The story of "The Sinking of Japan" began when a 70-meter-high island in the northern part of the Ogasawara Islands sank to the bottom of the sea overnight.

In order to investigate the truth, geophysicist Dr. Tasho and deep-sea submarine pilot Toshio Onodera dived into the seabed and discovered a large-scale anomaly in the 7000-meter-deep Japan Trench.

At the same time, accidents such as the forced suspension of the Shinkansen project and the collapse of expressway bridges also occurred on the Japanese archipelago. Volcanic activities and earthquakes were frequent in various places.

To this end, the Japanese government secretly held expert hearings.

At the hearing, Dr. Tasho sounded the alarm that Japan was about to sink.

The skeptical government department immediately formulated the "D-1" plan to deal with the emergency and launched a top-secret investigation.

With the deepening of the investigation and the occurrence of the "Great Kyoto Earthquake" and "Tokyo Earthquake", the fact that Japan is facing sinking has become increasingly clear.

The Japanese government had to formulate the "D-1" plan aimed at saving the Japanese nation on the basis of the "D-2" plan.

When the news of Japan's sinking was made public, the international community immediately launched a rescue operation.

Finally, the Japanese archipelago began to sink.

In the finale, the Japanese people were placed in different countries around the world.

Huaxia accepted some refugees to resettle in Jiangsu, and arranged for the other part to go to Chongming Island.

Russia accepted a group and placed them in Siberia.

Australia only wanted high-tech industrial workers at first, and later agreed to increase the number of ordinary people, but they could only be arranged in the inland desert areas.

At this point, the Japanese perish.

……

In general, this book can be divided into three parts.

The first part is pretty much dry theory without literature—that is, geophysics, meteorology, and the like.

The second part mainly talks about various tragedies in the Japanese archipelago, such as volcanoes, tsunamis, and earthquakes.

The third part is used to describe the reactions of various people after knowing that Japan is about to sink, from government officials to experts, from prime ministers to ordinary people, and from the army to various foreigners.

It sounds simple, but it is very difficult to change.

In order to prepare for the knowledge work, he had to find two employees of the bookstore to purchase a large amount of astronomical and geographical materials.

In addition, he also specially asked a relationship to meet with a university professor in the Department of Geography to discuss the possibility of this happening.

It took about 2 weeks of hard work, and Akihara Yu was able to solve the first part and the second part.

And in the third part, he also started a substantial adaptation.

In the original works, the native Japanese people were overly beautified.

After the Prime Minister delivered a speech that "Japan is about to sink", there was no disorderly mob in Japan.

Even the single attack on the SDF base was the fault of the SDF itself.

In the previous life, many book reviewers thought this was very unreasonable.

So Hiroto Akihara not only added some content from the 2006 movie version, but also added some private goods:

After learning that Japan was about to sink, riots broke out in mainland Japan, but they were suppressed by the Self-Defense Forces.

At the same time, the prime minister, the cabinet, and all other large consortiums began to flee first. As for ordinary people, they could only wait in line behind the queue, waiting for the arrival of rescue ships from various countries.

Many people even bought inflatable boats in desperation because of the delay in waiting for rescue ships.

They decided to cross the Sea of ​​Japan by themselves to survive in Taiwan, Jiangsu, Southeast Asia and other regions.But less than 10 out of 1 can succeed.

It can be said that the despair level of Akihara Hiroto's version is better than that of his previous works.

But the most essential part of the original work, that is, the discussion on whether the wandering citizens of a country that lost its national territory can still maintain its own culture and customs in various parts of the world, Hiroto Akihara has retained it.

After finishing this long story thoroughly, it was already mid-March.

However, Hiroto Akihara has a new plan for this work that took so much effort to "restore".

"After the work has won the literary award of the Neon Science Fiction Club, I will start to arrange for publication. At the same time, I am looking for a suitable director to see if I can invest in making a movie."

"However, it is estimated to cost a lot of money. Maybe I should find some film companies to cooperate with."

Referring to the experience of selling this book in his previous life, Hiroto Akihara made this decision.

Immediately afterwards, he sent a copy of his "The Sinking of Japan" to the Neon Science Fiction Club.

……

On March 3, the day after Hiroto Akihara sent out his work, Yuriko Tachizawa looked at a pile of manuscripts on the table and sighed heavily.

As the head of the Neon Science Fiction Club, she believes that she has to be responsible for the future of Neon Science Fiction.

But what makes her uncomfortable is that, except for her other writer members, most of them don't care about hard science fiction and soft science fiction, and many people even like the robot and space battleship series.

She pushed her glasses, feeling uncomfortable for a while.

In fact, she only knows that with the change of the times, more and more readers are not interested in hard science fiction with rigorous settings, and thus turn to soft science fiction such as love and war.

The changes in the market have also caused many science fiction writers to change their mentality and create soft science fiction works.

After all, compared with hard sci-fi, the importance of soft sci-fi works on science and technology and the laws of physics is reduced, as long as the stories about sociality and human nature are well described.

And this large number of soft science fiction works will further squeeze the living space of hard science fiction works.

Just like reasoning, after the rise of the socialist school, the works of the socialist school continue to occupy the reasoning market that originally belonged to the Benge school.

After all, readers hope to find a book that makes them feel "relaxed" and not so "brain-burning".

Whenever thinking of these situations, Tachizawa Yuriko wonders whether her insistence on hard science fiction is right?

Could it be that he has been retired by this era or this market?

She thought for a long time, finally lowered her head helplessly, and continued to read the manuscript. It was not until 2 hours later that she stopped her movements.

She was very disappointed. Most of the manuscripts sent were not much scientific reason, purely romance in the cloak of "science fiction".

What's even worse is that many manuscripts can't even tell the story well.

Just when she was disappointed, she subconsciously glanced at the pile of new manuscripts on the right, but the name of one of the manuscripts made her eyes widen.

On it, the words "Japan sinks" are written...
