Lan Mao said that he was excited, and tears finally flashed out of the corners of his eyes.

She looked at Govyn's heart suddenly.

No matter when the beauty will always consciously or unconsciously attract everyone's attention, this is no love, but everyone has a love for beauty, "everyone has a deep feeling of yearning for beauty."

Govin didn't know what to say, he was not familiar with the science fiction world of this generation, although he learned some basic information from Lan Mao's mouth, "But hearing is false, seeing is believing, this is not enough to be the reason for him to recognize Si Lan Mao, even if Lan Mao is such a beautiful girl."

No matter what kind of things "only after one's own understanding and investigation", only after one's own understanding and thinking, can one have the right to speak.

So for a moment, Govin didn't know what to say.

Echo Lan Mao's opinion and be afraid of her enemy? still opposes Lan Mao's point of view and competes with her

Govin smiled bitterly in his heart, and had to comfort: "Lan Mao Sizhi, don't get excited" No matter what, Chinese science fiction will not perish! I can really assure you of that. ”

In his heart, Gewen recalled the "Science Fiction World" magazine he had read in his previous life, and he recalled the development of China's science fiction industry that he had learned about in his previous life, Liu Cixin, Han Song, Wang Jinkang, Tang Feng, Yao Haijun, "a big science fiction writer gradually emerged." In the days before Govern's crossing, Liu Xinci's long science fiction novel "Three Rests" caused turmoil in the publishing industry, which all shows the development of science fiction, all of which shows that science fiction has not been eliminated, and it has been silently accumulating its own strength, waiting for the day when it can break through the ground and "welcome the sun and rain."

"Won't it perish?" Lan Mao raised his head to look at Govin with tears in his eyes.

"Yes! Although the origin of science fiction is not in China, this literary form will not disappear. Govin swore to Lan Mao that "not only will science fiction not disappear, but it will become more and more popular in the years to come, and one day it will become a kind of fiction that the public likes" I am sure! ”

"How can you be so sure?" There was still a hint of resignation in Lan Mao's tone.

Why am I sure?

Hearing Lan Mao's question, Govin smiled softly.

Even if he didn't know the development process of Chinese science fiction novels and science fiction works in later generations, he would still give such a firm answer.

Today's era is no longer the same as the past, and science and technology are the primary productive forces

Whether it is a socialist country like China or a capitalist country like the United States, as long as it wants to develop and try to become a big country in the world, it must attach importance to science and technology and scientific and technological talents, and this is the inevitable law of historical development.

What is Science Fiction? What is science fiction, science fiction?

Science fiction is science fiction, and science fiction works are based on the discovery of real or imagined scientific theories, based on new discoveries and achievements in science and technology, and possible predictions on these basis, and describe in a fantastical way that human beings use these new achievements to accomplish certain miracles.

Science fiction is actually inseparable from popular science, science fiction provides people with a platform for fantasy and a platform for literary and cultural exchanges. It prepares people mentally for the acceptance of certain paranormal phenomena, and it is easier for people who have read science fiction to accept or understand new phenomena or unknown things.

Science fiction focuses on the present and is higher than the present, predicting the future from the present, and thinking about the ancient from the present" Thinking about the future, thinking about the future of human beings, living beings, and even the earth, the solar system, and even the entire universe! Moreover, the theme of science fiction is both heavy and lively, and the forms are diverse, which undoubtedly stimulates people's curiosity from childhood.

So science fiction has always been one of the bridges between science and the general public.

Science fiction will stimulate readers' pursuit and yearning for science, stimulate the strong curiosity of the general public, which will undoubtedly bring science and technology to the general public, and even allow readers to embark on the road of scientific research and technology because they like science fiction.

Will such a recess disappear?

Govin smiled silently, and the role of science and technology for a great power had already been mentioned in the series of articles he wrote about the rise of a great power a few days ago.

In the article, he mentioned the third industrial revolution and the importance of scientific and technological talents to a country, and believed that the readers "believe that the elites and officials in this professional field, after reading these articles, will consciously or unconsciously have a certain understanding and thinking about science and technology."

