Afterword and everything related to this book
Here are some answers to some questions that students have been curious about.
Question: What was the original intention of writing this book?
The author's original intention in writing this book was very simple, just to see if he could write a story with as few characters and as simple scenes as possible.
Doing this has brought me a lot of trouble and created many creative problems - this book cannot have the plot elements that most online novels should have, there is no simple and clear main line, and there are no villains and characters.
It is difficult to construct conflicts and contradictions in the plot. The protagonists can only fight against the external environment. Due to the limitations of the characters and background, the plot is difficult to advance. I will not do such a thankless task in the future.
Q: Where did the inspiration for this book come from?
When I first started writing this book, readers mentioned "The Martian" more than once in the book review section - I have seen the movie "The Martian" but have not read the original book yet.
The source of inspiration for this book is not "The Martian", although the background and technical details of the two books are somewhat similar, but an old joke widely circulated on the Internet, "If you see the earth explode after landing on the moon, you will
What will be the reaction?”
Yes, that is the root of all evil.
Question: Why design a character like Lao Mao who is obviously out of touch with modern technology?
because I like it.
I like cats, so I wrote about a cat.
Q: How would you position this book?
In the Qidian science fiction area, one of the favorite things readers like to do is to debate the definitions of hard science fiction and soft science fiction. Some more extreme readers even believe that only the technical background in the book is completely based on existing or known modern theoretical foundations.
Only then can it be called hard science fiction.
I don’t want to label what I write. The classification criteria for so-called hard science fiction and soft science fiction are vague. Most works in the world fall somewhere in between.
I just wrote a story that I wanted to write. Whether I consulted a large amount of literature or consulted professionals, I did this just to satisfy my own logic control, not to fit the work into a shell called hard science fiction.
Qiangse, if I want, I can make the sun revolve around the earth, no matter what the hardness or softness is?
Question: Is the plot rhythm too tight?
Due to space limitations, cramming so much plot content into 600,000 words inevitably makes it seem compact.
Q: Why is the update so slow?
Non-professional author, please forgive me.
As we all know, except for the top few domestic science fiction authors, all of them use love to generate electricity.
Question: Ending question?
This book actually prepares two endings - yes, there is a total destruction ending.
But readers voted to burn that ending.
The rest of the happy ending will make some readers dissatisfied, and I know this, after all, it’s difficult to reconcile everyone’s opinions.
If you want to blame it, it's my fault that the author is too low-level and can't write an ending that satisfies everyone.
But there are already so many disappointments in real life, why not give them a happy ending.
Question: Why is the training center in this article in Jiuquan and not Wenchang?
Because Jiuquan is close to the desert.
Question: Does the author have a girlfriend?
No.
Single mother and fetus (barking like a dog.
Q: New book plan?
The current situation at the starting point is a bit grim and I dare not act rashly. The new book is expected to be released in September.
Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all friends who have provided help in the creation of this book.
Chapter completed!
