A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 336: He single-handedly raised Chinese science fiction literature to the world level! A phenomenal science fiction book appeared!

According to the level of science fiction writers in various countries around the world, the ranking of countries from high to low in terms of hard science fiction strength is:
US, Japan, UK, France
In order to shine in this world science fiction writing competition, the United States invited three science fiction masters who are famous in the world science fiction field.

The first one is Hayden Christopher from Stanford College of Arts, who is known as the rising star of North American science fiction. This science fiction master is about the same age as Jiang Hai, only 27 years old, but in terms of his achievements in science fiction literature, he is definitely in a class of his own!
He once subverted human's fantasy about prehistoric civilization with a book called "The Lost Atlantis". The novel settings about the prehistoric world in the book are still shocking. It was also because of this book that he won the 27th Hugo Literature Award.

He became the youngest science fiction writer to have won the Hugo Award!

The second is Benjamin Jonathan from Harvard Engineering School, who is known as the god of modern science fiction in the North American literary world. Even though Benjamin is over 50 years old this year, his old body has not restrained his imagination. The "A Brief History of Black Holes" he co-authored with the late scientist Hawking is known as a science fiction history textbook.

In addition, a series of science fiction books known for their curiosity, such as "Death on Venus" and "Revealing the Truth of the Bermuda Triangle", were all written by this writer and sold all over the world, with a total sales volume of over 100 million copies. It is also based on this -

Benjamin Jonathan is known as the most popular best-selling author of modern science fiction literature!
The third one is Andrew Christopher, who is known as the godfather of hardcore science fiction in North America. Andrew does not belong to any famous university in the United States because he is directly affiliated with a mysterious organization under the jurisdiction of the federal government.

Area 51!
Andrew once created a science fiction book called District 13 based on District 51, which shocked the world. The book contains a detailed description of alien creatures, which made many readers sigh:

"Are you describing science fiction or recording reality?"

It is no exaggeration to say that these three leading figures in the field of science fiction are qualified to sit on the jury and comment on the contestants in any science fiction competition.

Who would have thought that today.
These three people actually entered this world science fiction writing competition as contestants?
"The Americans really take this science fiction essay contest very seriously."

Inside the castle, dining area.

Yan Ruyu sat in the center of the venue, holding a tablet in her hand. She frowned and kept swiping through the information of the writers participating in the competition.

"Any one of these three people would be a strong contender for the championship of this science fiction writing competition!"

"Normally, if you want to see these three people, you have to make an appointment six months in advance. It's not easy to see them even once."

"Who would have thought that today would be so sudden"

"Only three of you came?"

On the table.

Song Shiqing, who was sitting next to Yan Ruyu, casually put a mouthful of pasta into his mouth. He looked up at her as if he was quite helpless:

"Before I came here, I was still wondering if there would be a miracle."

"After coming"

"My fantasy was shattered!"

Let me give you an appropriate example to describe the current situation:

American science fiction is like the five-star Brazil in football. From defenders to forwards to goalkeepers, they are all the best in the world. In their prime, even Neymar had to sit on the water dispenser as a substitute. After all, the forwards ahead of him include Pele, Romario, Ronaldo, Kaka.
Looking back at Chinese science fiction literature, its current situation is the same as that faced by the Chinese national football team.

One has no productive soil.

Second, there is no star player.

Do you expect a team of young masters who grew up in a greenhouse and ate sea cucumbers and sleeping powder all year round to confront the five-star Brazil team at its peak?
How many points will this result be?
Ten to zero?
"There are a total of ten science fiction writers from the United States." Song Shiqing's face was full of helplessness. Although he was unwilling, he had no choice. "Among these ten participating writers, even Amelia, who ranked last, is someone we can't afford to mess with."

"If someone pulls out a low-quality horse, even if it's our top-quality horse, they can just come and crush us."

"That's it, you still want to compete?"

"That's it, and you still want to compete with others?"

Having said this, Song Shiqing sighed as if he had completely lost confidence:

"Stop dreaming and go to sleep"

Strictly speaking, each country can only have ten contestants participating in the World Science Fiction Writing Contest.

The United States is, and so is China.

Accompanying personnel like Yan Ruyu and Song Shiqing cannot be called contestants, they can only be called witnesses.

Commonly known
Cheerleading?
They do not participate in direct creation. Their role here is to supervise the fairness of the competition and ensure that the judges will not be partial or abuse their power.

Song Shiqing, a literary genius known as "the two most outstanding talents" at Tsinghua University, also has his own pride.

