Seeing him sitting there with dull eyes, Lin Yuhan stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes: "What are you thinking about?"
Chen Yao snapped his fingers and said with a slightly excited tone: "Suddenly, inspiration burst out, and I will finish it in the next two days."
"Oh?" Lin Yuhan blinked his big curious eyes: "What book?"
Although he only wrote the trilogy "My Wandering Earth", don't forget that it is precisely because of this series that he became a top science fiction writer.
This is another identity of a technology tycoon. Few people will mention it, but it is real.
Lin Yuhan doesn¡¯t like reading science fiction very much. The only science fiction books he can read are the science fiction books written by Chen Yao.
Chen Yao opened the document editing software on his computer and typed in the book title "The Martian".
Lin Yuhan is also a writer. Although she writes online articles, she has a strong ability to understand words. She can guess from the title that this is a survival novel that takes place on Mars.
But, is this kind of novel really good?
"What is the attractive selling point of this book?" Lin Yuhan was not very familiar with science fiction, and her eyes were full of doubts.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yao quickly typed two lines at the beginning of the article.
¡¡
I am honored to be the first earthling to land on Mars!
But I am very unfortunate, because I will be the first earthling to die on Mars.
¡¡
Just the first two lines of words caught Lin Yuhan¡¯s eyes deeply.
What is a master of science fiction? This is a master of science fiction. As soon as the master starts, the first two sentences can make people want to follow it and want to know what happened?
From the first sentence at the beginning, it can be seen that the protagonist is an astronaut. He was very lucky and was selected to board the Mars spacecraft, becoming the first human being to land on Mars in the world.
Originally, this was a very happy thing. If all plans went well, they would return to Earth in triumph and receive cheers and love from the whole world.
An accident happened. The protagonist did not return successfully and would probably die on Mars.
In just two sentences, there is a lot of information. Lin Yuhan asked: "What happened? What is the name of the protagonist, and why did he have an accident?"
Chen Yao yawned and said, "It's very late and I'll write tomorrow."
Without a clear mind, how can we produce good works?
Chen Yao has read the book "The Martian" several times and also watched the movie. After all, it won the Golden Globe Award and is worth watching.
It¡¯s just that if you really want to write it out completely, it will take some time to sort out the plot.
"Good night." Lin Yuhan turned around, closed the door and walked out.
Chen Yao fell back, closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
The next morning, it was gray and drizzling outside.
"You can't go anywhere in this kind of weather. It's better to stay at home and write novels."
Lin Yuhan prepared breakfast and placed it on the table. Chen Yao ate slowly, thinking about the plot of "The Martian" in his mind.
The plot of the story is very simple and not complicated at all.
An astronaut named Mark Courtney took a spacecraft and carried out a Mars landing mission with his team members.
However, an accident happened on Mars. A storm caused the protagonist to stay on Mars. His teammates thought he was dead and set off to return to Earth.
When the protagonist wakes up, he finds himself alone on Mars.
??The next step is for him to use his own knowledge to solve the problem of survival on Mars and wait for the spacecraft to arrive again to bring him back to Earth.
What¡¯s interesting is that in this Mars rescue operation, the United States¡¯ NASA joined forces with China¡¯s aerospace industry to carry out the rescue.
Because they were not careful about the problem with the thrusters, China eventually provided them with Helios thrusters out of humanitarianism, allowing the rescue operation to proceed smoothly.
In the end, the protagonist Mark also returned to Earth successfully.
?? Similar to Hollywood movies with Chinese aerospace elements, there is also "Gravity".
"Gravity" tells the story of two male astronauts and a female astronaut working on the Earth Space Station who were attacked by space debris when they went out to perform equipment maintenance, causing the spacecraft to explode.
The only surviving female astronaut, Ryan Stone, boarded China¡¯s Tiangong Space Station while wandering in space.
And then piloted the Shenzhou spacecraft back to Earth.
There is no doubt that "The Martian" is an excellent novel, otherwise it would not have been published.??Amazon¡¯s best-selling list has also been made into a movie by Hollywood and released around the world.
But, from a scientific point of view, this book does have a lot of bugs.
For example, if the protagonist Mark Courtney¡¯s spacesuit is blown up, can he still survive on Mars?
If he eats potatoes every day on Mars to satisfy his hunger, will he not suffer from malnutrition and disease?
The biggest bug is not these. The biggest bug is at the beginning. Why is the protagonist left on Mars?
The explanation in the book says that it was a sandstorm that separated him from other Yuhang teammates. His teammates thought he was dead when they couldn't find him, and then started the spacecraft to leave Mars and return to Earth.
The whole story started because of a big storm, but
The density of Mars¡¯ atmosphere is only 1% that of Earth¡¯s, and the atmospheric pressure is much smaller, so it can¡¯t blow big storms at all!
Although Mars often blows sandstorms, which seem very powerful, in fact the wind force is only equivalent to the breeze level of the Earth. It is impossible to overturn the machine, let alone the astronauts.
The author of the novel should be aware of this bug, but why he still wrote it like this is probably to explain why the protagonist Mark stayed on Mars, but he couldn't find a more reasonable explanation.
??Actually, if you think about it seriously, what you can write like this is not necessarily a big storm. It can be said that there was a small earthquake or landslide on Mars. The protagonist was buried, but his teammates could not find him.
This way, it will be more reasonable.
After breakfast, Chen Yao returned to the room, turned on his phone, and began to write down the plot in his mind on a document.
Before writing, one thing needs to be determined, the identity of the protagonist?
In "The Martian", the protagonist is an American and accepts NASA's Mars landing mission.
Chen Yao can't copy it, he just borrowed the theme. The plot is very different. Naturally, the astronaut who landed on Mars must be Chinese.
He was given a name, Li Yongsheng.
Because of a mudslide, he and the rover were buried on Mars. His teammates searched for him for many days but still could not find him. If this continues, the astronauts will die here.
As a last resort, the teammates set out to return to Earth.
When Li Yongsheng woke up, he found that he was alone on Mars. Although he successfully contacted the aerospace command center on Earth, it would take seven months at the earliest to arrive.
During these seven months, he has to find a way to survive on Mars. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
