As everyone expected, from this issue onwards, the proportion of newspapers sold through retail sales is increasing, and Lin Han is worthy of the high remuneration offered to him by "Reference News". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, not only did it simply increase the sales of nearly 700,000 copies, but more importantly, many people noticed that this newspaper was very different from the newspapers they usually saw, not to mention the cheapness, and it was very neutral!

Reference has always been the life of "Reference News", and its reporting angle is different from that of Global Daily or People's Daily, looking at China from the perspective of the world, looking at the world from the perspective of China, and looking at the world from the perspective of the world.

Most of its articles are quoted from foreign countries or Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and the translation is faithful to the original text, and it is not taken out of context for the pursuit of gimmicks.

I don't know if I don't see it, but I think it's really good at first glance, so the people who refer to the news editorial department find that there have been more readers who have recently booked directly from the post office or the official website for the whole year, which is the follow-up impact.

Yan Hongwen, as the editor of the financial perspective section of "Reference News", quietly came to the office of the cultural and sports grandstand section at this time, and asked Duan Xinlun who was reading the manuscript in a low voice: "Old Duan, tell me the truth, do you still have the manuscript of "Plane Country" here?" ”

Duan Xinlun took off his glasses and put them aside, he said with a smile: "It's not already spread all over the editorial department, you can get it by any person!" ”

"That's only a lot of drafts, I've already read them all. If there is anything left, I will see it by myself and will never reveal it to others, I swear! Yan Hongwen almost raised his palms and swore an oath.

The book "Flat Country" has only been serialized in the outside world, and it is very difficult for ordinary readers to see the content behind, but in the reference news editorial department, everyone is a colleague, and it is normal to circulate it among each other.

But Yan Hongwen didn't say anything after reading the content of the next few days, he simply found the editorial department of the sports stand section directly, and wanted to see the content later, he couldn't wait!

Who knew that Duan Xinlun spread out his hands and said helplessly: "Then I can't help it, Lin Han is sending next week's content over every weekend." If you want to see next week's content, you'll have to wait until this Saturday or Sunday, so bear with me! ”

"The rest of the content has not been written, you dare to open such a high price, you are really bold, I thought the full text was handed over to you." Yan Hongwen's financial perspective sector has never been so generous, and it is really hard to imagine what the level of 50,000 words is.

"What's this, the name Lin Han alone is worth the price." Duan Xinlun was on top, and he said with emotion: "Those publishing companies and publishing houses are crazy, and Lin Han's next few books have been signed before they have even been written, and even the name and content have not been determined. ”

Yan Hongwen was a little disappointed, he pouted, "It's really crazy enough." Anyway, old Duan, if you receive the following content, you must remember to notify me! ”

"Don't worry, if I receive it here, it is estimated that the entire editorial department will have to spread it."

This is not false at all, many leaders even read this book, and old acquaintances in the press and publishing industry have also found excuses to reminisce about the past, in fact, it is for Lin Han's "Plane Country"!

Although the first chapter is somewhat interesting about the essence of the flat country, more people want to see how this novel will follow.

When the first chapter of "Hyperion" was written, many people said that it was not good-looking, not exciting enough, and the plot was old-fashioned, but it became more and more exciting later.

Therefore, critics cherish feathers more at this time, and no one dares to comment on "Flat Country" easily, in case the horse stumbles and is slapped in the face, it will be discredited!

……

The next day's newspaper arrived as scheduled, but there was still no specific storyline in the content of the novel, just about the climate and houses in the flat country, as if it were true.

"Dear residents of the Three-Dimensional Country, like you, our compass also has four directions: south, east, west, and north.

It's just that because there is no sun and the rest of the celestial bodies, we can't decide the back side as we normally would. But we have our own way, and by virtue of the natural laws of the flat country, there is always an attraction to the south, and the hindrance of this southward attraction is sufficient to act as a compass in most parts of our country.

Our house has no windows because the light is the same to us both inside and outside, day and night......"

When Lin Han wrote this place, the identity of the narrator appeared, "I" was the only person in the plane country who learned the truth of space and the theory of light from the three-dimensional world, but I was ridiculed and teased by my compatriots as the craziest people in the plane country!

This plot makes readers shudder, and they can't help but think of Bruno, who supports heliocentrism but is burned to death by the church, isn't this the prototype of "me" in the novel?

Exploring uncharted territory and being treated as a madman, is this an allusion to reality or what is it to do?

Originally, "Flat Country" was an English work, and it was later translated into China, so what Lin Han remembered in his mind was the standard translation.

The content he now posts in the newspaper has been simply modified, which is more in line with the reading habits of the Chinese people, at least no one has reacted that the chapters in it look awkward.

With the gradual progress of the novel, the world of the flat country will appear in front of the reader's eyes little by little, although it is all introductory text, there are no various adventures.

At first, Lin Han also thought about adapting "Plane Country" into a form similar to "Grever's Travels", so that the residents of a three-dimensional country would break into the plane country like they would break into the country of giants!

It's a pity that he gave up this idea after thinking about it seriously, this was originally a popular science novel, and if there was too much adventure content, it would be equivalent to taking the lead.

Square and triangular houses are not allowed in flat countries. Because squares, equilateral triangles, etc., have sharper corners, if a careless tourist accidentally bumps into such a corner, it can cause serious injury!

Nowadays, the most common houses in the city are pentagonal houses, and even in the countryside, most of them are the same, and only in extremely remote and backward areas can you find square houses like archaeology.

For the inhabitants of the flat country, their length or width should not exceed 27 centimeters, and 30 centimeters is already the maximum limit.

