Chapter 742 "Artificial Intelligence"
The characteristic of short stories is that they are very flexible and may be able to finish them in one or two days, which is obviously more in line with Zhang Chu's current situation.
Many wonderful works are made up of short stories, and he had never thought about writing this before.
"What kind of theme is better for short stories?"
Zhang Chu leaned on the back of the chair, staring at the screen with his eyes in a daze.
Perhaps short stories can give him a chance to try new genres!
Even though he has written so many books, some types are not involved, such as science fiction novels.
As the saying goes, a boat is easy to turn around, and it is not a bad idea to use this short story as a carrier of attempts.
To be honest, he actually likes science fiction movies, science fiction dramas and novels very much, but science fiction is not particularly popular in China.
Now that he found the right direction, Zhang Chu began to get ready, and he was full of expectations for this fresh type.
"I guess those readers will be amazed if they send it out. It turns out that Zhang Chu can also write science fiction novels!"
For a long time, science fiction has been divided into hard science fiction and soft science fiction.
And those hard science fiction writers and readers always seem to look down on soft science fiction, thinking that the genre should be divided and should not be called science fiction.
The importance of science, technology and physical laws is reduced, and most of the topics involved are soft science or humanities, such as philosophy, psychology, politics or sociology, etc.
Science fiction writers with science and engineering backgrounds usually pay more attention to scientific basis, and their descriptions and explanations of science fiction factors are also more detailed, which will make readers unable to help but believe it!
Obviously, Zhang Chu does not have such ability. Even though he studied science in high school, he did not hesitate to abandon the theory and study in college.
People like him who have not been trained in professional science and engineering will avoid the important things when describing scientific and technological content, and try to win with the plot, meaning, and character.
Whether it is hard science fiction or soft science fiction, it is just a novel in the final analysis, so the story is the most important thing!
It does not mean that readers will like a lot of scientific knowledge in the novel, and they must be cleverly integrated with the plot.
Playing with strengths and avoiding weaknesses is a problem that every writer must consider. If you foolishly expose your shortcomings, it is really a problem with your IQ!
For example, if a person does not describe the character well, he must try to avoid spending more writing on the characters. If he does not grasp the relationship between the characters well, he should write less about the relationship between the characters. If he is not good at setting up the atmosphere, he should avoid it.
Knowing that there is a tiger in the mountain, but traveling towards the tiger mountain is sometimes the root cause of a poor review of a book.
Of course, sometimes when you correctly understand these shortcomings, you have to work hard to find ways to improve them.
Hard science fiction can't be written, so Zhang Chu's goal can only be placed on soft science fiction.
The content of soft science fiction is also very broad. He was thinking carefully in his mind. What kind of story should he write if he wanted to attract people?
There are many popular elements now, you can just find a breakthrough.
At this time, Zhang Chu remembered what he saw in the pet hospital, the artificial intelligence collar.
Artificial intelligence has always been a popular element of science fiction novels, such as dystopian novels, space opera novels and cyberpunk novels.
When computers and machines can learn, educate and teach others, express morality, and understand and demonstrate love, anger, and fear in human emotions, these are conflicts.
In early science fiction novels, many writers took a negative attitude towards artificial intelligence or appeared as negative characters.
From the original "Frankstein", to the smart doll that killed its maker in "Clock Tower", to the French writer Verrier's "Future Eve" who described Edison as a weird inventor, he created a smart robot that was extremely similar to a real woman for his friend.
Since then, more and more science fiction writers have added artificial intelligence to their works, and even derived them into movies and TV series.
"Terminator" and "The Matrix" are the biggest supporters of the danger theory of artificial intelligence.
Although many writers regard artificial intelligence as a threat to human existence, many people do not agree with this pessimistic prediction. They are more willing to describe the artificial intelligence in their works as a right-hand assistant to humans, with the theme of serving humans.
The three famous laws of robots were written in this situation.
Zhang Chu remembers many excellent works about artificial intelligence, such as the famous "End's Game", "Herberian", "Space Odyssey" series, "Newton Awakening", "Stern Moon", etc.
He wanted to write a relatively warm short story, which were long stories, and some of them already existed in real life!
Unless he can go to modify the timeline, some of the works cannot be written.
"Just search on the system's off-site help function to see if there are any suitable short stories."
The reputation of the system has always increased and not decreased, so I don’t feel sorry for spending it.
Zhang Chu searched for the two keywords "artificial intelligence science fiction novel" in the Savior system and entered it.
The one at the top of the search results turned out to be a movie called "The Super Toys Whole Last Summer"!
"Is this system broken? What the hell is this searched for?"
Zhang Chu had never heard of this book title at all, and it didn't look very reliable at first glance.
Just as he was planning to search again, the system opened the encyclopedia of this novel by ghosts and gods.
After seeing the name of the movie, Zhang Chu suddenly realized that it was that movie!
When he was young, he had watched it several times on CCTV Movie Channel. The story of the movie was probably about a small robot in order to find a adoptive mother and to turn himself into a real human child. "Let your mother love me" became the only goal of the robot child traveling through mountains and rivers and overcoming many crises.
The whole story is not too sharp, but has a warm outer sand, like a piece of wine-hearted chocolate, mellow and meaningful.
I don’t know how many people in the world are moved by this movie and by the waiting for the little robot David, which has spanned thousands of years.
When the movie was finally cloned and only one day appeared again, the scene was extremely touching.
