[Two thousand collections plus more delivered, when will three thousand collections plus more come?]

"The first rule of robots: Robots must not harm humans, or sit idly by and ignore humans. ”

"The Second Law of Robots: Robots must obey human orders unless the First Law is violated. ”

"The Third Rule of Robots: Without violating the First and Second Laws, the robot must protect itself. ”

After the development of time, there is actually a zero rule, but Lin Han doesn't want to throw it all out now, keep it for the future, and send it slowly, so as not to have too much impact at once.

In science fiction at this time, writers still described robots as "robots threaten humans" or "robots oppose human enslavement", and they didn't expect to be able to control robots from the source.

Treating robots as industrial products made by engineers, with built-in safety mechanisms and not posing a threat to their owners, are the root of all robot behaviors.

When on Earth, many Hollywood science fiction movies also continued this premise, without trespassing, only occasionally subverting the laws of the variants.

That's what's so interesting about robot science fiction that, while it lays down these three rules, it highlights the unexpected dilemmas that robots suffer when they try to follow these rules, and these loopholes create a prisoner's dilemma for robots.

Lin Han's writing speed is not fast, his writing is not that gorgeous type, but full of rustic taste, no superfluous environmental description, no large sections of deliberate lyricism, and no embellishment of any human-machine love stories.

All words are in the service of the center, and the protagonists here are not humans, but robots.

In addition to the introduction, this collection of short stories has nine short stories, and all Lin Han has to do now is write the first one, "Robbie".

However, when it comes to revision, this is obviously much more difficult than directly copying and copying, so Lin Han has to stop and scratch his hair from time to time and think carefully about whether such a modification is just inappropriate.

The introduction is a one-person narrative in which the protagonist is a journalist who goes to interview a lady named Susan Calvin. The time when it was first written was 1942, and there was a big gap between the United States at that time and the present, so the background of the times had to be refined and in line with the present.

So simply set Ms. Susan's birthday in 2102, and Ms. Susan, who is 75 years old and the same age as "American Robotics & Robotics", needs to be modified from her educational background to the scientific name, and even the structure of the first robot.

He overestimated his abilities and thought he could get the first chapter out today, only to write the first draft of the introduction.

The introduction of a few thousand words just outlines the big picture, and at the same time leads to the content of the first chapter, which begins to tell the story of the little girl and Robbie, the nanny robot, that is, the story within the story.

Susan Cavel is a robot psychologist who has been working aholically for decades in the psychology of robots, and she has more "human" flavor and respect for robots than other scientists, setting the emotional tone of the whole novel.

Robbie is the name of a robot, as the first robot to appear in the novel, he doesn't speak, and is only used as a babysitter, and another lively and cute little girl is called Glori, and the story of the first chapter takes place between Robbie and Glori.

The story of "Robbie" tells the story of a little human girl to a robot nanny, and the wariness and worry of human adults about robots, without much conflict and contradiction.

In terms of story alone, there are certainly no ups and downs or incomparably grand scenes, but it is symbolic enough to be an important dividing point in the history of science fiction.

Lin Han's headache now is the dialogue of the characters, in which the thoughts and personalities of the characters are expressed through dialogue, what identity of the person and what kind of words, so that it can be the most appropriate.

As night fell, Lin Han got up from his chair, twisted his neck to relax his shoulders, and at the same time walked to the window to look into the distance, so that his eyes could rest.

Writing is not in a hurry, other writers may take a year to write a novel, he has a memory of the previous life has been a big step ahead, when others stand at the starting line and start the race, he is already standing in front of the finish line ready to take the final step.

The lights of thousands of homes are lit up, and the lights of the buildings in the community make people perceive the warmth of home, and occasionally a few dog barks and the laughter of young people break the silence of the night.

Cars drove back to the garage from the main road, and the office workers finally had a break after a hard day's work.

Lin Han withdrew his gaze, he touched his slightly deflated stomach, turned around and went to the kitchen, washed rice and cooked, and then began to steam it with a rice cooker.

As for the dishes, just make it a little simpler, the last time I went to the supermarket to buy the dishes and chicken breast, there is still a little bit of it, and the craftsmanship is about to eat, and the people who are about to pay the rent are not qualified to be picky about life.

It was a bit lonely to be alone in the room, so he simply turned on the TV with the remote control, and it was better to play any program than quietly.

There was still no light on in the opposite room, and Lin Han began to worry about Chen Jiaxuan, so he took his mobile phone and began to hesitate whether to call or not.

"She's my agent, and I'm writing a new book now, so it's right to call and ask. Well, that's it, for business. ”

After Lin Han did a good job of psychological construction, the phone changed and went out, and the ringtones of unknown songs echoed in the mobile phone, which sounded strangely comfortable.

He didn't let him wait long before the phone was connected, and a familiar voice came out, "Hey, Lin Han, you actually called me, what the hell is going on?"

"Well, I just received a notice that I have to pay the heating bill, I'm afraid you don't know, so I called and asked, are you busy now?"

Chen Jiaxuan showed a smile in the car, her originally tired face suddenly shone brightly, the Bluetooth headset was pinned, and she cautiously began to reverse.

"I'm not busy, I'm parking in the garage below. It turned out to be just a matter of heating bills, I thought what to do, and immediately came up to chat, I have good news for you. ”

Lin Han was stunned, he smiled and said, "Such a coincidence, I also have good news." Now or later?"

"Wait a minute, I'm already on the elevator, remember to open the door. ”
