After rebirth, I became a great writer.

Chapter 214 Is This the Mind of a Genius?

In the early morning, the gorgeous morning glow dyed half of the sky red, and sprinkled soft colors in the world. The campus of Kyoto University was no longer silent, and there were bursts of noise from the classrooms.

Almost every student in the classroom is talking about the literature competition. Although many students did not participate, it does not mean that they do not pay attention.

And in a classroom, when everyone was talking about their entries, the topic would always be on Chen Tianhong, which is understandable, who made Chen Tianhong the champion of the middle school student competition last time.

Even if the quality of middle school students' literature competitions is higher than that of college students' literature competitions, the gold content of the champions is different. Not only that, but those who can enter the top are all concerned.

So some people asked about Yu Zhijie's work again. Besides him, there were several other students in the first class who also entered the top , and one of them was a top contestant, and this top contestant was the monitor of class , Xia Lian. .

"Chen Tianhong, I heard that the work you are preparing this time is still science fiction! Can you tell us the general story!"

"Yes, yes! Is there any difference from "Country Teacher"?"

"Is it hard sci-fi or soft sci-fi?"

"Are you confident that you can get No.1 again?"

Chen Tianhong was surrounded by classmates, and everyone began to ask questions in one go.

After more than a month of getting along, the students in class one are very familiar with each other. Except for a few people who are withdrawn, everyone gets along pretty well.

As for the questions they asked, Chen Tianhong did not answer, because someone had already answered them for him. They were his three roommates, among whom Gao Wanfeng and Ximenxue were the most active, and Yu Zhijie added a few sentences from time to time.

They had already finished reading "The Wandering Planet" written by Chen Tianhong yesterday. After reading it, the three of them were shocked and said "Niu X" in unison.

So at the moment, when they say it, they are very respectful in their words, but they are also very careful, what should be said, and what should be kept secret should be kept secret.

Chen Tianhong is naturally happy and leisurely, this kind of thing of explaining the plot of the novel is the most troublesome.

"Hmph, I don't believe you can still win the first place this time."

Chi Xianda looked at the lively scene around Chen Tianhong, and then looked at the lonely person around him, his eyes were full of jealousy.

However, he only dared to say a few sour words in his heart, and after being slapped in the face again and again, Chi Xianda also learned to behave, and did not dare to target Chen Tianhong in the open.

At this time, Xia Lian, the class monitor, walked into the classroom. She had just gone to the office to hand in the entries of the students in the class, and she also got a message.

"Be quiet, everyone. I have something to tell you. Our morning class is temporarily cancelled. Teacher Lu received a temporary notice to go to the administration building to review the work, so... we have half a day off, free activities!"

Xia Lian stepped onto the podium and said the news that made everyone happy.

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards Chen Tianhong.

"Student Chen Tianhong, do you have something to do later?"

After approaching, Xia Lianqiao asked with a smile, looking at Chen Tianhong with watery eyes.

She didn't finish her sentence, as long as Chen Tianhong said it was okay, the next step would definitely be an invitation.

So the surroundings became quiet, and Chen Tianhong felt the coldness in an instant, it was the eyes of his compatriots.

Even the "King of the Sea" Ximenxue has paid attention to Xia Lian, let alone other boys.

"I'm going back to the dormitory to write a novel later. "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" is almost finished, so I need to think about it."

Chen Tianhong replied without any hesitation.

He really wanted to go back to the dormitory to catch up on sleep, and to save the manuscript for the novel after waking up.

Besides, as a married man, he still has to abide by the bottom line of principles. If he can't give the promise he wants, he shouldn't be ambiguous. This is not only irresponsible to himself, but also unintentionally hurt Xia Lian.

Hearing Chen Tianhong's answer, the male compatriots all heaved a sigh of relief, and even the coldness on him dissipated a lot.

Disappointment flashed in Xia Lian's eyes, but she didn't say anything, and instead chatted with Chen Tianhong about the entry.

