"Go your own way and let others tell you. It's so interesting." Han Ya muttered silently, as if she had never heard this already rotten sentence.

After finding the location of the science fiction books through the index, Lin Han gave up his seat, and there were still people waiting behind him. His purpose is to carry forward the science fiction novels on earth in this different time and space. Of course, he must first know himself and the enemy.

Wang Yifan couldn't agree more. He went through the waves and finally found gold in a pile of garbage!

Walking on the granite steps, Lin Han touched the white marble railing with his hand. He felt that he was in the right place. Such a big library must have tens of thousands of books!

Han Ya, who was standing at the elevator entrance, was a little surprised. The young director seemed less decadent, and what he said was quite philosophical.

After saying this, Lin Han walked to the emergency exit gracefully. He was going to take the stairs to exercise. Anyway, this was the fifth floor, which was not too high, so he walked down quickly.

As a man in two lifetimes, Lin Han didn't feel too urgent. He firmly believed that there must be a way to reach the mountain, and the top priority was to integrate into this society.

Although he likes to read science fiction novels, these low-quality science fiction novels are simply torture, no, it should be murder!

If one day a book written by me can be included in this book, it will be a supreme honor.

There is no rush to submit a manuscript. God knows how many people in China submit manuscripts to "Science Fiction World". Even if one in a hundred thousand or one million people submits a manuscript, it is still an extremely huge workload.

"Nemesis", "Cowboy Bebop", and "The Cat Who Leapt Through Time", almost none of them could arouse his interest.

After eating a bowl of steamed buns and a cup of soy milk, Lin Han felt full, but he felt a slight pain when paying the bill. Breakfast cost him more than ten yuan, which undoubtedly made matters worse.

After taking a sip of water, Wang Yifan opened the official email and said to himself: "There have been too many submissions recently. The Galaxy Award is really attractive, but we can't have something of a high level." Manuscript?"

After downloading it, he slowly read it with curiosity, and then he got out of control and finished reading the 20,000 words in a few minutes.

This kind of spiritual food cannot be replaced. After choosing an American book "Battle on Planet R" and a Chinese science fiction novelist "The Third World War", Lin Han found an empty seat to sit down and read through it in detail. stand up.

Take a look at what's popular in the books here, what themes have been written about before, and if you try to copy those classics, will you be in trouble

After reading this short 20,000-word novel, he immediately marked the article as red and sent it to his master, senior editor Chen Chuhe, "Master, I sent you a document. I think it is quite good. It can give you at least 8.5 points." , take a look quickly."

At this time, an article called "Rural Teacher" attracted his attention. This was a science fiction essay competition, not a realism essay competition.

Contributors, both good and bad, submitted their novels to "Science Fiction World" with high expectations. In line with the attitude of being responsible for others, Wang Yifan could only grit his teeth and read on slowly.

The editor needs to screen and modify the collected articles, and then the manuscript must be sent to the art department for layout design. After the artists hand over the produced PDF to the editor for review, it can be sent to the printing factory for printing and binding.

Just being idle and bored, Chen Chuhe casually clicked on the acceptance document. After reading ten lines at a glance, Chen Chuhe, who was well-informed, was extremely surprised. A manuscript of this quality was definitely not something that ordinary people could write. He asked: "This is the Galaxy Award. Submitted to the competition, right? Judging from the writing skills and layout, he doesn’t look like a newcomer. A short science fiction novel can make people shed tears, which is definitely not an achievement that ordinary authors can achieve. Where is the science fiction with a score of 8.5, it is not worth a score of 9.5 Pass."

Using his mobile phone to navigate to the library, Lin Han was immediately attracted by this huge building. It occupies a very large area. The main building of the library is a twin-tower-shaped high-rise building with a double eaves design. The large roof of peacock blue glazed tiles is matched with the light gray tile exterior wall. It has both ancient architecture and modern technology, and it is perfectly integrated. .

The ingenious combination of the two lines, the appeal that runs through time and space, and the outstanding humanistic care made Wang Yifan feel like rain, and he felt inexplicably moved and helpless after reading it.

After passing the gate inspection, everyone here couldn't help but lower their footsteps, and even the voices could not be heard much, only the rustling of books.

"Many of today's science fiction articles are romance articles disguised as science fiction, without much humanistic connotation. They are quickly forgotten after reading them. But this article is deeply memorable and makes us understand that we should never give up hope. It is the connotation that runs through the article." Chen Chuhe concluded, "I think this article can be used as a manuscript for next month. If the judges of the Galaxy Awards like it, it can even compete for related awards."

After looking at his phone, he said to himself: "I don't know if the magazine has seen my submission. If the speed is too slow, I will really starve to death."

Wang Yifan is a recent intern at the magazine. He has loved reading science fiction stories since he was a child. He also likes Verne's science fiction novels. When he grew up, he became addicted to Hollywood science fiction movies and Western science fiction novels.

In the memory of the original owner, there was no place for the Beijing Library. This place was simply the place where students were most confused, and they didn't even know which direction the door was open.

Lin Han, who had just walked out of the stairs, was breathing heavily. The slight movement caused a thin layer of sweat to form on his forehead. His body seemed a little weak. After all, he had been decadent for a long time. He had to take good care of his body now. , young people can’t do this.

After moving the mouse back to the top, Wang Yifan began to read slowly word for word, experiencing the thinking of the author named Lin Han, and comprehending the unusual baptism of science fiction novels.

Now that he is able to enter the editorial department of "Science Fiction World" as an intern, he has gone through a lot of competition. At present, his job is very simple, that is, assisting senior editors, managing the submission mailbox, and doing simple screening.

Only newcomers with no connections would send manuscripts to the mailbox, but most of the time the quality was worrisome.

At the same time, the editorial department of Chengdu "Science Fiction World" magazine is busy working together. They are currently holding a topic selection meeting for the next issue of the magazine. The entire editorial department needs to participate in it to determine the content of the next issue.

The dazzling array of books made Lin Han's eyes shine. He was originally a book-loving person, but now there are so many unread science fiction masterpieces. It is exciting just thinking about them, and they can keep him reading for many nights.

Reading quickly is like swallowing a gulp. Apart from a general impression, there is very little else. But Wang Yifan looked very excited, he finally found a treasure!

Find the catalog query area based on the map. You can query the locations of tens of millions of books in the library on the computer here, but if you want to borrow books, you have to apply for a library card.

Generally speaking, magazines will proactively request manuscripts from well-known science fiction authors, which means the editor uses his or her own network to request manuscripts and does not go through the official submission mailbox.

A poor mountain village saved the earth. The ideological inheritance of rural teachers from generation to generation seems to have no unnecessary nonsense, but it makes people want to stop.

"I don't think it's like a newcomer. The writing is so good. This is completely a master-level layout and structure. Could it be that some science fiction master opened a trumpet to play?"
