The ups and downs outside did not affect Lin Han's determination, since the name of the new book had been announced, he did not think about changing the book. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he first saw that The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was serialized in Science Fiction World magazine, it was around 2004, and he was immediately fascinated by the incredible storyline and British humor that flickered between the lines.

And a year or two later, the movie of the same name of this novel was also officially released, and you can watch the strange cosmic adventure depicted in the book be presented on the computer with your eyes, and this excitement is something that many people have never experienced!

It's just that this movie is a mixed bag, those who like it like it very much, and those who don't like it especially hate it, it is one of the most well-known anti-genre films in film history, and it is not very different from the movies we usually see.

The famous film magazine "Empire" evaluated this movie as the most serious and absurd global disaster, and the whole movie was almost a mess, but the word-of-mouth and box office were really not low.

Those who are serious, serious, and have taken over advanced sex education probably won't like this movie. The director of the movie is a madman, and he made this kind of film with no theme, no suspense, no storyline, no acting skills, and no effect.

The same absurdity, the same fun.

However, the movie is obviously more intuitive than the novel, and you can feel a considerable part of the content in two hours, and this movie is still very popular on the Internet after ten years, probably a classic.

Every movie adapted from a novel will be troubled by fans of the original book, which is nothing more than that the film has lost the essence of the original book, lost too many things, or changed the characters.

But if a novel with more than 100,000 or 200,000 words wants to be shown in two hours, appropriate deletion is very necessary, Lin Han doesn't think there is anything wrong with this, if all the elements are retained, then the movie is definitely a bloated monster!

To get back to the point, Lin Han has already begun to prepare for a drastic revision of this novel in his mind, not only the background of the characters, even the language style and humorous anecdotes, but also the corresponding science fiction part involved.

Even if it's just a soft science fiction novel, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" also has these contents, which are all products of the seventies and eighties of the last century, and some of the whimsical ideas in the novel have been realized, and some of them have not kept up with the trend of the times and need to be replaced.

These are the simplest things, and the language style is very difficult, and the most attractive thing about this novel is its witty and unique British humor, the story is very weak, but the fun and irony index reaches the highest.

Its interesting lies in the language, narrative structure, and even the humorous way are very imaginative, some people say that the whimsical jokes are the biggest selling point of this book, and the author Douglas is different from other science fiction authors, he directly tells you a truth, don't tell why, write science fiction stories with a big grin!

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a reference to one of the books of the same name in the novel, a guide for travelers in the galaxy, and is the best and most successful book ever written by Interstellar Books.

The book is all-encompassing, explaining the various doubts encountered during interstellar travel and giving advice and help, and the cover of the book also has a very weighty slogan: "Don't panic!"

In the original novel, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" has a lot of shining points, and the author uses humorous words and simple and vivid metaphors to make it the treasure that readers want to have the most.

After reviewing the content of the novel in his mind, Lin Han began to devote himself to writing, British humor was changed to Chinese humor, the local jokes in China are not bad, and they are closer to people's lives, whether it is life language or Internet jokes, it is very suitable for this novel.

"At the end of the western spiral arm of the Milky Way, in the unindicated silent void, hangs a small, unnoticed yellow sun. About 98 million miles from it, in orbit, is a completely insignificant blue-green asteroid. The life forms on this planet evolved from apes are so primitive that they think that the light brain is a very remarkable idea. ”

The beginning of this paragraph set the tone of the whole book, and Lin Han slightly modified one of the words, because the original text said that the electronic watch was a great idea, which was speculation in the seventies and eighties of the last century, and now it needs to be updated.

This unique writing technique is very tasteful, Lin Han does not intend to correct this, and even imitated a few similar paragraphs by himself to find a feeling for himself, so that he can better grasp the context of the text.

For example, he once rewrote the sentence "The winter solstice of Chengdu people eating mutton coincides with the end of the world of the Mayans" into a text in the style of a novel called "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".

Here's how: Cultural differences are very common in the Milky Way. For example, on the third planet of a star at the end of the third spiral arm, an ancient people of the Western Hemisphere believed that December 21 would be the end of the planet according to their calendar, but for a certain branch of the peoples at the eastern end of the Eastern Hemisphere continent living in the Southwestern Basin, this day was more like the end of some kind of four-legged walking mammal with two horns on its head on this planet, according to the general custom of the branch of the ancient calendar of this people!

Lin Han wrote several similar words in a row before he found his senses, and began to devote himself to writing non-stop.

"The story is about a book called The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which is not an Earth book, it has never been published on Earth, and no earthlings have seen or heard of it until that terrible catastrophe.

However, this is definitely an extraordinary book.

In fact, it's probably the most extraordinary book ever published by the great publishers of Ursa Minor. In many of the more open civilizations on the eastern edge of the galaxy, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has replaced the great Encyclopedia of the Galaxy as the standard for all knowledge and intelligence.

Despite the fact that it contains a lot of false or at least inaccurate information, it surpasses the more archaic and dull book in two important ways.

First, it's slightly cheaper, and second, it says "Don't panic" in large, friendly font on its cover.

