eight-hour time difference between the UK and China. It is now the time when the UK goes to work, so Sullivan quickly answered the phone and greeted him familiarly: "Hi, this is Sullivan. I'm glad to pick up the phone." Your call."
…
However, the "Future" column does not occupy a large space in the entire magazine, and the space of each issue is limited. Therefore, most science fiction novels require the number of English words to be between 850-950, and the subject matter is limited to the near future.
If you don't show off when you appear in "Nature" magazine, then you are not returning to your hometown with wealth and honor, but just traveling at night in splendid clothes!
"Sorry, I didn't notice the call at the archery hall just now. I hope I didn't disturb you."
How busy are you? He was so busy that he didn't even have time or energy to feed the tropical fish in the fish tank, so he had to wait for Chen Jiaxuan to come back to feed the fish.
After finishing all this, Lin Han lay leisurely in the bathtub for a while to relax his body and mind, and slept until the sky was dark.

"Archery sounds very good, it will be very good for you writers. East Asians are very good at archery." Sullivan was chatting casually. He looked at the manuscript of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" printed out on his desk and was very surprised.
He didn't dare to call back rashly. What if the other party was committing telecom fraud? He had to be cautious these days. But in the subsequent email, there was an unread email from Nature magazine, which was probably a response from the magazine.
After finishing all this, Lin Han lay leisurely in the bathtub for a while to relax his body and mind, and slept until the sky was dark.
Sullivan looked at the report in front of him and said: "We won't pay you much in terms of royalties. We will settle the settlement for you at a price of 0.5 pounds per word. In fact, you are very lucky because you published All papers published in Nature must pay publication fees."

The revitalized city of Beijing is like a city that never sleeps. Most restaurants are open. It just so happens that it is no longer the peak dining period, so the food is served quickly.
Looking at Lin Han's sleeping face, Chen Jiaxuan felt a little distressed. He obviously said well during the New Year's Eve that he would reduce the amount of work this year and not push himself so much, but he turned out to be a complete workaholic.
After Lin Han chatted with him for a while, he went straight to the topic, "Mr. Sullivan, I saw in the email that the number of words required for science fiction novels in the future column is about 850 words. This is very difficult for me. I don't want to Maybe compress and delete so many things.”
Sullivan paused and said, "In fact, when I decided to hand over all the pages to you, the editors of other columns expressed their opposition, but after I only handed over the first part of the novel to them, that group of people He rebelled! Not only did he support me in increasing the space for you, but he even decided to let you continue the serialization until the book is finished."
"Are you awake? You really should take a good rest this time. I feel like I haven't seen you for a long time." Chen Jiaxuan paused her phone and complained.

This is not true at all. If you publish your paper in Nature, you will not get royalties. Instead, you will have to pay a page fee to the magazine. Generally speaking, this page fee is US$1,350.
There is almost no redundant content in the entire text of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". If the text had to be deleted before it could be serialized, he would choose to preserve the integrity of the work.
Sullivan paused and said, "In fact, when I decided to hand over all the pages to you, the editors of other columns expressed their opposition, but after I only handed over the first part of the novel to them, that group of people He rebelled!

"Lin, our magazine accepts your manuscript in principle. Although we do not have a formal page limit, the ideal length of a science fiction novel is 1.5 pages, which is equivalent to less than 1,000 words. However, we have exceptions. If the editor thinks that this article The article needs more space to fully express itself, and we will provide additional space. Your novel is very excellent and is very suitable for publication in the UK. The maximum condition I can personally give is 4 pages, and the content published in each issue is 3000 About a word." Sullivan said seriously and gave his bottom line.
He didn't dare to call back rashly. What if the other party was committing telecom fraud? He had to be cautious these days. But in the subsequent email, there was an unread email from Nature magazine, which was probably a response from the magazine.
Now I have directly taken out one-tenth of the page, which is a solid sincerity!

The next afternoon, Lin Han continued to practice at the archery hall. His custom-made bow and arrows had been finished. He hadn't pulled a bow for at least two or three weeks, and now he was getting a feel for it.
The weather was still cold in mid-February, but after eating spicy Sichuan food, Chen Jiaxuan felt like her whole body was on fire. She and Lin Han were strolling around in the park arm in arm, enjoying the quiet time.
When Chen Jiaxuan came back, she saw such a scene. Lin Han arranged her whole body into a Tai-shaped shape. She walked lightly to the window and closed the curtains, and then she leaned against the bed.
Now I have directly taken out one-tenth of the page, which is a solid sincerity!
After not being intimate for several days, Lin Han's hands inadvertently reached under Chen Jiaxuan's clothes, and then slowly climbed up the tall peak and found two grapes...

"You mean we can arrange a time to publish now?"

Lin Han can get a price of 500 pounds for 1,000 words from "Nature" magazine, which is already considered very good. At least he doesn't have to pay for it!
The surprise came so quickly, like a tornado. Lin Han's voice rose in excitement. "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" returned to its real home and was indeed very charming. The editor was immediately conquered!

"Friends, we still have a lot to talk about, and you won't see it on the market right away." Sullivan was in a good mood. He had always hoped to find original and good novels, and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" was the best one he had ever read. Science fiction, this fascinating and interesting story not only stays on the surface, but more importantly uses the future world to criticize the real society and get a glimpse of what may happen in the future.
"Are you awake? You really should take a good rest this time. I feel like I haven't seen you for a long time." Chen Jiaxuan paused her phone and complained.
The surprise came so quickly, like a tornado. Lin Han's voice rose in excitement. "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" returned to its real home and was indeed very charming. The editor was immediately conquered!
I don't know how much time passed. Lin Han slowly opened his eyes. He yawned and turned around to find Chen Jiaxuan playing the mobile game Lianliankan attentively.
Sullivan paused and said, "In fact, when I decided to hand over all the pages to you, the editors of other columns expressed their opposition, but after I only handed over the first part of the novel to them, that group of people He rebelled!

Although "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", known as the science fiction Bible, has been modified by Lin Han, it still exudes endless charm and makes the glib British feel familiar content.
Lin Han also feels that his head is a little hot. Now he is just determined to publish his novel. He has not yet said how to arrange each issue. There is no mention of contracts or remuneration. There are still many things that need to be prepared.

Sullivan said seriously and gave his bottom line.
After Lin Han played continuously for half an hour, he took a short break and then had time to turn on his phone. There were several missed calls on it, all from the UK, but without any identification.

As a weekly magazine, the space of "Nature" is really limited. Compared with the "Future" section that publishes science fiction novels, the other sections are more important. Now if Lin Han's novel wants to be on this stage, it must Let the rest be reduced.

"By the way, I will serialize it simultaneously in a Chinese magazine in Chinese. I hope that the progress between the two will be basically balanced." Lin Han also put forward his own requirements for the flexibility of "Fantasy Age" It's bigger. Being able to publish the same book as "Nature" magazine is very important for its reputation and improvement of its profile!

Transformed into a snake, Chen Jiaxuan did not resist, but cooperated eagerly. The room was as warm as spring and filled with the breath of hormones!

Although the two of them live together, Lin Han's work and rest schedule has been disrupted. He has to be busy until two or three in the morning before going to bed every night. When Chen Jiaxuan gets up in the morning, Lin Han is still asleep, and there is very little time for communication.
