Chapter 459: Nautical Novels

"One sentence can solve this problem, we can say that the treasures in the ocean are a hundred times and thousands of times more than those on land, there are countless mysterious treasures waiting for them to develop and find, and more ferocious demon beasts are waiting for them to cut and kill, in order to obtain greater cultivation resources, for the mysterious and unknown treasures, the masters have gone to the sea one after another, and this is the situation in the novel," Tong Yan paused, "As for why I put the background of the story on the sea, it is because once I went to Australia, and I saw a lot of old ships in a sea ship museum there, The ships were huge, quaint, and full of history, and I saw many stories from them, and they piqued my interest in ocean adventures, and from that time on, I began to conceive such a story in my head. ”

"I have a lot of ideas for new books on my computer hard drive, and they are put in different folders by me, among which there are a few fantasy and fairy tales that are more mature than this one, but this time I wanted to find myself a challenge, so I gave up those down-to-earth land stories and chose such a drifting sea ship story."

Tong Yan had only said these words to Tang Cheng before, this was the first time he mentioned it to others, and Tong Yan didn't say that this kind of novel must not only have two main characters, as long as they are on the same boat, they are the main characters, and it takes a lot of effort to present multiple characters in front of the reader in three dimensions, and it is necessary to depict the daily communication and life of a group of people in an orderly manner.

The novels of the Great Voyage genre are not written by no one, and according to the way of operation, they can generally be divided into pirate flows, island territory mainstreams, and merchant ship flows, etc., and according to the background setting, there are generally game versions of "The Age of Discovery", anime "One Piece" and real history.

The first is generally an online game novel, which adopts the structure and setting of the game "Age of Discovery", which is the most prevalent in this type of novel.

The second type is "One Piece" fanfiction. It is generally aimed at Japanese comic fans.

The third is historical literature, but the land struggle for hegemony is put on the sea, and the things that Columbus Magellan and others have done are let the Chinese do in advance, some to make the country rich and strong, and some to make themselves rich and strong.

Sailing is a very easy behavior that makes boys restless because of the unknown. Therefore, there are countless possibilities in the distant distance, and it is very likely that you will be buried in the belly of a fish, or you may find treasures to soar. But no matter what kind of background or genre, this kind of novel has never been popular, and even a decent masterpiece can't be found, even if there are a few novels with a good reputation, they are eunuchs because the author can't make money, and in the end, this category can only be reduced to a niche in a niche, or rely on games. Either rely on the same human and historical classes to survive, and there may not be a book that can be read in a year.

Before listening to Tong Yan mention it, even if He Zichen had played "The Age of Discovery" and watched the anime of "One Piece", he had never had even the slightest interest in this type of novel, but after listening to Tong Yan's simple and vague clarification of some of his views, he couldn't wait to see this new world created by the god Wuji.

In order for a great god to become a great god, he must have the ability to independently create and construct a new world. Just like the Xianxia world of "Emperor Immortal" created by him, the secular kingdom and the Xiuzhen sect coexist. The orderly promotion system, survival of the fittest system, and the detailed description of the whole system such as refining weapons, formations, pills, and puppets within the sect allow readers to see a new and meticulous world of cultivation with almost no flaws, and his creation provides valuable templates and imitation objects for later authors.

He Zichen never thought that Tong Yan Wuji would borrow "The Age of Discovery" and "One Piece" even if it is the worldview background of the earth, and Tong Yan Wuji's marine world must be very different, even if it is borrowed. It will definitely be refreshing, this is the new appointment of an old reader to the golden sign of Tong Yan Wuji.

"Great God, have you played "Age of Discovery" and watched "One Piece"?" He Zichen asked, because the existing nautical novels are basically based on them.

Tong Yan shook his head: "I only know the name of this game in "Age of Discovery". Dang Han knows, I almost don't play games, as for "One Piece", I know more about "One Piece", I know that the protagonist of this anime is called Luffy, with a straw hat, and his body is very elastic, and the others, oh, by the way, there is also a thing called Devil Fruit in this anime, as for the details of this fruit, I don't know. ”

"That's all you know?" He Zichen said differently.

Tong Yan smiled: "I still know that less is better." ”

He Zichen understood in an instant, since this book was written by Tong Yan Wuji, it can't be taken lightly like an ordinary online text, even if it can't reach the height of "Emperor Immortal", it must be a far-reaching online literary boutique, if such a novel is caught plagiarizing or borrowing from the small tail of Japanese comics, it will definitely be a stain on his creative career, and it will also affect the reputation of this book, so he must ensure the originality of the story and fill the framework and muscles of this world with his own ingenuity, And He Zichen absolutely believes that he has this ability.

has already asked the general direction of the next book, He Zichen accepted it when he saw it, and did not ask for any more details about the novel, but he was itching when this novel would be able to meet readers.

"It's a month after I finish writing "Emperor Immortal", I have no rest all year round, and I can only take a breath when I finish the book." Tong Yan replied, He Zichen was not dissatisfied with this answer, and a month of forbearance passed.

"Great God, you can stay in the hotel next to our school, we have already arranged it, don't worry, there must be a net, tomorrow we plan to go to the shipyard to see the construction of the big ship, do you want to come along?" Ho asked, visiting the shipyard is also one of the steps of their activities.

Tong Yan agreed without thinking about it: "Of course! ”

In his new book, the boat is a very important prop, at the beginning, the boat may be a large piece of hollowed out wood, it may be a floating plank, and later, with the growth of the protagonist's strength and power, the ship is also gradually evolving, some are robbed, some are made by finding their own materials, and the top ship is made based on the corpse of a deep-sea monster, which is not only huge and strong, but also reveals the terrifying atmosphere of another ordinary monster.

The ships in the book are very mysterious, each one is unique, the style is very different, it is a sea mobile castle that allows people to emerge the outline through text description, so the shipbuilding technology in reality is not universal to the novel, Tong Yan does not want to write his ocean rivers and lakes too professionally, the detailed shipbuilding process will make people feel that this is a thesis, thus producing dyslexia, but not writing anything, just a brush stroke is not appropriate, appropriate professional terms can create an unfathomable feeling in the reader's heart, This adds convincing.

And how to grasp this balance, this is Tong Yanwuji's area of expertise, he can ensure that what he writes is accepted by the public, even if the story takes place in a less acceptable venue such as the ocean.

That night, Tong Yan pre-released the seven-day chapter, and their voyage this time was from Tsu City to Fukuoka, Japan, and it would take almost three days to arrive, even if there was no network signal at sea, there was no need to worry.

The next day, Dang Han brought a few new classmates, after introducing each other, Tong Yan came to the Xingang Shipbuilding Factory with them, in addition to the Pearl that will make its maiden voyage tomorrow, there are seven or eight thousand-ton ships under construction in the factory, several of which are made for foreign cruise companies, Tong Yan They will spend a full and fresh day here today...... (To be continued......)