Regarding this, Chen Tianhong did not let Ximenxue and the others answer for him, but spoke out by himself. After all, he just rejected him, and then put on a cold appearance, which is a bit too much.

At the same time, in the administrative building of Kyoto University, the large conference room is a busy scene.

Dozens of university teachers were busy, and more than half of them were teachers from the literature department, including the teacher Lu that Xia Lian just mentioned.

Everyone has a large stack of file bags by their side, and the bags are naturally filled with the entries of the students.

The teachers had to review the students' entries before noon, keep the good ones, and hand them over to the head of the Department of Literature and several senior professors, who finally decided to submit the works to the Writers Association of the headquarters.

Kyoto University has a total of tens of thousands of college students, but only one-fifth of the students participated in this literary competition.

Literary competitions attract a lot of attention, but not every student is willing to participate. After all, everyone knows how good they are.

There are nearly 2000 entries this time. As a top university, Kyoto University was also ranked at the top last year, so there are more quotas for submissions, but even so, less than one-tenth of the entries can be left in the end.

"Have you delivered the manuscripts for this year's new language major class?"

A gray-haired old man over half a century old asked out loud. He was Hong Tao, the head of the Department of Literature.

"Director, I just brought it here, I haven't had time to read it yet."

"I'll take a look at the manuscripts of class one, and you read the manuscripts of other classes."

Hong Tao couldn't wait for others to give it to him, so he got up and went to get it himself.

This anxious look made an old man sitting next to him couldn't help laughing.

"Old Hong, don't worry! The manuscript won't run away! You see, I'm not in a hurry at all. Since the kid is in our school, we can definitely get No.1 this time, stabilizing Guanghua University."

"Old man Li, don't be in a hurry. I'm in a hurry. I won't be able to win the first place. The leader scolded me! It's not you. Don't be too optimistic. You forgot about Qiao Qing in the last session. Don't forget that Guanghua University also has a genius this year!"

Hong Tao rolled his eyes angrily, and his hands had already begun to break up the manuscripts in progress.

Hearing Qiao Qing from Hong Tao's mouth, the old man called Li old man's expression darkened, and he didn't speak again.
Like Chen Tianhong, Qiao Qing once won the championship in a literature competition for middle school students, and was successfully recruited by Kyoto University.

I thought I could sit back and relax, but it turned out that Qiao Qing was only No. 5 in that college student literature competition, and didn't even make it to the top three. Instead, the students recruited by Guanghua University won the first place.

And that student was ranked behind Qiao Qing at the beginning, just like Chen Tianhong and Yuan Haotian, one first and the other second.

"Old Hong, Chen Tianhong and Qiao Qing are not the same. We must be confident that none of the works in the past few competitions can surpass "Country Teacher". We can secure first place.”

Another professor dressed as an old pedant gave words of comfort,

"That's the case, but good works can't be written so easily! Let's not talk about these things, old man Li, deputy director Ma, let's divide the manuscripts, and we will know the result after reading it."

While speaking, Hong Tao had already divided the manuscript into three parts and handed them out to two people respectively.

There are a total of 22 works in a class participating in the competition. It can be said that more than half of the students have participated. After all, they are literature majors, and the proportion of students participating in the class will be higher.

Deputy Director Ma and Old Man Li didn't speak any more, and instead went to review the manuscript carefully.

Literary works in the competition for college students will also not be signed, only the school name and serial number.

"White Ferry on the Yellow Reed Bank, Red Polygonum Beach Head on the Green Poplar Embankment. Pointing to the Autumn River, the writing style of the student Bailu Shaou is very good! He also added verses to the prose, yes! Not bad! You can stay!"

A few minutes later, Deputy Director Ma looked at a manuscript and praised it.

"Okay, stay here! Keep looking."

Hong Tao said something without raising his head. The two sentences that Deputy Director Ma read sounded good, but they were definitely not what he was looking for.

