At No. 11, Section 4, Renmin South Road, Shudu, Provincial Association for Science and Technology Building, in the editorial office of "Science Fiction World", several editors are distributing a large stack of manuscripts from all over the country sent from the communication room. One of the editors, in his 30s, was on the thin side, but his eyes were bright. This person is none other than Yao Junjun, the new editor of the editorial department, who was rejected by editor-in-chief A Laili a few months ago because he inadvertently discovered the new science fiction newcomer Liu Chixin, and was transferred from the most marginalized department of the magazine "Readers' Club" to the editorial department.

As the only remaining fruit in the science fiction industry in Chinese mainland, a banner of science fiction literature, compared with the embarrassment of ten years ago when there was no manuscript, no name, and in order to save money, even editors needed to push carts to sell magazines on the street, the "Science Fiction World" in the past two years can be described as thriving and proud.

In 1997, the 97 Beijing International Science Fiction Conference (97\'Beijing/International/Conference/on/Science/Fiction), sponsored by the China Association for Science and Technology and hosted by Science Fiction World, not only played a great role in the promotion of science fiction across the country, but also doubled the circulation of "Science Fiction World", from less than 100,000 copies in 97 to more than 200,000 copies.

In 1999, a big event happened again in the science fiction world, and "Science Fiction World" became popular again. Editor-in-chief A Lai's short essay title "If Memories Can Be Transplanted" in "Science Fiction World" became the topic of the college entrance examination that year, and "Science Fiction World" suddenly became famous. So much so that many parents who don't advocate their children watching science fiction have also paid money to subscribe to science fiction magazines for their children, and even snapped up past issues and bound copies. The circulation of Science Fiction World. It doubled again, surging from more than 200,000 copies to nearly 400,000 copies, and became the world's largest science fiction magazine in circulation! "Science Fiction World" itself has also been abandoned by the Provincial Association for Science and Technology as an outcast from the beginning, leaving it to be responsible for its own profits and losses. By the end of 1999, the output value of "Science Fiction World" had reached 20 million yuan, and the magazine had begun to build buildings on land.

The popularity of magazines to make money is secondary. The most direct consequence is to get rid of the long-standing shortage of manuscripts, which has brought about a surge and blowout of manuscripts! Now, almost every day the authors receive manuscripts have to be packed in sacks. There are only a few editors in the magazine, unless the article has been published in the magazine. An old author who has left a big name. For a large number of new authors, it is almost impossible to read their manuscripts word by word, just like the college entrance examination teacher, look at the beginning of one or two hundred words, whether to continue reading or throw the trash, basically you can have a conclusion.

For the big bags of manuscripts every day, the editors of Science Fiction World will first select the manuscripts of old authors who are directly submitted to the designated editors. The remainder of the large number of anonymous authors usually do so by drawing lots. Feel free to distribute it evenly.

Among today's big bags of manuscripts, there are no manuscripts that are directly submitted to their old authors. Yao Jun was a little disappointed. What he hopes for the most is the contribution of Liu Chixin, a dark horse in the science fiction industry that he likes and he himself is blessed with because of this. But since the other party came to the sensational "Bring Her Eyes" in September, there is no manuscript until now, and I don't know when I can come again.

The two colleagues next door suddenly began to cheer. In their hands, they received drafts from Wang Jinkang and He Xi respectively. He Xi is an old man in the science fiction circle, who began to publish his works in 91 and is one of the representative authors of China's new generation of science fiction novels, while Wang Jinkang, not to mention, can be said to be the pillar of "Science Fiction World" and a standard-bearer in the entire science fiction circle in the 90s. Every time there is a manuscript from Lao Wang, the entire editorial department will be like discovering a delicious thing, and everyone will rush to see it.

Yao Junjun shouted a few words in his unique Northeast accent, asked the two of them to read it quickly, and after reading it, he passed the manuscript over, made a few lively words, and then started his own work. He first browsed the twenty or thirty emails in his hand, and found that the authors of the manuscript were everywhere in the east, west, north, south, and middle, and the distribution was quite even.

After that, I began to open the letter and read the manuscript.

