[May you continue to walk with me (long article, including spoilers)......]
(ps: It's longer, there are spoilers at the end, and there are a lot of heartfelt words, I hope you can finish reading this article, and if you have any feelings, you can leave a message in the book review area, and the stone will check it.) Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info)
During the National Day, first of all, I wish you all a happy children's shoes holiday!
This book from March to today, has been almost 7 months, thank you for more than 200 days and nights of companionship, in these 200 days, some friends left in the middle, some came from the middle, and some still stayed with the stone, here I am especially grateful to the friends who are still chasing and supporting the stone.
Stone has been thinking about a question and wants to know this question, that is, how will people feel when they read this book? Ignoring the plot in the article, how do you feel when you look at the future technology described in the article? When you read the first million words of this book, what do you think about the future of our world? Do you think and believe that the technology of the future, the technology of the near future, etc., can be witnessed in our lifetime?
If everyone 'agrees', Stone will be very happy, because Stone also thinks that many of the technologies in the article will soon become a reality, although the text is slightly exaggerated.
It is worth mentioning that this book is still a little different from most of the online texts, judging from similar books, it is not a kind of rebirth through the text of the so-called 'prophet' advantage of knowing the future to create cool points, and similarly, this book is not based on upgrading and stepping on people, the villain jumps out and is forced to be slapped in the face by the protagonist, such a systematization and routine to create cool points.
To be reasonable, the old bookworm must be able to see that if this book is written here according to the routine and systematic framework, each technology should be pretended to be a wave of force, and then flirt, accept a few lovers, and by the way, hit a wave of 'I don't know the height of the sky' The face of the second ancestor or something, so it is normal to write at least 3.5 million words or more.
But "Tech Giants" is now less than 1.3 million words!
In fact, the idea of writing this book is very clear, that is, through the story and the protagonist, from the perspective of "Ren Hong", to show you the future of our world, and what life is like under the future technology (if you want to say cool, it should be this), with Shishi's personal understanding of our future world, lead everyone into the fantasy world of the near future, and show you what the future world is like in Shishi's mind, just want to do this.
Virtual reality VR, mixed reality MR, augmented reality AR, artificial intelligence AI, etc., these are all hot topics in our current world, and the hottest frontier fields of science and technology are not new.
And the reason why this book is a bit special, there is another reason, that is, it is as relevant as possible to show the existence of the affairs, such as the AIDA agency mentioned above, which you may not be familiar with, but actually exists in the real world, and was established in 2015.
Microsoft is also working on DNA molecular data storage hard drives, of course, there is no finished product yet, and Microsoft has successfully commercialized it in this article.
D-Wave is indeed engaged in quantum computers again, it is a Canadian company, the headquarters is indeed in Burnaby, and there is a finished product, and the bald Bezos, the founder of Amazon, has indeed invested heavily.
There is also a technology company called "Kunedg" that is indeed working on chips that mimic the workings of the brain, and it will be shipped by the end of this year or early next year, and IBM is also investing in it on a large scale.
Alphabet, also known as the former Google company, does have a moon landing program, known as the "XPRIZE" moon landing program. Stone here has no intention of praising any company, but for the fact that alphabet is now an American company, regardless of national borders, commercial interests, and conflicts, alphabet's achievements deserve 32 praises silently. Larry. Page said that alphabet wants to change the world, at least in the future to change the world. Page and Sergey. Brin was visionary to spin off the traditional Google business and reorganize into the new Alphabet and take the helm of the company.
Alphabet is currently the second most valuable company in the world, and the first is Apple, which has twice won the first place.
Stone also hopes that more companies similar to Alphabet or the above will emerge in China. In fact, we are also proud, there is the well-known 'Huawei' on the surface, it is the world's top in the field of communications, the Americans' strict defense against Huawei's 'invasion' is a proof of its strength, and there is also the 'Ali' in full swing of globalization, we watch it change China to change the world. There are also eye-catching '**********'.
In fact, our country's scientists and our country's achievements in promoting human scientific and technological progress are very many, not to mention the older generation of pioneers, our scholars in recent time have also made remarkable achievements, but we may not pay much attention to it, if you like to read scientific journals such as "Nature" students will find that many recent periods of some eye-catching scientific achievements are made by scholars in our country, interested students can learn more about it, not much to say here.
