The Goddess Shines on America

In the early morning of Tuesday, Domingo came to the company on time in the morning.

As the senior editor-in-chief 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's room, he was shocked to find that the public coffee machine at the door was almost sold out.

He remembered it clearly, until he got off work last night, there was still a third of the machine's capacity left!

Domingo immediately thought of Brown. He knew that his beloved old colleague received another manuscript yesterday afternoon, and it seemed to be a very wonderful work, which kept him from going out all afternoon. office. So it didn't surprise Domingo when Brown announced that he would be working overtime tonight.

But what about drinking so many baristas?

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

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

"Auror? Auror!"

When Domingo yelled three times, Brown suddenly came back to his senses.

"Less? Oh my god, it's...morning now?"

Hearing Brown's weak voice, Domingo immediately frowned, and couldn't help reprimanding: "Auror, you are no longer young, you are in your forties, and your children are in the tenth grade. For the sake of your own health, please stop staying up late, okay?"

"Ah... yes, yes."

Brown nodded stunned at first, but then, perhaps the excessive coffee stimulated his nerves severely, and he stood up abruptly!

"Less... oh!"

"Hey, Auror, be careful! Oh shit, I said you're not feeling well, drinking coffee with such a big water cup, you haven't stood up all night, have you!?"

The dull collision knocked over the photo frame on the table. Because he hadn't stood up all night, Brown, who was in his forties, refused to accept his old age, and had a close contact with his beloved desk.

However, he ignored his pain at all, pressed the shoulder of the editor-in-chief who was about to support him, and shouted loudly: "Rice, a classic work is born!"

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

It is definitely not an ordinary work that can make an old editor with fifteen years of experience so excited. Domingo immediately chose to trust his old colleague.

While walking towards the editor's room, he asked, "What type of book is this? Who is the author? Who is the old man who has worked with you for many years? When did it arrive?"

"Last night, last night, no, it was delivered yesterday afternoon, but I didn't finish it until last night, and then I kept watching it repeatedly, and I haven't had time to contact the other party. But Les, you know, the author is a Chinese women!"

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

"Your menopause has just arrived!"

Brown glared at Domingo viciously: "Science fiction! This book is a science fiction novel, and it takes place in contemporary times, no, it's a science fiction novel that takes place five years later, and it's written with special depth! A female writer of Chinese descent suddenly creates this kind of work, can I... In short, you will know it after reading it!"

Domingo was somewhat surprised to hear that the manuscript turned out to be a science fiction novel. After all, generally speaking, the books written by female writers are mostly on the social level, or they are aimed at the field of children's literature, which seems to focus on literature and art. As for the field of science fiction, it is really almost an all-male world. in this way.

It is really rare for a female writer of Chinese descent to write a science fiction novel.

"But... can I watch it?"

But even so, Domingo still responded with habitual skepticism, and turned to the first page of the manuscript.

"Jurassic Park?"

Domingo didn't have much thought about the name, after all, there are too many titles of various books. Similarly, never express your opinion until you have experienced it in detail. This is also the quality that experienced practitioners should have.

After all, it is too common to say in advance how bad a work is, but after practice it is found to be extremely good, which makes the evaluator lose face.

After all, no one forced a person to express his opinion in advance, so why can't he control his mouth?

And then, no doubt, Brown gloated over Domingo's eyeballs as soon as he saw the first page of the text!

He could fully understand why Domingo was so surprised. After all, the title of the sub-volume "International Genetic Technology Corporation Incident" is indeed very attractive.

"You go out first, John."

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

Hearing what his boss said, even though he had already read the book and knew its value, Brown couldn't help being surprised: "Okay, you plan to spend the entire working time on this book?"

"Yes, yes, go out quickly, don't disturb my reading!"

Seeing that Domingo couldn't take his eyes off the page as soon as he stared at it, Brown had to smile wryly, and he didn't forget to close the door lightly before going out.

And even at that time, Domingo had no intention of raising his head at all.

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

As Brown has read, the entire "Preface" describes the high development of biotechnology in the "contemporary" in a concise and concise manner, and then leaves readers with suspense at the end, making everyone guess that the small island in the territorial waters of Madagascar what happened on

Then came the text fragment, with a stormy momentum, the author first listed a series of accidents.

From the workers in his hands to the baby who died tragically, the former gave Domingo a kind of sympathy, and the latter made him even more distressed from the bottom of his heart. And all of this was caused by a creature that looks like a crown lizard, or at least that's pretty much what San Jose biologists think.

"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 immediately started cursing, after all, he knew this kind of plot too well. When an accident happens, the so-called experts and professors will always come up with a bunch of reasons. What is just a coincidence? It’s just a matter of probability.

No, Domingo recalled the thriller novels and movies. It should be that, in order to reduce their workload, those experts and professors will not take actual actions if they can use words to comfort them, and they will not need complicated measures if they can solve problems with simple investigations. Often the protagonist discovers that something is wrong very early on, but it is the unbelief of some people in power that leads to disastrous consequences.

For example, Spielberg filmed "Jaws" in 1975!

Obviously the protagonist has reminded her so many times, but no one believes it except the heroine!

"Don't worry about the little dinosaurs attacking, what if the Tyrannosaurus rex rushes into the city!?"

Domingo certainly doesn't know what the follow-up plot will be, but if Alice hears his emotion at this moment, she must give her a thumbs up.

It is worthy of being the editor-in-chief of the top publishing house in the United States. Just a sentence of emotion can reflect the focus of interest of the general public!

Don't worry, there will be, the second part is coming!

After the initial excitement, like watching Brown for twelve hours, Domingo quickly fell into the book.

I thought it was a simple horror novel about monsters attacking human beings, but Domingo soon discovered that the first thing this work presents to readers is round after round 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 continued to progress, when a character like "Hammond" first appeared on the scene, Domingo immediately asked questions. In a scene, his eyes widened.

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

A caged, well-developed, well-proportioned, healthy...

……elephant.

Yes, after Domingo blinked his glasses vigorously, he realized in a trance what kind of plot he was reading.

This old man named Hammond was holding a birdcage in his hand, which contained a one-foot-tall, normal... elephant made with biotechnology!

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

In 1984...

The era in the book is only 1989.

No, the date that Hammond showed the baby elephant at the fundraiser together was...

"Damn, in 1985, this author can really write!"

There is another one tonight
