Chapter 495: "Immortality"
The hot sales of "The Time Traveler's Wife" here, and the simultaneous sales of "Hyperion" in several major English-speaking countries over there, as a reader of Lin Han, the advantage is that there are always new books to read, and there is no need to urge him, Lin Han himself will automatically publish the book. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After returning to Yanjing, Lin Han devoted all his energy to the preparation of "This Man is from Earth", whether it is a novel or a script, it is the biggest challenge he has been writing for so long, and there are so many things involved!
If you want to convince others, you must first convince yourself, if even the author himself does not believe that the protagonist in the novel is an old antique that has survived for more than 10,000 years, then can you expect others to believe it?
What he has now is just a preliminary idea, and if he really wants to write it, I am afraid it will take a long time to make every link and every line stand up to scrutiny.
"This Man is from Earth" relies on the plot to win, so you can't take it lightly in the plot, Lin Han doesn't want this movie to become full of flaws, it's just a self-smashing signboard!
……
Lin Han drove towards the campus of Peking University, although today is not his lecture time, but it is related to the progress of his new book, so he has to go over and find those real experts to familiarize himself.
"Since the background has been changed to China, the previous name is not so good to use, this man is from the earth or as an English name, the Chinese name is in the country!"
He said to himself, one after another alternative names flashed in his head, and after several choices, he finally patted his thigh, "Since the protagonist has lived for so long, what the ancient emperors wanted is this, just call it "Immortality"!"
In addition to the same creativity as the original "This Man from Earth", the real content of the newly baked "Immortality" is almost different, leaving Lin Han with endless challenges.
Obviously, the name "Immortality" is the best name for this plot, full of local Chinese characteristics, a person who can live forever has witnessed thousands of years of splendid Chinese culture, and also witnessed the rapid development of the world!
According to Lin Han's idea, he wrote the novel first, and then changed it into a script according to the novel, so that the actors could also refer to the description of the novel when performing.
What this novel brings is a brainstorming that is enough to make everyone who sees it think, whether they believe it or not, or have doubts, it is a victory!
Not long after, after Lin Han arrived at the parking lot, he suddenly remembered that he didn't know where his office at Peking University was, and he was now in a blind state!
Lin Han patted his head fiercely, he usually doesn't need to come to Peking University to sit in class, he only needs to come once a week, he always steps on the bell to enter the classroom, and drives away after class, having an office is the same as not having one.
Now I suddenly want to use it, and it's normal to can't find it.
However, he was not in a hurry, but took out his mobile phone and called the academic affairs office to ask for help.
"Hello, this is the Academic Affairs Office of Peking University, can I help you?"
Lin Han said a little embarrassed: "Sorry to bother, I am Lin Han, a special teacher of the Chinese Department, I have never been to my office before, and now I have forgotten the location, can I help you check it?"
The faculty and staff on the other end of the phone didn't expect such a thing to happen, but after a quick search on the computer, she replied: "Hello Mr. Lin, your teaching and research department is in the northeast corner of Weiming Lake, 1-8, Building 6, Humanities Garden. ”
"Thanks, that's a great help!"
Lin Han hurriedly thanked him, he knew the location of the Humanities Garden, so it was not a difficult matter, but it was a little embarrassing, as a teacher, he had never been to his office, fortunately, he still remembered to bring the key.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the campus of Peking University looked quiet, the fallen leaves were blown by the wind, the young people riding bicycles to school on the road were galloping, and the students were chatting with their books.
The office building in front of him looks like an antique building, which complements the precipitation of the bookish atmosphere of a famous school like Peking University, after Lin Han found his teaching and research room, Lin Han's name was written on the door, and he no longer worried about making a mistake, he opened it with a key and walked in for the first time.
The teaching and research room in front of me looks almost brand new, with desks, chairs, bookcases, all-in-one computers, sofas and coffee tables, and transparent glass windows that allow sunlight to shine in, and the lighting is very good, and the whole room is bright even if the lights are not turned on!
Don't look at the antique outside of the office building, but the inside is full of modernity, Lin Han put his things away, and then sat on the chair and thought about it.
"Immortality" needs several experts and professors, but according to the current layout of the office building, it is basically a college and a place, if he wants to find a biologist, he has to go to the office building of the biology department, which cannot be found here!