What the three of them most wanted to find was Chen Tianhong's works.

As for why I didn't ask in advance, when I asked Chen Tianhong, he only said that he could write a novel, but he didn't mention the specific title and plot setting of the novel.

Moreover, according to the requirements of the competition system, tutors are not allowed to help college students in the literary competition. Once they are found out, they will be directly disqualified. This is also for the sake of fairness.

"Huh? Science fiction, "The Wandering Earth", the name is a bit strange!"

At this time, the old man Li next to him muttered.

"Earth" is the name of the planet in the previous life, but in this world it is "Wen Xing", so just relying on the name of the novel will not allow old man Li to substitute it in.

"Science fiction, is it written by Chen Tianhong?"

Hearing the word science fiction, Hong Tao's ears perked up, and he asked aloud.

However, his eyes were still reviewing the manuscript. He also read a science fiction novel just now, but the quality was average. It was obviously not written by Chen Tianhong.

"Old Hong, if you're really in a hurry, you can just go to that kid and ask about the novel and you're done! The students in class one this year are pretty good! I've read a few of them, and I feel like they can all be among the top in the country."

The words were picked up by Deputy Director Ma, and he was in a good mood.

"Find it and confirm it! There are not many manuscripts left, so it must be here."

But old man Li didn't reply, he had already read the text again.

The beginning of the text is six big characters, [Part : Brake Era]

"Part ? Brake era? What do you mean, short science fiction novels should be divided into top, middle and bottom! Strange."

Old man Li was puzzled, he wanted to know what the brake era meant.

I have never seen the night, I have never seen the stars, I have never seen spring, autumn and winter.

I was born at the end of the brake era, when the earth had just stopped turning.

It took 42 years for the earth to brake on its rotation. My mother told me that our family watched the last sunset. The sun set very slowly, as if it stopped on the horizon, and it took three days and three nights to set.

Of course, there will be no "day" and no "night" in the future
"Stop turning? Sun horizon. I get it."

Old man Li was thoughtful.

From the descriptions in the first few paragraphs, we can know that the "earth" in the article should be similar to the "literary planet" they live in, and it also revolves around the sun in addition to its rotation.

The so-called brake means that the earth stops its rotation and does not rotate, so there is no distinction between "day and night" as mentioned in the book.

It's just that old man Li is curious about what kind of technology can stop a planet from rotating.
Dusk does not mean dark, the earth's engine illuminates the entire northern hemisphere brightly
There are earth engines in total, distributed on the plains of Asia and America.
From where I live, I can see the plasma beams from hundreds of engines.

"Earth engine? Plasma beam. Ion thruster! So it's this technology."

Old man Li knew the technical principle of making the "earth" stop rotating, and at the same time basically confirmed that this novel was written by Chen Tianhong.

Because they all know what Chen Tianhong studied with Ji Taidong, and Ji Taidong's recent experiments are related to "ion thrusters".

Although he knew the principle, old man Li became more curious. What would stop a planet from rotating?
We must know that after the rotation is stopped, the natural ecosystem will be greatly affected, and human survival will be very difficult.

With such curiosity, he continued to read.

As the plot progresses, he gradually understands that the story is the memory of the protagonist. The opening chapter recalls that when he was a child, he left the ground with his teacher and went to visit the ground.

They saw huge plasma engines, almost destroyed ecosystems, and ruins of various high-rise buildings.
These introductions alone have consumed a lot of pen and ink, and the description of these scenes makes old man Li feel a little heavy.

And the next few words in the book made him even more fearful.
The protagonist in the book remembered the riddle given by his teacher.

"You are walking on the plain, and suddenly you encounter a wall facing you. This wall is infinitely high up, infinitely deep down, infinitely far to the left, and infinitely far to the right. What is this wall?"

yes!What does this wall represent?

Old man Li guessed for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out, so he continued to read the next sentence.

