"Mr. Lin, the positioning of our magazine is aimed at the general public, maybe the science fiction poetry is too high-end, and the knowledge of physics, astronomy, and chemistry contained in it is beyond the scope of people's knowledge. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoLet's focus on modern poems, such as your "Seeing and Not Seeing" and "When You're Old". ”

Matcha melon seeds feel that they are really not suitable to be writers, and they can't keep up with the brain circuits of the person on the other side of the computer, will there be a market for science fiction poetry? Will people accept them?

"Reader" magazine is not a base for others to experiment, there are strict requirements for manuscript selection, even if Lin Han is now famous, but he still has to accept review and revision, which is responsible for readers.

The product of an inspiration firmly attracted Lin Han's attention, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt, so why should he try it, "Otherwise, you will see the quality after I write it?"

"Well, well, but I said earlier, I probably can't really pass your so-called science fiction poetry. "Matcha melon seeds had to make a regression, first take a preventive shot, and then veto it directly.

I have to say that sometimes Lin Han is such a brainless person, he began to think seriously after getting the message from the editor here, even if he can't publish it on "Reader", he can also post Weibo himself.

He's not one of those newcomers who hasn't paid attention right now, so he doesn't have any worries at all.

Looking at the soon-to-be-finished "Three-Body Problem 2: Dark Forest", Lin Han created a new document next to it, and then entered a new title: "On Mars"

I'm not lonely on Mars,

Because there are memories on Earth.

I'm not lonely on Mars,

Because of the red dust storm outside the porthole,

and synthetic night rain.

I'm not lonely on Mars,

Because there is poetry and wine to drink ceiling lamps.

I'm not lonely on Mars,

Because there are the tombstones and remains of their teammates.

This "On Mars" is from "Red Mars", one of the "Mars Trilogy" of American science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson, and the other two are "Green Mars" and "Blue Mars", which is one of the more famous science fiction novels about Mars.

It tells the story of mankind's ambitious space migration program, sending an expedition of up to 100 people to land on Mars, hoping to transform this vast, desolate and lonely planet into a vibrant second home for mankind.

The technology of the future is already advanced enough, scientists have set up super-large mirrors in Martian orbit to refract light onto the surface of Mars, and the black dust on the polar crown can absorb heat energy and dissolve frost. At the same time, it also penetrates deep into the ultra-deep patio of the Martian crust, which can release unimaginable heat energy.

However, against such a spectacular backdrop, a rebellion suddenly came, and in order to restore the original appearance of Mars, he did not hesitate to use force against his compatriots. There are a lot of people's hearts, intrigues and struggles, and this is not only a story of culture, but also a story of space.

Such a pure hard science fiction novel, in Lin Han's original opinion, was not very well translated, and many times he couldn't read it at all, and what impressed him the most was this little poem.

Although it is said throughout that I am not lonely, it reveals a strong loneliness and loneliness, the vast and boundless Mars is only accompanied by the memory of the earth, and the red sandstorm that blew outside the window hundreds of millions of years ago, and his companions died one by one in the process of developing Mars, for the sake of ideals and the future.

To be honest, this is not the best science fiction poetry, but it is more appropriate for Lin Han to come up with at the moment.

Copying the poem into QQ, he took a deep breath and hit the enter key to send it to Matcha Melon Seeds, wanting to see what the editor thought.

After the matcha melon seeds who were reviewing saw the message box jumping in the lower right corner, they couldn't help but click to check it, and then saw the message sent by Lin Han.

It was only a few minutes before he actually finished writing?

Matcha melon seeds were a little surprised, whether this was prepared in advance or just came up with it, if it was written immediately, it was probably really talented.

As an editor who reviews poetry, Matcha Melon Seeds has seen too many manuscripts, and ordinary poems that can't get into her eyes will be brushed down directly, and at the same time, she writes that she will not pass the review comments, and only a few can get the evaluation of the revised acceptance.

The first thing that came into her sight was the word Mars, since it was an invitation to Lin Han, she also knew Lin Han very well, and after reading Lin Han's "The Martian", she subconsciously connected this poem with the novel.

However, when she read this poem carefully, she knew that there was no relationship between the two, the style of "The Martian" is a hard science fiction with joy and comics, and this little poem reveals the desolate state of mind of the protagonist.

When this man is free on Mars, he has no one to accompany him, only to take the imagery of memories, red sandstorms, night rain, spirits, and the tombstones of his teammates as friends.

Each image does not seem to respond to the protagonist, and the repeated "I am not lonely on Mars" over and over again is like the words of a man sitting alone drinking at the window during repeated self-hypnosis.

For example, when we are afraid, we always say that I am not afraid, I am not afraid, but in fact, we are terribly scared in our hearts.

It's actually very lonely on Mars.

Matcha melon seeds rubbed her face, she thought that the so-called science fiction poems sent by Lin Han in a hurry were of inferior quality, but she didn't expect it to be written quite well, which made people feel a little sad, and wanted to know the story behind this poem.

What happened on Mars, why the protagonist was left alone, and why his teammates all died on Earth. No poem can escape the background of the times and the intention of writing, and there should be a tragic story of space development behind this poem.

Lin Han looked at the "The other party is typing ......" displayed on the chat box, and he couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart, he hadn't looked so nervous for a long time.

"I took a look at it, and it was indeed well written, is there any unique story behind this poem?"

Seeing this evaluation, Lin Han breathed a long sigh of relief, and he typed and said: "It's a science fiction novel about Mars, not "The Martian", the style is quite different, and I don't plan to write it yet." ”

"I gave this poem to our poetry director, and if he agreed, it could be published in a magazine, and it seems that science fiction poetry is indeed viable, and I hope that you can start and carry it forward, and I may be able to leave a name in history when the time comes. ”

A whole new genre is quietly born on the Internet, and no one knows how far this will go. (To be continued.) )
