Chapter 144 Shocked
The Tsinghua auditorium was full, with vivid faces looking forward to it. Lin Han could secretly see it from a corner of the backstage, and the crowd made him a little nervous.
"Pursuing progress and listening academically, we welcome everyone to the Tsinghua Auditorium. Before this, we are sorry to inform you about something that Professor Zhai Zhilin was hospitalized due to acute appendicitis and was unable to arrive at the speech. We wish Professor Zhai a speedy recovery.
Today, the famous science fiction novelist and film director Mr. Lin Han, who is famous for his science fiction novels are popular all over the world and have just won three nominations for the Hugo Award. Let us welcome Lin Han!”
As soon as the host finished speaking, the group of intellectuals in the audience burst into trouble. Is this teasing them?
Professor Zhai couldn't come, but he couldn't just find a science fiction writer to save the situation. It was like ordering a portion of foie gras in a French restaurant, and the result was a spicy strip.
The overwhelming boo sounded, and the closed environment of the auditorium suddenly became extremely noisy. It seemed that intellectuals also like to express their mood in this way.
The students in the back row were all very surprised, "What are you doing? Let science fiction writers give us a speech and teach us how to write novels?"
"Do you still listen to this lecture? I want to leave. You can go to our Tsinghua University to give a speech, and it doesn't matter whether you have the strength."
"I've come here, just wait a little longer and see what he wants to say."
"Wow, it's really Lin Han! I especially like reading his novels. I rarely write soft science fiction, but I just wrote hard science fiction. Didn't I just watch "Martian Rescue" a few days ago? That's what he wrote. I'll go find him to sign later. Will you go?"
"Science fiction writers give speeches, there are physicists and astronomers in the audience, and this seems to be a bit inverted!"
Li Wenyuan could hear it very clearly in the audience. He looked at the people from the Science Popularization Writers Association not far away with anger. Everyone belonged to the same association. It would be fine if they didn't help each other, but they even hurt people with hidden arrows.
The guys were crossing their legs and waiting to see Lin Han make a fool of himself. He really didn't hide his appearance at all, and he looked like a very gentle and scum.
The smile on Zhou Qi's face could not be hidden, "That kid thought he could write two science fiction novels and could go to heaven. He was too impetuous, and now he was overestimating his ability to give a speech. Some people looked at it."
"Not even knowing yourself at all, I'm going to lose the face of a science fiction writer."
"That's not, it's a young man after all."
Li Wenyuan quietly drew a clear line with this group of people in his heart. It was clearly these people who poked Lin Han out, but now it has become Lin Han’s fault. It’s disgusting to act pretending!
The original booing reached its peak when Lin Han appeared, and a handsome young man actually took the position of speech!
Although he didn't shave in the morning and went towards maturity, he looked like he was only about thirty years old, and all the scientists were old.
It seemed as if Lin Han was on the wrong set standing on the podium. He didn't have any draft on the table and had to rely on himself for everything.
"Good morning everyone. Actually, I was just here to listen to the speech, but I didn't expect that now I stood on the stage. I mean, hey, I have an empty seat on No. 7, and the classmate who was quietly squatting at the end, you can go over and sit down."
Lin Han started to complain lightly as soon as he came up, and did not directly talk about anything. The atmosphere eased slightly, and a burst of laughter made the student blush.
Accompanied by Lin Han's words, everyone turned their heads and looked at the figure who was jogging from the end to sitting in front. This was actually Lin Han's distance between the two sides: I saw that, we were here to listen to the speech like you, but something unexpected happened.
"In fact, the topic of my speech today is not advanced physics, but "How will humans survive on Mars". Perhaps some of you know that I have written a novel called "Mars Rescue", which tells the story of an astronaut trapped in Mars who starts to save himself. In 20 years, can we land on Mars and live and survive smoothly?"
"Now everyone is ready, we're going to Mars! Not just astronauts, thousands of people are preparing to colonize Mars, believe me, this will happen in the near future. Maybe some of you will stay on Mars and I promise your kids will have the opportunity to stay there too. This may sound absurd, so I'm going to share with you how and when it happens!"
Lin Han chose the topic of his speech and was closely related to his novels, which would not exceed his level of knowledge. If he directly took Hawking's speech on black holes and a brief history of time, it would directly cause a sensation.
Half a step ahead is a genius, but if you pass, you will be a madman. Everyone knows that a film director cannot have such profound physics knowledge. He will definitely doubt Lin Han's identity and bring him many unnecessary troubles.
When talking about Mars' survival, others will not have any doubts. They all think that it is the knowledge and ideas he accumulated when writing novels, and he can also advertise the novels.
Using speeches from Tsinghua University to advertise is probably the highest level.
Facing so many audiences, Lin Han did not show his fear. He talked: "First of all, I want to discuss an obvious question: Why do we do this? Our earth is really incredibly fragile in front of the wonderful ideas of the universe. A slightly larger asteroid can make us disappear forever. In order to survive, we must have a reserve planet. There is another reason, we should do this. We humans are born to explore, which is the gene hidden in DNA.
...
As you can see, Mars is not like the Earth, but it is the most suitable place for living in the entire solar system except the Earth. However, there is a problem here. The journey to Mars is a thousand times the distance between the Earth and the Moon.
Mars is 400 million kilometers away from the Earth, and we need to reach it for eight months, and we only have two opportunities a year to land on this special time on this special day when the Earth and Mars are in a line, because at this time the distance of Mars is the shortest."
Lin Han's speech was ups and downs, but he was rushed to work and did not prepare a suitable demonstration picture, otherwise the audience could feel the meaning of his words more intuitively.
The audience who were originally yelling to leave the stage had already calmed down and began to seriously think about what Lin Han said, devoted themselves to thinking.
As for the foreign physicists in the front row, they were wearing translation headphones. They said to the Chinese scientists around them in surprise: "Wow, are all Chinese science fiction writers so powerful? It's so unbelievable!"
