Chapter 306: The Little Prince

Subtitle of this chapter: Is the Demon (Pat) Change (Ma) still our Master Yuan?

………………………………………………………………

Hirohito took the manuscript from Nomura Kichizaburo and looked closer to the cover, which read:

《THE SAM》。

The book "The Swarm" was published in 2005 by the German writer Frank Schaumltzing.

Born in Cologne in 1957, this dude has lived a varied life, being a creative director, composer and music producer for advertising agencies, as well as an enthusiastic amateur chef and trained diver.

By the way, Šiting is good-looking, very feminine, and has never been married.

In 1995, Stetting made a name for himself when he published his first historical mystery set in the 13th century, Cologne 911.

The 2000 political thriller "Quietly" was hailed by the media as "a wonderful moment captured in the century that is about to end". He used a fictional assassination of Commander Clinton to illustrate the situation in Europe at that time.

Therefore, he is known as "Germany's Dan Brown" and "Germany's Michael Clayton".

Of course, he has a few fewer hits than the other two.

The sci-fi thriller "The Group" released in 2005 is his most famous masterpiece, and it is said that Hollywood star Uma Thurman bought the film rights, but until our Master Yuan crossed, he did not see the news of the start of filming of "The Group".

"The Swarm" is about human beings being terrorized by marine creatures: in the kitchen of a top French restaurant, lobsters have become BOOOOMER; Whale pods off the coast of Canada are actively attacking humans; Mexican pike crabs suddenly have a deadly toxin in their bodies; Poisonous jellyfish surround Australia and Indonesia.

Mussel crustaceans everywhere began to have the ability to navigate, flocking to the moving freighter until the rudder was blocked by crushed piles of mussel shells. As a result, international shipping came to a standstill.

Humans eventually discovered that the culprit of all this was actually a marine intelligent creature that looked about the same as an inflatable cushion......

But, but, however, it makes sense that "Germany's Dan Brown + Michael Clayton" is not as good as "America's Dan Brown" and "America's Michael Clayton".

This plot is really good, but the writing is problematic, using the most easy double-line technique to hit the street, and the characters are outrageous. In fact, this is more suitable for readers in 1921 than in 2005.

And the German writer is really a Hans, and the information is too detailed. He not only writes about the most cutting-edge research progress in marine biology and marine geology, but also takes the trouble to describe in detail the main institutions, research methods and even scientific research instruments in this field.

By the way, this is a "broken book" that inserts a plot into scientific materials.

According to the theme of "Group", this was originally a social science soft science fiction with philosophical thinking and humanistic care for human beings, but it turned out to be harder than science and engineering hard science fiction.

IN ADDITION, THE SCIENCE FICTION OF THIS KIND OF GRAND NARRATIVE OFTEN HAS A FLAW, LIKE "THREE-BODY PROBLEM", "GROUP" IS ALSO TOO BIG TO CLOSE,

The pattern is too big, and the ending is too bad.

This will make the reader who persists to the end say, "It's a day, Wang Xingren, you wrote for a long time and showed this to Lao Tzu?" Heartfelt emotion. (Author's note: I won't spoil the ending.) Murong felt that for patients who were short of books, "Group" could still be watched. )

Of course, our Master Yuan has made a big change to this book.

Of course, he deleted all the content that was ahead of his time, as well as those very "hard" scientific explanations. He also moved the setting from Germany to Japan.

The most significant change, though, is the main character in the book.

It turns out that the protagonist is actually the self-projection of Comrade Stiting, a golden bachelor, a charming middle-aged man, a hopeless taster and a gourmet. Even when he goes to an offshore drilling platform, he always carries with him high-quality red wine and cheese to accompany it.

The protagonist in Yuan's version of "The Group" is naturally ......

BINGO!

A young Japanese man who loves marine biology is named Shinji Ikati.

Ikari originally meant anchor, and it was just right to be the surname of the protagonist of a sci-fi film with the theme of sea creatures.

Shinji is the true heir, and naturally he is the true heir of the Japanese Empire.

This young man naturally had to come from a wealthy family, otherwise how could he have such spare time and small money to study marine life?

This young man is naturally an excellent scientist, otherwise there would be no way to become the protagonist of this one.

This young man is naturally smart, kind, and brave...... Anyway, it is a "tall collection" that concentrates a lot of excellent qualities. Maybe not that high, not that big, but certainly "complete".

His old man tasted the sweetness from little Morgan.

Since "Detective Poirot" can be written as "Detective Freeman", what is the problem of changing the handsome German middle-aged guy to a Japanese second-year teenager?

By the way, isn't Yuan Yanqian afraid of being accused of being a traitor by his fellow Seris?

It's 1921, 1921, 1921.

Truth be told, the Japanese people's view of the "Shina people" in these years was not as negative as it was later. In turn, the Seris did not regard Neon Gold as a mortal enemy who did not share the sky.

The evidence is that after the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923, the Beiyang government also called on all walks of life to donate and not boycott Japanese goods, and sent warships to transport military rations for first aid; The cultural circles organized charity performances, temples around the country prayed for Japan's blessings, businessmen donated money and food, and the first rescue ship to arrive at the shore was China's "Xinming".

Just imagine, during the 311 earthquake in 2011, if a large country in the East did the same, it would definitely be scolded by the people of the whole country.

As for why the "treasure island", which was killed by the Japanese hundreds of thousands, became the largest "donor" of the 311 earthquake...... It's a very big problem.

You must know that until the full-scale outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, there were many "Great Asianists" in the two countries. After the end of World War II, there were still people in the Japanese Communist Party who wanted the Japanese archipelago to become a province of Seris.

All in all, at least until the "Jinan Massacre" in 1927, Master Yuan did not have to worry that "The Crowd" would offend the political correctness of most of the people in Seris.

And at that time, he could completely say that he was too young, too simple Tucson, did not realize that the Japanese were so cruel, and then changed the protagonist of the book to Seris.

Attention, attention, attention, it's not that he doesn't know that in fact, Hirohito is the head of Japanese militarism, and the Sino-Japanese War was single-handedly promoted by this guy......

This oceanographer is the culprit responsible for the deaths of 35 million of his fellow Seris!

But if he doesn't brush up Hirohito's favorability, how can he become an old friend of the Japanese?

How will he influence the future political situation in Japan?

How could he let the Japanese crown prince become his "witness" and thus extract himself from this kidnapping case?

"Then Your Highness, I have retired."

Now that the goal has been achieved, Master Yuan got up and took his leave.

Resisting an impulse, he walked out of the reception room on crutches...... This impulse was to kill Hirohito directly in the here and now.

The crutch that Yuan Yanqian is on is actually a modified rifle!

But in the end, reason prevailed over emotion, and he did not die.

Our Master Yuan also glanced back at Hirohito, who was sitting upright, and the two of them naturally greeted each other when they met their eyes.

He smiled and nodded, and said secretly in his heart, I won't die this time, but I can let you, and your 100 million people, do a big death together!
