Chapter 660: The Man Who Dominates Time!
After Zhou Kai saw the news that Lin Han had won the sales championship in Europe and the United States, he couldn't help but sit up from the lawn. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I knew he was very good, how shocking it would be if it was made into a movie!"
At this time, the sun was just right, he was lying on the lawn of the school alone and reading a book, without anyone disturbing him, he had already finished reading "Interstellar", but he couldn't help but read it again.
When he was a child, Zhou Kai hoped to look up at the starry sky, and the rural sky at that time was full of stars, especially lying on the roof of the building and watching the stars at night in summer, which became something almost every peasant child would do!
This led to a curiosity about the vastness of the universe, but the cities that now live are filled with stunning heavy industry and gray-yellow skies.
At night, in addition to the hazy moon, I can only occasionally glimpse the swaying and twinkling figures of Sirius and Venus! The last time I saw the Milky Way stars was in the projection dome of the planetarium, the strange-looking projector turned coldly, spreading countless points of light overhead, this mysterious and alluring sky made Zhou Kai feel intoxicated!
For a long time, he would hardly let go of any books, films and television works related to the sky and the universe, he would be fascinated by the description of a novel, he would be fascinated by the cosmic lens of a movie, and he would be full of emotion because of the real picture of a documentary.
When he saw Lin Han's "Interstellar", Zhou Kai told himself that he must buy it and then read it, he believed that Lin Han would definitely bring him a different touch!
Zhou Kai went to buy the book back on the first day of the novel's sale, and then read it without sleep or food, the whole novel looks very real, and it also has quite a warning significance.
At the beginning, the life of the family first paved the way for the relationship between father and daughter and the necessary foreshadowing. Cooper, a former NASA pilot who lives as a farmer on a planet with a deteriorating ecological environment, lives with his father-in-law, a son and a daughter, and is particularly fond of his quirky daughter. Inspired by the paranormal phenomenon of the ghost in their daughter's room, Cooper and his daughter discover NASA and their secret plan to save the planet.
Cooper accepts Professor Brad's request to protect his son and daughter, but Murphy refuses to accept this reality, and she does not want her father to leave. The family communication between the two people gradually weakened and even diverged as the spaceship rushed into space!
In the middle of the story, Cooper's exploration mission aboard the Perseverance does not go well and suffers a huge setback.
This section is what Zhou Kai is most interested in, interstellar travel includes many technical details, such as gravitational slingshots, the power of air pressure, the absence of sound in space, the accretion disk around the black hole, etc., which makes him feel like blood is boiling!
At the same time, this is also the most "hard" part of the whole novel, but Lin Han uses his own writing to evolve the text into an image in every reader's mind.
As a science fiction novel with a space theme, the description of celestial wonders is naturally something that readers care about, whether it is the beautiful ring of the gas giant Saturn, or the image of a nebula distorted by a gravitational mirror in a spherical wormhole, or the glittering ribbon of the accretion disk rotating outside the huge black hole, or the monstrous waves and ice clouds on the terrestrial planets, all of which make readers breathless and fascinated!
He was able to describe the stars and the Milky Way in words alone, and he did not forget to describe the quiet, empty and dark space outside the outer shell of the ship, cold and lifeless.
The universe is not as beautiful as it seems, it is full of dangers, but it is fascinating!
Zhou Kai didn't get to witness the breathtaking brilliance of the stars in the galaxy, he only felt that it was a huge regret, and he really wanted to see this novel adapted into a movie!
Of course, for Lin Han, he actually made a small adaptation of "Interstellar", so that the plot of the movie was combined with another novel on Earth, "Flying to Sagittarius".
Because in the second half of the movie, it is basically an abbreviated version of "Flying to Sagittarius", especially the protagonist Cooper flies to the destination with the help of the power of a black hole when the spaceship is short of fuel, which is exactly the same as the plot in the novel.
"Flying to Sagittarius" is the work of Mr. Zheng Wenguang, the father of Chinese science fiction, this novel born in the last century was taken by Lin Han to integrate with "Interstellar", which is also a very wonderful work!
In doing so, Lin Han made the plot of "Interstellar" fuller, and at the same time gave new vitality to that work.
……
This appetizing science fiction novel is also a dish for book reviewers, and it is indeed a family novel with a science fiction core, just like Lin Han said in Weibo before.
