Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 838: Mad Men
In fact, it is too early for Jiangyang to hold the World Science Fiction Convention this year, because many local infrastructures for science fiction have not yet been completed.

For example, the "Huaxia Science Fiction City" mentioned by Zhang Zhong, this science fiction city is located five kilometers south of the Juwang Exhibition Hall. The plan was only launched in the first half of last year, and the plan was not finalized until the end of the year. Start building.

This sci-fi city embodies the ambition of the Jiangyang Municipal Government in terms of cultural construction. It covers a total area of ​​[-] mu, including a sci-fi creative education park, a sci-fi world park, a popular science and sci-fi media base, a cultural incubator, and a sci-fi film and television shooting and R&D base. , Huaxia Science Fiction Museum...

Science Fiction City also has complete supporting facilities, and the area occupied by these commercial configurations is not included in the two thousand acres.

And this is just a preliminary plan. If the development of this sci-fi city is good, it is possible to develop the second and third phases and become a real city within a city.

However, the plan for this sci-fi city will take at least three years to complete. That is to say, it will take about five years from start to completion. The Jiangyang government can't wait. They urgently need to establish Jiangyang's position in the Chinese sci-fi world.

Only when Jiangyang gains a certain "orthodox" status in the science fiction world, will the future science fiction city be smoother.

In other words, if Jiangyang had not won the right to host the World Science Fiction Convention last year, then the plan for the Huaxia Science Fiction City might have to be delayed, because the government would not be as confident as it is now.

After Zhang Zhong finished his speech, Li Yong, the president of the Nanhuai Science Fiction Association, and Wang Zhenguo, the mayor of Jiangyang, also went up to give brief speeches.

After their speeches were over, Hilde took the stage again, holding the microphone and announced loudly: "I announce that the 2023 Jiangyang World Science Fiction Convention will officially begin. I hope that everyone present can play in the next four days." Have fun."

The opening ceremony is over, but the first day of the conference is not over yet.

The Juwang Exhibition Hall does not close until 11:30 pm. During this time period, members can choose to continue activities in the venue.

However, the official website organizes fewer activities at night, so most members can only play their own.

The World Science Fiction Convention has a high degree of freedom. In addition to the activities organized by the conference, other organizations can also organize their own activities within a certain range.

The hardest ones are the Shenhuan teams in various cities in the next few years. As long as the exhibition halls are not closed, they will basically not leave. They will try their best to attract members and canvass votes.

Moreover, not all the writers who come to the conference are well-known writers. Many writers at the bottom of the pyramid will choose to hang out at night when there are relatively few people.

Because the great writers have left, they can come to attract the attention of readers at this time.

There is no need to wait until the exhibition hall closes at 11:30. From eight or nine o'clock, the restaurants, bars, and barbecue stalls near the Xunwang Exhibition Hall become extremely lively.

With the feast of tens of thousands of people, everyone's adrenal hormones soared at an extremely high speed. At the end of the day's activities, the heart has been filled with spiritual food, and it is time to add some material food to the stomach.

The excitement lasted until three or four o'clock in the morning before people gradually dispersed and returned to the hotel to rest, waiting for the next day's conference.

……

Zhang Zhong and his family went home immediately after the opening ceremony.

Pengpeng fell asleep halfway through the opening ceremony, and she didn't even see Zhang Zhong speak on stage later.

Today, Zhang Zhong is separated from his family most of the time, so he didn’t take Pengpeng to play around, but Pengpeng has been to the Xingwang Exhibition Hall many times, and he is already very familiar with it.

According to Xu Yuhan and the others, this girl played very crazy today, and her two calves almost never stopped.

Zhang Zhong was not surprised at all, because in today's scene, any child who came here would have a good time.

Although they haven't started reading science fiction yet, the sci-fi peripherals displayed in the exhibition and the cosplayers that can be seen everywhere are infinitely attractive to them.

However, according to Zhang Zhong's observation, not many children came to the conference today.

Especially for children under the age of ten like Pengpeng, it may take a while to see one.

More young people between the ages of 20 and 35.

In fact, this should not be, because this year's conference has made adjustments, allowing adults to bring a child under 130 centimeters to enter for free.

But this is also a start, allowing more children to solve the World Science Fiction Convention.

I believe it will get better and better in the future.

……

After returning home, Zhang Zhong didn't sleep. He had already started writing "Gibson".

He has been conceiving this episode for a while, and he has some preliminary ideas.

The reason why Zhang Zhong wanted to write about Gibson was actually because he felt that this guy was more like a big boss.

When he first read this book, Zhang Zhong thought that the regent Songde was the final boss, but he did not expect that he was just the fuse that triggered the war, a small victim.

The reason why Zhang Zhong thinks Gibson is the final boss is that at the end of the novel, Gibbs, the mad scientist, even said with a smile that as long as he wants to, it only takes a few generations of breeding to restore the Cheshire cat to the less successful one before. The version—that is, the version of nature.

This passage makes people think about it, and I always feel that Gibbs has the ability to subvert the world.

Gibson believes that the reason why human beings are anxious and fearful is that they are too attached to the past.

Humans want to protect the "old version of man" from rust, but in fact, it is easier to design a new version of the human body that is immune to rust than to protect the old version of man.

Although expressed in different ways, this issue has been discussed in many science fiction works.

In other words, if human souls (thoughts) are transplanted into robots, human beings can live forever, but many people are unwilling.

Humans have a natural sense of superiority over humans themselves.

Gibson was often able to say something philosophical and accessible, but he also said something that people couldn't understand.

"We've brought the devil into the world, and nature has become something we don't recognize. It has truly become nature shaped by us. And how poetic it would be if we were swallowed up by our own creation."

This kind of words that only a pervert can say also comes from the mouth of the scientist Gibson.

What has he experienced?
Let him be in this era, but have superhuman, incomprehensible thoughts?

What Zhang Zhong wants to do is to add a new POV perspective to "A Clockwork Girl".
