Chapter 53 Technological Suspense Route
It turned out to be Peng Jinkang. Suddenly, Kaka understood what was going on. However, Peng Jinkang's big moves were still jaw-dropping.
In the past few months, Peng Jinkang has also followed them to read books and conduct training on character observations, biography and other things. As a result, this handsome guy, school grass, and famous figure who studies architecture... is now fascinated by writing.
Ka Ka himself is in dire straits and has no experience of arrogance, but Mo Ersheng, who is usually very energetic to supervise Peng Jinkang's reading and writing progress, always feels that he can't hold back and complain. Peng Jinkang is really a celebrity who can be quite good at everything he learns and does. The progress of learning writing is so fast that Mo Ersheng doubts life.
Peng Jinkang initially asked Yue Qingyan to recommend a book list, and then he started to chew on it himself. When Guan Xi went out to observe the crowd, he often followed him and wrote biography of the characters. At first, he thought that this was a tutoring. Observation and contemplation of others, as well as in-depth reading, were all necessary preparations for training speech. However, as he read it, he felt that reading was so fun and writing was fun. In addition to architecture courses, basketball, and various student activities in the school, he had no time to rest and relax, and almost all spent on reading and writing.
I have swept more than 100 books in half a year and read a lot in depth. Many of them are speed reading training according to Yue Qingyan's suggestion. Peng Jinkang's talent is really great, and the quality of speed reading is comparable to that of many people's average speed reading. Yue Qingyan also joked that this is because Peng Jinkang is also used to reading the opponent's formation and defense on the basketball court, and his dynamic vision and detailed capture ability are very good.
Probably, otherwise there will be no way to explain this problem. Otherwise, it will be raised to the issue of IQ and talent.
Moreover, Peng Jinkang's planning and execution ability in doing things was so powerful that everyone was shocked. He said that from what time to what time to read books and take notes, and in those hours he could not even touch his phone. At the beginning, he bought one book and read one book, but later he placed an order and slowly digested it. In half a year, he added two bookcases at home, and basically finished reading them.
He said about three months ago that he wanted to try writing a novel of suspense and reasoning. He finished the first draft in a month. He wrote the manuscript every day from 8:00 to 11:00 pm, and wrote the manuscript for 3 hours without any movement.
But after reading it, Yue Qingyan pointed out many omissions in the novel. For example, the character setting is relatively boring, the offense and defense are not equal in the puzzle design, and there are problems with the character activity route and the scope of knowledge on each plot node, which makes it awkward to read...
Peng Jinkang humbly accepted it after careful study, and then he began to make even more crazier preparations.
Peng Jinkang originally studied architecture and had innate advantages for the types of secret room reasoning limited to a certain range. In order to fully grasp the overall plot, he used sketchup to comprehensively model the scenes involved and made realistic renderings under various lighting conditions. Then he filled the characters' activities into the model according to the timeline and made dynamic renderings. In this way, he could follow any character to understand when, what time they saw or might know.
There are only a handful of people who can do this and do this in the entire Chinese writing circle.
But sketchup modeling is still a bit sloppy, mainly because it is impossible to understand the texture of the building itself and the psychological impact of the environmental scene on the character. So Peng Jinkang asked his father for funds, bought a three-dimensional printer at home, cut the modeling out one by one, and then painted it in detail, restoring the entire scene. The gardening part was carefully carved. The things he couldn't handle were specially invited to participate in the situational model.
Today, he moved the entire model to Yue Qingyan's studio, and then combined the clue analysis he wrote before, the timeline demonstration animation of the character activities, Yue Qingyan's explanation of the plot, and asked him to review his second draft.
Mooresheng is now completely out of temper with Peng Jinkang. In fact, if Peng Jinkang was like this at the beginning, he might have been moved to pursue her. But now, she only feels that this matter is full of absurdity.
However, what Peng Jinkang wrote is really a strict fit and it seems like a project. He is really worthy of being a talented student in the Department of Architecture. It would be a terrible thing to say that a talented student in the Department of Architecture graduated from a talented architect, but his basic skills are always solid. Judging from the whole set of deductions he made, he is really awesome.
In fact, the subject matter is still the same: the advanced derivative version of the secret room reasoning. Peng Jinkang designed a multinational company to hold an annual meeting and placed it in an island resort. There were several groups of unclean relationships in the company, and everyone thought that they could be arbitrary when they were on the island. Unexpectedly, they happened to encounter a cyclone on the sea that was generated on the island, and the island suddenly became isolated from the world. The fuel of the diesel generator set was limited and it still needed to calculate the use. There was no shortage of food and drinking water on the island, but some people were still sick, so that the island's antibiotics and other drugs must be used in simplicity.