Besides, although he is now a little famous, it is not certain whether these experts will buy it or not. In case those experts, like me, don't come to school until class time every week, then I can't meet them even if I go to the office building, so I have to find someone to introduce and make an appointment in advance.
Lin Han sat on the chair, he simply turned on the computer, and he began to think about what questions he wanted to communicate with those experts, this is the key!
Make a list of what you don't understand and find problematic, and then go to them to solve your doubts, and finally integrate these things into the novel and give them the finished product to review again, preferably with the thoroughness of the paper's questioning.
"I'll just write out the framework of the novel first, and I'll get someone to help later. ”
Just do it, the novel "Immortality" tells the story of a caveman who lived from ancient times to modern times, since the protagonist is Chinese, it must not be called John or David or anything, Lin Han decided to give him a special popular name, Wang Yong.
Wang Yong, a history professor at Peking University, suddenly announced his resignation after 10 years of work, and his colleagues, friends, and lovers came to practice for him, and then everyone sat in the room and chatted.
The people who couldn't find the topic happened to see a parrot's beaked chisel knife, and the topic began to expand!
The protagonist's friend, archaeologist Deng Birong, determined that the chisel knife was an antique from the late Paleolithic period, that is, at the time of the cave people on the top of the mountain in Zhoukoudian, Yanjing.
After explaining the purpose of this thing and the background of the times, everyone became curious and couldn't help urging Wang Yong!
Maybe it's too long, it's too hard for a person to keep secrets, Wang Yong said the key in the whole novel, if a person survives from the Paleolithic Age to today, what will it be like?
At first, Wang Yong's friends didn't care, and even joked that Lin Han was writing science fiction novels, and then everyone half-jokingly and half-seriously speculated whether there would be such a person.
Another friend, a biologist, believes that there is no difference between cave people and modern people in the anatomical sense, and the intelligence is the same, but modern people know more and are taller!
As for how this man who has lived for 140 centuries survives, biologists speculate that it is the perfect regeneration of human cells, relying on the perfect regeneration of cells to avoid aging.
As for the specifics, Lin Han just wrote a rough idea, and he had to ask the real biologist whether this method was feasible!
The story continues, and under the assumption that there is a person who has lived 14,000 years healthy and unaged, it seems that anything is possible.
At this time, the protagonist began to elaborate on his own experience, he once lived from the period of the cave people on the top of the mountain to the period of Hemudu and Banpo, and even witnessed the birth of the Xia Dynasty, the first slave country, the inside story of Shang Tang's destruction of Xia, Pangeng's relocation of Yin, and Wuwang's destruction of Shang.
After the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, he traveled west to the Eurasian continent, and more than 100 years later, he helped Zhang Qian to envoy to the Western Regions and open up the Silk Road, studied with Shakyamuni in India, was preached as Jesus in Jerusalem, and returned to the Central Plains when the Great Qin King Andun (Roman Emperor) sent envoys to China.
He has looked at the British Isles from the coast of France, wandered on the Eurasian continent for thousands of years, and witnessed a series of history!
After that, he followed Zheng He to the West, helped Magellan travel around the world, and in modern times, he obtained 10 degrees and had countless identities......
The setting of the story is very simple, from the very beginning of the primitive curiosity, the protagonist begins to tell the story; to the second part of the primary suspicion, friends use historical gossip to interrogate the protagonist, and begin to delve into the problems that need to be faced in the past 10,000 years of survival; the third part is the life and death doubt period, psychologists and the protagonist discuss how primitive people view life and death, and what is the situation of living alone when everyone dies.
This is followed by the fourth part of the religious skepticism period, from religious issues such as Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and God, to the protagonist's revelation that he was once Jesus, his brief study with Shakyamuni, and the explanation of various stories in religious scriptures.
The fifth part is a hedge between sensibility and reason, shifting from the previous occult religion to modern science, and the protagonist's words shake everyone's worldview, and the protagonist, who thinks that the situation has gotten out of control, simply admits that he is playing with everyone. But something unexpected happened.,A friend of the protagonist accidentally discovered that the protagonist was actually his father.,Finally believe the protagonist's words.,But he was over-surprised or frightened and had a heart attack!
Finally, there is the sublimation part of the whole text, witnessing his elderly son die in front of him, the protagonist seems to be no longer the immortal existence who has lived for 14,000 years, he is like an ordinary person, and finally leaves with his lover.
