Technology Bigshot: 【May all of you continue to accompany me (long story, including spoilers)…】
(ps: The length is longer, there are spoilers at the end, and there are also a lot of inner thoughts. I hope you can read this article and leave a message in the book review area if you have any thoughts. Stone will check it.)
During the National Day, first of all I wish you a happy holiday!
It has been almost 7 months since the beginning of this book in March. Thank you for your company of more than 200 days and nights. During these 200 days, some friends left in the middle, and some came in the middle. There are also people who still stay and walk with the stone. I am especially grateful to the friends who are still watching and supporting the stone.
Stone has been thinking about a question, and also wants to know this question, that is, how do you feel when you read this book? Ignoring the plot in the text, how do you feel when you read the future technology described in the text? 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', Shitou is also very happy, because Shitou also feels that many of the technologies in the article will soon become a reality, although the expression in the article is slightly exaggerated.
It is worth mentioning that this book is somewhat different from most of the web articles. Judging from similar books, it is not a kind of rebirth and travel through articles that use the advantage of the so-called 'prophet' who knows the future to create fun Point, in the same way, this book is not systematically stepping on people with upgrades, the villain jumps out and then the protagonist pretends to force him to slap in the face. Such a systemization and routine are mainly used to create cool points.
To be reasonable, old bookworms can definitely see that if this book is written here according to a routine and a systematic framework, every technology needs to be forced, and then flirt with a few lovers. By the way, it is normal to slap the face of the second generation ancestor who is 'I don't know how high the sky is', and it is normal to write at least 3.5 million words in this way.
But "Tech Giants" now has less than 1.3 million words!
Actually, Stone's idea for 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 will be like under the technology of the future ( If you want to say something cool, it should be this), based on Shitou's personal understanding of our future world, lead everyone into the fantasy world of the near future, and show everyone what the future world in Shiroi's mind looks like, just want to do it at this point.
Virtual reality vr, mixed reality mr, augmented reality ar, artificial intelligence ai, etc., these are the hot topics in our world today, the hottest frontier fields of technology, and nothing new.
And the reason why this book is a bit special, there is another reason, that is, it is as close as possible to the affairs that show the existence, such as the aida organization written above, you may not be familiar with it, but it actually exists in the real world , established in 2015.
Microsoft is indeed researching DNA molecular data storage hard disks, of course, there is no finished product yet, in the article Microsoft has successfully commercialized it.
d-ave is indeed engaged in quantum computers again. It is a Canadian company with its headquarters in Burnaby, and it has finished products. Amazon's founder, bald Bezos, has indeed invested heavily.
There is also a technology company called "Pants nedg" that is indeed working on a chip that mimics the working principle of the brain, and it will be shipped from the end of this year to the beginning of next year, and ibm is also investing on a large scale.
The company, formerly Google, does have a moonshot plan, the "p day ze" moonshot plan. Stone here unintentionally praises any company, but for a company that is now an American, it is worthy of silently sending 32 praises for the achievement of putting aside national borders, putting aside business interests, and not talking about conflicts. Larry Page said that the company hopes to change the world, and at least there will be companies in the torrent that will change the world in the future. Larry Page and Sergey Brin separated from the traditional google business and reorganized into a new and running the company is indeed visionary.
Currently the second largest in the world in terms of market value, the first is Apple, which has twice won the first place.
Stone also looks forward to the emergence of more companies similar to or above in China. In fact, we are also proud. On the bright side, there is the well-known 'Huawei', which is the world's top in the field of communication. The Americans' strict defense against Huawei's 'invasion' is a strong proof of its strength. There is also 'Ali', which is in full swing with globalization , we watched it go from changing China to changing the world. There is also the astonishing '**********'.
In fact, our country's scientists and our country's achievements in promoting the progress of human science and technology are very many, not to mention the pioneers of the older generation, our scholars in recent times have also achieved world-renowned achievements, only However, you may not pay much attention to it. If you like to read scientific journals such as "Nature", you will find that many of the most eye-catching scientific achievements in recent times have been obtained by scholars in our country. Interested students can learn more about it. , not much to say here.
