North China Water Resources Institute, male dormitory building.
When Liu Cixin got "Science Fiction World", he did not watch "Midnight Ring" immediately, nor did he watch "Artificial Intelligence".
Attention was suddenly drawn to "Comment on New Bacteria
Not only because "Collapse of the Universe" was written by myself, but also because the comments were actually written by Teacher Fang.
Just like an unknown scientific research dog, one day his paper will be personally reviewed by the academician Tianzun, and the whole person will be so happy, not to mention that the concept of "hard science fiction" mentioned in the article seems to give him a path to success. Science fiction literature has opened a new door.
"Science fiction writers have an identity embarrassment, that is, they are often confused with scientists."
"The problem lies in the classification of science fiction literature. Except for 'hard science fiction' based on scientific theories, In addition, there are also 'soft science fiction' created by borrowing science fiction elements or science fiction background settings, and 'pseudo science fiction' that is completely beyond logic and common sense..."
Read it from beginning to end, over and over again. With.
Especially when I read Dialect’s evaluation of "Collapse of the Universe", "The author has a wild imagination. Although the novel is a little rough, the writing is a little immature, and the writing style is a little rough, the overall A style with a grand layout, grandeur, and a broad vision!”
For a moment, my heart is full of joy, and I feel the happiness breathing from every pore.
Teacher Fang praised me!
Teacher Fang praised me for writing science fiction novels!
Just when Liu Cixin was in a daze, there were bursts of footsteps in the corridor.
At the same time, there were men from science and engineering on the same floor talking enthusiastically about the latest issue of "Science Fiction World".
“After waiting for a month, I have waited for the update of "Midnight Ring"."
"How dare you watch "The Ring" this late at night? Aren't you afraid that Sadako will get into your bed in the middle of the night?"
"What are you afraid of? I have practiced qigong! I will ward off all evil!"< br>
"What are the evils to do? Sadako is not a ghost, but a legend in the virtual world." The deadly virus spread to the real world, practicing qigong has a use!"
"..."
"Compared with "The Ring", I think "Artificial Intelligence" written by Teacher Fang "Smart" is even more exciting, especially the technological products inside."
"Teacher Fang has released another new work?!"
There was an excitement outside the room, and Liu Cixin was also excited, and his attention immediately shifted to "The Ring".
The magnificent and magical plot and the wild imagination kept lingering in his mind, gradually becoming as if he were actually there.
Mobile phones, computers, the Internet, new energy vehicles, artificial intelligence, etc. In short, whether it is science fiction elements and science and technology that have been heard of or not heard of, one stream of information is like Like firecrackers, they exploded in the brain one after another.
"Lights out! Lights out!"
Accompanied by a sudden roar, the lights above the head suddenly went out, and the surroundings were filled with darkness.
After Liu Cixin watched "Artificial Intelligence", he felt a little empty in his heart. He did not go to bed immediately, but came to the window sill.
Looking up, I saw the deep and boundless starry sky.
Suddenly, it felt like everything around me disappeared, and the ground under my feet turned into a pure geometric plane that stretched infinitely, white and smooth.
On this infinitely vast two-dimensional plane, under the magnificent starry sky, I stand alone, facing alone the mysterious and huge universe that humans currently cannot grasp. When will I be able to be like Fang? Why did the teacher write such a good science fiction novel like that?
The night at this time was like thick ink, too deep to be dissolved.
Black, so damn dark!
Teacher Fang was not born in heaven, and science fiction literature would last forever like a long night!
Not only Liu Cixin, but also Zheng Yuanjie, who lives in Tongzi Tower in Yanjing, also holds the same idea.
With one hand holding the latest issue of "Science Fiction World" and the other hand shaking the crib, my son who had just turned one year old was drowsy in it.
"This is a bit like the story of Pinocchio turning into a human being."
As a children's writer, the more he looks at "Artificial Intelligence", the more it feels like "Pinocchio".
With the help of the Blue Fairy, Pinocchio finally became a human after going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers. And "Beibei" in "Artificial Intelligence", after listening to his mother's narration of "Pinocchio" With the story of "The Legend", he embarked on an adventurous journey to find the Blue Fairy.
