Science fiction literature needs to think about how humans face the world. "Recently, Vice Chairman of the Chinese Writers Association, Alai, stated at the opening ceremony of the" Tianwen "science fiction writer creation camp that science fiction literature has a huge market space. In today's rapidly developing technology, science fiction writers cannot be addicted to technological wonders, but must question the human nature proposition behind technology. The "2025 China Science Fiction Industry Report" shows that the total revenue of China's science fiction reading industry will be 3.51 billion yuan in 2024, a year-on-year increase of 10.7%, and will maintain a continuous growth trend from 2017 to 2024. The contribution rate of new sci-fi books has significantly increased, and digital and audio reading of sci-fi has entered the fast lane of development. Chinese science fiction has achieved a breakthrough in the entire industry chain from literature, film and television to interactive entertainment, entering a critical stage of business integration and innovation driven development. As a fundamental industry upstream of the science fiction industry chain, science fiction reading needs to take the lead in exploring high-quality development paths. Excellent science fiction works should reflect reality. Alai served as the editor in chief of Science Fiction World magazine for many years. Liu Cixin's novel 'The Wandering Earth' was published during his tenure at 'Science Fiction World'. Around 1997, Chinese science fiction literature began to develop rapidly, and authors such as Liu Cixin and Chen Qifan entered the field of science fiction during that period. At that time, people saw many possibilities in the present and had hope and confidence in the future, so Chinese science fiction broke out from then on, as if it had found a breakthrough point with the entire country. We all believe that science not only determines our current lives, but also determines the future of all of us. ”Ah Lai recalled. Over 20 years have passed, and many technologies that were once "science fiction" have become a reality. Science fiction is more about asking questions rather than seeking answers. ”Liu Cixin believes that science fiction is actually a thought experiment that places real people in non real environments. We discover the laws of the universe from reality, so as long as the imagination in science fiction is based on nature rather than the supernatural, no matter how crazy or ethereal the imagination is, it will definitely have intricate connections with reality, "he said. Chen Qianfan believes that "science fiction authors always want to predict something, but in fact, we will find that it is often impossible to make particularly accurate predictions about technology, but judgments about people, human nature, and society can withstand the test of time." "The reason why excellent science fiction literature is excellent is because it has a strong sense of reality. ”Alai believes that excellent science fiction literature should not be casually transported or fictional. The fundamental mission of literature is to break down barriers and seek the commonality of human spirit, and science fiction literature is particularly so. The shock brought by the words of top science fiction authors, who have become the main force of creation, cannot be replaced by any other means of expression. Science fiction author Wang Zili believes that the large amount of blank space in those texts belongs to the reader's own imagination space, which cannot be brought to people by other means of expression. With the popularization of science fiction digital reading, science fiction novels are gradually being accepted by a wider audience. The emergence of live streaming has brought science fiction writers face-to-face with millions of readers, allowing them to chat about their creative experiences and post reading reflections, greatly enriching the reading experience. Liu Cixin's novel "The Three Body Problem" has long been ranked first on the electronic publication reading list of tomato novels on the online reading app, with nearly 11 million people reading it. A reader wrote in a book review, "Although science fiction has always been our imagination, in the past decade we have gradually turned the content of science fiction into reality, which demonstrates human wisdom. Our ideas may come from an unrealistic fantasy, and then someone will take action for it." Liu Cixin also responded to this reader in the live broadcast: "Actually, according to the habits of science fiction writers, we tend to write ideas that are difficult to implement, because everyone thinks that possible ideas are not so impactful in readability. But often it is these ideas that authors find difficult to implement that may eventually become reality With the coordinated development of various links in the science fiction industry chain, "online generation" readers have become the main force of culture, and China's science fiction reading industry has entered a "flood period" where technological predictions and humanistic speculation intersect. I have witnessed firsthand the golden age of China's science fiction industry as AI technology changes the way we create. ”In Chen Qianfan's view, AI technology is quietly injecting new momentum into science fiction creation. As early as 2017, Chen Qianfan began experimenting with collaborating with AI to create, using AI models to inspire inspiration, diverge plot, and even simulate character dialogues. This "human-machine collaboration" approach allowed him to see new possibilities in science fiction creation. I have been thinking about how to promote the construction of science fiction creation system in the AI era. In cooperation with universities and technology companies, we are attempting to establish an interdisciplinary research platform of 'science fiction+AI', allowing science fiction writers, scholars, and AI technicians to explore together. At the same time, we also encourage everyone to step into the AI community, use AI tools to create, and jointly build a diverse and open creative ecosystem. ”Chen Qifan said. AI technology changes the way of creation and drives the transformation of the entire science fiction industry. Chen Qianfan believes that AI assisted creation not only lowers the threshold for science fiction creation in content production, allowing more creators to participate in this field, but also enables authors to focus on depth of thought and humanistic care in their creations. At the same time, online reading platforms are actively nurturing the flourishing of science fiction literature. Xie Sipeng, the chief editor of Tomato Novel, introduced that while enriching the content ecosystem, they have always been committed to discovering and cultivating excellent original writers and encouraging the creation of high-quality content. For example, they have currently held three writer training classes and launched a series of work support programs. Recently, Tomato Novel has also jointly launched the "Qingzhou Plan" with the magazine "Youth Literature", investing 100 million yuan in the next three years to increase the remuneration of high-quality authors, support high-quality content, and prioritize recommending film and television adaptations and publications. We have been running various activities, inviting traditional writers, industry experts, and tomato authors to conduct live conversations and discussions, hoping to provide a platform for online literature authors to communicate with top domestic writers and promote the high-quality development of original content in online literature. ”Xie Sipeng said.
