Chapter 12 "Kuala Lumpur Past" and contribution
Samad's strong extremist temperament made Chen Yuanguang wary.
Based on his status, Samad does not look like a loser. It can only be said that the path the other party believes in is inconsistent with the reality led by Alpha.
Regarding what Samad said, Chen Yuanguang could roughly understand the core of the concept expounded by the other party. Being too restricted has no room for imagination, and human beings have lost their upward motivation.
As a time traveler who can travel back and forth between the two worlds, Chen Yuanguang is not too worried about this problem. There are many life experiences that he cannot experience in the future that he can experience in modern society.
Therefore, Chen Yuanguang would also talk about these things in subsequent contacts with Samad, but most of the time he would listen to what the other party said, and he did not like to express his opinions.
After reading some future science fiction mystery works, some of which were written by AI and some written by real people, Samad recommended them to him.
Chen Yuanguang made a literary treatment of what happened to him and wrote "Detective Kuala Lumpur".
“The writing has no charm, the emotions are barely delicate, but the characters are too dry. The most important reasoning technique in science fiction mystery works can only be said to be logical and self-consistent, without any new ideas at all, Yuan Guang, to be honest I think it's not as good as AI." Samad sighed.
Samad saw that this old friend, whom he could rarely chat with, did not have much talent in literary creation.
In this era, if you want to become famous through literary creation, what you need to consider is not defeating your competitors, but defeating AI. This requires very high talent. Samad believes that Chen Yuanguang obviously does not have this level of talent.
They have discussed this work many times. Samad knew at a glance that this was a real case change, but Chen Yuanguang did not say anything, so he pretended not to know.
After going back and forth many times, I finally got this evaluation from Samad.
Chen Yuanguang thought to himself, this is enough. Originally, when I got Hyundai, I also participated in the Science Fiction Rising Stars Competition. The Science Fiction Rising Stars Competition decided that the contestants would not be big names.
For Samad, logical self-consistency, four hundred years ago, was full of novel meaning and a perfect logical closed loop.
Taking it back to participate in the Sci-Fi Rising Stars Competition is not just a matter of holding it in hand.
With this idea in mind, he logged into the official website of Science Fiction World to submit articles, and casually gave himself a pen name of 2477, which is the year in future time and space converted according to the old calendar.
After Chen Yuanguang submitted the manuscript, all he had to do was wait, prepare for the prerequisite exams required to go abroad in modern time and space, and do the topics assigned to him by Pangu in the future.
He had no idea about that topic at all, and Chen Yuanguang didn’t dare to discuss it with professors in related fields in the school. This kind of topic is equivalent to a path to enlightenment. After discussing with the professor, the other party will directly use it. Do it first What to do when the results come out?
So in the future, he will read a large amount of literature on the topic and use computers to simulate some results to find ideas.
Chen Yuanguang felt that he had never been so fulfilled.
He originally thought that his senior year life would be extremely leisurely, writing four thousand words every day to satisfy readers, and the remaining 20 hours were all his own. He had completed all the courses he should take, so he used the 20 hours Have fun.
As a result, he was fully scheduled for 24 hours.
Fang Ning is an editor of Science Fiction World. He joined Science Fiction World magazine after graduating from college. He is also the preliminary judge in charge of this Science Fiction Rising Star Competition.
“These are the last few days, and it’s finally coming to an end.” Fang Ning opened the backend of the official website. He didn’t have too many expectations for the submissions in these few days.
Because this is the tenth edition of the Sci-Fi Rising Stars Competition, they have devoted a lot of resources. The first prize alone is worth 50,000 yuan. You must know that the prize for the Galaxy Award for Best Novel is only 100,000 yuan.
So there are a lot of submissions, and Fang Ning, as an editor, has to deal with daily submissions as well as submissions for the Science Fiction Rising Stars Competition. He has been working intensively for a long time.
"Gift from the Gods"
"The Last Architect" "Light Year War"
Fang Ning felt that the square characters were occupying his entire brain, and when he saw the characters on the screen connected together, he almost no longer recognized the characters.
"Huh." Fang Ning got up and went outside to make a cup of coffee and breathe in the fresh air. The smog in the Shu capital became particularly sweet.
"One, two, three, four." Fang Ning counted the manuscripts in the background, "There are only five articles left, okay, okay."
"Kuala Lumpur Past, 2477", Fang Ning When Ning saw the title and the author's name, he thought: "Another unknown title and a pretentious pen name."
"Mr. Lin, do you know what happened recently on the winding mountain road outside Kek Lok Temple?" Was there a car accident? ”
This science fiction mystery novel written by Chen Yuanguang unfolds from the perspective of Lin Ran being interrogated by the police, and finally discovers the real murderer through a detective named Li Zhongliu.
Fang Ning quickly became immersed in the story and was still thinking about it after reading it, "What was Lin Ran's final ending, and what was the fate of the director who led all this to happen?"
Semi-open ended The ending left Fang Ning with a feeling of unfinished business.
"Recommend" After Fang Ning clicked on the recommendation, he saw from the background that this novel had been recommended by three other editors.
They belong to the first round of review and adopt a cross-review system. As long as one editor thinks it is good, they can enter the next round of review. In the next round, all the preliminary review judges will sit together to look at these works. , select the works that enter the final review.
The first review judges are not only the editors within the science fiction world, but also people from sponsors, university professors, young science fiction writers, etc.
The final review will be made by well-known domestic writers and some scholars.
Fang Ning turned sideways and asked Chen Hui next to him: "Huizi, how did you feel after reading Kuala Lumpur's Past? I suspect that the old author has a new vest to submit."
Chen Hui It was another editor who also recommended it after "Kuala Lumpur Past".
Chen Hui shook his head: "Are there any veteran authors in China who are good at writing science fiction mysteries?
It doesn’t seem like that. Instead, I think it’s a newcomer. Isn’t it normal for a talented newcomer to suddenly appear?
The writing is sophisticated, the descriptions are precise, there are many perspective switches but there is no messy feeling. What I find most amazing is that its reasoning is very well combined with the future world. The logic is self-consistent. I can’t find too many loopholes.
If no better work comes out in the next few days, I think this is the best submission I have ever seen. "
Chen Hui gave a higher evaluation.
Fang Ning agreed: "I think so too.
After the preliminary selection meeting is over, we can contact the author first, and whether he wins or not, he can publish it in the subsequent science fiction world. "
Chen Hui said: "How can we not win the award? We are the organizer, not the Goose Factory. There are not so many shady things.
Even if a better work comes out later, he will definitely have no problem winning the second prize. ”
