Even if Lin Han desperately wants to share this good news with others now, he must verify it carefully, so as not to make jokes, but there are countless people on the Internet waiting to see him look foreign. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Just an email doesn't prove anything, if this is an email written by someone else deliberately to deceive Lin Han, then it can't be too careful!

This is not Lin Han's conspiracy theory, it is true that something similar has happened before, this mailbox is directly developed to the outside world, and some people who know a little bit of technology can disguise their sender name, maybe Lin Han will enjoy a series of liar treatment when he goes back according to this reply.

It's not difficult for some boring people to prank and fake the "Nature" magazine, so Lin Han simply called his friend Alex in Penguin Publishing Group directly, and they are all in the British publishing industry, and they should know each other better.

The phone beeped several times before Alex slowly replied, "Hi my friend, good morning!"

"I'm sorry to call you at this time, I have something urgent and I want you to check it for me, are you free now?" Lin Han's tone was more anxious, eager to verify.

"Of course, I have time for you at any time. Tell me, what the hell is going on, I'll do my best. Alex closed the door to his office, then walked to the window and began to look out of gray London.

Lin Han took a deep breath, and he said directly: "I posted a message on Facebook that I wanted to cooperate with a science fiction magazine, and then I received a message from Nature magazine in a bunch of emails. You heard it right, it's the famous "Nature", why do they also publish science fiction works that have nothing to do with academics, and is this email real or not? I was very excited, and I was nervous, worried that it was someone else's prank. ”

Alex thought it was something, and he laughed and said, "It sounds like a very common thing, because Nature magazine has been publishing science fiction since its inception." Your science fiction novels are both popular and of high quality, and it's only natural that they invite you to Nature. ”

What seemed sparse and ordinary to Alex turned into an uproar in Lin Han's eyes, and the relationship between science and science fiction is inconsistent in different cultural backgrounds!

Science is experimental and reflects the real world, while fiction is fiction and imagination, which can not be directly related to reality, let alone science fiction, which depicts a future that does not exist.

In China, many scientists oppose science fiction and even take the lead in suppressing science fiction! In the 80s, it was tragically purged as "spiritual pollution." There are still some science fiction novels that are inexplicably not allowed to be published or published, and some anthologies have been deleted in pieces, and China's Nature Magazine is the country's core journal, but it has not published a single science fiction novel.

"You know, to me the science fiction in Nature magazine is a fantasy, I didn't know about it before, why didn't I find out sooner?"

"Dude, calm down, it's not a big deal. I'll call their magazine right away to verify it, and then I'll get back to you. Even if the email you received was a prank, it was as if I had your novel published in Nature, and we had a partnership with Nature Publishing Group. ”

Alex is an editor, but he is also a businessman, and if Lin Han's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is serialized in Nature, the influence will follow Nature to the world's elite, and at the same time, it will save a lot of publicity costs, which is good for them to release physical books later, otherwise they would not have tried so hard to promote it.

Hearing these words, Lin Han was relieved, and after hanging up the phone, he didn't wait, he opened the official website of Nature magazine, and then Google to check related things.

As a result, it turned out that the inclusion of science fiction in Nature magazine is really not a recent thing, and many years ago there was a book review of Verne's science fiction novels, and then there are extremely important reasons in the history of the establishment of Nature magazine!

Readers were hooked by short science fiction stories for pure fun, and their response was so overwhelming that editors did not expect it, and many even became die-hard fans of the columns, with some of them being included in the best science fiction collections of the year, and science fiction writers and even scientists began writing about them.

There are about three types of people who provide science fiction manuscripts to Nature: the first is full-time science fiction writers, including science fiction veterans, as well as young and middle-aged science fiction writers like Wen Qi; the second is the scientific understanding of science fiction, such as biologist Cohen and scientist Stewart; and the third group is amateur science fiction writers, who come from all walks of life, but the novels they write are of excellent quality, so they are selected.

