Chapter 203 Overkill
Lin Han's hand burst out quickly and wrote the short story of more than 20,000 words at 10 o'clock in the evening. His wrists and fingers were a little painful at this moment, and he didn't think so much about it just now.
Chen Jiaxuan has sent him several messages on WeChat, and now she has time to open it and reply slowly. Fortunately, both of them are not the kind of extremely lingering people, and they agreed to be urged to go to bed early after meeting tomorrow.
After twisting his wrists and doing exercises, Lin Han began to proofread the novel one by one. If "The Wandering Earth" is strictly considered not hard science fiction, the focus is more on human nature.
When Lin Han first read this novel, he was attracted by the title of a literary and artistic book. How could the earth wander? As a result, after reading it, he was out of control and completely fell into the big pit of science fiction and never crawled out again, and he was unwilling to come out.
If we look at Lin Han himself, he actually doesn't understand the human escape in the novel, perhaps he will become a standard spaceship school.
Packing the entire earth into the universe for wandering, most of the energy that drives the earth forward is consumed on useless loads, that is, the matter inside the earth's crust that constitutes the planet. The greatest significance of these matter is to generate gravity, but gravity can also be simulated by the rotation of the spacecraft.
From a literary perspective, Lin Han can understand the original intention of novel writing. The aesthetic core of "The Wandering Earth" is the image of science promoting the world wandering in the universe. Escape on a spaceship is a completely different escape from the world. Of course, the former is higher.
Lin Han knew that most of the novel would cause discussion after it was released. Faced with the upcoming explosion of the sun, humans could only survive if they flew out of the solar system, and space navigation was very necessary.
But taking the entire earth away may be a form of pinnacle of space navigation, with a very grand momentum, which is a scene that most authors and readers dare not imagine. Humans do not build spacecraft, but treat the earth directly as a super-large spacecraft.
If you look into too much, "The Wandering Earth" seems to have many scientific loopholes. Even if so many engines look extremely grand, even if they are fully powered, they can only bring an acceleration of 0.0001 to the earth. Not to mention space navigation, it is impossible to change the orbit of the revolution.
These loopholes cannot be modified. All Lin Han can do is to make simple language modifications. The textual expressions of the novel are a bit immature and lack artistic craftsmanship.
Lin Han was trying to replace these descriptions with his own words, modifying the inappropriate and vague textual meaning of simplification and traditional Chinese. Even if he was not successful, he could learn something and achieve artistic return to nature.
Lin Han felt that the analogy of the relationship between the light columns emitted by the earth's engine was a bit unnatural, so he modified it to "If the plain is compared to the base of a Greek temple, then the light column that penetrates directly into the clouds is the pillar supporting the hall, and the tiny humans are just coming to eat a grain of dust from the super god."
There are also some stereotypes in the character creation in the novel. There are very few impressive characters in the characters written in the full text, and there are not many highlights. Lin Han cannot reach the point where famous artists use more than ten words to show a flesh-and-blood character. He can only try to make each character bear as much storyline as possible, so that there are few people and many plays, and the key points are highlighted, so that they can create a full character image.
At first, I just used the full text to transfer it, and the work was very easy, and it was just a piece of cake for Lin Han. It was just that the polish and modification were quite time-consuming.
He was excited at this moment. Even if he didn't use coffee or Red Bull to refresh himself, he almost stayed up all night. He completed the Wandering Earth with red eyes, and then sent it to the secretariat of the Chinese Science Popularization Writers Association, asking them to collect and organize it and send it to the Science Pictorial as a supplement.
After doing all this, Lin Han was not even energetic to take a bath. After he went to the bedroom to pull the curtains, he fell directly on the bed and fell asleep.
It was dark and I didn't know anything happened outside. I completely forgot to make an appointment with Chen Jiaxuan to go out to play together today.
Chen Jiaxuan waited around, but she didn't see Lin Han driving to pick her up. Usually, he was more punctual. Is something going on?
"Why don't you even answer the phone? What's wrong!"
She sent all QQ, WeChat and text messages, but she could not contact Lin Han at all. She was worried and had to grab her car key and go directly to the community where Lin Han was.
Fortunately, since he was in love, Chen Jiaxuan has the key to Lin Han’s house and opened the door directly into the room. She found that the lights in the living room were still on during the day, and the phone in the study was flashing with red lights that needed to be charged. On the computer screen was a receipt for email receipt at 6 a.m.
The great writer was lying on the bed without any image, with an air conditioner covering her belly and was asleep.