There are huge differences between the cultures of the East and the West in all aspects, and from the bright side, everyone seems to only see that the West has created new technologies or something, perhaps, the West is better at spreading and commercializing, after all, they have advantages in this regard. But in fact, the gap between East and West is getting smaller and smaller, and don't forget what we started with? What is the beginning of the West? We lost at the starting line, but the real decision is still the end, we may not be the winners, but we will not be the losers.
Let's just say the 'International Space Station', which will be announced to be retired around 2020, and our 'Tianzhou' will be completed around 2020, if there is not too much unexpected news, after the 'International Space Station' is decommissioned, 'Tianzhou' will become the only space station for human beings operating in orbit. Not long ago, the launch of the Tiangong-2 space laboratory is a great gift for this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, and we are proud of it.
Pull away and return to the original topic. In fact, having said all this, the stone just wants to show everyone the future world in mind.
Returning to the story itself, the core theme of "Tech Giants", it shows everyone that in the world of the near future, technology changes life, and everything is to show the well-being of technology to human beings.
But where there is light, there is shadow, and everything has two sides, so technology can not only bring benefits, but also disasters, and angels and demons have always been symbiotic.
So, the theme of the sequel to Tech Big will be the negative side of technology.
Regarding the sequel, there are many characters in the sequel story, including the transformation of the male protagonist of the book from a technological leader to a human leader who saves the world, etc., Stone also knows that "Tech Giant" is thin in character portrayal, on the one hand, it is a foundation, and on the other hand, it is also deliberate by Stone, because the real protagonist of "Tech Giant" is a future technology, just like the protagonist of "Transformers" is a robot, and the protagonist of "Jurassic Park" is a dinosaur.
But there will be more character portrayals in the sequel, such as the important role of "Leah" has spent a lot of pen and ink to portray, maybe the stone portrays the character of "Leah" too much, so some students want the male protagonist to accept it, otherwise it will be too heartbroken. There are also chimpanzees such as "Kaobo", who is getting more and more intelligent, and "White Birch", who has a slight mention of a sense of justice, a character that everyone may have overlooked.
They are all important players.
All of the above, both mentioned and unrevealed, are important in the sequel.
Regarding the next two or three sequels, Stone put too much effort into it and revised it many times. I have been thinking about how to show everyone a real and illusory fantasy world, a grand and magnificent world and story.
Obviously, if a trilogy revolves around a character, it is a biography of a character's life, and the worldview and framework portrayed in that way seem too pale and monotonous.
Stone loves Da Liu's "Once Upon a Time on Earth" trilogy, that is, "The Three-Body Problem", and also likes foreign works such as "The Divergent" and "The Lord of the Rings", which have physical books, and Stone is obsessed with the huge world structure and wonderful storyline of those fantasy or science fiction stories.
Of course, don't get me wrong here, the stone must be self-aware, and I dare not compare it with these "real big touches", and I never dare to think that I can write this kind of work in the online text, after all, the online text, but it does not hinder the yearning of the stone.
It is not enough to take "Da Liu" as a goal, but the stone has found a goal that still seems difficult but hopeful, although it is still a little far, but at least everyone is the author of the online article, that is, the author of "Rainbow Gate", I think many students know the "Rainbow Gate" of "Earth Era", this is a rare excellent science fiction work on the starting point network, interested students can go and see.
In addition to "Earth Era", Stone also recommends another book, that is, "The Great Universe Era", a work that creates infinite genres, "The Great Universe Era", which is a rare unique science fiction work under the mainstream of "time and space travel" and "loss of doomsday flow" on the starting point network. Although the two works are not finished, it is still recommended that students who have not seen it try it out.
Having said so many of these topics, Stone just wants to show you a story that is different from the mainstream, just like a post that Stone has been pinned to the top of the comment area, a post made by id:messfield, one of his words impressed Stone, and it is also the biggest reason why Stone is at the top, that is: "The future world in science fiction should be full of" The Enterprise has activated the curvature engine for hundreds of millions of light years, and it should be artificial intelligence leading the army of intelligent machines to ruthlessly set off the bloody and helpless conquest of the earth. Instead of playing the apocalyptic game with the so-called system and the main god, it is not to fight to the death with loss in the apocalypse......"
This passage made Shi's heart shake slightly, and it was almost to the heart, and a deep resonance arose.
