(In the new week, the author is coming to harvest the recommended votes~~ Don't miss it when you pass by, join the bookshelf to have a wave!)

In the world of science fiction, Mars is nothing new. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There are countless science fiction works with the theme of Mars, aliens from Mars, the road from Earth to Mars, the transformation of Mars, and the transformation of Martians......

The themes of this series have basically been excavated, but Lin Han's "The Martian" is really eye-catching, this is a back-to-basics story.

Some people think that this novel is hacking NASA, but in fact this is a huge promotion of NASA, and there are more than ten pages in the original book that tell about NASA. And in the filming of the movie version, NASA gave the green light.

Lin Han remembers that the original author of the novel was invited to the Houston Space Center, driving the rover, operating the cameras of the International Space Station, and so on. The director of the film was even treated as a guest of honor, and at the same time sent a professional team to solve the specific appearance of the space life module, how to operate the aircraft, how to eat the astronauts, and even NASA scientists also helped the film design props, and the "radioisotope heat exchanger" in the movie is a masterpiece.

Of course, NASA contributed more than that, they also helped The Martian with promotional activities, such as publishing strong evidence of the presence of liquid water found on Mars, releasing a detailed plan for a human landing on Mars in 2030, and being the best winner of the Outstanding Science Activity Award.

In this life, NASA was replaced by the China Space Agency, and the effect seems to be similar, Lin Han spent a lot of effort to understand the details of the space agency and show them in front of the reader.

Many readers came to buy books for Lin Han's fame and his fascinating synopsis, how a person can save himself on Mars.

And the result did not disappoint them, the protagonist is not the kind of tall and complete image, but a sailor, funny, and thoughtful person, he will swear in the face of the global live broadcast when he is in a hurry, and he will also complain about his teammates' aesthetics on Mars alone.

A group of people land on Mars, an accident happens, the hero is trapped on Mars, and he must rely on scarce resources to survive until someone comes to rescue him.

It's a setting that seems unusually mundane in Mars-related science fiction, with no Martian creatures, no extraterrestrial technology, no earth-shattering conspiracy, not even a more high-tech way to land.

Putting aside those amazing fantasies, Shan Dai chose a seemingly simple thing like "I want to escape", returning the whole story to the most primitive state.

It's very rare to find a science fiction novel with such a minimum fantasy component, but it must be admitted that this is a science fiction novel, and it is the most appreciative hard science fiction.

Most importantly, in the absence of a grand worldview, the novel doesn't discuss any humanistic concerns, even though it's a favorite of science fiction writers.

Imagining the unknown, science fiction always tries to give realistic guidance to things that are not coming, "The Martian" obviously did not do such a bitter and hateful thing, but chose something more simple and clear - it is a living thing, no matter how much it costs, you must save him and bring him back to Earth!

……

"Tan Lin, your courier has arrived, please come down and pick it up, thank you. ”

The express delivery from Dangdang.com was delivered to the downstairs of the community on the afternoon of May 1, Tan Lin is a senior science fiction lover, he has been reading science fiction since he was a student, and his book age is about ten years.

Tan Lin, who is engaged in university physics education, has a more tricky taste, if it weren't for Lin Han's last book to conquer him, he would not have been so ruthless to place an order to participate in the pre-order.

After opening the courier with his bare hands, Tan Lin entered his study, opened the brand-new "The Martian", and prepared to read it.

"I'm!"

This sentence at the beginning of the novel directly hit Tan Lin's head and made him dizzy, this unique language style is too much, when did the novel have such swear words.

As an associate professor at a university, the last thing he liked was people with dirty mouths, which made him feel disgusted. But at the same time, I can't help but want to look down, why is it over, what happened?

With a hint of curiosity, Tan Lin saw a series of complaints in the following time: he suddenly encountered a sandstorm, was inexplicably injured by an antenna, and was helplessly abandoned by his teammates.

The language style is very cheerful and rhythmic, very close to life. Anyone who encounters this situation may not be in a good mood, and this natural optimism is also an important support for the protagonist to survive.

It is precisely because of this language style that the novel is easy to read, even if you read a few pages today and put it aside, you will not have any impression when you pick it up tomorrow and continue reading, and you will never forget the story that happened to the protagonist and him.

Tan Lin suddenly realized that he had actually read it for more than three hours in one go, he shook his neck, and then laughed dumbly, this is indeed a good book.

At least there is no problem in the field of physics, it is difficult to find that an author pays so much attention to details, and does not casually talk about various physical principles, which makes him feel good.

According to the popular words now, the protagonist is probably a joker, a joker on Mars, who sometimes claims to have colonized Mars, and sometimes discusses the superheroes in DC Comics, and has fun in loneliness.

Every time he saw a similar episode, Professor Tan, who usually does not smile, couldn't help but smile, what he saw was a person who encouraged himself in the face of adversity.

If it's just interesting, it can't attract the attention of science fiction lovers at all, this is not a wonderful collection of Martian jokes after all, the core content is the most critical point, and the technical setting is convincing.

"When I go to work two days later, I will find Lao Lin and Xiao Wu to deduce the details in this book, and I don't believe that there are no loopholes at all. Inform them first to take a look, sharpen their knives and do not mistake the woodcutter. ”

The people Tan Lin said are all colleagues in the university, but the scope of research is different, and they each have their own specializations.

In the past few days, he plans to stay at home and read this book first, and then talk about it, a good book must be read through it and then read it carefully.

……

At the same time, Wang Yifan, a famous domestic science fiction writer, lamented on his blog: "Details create reality, and truth brings readers." Lin Han's "The Martian" involves a lot of physics, chemistry, biology, arithmetic, plumbing technology, botany and celestial navigation, all of which are described in detail and can fully withstand scrutiny!"

The last "I, Robot" was even regarded by critics as a work comparable to the world's hardest science fiction novels, and this "The Martian" is also extremely hardcore and exciting, and it is completely worthy of the laurels given to him by domestic and foreign media - the rising master of hard science fiction!
