Late at night, somewhere on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
Tom William, a staff member of the Hugo Award review team, was staring at the computer screen in front of him.
At this time, he read one science fiction email after another from various countries.
The review team that Tom William was in was simple, but even the most peripheral ones needed strong writing skills and imagination to narrate the stories of science fiction novels.
Tom William rubbed his brows and looked at the computer screen in front of him with disgust.
I have been reading science fiction content emails from various countries these days, and the quality of them is uneven.
Most of them are just here to run with, let alone nominations, even his simplest review can't pass. What's more, what about the professional staff behind? !
Tom William planned to turn off the computer after reading the last novel email. He was so tired of reading these days. What kind of bad novels are they? It really disgusted him to death.
Tom William prayed in his heart, let himself see a better novel, he didn't want the content to be too good, as long as it was easy to read.
He didn't want to finish his work and have to eat a mouthful of poop before leaving.
For Tom William, reading these novels with mediocre content was like tasting a good meal.
"The Three-Body Problem 1: The Past of Earth?" Tom William frowned slightly and looked at the name of the novel in disbelief.
"The Three-Body Problem? What is the Three-Body Problem? I only know about cubes and cuboids, but what exactly is the Three-Body Problem? Or... does it have other meanings?"
With doubts in his heart, Tom William clicked on the content of the novel and began to enter this huge world of science fiction content.
The previous plot was a bit uncomfortable, but after reading it carefully, the settings of this novel seemed very reasonable.
Tom William knew that judging the quality of a novel's content was definitely not determined by the beginning alone.
Tom William continued to read, and he didn't realize that he had been attracted by the content of the Three-Body Problem.
About an hour had passed, but Tom William showed no signs of stopping and was still immersed in the content of this science fiction masterpiece.
What about stealth fighters, nuclear bombs, radars...
The weapons and storylines here are attracting Tom William to continue reading.
I ate so much Aoli Gei today, and I can say I ate some good food.
…
The reviewers next to me stopped what they were doing, and they were complaining about the content of the novels they had read in the past few days.
"OMG, I really want to vomit. What kind of novels did these people send in? They really hurt my eyes. They are all very rubbish novels."
"Oh God, can you let me find a good science fiction novel? If I discover a science fiction novel with the potential to impact the Hugo Award, can I also leave a mark on the stage of science fiction novels!"
"What a joke! The review team of the Hugo Award has hundreds of people. This is just the simplest level. There seem to be two more levels behind."
"Yes, yes... I have read a science fiction novel written by China. It is simply an insult to my eyes. It is really rotten to the extreme."
Before the appearance of the Three-Body Problem, the world of Chinese science fiction novels was full of dark clouds, and was being crushed by science fiction novels from other countries in all aspects.
But... after the appearance of the Three-Body Problem, no one dared to look down on Chinese science fiction novels.
It's just that these people don't know that the science fiction masterpiece "The Three-Body Problem 1: The Past of Earth" is already in their review team.
"Hey? Where's Tom? Where did Tom go? Why can't I see him?" one of the auditors said.
It was time to get off work. Tom William usually left first, but why is there no movement now?
"Still reading?" One of them found that Tom William was sitting at his work station, staring at the computer intently.
The other auditors became interested. Has Tom changed his personality?
Why is he still reading, or is the content of the novel still attracting him?
There are very few novels that can attract Tom William.
The curiosity of several people was all aroused, and they walked behind Tom William without anyone noticing.
Several people looked at the content of the novel being displayed on the computer screen, and their eyebrows were full of doubts.
What's good about it? It seems to be no different from other novels.
Several people's preconceived ideas told them that this novel is not much better.
After all, every year, they receive variousThere are tens of thousands of science fiction novels in the country, but only one novel can really win the Hugo Award.
You can imagine how much hardship and difficulty there is in this process.
One of the reviewers patted Tom William on the shoulder and said, "Tom, what are you reading? Why are you so fascinated? It's time to get off work. Let's go. Come back tomorrow. There are still two days before the end of the Hugo review. There is no rush."
Tom William, who was still immersed in the science fiction masterpiece just now, was instantly pulled back to reality. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. Tom William said unhappily, "You go first, I'll take a look."
"Close the door when you leave, be gentle, and don't disturb me anymore."
Other people had black question marks on their faces?
"Still reading? What's so good about it?"
"Yes, yes, it's time to get off work, let's go."
"Let's go, let's go to the part!"
Tom William was still unmoved, and didn't even lift his eyelids, still staring at the screen in front of him.
Still off work? Still going to the part?
If it was before, he would run faster than anyone else.
But now this novel is a science fiction novel that has won the Hugo Award!
Go? Go to hell!
The other reviewers were silent for a while, and they all felt something was wrong.
There was something wrong.
It seems that this novel really has something, otherwise it wouldn't be so attractive to Tom William.
Fortunately, these emails can be found on a host computer, and the others quickly found the novel.
"Three-Body?"
"Is it the first part? Three-Body 1?"
"Is this... okay?"
"Ah ha? It's a novel from China? Forget it... I won't read it. I still don't appreciate this novel. You guys read it."
After seeing the title, the other people were also slightly stunned, and their expressions were exactly the same as the second emoticon pack in your favorites.
But some people lost interest in the novel after seeing that it was from China.
