Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 283 Shell
There are [-] points left, Zhang Zhong thought about it, and decided to use up the [-] points.

"Let's draw a lottery." Zhang Zhong gave an order to the system.

[The lottery is being drawn. 】

[The lottery draw is over, congratulations on winning the work "After School". 】

After school?
Zhang Chong was in a complicated mood. This was the third novel by Keigo Higashino that he had picked up. The first two were "The Grocery Store" and "The Devotion of Suspect x". The reason for the style has not been released, and it is still in my hands.

"After School" is definitely Keigo Higashino's famous work, and it is also the first peak of his writing career.At that time, this book also won the No.30 Edogawa Ranpo Award. That year, Keigo Higashino was only 27 years old.

But ten years after this peak, his writing career began to decline.

This point is a bit similar to Zhao Nuan, who became famous in one book and then fell silent for ten years, but now Zhao Nuan is still in silence. As for whether he can be reborn from Nirvana like Keigo Higashino, it still depends on him.

Zhang Zhong liked this book very much, but now he wanted the content before "I, Robot" even more.

The most important thing is that I got the short stories in "I, Robot" three times in a row just now, which made Zhang Zhong mistakenly think that even if he couldn't get the previous content, he could still get other short stories in "I, Robot", but Facts have shown that this is not the case, and other books will still be drawn.

Zhang Zhong sat on the sofa and touched his head. After thinking for a while, he made a decision.

He will send out this "After School" in a while, and he will not give up "I, Robot".

Anyway, he has read all the original works, and he remembers all of them. As long as he puts some thought into it, he can always write the beginning.

And he also made a decision to completely Sinicize the book "I, Robot" and make it a Chinese book.

Just do it, he took out his laptop, and began to write the three short stories he had just drawn in order.

After writing it, he was not in a hurry to Sinicize these three articles, but scratched his head and began to recall the content of the original work.

There is a preface in the original book, which is probably the wedge of this book, explaining the person who wrote the story and the person who narrated it.

The work is No.1, "I" went to interview a robot psychologist named Susan.

Before the collection of novels came out, Susan appeared in Asimov's third robot novel "Liar", but later, for the coherence of the story and the logical cause and effect, she was placed at the beginning as the narrative of the story By.

Zhang Zhong roughly ran through Susan's resume in his mind, because she often appears in Asimov's novels and is a very important character, so it is not difficult to do this.

Susan was born in 1982. At the age of 16, she wrote her first thesis on the theme of "Useful Aspects of Robotic Learning".

In 2002, she saw an early robot equipped with voice function demonstrated by Alfred in a seminar on the mathematics of mind, and her interest in robots was ignited ever since.

In 2003, he received a degree from Columbia University and began to study cybernetics at the Institute, learning to construct a positron brain and predict the response of the positron brain to the given stimulus.

……

In fact, Zhang Zhongzhong wrote "I, Robot", in addition to perfecting the missing parts and Sinicization, there is also a very important and difficult task.

After all, this book was published on Earth in 1950, and many assumptions made at that time are no longer appropriate now.

Although the imagination of "I, Robot" is very advanced, it is completely inconsistent with the current era, and the research and understanding of robots are more in-depth nowadays.

Many ideas were placed decades ago, and others may say that they are ahead of schedule, but they will make people feel silly if they are placed now.

The reason why Zhang Zhong values ​​this book so much is because of the moral discussion about humans and robots.

Robots have been born for such a long time, and of course there have been discussions in both the scientific and literary circles.A lot has been said about robots, too.

But until now, no one has written such a thing as the three laws of robotics.

It's not that no one has invented the law, but there is no such simple, clear and practical law.This has led to different understandings by different writers in novels involving robots, and different laws have been derived.

Zhang Zhong noticed a science fiction novel two days ago, in which the setting for the robot is as follows: strictly obey the master's orders.

This setting is relatively crude, and the robot becomes a purely private tool, even a weapon.

And such a setting is also likely to cause panic. After all, if you see a robot on the road, no one knows who the owner of this robot is. It may be a terrorist who will pull out a bomb from his arms at any time.

In some novels, the robot is set like a pet. The robot must be by the owner's side to act, and no unauthorized actions are allowed.

These settings are also divided into conservatives and radicals. Conservatives will actively limit the intellectual development of robots and not allow robots to think independently, but in this way, the development of robots will face bottlenecks.

The radicals feel that there are no restrictions, as long as human rules and laws are input into the robot's program, they will become more law-abiding than humans.

In fact, these rules have their merits, and they are not necessarily worse than the three rules, but the three rules are the most macroscopic, the most concise, and most importantly, the most pretentious.

No one would be so foolish as to think that the three laws will solve the robot problem, and readers know that the three laws are just the laws of science fiction, not the laws of science.

Science fiction and science must be separated.

Zhang Zhong slowly typed Susan's personal resume on the computer.

Then he reopened an interface, he needs to throw away all the robot development history in "I, Robot", and rebuild a robot development history.

Of course, this matter is not simple. He still needs to check the development of robots in this world, such as when was the first robot equipped with voice function, and when was there an intelligent robot.

Then he also needs to know some knowledge about robots in order to improve the background of the story in the book.

What he is doing now is tantamount to rewriting a book with a story outline that does not conform to the real world.The core of the story has not changed, but the shell of the story is completely different.