From the setting of this article, it can be seen that Lin Han's determination to try to make "Interstellar" a hard science fiction classic. Ecological deterioration that is not overly exaggerated, not so far away, the stagnation of technology due to the decline of humanity, and the abandonment of flashy spaceships, all of this is very real and plausible. The loneliness of space travel is depicted in the novel, and even the water detected on terrestrial planets drinking ammonia crystals is scientifically sound.
For the wormholes, black holes, and everything in time and space in the novel, ordinary readers may find it difficult to read, but in fact, everything is very simple after figuring it out, and I want to say that this is actually a work with a bit of a popular science nature, so that we can know what these things are, what they are used for, and how they are formed!
The five-dimensional space at the end of the novel made me see the feeling of "Plane Country", we see that the five-dimensional space, how can it not be a one-dimensional space creature looking at our world, there is no essential difference between the two.
In the face of the dark tranquility of death, the most innocent desires of life will burn and explode.
This is where humanity began, but it will never end here!
This is not only Professor Brand's stubbornness and unwillingness, not only Cooper's life, but also the last struggle of human beings against fate.
This is as thrilling as all the great stories of exploration, both pride and tragedy, but closer to life, a desperate fight for civilization to cut off its retreat, mixed with hope and despair!"
Wu Yan, a professor of the Chinese Department of Fudan University and also a science fiction writer, gave Lin Han's novel a very high evaluation, the novel is not a simple fight monster upgrade map, nor is it a pure cosmic starry sky travel, but contains human struggle, such a theme is obviously more profound, but also empathetic!
This is not Lin Han's best novel, nor is it the most magnificent novel, but the love between father and daughter is the most touching of all his works, even surpassing the story of a scholar and his daughter who has traveled back in time in "Hyperion".
Love is the eternal theme of human art, and the "love" of this novel runs through the whole text.
Professor Brand's love for his daughter made him hide all hope and send his daughter to a spaceship that carried life and hope.
Cooper's love for his daughter Murphy made him prefer to enter the black hole alone, and even understood the meaning of stay after entering the five-dimensional space.
Amilia's love for her lover, who never appears in the novel, makes her insist on going to her lover's planet even when the spaceship is running low on fuel, even though she knows that there is little hope.
The novel pushes the cruelty of time to the extreme, only Cooper's time is almost stagnant, his appearance has not changed in any way, but in fact it is no longer human, and when he sees his daughter Murphy again, the eccentric little girl is gray-haired, dying, and even full of children and grandchildren!
Everyone knows that Lin Han is good at using the element of "time" to describe all kinds of cruelty in science fiction, such as the eternal love of traveling through time in "The Time Traveler's Wife", such as the story of the scholar's daughter in "Hyperion", such as Benjamin who reverses time in the short story "Rejuvenation", and now the time element of "Interstellar" is also an absolute highlight.
So much so that his readers complained that as long as they saw Lin Han writing about the time element, they knew that most of the whole novel would end in tragedy!
Now Lin Han has been given a new nickname by his readers: the man who rules time!
Time travel has always been a big category in science fiction, not only Lin Han has written works related to time travel, but many science fiction writers at home and abroad have similar articles, but they are not as famous as him.
When Lin Han saw his title, he had a feeling of sneering, his real time-related novels had not yet been taken out, and now he was given this title!
If you take out "The End of Eternity" and "The Story of Your Life" (also known as "Advent"), what will your nickname become?
In fact, Lin Han was a little frightened by the readers' love, because he knew that his novel actually had a little bit of a loophole, but the readers did not criticize it because it was written by himself.
If others don't say it, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know, but when the "Interstellar" movie was released, it caused polarized comments, and this time his novels are basically praise and praise!
In just one week, the number of reviews of "Interstellar" on Douban has exceeded 50,000, and less than 2% of people gave one-star reviews, while the number of five-star reviews was as high as 73%, and the overall score of the novel is 9.2!
Chinese readers loved the story, and American readers praised it well, earning praise on numerous book review sites.
So much so that another joker began to ridicule Lin Han, as long as he got it for a long time, then the Douban reading TOP250 was contracted by him!
Because now science fiction works are arranged according to the score, the top ten are basically Lin Han's books.