The beginning of this story has to do with a house. ”

After writing the introduction of the novel, Lin Han breathed a sigh of relief, everything is difficult at the beginning, and now he starts slowly, when others celebrate the Spring Festival, he buries himself in writing, which seems to be faster.

In winter, the air quality in Yanjing City is not good, the haze is so serious that Lin Han can't even open the window to breathe, and when he looks out through the glass window, it seems that there is a natural curtain, gray.

According to Lin Han's idea, the protagonist originally called Arthur Dent will be transformed from his British background to a Chinese background, although the first chapter will destroy the earth, but this background still needs to be modified, so directly let the protagonist be called Dent, who let the surname Deng in the hundred family names.

The story begins in an ordinary Chinese town, where Dent is an ordinary Chinese man who comes to demolish his house to build a highway and tells him that the project has been in the office for more than a year.

In order to defend his homeland, Dent wants to be the strongest nail farmer, and he lies in front of the bulldozer to stop these people.

At the same time, in order to build an interstellar multidimensional space highway, the Multidimensional Space Planning Committee of the Galaxy sent a construction fleet of Vogons to dismantle the Earth that was "in the way".

Dent's friend Flynn is actually an alien who takes Dent into space at the moment the Earth is demolished, hitches a ride on the ship of the Vogons, and becomes a hitchhiker on a space trip.

Later, the two of them were discovered by the Vogons and thrown out of the spaceship, but they happened to get into the most advanced spaceship in the universe called "Golden Heart" that the president of the galaxy had privately launched, and formed a small group with another surviving earthling, Teresa and the robot Marven.

During his subsequent space travels, Dent discovers that towels are the most useful thing in the universe, experiences a whole new meaning to life, and discovers that everything he needs to know is actually written in an e-book called The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

After a few of them went through hurried hardships and dangers, they finally accidentally discovered that there was a factory in the universe that made planets for funders, and the one who paid for the earth was a mouse!

The absurdity of the novel is vividly reflected in the plot, where the Earth is demolished because of the interstellar highway, and the president of the Galactic Empire announces the success of the research of the non-probability spacecraft, and the destruction of the Earth suddenly becomes meaningless.

42 is the simple answer to the ultimate question, and when the deep thought computer answered the question, it said that it could only design the most powerful computer in all time and space, and through 10 million years of operation, this computer would be able to give the answer, and deep thought has even given this computer a good name, called the earth.

However, the irony is that when the earth was still 5 minutes away from finishing the operation, it was destroyed by the Vogons because of the interstellar highway!

In fact, the content of this book is not much, only more than 80,000 words, adding up to 35 chapters, this short tens of thousands of words condenses too many things, at best it is a novella.

This is less than many books that Lin Han has written before, and if the book is published, it may only be half as thick as "The Three-Body Problem", and it is estimated that it will not be heavy in the hand. But there is not a lot of thought spent on this, and after carefully carving these 80,000 words, Lin Han feels that he may not be able to complete it in a month.

In fact, 80,000 words is just the beginning for an online novel, and it may not even get to the main topic, and the author can write so much in a day or two.

In fact, Lin Han also thought about writing the later parts of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" together, after all, they are a complete whole, "The Restaurant of the Cosmic Lens", "Life, the Universe and Everything", "Goodbye, Thank You Fish" and "Basically Harmless" These five parts are a whole.

However, the amount of work is relatively huge, and for Lin Han, it will take more than a month or two to revise the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". So the next few parts will be put out of the plan for the time being, and we will talk about it when I have time.

The heating emanated from the room, and after Lin Han got up and took a glass of water, he returned to work, stopped writing, saved this edition, and then opened a document to continue writing, and different versions were piled up in folders.

"Wine is a colorless, volatile liquid fermented from sugar, and the Encyclopedia of the Galaxy mentions its ability to intoxicate carbon-based life forms.

Alcohol is also mentioned in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which says that the best drink that exists is the "Pan-Galactic Gargle Explosive", and drinking a glass of Pan-Galactic Gargle Explosive feels like being smashed on the head by a large gold brick wrapped in lemons. ”

Lin Han wrote, and he couldn't help but be happy, "The Guide will also tell you which planets can make the best Pangalactic Gargle Explosives, how much it costs to buy one, and what volunteer organizations exist to help you recover your health after drinking, and even teach you how to make a Pangalactic Gargle Explosives." ”

The ridicule and sarcasm at the beginning, Lin Han wrote very hard, but this is not the reason why he is lazy and procrastinating, as an author with self-control, Lin Han never needs to worry about the editor, which is something that many authors can't do.

After connecting the absurdity and nonsense in the novel with reality, this rich imagination and caustic sense of humor becomes a mockery of human society, and all kinds of phenomena in human life are ridiculed in every detail, but all this needs to be measured.

The guinea pig in the laboratory actually built the earth, criticized the politicians, and then the bureaucracy, at the beginning the protagonist Dent's house was demolished and the earth was forcibly demolished for the same reason, and the headquarters of the Wogons is a bureaucratic base camp.

This book cleverly turns a cynical critical realist novel into a hilarious science fiction novel, which can make people think deeply in addition to hilarious, and it is really a masterpiece of soft science fiction!
