Defend Namsan Park

Shang Lu subconsciously wanted to agree.

Shen Jiang is not always so sassy and generous, but facing this man who is a few years younger than herself, she occasionally has a whim in her heart: Why does this kid seem familiar?Where have you seen it?She obviously couldn't recognize other people's faces, even if she saw them, she wouldn't remember them, but this inexplicable and inexplicable familiarity came out of the darkness in the dead of night like a thin red thread, circling around in her heart .

This made Shen Jiang quite distressed, just like accidentally recalling the animation clips he watched when he was a child, or the lyrics of the songs he heard. However, it made people scratch their heads. Shen Jiang turned off the light and lay on the bed thinking over and over again.

So Shen Jiang invites Shanglu to eat every day, and secretly observes while eating.

Shanglu: Leader, why are you staring at me?

Shen Jiang: Supervisor, do you think we have met before?

Shanglu bowed his head and grilled the rice: I have seen it.

Shen Jiang was surprised: When did you meet?
Shanglu: Yesterday.

Shen Jiang's face collapsed: I mean a long time ago.

Shanglu: Yesterday was also a long, long time ago. I haven't seen you for a day, like three autumns. Speaking of which, I haven't seen you for three years, and I miss you very much.

"Yes." Shen Jiang took it, unscrewed the lid and took a sip, then stretched out his hand holding the soda, "Come on, cheers."

"When we were in Science City, we often made a fire to roast sweet potatoes by ourselves." Phytolaemia stared at the crackling bonfire, with the warm light shaking on his face, "It was always three o'clock in the morning when we got off work, and everyone was asleep. , worked all day and were hungry, so we went to the kitchen and asked for a big bag of sweet potatoes, and we baked them downstairs in the dead of night.”

(Important gossip from the author:
First of all, I would like to wish everyone a happy Chinese New Year, and wish the students a new year.

"Burn what you have." Shanglu said, "Waste materials, logs, dismantled wooden tables and chairs, as long as they can be burned."

Secondly, let’s talk about this year’s World Science Fiction Convention and the Hugo Awards.

Shen Jiang has nothing to do with Shanglu's nonsense.

"When all human beings are extinct and I am the only one left in the world, I will drive Red Lotus to the Antarctic alone." Shen Jiang said, "Then stand on the South Pole, facing the boundless white ice field, and go all the way into the distance. Look, just look at it like this."

Although the "Best Series Novel" project does not require the completion of the work, it does have word count requirements. Chinese works must reach 45 words before the nomination deadline—that is, before the end of April. In the next two months, at least [-] words will be updated every day.

"Does Science City care?"

Bright flames sprang up, and Shen Jiang added firewood to the fire in surprise. It was a new thing for her to light a fire outside, and if it wasn't for Shanglu's whim, she would not have thought of this.Phytophthora coughed to avoid the thick smoke, swept the floor with hay, used his backpack to pad his buttocks, and found a place to sit down.

Shen Jiang straightened her legs, leaned against the pillar, put her hands on her head, and sighed: "This world is so small."

So which awards did "Deep Sea Embers" and other works participate in?All unfinished works are not entitled to participate in the selection of the best novel, so online articles cannot compete for the best novel (many people scolded this without knowing it), and the competition is for the relatively unpopular "best series of novels". It is the only project that does not require completion.

"There is no food, but there is something to drink." Shang Lu took out two cans of soda from his backpack, "Do you want the leftover from dinner tonight?"

"and then?"

The identity of Shang Lu as a resident support engineer is really abominable. He still belongs to Science City in terms of personnel relations, and he is under the dual leadership of Cheng Zi and the chief engineer of the base in business. There are a lot of people who can give orders to Shang Lu, but they do not include Shen Jiang, the latter has a full-time job as a giant machine driver, but in fact he can't even command a dog.

"The Sichuan Basin has an area of ​​25 square kilometers."

"I am weak and sickly, not good at running, and I will definitely not be able to run against the pickets. The result of trying to escape is that the whole base will report criticism tomorrow morning and be punished." Shang Lu shook his head, "Unless you can stay and make a fire with me, are you Leader, the pickets dare not do anything to you."

