Chen Jiaxuan put on her slippers. After checking the time on her phone, she said, "You should rest for a while. It's still early. We came here at seven o'clock. There are many branches in Beijing."

An award brings not only honor and fame, but also tangible things like sales and bonuses, so it is normal for sales to increase.

In the following content, it was Lin Han's turn to fill in some of the information he had queried. For example, the Jingwei was driven by an ion engine, which ejected argon atoms backward at ultra-high speed to obtain a slight acceleration of the entire spacecraft. Consuming fewer nuclear reactor chambers provides continuous acceleration along the way.

Lin Han had never heard of this place, and he didn't pay much attention to it. He just said jokingly: "The name sounds a bit like Yuelu Academy, the oldest university in China. Anyway, it's up to you, don't save money for me. "

"I have to treat you no matter what. This time the bonus is paid out. At least I can buy a toilet in Beijing." Lin Han said with a smile, "Don't be polite to me. I'm just being generous this time. You can tell me what you want to eat."

"Log: SOL6

When night fell, he kept these manuscripts very preciously and uploaded them to the cloud disk to prevent them from being lost.

Fortunately, the antenna only tied into his waist muscles and did not penetrate. The holes in the spacesuit began to let oxygen slowly escape.

Maybe there will be a state funeral in a while, and my Wikipedia page will also read: Li Yunfan is the only human to die on Mars so far. "

He sent Chen Jiaxuan out and watched her enter his house before turning around and closing the door.

The first few hundred words of "The Martian" outline a general background, and at the same time depict an optimistic protagonist image, and at the same time explain to readers why he is the only one staying on Mars waiting to die.

When they left the habitat cabin and attempted to walk to the Mars launch vehicle, the communicator was blown down by the strong wind and fell into the antenna array, and a long and thin antenna went directly through Li Yunfan's spacesuit and hit him Take it to a distance and collapse.

Most of "The Martian" is a one-man show by the male protagonist, and there are basically few other characters. The novel uses a first-person writing technique, which can display more real and accurate inner activities in front of readers.

All Yinghuo missions were sent to Mars via the Jingwei spacecraft. Because the machine was huge and expensive, the China Space Administration only built one. Each start-up must consume a large amount of chemical fuel to send the spacecraft to Mars.

Now that you have enough time, let's just start writing the novel. The outline and details have been laid out. All that needs to be done now is to make a timetable and character relationship diagram.

When he wrote this paragraph, Lin Han stopped. It was just the first three thousand words that made him think a lot. The light and humorous writing style coupled with the protagonist's occasional complaints made the boring scientific parts become fun. stand up.

There is no room for error in these scientific things. Lin Han writes very carefully, stopping to check with the information from time to time, trying to make the sentences as easy to understand as possible without causing too much reading difficulties for readers.

Seriously, record it... SOL6, I'm not dead. The other teammates must have thought I was dead, and of course I can’t blame them.

The power of the Galaxy Award is naturally extraordinary for science fiction readers. It represents authoritative recognition. Originally, some people were still insisting that "Country Teacher" was not a pure science fiction novel, but now they were slapped in the face.

Later, we relied on word of mouth to slowly increase sales, increasing by thousands or thousands, and it took time to accumulate sales.

The novel begins with the protagonist Li Yunfan reminiscing in front of the video recorder. He is a crew member of the third batch of missions of the Yinghuo Project.

Where there is a landing vehicle, there is also a launch vehicle. The Mars Launch Vehicle (MV) uses a series of exquisite designs to chemically react with the Martian atmosphere. It is not mentioned that one kilogram of hydrogen can produce 13 kilograms of fuel when going to Mars. But this takes a longer time.

"Okay, let's go to Yuelu Mountain House. I heard that it's very nice there and has a good environment. It's more suitable for you."

You will definitely have to put on makeup and change clothes when going out to eat. Lin Han expressed his understanding. It is only less than three o'clock in the afternoon, so there is enough time.

There is no end to the journey, and the blood gushing out from the wound quickly gathered at the damaged part of the spacesuit. The water quickly evaporated under the strong airflow and low pressure, leaving behind a sticky residue. As the blood flows more and more, these residues gradually increase, and finally the seal of the damaged area is slowly strengthened, reducing the oxygen leakage of the space suit to an acceptable level.

The upper design limit of surface missions is to cope with sandstorms with wind speeds of 150 miles per hour, but what Li Yunfan and others encountered was a giant sandstorm of 175 miles per hour.

At this time, Chen Jiaxuan looked very happy. She was holding her bag and smiling like a flower. Under the light of the corridor, Lin Han swayed, showing an astonished look.

Some sci-fi readers who were originally not interested in short story collections were in a shortage of books. After seeing the news that Lin Han won the Galaxy Award, they couldn't bear the praise and curiosity and went to check it out.

These six days, which were supposed to be the beginning of the most glorious two months of my life, turned out to be the prelude to a nightmare.

I have no idea who reads this stuff. I guess people will discover it one day, maybe 100 years from now.

The heating in the room quickly evaporated the water on the floor. Chen Jiaxuan said to Lin Han: "Since you have just come back, let's have a meal together tonight to celebrate your success."

The so-called Yinghuo is the name of Mars in ancient times, and the Yinghuo plan is for humans to reach Mars, send people to another planet for the first time, expand the human horizon forever, and so on.

The sales of physical books exceeded 30,000 copies in one day, which is definitely a huge rebound for "I, Robot". The previous hot sales situation basically slowed down in the first two weeks.

In addition, he also introduced the details of the Mars Landing Vehicle (MDV), which is closely related to the subsequent plot. It will take three years from the beginning to the end of the Mars mission.

I'm totally fucking done! This is my conclusion after much consideration, it’s over.

"Let's go, we can set off. By the way, I want to tell you something serious. In fact, I don't want to talk about these things when I'm off work like this."

At present, the total sales volume of the physical version of "I, Robot" has reached nearly 420,000 copies, while the total sales volume of the online electronic version has also reached 280,000 copies, getting closer and closer to the two-star author.

It’s a novel that’s even recognized by the Galaxy Award. If you say it’s not science fiction, isn’t that nonsense

"I estimate that by the time this recorder is unearthed, the rest of the teammates will have already died of old age. Of course, that is assuming they can return to Earth safely. Guys, if you can live to see this recorder, listen up. : It’s not your fault, you did what you should have done. If it were me, I would have made the same decision. I won’t blame you, I’m glad you survived.”

The first and second phases of the Yinghuo Project were successfully completed. The crew landed at different places on Mars and then returned to Earth to become respectable astronauts.