The female inhabitants here are all straight.

The soldier and the lowest class of workers are equal triangles on both sides, that is, waist length 27 centimeters, and the third side is less than 2 centimeters isosceles triangle! They have very sharp, intimidating horns.

What interests readers the most is the class pollen of the flat country, where there are equilateral triangles, that is, the middle class, and the "I" who narrates this story is a square!

Finally revealing the true face of Lushan, readers are curious that the identity of this narrator has not been around for a day or two, but it has not appeared until Friday!

Have you ever seen a novel where the main character is a square?

If you haven't seen it before, hurry up and take a look at "Flat Country"!

Above the pentagonal shape is the aristocratic class, starting with the hexagon, and the number of sides increases in rank until they receive the glorious title of polygon.

In the end, because there were too many sides, these sides were too small, and as a result, the shape was indistinguishable from the circle, and he ended up in the circle, that is, the clergy, which was the highest rank of all classes!

"According to the natural law of our flat country, every boy will have one more side than his father, and according to the rules, each generation will rise to a higher level in development and nobility. Therefore, the son of the square is a pentagon; The son of the pentagon is the hexagon, and so on. ”

With the arrival of the weekend, the serialization of "Flat Country" was temporarily stopped, but this did not affect people's discussions, but gave them enough time to review the previous content, so that they had more feelings!

"Emma, it's cute, squares can give birth to pentagons, this is completely geometric enlightenment reading!"

"Now I believe that there really is this flat country, everything is so detailed."

"Mr. Lin, are you a science fiction novel or a popular science work, why can't you understand it, it's not very good-looking!"

"If this book is finished, it will definitely be included in the must-read for middle school students."

"Teacher Lin for a long time, Teacher Lin, now he has really become a teacher, sit back and wait for Teacher Lin to teach us a lesson!"

"As an old bookworm, I rejected this novel when I first saw it, who cares about a virtual flat country, but after reading it, I found that it was pretty good."

"Mr. Lin's novel is a clear stream, different from those bewitching sluts outside!"

"Why do I feel that this isosceles triangle to an equilateral triangle is a satire of reality? Many peasants or workers have worked hard all their lives not necessarily to get their younger generations out of the countryside, but they have worked hard for generations for this hope. ”

"It's just another classic.,The only problem is that the update is too slow.,Can you hurry up?"

"Wait! I suddenly thought of the two-way foil, the plane country should not have been hit by a high-dimensional civilization with a two-way foil, right? In "The Three-Body Problem", I remember that the entire solar system was hit by the two-way foil, from three dimensions to two dimensions, and the people in it became all kinds of geometric figures? ”

"Does it all connect, or is it just that?"

"I admire the brain hole upstairs, it's just scary to think about it!"

……

Not only are readers actively discussing this novel, but also related authors are discussing more, especially popular science writers.

Compared with science fiction writers, most of these popular science writers are part-time, and they have their own jobs, but they are either scientists or related industries.

Since the nineties of the last century, popular science novels have been slowly declining, and a large number of popular science writers have gone to the sea to make money. Writing popular science novels is useless and unprofitable, and young people and students don't read this type of book anymore, they don't think it's exciting enough, and it's useless for exams!

However, the current environment of popular science publishing is decaying under the appearance of flowers, because people gradually pay attention to the education of children, so many works in the name of popular science publishing have begun to wreak havoc in the book market.

However, most of these books are just a patchwork of knowledge and pictures, and they are full of mistakes.

Now I walk into a bookstore, there are a dazzling array of popular science books, but most of them are imported, and there are not many original popular science books, and these few books are basically inferior products!

Foreign popular science authors are very good at starting from a thing in life, touching on analogies, quoting scriptures, explaining misunderstandings from a scientific point of view, and conveying scientific knowledge and principles with scientific inquiry thinking rather than preaching.

In the writings of these people, science is no longer an obscure theory, but a scientific principle that is around everyone and in life, so it is easy to attract readers, especially children and teenagers!

Nowadays, there are too few popular science creators, the content is repetitive, the homogenization is quite serious, the knowledge is fragmented, and the systematization is lacking.

In such a bad environment, "Plane Country" was born!

Lin Han is also a member of the Science Writers Association, and even visited the astronomy station with them, and when his novel was serialized on "Reference News", the people in the Science Writers Association thought it was another science fiction novel, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

But with the gradual exposure of the content of the novel, these people were surprised to find that Lin Han had written a popular science book!

This discovery suddenly surprised the writers of the Science Writers Association, and they were worried that the popular science career was in a state of no successor, and as a result, Lin Han, the most influential science fiction writer among young people, made a small crossover, and this "Plane Country" looks quite good.

So in the QQ group of the Popular Science Writers Association, these old writers are very excited, even if they type very slowly, they also chat happily!

"Have you read "Plane Country", Lin Han is really talented, and popular science novels can be written so attractively."

"Now that our original popular science books have finally ushered in new opportunities, what do you think?"

"This should be the best popular science book in recent years, with Xiaolin's name, maybe it can sell millions of copies."

"In my lifetime, I may be able to see the day when popular science books win the championship again, which is really rare!"

"There are still a lot of things that haven't been written in the introduction of this book, Lin Han's writing layout ability is quite strong, the more exciting it is in the later stage, and the back must be very good."

"Anyway, Xiaolin is also in this group, how about just looking for him to see the content behind? It's really unaccustomed to waiting for one or two thousand words a day, and all we published in the newspapers at that time were short popular science articles. ”

"Have you finished writing @林翰小林你的 "Plane Country"?"

"That's right, I forgot that Lin Han is also a member of our association!"
