March 7.

A huge stage has been set up next to the Ciyun Mountain Library in Shanmei City, and the staff is debugging the equipment.

Today is the event site of the first science fiction literature selection event held by Thinking.com-Galaxy Awards.

The science fiction writers who were invited over were already chatting in groups, and there were also a large number of local book friends at the scene.

Fortunately, the writers have identity cards, otherwise it would be embarrassing to be present, they know each other relatively little, except for Lao Wang and He Xi, who have been more famous before, most of the others have just become writers, and it is very normal not to know each other.

And there are many news media, although science fiction literature is not mainstream, and it is not as popular as other online novels, but science fiction has the characteristics of science fiction, not to mention the 10 million award, which is enough to attract a large number of news media to come and dig up news.

"Mr. He Xi, can you give me an autograph?"

"No problem."

"The author of the Cretaceous past......"

"Li Wen is so handsome......"

A group of book friends were excitedly discussing around, some taking photos with the author, and some looking for the author's autograph.

In March, Lingnan is sunny and the temperature is pleasant, and although it is an open field, everyone feels very comfortable.

Those news media reporters are also discussing the winners of the Galaxy Award, but the internal secrecy of this matter is very strict within the thinking network, and no news has been leaked.

Ten o'clock.

Huang Mingzhe and Zhang Hanqing arrived at the center of the venue, and among the people who came to the venue today, there were more than a dozen official personnel, such as the Shanmei Writers' Association, the mayor of the city, and others.

After a few words of greeting, Zhang Hanqing took the stage.

"Welcome to all audience friends, author friends, and leaders, to participate in today's ......" After a few minutes of clichés, he entered the topic:

"I now announce the winners of the first Galaxy Awards."

Immediately, the audience, writers, and media present were all attentive.

"The winner of the gold award for novels is ......" Zhang Hanqing stretched his tone: "The Cretaceous Past, congratulations to Mr. Zhang Haiyang, please come to the stage to receive the award." ”

Bang Bang Bang ...... Immediately, the audience applauded.

A young man in his twenties with glasses, who walked up to the podium with excitement, was Zhang Haiyang, the author of Once Upon a Time in the Cretaceous, a graduate student in paleontology.

Huang Mingzhe also walked on the podium with a smile, and the staff took the medal and the 10 million bonus check in their hands, and walked to the excited Zhang Haiyang.

"Congratulations, the Cretaceous past is like an ancient epic, a perfect combination of popular science and science fiction, I hope you can bring more rationality to the world." Huang Mingzhe handed over the check.

Zhang Haiyang took it with trembling hands, he never thought that he would win this 10 million award: "Thank you very much Mr. Huang." ”

Huang Mingzhe put on a medal for him, a solid gold medal, engraved with [Rational Science Imaginist—2012.03.07] on the front and [Cretaceous Past - Zhang Haiyang] on the back.

Each medal is unique, and Think.com is specially customized for each winner.

Next, Zhang Haiyang made an impromptu acceptance speech.

Then Zhang Hanqing announced a series of awards such as the Silver and Bronze Awards for Novels, and a series of awards for novellas, short stories, and Best Newcomer Awards.

Although there are only 22 winners, the lowest has a prize of 30,000 yuan (Bronze Award for Short Stories).

This result has made many people's blood gutting.

Platforms such as Thinking.com, Penguin, and Douyin broadcast the award ceremony live, and those online media also quickly released their releases.

……

Netizens are also very much looking forward to this time Galaxy Awards, when Huang Mingzhe handed the gold award and the check to the winner, the huge prize money ignited human greed.

This is exactly Huang Mingzhe's goal, to make science fiction literature the mainstream, and to use rational literature to guide the social atmosphere.

Although those entertainment stars and Tanmei romances are still the mainstream, favored by those companies and capital in the entertainment industry, at least rational science fiction is growing day by day.

After a long time in the impetuous lights, people yearn for the idyllic and natural life; In a society that indulges in entertainment to death, the light of science fiction brings new thinking and presents another different world to the public.

For example, Da Liu, Lao Wang, and He Xi's science fiction works have brought a lot of thinking.

For the self-reflection of human civilization, many things will be repeated one by one one one by one in the future, which is the most ruthless mockery of human civilization.

In that last period of time, Huang Mingzhe browsed science fiction works, and found that human beings were repeating mistakes one after another, and happy quality education brought sheep, triggering a wave of anti-intellectualism in which human beings regressed themselves.

The blood-sucking tumor and the black hands buried humanity in eternal darkness.

Huang Mingzhe has been investigating some things, but the black hand is too hidden, he only knows that after 2020, it seems that there is a black hand deliberately inducing human society.

It's a pity that he still hasn't found any trace of the black hand, but at least he knows that there are traces of these people in the country, but they have been disguised and have been secretly operating all over the world.

After the collapse of the apocalypse, he was attacked by the other party in the ruins of Yangcheng, and that symbol has always been remembered by him.

A symbol that looked like a G was in the middle, and on the outside was a ring with some English letters carved on it, but he didn't see it all after he was attacked.

However, Huang Mingzhe believes that as long as the ghost continues to monitor the world's network, the mastermind behind the scenes will be revealed sooner or later, after all, they have gradually become active after 2020, and nothing can be completely airtight.

……

The Galaxy Awards have come to an end.

Huang Mingzhe did not return to CUHK immediately, but asked Zhang Shihe to drive to the Materials Research Institute in Haicheng County.

These days, the newly established Shenguang Instrument Company is also nearby.

Inside the laboratory.

Ma Zhili and the others were testing some materials, but Huang Mingzhe didn't bother them, but called up the computer's experiment log and browsed it.

Half an hour later, Ma Zhili finished the experiment.

"President."

Huang Mingzhe raised his head: "Old horse, pay attention to rest." ”

"Thank you for your concern."

"Have you screened out the right materials?" Huang Mingzhe asked.

Ma Zhili hurriedly replied: "Three X-ray photoresists have been screened, but they can only be considered qualified temporarily, and the highest one can be completely decomposed in about 157 seconds." ”

"It's too long, as close as possible to within 10 seconds, and I took a look at the energy level, which is a bit higher."

"I know this, and I'm slowly sifting through other materials, but sometimes material research and development is really lucky." Ma Zhili replied helplessly.

"What about the convex lens material?" Huang Mingzhe then asked.

Ma Zhili shook his head: "It's difficult, two materials are screened, but the focusing efficiency is less than one thousandth, which leads to the lack of X-ray power and energy level, and those wasted X-rays also cause lithography interference." ”

Huang Mingzhe was not discouraged: "Take your time, the direction and technology are there." ”
