In addition to the article in which Govwen and Mr. Qian Xuesen discussed science fiction again, this issue of Jiefang Daily also published another article by Govin, which is "Pastoral."

……

"What the hell do you want me to see?" Chen Cheng asked a little impatiently, her mind had flown back to the experimental base, and she began to think about how to make up for the work that had been delayed in the past two days after she returned.

He Xiliang didn't say anything for a long time, an abnormal flush rippled on his cheeks, and his eyes were watery on the thin branch.

"It's time for me to go." Chen Cheng finally made up his mind to put an end to this action, which perhaps should not have started in the first place.

He Xi raised his head and exhaled a long breath. "You really didn't see it?" He pointed to the twig above his head.

"Of course I did." Chen Cheng replied angrily.

"No, you didn't see it." He Xi shook his head solemnly, as if he was pronouncing something, "This is a branch...... Rice. ”

"What did you say?" Chen Cheng froze as if he had been punched hard, "Rice ...... Spike? ”

"Ears of rice, of course." He Xi patted the trunk of the tree beside him, which was twisted and thick like a coiled dragon, "It is knotted on the rice stalk." Don't you see it yet? He Xi's voice became low and strange, and his expression was very unusual, like a wizard from the dark forest.

"We're standing underneath a rice plant." He said in a wizard-like voice.

……

"In the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", there was a plant called Mu He. It grows on the Kunlun Mountains in the sea and is five fathoms long. Big five measurements. ”

He Xi stared at the green on all sides with burning eyes, and calmly recounted the legend that was almost as old as this country.

It was only now that Chen Cheng relieved her breath a little, and a feeling of tiredness made her unconsciously lean on the trunk of the tree. Her head was a little dizzy. The corners of the forehead were tugging and jumping, as if someone was pulling there with a rope. Classic of Mountains and Seas, Kunlun Mountain, Muhe ...... She heard these nouns that only existed in mythology continue to flow from He Xi's mouth. These are all myths, a voice said in Chen Cheng's head. But another taller voice immediately said, "No, you're leaning against the trunk of a tree now." You can touch every leaf of it, you can hear the sound of the wind blowing the leaves.

"What the hell is this plant?" Chen Cheng's voice was so low that he could barely hear it.

"I call it Sample 119 because it was bred by Sample 119. The other samples failed. In a sense, it is indeed a type of rice, but—" He Xi paused, "it is a perennial woody plant. ”

"Woody plants? Perennial? Chen Cheng repeated He Xi's words, the expression on his face was as if he couldn't understand the meaning of these words with clear meanings.

……

"I don't bother with the numbers." He Xi stroked the smooth trunk of the tree. The movements are gentle.

"All I know is that with Sample 119, people don't have to cut down forests to increase arable land. At that time, they planted a tree for each of their next grains. I also know that with it, people will no longer have to repeat the heavy labor of turning the soil and sowing seeds and harvesting countless times a year, as they have done for thousands of years, and people will only need to sow seeds once and easily harvest dozens or hundreds of years. The scene of hard work like the sweat dripping into the soil on the hoe day has since become history. At the same time, because trees have far more developed root systems than herbaceous plants, people hardly need to water and fertilize. Soil erosion will also be gone. As long as the sunlight can reach it, as long as the earth can accommodate it, it can grow freely, providing a steady stream of natural gifts such as oxygen, starch, and protein. In the future, people will be one with nature in the boundless forest and ocean, and will never be separated again. ”

Chen Cheng was truly shocked this time. She couldn't speak at all, she couldn't even move. The scene He Xi depicted was like a scene from a myth, and she was completely addicted to it and couldn't extricate herself. Changing the world? That's what He Xi said. But it's more than just changing the world. It's like reinventing a world. Chen Cheng stared intently at He Jiu, who was still immersed in her own world, and she felt that there was an indescribable light enveloping He Xi's face.

……

Although there is a huge difference between Govwen and Mr. Qian Xuesen on the issue of science fiction, and although the two have already had an exchange of ideas and consciousness through the Liberation Daily, the argument between them is completely different from the debate between Govwen and Chen Guanyu, and between Govine and the critics -- it is a discussion in which they sit down and express their views and opinions on an equal footing and in a friendly manner.

There is no malicious attack, there is no deliberate pretending to be a senior or authority, and it is normal for us to draw conclusions through discussion when we encounter disagreements in our daily lives.

And Govin also respects Mr. Qian Xuesen.

For a great scientist with a noble personality and strong patriotic feelings, anyone will have respect!

So this "Pastoral" is the novel he dedicated to Mr. Qian Xuesen.

Originally, Govin planned to add a frontispiece under the title to explain this, but he was worried that some people would think that he was kitsch and begging Qian Xuesen, so he finally deleted the sentence that had already come out.

In fact, during the Great Leap Forward, Gewen was supportive of Qian Xuesen's theory of "10,000 catties per mu".

The yield per mu has been realized in later generations, and Qian Xuesen used scientific methods to calculate the yield of 10,000 catties per mu in the fifties, which is a very common thing for a scientist, and it is Qian Xuesen's prospect for agriculture! It's a pity that in that chaotic era at that time, it had become normal for people to talk big about satellites, and Qian Xuesen, a big scientist, couldn't get rid of the situation of being used.