"Let's take a look first. I don't believe it's really that good!"
"Okay..."
The other people also began to concentrate on this science fiction masterpiece.
The other people also continued to read this science fiction novel, and some people thought that this novel came from China without even reading it.
After these reviewers really read it, they felt that this was an absolute correct answer.
How could a science fiction novel that Tom William could read all the time be a bad novel?
The reviewers thought it was more and more good-looking! It was really good-looking!
"It's so well written, it's amazing!"
"OMG! After only half an hour of reading, I was attracted by the settings and weapons in it. It really amazed me!"
"Oh my God, this novel is only the first part, is there a second part later?! Ahhh!"
Several reviewers who were fascinated by it made exclamations and surprises from time to time.
…
The more Tom William read, the more frightened he felt. It was not because the content of this novel was too exciting.
It was because this novel was about to be finished. He could guarantee that this novel would definitely win the Hugo Award!
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer chapters in the back, his reading speed became slower and slower.
He didn't dare to read so fast. This was the first time he felt that someone could write science fiction so well!
Ten minutes later——
Tom William finished reading the novel "The Three-Body Problem 1: The Past of Earth".
At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind, how can he tie up the author and let him continue to update the following content for me?
This is his only thought now. Now that he has finished reading this novel, he always feels that the story behind will be more exciting, more magnificent and more dramatic. This also makes him feel like an ant crawling all over his body, and he really wants to know the development of the plot behind.
Tom William got up from the chair and stretched his sore neck and arms. Sitting for too long will also make his body very stiff.
After looking around for a week, he found that the reviewers had not left.
Now they are concentrating on the science fiction novel "The Three-Body Problem 1: The Past of Earth".
"Heh."
Tom William chuckled, exactly as he thought, these people said they were not curious and would not read it.
Isn't it the result?
But now Tom William can't care so much, since he has finished reading it.
Let's send this novel to the room of the Hugo Award judging panel first. After all, the probability of this novel winning the award is still not low.
…
Hugo Award judging panel.Three of the elders stayed in this room, and the other seven went back to rest.
All three of them were trying hard to resist sleepiness and were still checking the science fiction novels sent by the review team.
But these novels were not very good, all of them were so unsatisfactory.
They felt a bit too rubbish.
The three of them even thought... Is there really no good science fiction novels?
"How did these novels get sent? The quality is too bad!"
"Alas... I seriously doubt whether these review teams have done a good job of reviewing them? What kind of shitty novels are they!"
"By the way, how many science fiction novels did China send?" Denikapo changed the subject.
"It seems... two?"
"Two?" Denikapo obviously looked a little unconvinced.
The more novels sent, the greater the probability.
And China is still a superpower, so it stands to reason...
It shouldn't be like this, right? Only two were sent?
Did they choose to abstain directly? !
Denikapo shook his head helplessly. Forget it. They can't do anything about this.
But think about it. There are not many science fiction writers in China who can write well.
But there is still one person who made a deep impression on Denikapo. This person is 'Chen Yan'.
Even though 'Chen Yan' mainly wrote tragic realist novels, there are still many foreigners who like him.
Elken smiled and said, "Isn't this a very normal thing?"
"Even if China didn't submit a novel, I wouldn't be surprised at all. What's there to be surprised about?"
"The quality of Chinese science fiction novels is too poor. The whole world knows it. I think China is still very smart this time. After all, it knows to avoid suspicion and didn't force the science fiction novel to be submitted. Otherwise, it would be humiliating itself."
Denikapo also smiled slightly and agreed with Elken's words.
…
"Who do you think will win the Hugo Award this time?" Denikapo continued.
"If we can't find any good science fiction novels in these three days, I think the Hugo Award will go to the player Harden from the United States." Elken nodded thoughtfully and said the answer in his mind.
"I think so too. The science fiction novel "Rag Cat's Space" is also very imaginative. If we can't find a good novel in these few days, I think he will win the Hugo Award."
The three of them talked about their own opinions.
Not long after, the three of them heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from outside.
The three of them put down their work and looked out the door with a puzzled look.
Someone is coming?
Who is coming at this time?
Tom William pushed open the door and entered the Hugo Award judging panel. He looked at the three people in front of him. Before he spoke, Denni Kapo said calmly:
"Is there something urgent to say? Why are you so flustered?"
Tom William panted heavily, his face was very red and swollen, and he pointed to the computer in his arms and said:
"This... there is a good science fiction novel in it!"
Tom William didn't say too much, in fact, he always wanted to say it.
This novel can win the Hugo Award, you can just give the award directly!
But... in fact, he is just an auditor, and he passed this simple review.
It's just a simple shortlist. Whether it can be nominated or really won.
It still depends on the people of the Hugo Award judging panel to decide.
"Uh? Are you sure?" Denni Kapo looked at him with a puzzled look.
"Which country?"
"China!"
As soon as the voice fell, the whole room became very quiet, so quiet that it made people feel a little scared.
Huaxia?
Only two copies were sent, and I heard they were sent two or three hours ago.
How good can it be?
"Have you... read it? Now is not the time to talk nonsense." Erken asked calmly.
"I have read it! I can guarantee it with God! This novel will definitely surprise you! Absolutely! Absolutely!"
