Chapter 714 American Science Fiction Magazine

After nine o'clock in the evening, Shen Long sent Xiaoxia back to her residence. Although they both recognized each other now, they had not met each other's parents and hadn't completed the formalities. Many things were still inconvenient. Xiaoxia and Qin Ling It's different after all.

Back home, Shen Long recalled what happened today, and thought of another fun thing. Gao Lang likes Xiaoxia, but Xiaoxia likes himself, and Gao Lang has more than one child in his family. His father, Gao Weishan, also has a daughter. Called Gao Min, a student of the Provincial Academy of Fine Arts, beautiful, smart and sensible.

And Gao Min has always liked Wu Zhongping, the son of Wu Bin, the deputy secretary of the province, but Wu Zhongping has no interest in her at all. Instead, he fell in love with Sun Lanxiang, who is also studying at North China University of Technology. Tsk, the Gao brothers and sisters have never competed with each other. Shen Long really didn't know what to say about the child of the Sun family in Shuangshui Village.

Reminiscent of Sun Shaoping's entanglements with Hao Hongmei, Jin Xiu, and Gu Yangmin, Shen Long felt that Lu Yao was a bit too lazy in setting up the characters' emotions.

Moreover, it is inappropriate for the Sun brothers and sisters to be liked by the children of high-ranking officials at the same time. How many children of high-ranking officials are there in the whole province who can compare with Tian Xiaoxia and Gao Lang? It's all done by the Sun brothers and sisters, isn't this a bit too coincidental?

In other words, although Lu Yao was born in a poor rural area, he doesn't think much of the villagers in terms of the relationship between men and women. This is even more obvious in his other important work "Life"; some people may say that Lu Yao's works The protagonists are excellent, and they totally deserve better companions.

This is true. Readers will feel awkward if you ask Sun Shaoping to find someone who doesn’t know any characters, but are children from rural areas uneducated? Why do you have to give Tian Xiaoxia and Wu Zhongping a high-ranking status? I'm afraid this is not just the reason for Dongia's plot. Regarding this, Shen Long feels a little uncomfortable, after all, he himself is not from a wealthy family.

However, Shen Long did not intend to interfere with the relationship between Sun Lanxiang and Wu Zhongping. At least according to the description in the book, Wu Zhongping is a very good boyfriend, and his family does not have that bureaucratic style. Lanxiang went to their house to get along with Wu Bin and his wife Very happy, this might not be a good marriage. starter

Speaking of Gao Weishan, Gao Bujie, Wu Bin, Tian Fujun, and even Qiao Bonian, who is now the top leader in the province, Shen Long couldn't help laughing again. Among the few descriptions of high-level political games in the original novel, Lu Yao made mistakes like Even bigger, at least based on Shen Long's experience in the political arena, these people have failed in many things.

This is not due to their lack of ability or the limitations of the times, but Lu Yao's lack of understanding of high-level political figures. On this point, he seems to have mentioned it in "Morning Begins at Noon".

Shen Long was just making complaints, these things have nothing to do with him, according to his understanding of reading newspapers and TV programs during this time, as long as it is not related to the original plot, the IQ of Tian Fujun and others is still very online, which makes him I am full of confidence in continuing to promote the development of science fiction literature in the future.

He was not afraid that these people were too capable, but he was afraid that they would not play their cards according to the routine. If they were really like what Lu Yao wrote, Shen Long really didn't know what to do.

Putting these irrelevant things aside, at the same time, in the capital city, in the US embassy in China, Ken Lewis, an embassy staff member who is proficient in Chinese and loves science fiction literature, finished his work all day and cooked for himself. A cup of coffee, and then I picked up the "Science Fiction Literature" I just bought during the day and planned to read it.

In fact, Ken, who has always admired Asimov and Heinlein, can't see these relatively immature science fiction works in China. You must know that the United States is now the paradise of science fiction.

To paraphrase a sentence Liu Cixin said, that is, Americans are surprised to see Chinese writing science fiction, as if Chinese people are surprised to know that Americans are writing martial arts novels. What, you still write this?

In fact, of course there are Chinese who write science fiction novels, and there are also Americans who write martial arts novels, but they are not valued by the other party.

Ken Lewis also wants to see the latest American science fiction works, but unfortunately, there is no Internet as convenient as later generations. It takes a long time to mail magazines from the United States to China. He can only find some Chinese science fiction novels to satisfy his hunger.

Fortunately, the level of science fiction in China is very good now, and it has gradually passed its immature childhood and ushered in maturity. Recently, he has seen several very good novels, such as "Country Teacher" and "Chinese Sun". Ken was taken aback by how two very different elements came together without seeming at odds.

Although the latter is a bit old-fashioned, Ken is very moved by his longing for the stars and the sea. Now it has only been ten years since the last moon landing by the United States, and Ken still has a deep memory of that year.

Ah, I don’t know if Mr. Sun Shaoping has any new works. Compared with him, other Chinese science fiction writers seem too immature. When I opened the catalog, Ken immediately searched for the word Sun Shaoping, and he did the same in the previous issues. He did it, but he couldn't find it, but this time, he saw the name he wanted in the most prominent place without much effort.

Huh, "Happy Hunting"? What kind of work will this be? Judging from the name alone, it seems to be quite different from his previous two works.

Ken quickly turned to the text and browsed hungrily. Ken was a little confused by the strange description about the vixen at the beginning, but he remembered the lesson of "Country Teacher" and read it patiently.

This is... When the steampunk-style Xiangjiang in the novel is gradually unveiled, Ken is attracted by this wonderful world that has never been described by science fiction writers. The nostalgic style of the Victorian era, the coexistence of advanced and backward, magic and technology Together, tuxedo, top hat, walking stick and pocket watch, steam, gears, airship, train, difference engine, these wonderful elements are integrated in a way that no one has ever imagined, but it seems so natural.

It's as if there is such a world in parallel time and space. If oil and electricity have not been discovered and the world continues to this day, maybe it is like this? Beyond those magical elements, Ken couldn't help thinking about it.

As soon as he saw the last line, Ken immediately went back to the first line and read it again. He read the story five times in one breath, and then Ken put down the magazine. The novel was translated into English and published in an American science fiction magazine!