This may play a role in improving the situation of Chinese science fiction.

Hearing Gowen's repeated assurances, Lan Mao's mood suddenly improved a lot.

In the hearts of many young people, Govin is not simply an object of their admiration

Govine's independence, Gowen's words and deeds, his articles, and his views have made many people regard Govine as their spokesperson, as their spiritual mentor and guide.

They trust Gowen, they believe in Gowen. And Lan Yan was undoubtedly one of them.

Lan Mao took out a plain handkerchief from the pocket of his skirt to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked at Govyn and asked seriously, "So, Govyn, you have decided to write science fiction?!" ”

Bar"

Lan Mao's words made Govin stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the question that Lan Mao had asked him before why he didn't write science fiction novels.

Then Govin couldn't stop laughing.

It seems that the guarantee that Chinese science fiction that he had previously told Lan Mao would not die out was mistakenly thought by Lan Mao that he had finally decided to write science fiction novels to save the status quo of Chinese science fiction? ”

But is this something I can do alone?

Govin was speechless, but seeing Lan Mao's expectant gaze, the words of his refusal could not come out of his mouth.

Let's do what you can.

"As you wish."

Looking at Lan Mao, who had a sweet smile on his face, looking at Lan Mao, who seemed to be a budding flower suddenly opening up angrily in the middle of summer, and looking at Lan Mao, who was originally a little nervous and now cowering like a kitten, when he heard his words, he suddenly became enthusiastic and cautious again.

However, I don't know much about the situation and information about science fiction in China, "It's easy to write science fiction, but if you want to improve the current state of science fiction by trying to read one or two articles, this is difficult." Govin looked at Lan Mao, who was cheering, and said with some embarrassment.

Then he noticed Lan Mao's puzzled eyes, and quickly added: "The reason why I say that I like science fiction works is because I usually watch some foreign science fiction works, and I really don't know much about the domestic situation."

"It's okay" Lan Mao waved his hand, looked at Gowen, and said seriously: "I have a lot of science fiction novels at home, I can lend them to you." ”

"Okay." Looking at Lan Mao, whose face was full of seriousness and persistence, Govin smiled bitterly in his heart and nodded.

"Our dorm is right in front," let's go now. Lan Mao pointed to the northeast behind her and said with some anxiety.

"Okay."

So Gowen, who was a little reluctant, followed Lan Mao's side and walked towards Lan Mao's dormitory.

The history of the machinery factory is very ancient, its predecessor was the imitation weaving factory of Shanghai Rongshi during the Republic of China, built in the suburbs of Shanghai, after the liberation of the nationalization, it was transformed into a relatively large automobile machinery manufacturing factory in China, specializing in the production of agricultural machinery parts.

So the greenery in the factory area is really good, and Govin followed Lan Mao out of the dirt road of the canteen, turned right and walked onto the road of the factory.

This is a wide oil road, is the main road of the machinery factory, the whole road sits west to east, from the end of the road to the staff dormitory building has been obliquely down to the gate of the machinery factory, and on both sides of the road is a machinery manufacturing workshop.

The trees on both sides of the road are shady, and the breeze blows and the leaves rattle.

Lan Mao continued to introduce the story of Chinese science fiction to Govin beside him as he walked.

I have to say that Lan Mao is really an out-and-out science fiction fan, and almost everything she tells about Chinese science fiction is very detailed, and when she hears Govine's ears, she quickly forms a clear outline.

It turns out that the scar literature, reflective literature, and root-seeking literature that have been popular in the literary circle all have corresponding science fiction versions. For example, "Star Camp" quotes the theme of "The White-Haired Girl" "Japanese society turns people into ghosts, and the new society turns ghosts into people", and writes that during the Cultural Revolution, the rebels injected anti-hormones into "cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods" to stimulate their atavistic phenomena, grow tails, and become half-orangutans"...

Just as Govin was listening attentively, suddenly, a girl in white clothes on a bicycle rushed out of a downhill road on the diagonal side of the road.

As soon as the girl on the bicycle appeared, Gowen's eyes lit up, because the girl not far in front of her was even more delicate and beautiful than Lan Mao beside him.

