"Your idea is so awesome. The protagonist lives alone on Mars waiting for rescue. He still needs so much science and technology to support it. It sounds like a fantasy. I have never seen this way of writing it. You must write this book well. I have a premonition. This may be the science fiction novel that is closest to our lives. It is not as cold and distant as other hard science fiction, and it resonates with real life even more strongly."

"You think it's good, too?"

Lin Han and the others couldn't stop talking about the excitement. How the male protagonist can save himself, how to contact the outside world, and how the earth can save him, these are all suspense, which makes Li Wenyuan's heart suffocate.

This novel can turn the narrow, professional and niche fun of science into mass consumer goods, which is the best thing for Lin Han, who needs to increase his popularity.

"Martian Rescue" means a victory of personal heroism. The protagonist discovers the problem and then finds a solution to the problem. There are not many dramatic and twists and turns.

Whenever the reader finds that the protagonist is temporarily successful, new problems arise, which always attracts the readers' attention and makes them pray for the protagonist in their hearts.

"I plan to write this into a documentary science fiction novel, so there will be many real people, place names and science and technology, which is a big project. The only problem is the background setting of the protagonist. Why did he go to Mars? This is the key, and readers must be convinced."

In the original work of "Marl Rescue", the protagonist is Mark Watney, a botanist who focuses on hydrological and soil science and environmental science. His main work is concentrated in key areas of the earth. Later, he applied to join the NASA astronaut training program and then went to Mars to do scientific research.

This background makes readers believe why the protagonist can successfully grow potatoes on Mars and turn the fuel into water.

Li Wenyuan also knew that having such ideas was not enough. What was more important was that these minor things were not missing at all, and they could not be wrong.

Most people who like science fiction novels are more rigorous. They will notice the smallest bugs in it and then refute them. Sometimes a book will even be destroyed because of this.

"What do you think then? Is it about the protagonist's identity or work background?"

Li Wenyuan suddenly asked the key point: Mark Watney is an American scientist, his teammates are also Americans, and in the end it was NASA who cooperated with China to rescue Mark.

Lin Han didn't know whether the background should be modified. If it were not modified, some extreme readers would definitely think that he was a traitor. Two consecutive novels were played by foreigners as the protagonists, and maybe even scolded him.

"Martian Rescue" is equivalent to NASA's best promotional video. As a Chinese, something seems wrong with it.

So he said, "I originally planned to tell the protagonist that he was set as an American, and finally the United States and China cooperated to jointly save the astronaut trapped on Mars. But now, I think the protagonist can be designated as a Chinese, and the gap here will not have much impact. The most important thing in a book is the plot and narrative method, and the names and backgrounds of the characters are just symbols."

"Although this is true, it is very difficult for you to take into account both the domestic and international markets. Good works can ignore these problems. What you have to do now is to find the scientific and technological support involved so that the novel can stand the scrutiny."

Li Wenyuan looked at his friend with a complicated expression. This is really the material for writing science fiction novels. A long and short story that he has published are rare masterpieces in science fiction novels. Now the new book sounds very good, and it is the right thing to turn him into the science fiction world.

After determining what to write in the new book, Lin Han became relaxed. He had watched the movie "The Mars Rescue" and read the Chinese version of the novel, but he lost after reading some of the English version.

Those special scientific rankings and calculation methods appear in novels, especially the content about writing NASA accounts for 25 pages, which is so profound that it is a bit difficult to understand.

But now that Lin Han wants to write this novel, he must first understand these concepts and methods. Only when he understands them can he tell them to the readers in a simple and easy way.

This may be the most difficult novel in his writing career. It requires a lot of accumulation and research. This is not a matter of one day or one night.

"By the way, when will you publish a new book? It's been too long since you published this book. Your readers are looking for you to urge manuscripts online every day!" Lin Han was concerned about Li Wenyuan's new book. This guy hasn't released a new book for almost a year, and science fiction readers have long been hungry.

"I'm not in a hurry. I'm reading about time recently, wormholes and dimensions. The title of the book has been registered, called "Time and Space Tunnel". I'm currently making settings with a physics professor at Tsinghua University, which is quite troublesome."

No book is so easy to write. A novel with hundreds of thousands of words requires too many things to fill in, and it is not something you can write just by wanting to.

Since he is a friend, he doesn't have so many concerns. Li Wenyuan asked curiously: "Your book "I, Robot" has a very good sales momentum. How many points are you given to royalties? Now, there is no need to worry about the total sales of more than 500,000 copies. Your goal must be to make a million."

"I signed the step-shaped royalties. The more I sold, the more royalties I got. One million is a bit far away. The sales are still quite strong now. I hope it can continue. When will your Galaxy Award be selected? I saw in November I said that "Rural Teacher" entered the rematch. I don't know the result yet, and it has been a year."

Lin Hanke entered the science fiction world because of the Galaxy Award essay award, but now his new books have been put on the shelves, but whether the short story had won the award before is still unknown, and his efficiency is too slow.

Li Wenyuan shrugged and said with a smile: "I thought you were so calm and didn't care about these things. The result has been handed over to "Science Fiction World". I can't get specific information here. The confidentiality work is very good, and the people from the notary office will conduct statistics."

"Aren't you a judge? The judges don't know the result, but no matter how I say my "Rural Teacher" is not too bad, at least there should be a consolation prize."

Lin Han joked that he originally wanted to know the content of the award in advance through Li Wenyuan, but now he has failed. However, he does not value the prize money of this award too much. Currently, "I, Robot" has such a good sales momentum, and his royalties will not be much worse.

However, the title of Galaxy Award is very important for a science fiction writer and is the highest honor for domestic science fiction novels.

The foreign award is the Hugo Award, also known as the "Science Fiction Achievement Award", but it does not commemorate the great writer Victor Hugo, but also the founder of the American science fiction magazine Hugo Gensbuck. In addition, there are the Nebula Awards awarded by the World Science Fiction Association, the International Fantasy Award from the Science Fiction Writers Association, the Pilgrim Award from the Science Fiction Research Association, etc., which are all important awards.

Foreign awards are temporarily unavailable, but the Galaxy Award in China has given Lin Han a glimmer of hope. His "Rural Teacher" not only has increased its influence, but has also won unanimous praise from both inside and outside the industry.
