I Really Didn’t Want to Be the Savior

After Liu Card, a mixed-race Chinese guy, recognized Chen Feng, his face suddenly became bloodshot and red behind the glasses.

"Are you...Are you Chen Feng Teacher Chen?"

Chen Feng's expressionless nodded, "Yes. What's wrong? Do you know me?"

"My Heavens! How could I not recognize you!"

Liu Card suddenly covered his mouth, covered his face with excitement and started crying, choked up and said with a vibrato: "I...I... I’m sorry I’m so excited. Last month, my teacher and I participated in part of the calculation of your guess collection. I really... I really admire you! Sorry, I’m so sorry, I can’t help myself. Feeling. I didn't expect to meet you here. I...I..." Master Chen looked up at the sky.

He thought of such a sentence silently in his heart.

What a simple and lovely youngster.

Why...

I am guilty!

The player who has been regarded as the best sci-fi writer in at least a hundred years and is also the target of his own plagiarism is treated with such a respectful attitude, Master Chen has mixed feelings.

Wait?

It doesn't seem to be the first time.

Why am I still red?

Hey, this man, if he wants to face, he can't do things without taboos after all.

It took a few more seconds for Chen Feng to adjust his mood.

His grandiose patted opposite the shoulders of the peers, "Don’t get excited, calm down, I’m at the worst than you."

James Diaz coughs two clear coughs. The sound signaled Liu Card to pay attention to the influence.

Huh...hu hu...

It took Liu Card about ten seconds of deep breathing before he calmed down. He smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry."

Compared to the confident and arrogant Ryan, although Liu Card is also a top student at Berkeley, his personality is much more modest and introverted. He even seems a little inferior and likes to apologize.

Chen Feng knows why.

Liu Card is very smart, but his identity of mixed Chinese and Russian makes him very embarrassed, and his personal characteristics are so obvious that others can easily recognize him at a glance.

Some of the experience of being excluded from childhood has been hidden in his heart, creating an indelible shadow, making him not good at words, but only like recording his thoughts in words.

"It's okay." Chen Feng waved his hand, "You don't need to be so excited, let alone undervalue oneself. You can become a great person in the future. I am nothing great. I have one nose and two eyes. "

Chen Feng, this is a very polite encouragement.

He is considering whether he can do something to call Liu Card, right as compensation.

You can't just give him money directly, then Chen Feng will be suspected of sexual orientation.

Just inspiration is really difficult to tell. Chen Feng will not know how to give the other party a complete inspiration for a while.

Literature is no better than music.

Music inspiration bursts. It is often short-term ideas that stimulate long-term life experiences, and then surging out like a volcanic eruption, so Zhong Lei can be copied more and more strongly.

Of course, it is also possible that Zhong Lei is too Heaven Blessed Genius.

Liu Card was snatched by Chen Feng, but it took him nearly 20 years to slowly complete a complete "Pang Great World".

So it is very difficult for Chen Feng to give him another Great World.

Master Chen himself is not a competitor who is good at creating stories. It is a bit difficult.

"Teacher Chen, you are really humble."

"You should."

At this time, James has already seen that Chen Feng attaches great importance to this youngster. Simply let Liu Card, who is also very familiar with the set environment, act as a guide for Chen Feng.

He just got out of his body and turned to ponder the setting he was building.

James' arrangement fits Chen Feng's intentions.

"Card, let's leave a contact information."

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 excellent student at Berkeley. He has a wide range of knowledge and is very serious and meticulous in his work. Basically, when facing important settings, he can tell the intention of James's arrangement in the first place.

Chen Feng just started listening with keen interest pleasure.

After all, he himself is about to invest in movies. Knowing more about the ideas of big-name directors will help him turn back to be a good consultant.

But not long after, Chen Feng gradually lost interest because Liu Card’s explanation was too detailed, and he happened to know the box office and word-of-mouth status of James’ film. Not a classic.

About an hour later, on the beach outside the studio, under a sun umbrella, Chen Feng sat on a chair with his legs crossed. As for Liu Card, he stayed beside him very restrained.

"Card, do you like science fiction?"

"Of course I do."

"What is your favorite?"

Liu Card pondered for a moment, ""Light King", "Ring World", "Does Bionics Dream of an Electronic Sheep", "Base" series."

Chen Feng gave a thumbs up "Good foresight. But have you found a problem."

"What?"

"Many recognized classic long science fiction novels were mostly produced in several decades or even nearly a hundred years ago Although there have been good science fictions in recent years, the number of classic novels is completely incomparable with the past. Why do you think this is? Is it because the current readers are thick and thin?"

Liu Ka De was a little embarrassed, "Sorry, I don’t really understand the meaning of being thick and thin. My Chinese level is relatively average."

"It’s that contemporary people will always admire previous stories in particular. Contemporary works are preconceived and contemptuous. Even if the quality of these works is actually not superior or inferior."

When talking like this, Chen Feng remembered Liu Card’s own "Star" in the early timeline. "River Immortal" series.

This book became a classic and was adapted into a famous movie, which also happened in several decades after his death.

When Liu Card was still alive, "Star River Is Unbreakable" was often sprayed.

