Liu Changmin seemed to have come back to get something, and was about to leave after taking the things.
When he passed by Yu Dong's desk, he glanced at the newspaper on Yu Dong's table and asked curiously: "You seem to be paying close attention to the news about genetic modification recently. Is there any new science fiction novel coming out?"
"I have some ideas, but they are not mature yet."
Liu Changmin smiled and said, "I won't ask you anymore. I'll know when your novel comes out."
After Liu Changmin left, Yu Dong found several newspapers that he had been paying attention to recently, and all of them reported news related to genetic modification without exception.
The reason why I pay attention to genetic modification is that a science fiction novel recently conceived by Yu Dong is related to it.
In other words, it was precisely because he accidentally saw previous reports on genetically modified plants that Yu Dong came up with this idea.
In the new novel Yu Dong initially conceived, the story begins with a war.
In the first half of the 22nd century, due to energy shortages and other complex reasons, a civil war broke out in the United States and affected many countries.
This melee lasted for three and a half years. The parties to the war decided to call a truce at a time when energy resources were shrinking, the climate was warming, and sea levels were rising.
Because if there is no truce, these problems will become more and more serious.
But at this time, the American regime had collapsed, and the entire country was controlled by a few oligarchic companies.
These oligarchic companies not only control the United States, but also carve up Europe, Southeast Asia and other countries.
In order to deal with energy problems, various companies have tried their best to research solutions.
The first to find a solution was a biological company. They used genetic technology to cultivate crops that are more suitable for the environment and invented a device for extracting bioenergy.
Because of the rise in sea levels, human living space is rapidly shrinking, fossil energy is scarce, and electricity is difficult to supply, so they can only rely on this device for extracting bioenergy.
However, the abuse of genetic technology has brought about a series of problems, such as the ravages of plant viruses, and biological companies have to continue to improve genetic technology to fight against virus invasion.
Because of the government's centralized control, the impact of the disaster has been minimized. Although there are no "high-quality" genetically modified crops, the people's lives are pretty good because of unified deployment and centralized control.
However, several multinational trading companies have begun to use various means in order to sell genetic food.
The above is the general background of Yu Dong's new book. As for the specific storyline, Yu Dong is still conceiving. No matter how large the background of the story is, it needs to be presented one by one, characters and plots.
The story will be divided into two parts. The background of the first part is the "farmland" controlled by multinational companies in Southeast Asia. In the post-era era of serious class differentiation, multinational companies have different ways of controlling "farmland".
The first part is actually a preparation for the siege of the city in the second part. After unfolding the entire world view, it begins to tell the undercurrent of the battle surrounding the siege.
To develop such a special world requires a lot of space to create, so Yu Dong has prepared a large number of characters and organizations for this novel, and will also develop the storyline based on these different characters and organizations.
At the same time, this novel will inevitably involve a lot of biotechnology content, so the style is somewhat like biopunk.
As for whether it is a dystopia, Yu Dong himself does not think so, because this novel will not criticize all real systems.
Yu Dong took out his notebook again.
This notebook was specially used by him to record his inspiration. A lot of things have been recorded in it, including some settings and general framework of the novel.
Now he has to integrate the settings and the frame, and then fill the frame with content.
Wait until the content is almost filled in, and then check whether all the plots can form a complete logical chain and wonderful story line.
Once confirmed, you can start writing.
When Yu Dong creates science fiction novels, it is completely different from creating pure literary works.
When creating purely literary works, Yu Dong relies entirely on his feelings to write where he is. Most of the time, his consciousness is in a state of suspension. In this state of suspension, words come out naturally.
.
But when writing science fiction novels, Yu Dong will consider every detail, including the performance of characters, the arrangement of logic, and the connection of plots, and try to make these things more perfect.
Maybe this is the same as Liu Heng's state when he was writing the script. Yu Dong was committed to building a complete picture one by one in order to better present it to readers.
Just when Yu Dong was immersed in sorting out the plot of the novel, he suddenly heard a "squeak, squeak" sound coming from above his head.
Immediately afterwards, a gust of wind blew from above.
This gust of wind jumped along Yu Dong's neck and into his clothes. Only then did Yu Dong realize that his back and clothes were stuck together with sweat. When the wind blew like this, it felt like someone had poured cold water on him.
.
"It's so hot today, you're not too hot even if you wear long sleeves?"
A familiar voice came, and Yu Dong turned his head to look in the direction of the door. He saw Shao Tianjun, deputy director of the reporter department of "Yangtze Evening News", standing at the door with a smile.
"Director Shao, why are you here?" Yu Dong stood up and greeted him.
Shao Tianjun chuckled and said, "You won't die of heat if I don't come. You can't do this to save money for the public."
Yu Dong tugged on his sweaty clothes, "I didn't expect the weather to change so quickly. It was cloudy before, but now the sun is so bright."
"The weather is like this in May and June." Shao Tianjun said and glanced towards Yu Dong's table, "What were you doing just now? You were so focused that you didn't even know you were sweating."
"Write something." Yu Dong smiled without elaborating, and ran to get a kettle to pour water for Shao Tianjun, "I'll make you a cup of tea."
Shao Tianjun grabbed him and said, "I drank tea in Principal Wu's office, so please stop working."
After hearing what he said, Yu Dong was no longer polite and asked him again: "You have something to do with Principal Wu this time?"
Chapter completed!
