Chapter 39 Soft and Hard Science Fiction

"To be honest, if you want to take the publishing route, it is recommended that you write down the following quickly, so that after the magazine is published in the first issue, you can negotiate with the publisher and use the magazine's serialization to drive the sales of physical books. If you don't have a suitable publishing house, I can introduce one, Renmin University Press is very famous in the industry."

Li Wenyuan suggested that this novel is very attractive and can have epoch-making contributions. The three major laws are very wise at first glance, and they can almost create a robot series separately.

Lin Han's smile did not stop, and he shrugged: "I am currently in active contact. My writing speed is still good. I should be able to write all the chapters by the end of December."

"So fast?" Li Wenyuan stood up and said in surprise. He felt that writing these things sometimes all depends on inspiration. When inspiration comes, you can write like a spring. When inspiration leaves, there is only one word to hold it out.

Compared with other writers, Lin Han is simply cheating. He has something in his mind. He just needs to write it out and modify various details to avoid bugs.

After looking at the watch, the two of them walked out of the cafe after checking out. At this time, the ringtones were ringing in the Renmin University campus, and the students on the way were much hurried, and they wanted to go to the classroom as soon as possible.

The young and energetic college students are full of vitality. Lin Han feels that he is obviously not a few years older, but his mood is completely different.

Li Wenyuan led the way, and he joked: "The students of Renmin University are all very good. I have signed a sale here. At least no one asked me to sign the pirated books. Moreover, there are many books in the library here, so it is good to check the information occasionally. In our science fiction industry, necessary scientific knowledge is indispensable. Hard science fiction is more likely to be favored, so we must come and charge it frequently."

Indeed, writing science fiction articles is not a different type. At least it requires a certain amount of scientific theories to support them. You cannot think about it casually, otherwise you will lose the foundation of reality.

"If I hadn't been too far from here, I would have wanted to come and have a long time to see it. After being with these young people for a long time, my mentality would have become younger."

Lin Han lives in a place that is not the same as here. He still needs to transfer to the subway. It’s okay to come here occasionally.

At this time, a small exhibition stand was erected outside Mingde Hall. On the exhibition stand was a middle-aged elegant man with other words. On the poster, Mr. Tong Yonglie, the author of "Descendants of the God of War" and "Mirror of the Moon", visited the National People's Congress. Interested students can enter directly.

It was almost ten o'clock, and students came over with books or shoulders on their backs. It was rare that one day, Mingde Hall would not have a ticket, so they just came over to take a look.

"Oh, Zhuzhu, please go faster. It's ten o'clock soon. If there is no place, I will kill you!" A girl wearing glasses in flat shoes ran quickly forward, and there was a girl behind her who was out of breath following.

"Don't worry, this is a science fiction lecture. Can you understand if you run over and listen to economics? You can go and take a seat for me first, and I'll take a break."

There were also several boys who were teaming up to talk happily, and they were chatting while walking, "If you hadn't told me, you would have almost forgotten that Tong Dada came to our school to give a lecture, and he was in Mingde Hall, so he almost missed it."

"I like Tong Dada's "Meteor in Centauri" the most. Unfortunately, I haven't seen his new book for a long time. Science fiction is getting worse and worse now."

"That's right, except for a few who can make it out, science fiction writers are not good now, and only Li Wenyuan and Dong Haobo's books can be read for a few times."

"Have you seen it recently? The popular "Rural Teacher" in the Douban group? I looked at it and thought it was very good. At least the author has a bit of physical foundation and is not nonsense."

Lin Han and Li Wenyuan stood in front of the exhibition stand and smiled at each other. They actually heard their names from the mouths of these students. This feeling was quite wonderful.

When they walked into Mingde Hall, they found that the black and black heads looked very scary. Before they started, there was no place in front, and even the middle and back rows were left with only corners.

At this time, there were still a steady stream of students coming in from several entrances. More than 800 viewers were looking forward to it in the room that could accommodate 1,000 people.

