Hello ladies and gentlemen! Initially, let me thank you all for your time. I would like to present to your attention my scientific work «The role of the official narrative style, as well as the characteristic parameters of determining the type of work, when creating literary works of the science fiction genre.» My work is based on the theory that the verbal relationship in the official style in the works increases the likelihood of their success among the public. The relevance of this work is visible on the face, and it is also worth saying that I managed to conduct several experiments on this topic, for which I bring special thanks to Mr. Vasily Nikolaevich Ulyanov and for scientific advice to Gavriil Artemovich Veniaminov. The subject of my scientific work is
The performance of the young man lasted about three hours. Vadim actively talked about new research, cited numerous facts, confirmed his scientific conclusions not only with sociological parameters, but, strange as it may sound, with medical data that he conducted to analyze the effect of the official narrative style on the human body and additionally cited a number of mathematical formulas by introducing the entire system into a full-fledged framework. So, based only on the style of the narrative, Vadim Alexandrovich managed to create a whole system of classification of works and their effects.
So, gentlemen, we can create the most necessary classification system, using which our authors can create the best works without any mistakes. It is worth saying that more experienced authors subconsciously know such a system, but for the younger generation, as well as for the experienced creators themselves, this systematics is necessary. It is by this method that it will be possible to develop the literary field of research and the creations of our vast Homeland. And in conclusion, I would like to say that my research is actively continuing and it is still necessary to go much deeper into this and other issues of literary criticism, and to learn the latest secrets. And I can say with great joy «To be a scientist is proud of the Lord!»
Thats how grandiosely I was able to finish my speech, which was very highly appreciated, even by Gavriil Artemovichs colleagues. So Vadim Alexandrovich finally received the well-deserved title of master. Now he worked at the university and taught philology. But Vadims words about new research were not long in coming. And two months later, he applied for a PhD thesis. How lucky Vadim Alexandrovich was, because during those two years in the magistracy he managed to prepare both a candidates dissertation for the scientific title of Doctor of Philosophy in philological sciences and a doctoral dissertation for the scientific title of Doctor of Philology.
Vadim Alexandrovich presented his PhD thesis two months later, with an appendix of about 30 scientific articles that he managed to publish in a variety of scientific journals. Vasily Nikolaevich actively helped in this, not only as a scientific supervisor, but also helped financially, even considering that Vadim Alexandrovich spent almost all of his salary for these months on publishing and preparing scientific papers. At the same time, he prepared one monograph and two textbooks. Vadim Alexandrovich was able to complete his first textbook after a meeting with Vasily Nikolaevich, but they decided to wait for the right time for publication.
Soon Vadim Alexandrovich was standing in that hall again, but he was already presenting his documents for the degree of Candidate of Philological Sciences. And although a lot of time passed after submitting the documents, they answered Vadim Alexandrovich quite quickly. It is not necessary to say that everything was too easy, there were not small difficulties and if there were fewer discussions during the defense of the masters thesis, then there were difficulties during scientific discussions during the defense of the candidates thesis, in addition to the difficulties that Vadim overcame only by preparing this work.
I decided to present to your attention my scientific dissertation «The impact on the psychological perception of literary work when using scientific and technical reliability and mathematical proof in the creation of fantastic works and constructions» for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Philological sciences. In this work of mine, I wanted to show the problem of the lack of scientific reliability in many fantastic works of our time and how this affects the perception of such works when the speech was completed, the questions were much stronger than last time.
Mr. Vavilov, do you really think that it has the role of using science as such? Were you not familiar with such concepts as philosophy, which should prevail in such a work? one of the listeners asked.
Im sorry, but I think its worth considering the philosophy of scientific development, which is very important especially for fantastic works.
In that case, what are the goals of creating textbooks? Science should be located only for popularization and no more. And even then it should not be increased unnecessarily. And you propose to increase the volume another listener was already asking, but it was clear from the intonation that everyone perfectly understood the idea of Vadim Alexandrovich, but they asked questions specifically to refute the idea at all costs for the young researcher.
