Empowering technology to work now is the unshakable first mission.
Suddenly, Lin Han discovered that the most influential novel in his memory had not been written. That novel was translated into Chinese as "God is dying" and in English as "God is dying", the same three words.
The cutting-edge technology in "The Martian" is almost all based on existing technical design ideas, and does not deliberately create a sense of the future. Whether it is a spaceship cabin, a spacesuit, a Mars rover or a scientific research base, they are all high-end things that can be achieved by standing on tiptoe. science and technology.
There are no "walls" in this world. Basically, domestic netizens can browse other websites at will, whether it is Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Tumblr or the like.
There is not even a single villain in the novel, and no one prevents the protagonist from surviving and returning to Earth, except for the natural environment of Mars.
Without anyone interrupting him, Lin Han wrote a total of 60,000 words in the next three days, with amazing efficiency.
This competition is just an interesting activity. The competition is not about how exciting the novel is, but about keeping it as short as possible while being as exciting as possible. It can be said that you can win 100,000 pounds by writing a few words. This is one word. Millions of gold!
God is God, and God is the starting point of all things in the universe. According to the Bible and Christian doctrines, God is immortal. But in the novel, it is said that God is dying, which is in the present continuous tense. It does not mean that God has died, but that he is gradually dying.
In addition to the rigorous science in the novel, what attracted Lin Han the most was the optimism in desperate situations. The protagonist was trapped on Mars. Instead of despairing, he kept making jokes and sometimes making fun of his colleagues' poor music taste. , sometimes laughing at the tastelessness of potatoes.
…
Another novel "Awakening with My Own Body Lying Next to Me" is also very charming. Lin Han thinks it is both terrifying and extremely absurd, creepy and full of suspense.
Since there is no restriction on the type of novels, all kinds of content can be found, and there are many similar jokes, which makes Lin Han want to pass the link to his friends so that everyone can have fun together.
Even the plan for the spacecraft Jingwei to gain acceleration by flying close to the earth, which made a great contribution to the rescue plan in the end, is a technology that is within reach in reality.
In this happy day for the whole family, Lin Han could only turn into a codeword madman and work hard to write the Chinese version of "The Martian". It is not that easy to write a novel of hundreds of thousands of words, and the writing style is still different from before. Completely different feeling.
However, the circulation of this kind of newspaper is the largest in the UK. The circulation of each issue of "Mirror" is basically more than one million copies. If there is explosive news, it can reach three million copies.
"No way, this novel didn't even appear?"
The novel "The Last Man on Earth" is very short, only 25 words, but "The Dying God" only has 3 words. It can be said that there is no shortest, only shorter!
The city of Beijing seems to be mostly empty. There is no traffic jam on the Second Ring Road. The shopping malls are relatively empty. Some areas even feel like they have become ghost towns. There are no lights on in large residential areas and office areas.
The original author didn't know what he wanted to express, but later critics kept analyzing it, and ordinary people can also imagine it casually. It is this kind of blank description that makes it full of charm.
Lin Han asked it himself, and then used Google search to confirm his thoughts. This three-word novel really does not exist in the world.
The Mirror is one of the most influential newspapers in the UK. It is a national daily popular newspaper. The news it publishes is generally considered unreliable and authoritative. It is almost on the same level as The Sun. .
If you want to talk about the shortest novel, it must be this one. Although it is not a science fiction type, it does not prevent Lin Han from knowing its name.
"The competition time is coming soon, and I don't know if there will be so many people coming to vote."
Because they were entered into the competition at the last moment, Lin Han's two micro-novels did not have much popularity. Unlike other novels that took half a month to slowly ferment, it was left to fate whether they would win or not.
Different from the seriousness of science fiction, "The Martian" is more like a joyful one-person article. The lonely protagonist tells the story of survival in a desperate situation in a self-narrated way. There is no emotional entanglement on the space journey, and no ethical conflicts or bureaucracy. The inherent contradiction of politics is simply to use scientific methods to present the power of science.
The protagonist's optimism is because he knows that pessimism has no effect. Optimism is almost always a by-product of focused thinking. The reason why hard science fiction novels fascinate people is because they regard realism as the highest rule and will not suddenly appear aliens tens of billions of light years away.
As he spoke, he typed quickly, translating the shortest science fiction novel he had ever written into English, and then posted it, just for fun. It doesn’t matter whether it wins or not, as it is a work that will lighten the mood and allow foreigners to see the creativity of the Chinese people.
Another film critic directly posted his review and started complaining about the newly released movie "Cliff's 13 Victims", "I am the 14th!"
Just a few words made Lin Han laugh out loud. This film critic is really humorous. He satirized the poor quality of the film so much that everyone who saw it couldn't help but laugh. Some people even became interested and wanted to watch it. Watch that bad movie.
Lin Han dragged down a section and carefully checked the rest of the messages. Many people were very imaginative and the novels they wrote were very novel.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Han once again posted "God is Dying" before the deadline. This is really a deadline. If he is one minute late, he will not be able to participate.
This is simply impossible to achieve in most novels. The description of the villain is usually a driving force to promote the plot and the only way to set off the protagonist. A novel without a villain is simply unimaginable.
The next day, when Lin Han found that the number of uncles and aunts exercising outside the community had decreased, he was shocked to realize that the Spring Festival was really coming.
Reading along the way, Lin Han really found a lot of interesting micro-novels, "Oh God, the Queen is pregnant, who did it?" This novel does not have many words, but it contains religion, royalty, mystery and sex. It is very eye-catching and has received more than 10,000 likes.
"The rewards are quite generous. You can publish an article in the Mirror and there is a bonus of 100,000 pounds."
After writing this, he found that more than 180,000 people had participated in the voting, but the number of votes for his science fiction novel was pitifully zero. It was estimated that there was no hope of breaking through.
Lin Han easily found the official website of the Mirror. He checked the hot voting going on here and found that the first place was "Dwarf Jump". These simple English words were actually considered a novel, which also made Lin Han John was quite impressed.
