It's a pity that I don't have the ability to change all of this. Otherwise, if this publishing house can survive longer and find a new way out in the new economic situation, instead of relying on piracy, it may turn to support Guoman, there may not be more changes. Good development.

Lu Menglin reluctantly put down "Dragon Ball", and his eyes fell on another publication next to him.

This "Science Fiction World" from [-] has an obvious surreal apocalyptic style on the cover.The picture shows the desolation and grotesqueness of the universe, trying to construct a shocking visual effect with this strong "utopian realism".

In Lu Menglin's memory, the way of entertainment that accompanied him throughout his life was actually constantly upgrading.

The entertainment method in the student days was mainly reading, which started with martial arts novels and comics, then arcade machines, then Internet cafes, online games, and later TV and the Internet. Cutting-edge audio-visual technology and ultimate imagination.

However, Lu Menglin believes that the real latecomers are online games. With the maturity of game technology, the game screens are becoming more and more refined. CG technology is not weaker than real movie screens, and the interaction and sense of participation in games are stronger. , is more attractive than the release of one-way information, which is equivalent to creating another virtual world outside of human society.

Back to the original point of view, the reading experience in the student days has influenced and changed the lives of teenagers.

And the "Science Fiction World" in his hand at the moment, for Lu Menglin, has the same influence as martial arts novels and comics.

"Science Fiction World" was founded in 1979, and its circulation reached 40 copies at its peak, making it the world's largest science fiction magazine.

If Lu Menglin remembers correctly, in 1997, the "Science Fiction World" magazine invited science fiction writers, scientists, and astronauts from all over the world to participate in the 1997 Beijing International Science Fiction Conference, and its glory will forever be recorded in the history of Chinese science fiction.

Even in [-], "Science Fiction World" is definitely a spiritual book in the hearts of Chinese teenagers. Thanks to this era of spiritual and material poverty, there are still a group of imaginative authors in China who use their imaginations to create brand new novels. unknown world.

And Lu Menglin is also one of the countless teenagers influenced by them, and he is also full of admiration and admiration for this magazine.

"Boss, how much is this half set of "Dragon Ball" plus these issues of "Science Fiction World"?" Lu Menglin asked a little excitedly.

The owner of the bookstall gave him an angry look, and replied slowly: "There is a price on the back cover, so you can figure it out yourself."

The owner of the bookstall probably didn't think that the brat in front of him had the strength to buy so many books in one go, but he just wanted to have fun, so his attitude was naturally not so polite.

Unexpectedly, Lu Menglin smiled and took out a brand new hundred-yuan bill from his pocket, shook it, and said, "Boss, change!"

The owner of the bookstall was shocked. In this day and age, anyone who can easily spend 100 yuan to buy books is definitely a big customer. He hurriedly settled the accounts for Lu Menglin, for fear of losing this big customer.

Not long after, Lu Menglin returned home with a large bundle of neatly packed books and periodicals.

I didn't buy these books purely for sentimentality. In fact, when Lu Menglin saw a certain title on the cover of "Science Fiction World", he suddenly had a brilliant idea and bought all these books on a whim. in the bag.

It was a piece of scientific and technological news. The background was June 1998, 6, at 2:6 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (10:6 a.m. Beijing time, June 3), at the Kennedy Space Launch Center in Florida, USA, The first powerful magnetic spectrometer in the history of mankind, the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, was sent into space by the US space shuttle "Discovery" to detect and study antimatter and dark matter in space, and measure the composition of elements in the universe.

This is a major cross-world scientific research project for mankind, and it is also the first major cooperation between China and the United States in space technology.

Bringing the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer AMS into space is the first direct observation of charged particles in space by human beings. It has opened up a new scientific field and is likely to bring a new major breakthrough in physical science.

The concept of "antimatter" is not unfamiliar to Lu Menglin. Many science fiction works that later generations have read have described it.

Lu Menglin had at least a dozen classic sci-fi works about antimatter in his mind, and the theoretical knowledge and conjectures involved were definitely much more advanced than those in [-].

Back home, Lu Menglin locked himself in the study and did not come out for a full six hours.

"Wen Si is springing up, and the pen is flying like flying." These eight words can completely sum up Lu Menglin's state at this moment.

Scientists in the 90s have proposed that the nucleus of matter is composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons, and protons are composed of quarks, in which protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged.

Antimatter is defined as its nucleus consisting of antiprotons, antineutrons, and antielectrons. Antiprotons are negatively charged, and antielectrons are positively charged.

This is exactly like myself in the mirror, looking exactly the opposite.In other words, antimatter is the opposite state of normal matter. When it meets positive and antimatter, the two sides will annihilate each other and cancel each other out, resulting in an explosion and huge energy.

