Seattle in May was not hot, and when Lin Han came out of the airport, he found that there were not many passers-by in the airport. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although he placed an order with Gulfstream, the private jet had to wait another half a year to get his hands on it, and the spot aircraft needed to be properly modified.

The person in charge of the pick-up was a blonde and blue-eyed white man, he looked in his thirties, and he was holding a sign with Lin Han's Chinese name in his hand!

"You must be Mr. Lin Han, I am Charlie from the Science Fiction Hall of Fame, and I will accompany you for the next trip, you can ask me if you have any needs."

Lin Han didn't react, he replied, "Charlie, it's a pleasure to meet you, I hope the trip to Seattle will be very memorable." ”

Every time the person who accepts someone is either a white man or an aunt, there are very few people with a devilish body and an angel face, and they only exist in film and television cultural works.

When Charlie made an invitation, he said, "Mr. Lin, should we go to the museum or go to the hotel to rest first?" ”

"Go straight to the museum, I'd like to visit it."

When he was on the plane, Lin Han had already rested for a long time, and now it is a very good choice to go directly to the science fiction museum.

Science fiction is a kind of culture, but also a culture with American characteristics, in the past two or three decades, almost all of the classic science fiction that people talk about came from the United States.

Their understanding and obsession with this culture is simply difficult to impress foreigners!

The Science Fiction Museum was invested in by the famous Microsoft founder Paul Allen, who was completely overshadowed by Bill Gates' glow, but he was an out-and-out science fiction enthusiast with a great obsession with astronomical science and aliens.

Allen said that science fantasy is a reflection of human hopes, dreams, fears, and he hopes that the newly established museum will help promote interest in exploring other civilizations.

The car was speeding on the wide avenue, Lin Han looked at the flashing scenery around him with interest, and he asked curiously, "What is the name of that landmark building?" Looks quite interesting. ”

Charlie said as he drove it: "That's the famous space needle, which is the most famous building in Seattle." Our museum is right next to the Space Needle! ”

Lin Han, who has never been to Seattle, doesn't know much about space needles, but he looks pretty good from the outside, "There are some things in science fiction museums, I actually missed such a classic museum." ”

This should be a holy place in the minds of science fiction fans, Lin Han felt that he was vain to call himself a science fiction fan, and he didn't even know it all these years.

"The museum is actually not very large, especially compared to the Met and the British Museum, which are mainly divided into four pavilions: The History of Science Fiction, Interstellar Journey, Future Worlds and Aliens, with a total of more than 1,000 art, film and literary originals."

Charlie is quite proud, "These collections are not only the collections that Mr. Allen has donated to the museum for many years, but also the community has donated to us. Among the more famous ones are the spaceships in the Spielberg movie "ET", Aliens and Predators, etc.! ”

For Lin Han, this is a spiritual pilgrimage.

……

At the entrance is a huge big-screen theater where you can play movies, listen to music, dance, or just do nothing.

Under the leadership of Charlie, Lin Han received a tag from the staff, and at the same time received a large number of curious eyes!

The staff here all know that Lin Han is an inductee for this year's Science Fiction Hall of Fame, and after receiving so many old people and old faces, a young yellow man suddenly appeared, and he still felt in a trance.

"Do they Asians really write novels?"

Although Lin Han has long proved himself with his works, the doubts and contempt have not decreased.

They approved of Lin Han's novels and movies, but they didn't like Lin Han very much!

The light carves out a territory in the darkness, lighting up science fiction masters, Arthur C. Clarke, Philip K. Dick......

This Wall of Fame showcases all of the inductees, and you can see the profile of any of them here.

The transparent pipes are the creations of these masters, and here Lin Han saw the suitcase from the 1990 film version of "Total Recall", the manuscript of Jack Vance's masterpiece "Face", the hand-painted fifth of Ursula Le Quin's "Wizard of Earthsea", and all kinds of typewriters, etc.!

Lin Han touched it lightly through the glass, he is a pure latecomer here, these science fiction masters have used their brilliant imagination to weave the dreams of countless people.

"Almost all the exhibits in our museum are originals, a small number of fixed exhibits are donated, and some are borrowed from private collectors, and these exhibits are constantly changing, like a river that never repeats."

After hearing this voice, Lin Han suddenly raised his head, and an old man with a white beard and hair was standing aside in a suit and on crutches.

"I'm Brian, the curator here, and I'm so excited to see such a young and energetic newcomer join the ranks of the Science Fiction Hall of Fame!"

Lin Han stretched out his hand to shake Brian's hand, and he said, "It's my honor, to stand with so many science fiction masters, in fact, I'm under a lot of pressure. ”

The wrinkles on Brian's face crisscrossed the country, "Now let me take you on a tour of our museum, where there are excellent works donated and rented by science fiction enthusiasts from all over the world." ”

Charlie consciously stood behind Brian, and Lin Han looked at him like a curious baby.

"We have a rare first print of the novel in our museum, and we also value the new paperback. We want people to know that science fiction is alive and alive, and that you can walk out of the gallery and go to the bookstore and buy the same books as we have on display. ”

With Brian's words, Lin Han's eyes were firmly attracted by the series of books printed with his name, and he didn't know when his novels had already been regarded as exhibits.

In addition to all kinds of classic science fiction novels, many other computer-processed images are surprising, such as the spaceship departing from the spaceport, the starlit deep universe, and the outer space scene through the porthole of the model......

In the center of the hall hangs a globe-shaped projection screen developed by the National Oceanic and Meteorological Administration, where science fiction novels are often screened to welcome guests, and now the screen is playing Lin Han's first real movie, "Immortality"!

Lin Han also saw the works of many acquaintances here, such as the Mars rover used by the protagonist to communicate with the Earth in the "Martian" movie, and the dinosaur model and operation panel in "Jurassic Park......

Each exhibit has a great origin, and each one contains the progress of science fiction culture, and Lin Han is fascinated by it!
