The characteristic of the short story is that it is very flexible, and it may be written in a day or two, which is obviously more in line with Zhang Chu's current situation.

A lot of the wonderful works were made up of short stories, and he hadn't thought about writing about this before.

"What is the best subject matter for a short story?"

Zhang Chu leaned back in the chair, staring at the screen in a slight daze.

Maybe the short story will give him a chance to try a new genre!

Even though he has written so many books, there are still some genres that are not covered, such as science fiction.

As the saying goes, it's good to turn around when the boat is small, and it's not impossible to use this kind of short story as a carrier for trying.

To be honest, he actually likes science fiction movies and science fiction dramas very much, but science fiction is not particularly popular in China.

Now that he has found his way, Zhang Chu began to gear up, and he was full of anticipation for this fresh genre.

"It is estimated that if you send it out, those readers will be amazed twice, it turns out that Zhang Chu can also write science fiction!"

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 that genre should be divided and should not be called science fiction.

The importance of science and technology and the laws of physics has been reduced, and most of the subjects involved are soft sciences or humanities, such as philosophy, psychology, political science or sociology.

Science fiction writers with a science and engineering background usually pay more attention to scientific evidence, and the description and explanation of science fiction factors are also more detailed, which will make readers can't help but believe it!

Obviously, Zhang Chu does not have such ability, even if he studied science in high school, but when he got to college, he did not hesitate to abandon science and literature.

People like him, who have not been trained in science and engineering, will avoid the important when describing scientific and technological content, and try to win with the storyline, moral and character.

Whether it's hard sci-fi or soft sci-fi, in the final analysis, it's just that, so the story is the most important thing!

It's not that if you stuff a lot of scientific knowledge into it, readers will definitely like it, but it also needs to be cleverly integrated with the plot.

Promoting strengths and avoiding weaknesses is a problem that every writer must take into account, if you foolishly expose your shortcomings, it is really a problem with IQ!

For example, people who are not good at character image description should try to avoid spending more pen and ink on the characters, write less about the character relationships if they do not grasp the relationship between the characters, and avoid the points if they are not good at atmosphere setting.

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and preferring to go to the tiger mountains, sometimes it will be the root cause of a bad evaluation of a book.

Of course, sometimes if you correctly recognize these shortcomings, you have to work hard to find ways to improve.

Hard science fiction can't be written, so Zhang Chu's goal can only be placed on soft science fiction.

The content of soft sci-fi is also very broad, and he seriously thinks about what kind of story he has to write in order to attract people.

There are many popular elements now, and you can find a breakthrough at any time.

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, such as dystopia, space opera, and cyberpunk.

When computers and machines are able to learn, educate and teach others, and express morality, they can understand and demonstrate the love, anger, and fear of human emotions.

In early science fiction, many writers took a negative attitude towards AI or appeared as a villain.

From the original "Frankstein", to the intelligent puppet in "The Clock Tower" in which the intelligent doll killed its own maker, to the French writer Villiers's "Future Eve", in which Edison is described as a strange inventor, creating an intelligent robot Hadley for his friend that is very similar to a real woman.

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 proponents of the theory of the danger of artificial intelligence.

Although many writers see artificial intelligence as a threat to the survival of mankind, there are also many people who do not agree with this pessimistic prediction, and prefer to describe the artificial intelligence in their works as the right-hand man of human beings, with the main purpose of serving human beings.

The famous Three Laws of Robotics were written in such a situation.

Zhang Chu has many excellent works about artificial intelligence in his memory, such as the famous "Ender's Game", "Hyperion", "Space Odyssey" series, "Newton's Awakening", "Stern Moon" and so on.

He wanted to write a more tender short story, these are long stories, and some of them already exist in real life!

Unless he can run to change the timeline, he can't write some part of the work.

"Just search the side of the earth in the system's off-site help function to see if there are any suitable short stories. ”

The reputation of the system has been increasing unabated, so it doesn't feel distressing to spend it at all.

Zhang Chu searched for two keywords "artificial intelligence science fiction" in the savior system.

As a result, at the top of the search results was a film called "Super Toys That Ran All Summer Last Year"!

"Is this system broken? What the hell is this search for?"

Zhang Chu had never heard of this title at all, and it didn't look very reliable at first glance.

Just as he was about to search again, the system opened this encyclopedia by mistake.

[Brian Addis published a short science fiction story published in 1969, and in 2001 the single story was adapted by Stanley Kubrick into the screenplay for the science fiction film "Artificial Intelligence", and the film was eventually directed by Spielberg!]

After seeing the name of the movie, Zhang Chu suddenly realized that it was the movie!

When he was young, he had watched it on the CCTV movie channel several times, and the story of the movie was probably a little robot in order to find his adoptive mother, in order to make himself a real human child, "let my mother love me" became the only goal of the robot child to trek through mountains and rivers and cross many crises.

The whole story is not too aggressive, but there is a warm outer sand, like a piece of wine chocolate, mellow and meaningful.

I don't know how many people in the world were moved by this movie, by the little robot David, who has been waiting for thousands of years.

When the film finally clones the mother who has only been there for a day reappears, the scene is extremely touching.

"That's the story, an artificial intelligence with the theme of understanding and love!" Zhang Chu was glad that he hadn't closed the page.
