Chapter 19 Release Date

In the silence of science fiction authors and the noise of novel readers, time quietly came to the release date of "Science Fiction World", from printing to binding to national distribution, the magazine was busy in an orderly manner, and everyone was looking forward to the sales and evaluation of this issue.

While students go to school with their school bags on their backs and adults brisk to work, newsstands and bookstores in every city quietly put the latest issue of Science Fiction World in a prominent position.

China's cultural industry is developing very rapidly, reading is a trend, on the subway, on the bus, there are no longer a few people with magazines or books to read.

There are a lot of reading materials to choose from, and various types of literature have developed together, but now it seems that science fiction literature has become a shortcoming, and Chinese science fiction is still in its infancy, and the audience is only one-tenth of that of the United States.

Science fiction novels are mainly scientific conceptions through literary and artistic techniques, inspiring and motivating people in thought, so that readers can understand some realistic science and technology and development trends, and lead readers to look forward to the future and make bold innovations.

This is also a kind of scientific popularization work, in the novel "The Country Teacher" just written by Lin Han, readers will feel the content of Newton's three classical mechanics, feel the vastness of the universe and their own scarcity.

Most of the classic science fiction novels have appeared in European and American novel circles, and various themes have emerged, such as reverie about artificial intelligence, thinking about the universe and starry sky, reflections on the end of the world, and dystopian ideas, you can drive a spaceship to fight aliens, you can also imagine the destruction of the earth, whether robots will rule the world in a few hundred years, and will humans lose their ability to speak in a few hundred years?

With the progress of the current era, it seems that the world imagined by science fiction writers has finally arrived, from many years ago few people understood what science fiction is, but now more and more readers like science fiction.

Numerous science fiction magazines aren't selling well, and some of the top science fiction writers are barely among the bestsellers.

There is even a saying that people are carbon-based creatures, but people who like science fiction are made of silicon, and this generation is closely combined with silicon, and modern products and modern ideas revolve around silicon.

Most of the things we use now were invented by Westerners, and at the beginning, those people went crazy to ask the ultimate question, which led to the theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, the development of science and technology to drive industrialization, the emergence of mobile phones, the Internet, and the future of life in science fiction novels may also appear.

Many years ago, when Verne wrote about 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, From the Moon to the Earth, and Around the Moon, many of his ideas were realized, and his extraordinary imagination combined with scientific thinking was praised as a prophet of the scientific age.

Now is the best era of science fiction, young people's imagination of the future, the acceptance of science has reached an unprecedented height, and the creation of Chinese science fiction is attracting many novelists to explore and cultivate!

In such an era, the sales of each issue of "Science Fiction World" are more than 800,000 copies, and the sales of magazines such as "Science Fiction - Literature Show", "Science Fiction King", and "World Science Fiction Expo" are not small, which together support the backbone of Chinese science fiction.

Readers who have been buying Science Fiction World for a long time have been looking forward to the release of the latest issue, and on the morning of the 20th, the group bought this issue of the magazine from a nearby newsstand and read it with fascination.

Lin Han's side is a year-round version of direct booking, and the postman will send it to the logistics management office of the community, so there is no need to go outside to buy it, which is a little more convenient.

But in order to get first-hand information, Lin Han walked out of the community with a scarf on, and got close to the boss at the newsstand outside the community.

"Boss, may I ask if you have the latest issue of "Science Fiction World" here?"

The newsstand is not big, but a small sun oven in the small room is very dazzling, and all kinds of magazines are placed under the shed outside the newsstand, and the rows are very neat.

The boss sitting on the chair was looking at the magazine in his hand attentively, he didn't hear Lin Han's words at all, he was completely immersed in it, and he was not afraid that people would take a book and walk away.

Most of the magazine sellers like to read, and every issue of the magazine is the first thing they get their hands on, and then sell it to others after reading it, so the happiness is far beyond imagination.

Looking at the boss helplessly, Lin Han knocked on the wooden table with his hand and raised his voice: "Boss, do you have "Science Fiction World" for sale here?" ”

"Ah, it's on your left, look at it yourself, 8 yuan a piece, don't bother me."

This unconventional boss didn't mean to sell at all, but glared at Lin Han, full of annoyance at being disturbed.

Lin Han touched his nose and began to search seriously, at this time, a few big characters in the science fiction world came into his eyes, and the cover was probably made with a special painter, which looked very delicate and full of science fiction futurism.

The contrast between the huge battleship and the down-and-out classroom is eye-catching, with the mighty alien fleet on one side and the backward village school on the other.

This is a cover specially made for "Country Teacher", and it must have taken a lot of thought into it, and this attention made Lin Han feel very comfortable.

After flipping through two pages and finding the table of contents, Lin Han found that his "Country Teacher" occupied the largest space, seven or eight pages, and published more than 20,000 words in one go, without making any serialized issues.

When he took out his wallet to pay the bill, the boss took the 10 yuan handed over by Lin Han, and then closed the magazine in his hand, revealing a familiar cover.

"Come, find you 2 yuan, please go slowly."

Couldn't wait to turn around and sit down, the middle-aged man was about to continue reading, when Lin Han asked directly: "Boss, are you also watching "Science Fiction World"? What do you think of this issue, is it good? ”

"It's good, there are good articles in every issue, in addition to "Country Teacher", I also like "Cat on the Moon" and "Future Fantasy", you can take a good look."

"Then "Country Teacher" is good, I read Weibo before, and many people are scolding this novel." Lin Han wanted to get a real evaluation from real readers.

After asking about what he was interested in, the boss swept away his previous indifference, and he said very excitedly: "Big brother, let me tell you, this novel is amazing, I don't think I have seen such a good short story this year, and let me read it all at once." It's so well written, I'm reading it for the second time, and I was still thinking about what rural teachers have to do with science fiction, but now I want to take the textbook and look at those mechanical principles again, lest I be drawn by aliens to answer questions, wouldn't that kill everyone? ”

"Is it really that good?"

"That's, I'm not bragging. You can see for yourself.,This author is a bit awesome.,It's said that he was also shortlisted for the Galaxy Award semi-finals.,I'll go back and vote for him when I close the stall in the evening.。 ”

Hearing the boss's fierce praise, Rao is Lin Han wanted to calm down, and the corners of his slightly raised mouth showed his mood, "Thank you, I'll take it back and take a look at it slowly." ”
