There is no "wall" in this world, and domestic netizens can basically browse to other websites casually, whether it is Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Tumblr and the like. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lin Han easily found the official website of the Mirror News, he checked the hot voting that was going on here, and found that the first place was "Dwarf Jump", these simple English words were actually novels, which also made Lin Han quite admired.

"It's almost time to participate, and I don't know if there are so many people who will vote. ”

As he spoke, he typed quickly, translating the shortest science fiction novel he had written into English and publishing it as if it were a play. It doesn't matter if you can win the award or not, anyway, the works that pass the mood will let foreigners also see the creativity of the Chinese.

After writing this, he found that more than 180,000 people had participated in the vote, while his science fiction vote was pitifully zero, and it was estimated that there was no hope of breaking through.

"The reward is quite rich, you can publish an article in the Mirror and there is also a prize of 100,000 pounds. ”

This competition is just a fun activity, not to compare how exciting, but to keep the novel as short as possible, it can be said that you can win 100,000 pounds for writing a few words, which is a thousand words!

Lin Han dragged down and carefully checked the rest of the messages, many people were imaginative, and the novels they wrote were very novel.

The Mirror is one of the most influential newspapers in the UK, it is a national daily popular newspaper, and the information published is generally considered to be unreliable and authoritative, and it is about the same level as the Sun.

But this kind of newspaper has the largest circulation in the United Kingdom, and each issue of the Mirror basically has a circulation of more than a million copies, and in the event of explosive news, it can rush to three million copies.

After reading it all the way, Lin Han really found a lot of interesting miniature novels, "God, the queen is pregnant, who did it?" This novel does not have many words, but it contains religion, royalty, mystery and sex, and the content is very eye-catching, and has received more than 10,000 likes.

Another novel, "Wake up, with your own body lying next to you", is also very charming, Lin Han finds it both terrifying and particularly absurd, creepy and suspenseful.

There is also a film critic who directly posted his own film review and began to complain, complaining about the newly released movie "Cliff's 13 Victims", "I am the 14th!"

Just a few words made Lin Han lean back with laughter, this film critic is really humorous, so satirical about the poor quality of the film, so that everyone who sees it can't help laughing, and even some people are interested and want to go to see that bad movie.

Since there is no limit to the type of novel, all kinds of content are drilled out, and there are many similar cold jokes, all of which make Lin Han want to throw the link to his friends, and everyone will have fun together.

Suddenly, Lin Han found that one of the most influential novels in his memory had not been written, and that novel was translated into Chinese as "God Dying" and English as "god-is-dying", the same three words.

"Isn't it true that this novel doesn't even appear?"

Lin Han inquired about it himself, and then he used Google search to confirm his thoughts, this three-word novel really does not exist in the world.

If you want to say the shortest novel, it must be it, although it is not a science fiction genre, but it does not prevent Lin Han from knowing this big name.

The novel of the last earthlings on earth is very short, only 25 words, but this god is dying only 3 words, it can be said that there is no shortest, only shorter!

God is God, God is the beginning of all things in the universe, and according to the Bible and Christianity and other doctrines, God is immortal. But in this novel, it says that God is dying, which is a voice in the present continuous tense, not that God is dead, but that he is gradually moving towards death.

The original author didn't know what he wanted to say, but the critics kept analyzing, and ordinary people can imagine casually, and it was this blank description that made it full of charm.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Han stepped on the deadline again and sent "God Dying", this is really a deadline, if it is a minute late, he will not be able to participate.

Because they were contested at the last moment, Lin Han's two mini-novels did not have much popularity, unlike the rest of the novels that took half a month to slowly ferment, and it was up to fate whether they won the award or not.

……

The next day, when Lin Han found that the number of uncles and aunts exercising outside the community was decreasing, he was shocked to realize that the Spring Festival was really coming.

Yanjing City seems to be more than half empty, the second ring road is not blocked at all, the shopping mall is relatively empty, and some areas even have the feeling of becoming a ghost town, and there are no lights in large areas and office areas.

In this happy day for the family, Lin Han only turned into a code word maniac, desperately writing the Chinese version of "The Martian", hundreds of thousands of words of the novel is not so easy, and the style of writing is completely different from before.

Different from the seriousness of science fiction, "The Martian" is more like a joyful one-person article, the lonely protagonist tells the setting of desperate survival in a self-narrated way, there is no emotional entanglement on the space journey, there is no ethical conflict or the internal contradictions of bureaucracy, and it is purely a scientific way to present the power of science.

Even in the novel, there is no villain, no one who prevents the protagonist from surviving and returning to Earth, except for the natural environment of Mars.

This is simply impossible to do in most novels, and the description of villains is usually a driving force for the plot and the only way to set off the protagonist, and it is simply unimaginable that a novel without villains is unimaginable.

In addition to the rigorous science, what attracts Lin Han the most in the novel is the optimism in a desperate situation, the protagonist is trapped on Mars, he does not despair, but keeps making jokes, sometimes making fun of his colleagues' bad musical taste, sometimes laughing at the tastelessness of potatoes.

The protagonist's optimism stems from the fact that he knows that pessimism has no effect, and optimism is almost always a by-product of focused thinking. Hard science fiction is fascinating because they enshrine realism as the supreme law, and there are no settings like aliens tens of billions of light-years away.

The cutting-edge technology in "The Martian" is almost all based on existing technology design ideas, and does not deliberately create a sense of the future, whether it is a spaceship module, a spacesuit, a Mars rover or a scientific research base, etc., it is a high-tech that can be achieved on tiptoe.

Even if the spaceship Jingwei, which made great contributions to the rescue plan, flew close to the earth to gain acceleration, it was a technology that was within reach in reality.

Empowering science and technology with immediate work is the unshakable first mission.

Without anyone to disturb him, Lin Han wrote 60,000 words in the next three days, which was amazingly efficient.