Lu Menglin wrote a long article like a god, starting with the Tunguska explosion in Siberia, pointing out that the explosion equivalent was huge, but scientists did not find any meteorite fragments, so it was ruled out that the cause was not a meteor falling, but There may be an annihilation phenomenon caused by antimatter.

There are also many cases of human spontaneous combustion in history. The human body is not in contact with the external fire, but it automatically catches fire and burns, and it turns into ashes in an instant. For hundreds of years, scientists have been exploring this problem, but Lu Menglin proposed here He proposed a bold point of view, when the particle antimatter explodes at the moment of contact with the human body, the human body and antimatter become photons or mesons at the same time, releasing huge energy and producing the "annihilation" phenomenon.

Finally, Lu Menglin put forward an unprecedented hypothesis. When matter and antimatter come into contact to generate annihilation-level energy, another phenomenon may actually be created, that is, when matter is annihilated, the matter attached to matter will The spiritual consciousness is ejected, and under the influence of this huge energy, it breaks through the time and space barriers at the same time, and is projected into the parallel world, or the antimatter world in the mirror.

And this example just explains the theory of reincarnation of the living Buddha, why some people know the things of the previous life as soon as they are born, and even the origin of the reborn.

Precisely because Lu Menglin is an out-and-out reborn person, he empathizes with him, and his thoughts and feelings about it are even more profound.

And his article, in the form of science fiction, incorporates these advanced assumptions into it through the protagonist's tone.

I wrote [-] characters in one breath, from noon to sunset, and then to nightfall.

The sky was full of stars outside the window, Lu Menglin finally put down the pen in his hand, stood up, rubbed his wrists, and let out a long breath of relief.

He intends to submit this majestic article, which is closely following the hot spots of science and technology, to the magazine "Science Fiction World". He doesn't know the result, but he believes that with the novelty of his point of view and the sharpness of the writing, there should be a great chance of being accepted.

However, Lu Menglin was a little worried. With the length of "Science Fiction World", it seems unlikely that all of this 3-word novel will be published.

Therefore, he had no choice but to modify the article into three large chapters, and then attached a paragraph, requesting that it be serialized in installments.

A little-known high school student asked for three serial issues when he first submitted a manuscript. This request can almost be called wild hope.

After Lu Menglin calmed down, he was also frightened by his extremely bold idea.

Chapter 23 Contribution

Early the next morning, Lu Menglin put the [-]-word novel manuscript into his schoolbag and brought it to school.

When it was time for physical education class in the afternoon, Lu Menglin took the opportunity to sneak out of the campus. He wanted to find a place to print out the manuscript, but he turned around and couldn't find a computer with a printer.

Only then did he suddenly realize that it is now [-], and there is no typing and copying business here at Liufang, because there is no such market demand at all.

There is a black Internet cafe near the campus, but it is just a few computers with games installed, there is no Internet connection at all, and there is no printing service.

The office in the factory probably has this kind of equipment, but as a high school student like Lu Menglin, I'm afraid he won't have the chance to use it.

After much deliberation, many inconveniences are due to lack of money!

If you have money, you can go to the provincial capital to buy a laptop, or even a printer, but how can Lu Menglin make such an illegal request to his parents now?

It seems that there is no other way but to send the manuscript!In desperation, Lu Menglin trotted all the way to the post office, asked for a big envelope, put the manuscript in the envelope, and then filled in the address of the "Science Fiction World" magazine and the contact person for receiving the manuscript. A large envelope was thrown into the mailbox.

As soon as the submission letter was sent out, Lu Menglin regretted it. Why did he send the manuscript directly?What if people don't reject the manuscript, or take the manuscript and change the name of the author?

"I should copy a copy and submit again. After all, I'm still inexperienced!" Lu Menglin regretted a little, but at this time there was nothing to recruit. It seemed that he could only hope that the editors of this era would be reliable.

After finishing his work, Lu Menglin returned to the campus.

To him, the contribution to "Science Fiction World" was just an idea and a free game. If the manuscript can be passed smoothly, I believe that the manuscript fee of more than 3 words should have a lot of income.

However, Lu Menglin is very clear that his most important task now is to improve his academic performance, because this is what his parents want to see most.

Moreover, I have already made an agreement with my father that the performance of the next monthly exam will directly determine the choice of my father, which is equivalent to adjusting the future direction of the Lu family.

The last two classes in the afternoon are political classes.

The political teacher who taught the second grade of high school was surnamed Xu. He was a white and fat old man with a head that looked like a big water ladle. His eyes were piercing and the hairline was no longer visible on his bald forehead.

In the eyes of the students, the old man Xu is a good old man. He is never busy in class. He basically shakes his head and reads the textbook in every class. After reading, he asks everyone to study by himself. He never punishes the students physically, and he never even yells at them. , Get out of class on time every day, and never delay the class.
