Chapter 67: It's hard to get started

The sales of physical books exceeded 30,000 copies a day, which is definitely a huge recovery for "I, Robot", and the previous hot sales situation basically slowed down in the first two weeks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The back is to rely on word-of-mouth to slowly increase sales, thousands of rises, and use time to pile up sales.

At present, the total sales of the physical version of "I, Robot" have approached 420,000 copies, and the total sales of the online electronic version have also reached 280,000 copies, getting closer and closer to the two-star author.

The power of the Galaxy Award is naturally extraordinary for science fiction readers, which represents authoritative recognition, and some people were still saying that "The Country Teacher" is not pure science fiction, but now they can only be slapped in the face.

A novel that is even recognized by the Galaxy Award, you say it's not science fiction, isn't that nonsense!

Originally, some science fiction readers who were not interested in the collection of short stories, in the case of a book shortage, after seeing the news that Lin Han won the Galaxy Award, they couldn't resist the praise and curiosity, and went over to take a look.

An award brings not only honor and fame, but also tangible things like sales and bonuses, so it is normal for sales to increase.

The heating in the house quickly evaporated the water on the floor, and Chen Jiaxuan said to Lin Han: "Since you just came back, let's have a meal together in the evening, and we should celebrate your success." ”

"Why do you have to treat me, this time the bonus has been issued, at least I can buy a toilet in Yanjing." Lin Han said with a smile, "Don't be polite to me, I'll be generous like this once, and say whatever you want to eat." ”

"Okay, let's go to Yuelu Mountain House, I heard that it is very good, and the environment is very good, it is more suitable for you. ”

Lin Han hadn't heard of this place, and he didn't pay much attention to it, just quipped: "This name sounds a bit like Yuelu Academy, the oldest university in China. Anyway, you decide, don't save me money. ”

Chen Jiaxuan put on her slippers, she looked at the time of her mobile phone, and said, "You can rest for a while, it's still early, we all came here at seven o'clock, and there are many branches in Yanjing City." ”

When you go out to eat, you must put on makeup and change clothes or something, Lin Han said that he understood, it was only less than three o'clock in the afternoon, and there was enough time.

He sent Chen Jiaxuan out of the door and watched her enter his room before turning around and closing the door.

Since you have enough time, let's just start writing the novel, the outline and outline are already listed, and all you need to do now is to make a timeline and a character diagram.

Most of the "Martian" is a one-man show of the male protagonist, and the rest of the characters are basically very few, and the novel uses a first-person writing technique, which can show more real and accurate inner activities in front of the reader.

"Log: sol6

I'm screwed! That's the conclusion I've thought about it for a while, it's over.

These six days, which were supposed to be the beginning of the most glorious two months of my life, turned out to be the prelude to a nightmare.

I don't know who's going to look at this stuff. I guess one day, people will find out, maybe 100 years from now.

Seriously, record it...... sol6, I'm not dead. The rest of my teammates must have thought I was dead, and of course they couldn't be blamed.

There's going to be a state funeral in a while, and my Wikipedia page says that Li Yunfan is the only human to have died on Mars so far. ”

The novel begins with the protagonist Li Yunfan flashback to the video recorder, who is a crew member of the third batch of missions in the Yingfu Project.

The so-called glow is the name of Mars in ancient times, and the glow puzzle plan is that humans will arrive on Mars, send people to another planet for the first time, expand the human horizon forever, and so on.

The first and second phases of Project Glowing were successfully completed, and the crew landed in different parts of Mars before returning to Earth to become venerable astronauts.

"I guess by the time this recorder is discovered, the rest of my teammates will already be dead of old age. Provided, of course, that they can return to Earth safely. Guys, if you live to see this recorder, listen: it's not your fault, you're doing what you should have done. I would have made the same decision. I don't blame you, I'm glad you survived. ”

The first few hundred words of "The Martian" outline a general background, while also portraying an optimistic and atmospheric protagonist, and at the same time explaining to the reader why he is the only one who stays on Mars and waits for death.

All of the Glowing Mission missions were sent to Mars via the Jingwei spacecraft, and because of the sheer size and cost of the machine, the Chinese space agency built only one. Each launch must consume a lot of chemical fuel to be able to send the spacecraft to Mars to the knees.

In the following content, it was Lin Han's turn to start filling in some of the information he had queried, such as the Jingwei was driven by an ion engine that projected argon atoms backwards at ultra-high speed, so as to obtain a small acceleration of the spacecraft as a whole, and only needed to consume less nuclear reaction room to provide continuous acceleration along the way.

Lin Han writes very carefully, stopping from time to time to check with the information, trying to make the sentences simple and easy to understand, so as not to cause too much reading difficulty to the reader.

In addition, he also introduced the details of the Mars landing vehicle (MDV), which is closely related to the subsequent plot, and it will take 3 years from the beginning to the end of the Mars mission.

The Mars Liftoff Vehicle (MV) uses a series of ingenious designs to chemically react with the Martian atmosphere, and it is not written that one kilogram of hydrogen to Mars can produce 13 kilograms of fuel, but this will take a long time.

The upper limit of the surface mission was designed to handle a sandstorm with winds of 150 miles per hour, but Li Yunfan and others encountered a giant sandstorm of 175 miles per hour.

When they left the perching module and tried to walk to the Martian liftoff vehicle, the communicator, which was blown down by the strong wind, fell into the antenna array, and a long, thin antenna passed directly through Li Yunfan's spacesuit, and carried him to a distance and fell.

Luckily, the antenna only grabbed his waist muscles and didn't stab them, and the holes in the spacesuit began to let the oxygen slowly drain out.

The blood gushing out of the wound quickly pooled in the damaged part of the spacesuit, and the water quickly evaporated under the strong air currents and low pressure, leaving a slimy residue. As more and more blood flowed, the remnants gradually increased, and finally the seal on the broken area was slowly strengthened, reducing the oxygen leakage from the spacesuit to an acceptable level.

When he wrote this paragraph, Lin Han stopped, just the first 3,000 words made him brainless, and the brisk and witty style of writing coupled with the protagonist's complaints from time to time made those boring science parts interesting.

When night falls, he keeps these manuscripts very preciously, and at the same time uploads them to the cloud disk to prevent loss.

At this time, Chen Jiaxuan looked very happy, she was carrying her bag, smiling like a flower, and under the light of the corridor, Lin Han shook her head, and a surprised look appeared.

"Let's go, we can go. By the way, I'm very reluctant to talk about these things when I'm off work like this. ”