Finally, let me talk about the situation of this book. Whether "Defending Nanshan Park" should participate in the selection of Hugo Awards, you have the final say.

"Look at what?" Shanglu asked.

It may be that the horoscope is not compatible with each other, the two people will inevitably quarrel when they get together, how old is Shen Jiang than Shang Lu, but the advantage in age has not been shown at all, she sometimes wants to put on the attitude of the eldest sister and the leader Overwhelm the opponent, but within three sentences, you will be defeated.

"No, pretend to be Tang Di." Shen Jiang said, "Supervisor, if you are fast enough, when the pickets want to arrest you, you can run away while turning around and shouting that you are 110, the director of the accounting office of the 1047 workshop. Get rid of them after shouting, anyway, the terrain in the base is complicated, and the pickets often fail to catch people."

Shang Lu glanced at Shen Jiang across the fire, nodded, and said, "Yes."

Although the Hugo Award has been questioned and controversial due to many reasons such as excessive adherence to political correctness in recent years, it is still a very heavyweight science fiction/fantasy award and has a pivotal position in this field. It is very important for Chinese works to directly participate in the evaluation. Good opportunity, Reading also hopes that the works on this site can stand out in the Hugo Awards.

——It's normal to have this kind of thinking. After all, the Hugo Award is a foreign daughter-in-law, and the starting point of the web article is a vulgar hat. The situation of the web article has been at the bottom of the chain of contempt for a long time, so that the public subconsciously thinks that it cannot be put on the stage, let alone win the award. .

Shen Jiang took the white hard hat from his hand and put it on Shang Lu's head, "You can try to get away with it."

He just said it casually, but Shen Jiang thought about it with his hands behind his back, and turned his face to the side and said, "Okay."

The old machinery and materials institute is a small white building with mottled and peeling exterior walls. It has only three floors. The person's waist was so high, and the two passed by on the road, looking in through a row of glass windows, it was pitch black.

"Pretending to be a picket?"

The price is not cheap. If you only want to buy nomination and voting rights, you need to spend 320 RMB. If you want to buy nomination, voting, and offline participation in science fiction conferences, you need to spend 640 RMB. Members who register and pay before February 2 (that is, after five days) have the right to nominate. Members who register and pay after February 1 have only voting rights but no nomination rights.

"Then you have to reincarnate three times to repay me." Shen Jiang beamed brightly, as if she had finally gained the upper hand, "In the next life, the next life, and the next life."

Secondly, the Hugo Awards have multiple awards, including Best Novel, Best Novella, Best Short, etc. These projects have quite strict requirements—for example, it must be the first published work in 2022 , For example, it must be a finished work. I saw someone asking why "Abnormal Creatures" was not included in the evaluation, or why "We Live in Nanjing" was not included in the evaluation-the answer is simple, their publication time did not meet the requirements.

"Will the pickets arrest me?" Shang Lu asked.

"I wish mankind an early extinction." Shen Jiang smiled.

We have been reported and criticized several times." Shang Lu said, "The director told us in great pain that you are the reincarnation of starving ghosts? Are you short of a stutter? You have eaten all the sweet potatoes. What do pigs eat? We were named and criticized at the Safety Production Conference in Science City, saying that our RCBI team secretly roasted sweet potatoes in violation of fire safety regulations in the park.”

Shang Lu was stunned for a moment.

Shen Jiang burst out laughing.

Shang Lu took a sip of soda, nodded, and then raised the can in his hand: "Okay, I wish the human race to perish as soon as possible."

"Can I sleep there at night?" Shang Lu asked.

As we all know, this year's World Science Fiction Convention will be held in Chengdu in October, and this year's Hugo Awards will also be awarded at the conference. Since the conference is held in China, Chinese works can directly participate in the competition without translation.

"cheers!"

