Chapter 25: The saliva is still there
"Robbie" is the first story in the series "I, the machine qì people", about the not-too-distant future, a pair of parents bought a machine qì person to give to their daughter as a nanny, they named the machine qì man Robbie.
The girl's mother is a well-known family that is extremely easily influenced by the people around her, and when it is generally felt that owning a machine is a trend, she is also proud to have Robbie in the family, and when the anti-machine love is spreading around the world due to religious and union reasons, she is full of worries about Robbie.
She found that her daughter's relationship with Robbie was getting better and better, and she was reluctant to associate with other children, worried that her daughter would not be able to adapt to society because of this, so she kept encouraging her husband to send the machine back to the factory.
The daughter is so attached to the machine and becomes depressed after Robbie is sent away, and even plans to move to another city to live in order to get her daughter back to her parents.
In order to completely change their daughter's perception of the machine, the parents took their daughter to the company, where the daughter finally met Robbie again and saved her daughter from danger, which also made her parents agree that Robbie was not a soulless machine.
This story does not have the humor and ridicule of the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series, but after reading it, readers still think that it is a complete "cherishing autumn" style, because it is completely different from the previous novels, and it is even more different from Chu Li's "Mechanical Public Enemy".
In "The Enemy of the Machine", the contradiction between humans and the machine is mainly portrayed in real war scenes, while the "I, Machine Qì Man" series explores the psychological aspects of daily life, although there are no grand scenes, but they are just as fascinating.
At this time, a novel was published, and anyone could see Zhang Qiuxi's intentions, and the merits of these two stories naturally became a topic of discussion, and the students in the class were like this, and the media was more willing to compare them.
"The Mechanical Public Enemy is indeed a good work, but Xiqiu also told everyone with a story that is not weak at all, and the previous criticism of her is unreasonable, she can not only write hard science fiction, but also write just as well."
"There is no first, which of the two stories is more exciting, I believe that readers will have their own judgment, but from the theme of the moral problem between humans and machines, it is not intentional that Xiqiu explores the most profoundly."
"In Robbie's story, Qiu Xi meticulously depicts the fear of human beings for the machine and how this fear arises, and there is no sharp contradiction between the two, and she seems to want to create a story within the framework of the machine and the benefit of mankind, rather than pursuing the theme of the machine and its creator as the enemy of the machine and all previous similar novels."
——————
Li Yue was more willing to read these comments one by one than Zhang Qiuxi, and she put down the newspaper and said: "Chu Li is a well-known big mouth, and it makes people feel strange that he hasn't opened his mouth yet." ”
"You're gloating, aren't you? I like it though. Zhang Qiuxi smiled and said: "The public has not yet been able to come to a conclusion on which is better in the works of the two of us, but it is an indisputable fact that I have explored the moral issues of man and machine and man in depth, at least in this regard." ”
"Besides, his previous remarks have been slapped in the face, even if he is thick-skinned, it should be time to stop for a while, and now he still comes out crookedly, isn't that equivalent to sticking his face out to find a smoke?"
Before Chu Li and his support, he first criticized "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" as not science fiction at all, and most people refuted this statement, and then they went on to say that Zhang Qiuxi would never be able to write hard science fiction, and the war of words has been very happy until now, and Zhang Qiuxi's fans will naturally not let go of such an opportunity, and they are all waiting to see Chu Li's jokes.
Chu Li has not appeared a lot of cynicism, and even the media has begun to accuse him of biased remarks before, in this case, he will only attract more bricks, then it will really be too late.
Chu Li chose to be silent, but his supporters did not completely stop, but they were not so confident, after all, even Chu Li himself did not dare to open his mouth, what waves could those kittens and dogs make.
"Robbie is still a story that avoids the important and trivial, what is the way to get closer to life to explore the moral issues before man and machine qì man, and this is written entirely because Xiqiu can't control the grand pattern of war stories, and she can't write a story like the mechanical public enemy is still a fact, otherwise why avoid it?"
Li Yue read a comment, and then said: "There are a lot of similar remarks now, those people think that you are clumsy, if it weren't for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the restaurant at the end of the universe, they would probably say that you can't write a long story." ”
"Isn't there still someone who says this, and I don't hear much from Liang Ying's mouth?" Zhang Qiuxi shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Wen Wuyi's sentence is indeed very reasonable, there will be no unified argument at all before there is no overwhelming advantage, if people want to find fault, they can find something to say no matter what." ”
Zhang Qiuxi now proves that he can write hard science fiction and write the story of the machine, although this slapped Chu Li's face, but the two works have not really distinguished the superior, "Mechanical Public Enemy" does have merit, and "I, the machine qì people" has only published a short story, and more exciting is still to come.
