"I've asked you, it's okay to wear a casual suit. You are probably the best writer of science fiction novels among directors, and you are also the best director among science fiction authors."
Chen Jiaxuan's voice rang from outside the door. She could hear the sound of games in the room, but no one came to open the door for her.
If you retain this setting, you will abandon the perfection of the novel and use it to enhance the drama and conflict of the story. After all, there will be a similar plot later, with the howling wind destroying the living cabin.
"Lin Han!"
What is it like to create a best-selling book with your own hands
The circle is sometimes so small. A novel with a good reputation is easily accepted by otaku geeks. They are even willing to help promote the work without expecting anything in return. They only care that the work they like is liked by more people. .
But in reality, although sandstorms often blow on Mars, the wind force is only equivalent to the breeze level on Earth. At most, it blocks the line of sight. It cannot blow buildings or mechanical equipment at all. It is okay to fly a kite.
He opened the door and found Chen Jiaxuan in a sweater looking at him angrily, so he asked innocently: "Sister Xuan, what do you want from me?"
"Perhaps I am the most handsome among science fiction authors."
This book has a lot of professional knowledge, such as why the protagonist's spacesuit was punctured in the first place and why he survived on Mars; and even how to use the aircraft's propulsion device and combustion hydrazine to develop a water supply system, even though Collecting all the water possible for his own survival and planting potatoes are all things Lin Han has to solve.
Lin Han took what Chen Jiaxuan handed over. He opened it and saw that it was an invitation to the "2017 Future Technology Conference". It seemed a bit high-end.
Lin Han left the library before closing. He needed to relax his mind. He absorbed too much knowledge at once and had to digest it before proceeding to the next one.
Lin Han looked at the small print at the bottom of the invitation letter in surprise and found that the organizers were the "Science Fiction World" magazine, the Chinese Science Fiction Writers Association, Startup Future, and the National Innovation Base.
"Of course it's for you. I received it two days ago, but I didn't open the letter. This future technology conference mainly invites thousands of representatives in the fields of technology and science fiction as well as science fiction enthusiasts to participate. I asked the organizer , many scientists and science fiction writers will attend. Of course, the most important thing is that this is combined with the Galaxy Awards Ceremony, which is a project of the Future Technology Conference."
In fact, the biggest bug in the novel appears in the big storm at the beginning of the article. This is the cause of all the stories in "The Martian" and it is also the most unscientific part.
Only when you are fully prepared can you write like a god.
First use your laptop to search for the general knowledge you want, then lock in the names of these books, and finally use the library system to find the books, and then go get them back.
These old bookworms may say it’s a pleasure. They have saved countless authors from despair, selected a series of works from the sea of books, and then personally touched the top of Amazon’s sales list.
He recorded useful information in computer documents according to classification tags. He typed while flipping through books. Occasionally, he would search for relevant information several times in succession for an idea. His work attitude was comparable to that of a professional researcher.
Jesse not only posted on SFFworld, he also communicated the news to international students in China. Although the number of international students is not large, there are many people who like science fiction novels and science fiction movies.
He pursed his lips and said jokingly: "Finally, the Galaxy Awards are willing to be awarded. I thought they were going to delay the vote!"
While thinking and enriching, Lin Han went out for lunch and continued to work in the library. Compared with others, he took shortcuts and must treat these works with a more professional attitude.
"It's not a big deal. After all, this is the only science fiction award in mainland China, and you are very likely to win. So start booking flights online now. Have you prepared your wardrobe? You can't wear a T-shirt on stage to receive the award. Right." As a veteran in the entertainment industry, Chen Jiaxuan glanced at Lin Han with disdain.
In fact, as a person who has worked for many years, it is still difficult for Lin Han to understand these projects. At this time, his head was so muddy that it was almost difficult to think.
If you want to write hard science fiction, you should start from these places. Soft science fiction can ignore these contents, but hard science fiction cannot do this.
If the holes in the writing are too big, they cannot be justified at all, which is a fatal flaw for a novel that is marketed as hard science fiction.
The award that has been anticipated for so long is finally about to be awarded. Lin Han has to attend at all costs. This may be the time for him to receive the award on the spot.
Since the selling price is not high, Lin Han has not been paying attention to the sales on Amazon. After getting a National Library card, he is slowly searching for what he wants.
The atmospheric density of Mars is only 1% of that of Earth, and the atmospheric pressure is much lower than that of Earth. There is no way to produce violent storms like those described in the novel. The storms in the novel can knock down aircraft.
As a last resort, she had to use her lion's roar skill, and the raised volume was accurately transmitted into the room. Lin Han, who was having fun, turned his head to look at the closed door in confusion, and then paused the game.
Such a huge problem was placed in front of Lin Han, making it impossible for him to modify it even if he wanted to. For the sake of rigor, he should abandon this setting and find a new reason for the protagonist to stay on Mars, but this is undoubtedly difficult.
The English name of the book "The Martian" is "The-Martian", which literally means Martians, or people who stay on Mars. The name "The Martian" is more familiar to Chinese people.
There was no heater on in the corridor. Chen Jiaxuan shouted outside the door for almost two minutes. Her feet in slippers were a little cold now, so she quickly walked to the heating vent in Lin Han's living room and said, "I heard you inside the house." "I just have something serious to say to you. Here is your invitation letter. I will go to Shanghai the day after tomorrow."
"I'll go, is this thing for me?"
Perhaps classics also have flaws, and some flaws will become classics long ago. For example, Venus with a broken arm does not need people to complete her arms. Lin Han plans to write two beginnings, and then see which one is more effective. good.
When he got home, he was not in the mood to cook at all. He turned on the video game console and started playing shooting games on the TV. The sound of bullets was so loud that Lin Han didn't even hear the knock on the door.
"Lin Han? Are you at home!"
Lin Han touched his chin and said to Chen Jiaxuan: "I'd better ask the organizer first what kind of clothes to wear. If everyone else is wearing casual clothes and I am the only one wearing formal clothes, wouldn't it be embarrassing?"
Readers who were originally worried about not being able to understand Chinese science fiction novels have switched to the English version. The connections between these people are inextricably linked, and "I, Robot" has spread quietly.
