Chapter 67 The beginning of everything is difficult
The sales volume of physical books exceeded 30,000 copies in a day, which is definitely a huge recovery for "I, Robot". The previous hot sales situation basically slowed down two weeks after the beginning.
The latter is to rely on reputation to slowly increase sales, with thousands or thousands of increase, and time to accumulate sales.
At present, the total sales of the physical version of "I, Robot" has reached nearly 420,000 copies, while the total sales of the online electronic version has reached 280,000 copies, which is getting closer and closer to two-star writers.
The power of the Galaxy Award is naturally extraordinary for science fiction readers, which represents authoritative recognition. Some people were bbs saying that "Rural Teacher" is not a pure science fiction novel, but now they are only slapped in the face.
A novel that even the Galaxy Award recognizes, you say it is not science fiction, isn’t that nonsense?
Some science fiction readers who were not interested in short stories were originally uninterested in collections of short stories, after seeing the news that Lin Han won the Galaxy Award in a shortage of books, they couldn't resist the praise and curiosity, so they went over to check it out.
An award brings not only honor and reputation, but also real things like sales and bonuses, so it is normal to increase sales.
The heating in the house quickly evaporated the water marks on the floor. Chen Jiaxuan said to Lin Han: "Since you have just come back, let's have a meal together to celebrate your achievements."
"I have to treat you. This time the bonus is given, at least I can buy a toilet in Yanjing." Lin Han said with a smile, "Don't be polite to me, I'll be so generous this time and say whatever I want to eat."
"Okay, let's go to Yuelu Mountain House. I heard that there is a good place and the environment is very good, which is more suitable for you."
Lin Han had never heard of this place, and he didn't care too much, just quipped: "This name sounds a bit like Yuelu Academy, the oldest university in China. Anyway, you'll just decide, don't save me money."
Chen Jiaxuan put on her slippers. After looking at her phone, she said, "You can rest for a while. It's still early. We all came by 7 o'clock. There are many branches in Yanjing City."
When I go out for dinner, I must put on makeup and change clothes, and Lin Han expressed his understanding. It is only less than three o'clock in the afternoon and there is enough time.
He sent Chen Jiaxuan out and watched her enter his room before turning around and closing the door.
Since you have enough time, just start writing novels. The outline and detailed outline have been listed. What you need to do now is to formulate a schedule and a relationship chart of characters.
Most of "Martian Rescue" are one-man shows with the male protagonist, and there are basically few other characters. The novel uses first-person writing techniques, which can display more realistic and accurate inner activities in front of readers.
"Log:sol6
I'm completely fucked! This is my conclusion after thinking about it over and over again, it's finished.
These six days should have been the beginning of the two most glorious months of my life, but it turned out to be the prelude to a nightmare.
I don't know who will look at these things at all. I guess one day people will find it, maybe 100 years later.
Seriously, I recorded it...sol6, I was not dead. The other teammates must think I was dead, so of course they can't blame them.
Maybe a state funeral will be held in a while, and my Wikipedia page will also read this way: Li Yunfan is the only human being who died on Mars so far."
The novel begins with the protagonist Li Yunfan flashbacks at the video recorder, who is the crew member of the third batch of missions in the Yinghuo plan.
The so-called Yinghuo is the name of Mars in ancient times, and the Yinghuo Project is that humans arrive at Mars, send people to another planet for the first time, expand the human horizon forever, etc.
The first and second phases of the Yinghuo Project were successfully completed. The crew landed in different places on Mars, then returned to Earth and became respectable astronauts.
"I guess, by the time this recorder is discovered, the rest of the teammates will have already died of old age. Of course, the premise is that they can return to Earth safely. Guys, if you can see this recorder alive, listen: It's not your fault, you did what you should do. If I were to do, I would have made the same decision. I won't blame you, I'm glad you survived."
The first few hundred words of "Mars Rescue" outline a rough background, and also depict an optimistic and atmospheric image of the protagonist, and explain to readers why they are the only one who stays on Mars and waits for death.
All the flight missions of the Yinghu Plan were sent to Mars through the Jingwei spacecraft. Because the machine was huge and stimulating, the China Space Administration only built one. Each time it was started, it had to consume a lot of chemical fuel to send the spacecraft to Mars and move.
In the following content, it was Lin Han's turn to start filling in some of the information he had found. For example, the Jingwei is driven by an ion engine and ejects argon atoms backwards at an ultra-high speed, thereby obtaining the overall tiny acceleration of the spacecraft. It only requires less nuclear reaction room to provide continuous acceleration along the way.
These scientific things cannot tolerate any mistakes. Lin Han writes them carefully and stops from time to time to check with the materials, trying to make the sentences simple and easy to understand, and will not cause too much reading dysfunction to readers.
In addition, he also introduced the details of the Mars landing vehicle (MDV), which is closely related to the subsequent plot. It takes 3 years from the beginning to the end of the Mars mission.
If there is a landing vehicle, there is a lift-off vehicle. The Mars lift-off vehicle (MV) uses a series of exquisite designs to react with the Martian atmospheric stroke. It does not state that one kilogram of hydrogen can produce 13 kilograms of fuel by going to Mars, but this takes a relatively long time.
The design limit for surface tasks is to cope with dust storms with wind speeds of 150 miles per hour, but Li Yunfan and others encountered a giant sand storm of 175 miles per hour.
When they left the perch cabin and tried to walk to Mars to fly into the vehicle, the communicator blown by the strong wind fell into the antenna array, and a long and thin antenna passed directly through Li Yunfan's space suit and took him to a distance and fell down.
Fortunately, the antenna just tugged his waist muscles and did not pierce it. The loophole in the spacesuit began to slowly flow out the oxygen.
There is no way out. The blood gushing out of the wound quickly gathers at the damaged parts of the space suit. The water evaporates rapidly under strong airflow and low pressure, leaving behind sticky residues. As the blood flows more and more, these residues gradually increase, and finally slowly strengthen the seal of the damaged parts, reducing the oxygen leakage in the space suit to an acceptable level.
When he wrote this paragraph, Lin Han stopped, but the first three thousand words made him think a lot. The brisk and humorous writing style and the protagonist's frequent complaints made those boring scientific parts fun.
When night fell, he kept these manuscripts very seriously and uploaded them to the cloud disk to prevent them from being lost.
At this time, Chen Jiaxuan looked very happy. She was holding her bag and smiling like a flower. Under the lights in the corridor, Lin Han was shaking, and a stunning look appeared.
"Let's go, we can set off. By the way, I'm not willing to talk about these things when I get off work like this."
I just opened the Qidian today and found that 26 people were rewarded. This is usually the total number of rewards in the previous week. I was so scared that the author Jun quickly rubbed his eyes and saw if he was dazzled.
(n_n)Thank you all the rewards!
Chapter completed!