"That's the same, if it's just a simple evaluation of the winners, then the sales of the magazine can already be seen at a glance, and the next issue of the fantasy world will definitely be supplemented, and the number of 150,000 in the science fiction sky has not been sold out, which is already very revealing."
"If the editor-in-chief of Fantasy World was so bold, then the sales volume should have exceeded the record of 200,000 copies, right?" Zhang Qiuxi shook his head, and then said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, I have to go to see the editor, if I don't come back during class, remember to ask me for leave." ”
Since she knew that Zhang Qiuxi was still a student, Hongdou would choose a location closer to the school when she met her except on weekends, the purpose of this was originally to not affect her class, but she felt that the class was boring, and many times she would take the opportunity to skip class, and then rely on Hongdou's head......
The red beans can only be speechless about this, and then choose the meeting place at will, no longer just anything, but completely according to the mood of preference, if you want to drink coffee, go to a more well-known café, if you want to eat chicken legs, make an appointment to KFC.
This time, Hongdou somehow suddenly wanted to eat a boat point, so the meeting place became a Soviet-style teahouse, more than ten kilometers away from the school, Zhang Qiuxi took the subway first and then transferred to the bus before arriving.
Because it was working hours, there were not many people in the teahouse at this time, Zhang Qiuxi walked over and said: "Why do you eat snacks at this time, don't women care about weight?" Do you think that eating more snacks can increase milk production? ”
"You want to die once, don't you?" As soon as he talked about the red bean on his chest, he gritted his teeth and said dissatisfiedly: "You are also a woman, don't talk as if you are excluded from this gender, okay." ”
"My soul is male, and my hobbies are female."
I thought so in my heart, but Zhang Qiuxi said: "Because I belong to the type that I don't get fat no matter how I eat, and I am different from most women in this, I am quite surprised that you, a foodie, are not fat, do we all have a special physique?" ”
"I'd rather be blind than let my mouth collapse. It's important to maintain your weight, but it's okay to go to the track and field in the evening when you're at school. Hongdou was jealous of Zhang Qiuxi for a while, and then felt that jealousy was useless, and said lifelessly that he could only maintain his weight in his own way.
Woman, why is this so bothering......
Zhang Qiuxi was speechless, and Hongdou continued: "It's your expression that makes me particularly unhappy, why is there such a big gap between the same women?" ”
"It's not too big, it's at most the distance between two cups ......."
After the sound of the chair moving, Hongdou stood up with a black face, and Zhang Qiuxi had already pushed away the chair and ran out for several meters, Hongdou squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "Come back quickly, I promise not to beat you to death." ”
"Sister Hongdou, I was wrong, let's talk about business, this is my new draft." Zhang Qiuxi hurriedly changed the topic and took out the second short story of "I, the Machine Qì People", but it didn't seem to be useful.
"Sister Hongdou, in fact, you are still developing, and you will definitely grow up in the future. Why don't I have this meal? In addition, I will invite you to dinner, sauna, whatever you like, I will pay for it, how about it? ”
"I'm only twenty-two this year, and of course I'm still developing." After promising a lot of benefits, Hongdou's face finally softened, pulled back the chair and sat down and said, "Bring me the manuscript to read." ”
Her face softened, but in addition to the benefits, how could she feel that the most important thing was that the reason was for this self-deceptive reason?
"Sure enough, it's a story that happened on Mercury." Hongdou glanced at the manuscript, and suddenly said: "One thing must be stated, I am only one size younger than you, and I have an A." ”
"Of course it's a story that happened on Mercury, doesn't Robbie's end have something like a preview, if it's too jumpy, readers will scold their mother." Zhang Qiuxi didn't talk about the European faction anymore, otherwise Hongdou would really go crazy.
At the end of "Robbie", it returns to the interview dialogue in the introduction, Susan Shan's words cast a shadow on this originally successful story, Robbie was finally accepted and returned to the girl's home, but with the continuous development of technology, the machine will become more and more advanced, and the old model of the machine will inevitably face the fate of being eliminated.
---- Dividing Line----
There have been a lot of things in the past two days, and the update is very weak, and it will be fine soon.