Could it be that this machine factory produces beautiful women in addition to the production of spare parts for agricultural machinery?

Govyn's heart was a little admiring, but he quickly noticed that something was wrong.

As soon as the girl who rushed out of the diagonal side of the road appeared on the main road diagonally downward, she slammed the bell on the front of the car, "And the bicycle seemed to be drunk, and it came straight to Govyn crookedly."

Govin and Lan Mao were both shocked at the same time.

Seeing that the bicycle was about to rush to Gowen's body, Gowen hurriedly grabbed Lan Mao's arm and then stepped to the side of the road, avoiding the head of the bicycle in an instant.

Then a fresh fragrance swept past him, "leaving only the crisp chime of a bell and a frightened oops."

This sudden contrast made Govin's heart angry, and he turned his head to stare at the somewhat reckless girl with some annoyance, and then heard the shouts of Lan Mao beside him

"Lan wax, be careful" You should be slower when you first learn to ride! ”

And the girl in the distance who was riding a bicycle on the road "raised a hand held on the head of the bicycle and waved it to the sky, and in the trajectory of the bicycle suddenly became more distorted" replied with a hint of pride: "Don't worry, sister." ”

After a turn, the girl on her bicycle disappeared into the shade of the trees.

"She's my sister Lan Wax, who has just started to learn to ride a bike," so "some" "Lan Mao's voice came from beside her.

A cold sweat broke out on Govine's head.

On the way back, Lin Yiming chattered in Gewen's ear about the excitement of Gu Cheng's poetry lecture.

When the absent-minded Gewen asked Lin Yiming where Gu Cheng went, "Why don't you go back with yourself and the others, Lin Yiming laughed as if he had thought of something funny" and then said to the bewildered Gowen:

"You left first, and you didn't see the last crazy scene at all! After Gu Cheng recited all the poems, he was surrounded by the enthusiastic audience. There was no way back for him, and I saw that he had finally escaped from the kitchen of the cafeteria with the help of the organizers of the machine shops. I guess he doesn't know where he's hiding now, "haha"..."

Looking at Lin Yiming's gloating appearance, "Gewen couldn't help but smile, it turns out that poetry lovers are no less excited than those star-chasing fans in later generations."

Lin Yiming continued to talk about the interesting things during the speech, and Govin began to recall the surprise and shock he felt in the dormitory of Lan Mao, a female worker in the machinery factory

In the 80s, although China's policy became more enlightened day by day, because of the turmoil of the past decade, "people's material life was not abundant.

So when Govin saw that the biggest furniture in Lan Mao's small house of only more than 20 square meters was not her bed or her simple desk, but the tall bookshelf that occupied a wall, Govern's heart couldn't help but be full of admiration for the beautiful girl with a cheerful personality and easy to move.

once wrote a poem for the female militia, "I don't love red clothes and love arms", but Lan Mao doesn't love red makeup and knowledge

When Govin noticed that most of the books on the shelves were science fiction novels, various newspapers and magazines related to science fiction and popular science, and even several notebooks of science fiction articles that were very serious and very carefully cut and pasted from various magazines and newspapers, a strong impulse suddenly surged in Gowen's heart.

He wants to do something for this girl, he wants to do something for this girl who is still crazy about science fiction in the reverse current of clean thoughts

Not for China's science fiction, not for China's rise, not for their own dreams, not for high-sounding justice and truth, just because of a girl, just because of a girl's sincerity and love for science fiction

At Lan Mao's home, Govin learned about the real state of Chinese science fiction from the books and materials on Lan Mao's bookshelf.

As Lan Mao said, science fiction has been the heaviest suppression, judging from the magazines, newspapers and other publications in the past two months, just like Lan Mao vented on the road, all of a sudden there is no shadow of science fiction, no science fiction works, no criticism and comments, as if science fiction has never existed.

If you want to break through this dilemma, in addition to having blockbuster science fiction works, you can only give science fiction a real status and circle like creating "The Rising Poetry Group" to give the neck crisp poem a theoretical path. As for the administrative characterization of the state, that is not something that Govin himself can change, and it can only be imperceptibly changed through a small action on the side.

