Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 282 Ring Dance
Parker swallowed, and continued to tell the next story.

At the same time, he was secretly glad that he chose this coffee shop. If it was in a darker place, the few of them would have been scared to pee their pants by the girl's screams just now.

They were not the only customers in the coffee shop. When the girl called just now, other customers also looked over curiously. Seeing them forming a circle, they probably thought they were playing some kind of game.

When Parker opened his mouth to read again, someone pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Oh, it seems to be reading, so I came here to run a reading salon.

The coffee shop was very quiet, and Parker's voice was not loud, but he could still hear what he was saying as long as he listened carefully.

Slowly, several customers who were originally concentrating on drinking coffee were also attracted by the story Parker told.

Parker read for more than two hours and didn't read too much, but today's salon is coming to an end.

A young man ran over when he saw Parker closed the book, "Sir, what is the name of the book in your hand? I just listened to it for a while and found it very interesting."

Parker smiled and showed the cover, "This book is called The Shining, and it's pz's new book."

"pz?" The young man scratched his head, "Sorry, I haven't paid attention to it recently, is it a new author?"

Parker smiled. Although pz's reputation in North America is already very high, it will never reach the point where everyone knows him. It's normal for some people not to know him, so he gave the young man a brief introduction, "pz is A writer who only came out last year, but he has already written more than a dozen works, and each of them is a masterpiece..."

Although it was a brief introduction, it took Parker a lot of time to describe Zhang Zhong's works.

Hearing pz's work, the young man raised his eyebrows and said, "So he wrote "Dune". I have a friend who was reading this book a few days ago, but I don't know the author's name."

""Dune" is also very good, but we have already read it, and I am currently reading "The Shining". I will come again at this time tomorrow. If you are interested, you can come and listen to it tomorrow."

"Is that possible?"

"Of course, as long as you are willing. But although we are studying together, we must support the sales of pz's new book."

"No problem, I'll go buy a copy."

……

Parker, who is far away across the ocean, is working hard for the sales of Zhang Xin's book, while Zhang Zhong is sitting by the beach with his family to watch the sunrise.

In order to watch the sunrise, he also deliberately changed hotels.

The hotel they stayed in before was in the west-facing Luzhou Bay, which is also the best place in Luzhou to watch the sunset.But now they live in Haitang Bay in the east, which is also the most suitable place to watch the sunrise.

There are still some weak lights beside the villa, but it does not affect people watching the sunrise.

When I took Pengpeng and the others to the thatched shed to watch the sunrise, the sky in the east was still dark, like a black curtain blocking the front, but the sound of rushing waves could still be heard.

Gradually, the east side began to brighten. At first it was a light blue, and then a red glow appeared in a blink of an eye. The range of the red glow gradually expanded and became brighter and brighter.

Pengpeng clapped his hands, "The sun is coming out again."

Zhang Zhong nodded with a smile, this girl is still making progress, at least she doesn't say that the sun is an egg yolk like last time.

The speed of the sun's rising is not very fast, but it seems to be carrying some heavy burden. Slowly, step by step, it strives to rise up, and finally breaks through the clouds and jumps out of the sea completely.

Just like that, a big red sun rested firmly on the sea.

At this moment, a mechanical sound sounded in Zhang Zhong's mind, and his points increased by another ten thousand.

But he didn't rush to pay attention, but watched the sunrise with his family for a while.After leaving the beach, he took Peng Peng and the others to have breakfast.The hotel's breakfast is not bad, no need to find another place.

After breakfast, Zhang Zhong sorted out his points in his mind.

The points have been rising very slowly recently, but they have accumulated [-] points.

He spent [-] points to draw a lottery.

[Congratulations for winning the work "Ring Dance". 】

ring dance?

It was the first time that Zhang Zhong drew a book that he didn't remember which book it was after seeing the title.

He received the work, there are two copies in total, one is the Chinese version, which is "Ring Dance".The other is the English version, called "runaround".

When he saw run around, Zhang Zhong remembered what kind of book it was, but he wasn't quite sure.

After briefly going through the contents of the book in his mind, he finally realized that it turned out to be such a famous book.

Zhang Zhong had also read the Chinese version of this novel before, but it was in the collection, and run around was also translated into circles.

If you only talk about "Ring Dance" or "Circling Circles", few people will remember what novel it is, but if you say the name of the collection that contains this novel, many people will feel it is thunderous.

"I, Robot" is one of Asimov's most famous works. This collection of short stories contains a total of nine short stories. The stories of these nine short stories are independent, but they have a common theme-discussing the relationship between human beings and human beings. Ethical issues among robots.

The most well-known in this collection of novels is the "Three Laws of Robotics" proposed in it. Once these three laws were proposed, they became an unshakable iron law in the science fiction world.

The Three Laws of Robotics:

First, a robot may not injure a human being, or stand by and allow a human being to be harmed.

Second, unless it violates the first law, robots must obey human orders.

Third, a robot must protect itself without violating the first and second laws.

Of course, these three laws cannot be perfect, so many problems will arise.

"Ring Dance" is the first complete story of the three laws of robotics, but it is not the first in terms of the chronological order of the story.

In fact, when these short stories first came out, the stories did not have a strong logical order. It was only when the collection was released later that Asimov adjusted the order in order to make the cause and effect more reasonable.

And this "Ring Dance" is not only not the first in terms of publication time, but also not the first in terms of the cause and effect of the story.

The first story in the collection is "Robby", and before the story there is a short story by the narrator Susan.

Although shuffling the order didn't affect the reading very much, Zhang Zhong still wanted to get all the stories, so he called the system again and drew a lottery again.

[Congratulations, you have obtained "Rationality"]

[Congratulations, you have won "Catch the Rabbit"]

He drew two prizes. Fortunately, all the short stories in the collection were drawn, but unfortunately, he didn't get the beginning, only the back.

　Thank you [Infinite Menglong Orpheus] for the reward, thank you big brother
