Chapter 427 A Great Work

Shi Jing is a science fiction enthusiast.

His favorite is science fiction novels. He has read almost all the famous science fiction works at home and abroad.

However, in recent years, Shi Jing found that there are few science fiction works worth reading in Longguo. Foreign science fiction works have set new records, but domestic science fiction seems to be stagnant, which makes Shi Jing very disappointed.

As a science fiction enthusiast, Shi Jing hopes that Longguo's science fiction can stand at the top of the world.

But this is obviously a pipe dream. The quality of the winning works of Longguo Science Fiction Award in recent years has been getting lower and lower, which also confirms the decline of Longguo science fiction from the side.

However, he still pays close attention to Longguo Science Fiction Award. After all, this is Longguo's leading science fiction award. Maybe there will be surprises. As a result, the first news about this year's science fiction award was that the famous martial arts writer Luoyang submitted a science fiction and was eliminated in the first round...

After this news was exposed, many netizens laughed at Luoyang for overestimating his ability.

Shi Jing also felt speechless. A martial arts writer ran to write science fiction. This kind of thing probably only appears in novels.

Oh no, it doesn't necessarily appear in novels. I remember there was a terrifying existence in history, an American hundreds of years ago, called [Middar Finch]. This person was not only good at writing novels, but also sculpting.

He was also a painter with profound thoughts, profound knowledge, and versatile talents...

However, it is difficult for a person like Middar Finch to appear in hundreds of years. Does Luoyang think he has this ability?

So Shi Jing found it funny about this matter. Luoyang is now the most famous literati of the younger generation of Longguo. He won the Times Classic Award at a young age. He is really a genius. Shi Jing also admires this.

But admiration is admiration, he doesn't think Luoyang can write any wonderful science fiction novels.

Therefore, when Luoyang participated in the Longguo Science Fiction Award and was eliminated in the first round, Shi Jing just smiled and was too lazy to express his opinion.

But things took a turn. Luoyang actually claimed on Weibo that his work was treated unfairly-is there a shady deal?

Shi Jing had a moment of doubt in his heart, but he still didn't think highly of Luoyang. He just followed Luoyang's Weibo to see what would happen next. This was the nature of the Dragon people to like lively things, and there was nothing strange about it.

Until two minutes ago, Luoyang posted a Weibo.

He said, I will purify your soul, and then he released a novel.

Shi Jing didn't know who Luoyang was targeting when he said purifying the soul, but he was still very interested in the novel released by Luoyang, because the novel released by Luoyang should be the science fiction work that he was eliminated in the first round.

Clicking on the novel called "The Sad One", Shi Jing started reading it.

As an old bookworm, Shi Jing read novels very quickly. He read half of it in a blink of an eye: "It seems to be interesting..."

Shi Jing was aroused by "The Sad One". He didn't find any science fiction settings that caught his eye, so Shi Jing immediately judged that Luoyang should write soft science fiction. There was nothing strange about this. Soft science fiction is also science fiction.

In various science fiction awards, soft science fiction often wins the crown.

Although real science fiction fans prefer hard science fiction, soft science fiction is also worth reading.

As the plot deepened, Shi Jing slowed down his reading speed. The outline of the story had come out. The protagonist of this novel is a lonely explorer who has mastered a theory that is far ahead of his time, and this theory is not accepted by people.

"The plot wins, this is where soft science fiction attracts people..."

Shi Jing murmured to himself. He had begun to immerse himself in the story and couldn't help but worry about the future of the protagonist.

And when he saw that the protagonist took his mother's savings for several years and insisted on publishing his work at his own expense, but was cheated by the publishing house, Shi Jing's fists were slightly clenched.

Then the plot became more and more depressing. Although the protagonist's theory was published, no one bought it. No one was interested in his work, including the protagonist's mentor and even the protagonist's girlfriend. They couldn't stand the protagonist's persistence and threw themselves into the arms of others.

"This is the helplessness of an explorer, and this is the sadness of an era!"

Shi Jing's voice suppressed a sense of anger, and a strong sense of sourness stirred in his heart.

He suppressed his discomfort and continued to read on. As expected, the protagonist of the story went crazy and was admitted to a mental hospital.

The person who always took care of the protagonist was his mother, a mother who had little education and looked a little ignorant. She did not feel sorry for the savings she had earned from her youth for decades, which turned into theoretical works that no one cared about after they were published.

She just felt sorry for her poor son.

At the end of the story, it was hundreds of years later. The protagonist's theory was recognized by the whole world.

The reason why the protagonist's theory could be passed down hundreds of years later was just because of a poor and great mother's love for her son.

At the beginning, the protagonist's mother just wanted to deceive her son and make him happy. With her level, she had no idea what was written in it, and she had no idea what kind of book it was, so she secretly put this masterpiece that shone with immortal light in the library of a primary school...

When he saw this, Shi Jing suddenly found that his face was a little wet.

He knew that he cried. He had read science fiction novels for many years, but it was the first time he cried.

From an outsider's point of view, the protagonist's mother's behavior would seem absurd and ridiculous, but she was just following a mother's instinct. From beginning to end, she only knew one thing, that is, she had a good child, and this was what her good child chose to do.

This is the story of "The Heartbroken".

Wiping away his tears, Shi Jing suddenly felt a little angry.

He was not angry about the novel, but angry that such a science fiction work was eliminated in the first round!

It can be said that "The Heartbroken", a soft science fiction, is definitely one of the top ten short science fictions that Shi Jing has read!

The Dragon Country Science Fiction Award, a top award in Dragon Country, almost made a great science fiction work tarnished. Is it because the science fiction association itself has been embezzling and inactive in recent years that the science fiction in Dragon Country has regressed so much in recent years? ?

Unable to suppress his anger, Shi Jing posted several comments in a row:

"Strongly request a thorough investigation of the Longguo Science Fiction Award! This award is now tarnished!"

"Even a science fiction work like "The Heartbroken" was almost buried. Is there any reason for this!"

"Everyone, take action and make the Longguo Science Fiction Award apologize. This is the most basic respect for a great work!"