There are huge differences between Eastern and Western cultures in all aspects. On the bright side, everyone seems to only see that the West has created new technologies or something. Perhaps, the West is better at dissemination and commercialization. After all, they have advantage in this regard. But in fact, the gap between East and West is getting smaller and smaller, don't forget where we started? Where did the West start? We lost at the starting line, but the real decision depends on the finish line. We may not be the ultimate winner, but we will not be the loser either.
Let's say 'International Space Station', it will be announced to retire around 2020, and our 'Tianzhou' will be completed around 2020. If there is not too much unexpected news, after the 'International Space Station' is retired, the 'Tianzhou' will be completed. 'It will be the only space station in orbit for humans. The launch of the Tiangong-2 space laboratory not long ago is a great gift for this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, and we are proud of it.
Let's go back to the original topic. In fact, having said so much, Stone just wants to show everyone the future world in his mind.
Returning to the story itself, the core theme of "Tech Giants", it shows everyone that in our near future world, 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 blessings, but also bring disasters. Angels and demons have always been symbiotic.
So, the theme of the Big Tech sequel will be the negative side of technology.
About the sequel, there are many characters in the sequel story, including the transformation of the male protagonist of the book from a technology leader to a human leader who saves the world, etc. Stone also knows that "Tech Giant" is thin in character characterization. It is the foundation, and on the other hand, it is also deliberately done 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. reason.
But there will be more characterizations in the sequel. For example, the important character "Liya" has spent a lot of ink and ink to describe the character. Perhaps it is because the stone portrayed the character "Liya" too badly, so some students I want the male protagonist to accept it, otherwise it will be too heart-wrenching. Others include "Kobo", a chimpanzee with increasing intelligence, and "White Birch" who has a sense of justice that has been mentioned slightly. This role may have been ignored by everyone.
They are all important characters.
These currently mentioned and undisclosed characters are important in the sequel.
Stone put too much effort into the next two or three sequels 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 one character, it is a biography of a character's life, and the worldview and framework described in that way are too pale and too monotonous.
Stone is very fond of Da Liu's "Once upon Earth" trilogy, namely "Three-Body Problem", and also likes foreign works such as "Divergent" and "The Lord of the Rings". Those fantasy or sci-fi stories have huge world structures and great storylines.
Of course, don't misunderstand here, Shitou must be self-aware, and dare not compare with these "really big touches", and never dare to think that such works can be written in web articles, after all, web articles, but Does not hinder the yearning of the stone.
Taking "Da Liu" as a target is beyond self-control, but Shitou has found a goal that is still difficult but promising. Although it is still a little far away, at least everyone is an author of online articles, that is, "The Rainbow" The author of "Gate", many students who come here will know that "Era of the Earth" by "Rainbow Gate" is a rare and excellent sci-fi work on Qidian.com. Interested students can go and see it.
In addition to "Era of the Earth", Stone also recommends another book, which is the "Z-big" work "The Age of the Universe" that creates infinite genres. "A rare and unique sci-fi work under the rampant mainstream. Although the two works are not finished, I still recommend students who have not seen them to try them out.
After talking about so many topics, Shitou just wants to show you a story that is different from the mainstream, just like a post in the comment area Shitou has been on top, a post by id: mes private eld, One of his words impressed the stone, and it is also the biggest reason for the stone's top, namely: "The future world in science fiction should be filled with the heroic 'Enterprise' that activated the curvature engine and escaped hundreds of millions of light-years, and it should be artificial intelligence. Leading the omnic legion to ruthlessly set off the **** and helpless conquest of the earth. Instead of playing apocalyptic games with the so-called system and the main god, not fighting to the death or death with loss in the apocalypse..."
These words made Shishi's heart tremble slightly, and it almost went to the heart, and a deep resonance occurred spontaneously.