In the resort, everyone divided into several groups according to their closeness and distance. At this moment, people were constantly killed...
In fact, the main line of this story can be divided into two branches. One is to collect resources and control distribution, and keep everyone on the island able to hold on for a long time. The other is to kill and detective. The people who go to the island include those who attend the annual meeting, performers, and service personnel on the island, with a total of nearly 40 characters. And the progress of the two lines is very interesting. Collecting resources also includes finding out information from the people who hide hidden resources, allocating reasonably, and allowing their team to obtain more resources. Killing and detective are divided into several lines, with a total of three murderers hiding people in the crowd, and they also use other people's murder to hide their motives and action routes.
These complex settings led to the first draft written by Peng Jinkang being more than 500,000 words. With some explanatory documents, notes, settings, etc., it is estimated that it will exceed 600,000 words.
Thanks to Yue Qingyan's photo-like memory now, he can only remember the whole book by reading it once, and then he will combine various reasoning details of the whole story with Peng Jinkang bit by bit. This is really a waste of time.
But Yue Qingyan really admired Peng Jinkang from the bottom of his heart. Because of this version, the entire logic line and event sequence have almost no conflicts. The offensive and defensive balance between the two lines and the spread of intelligence are well designed. Except for one thing: it is too tiring and complicated to read.
"How can you say this story... you have made it a brain game." Yue Qingyan could only complain.
"But, it's very interesting to design." Peng Jinkang said happily. Yue Qingyan affirmed his story design and did not find any problems. As for the writing of this story, he was already planning to make major changes. The mystery novel has more than 500,000 words, so I don't even think about publishing it. And the complexity is too high. After writing it, there is actually no need to be so detailed. Some characters know whether they are aware of it or not, and they can just use narrative language. There is no need to tell the process so carefully.
"It's really interesting," Yue Qingyan said with a wry smile: "Your method of writing things is really awesome. As long as you can involve the initial puzzles and pass your deduction, you can basically write them out. Although it's a bit troublesome, deducing the original reasoning in this way is also a way. But..."
"But what?" Peng Jinkang asked.
"In the domestic publishing market, there is not much room for natural reasoning, and it tends to be more socialist reasoning."
Mo Ersheng followed Yue Qingyan and Peng Jinkang to understand the story logic for a day, and was exhausted and said, "Also, the length of this book cannot be reduced to 300,000 words, right? I was so tired of reading. I dealt with so many clues at the same time, but not everyone has the same way of thinking as you."
Peng Jinkang nodded. He realized the problem when he wrote it himself. But he was a young man who was not short of money. He just wanted to complete the story and did not consider the market factors at all. Yue Qingyan said that he wrote it into a intelligence game, and he really felt this way.
Peng Jinkang said: "Then what do you think about changing this thing into a game?"
Yue Qingyan thought for a while and said, "I don't know much about this. I should be able to intuitively. But then, you have to change it again according to this framework."
"I wrote it. I thought I might not be able to reason about it before, and then I split many plot nodes out in two to three directions. Then I used software to arrange the calculations to appear in this result. Then I wrote it out accordingly." Peng Jinkang thought for a while and told his working method truthfully.
"In other words, you actually have a very complete topology diagram of all plot nodes, right?" Yue Qingyan's eyes lit up and he asked.
"Yes." Peng Jinkang felt a little embarrassed: "This is a wrong way, so I didn't have the nerve to say it at first."
Ka Ka's eyes were almost bulging out at this time. She believed that when Yue Qingyan asked the question just now, she had already thought of this question. Peng Jinkang actually did not write a novel, but could deduce many multi-structured texts with different endings as needed... Someone had considered this before, but this kind of thing was really not something that people who are engaged in liberal arts can play with.
"That means, you can write a paragraph of text for each plot node, and you can use it when deducing it here. Just connect these clips and it will be the entire plot?"
"Yes. Some routes can be reasoned, some routes cannot be reasoned, and some routes will be killed." Peng Jinkang said after thinking about it.
"Yes, you probably developed a game-novel hybrid that does not require a graphical interface." Yue Qingyan said astonished: "Although I think you probably did it unintentionally, this matter is a big deal."
Peng Jinkang was still confused. He always felt that all the work he had done was preparing a wonderful novel, and he was completely unaware of what the questions Yue Qingyan asked him pointed to.
"You can draw, program, find an interface designer... and send this thing online within a month." Yue Qingyan was surprised that Peng Jinkang had grown to this point. Of course, he had no consciousness at all. He just used a clumsy and skillful method to build an unbreakable logical chain and write a tight but not wonderful novel.
