The Goddess Shines on America

Chapter 30: , The value of the work

   Early on Tuesday morning, Domingo came to the company on time.

   As the senior editor of Bantam Books, he has spent 30 years in the industry and he is not far from retirement. This morning, just as he was about to walk into his editor-in-chief's room, he was surprised to find that the public coffee machine at the door was almost drunk.

  He remembers it clearly, until he got off work last night, there was still one-third of the capacity in this machine!

Domingo thought of Brown for the first time. He knew that his beloved old colleague received another manuscript yesterday afternoon, and it seemed to be a very wonderful work, and he had not walked out the whole afternoon. office. So when Brown promoted working overtime tonight, Domingo was not surprised.

   But, what about drinking so many baristas?

   "Auror, you drank these coffees last night!?"

   When he walked into Brown's office, he found this old colleague sitting behind his desk with dark circles under his eyes, reading a manuscript with relish.

   "Auror? Auror!"

   After Domingo shouted three times, Brown suddenly came back to his senses.

   "Les? Oh my goodness, now... it's morning?"

Hearing Brown’s voice was weak, Domingo frowned and couldn’t help but reprimanded: “Auror, you’re not when you were young anymore. For people in their forties, the children are in the tenth grade. Please, for the sake of your own health, stop staying up all night, okay?"

   "Ah... OK, OK."

   Brown nodded stunnedly at first, but then, perhaps the excessive amount of coffee severely stimulated the nerves, and he suddenly stood up!

   "Les...oh!"

   "Hey, Auror, be careful! Oh, damn, I said you are not in good shape anymore. Drinking coffee with such a big cup, you haven't stood up this night!?"

   The dull collision made the picture frame on the table flip over, because he hadn't stood up all night, Brown, in his forties, refused to accept his old age, and had a close contact with his beloved desk.

   However, he did not pay attention to his pain at all, holding on to the shoulders of the editor-in-chief who was trying to support him, shouted: "Less, a classic work is born!"

   said, he squeezed the manuscript of "Jurassic Park" to Domingo: "You quickly read this novel, I promise you will never regret it!"

   can make an old editor with 15 years of experience so excited, it will never be an ordinary work, Domingo instantly chooses to trust his old colleague.

  Walking toward the editor's room, he asked, "What kind of book is this? Who is the author? Which old guy who has worked with for many years? When did it arrive?"

"Last night, it was last night, no, it was delivered yesterday afternoon, but I didn’t finish reading it until last night, and then I’ve been reading it again and again, and I haven’t had time to contact the other party. But, do you know, Les, the author is a Chinese women!"

Although he walked into the editor's room, Domingo hadn't had time to sit in his chair and put a thick stack of manuscripts on his desk. He smiled and patted Brown and said, "What are you so excited for? I said. John, you have been an old colleague for more than ten years. Although Chinese female writers are not common, it shouldn't surprise you so much? Could it be that your menopause is here?"

   "Your menopause has just arrived!"

Brown stared at Domingo fiercely: "Science fiction! This book is science fiction, and it happened in the contemporary era. No, it's science fiction that happened five years later, and it's written with great depth! A female writer of Chinese descent suddenly created this kind of work, how can I not...Anyway, you will know when you read it!"

   Domingo was somewhat surprised to hear that this manuscript turned out to be a science fiction novel. After all, generally speaking, books written by female writers are mostly on the social level. Or they are aimed at children’s literature. They tend to focus on literary and artistic directions. As for the field of science fiction, it is really a world of almost all men. Writers and readers are all in this way.

   If it is said that a Chinese-American female writer wrote a science fiction novel, it is really rare.

   "But... can you see it?"

   But even so, Domingo still reported this with habitual suspicion, and opened the first page of the manuscript.

   "Jurassic Park?"

  Domingo didn't think much about the name, after all, there are too many titles of all kinds. Similarly, never make a statement before you have experienced it in detail. This is also the quality that experienced practitioners should have.

