Chapter 380: Win The Hugo Award
On the other side, the home of Wang Jinkang, the great god of science fiction in Daxia.
"Hey, Old Wang, you're not being kind. You wrote such an awesome novel, and you didn't even tell anyone!"
The voice from the phone made Wang Jinkang a little confused. What's going on? Don't everyone know about the novels he wrote, and there is nothing to hide.
He asked suspiciously: "What are you talking about, Lao Mo, you have read all those books, when did you hide it from you?"
"You're still hiding it from me at this time." Mo Yu smiled and said, "I know there are regulations for the Hugo Award, but you and your brothers don't have to be so outspoken."
"Hugo Award, are you talking about "The Three-Body Problem"?" Wang Jinkang instantly realized that he was talking about this book, and quickly denied: "I didn't write that book, how can I have that ability."
"Hey, stop pretending..."
"Dudu~dudu~"
At this time, another phone call came.
Wang Jinkang saw that the caller turned out to be Jia Ping, a well-known scholar in the literary world, and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, I have a phone number."
"Hey, Mr. Jia, I'm Jinkang!"
"Xiao Wang, I heard that you were shortlisted for the Hugo Award, congratulations. You are so good, this time, let the world take a look at how good our science fiction novels in Daxia are!"
The vicissitudes of the old man's voice was extremely excited, full of praise for Wang Jinkang.
However, Wang Jinkang, who was praised by everyone in the literary world, wanted to cry without tears, and his face was drenched in cold sweat.
"No, Mr. Jia, listen to me, "The Three-Body Problem" really wasn't written by me..."
"You still keep it a secret from my old man. I'm so old, and I won't report you."
"I know, but I really didn't write this book!" Wang Jinkang was so anxious that his head was so angry that he was telling the truth, so no one believed him.
As soon as I connected several calls, I congratulated myself for being nominated for the Hugo Award.
After Wang Jinkang explained it, he felt physically and mentally exhausted, collapsed on the stool, and his eyes were blank.
"Who the hell is going to say that "Three-Body Problem" was written by me, I'm going to chop him up!"
This kind of thing can be big or small. If you are not careful, it will become popular with other authors, falsely claiming works, and maybe even be violent by angry netizens.
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly trembled...
This has to be clarified, it must be clarified, otherwise my reputation will be ruined!
...
"click..."
"click..."
There are luxurious villas in the Tangchen Yipin villa area of the magic capital.
Inside the most luxurious mansion, strange noises could be heard from time to time from the slightly hidden door.
Of course, this kind of sound is much smaller than the sound of kicking and banging a while ago, at least it will not be regarded as a construction site.
"Today's data is much better than a few days ago, but there are still some problems. It may be because the materials are a bit low-level and cannot meet the requirements of the drawings."
Lu Ming came out of the studio talking to himself, and looked at the blueprint in his hand intently, his expression looked rather dazed.
The strange thing is that everyone else came out, and the strange noises in the studio still didn't stop. Coupled with his stunned expression, the atmosphere seemed a little scary.
The few true fans left in the live broadcast room suddenly trembled when they saw such a scene, and a few barrages finally appeared on the empty screen.
"Friends, I don't know how long I can hold on. It's weird even if I'm bored. What invention did Lu Shen make in the construction room?"
"Yeah, everyone else came out, and there was still a rattling sound in the construction room, which scared me so much that I almost quit the live broadcast room just now."
"So what kind of invention is Lushen going to make? There are ding ding bang all day long. I'm afraid he is not making steel in it..."
And Lu Ming, who was researched and invented, didn't even watch the live broadcast these days, so naturally he didn't know the audience's reaction.
After going to the water dispenser in the kitchen to pick up a glass of water, he just sat on the sofa and studied the drawings given by the system.
This is the first time that Lu Ming has taken the drawings out of the workshop, and it is also the first time that the drawings have appeared in the drone footage.
Various lines and data are intricately distributed on the drawings, making everyone dizzy.
"If titanium alloys don't work, what other materials exist that can meet the requirements."
Lu Ming brought the water glass to his mouth with one hand, his eyes still fixed on the blueprint in his hand, and he was immersed in the world of invention.
After hearing Lu Ming's self-talk, the audience knew that the car was made of titanium alloy, not some kind of stainless steel.
Before they could study Lu Ming's drawings on the screen, a bell rang suddenly on the sofa.
"At the critical moment, who called me at this time!"
The sudden bell interrupted Lu Ming's thoughts, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes were full of impatience.
His invention was reaching a critical moment. The breakthrough was in his head just now, but he was interrupted by the ringtone of his mobile phone. Naturally, he was very upset.
"Hey, I'm Lu Ming!"
Lu Ming held the fire and connected the phone, speaking in the same tone as a cannonball.
After staying at home for eight to ninety days, no one could bear it, and Lu Ming's mood had long ago had problems.
Although the audience is a little used to this, but seeing his ugly face, they are also a little hairy.
If things go on like this, will Lu Shen's spirit really not have problems?
The person on the other end of the phone was obviously taken aback by Lu Ming's tone, and there was no sound for a while.
There was no reply, and Lu Ming's brows became tighter and tighter. When he was about to speak again, a strange voice finally sounded in the receiver.
This person's accent is a bit similar to the accent of Ao Guanhai last time. Daxia is very fluent, but it is so awkward that it makes people uncomfortable to listen to.
"Hello Mr. Lu Ming, this is the Hugo Award Organizing Committee. I'm calling mainly to inform you that your novel "Three-Body Problem" won this year's Best Novel Award. You are specially invited to participate in the two The Awards Ceremony..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Ming didn't want to listen anymore, so he had to make a phone call to interrupt his thoughts when he was researching the most important thing.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "If you know me, you should know that I am participating in the Yunding Group's challenge, and I am sorry that I cannot participate in the award ceremony in two days."
As long as you win the award, why do you have to attend any awards ceremony? It's a waste of time.
Even if I have time, I will not go to participate, such as the last ironic Oscar ceremony.
However, the staff who called him obviously didn't know what Lu Ming was thinking, and after hearing the reason for his refusal, he was even a little complacent.
Just after hearing Lu Ming's voice, the staff immediately said: "It's okay, Mr. Lu Ming, the time of the award ceremony can be adjusted. Your challenge should end in a week, and you can also participate in the award ceremony at that time."
Lu Ming was immediately pissed off and said bluntly: "I'm sorry, I don't think this awards ceremony means anything to me, so I don't plan to attend it."
When the blond and blue-eyed brother on the other end of the phone heard Lu Ming's reply, he was stunned and looked at the phone in disbelief. Is this Da Xia winner such a dick?
This is the Hugo Award, the Nobel Prize for Literature in Science Fiction!
Many science fiction writers around the world are proud to be shortlisted for the Hugo Award, and winning the award is even more elusive.
After you won the Hugo Award for Best Novel, you didn't even want to go to the awards ceremony.