There are always some helpless things in everyone's life, and Qian Xuesen is no exception.

As soon as the latest issue of Jiefang Daily came out, it attracted huge public attention.

Readers are naturally concerned about the new science fiction novel "Pastoral", and they yearn for the fantasy in the novel.

Yes, if Mu He in the Classic of Mountains and Seas really appears. Then there will be no hunger again......

When will China win the gold medal at the Olympics?

One day the Olympics will be held in China, and by that time, we will definitely be the country with the most gold medals!

……

The entire literary and scientific circles and the popular science circles are concerned about whether Qian Xuesen will respond?

It's really a huge cliffhanger!

Most people in the literary world thought that this time Qian Lao would not respond to Govine's discussion again. Govyn's latest commentary continues his previous notions. However, the arguments and arguments are very sufficient, especially the examples he gives to make people agree with his ideas.

Besides, Qian Lao's work is so busy, it is already very rare to be able to spare a little time to write a reply, is it still for his old man to do nothing and serve him?

The scientific community, especially those engaged in agricultural research and theoretical physics research, is extremely excited.

The genetically modified technology described in this "Pastoral" and the fantasy of Mu He. It is very gratifying for a group of agricultural research workers.

As early as 1975, the agricultural researchers led by Yuan Longping have successfully developed hybrid rice planting technology, and at this time, the large-scale promotion of hybrid rice has begun a long process of promotion in China, and this "Pastoral" is simply the greatest recognition of their work!

Theoretical physicists are interested in the superstring theoretical anomalies proposed in Gowen's commentary.

Over the past hundred years. Physicists across the globe have discovered a series of smaller and more fundamental building blocks of matter. These findings were eventually summarized into the Standard Model: leptons (like electrons and neutrinos), quarks, and the electromagnetic and weak interaction forces that bind these particles together. However, the Standard Model is not the end of the story, because it is simply too complex to explain a table of elementary particles that is more complex than the periodic table and the forces they exert on each other.

The superstring theory proposed by Govyn seems to be a perfect explanation for many of the rough contours and properties of the Standard Model.

Faced with this suddenly appeared a seemingly interesting topic. Some physics researchers began to demonstrate this so-called superstring theory in their spare time.

February 18th. "Jiefang Daily" did not have an article by Mr. Qian Xuesen.

On February 19, the Liberation Daily was as calm as water.

On 20 February, there was no fighting on the front.

Could it be that Mr. Qian Xuesen was also persuaded by Govine's comment?

Countless readers, and interested people can't help but think of this.

Probably not, right? Let's wait and see.

While the literary world, the scientific community, and the readership were closely watching what was going to happen, on February 21, a news item published in the People's Daily turned everyone's attention away.

This news is from Japan.

On February 20, 1984, at the 13th Japan Nebula Awards held in Tokyo, Japan, Govyn's "The Country Teacher" won the award for the best short science fiction novel overseas.

As the largest newspaper in China, People's Daily naturally pays attention to global news and information. The Xinhua News Agency under its jurisdiction has telecommunications stations in various countries around the world, and it is natural that news related to China such as Govin's award will be reported.

Govin won the Nebula Award in Japan?!

What's going on?

The scientific community took a slight note. The whole literary world was in an uproar.

In fact, there are some Chinese writers who have won foreign literary awards in recent years, but the winners are all older generation literary masters like Ba Jin, and the younger generation has no chance to receive such honors.

You think, no matter how good your work is, no matter how high the sales are, it will only be in China. Everyone speaks the same words and writes the same words, and it is naturally not difficult to read. But if you want your work to be known by foreign readers, then your work must be translated into foreign languages, otherwise how can foreign readers understand the Chinese characters like the Book of Heaven?

But how could Govin's work be translated into Japanese?

Also, what exactly is this Nebula Award?

A lot of people started to gather information, and then they figured out what was going on.

The Nebula Award is the most authoritative award in the field of Japanese fantasy fiction and has considerable influence in China. The award is voted on by members of the annual Japan Science Fiction Convention, and the nominees are original Japanese fantasy novels, reviews, and manga published in business magazines or as individual books from January of the previous year to January of the current year, as well as the best translated novel and the best translated short story, and Govin won the award for the best translated short story.

Gawain's "Village Teacher" was translated by Osamu Iwakami, a teacher in the Department of Chinese at Waseda University and published in the January 1984 issue of Japan's science fiction magazine Cosmic Dust.

Looking at the collected information, all the writers in the literary world are looking at each other, science fiction still has this future?!

After sighing, these writers began another round of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Chinese readers are also very happy, and everyone is very proud of Govine's award - this kid is giving us Chinese a long face!

Of course, while everyone is happy, there is also a trace of disdain in their hearts.

Hmph, we Govin are members of the World Science Fiction Association, and we were invited to join by the father of modern science fiction in the United States. Winning your prize is not a matter of hand-holding! (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )

PS: The children made a lot of noise at night, and it wasn't until more than nine o'clock that they settled down to code words, so it was late. This is the first update on the 12th.