Lin Han chose a random position next to him and sat down with Li Wenyuan. They looked at these young faces carefully and felt very inspired.

The audience of science fiction literature is very young. These people are the backbone of supporting science fiction literature in the future. It turns out that so many people still pay attention to it and silently support science fiction literature. They are not alone!

As time came, Tong Yonglie walked onto the podium alone on the stage. He looked a little gray, but his whole body was in a very good spirit. He was handsome in a straight suit and had a calm and elegant atmosphere.

"Good morning everyone. I was very worried about the venue being selected. When I came out, I found so many classmates. Could it be that you were the child care students invited by the student union?"

Tong Yonglie seemed to have a humorous personality. He started to liven up the atmosphere and tease himself casually.

The following students also cooperated actively and said in unison: "No! We are running water!"

"What does tap water mean?" Tong Yonglie smiled, "Today we won't talk about the issue of tap water or boiled water. We are discussing the development of science fiction literature. Science fiction is also a kind of literature. Although it started late in China, it has developed quite rapidly. In recent days, I read the novel "Rural Teachers" written by a new author. I heard that it is very popular among your students. Have you ever seen it?"

The following students answered in a chattering manner, some said they had read it, some said they hadn't, and some people quickly wrote down the name and went back to search. The noisy atmosphere on the scene was very good, and it was not as boring as usual lectures, and everyone could participate.

"Before we start today, let's figure out a concept. Many people divide science fiction literature into hard science fiction and soft science fiction. Who can share with us the difference between these two science fiction in your eyes?"

The pair of hands quickly raised up. This topic can be said to be a long-lasting topic. No matter where it is proposed, it can quickly build hundreds of floors of posts, and the popularity remains high.

Most of the students on the scene were boys, but the number of girls was even one-quarter. This was at Renmin University, not Tsinghua University or other science and engineering schools. Although Renmin University is a comprehensive university, it mainly favors liberal arts and history, and there are so many science fiction readers here. Lin Han feels that he and others have underestimated the readers base of the younger generation.

Both hands raised high and had answers to this question. Tong Yonglie couldn't see Li Wenyuan or something clearly among so many people. He just found a boy in blue striped clothes. The staff rushed up and handed him the microphone.

"Hello, Teacher Tong, the most standard definition of hard science fiction in encyclopedia is science fiction works based on the main perspective of physics laws or engineering technology. Soft science fiction is a relatively main world. The fantasy literature works that are no longer in these technologies, but are still maintained within the scientific scope. They can also be called social and humanistic science fiction literature."

What a good guy, who is a liberal arts student, Lin Han admires this boy's memory and can memorize the interpretation of the encyclopedia intact.

After hearing his explanation, the other students basically nodded. The respective characteristics of these two science fiction have been discussed countless times.

However, Tong Yonglie was not satisfied. He took the microphone and walked to the front of the stage. "This is the explanation of the encyclopedia. What about your own opinion, this classmate?"

"I think the so-called soft and hard science fiction literature are mainly from the perspective of technology and science fiction conception. Hard science fiction uses astronomy, physics, biology and other natural sciences as the core of theory and creativity, such as black holes, artificial intelligence, and genetic transformation. Soft science fiction is a lack of technical details, so it is more abstract and conceived from a sociological perspective."

People at the scene presented the applause to the male classmate. No matter how he could memorize the most standard answer, he could also give his own understanding. Such a person is very rare.

Lin Han nodded after hearing this. In fact, hard science fiction and soft science fiction are not too clearly classified. Sometimes it is not only different from the conception and the kernel, but also depends on the specific expression form of novels or movies.

For example, when filming time and space travel on Earth, "Interstellar" is hard science fiction, with various physics principles as the basis, which makes people think this is feasible. However, "Horror Cruise" keeps returning to the same day, which is so soft that it is not considered science fiction, and often does not consider whether it is scientifically tenable.

In reality, readers like hard science fiction novels and movies, which are easier to accept and more straightforward. Even when reading hard science fiction books, they will think that these situations will indeed happen in the future.
