Chapter 148: A remake of The Martian?
At present, there are more than 70 caprice records in the black notebook, some are only a few dozen words, some are a little longer, but there are only hundreds of words, and a few thousand words or so.
As for the subject matter, it is even more varied, including lyrical poetry, feelings after reading a certain book, science fiction plot fragments, prose fragments, argumentative essay arguments, and even humorous jokes, characters and scenery description essays, it can be said that these things are very messy, almost thinking of something, I wrote it down casually.
For example, this "science fiction" tells the story of an astronaut with four companions, who landed on the moon base on the "Chang'e" spacecraft, and the next day, when the other four companions went out on a mission, they suddenly encountered a solar storm, thus losing contact with the base, and as the person in charge of staying behind, after learning all this, he suddenly fell into a confusion and even despair.
However, the plot came to an abrupt end at this point.
He Yun deliberately counted them, and he found that the whole article plus the punctuation marks added casually was a total of five hundred and fifty-three characters.
And in addition to such a "I don't know what to do" science fiction, there is another article that He Yun also finds more interesting.
He wrote: "A storm suddenly swept the Pacific coast, and the "Jiaolong No. 1" scientific research ship I was on encountered unprecedented challenges, fortunately, our scientific research ship finally withstood the test, but at the same time, we also lost our bearing, nanoscale satellite positioning failed, and the meter-wave radar was also destroyed by the storm, and we could only locate our position according to the most primitive positioning method."
"Half an hour later, we obtained the latest damage report of the research ship, and we found that all external contact was forcibly cut off in a way that we could not understand, and what frightened us even more was that at this moment, a translucent colorful light curtain appeared on the sea around the research ship......
Compared with the somewhat inexplicable "science fiction" written in the previous article, this one, the number of words is so long, with more than 590 characters.
In addition to the short number of words, He Yun also found that the two "science fiction" he wrote had many common flaws in the plot.
For example, he didn't write about the most basic element of science fiction, "environmental description".
There is also a description of time, one will be "one day in the future", and the other will be "2021"
I don't know what I thought when I wrote these two things?
Maybe at that time, I just came up with such a plot with a slap in my head and a flash of inspiration.
Or perhaps, when I was writing, something happened to happen suddenly, so I didn't have time to continue writing?
But no matter what, these two "science fiction" articles lack arms and legs, there is no doubt about it
Especially the previous article "Science Fiction", which is almost inexplicable.
Why did you write about the moon in the first place? Instead of Venus, Mars, Saturn, or even other planets and moons.
Can't we write about other stars?
Moreover, there is another point, he also can't figure it out, he actually wrote the protagonist's companions to death collectively.
In this way, doesn't it mean that there is only one person in the whole film?
So how should this be written?
Isn't it just writing about a person......
"Wait...... Heavenly body? Alone? Is it ......?"
At this moment, He Yun suddenly remembered a famous science fiction movie "The Martian" in the United States that he had watched in his previous life.
Compared with this sci-fi clip of his own, the two are very similar, except that one protagonist is on Mars and the other protagonist is on the moon.
"Could it be that when I first wrote it, I wrote such a thing with the movie in my head that I was referring to?"
After thinking about it for a while, He Yun didn't come up with a reason in the end.
After all, a long time had passed, and He Yun had not written the date on the back, so he could no longer remember how it was written at that time.
But it is estimated that it should be after writing "Dream of the Future" that I had a whim and wrote these two things.
Of course, none of the above is important to him now, and the most important thing now is whether he wants to continue to write these two incomplete "science fiction"?
After thinking about it, He Yun finally made a decision.
Write!
Must write!
Moreover, this time, he will no longer write according to the so-called "template", but will diverge his thinking, boldly imagine, and strive to write an original hard science fiction.
Do what you want, after He Yun made up his mind, he immediately put the notebook in the upper left corner of his body, and then, he found a few more pieces of manuscript paper, picked up the pen, lay on the table, and began to set a preliminary outline.
For the preliminary outline of this one, he is going to set it based on this fragmented "sci-fi fragment".
First of all, the core of the outline, of course, has to be placed on the word "rescue".
As for the time point, it is set to 2028, and he has stretched the timeline a little longer.
As for the flying machine that the protagonist and his companions are riding, it is naturally named "Chang'e".
After all, people or things related to the moon, everyone will think of "Chang'e to the moon" for the first time. In this way, it is natural and reasonable to name the vehicle after "Chang'e".
In this way, the landing vehicle was named "Jade Rabbit", which is basically the same as what is written in the notebook, and there are no major changes.
Now the most critical thing is the plot problem, and I have to spend a lot of effort on the setting.
"First of all, the cause and background of the matter must be explained clearly, and there must be no loopholes, and the logic must be rigorous."
After thinking about this for a while, He Yun had a hint of thought.
Didn't he write the sci-fi short story "Dream of the Future" before, so it might as well be set in the future world Star War.
Thinking of this, He Yun immediately wrote an empty line behind the words "Time: 2028" on the manuscript paper, and continued to write: "The three countries compete for space hegemony, country X is the first to land on Mars and establish a lunar base, M star is close behind, and country Z is not far behind, launching many spacecraft in 2025, and finally establishing a lunar base in 2028 Guanghan Palace......"
After writing down the approximate timeline, causes, and background on the manuscript paper, He Yun pondered for a while, and soon wrote a rough outline of the protagonist's arrival at the lunar base of country Z with his companions on the "Chang'e" 7 spacecraft.
Then comes the most important part of the plot.
He Yun pondered for a moment, then picked up the notebook again, silently read what was written on it a few times, and after repeated consideration, he left a blank line again and wrote on the manuscript paper......