However, even such a gifted man, after seeing the current situation.
That also means he was beaten to a pulp?
Even so, he knew that Song Shiqing was trying to boost others' morale and destroy his own prestige.

only.
It seems that I really can't find any reason to refute him?
"The opponent is indeed very strong." Yan Ruyu put down the tablet in her hand, raised her beautiful eyes, and looked at the real-time surveillance in the center of the hall. "However, we must have confidence in the comrades participating in the competition and not complain about ourselves."

“Even if we lose, we have to be able to afford to lose.”

Just as the two were talking.

Inside the restaurant.

The accompanying staff of the writers' delegations from various countries began a complex and heated discussion on this World Science Fiction Writing Competition.

Through surveillance, I saw writers from various countries immersed in their own world and devoted to their creation.

Suddenly someone couldn't help but comment:

"Who do you think will be the winner of this science fiction writing competition?"

“Will he be the first writer to submit a manuscript?”

As soon as these words came out, someone immediately took over the conversation:
"Does this need to be said?"

"Which writer writes the best work? We can't make a conclusion until the results come out, but we have to talk about the speed of creation."

“That has to be Japan’s Yoshida Shoichi!”

The speaker is a traveling writer from Japan.

When he mentioned this name, there was an unconcealable pride on his face:

"Yoshida Shoichi, he is the direct disciple of our Japanese science fiction master Xing Xinyi. He is the same as teacher Xing Xinyi-"

"He's a well-known fast-shooter, famous for his creative speed!"

"In terms of the quality of the work, there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people, so I can't comment, but in terms of the speed of submission, it must be Yoshida Shoichi"

As soon as the words fell, an accompanying writer from the United States immediately refuted, his words full of arrogance:
"I admit that Yoshida Shoichi is indeed fast, but have you forgotten that our American sci-fi rising star Hayden Christopher was famous for his quality and efficiency?"

"Hayden Christopher, in less than a month—"

“I wrote three science fiction short stories in a row!”

"With this kind of creative efficiency, how can Yoshida Shoichi compare?"

One stone caused a thousand waves!

All of a sudden, many accompanying authors from various countries began to join the dispute.

Some people believe that the United States is a well-deserved science fiction power. Even if we ignore the quality of its works and only talk about its creative efficiency, it is something that writers from small countries cannot even approach.

Some people also believe that in terms of creative speed, Japanese writers are never inferior to American writers.

Of course, some people think that if you put aside the quality of the work, then the author who submitted the manuscript first.
Why not us, France?

"Our French science fiction literature is not weak at all"

Just when everyone was talking about it.

The Chinese writers' delegation who were watching the game nearby suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

You mean joining the discussion?

seemingly
Are there really not many outstanding science fiction writers in China?
If you join the discussion:
“I think our Chinese so-and-so is pretty good too.”

Others responded with:
"Who is this person you are talking about?"

"I haven't even heard of this person's name. He is at best a third-rate author. How can the things written by these third-rate authors in a hurry be compared with the works carefully researched by our science fiction masters?"

“You don’t think that when we say we don’t care about the quality of our work, we really don’t care about it at all.”

If someone deliberately challenges you like this, would you really have no way to refute it?

But if you don't want to talk, just sit there.
Is it indeed a bit embarrassing?
While others were discussing it enthusiastically, the Chinese accompanying writers were focusing on one thing.
Silence?

"Why don't you talk? Don't you like talking?"

As if he had seen through the embarrassment of the Chinese delegation, the Japanese delegation representative Masao Kosaka, who had deliberately raised the topic, looked at the silent Yan Ruyu and Song Shiqing with a playful and slightly malicious look:

"Oh, I forgot. Sorry. It seems like your Chinese science fiction literature."

"You really can't show it off?" "We are strong."

"You are the weak ones."

"There has always been only one law of survival in this world—"

"The weak should be trampled by the strong."

How can I tolerate being beaten in the face by someone?

Song Shiqing immediately lost control of his emotions and wanted to rush up to argue with him:
"You ride on the horse"

Unexpectedly, Song Shiqing had not yet started to output.

Yan Ruyu calmly held him back:

"Chairman Tie Ning told us to keep a low profile and not cause trouble before we came out."

"Don't be impulsive, if they want to talk, let them talk."

Culture is the embodiment of a country's comprehensive national strength.

If Chinese science fiction literature is ahead of the world, it will have a writer who has influence in the world science fiction field, or it will have science fiction works that have some enlightenment significance in the field of world literature.

When someone ridicules you, you can naturally fight back with confidence:

"While Chinese science fiction was developing, where were you guys?"

But if Chinese science fiction itself lags behind the development of the world, there will not be any influential science fiction writers or classic works.

Then, when someone attacks you in the face, what can you refute?
Isn't it just a matter of enduring it?

For the Chinese people——

Being ridiculed by accompanying delegations from other countries is tolerable.

