When technology and science fiction merge, what kind of chemical effects will be born?

Representatives of the two cutting-edge fields gathered at the Future Science and Technology Conference to collide with their ideas to create a spark of inspiration, just like smart crowdfunding, which can promote the exploration and prospect of future technology.

For science fiction writers, this is the time for them to unleash their ideas, to promote the integration of scientific invention and application with science fantasy, and to make some of the things in fiction come true.

Lin Han walked out of Shanghai Hongqiao Airport alone with a small suitcase, the city is particularly noisy, the subway station is built like a maze, and people with a bad sense of direction may get lost.

Following the mobile phone navigation and changing to the subway, he finally came to the outside of the exhibition hall of the Shanghai World Expo, which is his destination, and he must first sign in to the Future Science and Technology Conference, and then check in to the hotel under the guidance of the staff.

At this time, there is a signing of science fiction writers outside the venue, and the well-known science fiction writer Wang Jinkang is constantly signing his name surrounded by readers, Wang Jinkang, who has won the Galaxy Award 15 times, is over 60 years old this year, but he has not stopped creating, and almost every year there are new works coming out.

After insisting on creating for so many years, the number of readers accumulated is naturally not ordinary, so there is a big difference in age levels at the signing meeting.

"Mr. Lin, please follow me, this is the driver of our conference, tomorrow will be at half past eight o'clock will appear on time under the hotel, our conference will officially start at nine o'clock, and the Galaxy Award ceremony will be awarded at 10 o'clock. At that time, Dragon TV and other media friends will arrive, and the winners will be interviewed, please forgive me. ”

The hostess guided Lin Han to an Audi A6 after he signed in, which seemed to be too good.

I'm just a budding new author of science fiction, but the organizers of the future science and technology conference still don't take it lightly, and it can be seen that this is a lot of money.

"Okay, thanks for the reminder. Has everyone arrived now?" Lin Han had almost no friends here, and although there were many people from the Sci-Fi Nebula Group, they were basically not on the right path.

The hostess smiled and said, "At present, most of the signs have been signed, and there are still a few left." The science fiction writers are already in the hotel, so you can get in touch with each other. ”

Lin Han nodded, he opened the car door and sat in, asking the driver to send him to the hotel of the conference. After getting the key, he was surprised to find that everyone had a separate house, and there was no need to live in a standard room with others, which was probably the most gratifying thing.

After putting the luggage away, Lin Han hung the suit in the cabinet, and he had to wear it to the award ceremony tomorrow, trying not to crumple it.

The environment of the room was generally very nice, and the curtains were open to the view outside.

No one came to disturb him, although Li Wenyuan, as a judge, was here early in the morning, he was definitely too busy to pay attention to Lin Han, and he would rather stay with the readers than talk and laugh with these authors, so he could only lie in bed and play with his mobile phone.

He first sent a WeChat message to Chen Jiaxuan, saying that he had arrived safely, and then called up the sales and evaluation content of "I, Robot" on Douban to read.

At this time, it has been half a month since the novel was launched, and the sales volume of Douban Reading has exceeded 150,000 copies, and the number of people participating in the rating below has also reached more than 4,000 people, and the final score is 8.9 points!

This rating is higher than 99% of science fiction novels, and many people choose five-star reviews, which accounts for the majority, but there are also some mischievous people who choose one-star reviews and think this bullshit doesn't make sense.

For this score, Lin Han is actually a little dissatisfied, according to his thoughts, it should be 9 points, this is a science fiction classic at home and abroad, even if his changes are inappropriate, but it should not be one star.

Many people start rating the book without even buying it, which is very unpleasant, and if you don't read it, you don't have the right to speak, so it also arouses the indignation of science fiction readers.

A good novel, but it is treated as it should be, these people don't know where it came from, and they look like new accounts but can give one-star reviews.

Depressed to close the Douban app, Lin Han hammered the pillow next to him with his hand, and then opened Amazon's website, compared with the Chinese version, although the sales volume of the English version is small, but the increase is very amazing.

Often, the sales growth in a day is about 120% or 145%, which is only a thousand or two thousand downloads a day, but the continuous increase is heartwarming.

Now the cumulative sales have successfully exceeded 10,000, as a novel that has not been promoted much at all, "i, robot" has successfully established a word-of-mouth image in the hearts of European and American science fiction readers, and more and more places have begun to talk about this novel.

Just as he was scrolling through the English comments below, he heard a banging knock on the door.

"Who?"

Lin Han was very puzzled, who would look for himself at this time, he was almost isolated in the circle of science fiction authors, and although others were envious, they were more jealous.

"Wang Yifan and Chen Chuhe, editors of "Science Fiction World", is it convenient now?"

"Convenient, how inconvenient is it. Lin Han opened the door, and then made an inviting gesture, "Please come in, let's sit down and talk." ”

This is probably what netizens look like when they meet, slightly embarrassed.

Wang Yifan and Chen Chuhe came here to see the sci-fi upstart they had excavated with their own eyes, and the two of them sat on the sofa and said with a smile: "Although I have seen your photos on the Internet, I still feel a little surprised." ”

Lin Han shrugged his shoulders and replied cheekily, "What are you surprised? I'm younger and more handsome than other writers?"

"Let's just say that. When I first watched "The Country Teacher", I thought it was written by a middle-aged man, which was a huge surprise, and I wish you could win the Galaxy Award tomorrow. Chen Chuhe came here to pull the relationship, because he strongly recommended Lin Han's relationship, and he has now occupied a dominant position in the competition for deputy editor-in-chief.

In fact, editors also have factional struggles, and Lin Han's debut novel appeared from Chen Chuhe's master and apprentice, which is considered their descendant, so these two people will come to visit Lin Han in particular.

From the emergence of "Country Teacher" to the hot listing of "I, Robot", Lin Han is like a polished jade, which is constantly blooming.

As long as he has a good relationship with Lin Han and continues to release his new works to "Science Fiction World", even if Chen Chuhe earns it, this is his performance and resources.

"This conference, all of you in the editorial department are here?" Lin Han asked curiously, he didn't know these things.

Wang Yifan looked like a college student, he was holding a copy of "I, Robot" in his hand at this moment, and then said: "The Galaxy Award is organized by our magazine, so it is regarded as an employee benefit, so everyone can come to Shanghai for a business trip." ”

"It seems that the benefits of your magazine are very good, and the employee benefits are very good. ”

Chen Chuhe was not too modest, "It's better than before, it's all thanks to your "Village Teacher" to break through the sales of our 11th issue to 1.7 million copies, and then the first chapter of "I, Robot" led the 12th issue of the magazine to sell 1.5 million copies, so that our average sales in 2016 successfully exceeded the million mark." Now in 2017, we are already a best-selling magazine, and the advertising cost has tripled, so the business is very good. It's all thanks to you. ”

"Don't kill me, that magazine is not only my own article, but also the rest of the people's content, and there are many readers of Science Fiction World, so I am just a catalyst. ”

Lin Han waved his hand again and again, he was not carried away by the victory.