A concise passage that expresses the theme of the last two parts of the stone, here, the stone is not afraid of spoilers, and the students who continue to support the stone after this must be the hardcore, undoubtedly the strongest backing; Second, I am also confident, and everyone will never guess the specific plot of the sequel. The specific title of the second part will not be disclosed for the time being (I cried when I was spoofed by the classmates who were squatted and mischievous).
The second part of the follow-up story,It is not the Resident Evil and zombies that subvert the human world,But the "Intelligence Crisis" or "Intelligence Crisis",The second part of the story will start with"Intelligence Crisis",At the peak of human civilization,Order fell apart,As for the specifics,Stay tuned......
On the topic of "artificial intelligence", whether it is the scientific giant Stephen Hawking, or the technology giant Elon. Musk, Bill. Gates, they all expressed concern about artificial intelligence AI, and their concern is not just that the general public perception that artificial intelligence is unwilling to be "enslaved" after obtaining emotional logic and launching an uprising, these "gods" describe it as even more terrifying.
The stone is in a reverie, perhaps, if there is a "third world war" in this world, the two sides will be human and intelligent machines, not the previous World War I and World War II.
Stone may be overstretched, but he still tries his best to show everyone a story full of epic charm, obviously, such a story cannot have only one character, it is a fantasy biography. The epic story of World of Warcraft is not that one Lich King, not one Illidan, one Medivan, and one Karazhan can become an epic, but they all forge that obsessive epic chapter together.
Stone knows his own pounds, never thought of writing the above shocking stories, but will do his best, but also give the stone a lot of inspiration and reference, "Ren Hong" so can not be the protagonist of the sequel, although he is an important role in the sequel, but because he does not belong to that era, the era that belongs to him is a symbol of the prosperity before the birth of the human crisis, he has become the embodiment of the legend in the world of order and collapse in the sequel, and is a pioneer and leader admired by future generations.
"Ren Hong" will definitely continue to the second part, but someone must relay it to continue the story and become another legend that will be praised by future generations in the times......
Stone believes that in the world under the collapse, "Mo Lin" is the symbol of that era, this is the complete world in Shi's mind, an illusory and real world, and the sequel should not be a biographical story that revolves around one person.
This is also why "Ren Hong" is positioned as a genius, rather than with a system or the main god, if this setting is unreasonable and too taken for granted, then is it reasonable to bring a "system" and "main god"? In the eyes of the stone, this is the greatest irrationality.
When I returned, I saw that I had already nagged more than 3,000 words, so let's end here.
It is impossible for any story to be liked by everyone, and if you see the readers and friends here, you like or look forward to the story described above, the stone must be very happy, all this is worth it, and every word that is typed out has value.
As the post of the classmate "Messfield" said, the real science fiction is niche and helpless, and it needs to be difficult to move forward in this starting point network or science fiction network that is overflowing with "upgrading treasure hunting and fighting zombies, and time and space travel infinite flow" as the mainstream.
Readers and friends who see this, if you also like the story written by the stone, please support me, this is the hobby of the stone, but also the work, but also the only source of income, but the stone does not want to take it as a job, work means income as the core, the best way to maximize benefits is to follow the crowd. Stone has been in the online literature circle for three years, and he can be regarded as an "old oilman", and he knows that the risk of following the crowd is relatively minimal, but that is not because Stone wants to show everyone the world in his mind.
But here's a paradox, now everyone's genuine support and paid subscriptions are the only source of income for Stone. If you don't have everyone's genuine support, to the point where you can't afford to eat, you can only compromise with reality, and you have to survive to starve to death.
So, if you really like it, come to the starting point to send a paid subscription support, and the subscription fee spent on the monthly update is only one breakfast money.
Finally, I would like to thank more than 200 readers and friends who have been with the stone day and night, it is because of your support that we will come to this day, and we will have the motivation to continue walking. Science fiction is a niche, and it needs your support more, so if the friends over there see this, if you can hope to be able to come to the starting point network to subscribe, you who are supporting the starting point network and the creation of the world are currently the only few people who are walking with me.
I hope you can continue to accompany me, in addition to this trilogy, there are more stories in the heart of the stone I want to write, and the stone will do its best to show a different world and stories for the readers and friends who support me.
Thanks again!