"Children will definitely like such a fairy tale-like science fiction novel." "Teacher Fang is indeed Teacher Fang, who can think of such a story."
"For my 'Pipiru' and 'Lu Xixi', do you want to learn from the companion robots in the novel?"
Zheng Yuanjie was thinking in his mind as he turned to the last page of "Artificial Intelligence".
That’s it?
That’s it?
Teacher Fang is too extravagant. If it were him, he would have to arrange "Beibei's" adventure as fully as in "Gulliver's Travels", for no other reason.
You can earn more royalties!
The literary world is full of contempt. If science fiction can only be ranked at the bottom of literature, then children's literature can only be placed at the children's table, and the manuscript fee is also the lowest among literary genres. First gear, too low to be lower.
Even if I write a series of fairy tales for 16 different newspapers and magazines at the same time, writing hundreds of thousands of words a month, and receiving more than a dozen letters from children every day, the fee is still a thousand words. 2 yuan, and even the standard for manuscript fees has increased, but I have never paid a penny.
Zheng Yuanjie looked at the densely packed words of "Artificial Intelligence" and realized that the royalties for this novel were more than what he earned from more than a dozen novels!
Am I not as diligent as Teacher Fang?
Or do readers not like the fairy tales I write?
How about submitting your manuscript to "Science Fiction World"?
Looking at his sleeping son again, Zheng Yuanjie felt that he had to fight for royalties and treatment for himself.
Parents who love their children have far-reaching plans.
As long as it is related to children’s education, parents are 100% willing to spend money. There are also all kinds of children’s literature publications these days, and sales remain high, such as "Childhood", "Children", "Children's Illustrated", " Humor Master"......
"Artificial Intelligence" is a science fiction novel aimed at children and teenagers. It is naturally suitable for all ages and has been widely praised.
For a time, the sales of "Science Fiction World" magazine skyrocketed, and supply exceeded demand.
Even the post offices in southern Yunnan, three northeastern provinces and other provinces and cities even sent urgent telegrams to the post offices and the Writers' Association of Sichuan and Sichuan because they did not have reservations.
Some readers from other places couldn’t buy it, so they had to ask friends living in Chengdu to buy it.
The publisher of "Science Fiction World" is very busy, and the dialect is also troubled by newspaper reporters and editors.
It has developed to the point where it has blocked the Humanities Society, Nanluoguxiang, Shichahai and other places, so just wait and see.
With no choice but to take a walk, Fang Xiaojiang saw a little boy on the roadside grabbing his mother's skirt and crying loudly.
"I want a tin frog, mom, buy me a frog!"
"Why are you so ignorant? If you do this again, mom won't like you."
“I want this, I want to buy that!”
"If you keep making trouble, I won't want you anymore. I'll buy an obedient robot child like Beibei."
Faced with a boy who is crying, making trouble, and rolling on the ground, a woman She didn't coddle him either. She put her hands on her hips and kept a straight face.
Looking at this posture, Fang Yan couldn't help but think of the scene between Crayon Shin-chan and Mei Ya, and couldn't help but raise a smile.
Once a child reaches the age where he is looked down upon by others, he can often hear his parents say in a threatening tone:
“You picked it up from the trash can. If you don’t obey me, , and throw it into the garbage heap for you!”
Or, "If you jump out of the cracks in the rocks, if you don't obey me, I will throw you into a mountain full of rocks!"
But since the publication of "Artificial Intelligence", the rhetoric has become "You You are just a robot child. If you continue to disobey, I will throw you away and replace you with a robot child." "I don't want you anymore, I still want an obedient and sensible 'Beibei'," etc.
"Beibei" suddenly became what parents call "other people's children", and also became the most hated person among children!
There is even a rumor that hearing the name "Beibei" can stop children from crying at night!
The dialect was just a joke. I hid in a courtyard in the newly cleaned Yonghegong Street and devoted myself to collecting manuscripts for the new magazine "The World of Reasoning" until dusk. At that time, as the sun was setting, I drove back to Yandai Xiejie.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Gong Cie wearing an apron, carrying dishes with both hands, and walking out of the kitchen:
"You came back just in time!"
