As he reads, Dai Gran follows the traveler's rhythm and gradually learns the general background of the story.
This time, Traveler has set the stage in the distant past, a special period when artificial intelligence has just emerged and matured in Ming Chaoxing.
However, as an alternate fictional time and space, Traveler has added a non-existent "Lawrence Robotics" to the novel. This company has more than the level of technology of the military, and has developed intelligent machines for all aspects of life to sell to the public, and even the military has used things from this company!
At the same time, human beings are afraid that these steel shells that serve themselves will get out of control, so one day, I don't know which smart person in the military had a flash of inspiration and proposed something to limit robots - it is the three laws of robots!
These three laws are interlocking, which can be said to perfectly limit robots, making them completely tools to serve humans.
I don't know how many years have passed, human beings are becoming more and more accustomed to the existence of intelligent machines, and some families even regard the robots at home as a part of the family, and it is such an era that the protagonist "Spooner" who is a police detective appears.
Spner is like a restless time bomb, he is frizzy, and as a person of this era, he doesn't trust robots at all, everything in the house is old-fashioned, and when everyone else is using electronic doors, only he still insists on using the big iron door with a physical lock.
Spooner even suspects that robots can kill, rob, and do everything a human would do. The depth of this suspicion can be seen in a chase between Sputner and a suspicious robot holding a wallet not long after the story begins.
Of course, in the end, it turned out that everything was a misunderstanding on the part of Spooner, and that the robot was just helping its hostess, who was having trouble breathing, go home to get a respirator, for which Spooner was scolded by the hostess.
This distrust of robots has led people around Spner – including his boss and ex-wife – to think he's crazy.
Because now...... There has never been a single case of a robot committing a crime in the world, not a single one, so it's no surprise that the robot-hostile Spner is seen as an outlier by others.
Dai Gran saw that he was still a little puzzled about where this hatred came from, but when he read the following content, he suddenly realized - it turned out that the protagonist had an experience near the ghost gate, he and a little girl had a car accident, fell into the water at the same time, and was trapped in the car and couldn't get out, at this time a robot passed by and saw this scene, so he jumped into the water to save people, but because the hero's survival rate was higher, so he resolutely chose to save him despite his opposition.
In the end, the male protagonist can only watch the poor little girl slowly sink and sink with the car, and finally there is no shadow in sight.
The final ending is that the male protagonist is saved, the little girl dies, and at the same time he also loses his left hand in this disaster, and it is because of this special experience that the male protagonist feels disgusted with the emotionless robot from the bottom of his heart.
"Don't believe in intelligent robots? This protagonist is kind of interesting. A smile finally appeared on the corner of Dai Gran's mouth, and he continued to look down.
The story began to move forward in a cycle, at this time a murder occurred, it was a suicide case, and the deceased was a very famous mechanical expert, the point is that the male protagonist Spooner knew this expert, because it was the other party who replaced the mechanical arm for him who lost his left arm back then.
Spooner sensed that the mechanic's suicide was strange, because something happened at the scene of the incident that he cared about - a reactor specially used for robots, so Spooner, who had always been suspicious of robots, immediately thought that it might be done by robots.
However, Spooner already knew that no one would believe him if he said it, so he just kept the scene he saw in his heart and continued to investigate.
Later, in the course of his investigation, Spooner gets acquainted with an employee of the robotics company, the heroine Susan. Susan receives orders from the chairman to accompany Sputner to investigate the incident.
As the investigation deepens, the hero and heroine discover the robot Sonny hidden here in the laboratory of the mechanical expert. As soon as Sonny appeared, he showed that he was special and different, because he could disobey the orders of humans, and violate the three laws of robotics that people have believed in for so many years!
This is something that humans did not expect at all, they thought that with the three laws, robots would never pose any threat to them, but the appearance of Sonny broke this convention.
Seeing this place, Dai Gran was completely captivated by the tension and suspense created by the whole story, and this feeling was ...... This strong sense of substitution was amazing, something he had never experienced before when he watched Harry Potter and The Matrix!
Dai Gran didn't know what other people were like, in short, he was very picky about the sense of substitution, and when he read those two books, he only felt that he was just watching someone else's story as a bystander, although sometimes he was excited and nervous with the rhythm of the story, but he always felt that something was missing.
But after reading this book "I, Robot", Dai Gran felt that the feeling that he had always felt "almost something" had finally been found...... Reading this book, he seems to have found the excitement and excitement of his first contact with online novels, everything is so new to him, he can't guess what will happen next, so he will look forward to the following plot.
The traveler uploaded nearly 100,000 words in one breath this time, but Dai Gelan didn't feel the passage of time at all, when he subconsciously clicked "read the next chapter" to know that he had seen the last chapter, he still couldn't finish smashing his mouth, and his thoughts finally returned to reality, only to be stunned to realize that it was already dark outside the window, and the colleagues around him had already walked away!
Dai Gran hurriedly glanced at the time, and couldn't help but open his eyes in surprise: "What? It's half past six?! ”
He was completely immersed in the world of the novel just now, and entered a state of self-forgetfulness, suddenly unaware that more than an hour had passed......
100,000 words, this is actually not a lot of words, and it may only take half an hour or even more than ten minutes for others to read it.
But Dai Gran is slow to read, especially this time he is still reading the works of great writers like Travelers, so he naturally has to read them carefully and savor them, but he didn't expect to read them for so long without paying attention, he originally only clicked in with the attitude of trying it out, but ...... But the content in it greatly exceeded his expectations!
Dai Gran refocused his gaze on the screen, his face full of excitement.
This "I, Robot" is really amazing! (To be continued.) )