Simple and comprehensive passages show the theme of the second two parts of the stone. Here, the stone is not afraid of spoilers. The students who continue to support the stone after seeing here must be hardcore, and undoubtedly the strongest backing ; Second, there is confidence that no one can guess the specific plot of the sequel. The specific title of the second book will not be disclosed for the time being (the classmates who were squatting and pranking made them cry).
In the second part of the follow-up story, it is not the Resident Evil and the zombies that will subvert the human world, but the "Intelligence Crisis" or "Omnic Crisis". When human civilization was at its peak, the order fell apart. As for the specifics, please look forward to...
On the topic of "artificial intelligence", whether it is science giant Stephen Hawking, or technology giants Elon Musk, Bill Gates, they all express concerns about artificial intelligence AI, and their concerns are not only It is the general public perception that artificial intelligence does not want to be "slaved" after obtaining emotional logic, and it is so simple to start an uprising, and the descriptions of these "great gods" are even more frightening.
Stone is thinking, perhaps, if there is a "third world war" in this world, the two sides will be humans and omnics, not the previous World War I and World War II.
Stone may seem to be lacking in ability, 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 biography of a character under fantasy. "World of Warcraft" epic story, not a Lich King, not an Illidan, a Medivh, a Karazhan can become epic, but they together forged that fascinating epic chapter.
Stone knows his weight and never thought of writing the above shocking stories, but he will try his best and give him a lot of inspiration and reference. Therefore, "Ren Hong" cannot be the protagonist of the sequel. , although he is an important character 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 incarnation of legend in the sequel's order and collapsed world, He is a pioneer and leader admired by future generations.
"Ren Hong" will definitely continue to the second part, but someone must relay, continue to carry the story down, and become another legend passed down by future generations in the era...
Stone believes that in the world under the collapse, "Mo Lin" is the symbol of that era. This is the complete world in Stone's mind, a world that is illusory and as real as possible. The sequel should not revolve around A biographical story of a man turned.
This is also why "Ren Hong" is positioned as a genius, rather than with a system or a main god. If this setting is unreasonable and taken for granted, then is it reasonable to bring a "system" and a "main god"? In Stone's view, this is the biggest irrationality.
Looking back, I've already babbled more than 3,000 words, so let's end here.
Any story can't be liked by everyone. If you see the readers and friends here, you like or look forward to the stories described above, the stone must be very happy, it's all worth it, typing out a word A sentence has value.
As the classmate "mes eld" said in the post, the real sci-fi is niche and helpless. Difficulty moving forward in Qidian Network or Science Fiction Network.
Seeing the readers and friends here, if you also like the stories written by Stone, please support me. This is Stone's hobby, work, and the only source of income, but Stone doesn't want to regard it as work. Work means With income as the core, the best way to maximize profits is to follow the crowd. It has been three years since Shitou entered the online literature circle, and he is considered an "old oiler". He knows that the risk of following the crowd is relatively minimal, but that is not what Shitou wants to show everyone the world in his mind.
But there is a contradiction here. Now everyone's genuine support and paid subscriptions are Stone's only source of income. If there is no genuine support from everyone, to the point where you can't even afford to eat, you can only compromise with reality, and you have to keep going even if you say that you will die of starvation. Writing stories is all about me. It's too fake, and no one will believe it.
So, if you really like it, come to Qidian.com to send a paid subscription support, and the subscription fee for each monthly update is just one breakfast.
Finally, I would like to thank the more than 200 readers and friends who have accompanied the stone day and night. It is because of your support that we have come to this day, and have the motivation and continue to move forward. Science fiction is a niche, and needs your support more, so if the friends from Chuangshi see here, if you can hope to be able to subscribe to the original version of Qidian.com, you are the only ones who are supported by Qidian.com and Chuangshi. One of the few people with a little poke in my walk.
I hope you can continue to accompany me. In addition to this trilogy, there are more stories in Stone's heart that I want to write.
Thanks again!
