Chapter 410: The future of science fiction

, The fastest update I really did not want to be the latest chapter of the savior!
After recognizing Chen Feng, the mixed-race Chinese boy Liu Card suddenly had a red face on his face after glasses.
"Are you... are you Mr. Chen Feng Chen?"
Chen Feng nodded blankly. "Yes. What's wrong? Do you know me?"
"My God! How could I not know you!"
Liu Card suddenly covered his mouth and cried with excitement. He choked with a tremble and said: "I...I...I'm sorry I was so excited. Last month I and my teacher participated in the set of guesses about you Part of the calculation work. I really... I really adore you! Sorry, I'm sorry, I can't control my mood. I didn't expect to meet you here. I...I..."
Master Chen looked up to the sky.
He silently thought about such a sentence in his heart.
What a lovely young man.
Why...
I'm guilty!
Master Chen, who has been regarded as the best science fiction writer in at least one hundred years and who is also the target of his plagiarism, is treated with such an attitude of worship.
and many more?
It seems not the first time.
Why do I even get red?
Alas, this man, if he wants to be face-to-face, he can't be without taboo after all.
Chen Feng, who has a soft mouth and short hands, took about a few more seconds to adjust his mood.
He patted the shoulders of the peers across the board with grandeur, "Don't be excited, calm down, I'm not much bigger than you."
James Diaz cleared his cough twice and signaled Liu Card to pay attention to the effect.
Huh... Huh...
Liu Card took a deep breath for about ten seconds before slowly calming down, embarrassedly grinning, "Sorry."
Compared to the confident and arrogant Ryan, although Liu Card is also a talented student at Berkeley University, he has a humble and restrained personality. He even seems a little inferior and likes to apologize.
Chen Feng knows the reason.
Liu Card is very smart, but his Chinese-Russian identity makes him very embarrassed, and his personal characteristics are very obvious, and others can easily recognize it at a glance.
During his childhood, some of the exclusionary experiences have been hidden in his heart, creating an indelible shadow, which made him unspoken, but only like to record his thoughts in the text.
"It's okay." Chen Feng waved his hand. "You don't have to be so excited, not to be arrogant. You can become a great person in the future. I'm not that great. I have one nose and two eyes."
Chen Feng is a polite encouragement.
He will be thinking about whether he can do something to call one or two Liu Card, right as compensation.
You can't just send him money directly, then Chen Feng will be suspected of sexual orientation.
It's just that inspiration is really difficult to tell. Chen Feng will not know what to do in order to replenish the other party with a complete inspiration.
Literary works are no better than music.
Music's inspiration bursts out, often because short-term ideas have inspired long-term life experiences, and then boiled out like a volcanic eruption, so Zhong Lei can only be copied stronger.
Of course, it is also possible that Zhong Lei is too talented.
Liu Card was snatched by Chen Feng, but it was a complete "giant world" that he slowly constructed in nearly two decades.
Therefore, it is difficult for Chen Feng to give him another huge world.
Master Chen himself is not a player who is good at creating stories.
"Teacher Chen, you are so humble."
"Yes."
At this time, James had already seen that Chen Feng attached great importance to this young man's attitude, and simply let Liu Card, who was also familiar with the set environment, act as a guide for Chen Feng.
He himself just got away and turned his head to ponder the setting being built.
James' arrangement coincides with Chen Feng's intentions.
"Card, let's leave a contact."
The two did not go two places, Chen Feng took the initiative to exchange numbers.
Liu Card was flattered.
This guy is worthy of being an outstanding student of Berkeley. He has a wide range of knowledge and a very careful and meticulous work. Basically, when facing an important setting, he can tell the original intention of James's arrangement in this way.
Chen Feng just started listening with relish.
After all, he himself is about to invest in movies, and to learn more about the ideas of big-name directors will help him turn back to being a good consultant.
But it didn’t take long for Chen Feng to lose interest, because Liu Card’s explanation was too detailed, and he knew that the box office and word-of-mouth status of James’ film was only excellent, but far from classic.
After about an hour, in the beach outside the studio, under the umbrella, Chen Feng sat on the chair with Erlang's legs, and Liu Card stayed beside him.
"Card, do you like science fiction?"
"Of course I do."
"What is your favorite?"
Liu Card pondered for a moment, ""King of Light", "Circular World", "Do Bionics Dream of Electronic Sheep", "Base" series."
Chen Feng gave a thumbs up, "Good eyesight. But did you find a problem."
"what?"
"Many recognized classic long-form sci-fi, mostly produced decades or even nearly a hundred years ago. Although there are also good good science-fiction in recent years, the number of classic long-form masterpieces is completely incomparable with the past. Why do you think this is because of the present Readers are old and new?"
Liu Card was a little embarrassed. "Sorry, I don't quite understand the meaning of thick and thin. My Chinese level is relatively average."
"It is contemporary people who always respect the previous stories and despise the preconceived works of their contemporaries. Even the quality of these works themselves is inferior."
While speaking in this way, Chen Feng remembered Liu Card's own series of "Eternal Galaxy" in the early timeline.
This book became a classic and was adapted into a famous movie, which also happened decades after his death.
While Liu Card was still alive, "The Galaxy Never Dies" was frequently sprayed.