Liu Card chewed Chen Feng's meaning, "I understand. But I think it may be these amazing authors who used the vision of several decades in advance, cut in from the perspective of pure fantasy, and found it reasonable enough. The scientific basis for the future, the theory of the future described in the masterpiece, has gradually been recognized over the years. Technological progress has proved that some originally purely overhead theories actually have a certain factual basis, and their illusions in several decades ago have gradually become It’s now the subject, so it’s been classified as a classic."

Chen Feng nodded with a smile, "Yes, even if a book is wrong, there are only a few points in it. Yes, the story itself is logical, then this book is a good science fiction. But this does not explain why there are fewer and fewer contemporary classic science fiction. You have to know that the books you mentioned just now Not long after the birth, he gained a huge influence."

Liu Card thought for a long time, but shook his head helplessly, "This is too esoteric, Teacher Chen, do you know the reason?"

Chen Feng nodded, "I do know."

Chen Master has a conclusion in his mind, but this is not his original creation, but a summary from many historians and literary and art workers in multiple timelines.

When human civilization entered the 21st century AD, as time went on, humans seemed to have lost their imagination, and the sci-fi works created thereafter were not in the generations.

Science fiction is becoming more and more fictional, and less and less sci-fi.

For example, in the eighth timeline, in the 21st century, there were works such as "Three-Body", "Star River Immortal", "Clockwork Girl", "Mr. Shadow", etc., but they have become irreversible. Waning.

By the twenty-fifth century, there were only one or two books left. One of them was Chen Feng's biographical novel "Feng Lei".

Master Chen expresses spicy eyes.

After the time reaches the 30th century, it will be even worse.

Don't talk about the great novels, even the movies are gone, which makes Chen Feng very painful.

One is that he can only watch "antique old movies" in his leisure time in the thirty-first century, and the other is that this makes him worry about whether mankind has really lost the ability to imagine the future.

That’s why he devoted his energy to researching historical materials, and only then did he figure out the accepted views of scholars.

Now he is going to call Liu Card a little bit, so he will start with the science fiction of the 21st century.

"First of all, we can analyze a phenomenon. Do you think that the fantasy elements in science fiction, movies, and TV series in recent years have become heavier, but the scientific element has become lower and lower?"

p>

Liu Card: "Yes. But why?"

"Because the more human beings know, the more they understand the nature of the universe. We are pursuing the relationship between truth and fantasy. The balance between the two will inevitably be biased towards the truth. Our imagination will gradually decline with the advancement of technology. In addition, do you know what is the definition of a good long science fiction?"

Liu Card: "Based on the present, focusing on the future, the future scientific background outlined must conform to theoretical expectations, and the discussion and description of human nature must have a true sense of sociology."

Chen Feng nodded, "Well said. Then let me ask you one more question. How long will it take for an ordinary person to join Newton's laboratory to become an experimental assistant? How long does it take to study and what is the level of knowledge? Now, take yourself as an example. How long does it take for an ordinary person to become a research assistant in a key laboratory at Berkeley University? How many years of study does it need to master?"

Liu Ka De gradually understood, "I understand. First of all, the classic long science fiction impossible only revolves around a few characters and a single future technology. It must have a complete and sufficiently grand view of the world. Then it must Dabble on all aspects of science and technology in the future world. Tens or even a hundred years ago, an excellent science fiction writer also needed to read a lot of books and keep 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 contained in each subject is too large."

"Science and technology hotspots generated at every moment of every day More and more, some classic theories in the past have been being subverted. To become a perfect science fiction writer, the knowledge that needs to be mastered is too amazing, and it is difficult to learn it with human energy, so it is inevitable in creation. There are fallacies and controversies. Therefore, it is more and more difficult for people to write classic science fiction novels, and this difficulty will continue to increase with the further sublimation of the refined division of labor in society."

Chen Feng nodded, "Yes, your opinion is basically correct. Maybe in a few hundred years, mankind will have no science fiction novels and movies to watch. After a thousand years, there will be only one theme left in science fiction works. ."

"What theme?"

"Time travels."

"Uh...I understand."

Topic chat At this point, Chen Feng chose to stop.

There are only so many tips he can give Liu Card.

As for what Liu Card can do, everyone has his own life.

Next, Liu Card was a little curious to ask about the questionnaire survey conducted by Chen Feng with Professor Oxford in China a few days ago.

He wants to know whether the results of the investigation are true.

Chen Feng told him that of course it was true.

"So people who can speak Chinese do so much better in the face of the doomsday than people who only speak English?"

Chen Feng laughed, "Maybe, who knows Well. Before it happened, everything was speculation."

"Teacher Chen, I thought of the idea of ​​a science fiction story."

Liu Card said suddenly.

"What?"

"I'm thinking, if there is a Chinese person, he can travel through a Space-Time Tunnel after a thousand years and really see the end. Then this tunnel It is strange that whenever he is about to die in the doomsday, he will be pulled back to the present. Then he can pass again after a while. Do you think he will really try to do something to change the future and save the doomsday? What would you do?"

"Ouch, I..."

Chen Feng almost jumped out of his chair.

I'm just giving you some hints, do you want to be so smart!

You are a monster, right?

Something went wrong with the click.

It seems that "Feng Lei" will be hatched in advance.

Chinese? Do you think I can't understand the hint?

I'm still alive, you are going to erect a monument for me?

Which is it going to cause trouble?
