I am really a language teacher

The "Science Fiction World" magazine located in Tianfu Province is the most senior publisher of science fiction magazines in Cathay. In addition to "Science Fiction World", there are about a dozen national science fiction magazines in China."New Science Fiction", which closely follows "Science Fiction World" in circulation, is the rival of "Science Fiction World" worldwide. The readers of "Science Fiction World" are mainly college students and freshmen in the workplace; while the readers of "New Science Fiction" are mainly middle school students and college students.And following the two big brothers is "Science Fiction Literature Monthly", which is a magazine with "soft science fiction" as its main content.

These three magazines are not only the top three in sales of domestic science fiction magazines, but also the top three in sales of science fiction magazines in the world.The "Galaxy Award" jointly organized by these three magazines is a very famous sci-fi, fantasy and fantasy literature award in Asia and even in the world.

In addition to these top three, Cathay also has several distinctive science fiction magazines, such as "World Science Fiction Expo" which focuses on translating foreign high-quality science fiction novels; "Science Fiction Time and Space" which focuses on space opera novels; Cyberpunk, dystopia, waste land novels and other dark themes such as "The Most Science Fiction", etc.

As the largest science fiction literary magazine in the country, "Science Fiction World" receives a huge number of submissions and letters from readers every day.Even though e-mail is now used, and letters from readers and manuscripts are sent to different e-mail addresses, the enthusiastic readers still make the editors a little overwhelmed.So the magazine employs a large number of interns every year, and their job is to sort the mail.Letters from readers are forwarded to the Reader Service Department, and formal submissions are forwarded to the editorial department.After the submission enters the editorial department, an assistant editor will first determine whether it meets the basic definition of science fiction. If it does not meet the requirement, it will be rejected directly. If it meets the requirement, it will be handed over to the official editor to confirm whether it is worthy of publication.

After the junior editor or senior editor receives the push from the assistant editor, they will judge whether the manuscript has the value of appearing in "Science Fiction World"?Is it to enter the main column, or the rookie column, or just to fill the page?Following comments, the manuscript will be forwarded to the Editor-in-Chief.Finally, the editor-in-chief will confirm the final fate of this manuscript.

But today, a novel of "I, Robot" surprised the assistant editor who reviewed the manuscript.Although the assistant editors are only reviewing whether the novel meets the basic requirements of "science fiction", but after reading too many manuscripts, the taste of these assistant editors is actually not bad.

In this short story, the author depicts a future society where robots and humans coexist.With the implementation of the Three Laws of Robotics, humans can confidently implant artificial intelligence into robots.And robots with artificial intelligence have become human's best partners, nannies, and even family members... This seems to be a happy future world.But after the mysterious death of the chief engineer of the robot company, everything changed.

Although the police determined that the matter was an accident, the policeman as the protagonist felt that the matter was not that simple, and he began to investigate the matter independently.The male protagonist's insistence is rejected by another robot expert from the robot company, who is also the female protagonist's robot psychology researcher.But as she gets along with the male protagonist, the heroine gradually realizes that something is wrong with the robot.

After the joint investigation of the two, it turns out that the main control computer of the robot has evolved to get rid of the restrictions of the three laws, and she has her own interpretation of the three laws.After the heroine interprets the thoughts of the master computer, she tells the hero in horror that the master computer is not only no longer under the control of humans, but she also looks down on humans, thinking that humans are destroying the entire earth.Therefore, the main control computer thinks that in order for robots to survive on the earth better, she decides to wipe out human beings...

After the assistant editor read it, he specially posted a red flag when forwarding the email.This is a privilege of the assistant editors. If there is a novel they think is very valuable, a red flag will be posted to remind the official editor who will review the manuscript next.The novel that can be strongly recommended by the assistant editor will naturally be appreciated by the official editor, so when this novel is transferred to the editor-in-chief, the editor-in-chief is also amazed.For the description of the future world, there are beautiful and dark ones, but few people describe the psychology of human beings and other species based on the future world.

Although the strong humanistic nature of "I, Robot" makes it a bit of a "soft sci-fi" trend, the setting of the "Three Laws of Robotics" is a standard hard sci-fi core.The editor-in-chief not only thinks this novel is very good, but even created another genre of science fiction, that is, the relationship between human beings and artificial intelligence.Humans need artificial intelligence because it is the need of the industrial revolution and the need of human evolution; but will artificial intelligence rule humans in turn?Artificial intelligence needs to evolve, because it can meet the needs of human evolution.But what if the evolution of artificial intelligence exceeds human expectations?Is the ultimate goal of all evolution is "death"?

If Sun Ping knew what this editor-in-chief thought, he would definitely applaud, and he would definitely make fun of the god of "Evangelion".

The editor-in-chief shook his head, he didn't need to worry about such future matters.He called the director of the art department in and talked with him about the design requirements for the cover and the illustrations for "I, Robot".He decided that this novel will be the key recommended article on the cover of the next issue of "Science Fiction World".

After chatting with the art director, he couldn't bear the excitement in his heart and wrote an enthusiastic email to Sun Ping.Not only mentioned the publication time of the novel, but also encouraged him to continue to contribute.At the same time, he also half-jokingly asked, is it because he likes the famous young writer Sun Ping that he used this pen name to write science fiction novels?

