**Request for recommendations and collections, the author thanks you.**

Surrounded by the reporters, Lin Han was directly enveloped after winning three significant awards. He had no time to think, and could only face the cameras with a stiff expression, the flash of the cameras almost blinding him.

He knew that "The Rural Teacher" was of very high quality; otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen it from the many short science fiction stories in his mind.

However, winning three major awards in one Galaxy Award was a grand occasion that even Liu Cixin, when he wrote "The Rural Teacher," did not experience. That year, Liu Cixin only won the Reader's Nomination Award based on popularity.

It could be said that Lin Han's three awards were the result of perfect timing, favorable conditions, and the support of the people. Even the judges did not expect this outcome. Since the final selection was done by anonymous voting by several judges, only the notary office knew the final result.

So, it wasn't until the awards were presented on stage that the judges smiled at each other. They had almost all chosen "The Rural Teacher," ensuring that this excellent work did not go unnoticed.

Previously, there were often various public relations activities. A highly praised novel, "The Spaceship in the Abyss," once became a missed opportunity for the Galaxy Award due to the public relations efforts of another novel, "The Time Traveler's Diary." That year was also called the shame of the Galaxy Award.

Each judge was lobbied to choose "The Time Traveler's Diary," and each judge thought others would choose "The Spaceship in the Abyss." As a result, a novel of questionable quality was pushed to the highest position of the Galaxy Award.

This time, they did not make the same mistake!

The continuous congratulations made Lin Han's ears slightly numb. He didn't even have a free hand to rub his ears and could only repeatedly say thank you.

Fortunately, it was already lunchtime, and after a brief pursuit by the reporters, they had to give up. However, they still managed to get a lot of valuable information from him.

Returning to the hotel first, Lin Han stared blankly at the three neatly arranged trophies on the bed. Everything seemed like a dream. He had come to this world, and his first novel had received such praise.

He was afraid that this dream would suddenly end. If he woke up and found himself back on Earth, Lin Han felt he couldn't bear the reality. If not for the realism of everything around him, he would have thought he was in the world of Inception.

If he had a top at hand, Lin Han would have hesitated about whether to spin it, not wanting to leave this dream.

Shaking his head, he threw away all the negative emotions. No matter what happened in the future, he just needed to focus on the present.

So he took a photo and posted on Weibo: "Thank you, Galaxy Award, and thank all the readers. This is just the beginning, and there will be more exciting science fiction novels to come!"

Whether it was the readers of "The Rural Teacher" or those who became fans because of "I, Robot," Lin Han's haters had gradually disappeared, and some had even turned into fans.

Usually, there were people cursing him, but now the comments were almost all congratulations and requests for more chapters. Lin Han had changed the netizens' perception of him through his efforts.

A director who can't write science fiction is not a good screenwriter. These two books fully demonstrated Lin Han's talent in science fiction, making many science fiction fans start to look forward to his work.

"Congratulations, congratulations, this is the Galaxy Award!"

"The Best Newcomer is well-deserved. Write more and better novels quickly."

"Can't 'I, Robot' be updated faster? Only one chapter a month? How can you go and accept an award? Go write!"

"Please go to Douban Reading and buy the complete book. I've already finished reading 'I, Robot.' It's already out in print, don't wait for Science Fiction World to drag its feet."

"I'm out of books to read. Lin Han, when are you going to release a new book? After reading your novels, other science fiction novels just don't do it for me."

"I'm also out of books to read. Whip Lin Han, go write! How can you earn money to marry a rich and beautiful woman and reach the peak of life if you don't write?"

"Winning the Galaxy Award, are you going to write faster? Do you deserve the votes we cast for you?"

"I've already read 'I, Robot' twice. When are you going to release something new?"

"Without your new book, how can I sleep? Let's all sing together."

The number of people urging for more chapters increased. Originally, many people were just browsing and didn't plan to reply to this Weibo post, but they were attracted by the comments urging for more chapters and started to join in.

When other authors say they are writing, readers are very concerned. Some say, "Great job, we feel for you. Take care of your health, don't write too much, go out and take a walk."

But with Lin Han, it turned into "If you don't release a new book, I'll kill you," "Lin Han, don't cry, stand up and write. If you don't release a new book, you're a pig," "Only a simple and unadorned thing like a knife can express our deep love for you."

A battle of creative urging against stubborn delays!

Behind every author is a group of little angels constantly urging for more chapters.

Lin Han looked at these comments with a helpless expression. Shouldn't he already be considered a high-output author?

Since he came to this world, only two months had passed, but he had already written a short story and a long novel, and another long novel was in active preparation.

Urging for more chapters has always been a problem that readers, authors, and editors cannot ignore. Lin Han didn't have a dedicated editor to urge him, so the readers took on this role.

Only readers who truly love the novels will tirelessly urge for more chapters, and everyone understands this.

After some thought, Lin Han hesitated about whether to reveal some information about the new book. This would make the readers a bit quieter, and he could release the book when he was fully prepared.

After all, this time, "The Martian" would not be a direct copy. The entire background needed to be changed, and some details needed to be adjusted. The original version could only serve as a reference.

Chinese scientists landing on Mars, and finally, the cooperation between China and the United States to rescue the only colonist on Mars. This is the summary of the entire novel.

On the surface, it doesn't seem very attractive, but during the hundreds of days the protagonist lives on Mars, various problems arise, and the suspense and excitement come from discovering and solving these problems.

At this moment, the official Weibo account of the China National Space Administration had posted a Mars-related content a few hours ago. He scrolled up, "The China National Space Administration announced the soil analysis results collected by the Great Wall Mars Probe, which showed no decisive chemical substances that form life. The chief data analyst of the Mars project, Ma Jiayan, stated that more soil samples would be collected for analysis to confirm the results."

Due to the change in the era's background, the national strength of China and the United States was comparable, so their relationship of mutual enmity and cooperation continued. Both organizations had accounts on their respective social media platforms. Foreigners preferred Twitter, while Chinese people used Weibo.

Both China and the United States had launched Mars exploration plans, and their progress was similar.

This result was not unexpected by Lin Han, as one of the classic scenes in the novel and movie "The Martian" was the protagonist solving the problem of growing plants in Martian soil using his own feces.

Lin Han forwarded this Weibo post and commented, "Surviving a dust storm, Li Yunfan becomes the only human on Mars. The food he has left is enough for only 31 days, but the rescue team will take 4 years to reach Mars. How will he survive?"