But being mocked by Japanese players who are living a good life is absolutely unbearable!
Even though I know it's not easy to cause trouble at this time.

However, looking at the smug face of Kosaka Masao, Song Shiqing couldn't help but fight back:

"I admit that in the field of science fiction, Japanese literature is indeed stronger than Chinese literature, there is no doubt about that."

“But, for me personally”

"What I admire most is not Japanese science fiction, but"

"And what?" Masao Kosaka replied triumphantly.

"But..." At this point, Song Shiqing changed the subject and immediately began to fight back, "Your island country is the only one in the world--"

"A country that was bombed by an atomic bomb!"

"Other countries have never tasted the big mushroom, only you have tasted it. If you want to talk about awesomeness, it's your life that's awesome."

As soon as the words fell, Kosaka Masao's face turned red.
"Can you say that again?"

"I'll say that ten more times!"

Real literary quarrels are just so plain and simple.

After some English conversation.

The two of them immediately got excited, and Song Shiqing immediately rolled up his sleeves:
"I'm drafting grandma!"

"Come on, let's have a fight."

The situation on the scene was getting out of control.

Castle, restaurant area.

Right in the center.

A voice message suddenly rang out from the large LED screen used to view the writer's creative progress in real time:
"Submission writer No. 001 has appeared"

When this voice broadcast sounded.

Everyone at the scene was stunned:

"so."

"Fast?!?!"

You should know that this time, the world science fiction writing competition gives participating writers three months to create.

Now, there are only 20 days left before the start of the competition, not even one-third of the time has been reached.
There are actually writers who submit manuscripts?

A writer actually completed it?!?!

"There's still a lot of time left, why did you submit the manuscript so early?"

“Doesn’t he need to modify it?”

Even when everyone was arguing just now, the fastest deadline expected by the American and Japanese accompanying writers delegation, which attached the most importance to efficiency, was -

That is also a month and a half or even two months.

You should know that science fiction is the branch of literature that pays the most attention to logic and rigor.

Even if the writer is quick-witted and can finish the first draft within a month, he will have to spend the next half month or even a month revising, proofreading, and revising the manuscript.
It took only twenty days to write the work and submitted it immediately, which means that after finishing it, this person did not make any changes at all and immediately provided the work to the organizer.

Who submits a manuscript immediately after finishing it?
Doesn’t he need to revise his manuscript?

Doesn't he need to correct typos?

Doesn't he need to sort out the plot?

actually
Is there anyone so brave?!?

Just when everyone was wondering which country's writer could be so brave, the organizer gave him three months to create his work, but he finished it in less than a third of the time.
It only took twenty days to submit your work to the organizer?
Just when everyone was wondering which country this author who was called "the fastest among the fastest" was from.
In the center, on the large LED screen, several lines of large characters suddenly appeared:

[Submission Writer No. 001——]

【Chinese writer, Jiang Hai. 】

[Completed work: "The Three-Body Problem 1: Past Events on Earth"]

When the two bright words "Jiang Hai" appeared on the screen, don't say that foreign writers were confused.

Even the accompanying delegation of writers from China——

I was completely shocked!
Yan Ruyu, who was usually calm, was shocked when she saw the news that Jiang Hai had submitted his manuscript.
"Is Jiang Hai actually so powerful?"

According to the rules of the World Science Fiction Writing Competition, participating writers will submit their works to the organizing committee after completing their works.

Thirty-six professors and experts from all over the world who have absolute authority in the field of science fiction have selected the novels based on multiple dimensions, including literary quality, fantasy, and technology.

Rate your science fiction submissions!

After the expert group gives their suggestions, the works of the participating authors will be translated into various languages ​​and distributed to multiple countries including Europe, America, Asia, Australia, etc. Based on the reading feedback from readers in various countries, the works will be systematically scored again!

After multiple readings and comprehensive considerations
To decide the winner of this competition!
now--

Biltmore Estate, inside the dark castle.

Thirty-six judges from various countries around the world are discussing this first science fiction work submitted.

A white-bearded European and American professor, sitting in the center of the review room, looked calmly at the 35 science fiction experts from all over the world below the stage:

"Does everyone still have any doubts about this book "The Three-Body Problem 1: Past Events on Earth"? "

There was silence.
Seeing that everyone was silent, no one raised any objections.

The white-bearded European and American professor picked up a report and a pen on the table, and wrote down the review resolution unanimously approved by the expert group in the column of [Review Opinion of the Review Panel]:
“World class.”

In an extremely shocking atmosphere, the first and only book was unanimously selected by the expert group as a world-class science fiction work after multiple reviews.

Finally, it appeared!