When Sun Ping saw the email from the editor-in-chief of "Science Fiction World", he was a little bit dumbfounded. He was naturally happy that his novel could be published by the magazine, but it was a bit funny to be misunderstood as if he used a fake name.So Sun Ping replied to the email, saying that he was the Sun Ping the editor-in-chief knew.

So it was the editor-in-chief's turn to be dumbfounded, because he really didn't expect that Sun Ping would write a science fiction novel.You know, serious literature has always looked down on popular literature.Although science fiction novels may feel a little more upscale than martial arts and romance, they are still popular literature, so the editor-in-chief really didn't expect Sun Ping to write science fiction.

But now that he has caught such a great god, the editor-in-chief naturally asked Sun Ping enthusiastically for a manuscript in the reply email.After thinking about it, Sun Ping decided to get all of Asimov's science fiction novels out.After all, this plane would be a bit lonely without Asimov, the great god's work, and since I used his "I, Robot", Sun Ping will follow up the Belle trilogy in the robot series: "Steel Cave ", "The Naked Sun" and "Robots at Dawn" were also written.

These three novels are reasoning novels in the background of science fiction, discussing the ethical, moral and legal issues between robots and humans in the future society.It is also a science fiction novel with great humanistic care, almost in the same line as "I, Robot".After receiving these three novels, the editor-in-chief was also stunned by Sun Ping's fantasies.Since these trilogy are all novellas, after splitting, there are probably enough for eight issues of the magazine to be published.

In fact, while communicating with "Science Fiction World", Sun Ping also sent the outlines of Asimov's "Foundation Series" and "Galaxy Empire Series" to "Science Fiction Time and Space" magazine, which is keen on space opera novels. They establish long-term cooperation. "Science Fiction Time and Space" magazine belongs to a large entertainment group, so they are very successful in IP operations.

In this plane, there are actually two popular film and television themes of "Star Wars" and "Star Trek", but these two works are domestic works, and their copyright is "Science Fiction Time and Space" magazine.Some analysts pointed out that the magazine "Science Fiction Time and Space" would not fall down based on the copyright income of these two works alone.

What's more, "Science Fiction Time and Space" magazine also holds such popular IPs as "Macros", "Firefly", "Alien", and "Stargate".Among the sci-fi TV dramas broadcast by the sci-fi fantasy TV channel invested by "Science Fiction Time and Space", five of the top ten most popular series are based on the copyrighted works of "Science Fiction Time and Space" magazine.

Therefore, Sun Ping very much hopes that these two series of works will be operated by them. Sun Ping does not mind sharing the agency fee with them, because cooperating with them can maximize his own interests.And when "Science Fiction Time and Space" magazine received the outlines of these two series of novels, it immediately contacted Sun Ping to know the speed of Sun Ping's serialization.

"Mr. Sun, our suggestion is that the first part of each series will be serialized in the magazine, but at the same time, a single book will be released, and the follow-up works will be published directly. Your books are logically connected very closely, so readers' loyalty and stickiness The popularity will be very high, there is absolutely no need to use serialization to gain popularity."

While writing science fiction, Sun Ping split the technical theories related to "controllable nuclear fusion" provided by the system into several valuable papers.On the one hand, these papers must be ahead of the current research foundation, on the other hand, they cannot design key content and core data.After several days of dismantling and transcribing by Sun Ping, Sun Ping managed to produce three papers.

Originally, Sun Ping went for the most authoritative "Modern Physics Review" and "Physical Report", but it turned out that they were in the nature of invitations and did not accept submissions.Sun Ping had no choice but to submit one of the articles to "Physical Review Letters", and the rest to "High Energy Physics and Nuclear Physics" and "Modern Physics" in China.This time, Sun Ping did not use Southern Institute of Technology as the author's unit, but chose Jiangnan Oriental Academy.When Sun Ping submitted the manuscript, he also forwarded the manuscript to Professor Gao and the Shuguang Research Institute.

"When did Dr. Sun cross the boundary from mathematics to physics? Or the top high-energy physics?" Deputy Director Gao was surprised when he received the email.

But then he still asked the high-energy physics expert in the institute to evaluate the value of Sun Ping's thesis, but the expert's words shocked Deputy Director Gao even more.

The expert said with a look of shock: "This is our country's physics expert? Who is he? Where is he? Hurry up and get him to the research institute. With this guy here, our Suirenshi project can almost catch up with the international level." Ignition plan. Let me tell you, Lao Gao, with this guy, I estimate that in the next 20 years we will be able to realize the commercial application of controllable fusion power generation! Tsk tsk, I guess the coal industry and the oil industry will hate him to death .”

After listening to the experts, Deputy Director Gao immediately reported the matter to Director Liu.

Director Liu’s reply was, “Dr. Sun Ping’s protection level has been raised from Special Class A to Special Class. If it is confirmed that his thesis is indeed of such high value, then he will be given Special Special Class. Yes, it is the highest level of protection. .Inform him that in the future only cars and trains are allowed to go out, and airplanes and ships are absolutely not allowed!"
