Chapter 29, the author is a science student
When night shrouded in downtown Manhattan, the continuous skyscrapers lit up bright neon lights. At the same time, in all the offices where there are still people on duty, the lights are also shining.
This includes a window of Bantam Book Company.
When the manuscript was barely bottomed out, Brown raised his head, stretched out his tired body, and sighed sincerely.
Too wonderful.
Brown has been an editor for fifteen years. Although he has not yet become the editor-in-chief, he is also the one who can match a secretary among the bantams. But this is the first time in such a long time that he has seen such a wonderful science fiction novel!
It is different from the StarCrafts of "The Galactic Empire", and is different from Asifmo's works such as "I, Robots" or "The Gods" in this book. In this book, the author only tells a story that takes place in "modernity".
There is no emphasis on super high technology, no aliens or robots or spacecraft attracting attention, but there are dinosaurs and an island with many dinosaurs as the highlight.
The park, and the author accidentally arranged the story in the 1980s, and it was only five years ahead of the long term. Except for treating the great development of biotechnology as a simple background setting, everything else is exactly the same as the real world.
In this way, when Brown read this book, the sense of immersion really made him feel happy!
"It's already the second half of the night? Oh my God, I actually watched it for twelve hours in one breath!"
Finally, he had energy. When he saw that the clock on the wall was already pointing at two o'clock in the morning, an extreme feeling of joy instantly covered his fatigue, making Brown feel energetic.
It has been a long time since the number of submissions to the bantam has dropped, I have been unable to read this for a while. The whole book is about 300,000 words, and I have read it in one breath in twelve hours!
Furthermore, when recalling the plot of this book, Brown even admired the author 120,000.
First of all, the plot is necessary, but the author's method of laying the groundwork for the official appearance of dinosaurs and even their cruelty is really terrifyingly real.
The essence of the plot tells the story of the story is the story of a carnivorous dragon on the dinosaur island fleeing to land and unintentionally hurting people. Of course, the author did not reveal the truth from the perspective of humans and several biologists, but created a terrifying suspense atmosphere.
The so-called worker injured at the construction site had his skin torn to pieces, his shoulders and thighs were peeled off, and he was poisoned and unconscious after leaving the word "Bird of Prey". The baby in the cradle was attacked by a carnivorous dinosaur the size of a small lizard, and the thin and tender skin on his face was torn off and eaten.
The opening example and the description in the foreword make the thrilling and suspenseful atmosphere always surround the readers, which further stimulates Brown to continue reading.
Furthermore, the author obviously has a deep understanding of the computer industry that is developing rapidly. The manuscript contains a large amount of descriptions of computer technology, and even makes screenshots of certain operating interfaces without getting tired of it. Under the autocratic decision of the park investor Hammond, the entire park adopts a full computer monitoring system across the ages, and even the number of dinosaurs is detected by sensors.
As soon as he saw this, Brown immediately realized that these computers were definitely unreliable.
The subsequent plot just confirms his point of view.
The total number of dinosaurs is X, and the number detected by the detector is Y. As long as Y is not less than X and no dinosaurs are lost, everything will be fine.
This is the monitoring method of park staff, and they discovered a fatal loophole until the park lost control and dinosaurs fled, endangering the safety of the children.
What if Y is greater than X?
Originally, eight velocity dragons had unknowingly reproduced to a total of thirty-seven...
Moreover, the author presents these data in a table analog display. The Arabic numeral on the left and the numeral on the right are 37. Looking at the obvious difference, when he read there, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on Brown.
The technique is really clever!
After being an editor for fifteen years, Brown certainly knew the impact of simple Arabic numerals. In terms of data, in many cases, it is much more efficient to list numbers directly than to state texts. Otherwise, why can Arabic numerals be widely circulated, and accounting statements also use numbers as the main data?
Giving the table directly, the comparison of Arabic numerals of 8 and 37 is much more exciting than describing how velociraptors reproduce!