Gentlemen, to protect the work, I can bring to your attention a more detailed presentation of the work «Philosophy of Science in Works», which has been published and has detailed instructions and answers to your questions.
We have read your work, Vadim Alexandrovich. We didnt find any special evidence of your rightness there
This dispute lasted for quite a long time, so the candidates work cost Vadim Alexandrovich much more than the masters work. But this did not frighten him, because he planned to present his biggest work in his doctoral dissertation. After receiving the post of Candidate of Sciences, Vadim began to receive much more and already seemed to have enough for a comfortable life, but he could not get down to it in any way. Therefore, he decided first to take up the post of doctor of sciences, and then to take care of his apartment, his house, which still remained the same as it was.
The work on the doctoral dissertation was going well and Vadim Alexandrovich repeatedly rewrote the work that he had conceived back in his masters degree. Together with Vasily Nikolaevich, who was always there, they were able to publish a monograph and a textbook, as well as about 50 scientific articles for this year. Protection was coming soon. Vasily Nikolaevich never showed even the slightest distrust of his colleague, on the contrary, he supported him. But a lot changed in the summer of 2002.
Vadim Alexandrovich and Vasily Nikolaevich continued their work at the professors house, who never invited his colleague. The door opened and the grandson of the Doctor of Sciences entered. The scientists did not get distracted and did not pay attention, and noticed the boy only when he approached the dense. Then they decided to take a break and go out for tea. Then the boy asked:
Vadim Alexandrovich, and what is your most important work based on, as grandpa says? in the eyes of the boy there was a sincere desire for knowledge and curiosity, which did not give rest for a moment, Vadim had to explain in the simplest possible language, without a term, and then he said:
Ill explain it to you like this. Imagine youre reading an interesting book, and you really like it. Its about spaceships, about adventures
And about pirates, rescuers? the boy added.
And about pirates, and about rescuers. And now imagine a writer who came up with a story, but does not know how to write for a boy like you, so that it would be very interesting. Here I will come to help him.
How is that?
Its very simple. If he has an idea, then he can look at my table and understand what his idea looks like, because there are many of them, and their types too. Having learned the type, he can also, through my table, looking at the features of his story, which I have listed here, understand how to write so that all such boys and girls like his book, and so that it is popular.
Is it possible?
Of course, its possible.
Then I will definitely read your work when you are done! the boy spoke with delight. And then I will write the best book that has not been read yet!
Go play said the professor, then turned to a colleague Are you sure that we will succeed?
Of course, Vasily Nikolaevich, because we have been working for a whole year.
Maybe it will work out, but Im not sure what they will miss there. You have not forgotten the dispute after the defense of the candidate.
Of course I havent forgotten, but what prevents me from breaking through a second time?
Hmm I made an appointment with Gabriel Artemovich about our meeting with him. He asked you to be there too. Therefore, if you dont mind, lets go to him, and we will continue the work after arrival the professor tried to persuade.
If its urgent
Very soon they were already in place and were sitting with their old friend, Academician Gavriil Artemovich.
Vasily Nikolaevich told about your work the academician himself was of advanced age, so he spoke slowly. And you know, Vadim Alexandrovich, now I dont know you enough, and you know me. I have often supported you, but this time, we need to face the truth. This is too large-scale work.
Gavriil Artemovich, you can not doubt me.
Vadim Alexandrovich this was said by Gavriila Artemovichs comrade Academician Viktor Romanovich, who was sitting with them if you want to hear my advice, as an academician and colleague of Gavriila Artemovich, then for so many years I have never heard that there was such a miraculous table in literature, even if the best psychologist in the world takes up the case. Believe me, I dont see much prospect. Yes, it was a good job. Yes, they agreed with you when you were a teacher, when you were a master, even when you were a candidate, but to have a doctor already Im sorry, but I think you should do more mundane things.
But
Viktor Romanovich is absolutely right, Gavriil Artemovich added, I will also advise you to leave this job of yours and take up a simpler type. For example, leave at least that table to determine the type of narration and based on this, in addition, you have enough for this.
