Writing Web Novels In America-Chapter 332 - 316 Redefining Loch Ness

Because of Wang Jian’s instructions, the current website operations haven’t been affected by external public opinions.

Aside from several African receptionists who were busy warding off reporters with their rap-like tones,

Everyone’s focus was primarily on restoring normal operations of the website.

"Wang," Tom said, holding a data report and handing it over, "recently, the work with the highest subscription is Dan Brown’s ’Da Vinci’s Code.’"

"Hmm." Wang Jian casually flipped through it before placing the document on his desk.

He wasn’t the least bit surprised by this result.

The content of this work had been explosive lately!

"Dan Brown really dares to write, even beginning to question Jesus’s resurrection as being done by a substitute."

Considering this plot’s importance in the ’Bible’.

It was as provocative to some people as saying Maria’s conception wasn’t a "miracle" but rather, giving the carpenter Joseph a cuckolding.

"Compared to that, the plot of ’King Arthur’ is not worth mentioning," Wang Jian thought about the recent call from Dan Brown, asking if he needed to speak out for ’Anomalies’.

Though he had tactfully declined, it proved that the other party was doing well and still had the energy to pay attention to other matters.

"Mr. Brown, you certainly are my guiding light," Wang Jian waved his hand, signaling Tom to leave.

Afterward, he picked up the outline and continued writing his novel.

In the previous plot, King Arthur had already pacified the surrounding lords and had fully occupied the northern part of the Empire in Scotland.

This action had also attracted the attention of his elder brother, the Eldest Prince, and his sister, the Princess.

The Princess, whose territory was far from her "worthless younger brother", and who was losing in the war against the Eldest Prince,

Naturally delighted in this situation.

The reaction of the Eldest Prince was imaginable.

"We must annihilate my worthless younger brother and take back the north!"

"Your Highness," his subordinate advised, "the French army has already set off, ready to fully engage in the war in England."

"At this moment, we cannot spare troops to annihilate Prince Arthur."

"Hmm..." The Eldest Prince stared at the map for a long time, reluctantly nodding his head.

However, a moment later, he suddenly asked, "Isn’t there a rumor that Arthur is harboring a witch?"

"Yes," the subordinate bowed in response.

"Then..." the Eldest Prince pointed at the location of the capital, "the Church’s Holy Knight Order should be quite concerned about such matters, shouldn’t they?"

Here, Wang Jian played a little trick.

He set the leader of the First Knight Order as Sir Barian, the last "Guardian of Jerusalem" from the First Crusade.

"In George Martin’s ’A Song of Ice and Fire’, the prototype for that king’s bastard blacksmith is probably this person."

Wang Jian considered the fame of this historical figure and nodded his head.

"Well, it’s said that Hollywood scriptwriters even want to make Sir Barian the protagonist of a major historical epic!"

However, the military force of the Church generally adopted the ’Three Giants’ model...

Thinking this over, Wang Jian transferred over Liside, the most notorious executioner of the Inquisition who persecuted Galileo.

The last character would definitely and necessarily be a woman.

After all, the success of ’Brave Heart’ and ’Spartacus’ proved that the dual "blaze of guns" action was very marketable.

So...

Hinting at ’Saint Joan’ was simply the perfect choice.

"Hmm, the Church’s army is generally male, so mixing in Hua Mulan wouldn’t be bad either." freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Thus, this famous French heroine also acquired the attributes of "a valiant warrior in uniform and an unparalleled beauty in women’s clothes."

"King Arthur, transcending time and space, to have a romance with Saint Joan and make her a Knight of the Round Table?"

Wang Jian thought about it and nodded slightly, "Compared to Wallace winning the British Princess’s first night in ’Brave Heart,’ should it be almost the same?"

As you know, in "Brave Heart," that princess was a French princess!

"As for King Arthur’s side..."

Wang Jian flipped through previous updates, his fingers tapping lightly on the desktop.

In the original work, the protagonist’s strength enhancement was mainly divided into two aspects.

On one hand, of course, "technology is the primary productive force."

On the other hand, it involved gathering more witches to achieve a significant enhancement in extraordinary abilities.

However, the situation he and the original author faced was different; here, too many well-known authors and famous works had written about Magic.

Works like DND and "The Lord of the Rings" had played with magic extensively and had deeply resonated with people.

Wang Jian asked himself, in this area, it was very difficult to make any creative breakthroughs.

"Then, the focus should be on technology, continuing to drive the story development along this creative vein."

He looked at the previous text, his brows deeply furrowed.

Even though the physics knowledge in this book could anger Newton and make Einstein cry,

Hawking might even take a few steps after reading this novel, becoming a medical miracle.

But this did not mean he could write nonsense.

On the premise of just completing something similar to the first "Industrial Revolution," creating things like AK-47s and Maxim guns,

"That would scare the readers away!"

What were some significant technological advances during the same historical period?

Wang Jian opened Yahoo and began to search.

"Flintlock guns, small-caliber cannons, it would be tough to defeat the book’s Holy Knight Corps possessing formidable supernatural strength..."

After reading a few web pages, his eyes slowly lit up.

"Back then, they already had prototypes of airplanes and steamships?"

But after seeing the specific designs, Wang Jian helplessly shook his head.

Flying for only a dozen seconds, completely unusable in combat...

As for steamships, they were more for transport, with weapons and land strategies basically the same.

Just as Wang Jian was about to abandon realism and invent TNT prematurely, an old photo caught his eye.

"In 1620, Dutch physicist Durrells successfully built a submarine."

"This also served as the prototype for the submarine in Jules Verne’s ’Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.’"

This thing is really damn ugly...

But as a science fiction author, seeing this thing and being able to think of modern submarines, he truly deserves to be called the "King of Sci-Fi."

This made Wang Jian, an online novel writer, feel incredibly impressed.

Wait a minute...

I’m an online novel writer!

Aren’t my strengths brainstorming and tapping into popular trends?

Wang Jian stared at the picture for a long time, and an idea formed in his mind.

Since King Arthur’s strength was not enough to repel the Holy Knight Corps, he could completely change the perspective.

The Industrial Revolution, England...

What means could make the Holy Knight Corps retreat without feeling out of place?

He looked at the map for a long time and finally murmured, "Loch Ness... a monster?"