"This author is simply a genius, with superb writing, amazing imagination, rich biology knowledge, proficient in computer science, and has been exploring environmental knowledge in man and nature, human and biological, as well as biological evolution from the very beginning. He...who is he?"
With this question in mind, Brown curiously opened the last page of the manuscript.
“Um……………………”
When it was already early in the night in New York, it was already eleven o'clock in the night in Los Angeles on the West Coast.
"Well... look, Hannah, they're still guarding outside."
In front of the bedroom window, Alice was wearing blue spotted white pajamas and looked out the window. Just across the street from her house, Officer Sergei's police car was parked there, more than ten meters apart, and she could clearly see the man in the driver's seat.
"It's so hard. The police work is really hard. Sister, when I brought him water before, I found that Mr. Sergei was just a hamburger for dinner."
Hannah was wearing pink spotted pajamas, which matched her long crimson wavy hair. She was sitting on the side of the window sill with her small mouth pouting.
"You said, are there really any serial murderers around here? Although the three high school students were indeed missing and a full gallon of blood was found, but..."
"But the DNA test results have come out after all."
Alice touched her nose and asked Hannah to send water. At present, police officers Sergey and Polynn belong to the morning and evening shift system, after all, it is just a routine simple protection. If two policemen were staying by their side 24 hours a day without any fatigue, Alice would have to be ashamed to death.
"That gallon of blood is indeed the three of them, and it's thanks to the complete physical examination facilities of Lincoln High School. Tsk, Hannah, what you see now is only a small part. God knows that in the Luocheng Police Summer, are there more than a dozen people setting up a special task force for this? Think about it..."
Listening to Alice chattering, Hannah just blinked her big bright eyes and looked at her admiringly.
elder sister!
Since he was very young and since he was sensible, Hannah has grown up almost listening to her sister's myth.
Not just how smart it is. Hannah knew that she still didn't understand what stocks are. But that's it. Just two years older than her, Alice could convince her parents to buy stocks and make so much money!
Hannah didn't understand Apple, IBM and some other companies at all. She just knew that not long after Alice convinced her parents to buy their shares, the family became particularly rich!
Especially Apple, December 12, 1980, was what it was on, and the date of listing of Nasdaq. Hannah didn't understand what this concept was. What she knew was that her family now gets hundreds of thousands of dollars in dividends every year because she bought its huge initial stock!
And it's higher than one year!
And this is because of Alice, because of her sister’s words to her parents!
For example, at this moment, Alice began to make her unable to understand again, such as "haunted and thrilling suspense is not suitable for Los Angeles", or "Los Angeles should be an action blockbuster", and "Things like me should happen in small towns on the East Coast".
So, Hannah interrupted her: "By the way Alice, how is your book written? I have never seen you write before. Can it pass the review of the publisher?"
"Of course, my work must be the best!"
Alice's tone was exaggerated and high-pitched. She instantly stood up straight, holding her C-Cup's full size, as if she was not afraid of her sister's envy and jealousy. She put her hands on her hips and said loudly.
"And don't forget the efficiency of FedEx! They probably have received the goods now! Wait and see Hannah, wait and see your dear good sister transform into an excellent legendary writer! Humph, that girl Xixi dares to question my ability to write books, see how she wants me to write a sequel!"
"……sequel?"
Hanna blinked her big eyes: "The main story has just sent out the express delivery, and you have the idea of a sequel!?"
My sister is worthy of being an older sister, she is so amazing!
"Of course, I've already thought of the title of the book, and there's a cover!"
Facing Hannah's admiring eyes, how could Alice not make her majestic C-Cup bigger?
"Jurassic Park II: The Lost World! And the cover must be red! Of course, the cover of this film must be green, and then there must be a skeleton dinosaur pattern, surrounded by a circle of tropical rainforest borders, and the header is a car that is turned over. When the publisher comes to ask me, this is a condition that takes precedence over everything!"
"Wow, it looks amazing, but why? Alice?"
"Well...this..."
Alice's eyes were rolling around and finally decided that there was nothing wrong with telling the truth.
Chapter completed!