But Professor, so much work
I think Viktor Romanovich and Gavriil Artemovich are right, Vadim. I also agree with them, I just couldnt tell you that. This is pure utopia, Vadim Alexandrovich, and there is no point in continuing our work. It is better to take one detail and develop it a little, as far as possible. In my opinion, this is the only move.
Also, do not forget about your health, because if you work too much on such a big job, you may face insanity said Viktor Romanovich.
Viktor Romanovich, how can this threaten me when I love my job
Which has no future of its own added Gavriil Artemovich.
Maybe, maybe your idea is somehow realized in 5 years, maybe in 10, or maybe in 100 years at all? Vasily Nikolaevich tried to speak mildly, but now we have no chance. The best thing that can happen is that your speech will not be approved as valid, and we will return. And at worst, you will be offered to perform only next year!
I understand you, gentlemen only Vadim Alexandrovich replied dryly.
Then Vasily Nikolaevich looked at his watch and said:
Excuse me, I think its time for us, we still need to prepare the work I offered Vadim Alexandrovich to go.
They were returning to Vasily Nikolaevichs house, but then suddenly the professor told the driver to turn off. When they turned around, they arrived in the forest
Chapter four. Journey
It is not known where they were going and what the professor was up to, but when they turned, they were already passing through some forest that Vadim Alexandrovich had not been familiar with before. Suddenly the driver lost control and the car fell to the side of the road. To the horror of the scientists, the driver died on the spot, and they themselves were slightly injured. When they came out, the candidate of Sciences asked the professor:
Professor, where were we going?
We were going to the same university, I wanted to show you an old friend of mine, but apparently fate threw us not far. This is the same forest where my colleague died in an accident said Vasily Nikolaevich holding on to a colleague. It was already evening and it was dark, they needed to get back into the city somehow.
Vasily Nikolaevich, but how will we get home?
There are no cars passing through here, because a longer, but safer way was built, I wanted to shorten it. Therefore, the only option is for us to walk, I think there should be an exit not far away, because we have not driven so deep.
What about our phones?
We wont be able to give any signal, our phones wont work.
After this brief dialogue, they continued their journey on foot. On the way Vadim Alexandrovich asked:
And who was your colleague and why did you want to show me his place of work?
I wanted to show you his work. He was a physicist and worked tirelessly. He was a candidate of sciences and worked on chemical compounds or, more precisely, on their atomic structures. He worked so hard and was able to reveal completely new data. Then the security services became interested in him, he began to appear less in public, and I had little opportunity to communicate with him after that. And then, I was able to meet him for the last time. And then, it became clear about his death. Surprisingly, at his request, his corpse is still here. I think weve come,» the professor whispered.
The professors phone had a built-in flashlight, and he didnt turn it on to save the charge, which was almost gone, but now he couldnt help but show it. He turned it on and directed it up. A body appeared before the eyes of Vadim Alexandrovich, this man was hanged on a tree branch. Frozen bottomless eyes exuded incomprehensible emotions. He was a middle-aged man, slightly younger than the professor. He was wearing a white lab coat and gloves. And a crazy smile froze on his face for ever
Vadim Alexandrovich froze in place, and Vasily Nikolaevich spoke:
Thats what excessive striving leads to! Do you think science will reciprocate your efforts? no! They will suck all your blood and make you rot hanging on the gallows made by your hands! Yes, we are scientists, but we must also beware of this force. When we go too deep and learn, we become stronger, but our enthusiasm causes fear they are afraid of us. They were afraid of him! He became so strong that people simply did not catch up to him and thats what it led to! Therefore he quickly looked at Vadim stop Vadim Alexandrovich and stop your work! And start a simple job, otherwise the same fate awaits you!
The candidate of Sciences froze in place and simply could not move, could not say a word, he was torn apart from the inside, he was shod with fear, fear, where did his scientific courage go? Where had his fearlessness gone? Now they were gone and Vadim Alexandrovich realized how far he had come Suddenly they heard the howl of a wolf and rushed forward, trying to escape as quickly as possible, but Vadim Alexandrovich fell and lost consciousness