"I'm so scared that I'm actually staying up late to write novels." Chen Jiaxuan was relieved at this time. She was really worried about something unexpected happened to Lin Han, and now she wanted to curse people.
However, Chen Jiaxuan, seeing that he had stayed up all night, quietly closed the bedroom door, and then walked into the living room lightly. Today's date was a waste.
...
At about the same time, Xia Xiao, secretary of the China Science Popularization Writers Association, sorted out her work email as usual. She was relatively leisurely in her work every day. There were not many things in this association. Most of the time she could spend drinking coffee in the office.
After the Salon of the Science Fiction Lecture Hall was held yesterday, many authors would probably send their novels. It would be unrealistic to let everyone write them out immediately. Many people have one or two stocks that have not been published to the public.
Sure enough, Xia Xiao saw that except for a few spam emails in the email address, the remaining eight unread emails were all from science fiction and popular science writers in the association.
She opened the attachment one by one. She was not responsible for reading the book, but only for summarizing it. So after just scanning some of these titles, she didn't want to read it at all, until she saw "The Wandering Earth".
This name is so attractive, with a sense of literary, grand and vicissitudes. Before the leader came, Xia Xiao clicked on this ord document and read it carefully.
The description at the beginning made her a little puzzled. She hadn’t seen the rest of the seasons, could she live in the equatorial area, but she couldn’t say that she hadn’t seen the stars and the moon.
When she saw the earth entering the brake era and stopping rotation, she was frightened directly. The writing was too grand and shocking!
When the protagonist "I" talked about the principle of the Earth's engine in a self-described tone, Xia Xiao was shocked again. No wonder he had to call the Wandering Earth, and directly escaped the Earth to Proxima Centauri. Domestic science fiction writers could actually write such a magnificent science fiction novel, and it was not enough to describe it.
When she saw the earth turn into the largest spacecraft flying around the sun and hit the asteroid belt head-on, her heart became nervous. Antimatter bombs bombarded these asteroids, trying to blow up a way out for the earth.
Some of the asteroid's fragments still passed through the atmosphere, dragging their dazzling tails to hit the ground, the sea surface, and stirring up huge waves hundreds of meters high to wash the earth. Such a bombing lasted for a week!
The earth was shrouded in thick dust generated by bombardment, without a trace of light, people were in a dim mood, the fragile ones almost committed suicide, one-third of the engines in the Western Hemisphere were destroyed, and humans rely on the engines in the Eastern Hemisphere to complete the era of escape.
Xia Xiao's heart was completely attracted by this novel. She saw that the earth and Jupiter passed by almost the collision distance, and could not control her mood at all, and she exclaimed in a low voice.
Various magnificent details were described, and humans even installed planetary engines on the moon to push it out of the earth's orbit, which caused huge waves on the sea surface and the thawing of the frozen ocean.
This happened to be the topic discussed yesterday. What kind of impact will be when the moon suddenly disappears? It’s just that in "The Wandering Earth", humans took the initiative to send the moon away.
Xia Xiao, immersed in the novel, didn't notice that his boss had been standing next to her for a while, and his colleague's desperate cough did not attract her attention.
"Xiao Xia, it seems that you don't like science fiction novels. You're not reading them with relish. But now you can send these articles to me to satisfy your cravings before you continue reading them."
The vice president said with a smile that he had no intention of blame. It was actually normal to go to work here to read science fiction novels.
Xia Xiao was startled after coming back to her senses. She quickly stood up and said, "President, I will send it to you immediately. This book "The Wandering Earth" is very beautiful and attractive!"
Xiao Nuo, the vice president of the Science Popularization Writers Association, asked in surprise: "It's really that good? Which writer wrote it?"
"Lin Han." Xia Xiao continued to add, "It's Lin Han who won the Hugo Award."
"It's not surprising that it was written by Lin Han. Send me a copy." After Xiao Nuo finished speaking, he couldn't wait to return to his office. He wanted to have a sneak peek.
Xiao Nuo is also a science fiction writer, but he has not continued to write most of the time and is mainly focused on the officialdom, but he can't get rid of it at once!
In addition to the magnificent description and tragic novels, the novel also has a feminine side. Lin Han discussed the human culture and psychology of this special era. The threat of death and the desire to escape overwhelm everything, gradually changing the psychological state and spiritual life of human beings in essence. Human beings have already taken love that is not related to life and death very lightly.
From the writer's perspective, this book combines the literary nature of the novel and scientific fiction, which reaches a balance in "The Wandering Earth".
"This idea is so surprising. It is obviously the subject of a novel. Why do you need to write a short story? It's a pity to use it!" (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