Liu Card chewed on Chen Feng's meaning, "I understand. But I think it may be that these amazing authors used decades of vision in advance to cut in from the perspective of pure fantasy, and found enough reasonable scientific basis in the masterpiece. The future theories depicted have been gradually recognized in these years. Technological progress has proved that some of the original purely overstated theories actually have a certain factual basis, so that their fantasy of decades ago gradually became the science of today, so It was just called a classic."
Chen Feng nodded with a smile, "Yes, even if a certain book is wrong for a large part, but as long as there are a few points correct, and the story itself is logical, then this book can be regarded as a good science fiction. It can’t explain why there is less and less contemporary classic science fiction. You have to know that the books you said just now have a huge influence just after they were born.

Liu Card thought for a long time, but shook his head helplessly, "This is too esoteric, Mr. Chen, do you know why?"
Chen Feng nodded, "I do know."
Master Chen has a conclusion in his heart, but this is not his own original creation, but a summary of many historians and literary and art workers from multiple timelines.
When human civilization entered the 21st century AD, as time went on, it seemed that humans had really lost their imagination, and the science fiction works created afterwards were generation after generation.
Science fiction is becoming more and more illusory, and more and more out of science.
For example, in the eighth timeline, in the twenty-first century there are also works such as "Three Body", "Eternal Galaxy", "Clockwork Girl", "Mr. Shadow", etc., but since then it has gradually become irreversible.
In the twenty-fifth century, there were only a few or two left, one of which was Chen Feng’s own biography of Feng Lei.
Master Chen expressed spicy eyes.
After the 30th century, it will be even worse.
Not to mention the great works of Hong, even the movie is gone, which makes Chen Feng very painful.
One is that he can only watch "antique old films" during his leisure time in the thirty-first century, and the other is that it makes him anxious whether humans have really lost the ability to imagine the future.
Therefore, he once devoted his energy to studying historical materials, only to figure out the accepted views of scholars.
Now he is going to call Liucard a little bit, and he will start with the science fiction of the 21st century.
"First of all, we can analyze a phenomenon. Do you think that the components of fantasy in science fiction, movies, and TV series have become heavier in recent years, but the components of science are getting lower and lower?
Liu Card: "Yes. But why?"
"Because the more human beings know, the more they understand the essence of the universe, and the balance between our pursuit of truth and fantasy will inevitably gradually lean towards truth. Our imagination will gradually decline with the advancement of technology. In addition , Do you know what is the definition of a good long-form science fiction?"
Liu Card: "Based on the present and focusing on the future, the future scientific background should be in line with the theoretical expectations, and the discussion and portrayal of human nature must have a true texture in sociology."
Chen Feng nodded, "That's a good word. Then I will ask you another question. An ordinary person wants to join Newton's laboratory to become an experimental assistant. What is the minimum number of years of study time and what level of knowledge do you have? Change to Now, taking yourself as an example, how many years of study time does an ordinary person want to become a research assistant in a key laboratory at Berkeley? Want to master all the knowledge?"
Liu Card gradually understood, "I understand. First of all, classic long-form science fiction cannot be developed around only a few characters and a single future technology. It must have a perfect and ambitious world view. Then it will We must get involved in all aspects of technology in the future world. A few dozen or even a hundred years ago, an excellent science fiction writer also needed a large number of books, and kept up with the hotspots of the times. They are both proficient and knowledgeable. But in our time, With the rapid innovation of science and technology, the amount of knowledge enriched by human beings is increasing, and the amount of basic knowledge included in each subject is too large."
"There are more and more hotspots in science and technology every day, and some classic theories in the past have been subverted. To become a perfect sci-fi writer, the knowledge you need to master is too amazing, and it is difficult to learn with human energy. After the completion, then there will inevitably fallacy and controversy in the creation. Therefore, it is more and more difficult for people who want to write classic science fiction novels now, and this difficulty will further sublimate with the social fine division of labor. And continue to increase."
Chen Feng nodded, "Yes, your opinion is basically correct. Perhaps in a few hundred years, humans will have no science fiction and movies to watch. After a thousand years, there will be only about one theme left in science fiction."
"What subject?"
"Time travels."
"Uh... I get it."
The topic is here, and Chen Feng chooses to stop there.
There are only so many tips he can give to Liu Card.
As for what Liucard can do, everyone has his own life.
Next, Liu Card asked a little curiously about the questionnaire survey conducted by Chen Feng and Professor Oxford in China.
He wanted to know whether the results of the investigation were true.
Chen Feng told him of course true.
"So people who speak Chinese are so much better at facing the end than people who only speak English?"
Chen Feng smiled, "Maybe, who knows. Before it happened, everything was speculation."
"Teacher Chen, I thought of the idea of ​​a science fiction story."
Liu Card suddenly said.
"what?"
"I'm thinking~EbookFREE.me~ If there is a Chinese, you can travel through a space-time tunnel for thousands of years, and you really see the end. Then this tunnel is very strange. Whenever he is about to die in the end, he will Pull him back to the present. Then after a while he can pass again. Do you think, will he really try to do something to change the future and save the end? What will he do?"
"Ouch I..."
Chen Feng almost jumped from the chair.
I'm just giving you some tips, do you want to be so smart!
Are you a monster!
Someone called something wrong.
It seems that "Feng Lei" will be hatched in advance.
Chinese people? Do you think I can't understand the hint?
I am still alive, will you set up a monument for me?
What is going on?
