Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 391 The final story? An existence beyond the ordinary!

"Bravo."

Jack Williamson, who also read the last sentence, expressed his heartfelt emotion.

He stared at the contents of this chapter and couldn't calm down for a long time.

Is this the power that comes from the magical boy from the East?

Is this the true meaning of this book "Rural Teacher"?
Is this the writing style of the oriental literary giant who has won the Pulitzer Prize, the Goncourt Prize, and been recognized by readers and scholars all over the world?

It is not surprising that Williamson once regarded Bao Guowei as his idol. Countless young people in the United States regard Bao Guowei as their idol.

But only after reading this chapter did he finally understand in his mind how powerful Bao Guowei's works are.

“This will be a work of art.”

Williamson commented.

People always say that Mr. Bao is a writer who can bring surprises to people, and today he truly felt it.

Moreover, Williamson dares to assert that once this work is published, it will definitely change the current landscape of the entire science fiction literary world.

"Because he was so ahead of his time," Williamson said without much context.

Then he raised his head with a determined look and looked at the oriental writer who was much younger than himself.

"This is a work that goes beyond the scope of general realism. I have read countless realistic science fiction works, which are very popular at the moment, but Mr. Bao's "Rural Teacher" is completely different.

It places an ordinary character in the context of cosmic civilization, giving the story a more magical color.

The human civilization represented by education and the absolute rationality represented by various science fiction concepts are intertwined, triggering a unique chemical reaction.

After hearing Williamson's extremely professional literary evaluation, Bao Guowei looked at him in surprise.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that this young writer is quite talented. After just reading it for a while, he was able to give a thorough analysis of the ideological content of "The Rural Teacher".

In terms of literary literacy, this young man is absolutely impeccable.

However, after this analysis, Williamson seemed to become a little depressed. He sighed and looked at the contents of the manuscript again.

It was as if I had seen a peak that was difficult to climb.

"Compared to this, my space opera may be too immature."

During this period, Williamson's creation was still in the learning stage, and he was more inclined to the currently popular and more acceptable "space opera" plot.

Such creations made him successful and achieved financial freedom.

But today, after watching "The Rural Teacher", he realized how vulnerable the previous "space operas" were in the face of such a grand and delicate work.

Are you doubting your life?

Bao Guowei frowned and looked at the American youth.

He didn't want this future science fiction master to give up writing science fiction because of the blow he suffered.

So he consoled her by saying, "Space opera? I don't think space opera is a low-end, low-quality novel. It is true that space opera novels have some unacceptable characteristics such as vulgarity, curiosity, and entertainment.

But I believe that with the development of science fiction, space opera will no longer be low-level. Everything is defined by people's own ideas, isn't it? "

“Space opera doesn’t have to be cheap,” Williamson kept repeating, as if purified.

The definition of "space opera" around the 1930s is somewhat different from that of later generations.

The former often refers to a type of routine writing that is influenced by movies of the time, incorporating elements of adventure, crime, thriller, etc., and using planets with exotic customs or other civilizations as the stage.

This type of creative work was not recognized by the mainstream at the time, and was even specifically defined as "space opera" to distinguish mainstream science fiction works.

The "space opera" defined by later generations refers to a new form of space opera led by British writers such as John Harrison in the 20s. It was mainly known for its darkness and scientific rigor, and took into account the advantages of the former.

Therefore, the "space opera" of later generations will be broader, and in this era, Williamson, who was defined as an inferior "space opera", obviously felt inferior because of it.

Especially after reading Bao Guowei's works, Williamson felt the gap between people.

You know, the writer in front of you is only seventeen years old.

After receiving Bao Guowei's comfort, Williamson felt better and asked curiously.

"Mr. Bao, how did you come up with such a wonderful idea? It's really puzzling."

Bao Guowei thought about it and answered, as he already had a series of corresponding templates for such questions.

"It's nothing new. I just got some inspiration by chance while reading some literature."

After saying this, Bao Guowei showed an innocent and harmless smile on his face.

"there is nothing."

"By chance"

“Some inspiration.”

The muscles on Williamson's face twitched continuously, and for a moment he even had the urge to attack his idol.

So hateful!

Bao Guowei felt that his explanation seemed to have the opposite effect. He leaned back a little and touched his stubble.
I feel like the other person is even more lost.
At this time, Wu Mi let out an unwilling roar, which not only scared Bao Guowei and the others, but also made the surrounding customers look at him strangely.

"Where's the back?"

"Behind!"

"Why is there nothing behind it?"

"What will be my ending?"

"Where's the damn ending of "The Rural Teacher"? Why is it gone?"

Hearing Wu Mi's hysterical roar, Bao Guowei immediately understood what had happened.

It turned out that Wu Mi was reading the fifth chapter, but after seeing the death of the "teacher", he felt extremely unwilling.

I'm eager to know how the subsequent plot develops.

But at this moment, after searching through all the manuscripts, I couldn't find the final ending.

This is tantamount to asking the groom to put on his clothes, come out from inside and through the door honestly, and tell him at the last critical moment of the wedding chamber.

Sorry, we remembered it wrong. You were supposed to get married tomorrow, and I am withdrawing one bride now.

Seeing Wu Mi's intense reaction, Bao Guowei couldn't help but smile apologetically and said.

"Professor Wu, um... Did you forget what I just told you? I haven't finished writing yet."

Even though it is a short story, Bao Guowei still puts in his best effort to ensure its quality.

So the creative process did not catch up with the plan.