As the only surviving and largest science fiction literary magazine in the country, "Science Fiction World" pioneered the trend, as early as 1996, after publishing a long article "I am on the information superhighway in the United States" by Yi Dan, a professor of Sichuan University studying in the United States, it began to equip the magazine with computers from the president, editor-in-chief, and ordinary editors to implement paperless office. Editors who are accustomed to computers want to receive e-mail manuscripts the most, which is not only convenient for them to read, review, but also simple and trouble-free for typesetting workers. It's a pity that so far, 99% of the "paper mail" manuscripts they receive are handwritten. Yao Junjun has been reading the manuscript for half a year, and there are not 10,000 manuscripts but 1,000 copies, except for the "Liu electrician" from the Niangziguan Hydropower Station in Shanxi, all of which are printed by computer, and the rest of the manuscripts are all handwritten.

After opening ten manuscripts in a row, Yao Junjun did not find any excellent works. But this is also a common thing, the editorial department receives dozens or hundreds of manuscripts every day, and it is good to have one or two that meet the publication standard. Because of the limited space of "Science Fiction World", there are only about a dozen articles that can be published every month. Among these dozen or so articles, there should be one or two translations by foreign famous artists, and some articles that promote popular science, such as "Editor-in-Chief's Column" -- the editor-in-chief's essays and messages; "Illustrated Science Fiction" -- introducing foreign science fiction experts; "Science Fiction Film and Television" -- introducing recent popular science fiction movies, and so on. Therefore, the articles of domestic writers that can be published can be as good as eight/nine, or more than a dozen, and on average, all editors can only meet a qualified manuscript in three days. Just now, Lao Wang and He Xi's two manuscripts that must be qualified, frankly speaking, Yao Junjun didn't expect to gain anything today.

I opened seven or eight more envelopes, but I still didn't find any works that could make his eyes shine. Yao Junjun rubbed his sour eyes, got up, and went to refill the teacup that had drunk more than half of it. On the way back to his desk, he saw that Wang Jinkang's new work "Cute Robot Dog" had reached the hands of Tian Ziyi, the director of the editorial department. Lao Tian, who is over half a hundred years old, is cross-legged, immersed in the imaginary world created by Wang Jinkang, and Yao Haijun, a sci-fi fan, is very hot.

"Director, remember to show it to me after reading it!" Yao Junjun said to Tian Ziyi.

"Okay, okay. Tian Ziyi said without raising his head.

returned to his seat and continued to open the letter, three articles in a row, Yao Junjun only read the beginning, and threw it into the trash. The writing is too clumsy, just like a middle school student's essay, no matter how good the creative idea is, it is not enough to be qualified. Yao Junjun stretched his waist, glanced at the manuscript on the table, and there were five or six letters, and then glanced at Tian Ziyi's direction, the other party's expression was leisurely, obviously Lao Wang's manuscript this time was of good quality. Yao Junjun looked forward to reading for a while.

Picking up one of the manuscripts above, the envelope was large, and it was a rare registered letter.

This man was confident in his manuscript. Yao Junjun thought to himself, most of the manuscripts he received in ordinary times were ordinary letters, and there were very few registered mails - and they were not reincarnated by starving ghosts, so there was no need.

"The second year of high school in Sifang Middle School, Sifang City, SC Province, Wang Zi'an - is he a teacher?" Yao Junjun glanced at the sender and address. There are a lot of demolitions, and Yao Junjun has also dismantled some doorways, for example, the profession of the person who came to do it, sometimes he can guess one, two, three by the address of the other party. The first thing Yao Junjun thought of was that the other party might be a teacher, and most of them were still teaching Chinese. Because if you are a student, you will never leave a specific class and only a sophomore in high school.

Tearing down the envelope, Yao Junjun took out the manuscript and was stunned for a moment. When he was weighing the envelope just now, Yao Junjun guessed that this manuscript was a bit too much, and the consequences of taking it out were unexpected, there were actually two manuscripts, each with a lot of pages, one of which had at least 20 pages, and the other had 167 pages.

But this is not the reason why Yao Junjun was stunned, the reason why he was stunned was that these two manuscripts were all computer printouts, just like Liu Chixin's manuscript he received a few months ago. Fortunately, he looked at the sender's information before reading the manuscript, otherwise, it would have been thought that "Liu Electrician" had come to a new draft.

Yao Junjun picked up the top of the two manuscripts, "The Village Teacher", and began to read it with more seriousness than when he read the previous manuscripts.