The answer to the mystery is revealed to be death!
"die."

Seeing these two heavy characters, old man Li felt his heart tugging instantly.
Such a scene appeared in his mind, the wall described in the book blocked his way, the wall was very high!Very heavy!No matter which direction you go, you will encounter this wall in the end!

In the end, the wall fell down and pressed towards him, but he had no way to hide, no way to avoid it!Until being crushed under the wall and dying under the infinite gravity.

Although old man Li has passed most of his life, the last thing he wants to face is death.

Death is the most frightening thing because it represents endless darkness and endless loneliness.
This is also a problem that everyone in the world does not want to face.

Can live, who wants to die?
But in the end, we have to face it. No one can avoid it. It's just this problem. No one will take the initiative to think about it, because thinking about it will make the heart heavy, very heavy.

"It's such an indescribable description of death."

Old man Li smiled wryly, he shook his head, shaking off the fear in his heart
The protagonist and his classmates have finally come to the horizon, and they are about to visit the last sight, sunrise!

And when the teacher said these two words, all the children were trembling with fright, hiding in the cabin and not daring to come out.

To be precise, they are not afraid of watching the sunrise, but they are afraid of seeing the sun!
Then old man Li saw the sunrise in the eyes of the children.
The original text reads like this: [Finally, we saw the frightening flame. It was just a bright spot on the Tianshui line at first, but it grew rapidly and gradually showed the shape of an arc.
Then I felt something in my throat, I was suffocating with fear, the deck seemed to disappear beneath me, and I was falling into the abyss of the sea, falling... and the other children, all the other people, The whole world is falling. 】

"My God! Is this how the sun rises? Why are they afraid of the sun?"

Old man Li was taken aback by this unusual sunrise scene, and at the same time a question arose in his mind.

Because in this world, the description of the sunrise has always been beautiful, and the sun is also synonymous with warmth.

He doesn't understand why the students and even the teachers in the book are afraid when they see the sun.

And the following plot explained his doubts.

It turns out that more than three centuries ago, physicists on the earth suddenly discovered that the speed of converting hydrogen into helium inside the sun suddenly accelerated, and this would lead to the fusion of helium elements, resulting in violent explosions
The explosion will blow up and engulf all habitable terrestrial planets in the solar system, including the earth.

"No wonder they are afraid of the sun. It turns out that the sun is a disaster for them!"

Seeing this, old man Li felt relieved, and the fear of substitution just now was also eliminated.

In fact, scientists in this world have done similar deduction. The things described in the book are supported by theory, and it is possible that such a phenomenon will really appear one day in the future.

It's just that it will take a long, long time to happen, after several trillion years, it will definitely not happen within 400 years as described in the book.

The answer to the riddle was solved, but a new riddle was also created. How did they solve this problem in the book?
Old man Li already had a guess in his mind, it should be related to the ion engine at the beginning.

The fact is exactly that, in order to save all mankind, all the countries in the book formed a coalition government, and the scientists also formulated a plan that seemed far-fetched to old man Li.

It is to use the energy generated by the rocks on the ground to stop the rotation of the earth, and then drive the plasma engine at full power to accelerate the earth away from the range of the sun and fly out of the solar system
Until flying to 4.3 light-years away, next to a star called Proxima Centauri, the earth will resume its rotation and slow down, and finally make the earth a new satellite of Proxima Centauri, thereby achieving the goal of saving the earth
"Wandering Earth. That's what Wandering Earth means! Taking the entire planet to escape, wandering in the universe. Awesome! Admire! This is the brain hole of a genius!"

When all the mysteries were solved, old man Li was completely shocked by this majestic creativity.

When he learned that the sun was going to explode, he also thought about how to make a plan to escape, such as building a spaceship, or escaping to another planet.
But he never expected that the plan given by the author was to take the planet he lives on to escape for his life. This is too dare to think!
But really TM cow X.
