(The new week is about to arrive, and the author is eager for everyone's recommendation votes, so let the tickets smash to your heart's content!)

The circle is sometimes so small, and a novel with a good reputation is easily accepted by otaku geeks, who are even willing to help promote the work, without asking for anything in return, only caring that their favorite works are liked by more people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

What is it like to create a best-selling book with your own hands?

These old bookworms may say that it is cool, they have rescued countless authors who are on the verge of despair, selected a series of works from the sea of books, and then touched the top of Amazon's sales charts with their own hands.

Jesse didn't just post on sffworld, he also shared the news with the international students in China, although the number of international students is not large, but there are many people who like science fiction novels and science fiction movies.

These readers, who were originally troubled by not understanding Chinese science fiction, switched to the English version, and the connection between these people was inextricably linked, quietly allowing "i, robot" to circulate.

Because the price is not high, Lin Han has not been paying attention to the sales of Amazon, and he is slowly searching for what he wants after getting a card for the National Library.

Start searching for what you need on your laptop, then lock down the names of the books, and finally use the library's system to find the books and get them back.

The English name of the book "The Martian" is "The-Martian", which literally means Martian, or the person who stays on Mars, and the name Martian is more well-known to Chinese people.

There is a lot of expertise in this book, such as why the protagonist's spacesuit was punctured in the first place, why he survived Mars, and even how to use the aircraft's propulsion device and hydrazine to develop a water supply system to collect as much water as possible for his own survival and potato cultivation, these are all things that Lin Han has to solve.

If the loophole is too big, it can't be justified at all, and it is a fatal flaw for a novel that advertises hard science fiction.

In fact, in the novel, the biggest bug appears in the big storm at the beginning of the article, which is the cause of all the stories of "The Martian", and it is also the most unscientific place.

Mars' atmosphere is only 1% dense and the atmospheric pressure is much smaller than that of Earth, so it is impossible to produce the violent storm described in the novel, which can knock down all aircraft.

But in reality, although there are often sandstorms on Mars, the wind is only equivalent to the level of a breeze on Earth, which at most obscures the line of sight, and it can't blow buildings or machinery at all, and it's okay to fly kites.

Such a huge problem was in front of Lin Han, so he couldn't do anything to modify it. If for the sake of rigor, he should abandon this premise and find a new reason for the protagonist to stay on Mars, but this is undoubtedly difficult.

If this setting is kept, then it is to abandon the perfection of the novel, and use it to enhance the drama and conflict of the story, after all, there is a similar plot later, and the wind howls and destroys the living pod.

Maybe the classics also have flaws, and some of the flaws will also be classics for a long time, such as Venus with a broken arm that doesn't need people to complete her arm, Lin Han plans to write two beginnings, and then write it out to see which one has a better effect.

While thinking and enriching, Lin Han went out for a meal at noon and then continued to return to the library to struggle, compared with others, he had taken a shortcut, and he had to treat these works with a more professional attitude.

Recording useful information on the computer document according to classification tags, he typed while flipping through the book, and occasionally searched for relevant information for an idea many times in a row, and his work attitude was comparable to that of a specialized researcher.

If you want to write hard sci-fi, you can start from these places, soft sci-fi can ignore these things, but hard sci-fi can't do that.

In fact, as a person who has worked for many years, it is still difficult for Lin Han to understand these projects, and he is already full of mud at this time, and it is almost difficult to think.

Lin Han left before the library closed, he needed to relax his mind, he had absorbed too much knowledge at one time, and he had to digest it before he could do the next thing.

Only when you are well prepared can you write like God's help.

When he got home, he was not in the mood to cook at all, he turned on the video game console directly, and began to play shooting games on the TV, the sound of thumping bullets was endless, and Lin Han didn't even hear the knock on the door.

"Lin Han, are you at home?"

Chen Jiaxuan's voice rang out from outside the door, she could hear the sound of games in the room, but no one came to open the door for her.

"Lin Han!"

As a last resort, she had to use her lion roar skill, and the raised volume was accurately transmitted into the room, and Lin Han, who was having a good time, turned his head to look at the closed door suspiciously, and then paused the game.

He opened the door and found that Chen Jiaxuan, who was wearing a sweater, was looking at him with an angry face, so he asked very innocently, "Sister Xuan is looking for me?"

There was no heating in the corridor, Chen Jiaxuan shouted outside the door for almost two minutes, her feet in slippers were a little frozen at this time, so she quickly walked to the heater in Lin Han's living room and said, "I heard the voice in your room, so I just happened to have something serious to tell you." Oh, this is your invitation, and I will go to Shanghai the day after tomorrow. ”

Lin Han took the thing handed by Chen Jiaxuan, and when he opened it, it was actually an invitation to the "2017 Future Science and Technology Conference", which seemed to be a bit high-end.

"I'll go, this thing is for me?"

"Of course it's for you, I received it two days ago, but I didn't open the letter. This future science and technology conference mainly invites thousands of representatives in the field of science and technology, science fiction and science fiction enthusiasts to participate. I asked the organizers, and there were a lot of scientists and science fiction writers who would attend. Of course, the most important thing is that this is one with the Galaxy Award Ceremony, which is a project of the Future Science and Technology Conference. ”

Lin Han looked at the small print under the invitation letter in surprise, and found that the organizers of the invitation were "Science Fiction World" magazine, the China Science Fiction Authors Association, and the Start-up Future and National Innovation Base.

He pursed his lips and quipped: "The Galaxy Award is finally willing to be awarded, I thought they were going to skip the ticket!"

The award that he had been waiting for for so long was finally about to be awarded, and Lin Han said that he had to participate in everything, which might be the time for him to receive the award on the spot.

"It's not enough to skip tickets, how to say that this is the only science fiction award in the mainland, and you are very likely to win. So start booking your flight online now, have you done your outfit, and you can't wear a T-shirt to the stage to receive the award. Chen Jiaxuan, as a veteran in the entertainment industry, glanced at Lin Han with great disdain.

Lin Han touched his chin, and he said to Chen Jiaxuan: "I'd better ask the organizer what kind of clothes he wears first, in case everyone else is dressed casually, and I am formal alone, isn't it embarrassing." ”

"I've asked you, it's right to wear a casual suit, you may be the best author of science fiction among directors, and you are also the best director among science fiction authors. ”

"Maybe I'm still the most handsome science fiction writer."
