Chapter 58 Future Technology Conference
(The new week is about to arrive, and the author is eager for everyone's recommendation votes, so let the votes be filled with all their money!)
The circle is sometimes so small. A novel with a good reputation is easily accepted by otaku geeks. They are even willing to help promote this work, without expecting any reward, and only care that the work they like is loved by more people.
What is it like to create a bestseller by yourself?
These old bookworms may say it is very good. They have saved countless authors who are on the verge of despair, selected a series of works from the sea of books, and then personally met the top Amazon sales list.
Jesse did not just post on SFFworld, he also communicated the news to international students in China. Although there were not many international students, there were quite a few people who like science fiction novels and science fiction movies.
These readers who were originally worried about not being able to understand Chinese science fiction novels have turned to the English version. The connection between these people is closely related, and it has quietly spread "I, Robot".
Because the price is not high, Lin Han has not been paying attention to the sales on Amazon. After he applied for the National Library card, he was slowly searching for what he wanted.
First, use your laptop to search for some knowledge you need, then lock the names of these books, and finally use the library system to find the books, and then get them back.
The English name of the book "Martian" is "The-Martian", which literally means Martians, or people who stay on Mars. The name "Martian" is more well-known to the Chinese.
This book has a lot of professional knowledge, such as why the protagonist's space suit was pierced at the beginning, why could he survive on Mars? How to even use the aircraft's propulsion device and hydrazine to develop a water supply system to collect all the water as much as possible to survive and grow potatoes, these are all things Lin Han wants to solve.
If the loopholes written are too big, it cannot be justified at all. It is a fatal flaw for a novel that claims to be hard science fiction.
In fact, the biggest bug in the novel appears in the storm at the beginning of the article. This is the cause of all the stories of "Marls Rescue" and is also the most unscientific place.
The atmosphere density of Mars is only 1% of that of the Earth, and the atmospheric pressure is much smaller than that of the Earth. There is no way to produce the violent storm described in the novel. The storms in the novel can blow all aircraft down.
However, although sandstorms often blew on Mars in reality, the wind was probably only equivalent to the breeze level on the earth, which was only blocking the view at most, and could not blow buildings or machinery at all. It was OK to fly kites.
Such a huge problem was placed in front of Lin Han, and he could not do anything if he wanted to modify it. If he was to be rigorous, he should abandon this setting and find a reason for the protagonist to stay on Mars again, but this is undoubtedly difficult.
If this setting is retained, then the perfection of the novel is abandoned and used to enhance the drama and conflict of the story. After all, there is a similar plot behind it, and the roaring wind damages the residence cabin.
Perhaps classics also have flaws, and some of them will become classics long ago. For example, Venus with broken arms does not need people to complete her arms. Lin Han plans to write two beginnings and then write them out to see which one has the better effect.
While thinking and fulfilling, Lin Han went out for a meal at noon and continued to return to the library to struggle. Compared with others, he had taken a shortcut and had to treat these works with a more professional attitude.
He recorded useful information on the computer document according to the classification tag. He typed while flipping through books, and occasionally searched for relevant information many times for an idea. His work attitude was comparable to that of a specialist.
If you want to write hard science fiction, you must start from these places. Soft science fiction can ignore these contents, but hard science fiction cannot do this.
In fact, as a person who has worked for many years, it is still difficult to understand these projects. At this moment, he is already covered in mud and it is almost difficult to think about.
Lin Han left before the library was closed. He needed to relax his mind and absorbed too much knowledge at once. He had to digest it before he could proceed.
Only when you are well prepared can you write like God’s help.
When he got home, he was not in a mood to cook at all. He turned on the electronic game console and started playing shooting games on the TV. The sound of banging bullets was endless, and Lin Han didn't even hear the knock on the door.
"Lin Han? Are you at home!"
Chen Jiaxuan's voice sounded from outside the door. She could hear the sound of games in the room, but no one came to open the door for her.
"Lin Han!"
As a last resort, she had to use her own roar skills to accurately transmit the volume to the room. Lin Han, who was having fun, turned his head in confusion and looked at the closed door, and then paused the game.
He opened the door and found that Chen Jiaxuan, wearing a sweater, was looking at him with anger, so he asked innocently: "Sister Xuan has something to ask me for?"
There was no heating in the corridor. Chen Jiaxuan shouted outside the door for almost two minutes. Her feet in slippers were a little frozen, so she quickly walked to the heating port in Lin Han's living room and said, "I heard the sound in your room, and I happened to have something to tell you. Look, this is your invitation letter, I will go to Shanghai the day after tomorrow."
Lin Han took the thing handed over by Chen Jiaxuan. When he opened it, he found that it was an invitation letter from the "2017 Future Science and Technology Conference", which seemed a bit high-end.
"I'll go, is this for me?"
"Of course it's for you. I received it two days ago, but I didn't open the letter. This Future Science and Technology Conference mainly invites thousands of representative figures in the field of science and technology, science fiction and science fiction enthusiasts to participate. I asked the organizer that many scientists and science fiction writers will attend. Of course, the most important thing is that this is combined with the Galaxy Award Ceremony, which is a project of the Future Science and Technology Conference."
Lin Han looked at the small words under the invitation in surprise and found that the organizers were "Science Fiction World" magazine, the Chinese Science Fiction Authors Association, and the Startup Future, and the National Innovation Base.
He pursed his lips and quipped, "The Galaxy Award is finally willing to be awarded. I thought they were going to miss the vote!"
The award that he had been looking forward to for so long was finally awarded. Lin Han said that he had to participate in whatever he wanted. This might be when he received the award on the spot.
"It's not that the ticket will be delayed. This is also the only science fiction award in mainland China, and you are likely to win the award. So now start booking air tickets online. Have you purchased your outfit? You can't wear a T-shirt to go on stage to receive the award." Chen Jiaxuan, as a veteran in the entertainment industry, looked at Lin Han with great contempt.
Lin Han touched his chin, and he spoke to Chen Jiaxuan, "I'd better ask the organizer what clothes he wears first. If everyone else is dressed casually, I'm just formal, wouldn't that be embarrassing?"
"I asked you, it's right to wear a casual suit. You may be the best author of science fiction among directors, and you also have the best directorial ability among science fiction authors."