In 2005, the European Science Fiction Society also awarded the magazine Nature the award for "Best Science Fiction Publication", which is of course only one of its many awards.

These novels can not be said to be mediocre in terms of the themes discussed and the purpose of their creation, and their reflections on the development of science and technology, imagination and speculation on the future world are conveyed to the public in an entertaining way through the influential academic medium of "Nature".

Even Nature magazine has made a simple classification of science fiction novels, these ten categories are: Future World - Dystopia, Robotics - Artificial Intelligence, Brain Science, Cloning Technology, Immortality - Vampires, Plant Protectionism, Environment - Nuclear Power Pollution, Extraterrestrial Civilization, Time Travel - Multiverse, Future World - Technology Prospects.

Extraterrestrial civilizations and time travel are traditional themes explored in science fiction works, such as Lin Han's new book, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but he was a little worried that the dark humor he wrote would conflict with the magazine's serious positioning.

But after a careful inquiry, he was relieved, because from the summary made by netizens in foreign SFF forums, it was shown that the theme and content selection of science fiction works by Nature magazine were varied and strange.

Some are humorous, some are serious, some are absurd, some are magical, and there are no taboos and constraints at all, which is very suitable for the style of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!

It's just that the science fiction novels that have been published have a common characteristic, that is, they are very short, and they are all miniature novels that are shorter than short stories.

Although the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is only 80,000 words, it is enough to be serialized on it for many issues. There hasn't been any science fiction novel that can make an exception for Nature magazine, and whether Lin Han's book can be published now depends on the other party's courage and love for his novels.

At this time, an international call from the UK came, and Alex said, "Congratulations, Lin. The editor-in-chief of Nature said he did send you an email, that he was your reader, and that he had read a lot of your previous science fiction novels. So this time, I want you to go to their side to serialize the novel, but for one thing, they have to make sure that your novel is of good quality!"

"Thank you so much, you did me a great favor. I'll send the English version of the novel over there as soon as possible, I can't wait to see it in Nature!"

Lin Han is full of momentum now, he decided to retreat for himself again, and think about the English version of the novel.

At the same time, he also needs some advice from the editors of Nature to see if his Chinese humor is authentic when translated into English, and if there is anything that needs to be changed, after all, London is the birthplace of British black humor.

Lin Han hasn't had this sense of urgency for a long time, even when he wrote "The Three-Body Problem", it was "Nature", a legendary magazine that existed in his previous life and in this life, and he actually had the opportunity to print his name on it, and he printed it for many issues in a row, which would definitely make people envious, and even make people think he was crazy!

After making up his mind, he used his mobile phone to send a text message to Chen Jiaxuan, Li Wenyuan and Tan Lin, asking them not to disturb him, and the retreat translation revision began again!

And Chen Jiaxuan, who received the text message, was almost stupid, Rao was her in the entertainment industry, but the names of "Nature" and "Science" magazines were also deafening, that was a platform that many academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences did not have the opportunity to board, Lin Han actually said that he wanted to sprint?

When she hurriedly called, she found that Lin Han's mobile phone had been turned off, so she had to wait for the time being to go back from work to ask, she had a lot of confidence in Lin Han, as long as Lin Han said it, he had never failed, this trust was almost blind in his bones!

Li Wenyuan was different, this earth-shattering news exploded so that his ears were about to be deaf, did the "Nature" magazine say that it was on the list? When he left Lin Han's house before, he was still discussing with him which science fiction magazine in the United States would cooperate with Lin Han, but less than three hours after he returned, Lin Han threw a bombshell over.

As a domestic writer, Li Wenyuan has limited familiarity with European and American science fiction circles, and he really doesn't have the courage to equate Lin Han's new book with Nature magazine!

In the email box in front of him was lying the manuscript of the only reading version of the novel sent by Lin Han, and when Li Wenyuan opened the file and saw the big characters of the title of the book on the top, he took it for granted.

Such a good science fiction novel certainly deserves any magazine in the world, and if even Lin Han's science fiction can't be on Nature, then what book can?
