Chapter 184 183 "While we are alive, we must look at this planet and the starry sky above us."
Of course Fang Minghua didn't know that two future science fiction gods would read this novel and ignite the excitement in his heart. Team science fiction fire. At this time, he was sitting in the small courtyard of Song Tangtang's house.
Compared with ordinary family buildings, the Chinese-style courtyard does have many advantages, especially in summer, the pink roses on the wall of the courtyard bloom in full bloom. There are two rows of tomatoes planted in the vegetable patch next to them, and the red fruits are so bright.
Fang Minghua sat under the grape trellis in the southeast corner of the yard. There was a pot of herbal tea on the small table in front of him, and he was very comfortable drinking the tea.
Of course, he was not alone in the yard, there were two beautiful girls.
A short-haired girl wearing a blue suspender skirt and a white shirt was sitting on a small chair next to her, reading a magazine intently. She was Li Li.
It's summer vacation now, and she came back from Yanjing. Today is the weekend, so she came to her cousin's house to play. Her aunt and uncle are not at home, just the three young people.
Song Tangtang was wearing a white dress and a straw hat and was picking tomatoes by the yard. The tomatoes these days are picked and washed with water and can be eaten directly. They are sweet and sour.
She picked a plate of tomatoes, washed them under the tap, brought them over and fed Fang Minghua one, then placed it on the small table, then looked at her cousin sitting next to her who was reading the magazine intently and said: " Lili, stop reading and eat the tomatoes first.”
Li Li agreed, taking a tomato from the plate and chewing it slowly without taking her eyes off the magazine.
What she was reading was "Rural Teacher" published in "Science and Literature".
She rarely reads science fiction novels. This novel was recommended to her by Song Tangtang, of course because it was written by Fang Minghua.
After she finished reading it in one breath, she raised her head and looked at Fang Minghua: "Minghua, I really didn't expect that science fiction novels can be so touching and philosophical, as editor Yang Xiao said in this article What he said in the review:
“More precious than money is knowledge, more precious than knowledge is endless curiosity, and more precious than curiosity is the starry sky above our heads, and As we live, we must look at this planet and the starry sky above us. ”
This Yang Xiao is quite interesting. When this novel was published, a review of the novel was also attached, which was full of praise.
But Fang Minghua felt that Li Linian's passage was very well written.
As Maugham said in "The Moon and Sixpence": "We just pick up the sixpences at our feet, but don't forget to look up at the moon in the sky."
At this time, Song Tangtang also sat on the small stool next to him and said: "Lili, Minghua wants you to translate this novel into English."
After hearing this, Li Li turned her head and looked at Fang Minghua , a little unsure: "Can I do it?"
"Why not? You are Professor Xu Chong's apprentice and participated in the teacher's translation of Tang poetry. How come you can't translate a science fiction novel?" Fang Minghua said with a smile. .
This is what Li Li told them after she came back. This semester, under the leadership of her tutor, she participated in the translation of "One Hundred and Fifty Tang Poems", which will be published by Qin Provincial People's Publishing House.
"Okay, let me try." Li Li agreed.
"Li Li, I will pay you the translation fee in accordance with national regulations." Fang Minghua added.
As a result, Li Li rolled her eyes at him after hearing this: "I don't want your money."
"No, Li Li, after this article is translated, I will write a few more. .I can’t bear to let you do so much work for nothing.”
"Ah, you still want to write science fiction?"
"Yes! But they are not long, basically they are all novels, and the first draft has been completed."
"Have you finished writing it again? Then Can you let me take a look now?" Li Li suddenly became curious.
Fang Minghua was a little embarrassed after hearing this. "It hasn't been officially published yet. I want to revise it and give it to you after it is published."
"Let me take a look now." Li Li did not beg Fang Minghua but grabbed Song Tangtang's arm and said coquettishly: "Cousin, just show him to me, okay, cousin."
Song Tangtang was a little helpless, so she had no choice but to say to Fang Minghua: "Minghua, Lili is not an outsider, just let her see it in advance."
"Okay." Fang Minghua agreed. "Then, go get it now." Li Li said happily.
“Now?”
“Yes, I want to see it now. Your home is not far from here anyway.”
"Minghua, then you go back now and show it to Lili."
My girlfriend spoke, and Fang Minghua had no choice but to do as she was told, but the manuscript was still in the unit.
Forget it, ride there.
Half an hour later, Fang Minghua returned sweating profusely on his bicycle. Song Tangtang quickly brought him a wet towel to wipe his sweat.
"Thank you." Li Li said sweetly, took the manuscript handed over by Fang Minghua, and sat under the grapevine to read it carefully.
The name is very scary:
"Solar Catastrophe"!
It tells the story of a rescue team composed of eight scientists and astronauts who rekindle the dying sun and save the earth.
Fang Minghua is a novel adapted from a space disaster science fiction film and television series released by Searchlight Company after the millennium.
In the middle of the 21st century AD, scientists have confirmed that the sun, the "source of life" on which mankind depends for survival, has gradually lost its energy to illuminate all things and has entered a terrible stage of exhaustion ahead of schedule.
The earth will be frozen due to lack of light energy, and all human beings will be on the verge of extinction. For the insignificant human beings, this is tantamount to the early arrival of a terrible disaster.
So, humans organized a "Sun Rescue Team" consisting of eight people. Take a spaceship called Blue Space and quickly rush towards the scorching sun. Their mission is to deliver nuclear warheads and re-ignite the dying sun.
However, Fang Minghua replaced the original American protagonist in the movie with a Chinese scientist.
Li Li looked at it seriously.
After reading it, I couldn’t help but admire: "Wow Minghua, your writing is so wonderful! Do you think it is really so scary? Will the sun really go out?"
"Yes, but that will be billions of years later." Fang Minghua replied with a smile: This is science fiction, so don't take it seriously. "Fang Minghua said with a smile.
"Then you say, if according to the description in the novel, if it is not set on fire and it really dies, what will humans do? Isn’t that going to perish? "Li Li suddenly asked a question.
Song Tangtang listened and looked at Fang Minghua.
Fang Minghua smiled slightly.
"The sun is dead? Then humans just run away. ”
"How to run? In a spaceship like the Blue Space? How many ships are there?" Li Li asked innocently.
“Don’t bother, just run with the earth.”
“Huh?!”
The two girls were stunned by Fang Minghua’s whimsical idea.
"Minghua, why are you running away with the earth?" Li Li asked impatiently.
But Fang Minghua didn't say anything.
Let it be left to Liu to write it himself.