Fortunately, I have mentioned this situation several times in the series of articles on the rise of great powers.

Thinking of this, Govin couldn't help but rejoice in his unintentional move.

Although he has not created any science fiction works himself, after all, he has seen so many science fiction works, he has never eaten all kinds of meat and watched Jingran, and it is actually a very simple thing to create it in combination with his own experience in later generations. Therefore, the most important thing is to give science fiction a real belonging and status.

In the information collected by Lan Mao, Govin found a very important problem. This is the crux of the controversy over science fiction literature among critics and even Qian Xuesen, that is, whether science fiction is science or literature.

It can be seen from the capital system collected by Lan Mao that in fact, as early as the year of Na, the controversy over whether the surname of science fiction literature is "Ke" or "Wen" has surfaced. In that era when there must be a "set of rest", science fiction has always hung between the scientific circle and the literary circle, and there is no landing.

And then the contradiction arises.

At first, critics criticized the errors of scientific knowledge in novels from the standpoint of popularizing science, while writers believed that science fiction is literature, and it is more important to stimulate imagination and interest in science, rather than to pass on specific scientific knowledge.

As this controversy escalated. Writers have no backing, and critics have the support of some scientists" Qian Xuesen has said many times: "Science fiction is a bad thing, because science is rigorous, and fantasy has no scientific norms." Science and fantasy are two unrelated, hostile things.

The controversy itself is only some important theoretical issues", and the analysis and construction of theories are actually very helpful for science fiction creation. But as the controversy escalated, science fiction was soon muddied in the noise of this malicious attack.

The focus of criticism quickly shifted from these purely technical issues to the nature of science fiction, the social implications, and finally to the political issues.

The critics began to focus on Ye Yonglie, who was in the limelight, and his high output was recognized as making money and seeking profit. Wei Yahua's famous work "Dream of the Gentle Country" is written by the wife of the person who is obedient to the master, "extremely gentle, but not satisfying." It has been criticized as "anti-world Datong" and "an obscene political novel".

And then this year's "Clean Up the Spiritual Pollution" campaign began.

In this movement, "science fiction is administratively characterized" as "spiritual pollution." "Received a direct positive blow:

Science fiction is to spread suspicion and distrust, to promote being a "free man".

Science fiction is the tendency of bourgeois liberalization and commodification, which is seriously eroding some of our science fiction creations.

Very few science fiction novels have gone beyond the scope of talking about "science," and have a tendency to show bad tendencies in politics.

It was in this kind of official biography that all the science fiction publishing departments were silenced and silenced" and then science fiction magazines began to suspend publication one after another.

As a result, there is not a single science fiction work in the national publications, and the vast white land is really clean.

Although Govin did not hear of this "clear spiritual pollution" movement in later generations, "he knew that a movement like this would not last long and would be banned by the country's leaders." However, it is precisely because of this movement that "Chinese science fiction, which was originally hired and stepped on, suddenly suffered a blow of ruin, which is simply the biggest disaster."

In the final analysis, it's still a dispute between science and culture

Gowen raised his hand and fell his brow, since he had sorted out the most critical factors to solve the matter, then the next step was naturally to prescribe the right medicine

For Gowen, "this sci-fi battle over science and technology is simply a ridiculous thing. This is like the dispute between the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect of the Huashan faction in Jin Yong's martial arts novel "Smiling Ao Jianghu", and the internal fighting of his own people is of no use except for weakening his own strength.

Although there are hard science fiction and soft science fiction in later generations, it is just a label of science fiction style, and there is no big controversy.

What "heavy scientific genre" and "heavy literary genre". "It's all taking off your pants and farting, and it can't stand scrutiny at all.

For example, if a chef is given a piece of lean meat, he can choose to braised it, stir-fry, or stew it. Alternatively, he can choose between braised pork, braised beef, or braised fish. But will he be able to choose between "braised meat" and "meat"?

One is the raw material and the other is the cooking method, how can they form a polar opposite?

It's all because of the conservative and rigid thinking of the past

Govyn's heart suddenly became a little resentful.