The fire was burning hotter and hotter, and the dry grass and bushes were burning fast. Phytophthora had to pull dry firewood every few minutes, and soon all the burnable things around the porch were bald. Shen Jiang crossed his knees to support With his head down, the old god was watching him add firewood.

Shen Jiang turned to look at him, "Yes, yes, but the temperature is low at night, so you have to build a fire."

First of all, the rules of the Hugo Awards are different from other sci-fi awards such as the Nebula Award and the Locus Award. It is not an award selected by an expert committee, but a reader's choice award. Readers vote from the nomination to the final selection.

"The starting point must be to swipe the ticket, and use money to win a Hugo Award."

As an author of web articles, I can only express helplessness in the face of this situation. After all, the public’s inherent impression is not formed in a day or two, and it is impossible to change it in a day or two. "This matter, I can chat with you and talk about how it happened.

But note that not everyone is eligible to nominate and vote. If you want to nominate and vote in the Hugo Awards, you need to register on the official website of the World Science Fiction Convention and pay to become a member of the conference.

Shanglu clinked glasses with her.

"So the future of mankind is actually placed in the hands of a group of psychopaths." Shen Jiang said.

The weeds and shrubs in late autumn were all dry and haggard. Phytophthora scooped up a lot and piled them on the concrete floor of the porch of the small building. Shen Jiang took out a lighter and lit it—she didn’t smoke, so she carried it with her. With a lighter.

"But that's just a bathtub." Shen Jiang shook his head, "I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"

"The gold content of the Hugo Awards has been further reduced."

Some students may have heard about this, and readers with big eyes should have read the single chapter he posted recently, but most people may not have a clear and comprehensive understanding of this matter—after all, the works under China Literature After expressing their intention to participate in the Hugo Awards, many people on social media showed obvious dissatisfaction and pessimism—as a representative of evil capital, Starting Point will bring its inferior commercial garbage to tarnish and destroy the Science Fiction Awards.

"Look into the distance." Shen Jiang said.

"Great kindness and great virtue will be repaid in the next life." Shanglu said.

"Then other groups also learned to secretly roast sweet potatoes."

After dinner, the two walked back slowly.

"Forget it, I don't care about you, sister, I haven't seen any big scenes before?" Shen Jiang turned around and stretched out three fingers, shaking in front of Shanglu's eyes, "Even if it is an angel, I have killed three of them." , Ghost Gate Pass killed three in and three out, and Hades was ashamed when he saw me. Strictly speaking, everyone in the world owes me three lives, including you—”

"Life in the Science City is not as interesting as you might imagine." Shanglu said, "As I said, it is a place with a suicide rate of more than [-] out of [-]. For a long time, I heard people jumping off buildings and hanging themselves every day." News, if there is any place under the greatest pressure in today's human society, it must be the Science City. Many people have become psychologically distorted and nervous under the pressure... That is, the Science City does not study nuclear weapons, otherwise someone will definitely detonate it Get everyone to play together."

"What do you use to light the fire?" Shen Jiang asked.

From the end of January to the end of April is the nomination stage. In this stage, the works with the most nominations will be shortlisted. The shortlist will be announced at the end of May and voting will start until the final result will be announced in August.

"Walking along this road, the office building of the old mechanical materials institute is in front of it. It was moved last year and moved to the rear." Shen Jiang walked under the street lamp, pointing forward with his chin, "Now the building is Empty, almost abandoned, used only as a warehouse."

This is the flow.

(Forget it or not to participate)

The above is all the information I have learned so far, and it should be accurate. Of course, it does not rule out that there may be changes in the future.

If everyone is willing to nominate (again, nominations cost money! At least 320 yuan!), I will try my best to update and try to write 45 words before the deadline-if everyone is not willing, then I will follow the normal You can rest assured that the book will end normally no matter what.

So I do a little research here:
If you are willing to nominate, please deduct 1 here. (You need to pay to register as a member on the official website before February 2, at least 1 yuan)

If you are unwilling to nominate, deduct 1 here. (I will still finish the story at a normal pace)
I adjust the next codeword speed according to everyone's choice.
