Chapter 85: What About Challenging the World for You (2)
Standing in a quieter place on the edge of the school newsstand, Gu Mengxue's eyes were misty, and what flashed in her mind was the conversation between Junxin and her at lunch not long ago.
"Mengxue, how are you preparing?" Junxin put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked indifferently.
"Prepare what?" Gu Mengxue asked suspiciously.
Junxin did not answer directly, but asked: "If there is a great scientist, that is, everyone agrees that the great scientist is against science fiction, then how should you deal with it?" ”
"Why?" Gu Mengxue was not surprised, but asked very calmly.
"I had a discussion with Professor Hu about science fiction, and it can be seen that he is not very in favor of the impact of science fiction on science, in fact, there are many professors who hold the same view as him, and most of them are professors and scholars from our Mizuki University." Junxin patiently explained.
"Science fiction should be literature, right?" Gu Mengxue casually put the bangs behind her and asked in a calm tone.
"The war between science fiction writers and popular science writers is not a day or two, and during this period, the writers' association is more likely to move a stool to sit and watch the play, obviously without the idea of including science fiction in the circle of literary works." After a pause, Jun Xin explained, "In my understanding, in the eyes of people like Professor Hu, Professor Cheng, Professor Liang, etc., science fiction is a kind of nonsense that does not conform to reality, and it does not play a role in promoting science at all, but will teach the people badly, so it adopts a kind of resistance to science fiction. Perhaps also influenced by Mizuki University's unique serious, practical style, they don't like exaggeration and ideas that exceed scientific estimates. ”
"So I'm going to face their reproaches, right?" Gu Mengxue said very calmly.
Jun Xin shook his head and said: "The reason why I talked to Professor Hu about science fiction is that I have actually made an outpost for you, and persuaded Professor Hu, Professor Zhou and other professors who are more familiar with me, but I don't know what other people will think." ”
"That is, Mizuki University actually doesn't have to think about it, and they will also object to me?" The corners of Gu Mengxue's eyes jumped, and there was a little joy in her tone.
"Well, I think I still have a little influence at Mizuki University, but if I can't calm down the upcoming turmoil as soon as possible, I'm not sure if Mizuki University will participate in this turmoil."
Gu Mengxue smiled and said, "It's enough to have your words." After a pause, Gu Mengxue put down the chopsticks in her hand, leaned on the back of the chair and said slowly, "Don't forget that I am also a student of Mizuki University, and I know much more about things in the literary world than you do." I also know better than you what the current state of science fiction looks like. ”
"So you have a countermeasure, right?" After hearing Gu Mengxue's words, Junxin relaxed and asked with a smile.
"Hmm!" Gu Mengxue nodded and said, "I just said the sentence "This seems to be a matter in the literary world", which actually explains what I want to do. ”
"Do you want to pull the traditional literary world into the turmoil and force the traditional literary community to recognize the literary value of science fiction?" Junxin's eyes lit up, and he seemed to grasp Gu Mengxue's thoughts.
"As you like, you can indeed guess what I think." Gu Mengxue nodded and said.
"You're saying so obvious, if I can't guess, it's a bit of a stretch."
The two joked for a while, and then Junxin changed the topic and said, "But if you want to drag the traditional literary world into the water, I'm afraid it's not easy, right?" Junxin expressed the doubts in his heart.
"You've inspired me!" Gu Mengxue said with a smile.
"Me?"
"That's right! Some of the ideas you gave me, and I pondered the writing of a few novels, but in fact, for me, I am not a professional science fiction writer after all, so everything I envision comes from you, but because I am not a traditional science fiction writer, my writing methods and ways of thinking are from classical literature. ”
"In classical literature, the great writer of the Tang Dynasty, a generation of scholars, Han Yu, once said that writing articles requires something to say, so there is a saying that the text carries the Tao. Bai Juyi also once said that songs and poems are written for things, and articles are written for time. So the subject matter of my writing is still more in line with the things in classical literature. ”
"Chaowen Dao" is written about a group of people in order to know the truth, knowing that they will die, and they must also understand things, which is in line with people's traditional cognition, Chaowen Dao, and the saying that death can be carried out, this is clearly written science fiction, in fact, it is indeed written by a group of scientists who pursue the truth without regard for themselves, and the implied meaning is the eulogy of people who insist on the truth and pursue light in the **** era. This finds a balance between popular science and literature. ”
"Well, you have a point!" Jun Xin nodded, he didn't expect Gu Mengxue to have such considerations.
"Next up will be the novel 'The Country Teacher'. There isn't much to cover in this novel, just a Newton's three laws. However, the main theme of the novel is that without the idea of the village teacher to teach a little more, then the civilization of the earth would have really been ruined. What extends from this is a reflection on the education system of the **** era. ”
"Things like these are more or less embodied in novels such as "Microcontinuity Theory", "Chinese Sun" and so on. I don't think there is such a narrative style and writing technique in science fiction now, so it will undoubtedly be closer to literature than other science fiction works. So, as long as you do it properly, if you want to gain the support of the literary world, I think you can still give it a try. ”
"You can give it a try, but it's also a difficult process, right?"
"Hehe, Junxin, since I can be admitted to Mizuki University, then I am confident that I have the ability to solve this kind of thing, don't forget, I was the first in the liberal arts to enter Mizuki University." Gu Mengxue smiled confidently.
Jun Xin laughed: "Since you are ready, then my words on my side will not drag you back." Since you can handle the affairs of the literary world, then the doubts about science fiction in the scientific world will also be solved by my own methods. ”
"How do you solve it?" Gu Mengxue asked curiously.
"Hehe, the common method of scientists is naturally to use the scientific method. All they question is that the things in science fiction are cranky, and then I prove that these things are not the result of so-called crankiness, but have a strict scientific basis. ”
"This ...... No way? Although Gu Mengxue doesn't understand science, she has been with Junxin for a long time, and naturally she has heard some scientific things, so her attitude towards science has stayed on the word "rigorous".
"There's always a connection!" Junxin didn't look at Gu Mengxue anymore, but looked at the blue sky outside the window, and said in a leisurely tone, "Just like some research results in mathematics seem to have nothing to do with physics, but sometimes they are important structures that can be used to solve physical models..."