He had just finished writing the fifth chapter until last night.

"Then tell me! How did the story develop in the end?"

Wu Mi said angrily.

In fact, both he and Williamson could roughly guess what would happen next, but guessing is one thing, and seeing the plot develop is another.

Wu Mi was a little annoyed. He tried his best to keep a calm attitude and looked at Bao Guowei and said.

"Then write it down now or dictate it to us directly."

Bao Guowei didn't mind Wu Mi's gaffe. This professor was just like that, his emotions were written all over his face.

He spread his hands and sighed.

"To be honest, I haven't even thought about the content of the final chapter yet."

"."

Two resentful eyes were cast on Bao Guowei.

For the next few days, Bao Guowei was under house arrest.

It's not just Zhang Nianyue, there's also surveillance from Wu Mi and Williamson.

Whenever he appeared on the deck, or anywhere else that was not his creation, they would interrogate him when they met him.

“Have you written any code today?”

As time went by, Bao Guowei no longer enjoyed eating or watching plays. He simply hid in his room and began writing the last chapter.

This final chapter actually doesn't have many words, but it still involves a lot of science fiction knowledge.

Bao Guowei tries his best to ensure that the scientific concepts that appear in his works are based on the real world.

Even if it is a fantasy, it should not be divorced from the scientific theories of this era.

Otherwise, if some astrophysicists, after reading the novel, ask themselves where this theory came from,
That would be great fun.

Bao Guowei wants to promote the development of science today, but the prerequisite is not to become a "heretic".

On the third day after communicating with Wu Mi and Williamson, Bao Guowei finally completed the last chapter of "Rural Teachers".

“The protagonist is not a great teacher. He may be a genius in learning, but he has no talent for teaching.

But he was still very stubborn and made the children memorize the physics knowledge by rote.

But what is unexpected is that at the same time, advanced carbon-based civilizations from outer space have begun to identify the Earth.

They then selected a group of rural children for testing. All of this stems from the fact that in the same universe, all mathematical, physical, and chemical formulas and laws are common because they are part of the universe.

When life is able to master these laws, it means to a certain extent that advanced civilization can evolve here.

This advanced carbon-based civilization is worth protecting.
That night, it was the three Newton's laws that the children memorized that allowed them to pass the screening test of civilization evolution, and the Earth civilization escaped.
"

That morning, the three of them set up a small shed on the deck and sat on simple chairs.

The weather is overcast today and it looks like a rainstorm is about to fall.

So, at this moment, there were only three people left on the deck, sitting and talking to each other.

Williamson stared at the manuscript in his hand, and after he and Wu Mi had both read it, he began a detailed analysis.

During the analysis, he read the chapter again.

Finally, his eyes stopped on two lines of words.

"

"The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible," said the Supreme Archon.

"The most intelligible thing about the universe is that it is incomprehensible," said the senator.

"

After a long time, Williamson slowly exhaled and spoke in a very firm tone.

“Perfect story.”

Bao Guowei raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that he would be so highly regarded in the other party's eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Mi and Williamson started a discussion on the content of the work "The Rural Teacher".

Wu Mi analyzed the situation from the perspective of the Chinese people and said: "The Chinese people have respected teachers since ancient times. This is the reason why we have been able to survive for five thousand years. The efforts of "he" or "teacher" in the story are exactly the role of teachers in civilization. He allows knowledge to spread in the long river of time.

Whether in the city or in the countryside, whether ignorant or wise, whether in the past or now, they all act as a medium, connecting the innocence of childhood with the rationality of science."

A master is a master after all. Wu Mi often shows his unreliable side in his daily life.

But when it comes to his profession, Wu Mi never lets down his guard.

Following Wu Mi’s analysis, Williamson also made his own further comments on the story.

“I think, on that silent night, all of humanity should be grateful to this teacher, who used his perseverance to change the fate of all mankind.

And at this moment, time and space did not cause any ripples. The gentlemen in high positions did not know, and the ladies who were worried about what to wear tomorrow did not know either. When they saw those country children and teachers, they still showed contempt.

But what they don't know is that they themselves are the ones who are truly despicable, because those ordinary people are the ones who can truly save the world!"

Williamson took a deep breath, and at that moment, he felt the difference of this oriental science fiction work.

Because at its core, today's Western science fiction literature is still stuck on heroic individualism.

This film, "Rural Teacher", focuses on ordinary people.

This teacher was once a gifted child, but now he is just an ordinary person.

Those children, whose families are all worried about their livelihoods, are a group of people who couldn’t be more ordinary.

But it was these people who truly saved the world.

“Isn’t this cooler than those works?”

Williamson smiled and talked to himself.

When facing the final chapter, Williamson and Wu Mi did not feel as surprised or happy as they did when they saw the previous chapters.

On the contrary, after seeing the ending, both of them felt a sense of loss and relief.

This feeling is very subtle.

I don’t know how long it had been, but it started to drizzle, and it was time to end today’s party.

Williamson exhaled, looked at Bao Guowei and said, "Mr. Bao, I think my creations will follow your path for a long time."

Bao Guowei replied: "That's not necessary. Just be yourself. There is always more than one path to literature."

Williamson opened his mouth, then shook his head and said with emotion: "Mr. Bao's words are always thought-provoking."

At this time, Wu Mi said with some curiosity.

"Bingwen, how do you plan to publish such a work?"

Bao Guowei thought for a moment and replied.

“I haven’t decided yet. I think I should find a well-known science fiction magazine in Europe to let more people see this work.”