   After all, it is said in advance how bad a work is, but after practice it is found that it is actually extremely good, and there are too many things that make the evaluator's face lost.

   After all, no one is forced to make a statement in advance, so why can't you control your mouth?

   Then, without a doubt, Brown gloated to find that Domingo's eyes were staring as soon as he saw the first page of the text!

   He can fully understand why Domingo is so surprised. After all, a sub-volume title of "International Genetic Technology Company Incident" is indeed very attractive.

   "You go out first, John."

   Domingo stared straight at the page and waved to Brown, "Tell my colleagues not to disturb me today."

   Hearing the boss actually said that, Rao had already read the book through and knew its value. Brown couldn't help being surprised: "Okay, do you plan to spend the entire work time on this book?"

   "Yes, yes, go out, don’t disturb me reading!"

   Seeing that Domingo couldn't move his eyes as soon as he stared at the page, Brown had to smile wryly, and didn't forget to close the door with his hand before leaving.

   And even at that time, Domingo didn't mean to look up at all.

   Because in the first moment, he was attracted by this book!

As Brown has read, the entire "Foreword" is concise and concise, describing the advanced development of biotechnology in the "contemporary" period, and then leaving readers with suspense at the end, letting everyone guess the island in the territorial waters of Madagascar What happened on it.

   Then came the text fragment. With a wind and rain, the author first listed a series of accidents.

   From the worker on hand to the tragic death of the baby, the former gave Domingo a kind of sympathy, while the latter gave him heartfelt distress. And all of this was caused by a creature that was suspected of being a crown lizard, at least, biologists in San Jose almost thought so.

   "Idiot, it must be a small dinosaur, but also a lizard. I can really find a reason for myself!"

   When he saw this, the experienced Domingo suddenly cursed, after all, he knew this kind of bridge too well. When an accident occurs, the so-called expert professor will always find out a bunch of reasons, what is just a coincidence, it is just a matter of probability, it is simply not a pain to stand and talk!

   No, Domingo recalled the novel and movie in the horror style. It should be that in order to reduce their workload, those experts and professors can use their mouths to comfort them without taking actual actions, and can use simple investigations to solve problems without complicated measures. Often the protagonist finds that something is wrong early on, but it is the people who hold power who do not believe in evil, which leads to disastrous consequences.

  For example, Spielberg shot "Jaws" in 1975!

   It is clear that the protagonist has reminded so many times, except for the heroine, no one believes it!

   "Let's leave it alone with the little dinosaur, what if the Tyrannosaurus rushes into the city!?"

  Domingo certainly doesn't know what the subsequent plot will be, but if Alice hears his emotions now, she has to give it a thumbs up.

   deserves to be the editor-in-chief of a top publishing house in the United States, and a single sentence of emotion can reflect the focus of interest of the masses!

   Don’t worry, UU reading www.uukanshu.com will have it, and the second part will come!

   After experiencing the initial excitement, just like Brown watching for twelve hours at a stretch, Domingo quickly fell into the book.

   I thought it was a mere horror novel about monsters attacking humans, but Domingo soon discovered that this work first presented to readers with rounds of colorful biological knowledge.

From the biological analysis of the "crown lizard" to the collection and purchase of paleontology and ancient insect amber, as the plot progresses, when a character like "Hammond" first appeared on the scene, Domingo immediately asked The plot inside stared eyes.

   As the owner of a top genetic technology company, he demonstrated a product at a party.

   A well-developed, well-proportioned, healthy body and mind in a bird cage...

  ... Elephant.

   Yes, Domingo blinked his glasses vigorously before realizing what kind of plot he was reading.

   This old man named Hammond carries a birdcage in his hand. Inside it is a one-foot-high one made of biotechnology. Everything is normal except for the size... elephant!

  So, after finally reading this short description, Domingo, like Brown, quickly looked to the calendar aside.

   1984...

  The era in the book is only 1989.

  No, the specific date when Hammond showed the baby elephant at the fundraiser together is...

   "Damn, in 1985, this author was really capable of writing!"
