Shen Long was surrounded by enthusiastic students, and people kept coming from afar, and even teachers came to talk to Shen Long and invited him to come to the school to give a speech, Shen Long was a little scared, and hurriedly said goodbye, "Fellow students, I'm sorry, I still have to go back to write something, let's talk here today, and come and talk to you next time I have the opportunity." ”

The students didn't want to let Shen Long go, but the teacher was very considerate, "Teacher Sun's time is very precious, don't gather around, the school will communicate with Teacher Sun, and strive to invite him to give a special speech, don't delay Teacher Sun today." ”

Shen Long was very interested in the invitation to give a speech, firstly, Lanxiang was studying here, and it was very useful for Lanxiang to know some teachers, and secondly, he also wanted to talk to the students of this era, if it could bring them some beneficial changes, so that they could take fewer detours and make more achievements, it would naturally be very good.

Squeezed out of the crowd and waved goodbye to the reluctant students, Shen Long left North China University of Technology with Xiaoxia, and as soon as he left, those students hurriedly rushed away with today's harvest, as for whether they wanted to use these unique poems to confess to female classmates.

"I didn't expect you to read so many science books?" Shen Long's performance today surprised Xiaoxia a little, and she asked curiously, "But those things are quite interesting today." Although it is not ideological, it does make her, a liberal arts student, feel the charm of science.

"I read a few books by Verne and became interested in science fiction, and then I found some science fiction by other foreign authors, which touched me deeply." Shen Long made an excuse, "I think the history of our country is too long, which makes many writers look at the past when they create, and few writers can look forward to the future, which is not a good thing, and literary creation should also be combined with the times, and even look forward to the future." ”

"Oh? So you started researching science and thinking about writing science fiction? Like "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" and "Around the World in 80 Days"? I think Verne's curiosity is a bit heavy, and the ideology is still lacking. Xiaoxia frowned slightly, as if she was not too optimistic about Shen Long's plans.

"Science fiction is not always like this, there are many very thoughtful works, I'll find a few for you to see when I go back." Science fiction is not the mainstream in this era, Xiaoxia has not had much contact, and it is normal to have such misunderstandings, in fact, Xiaoxia's views are the mainstream views in the current literary and artistic circles, they do not regard science fiction as a serious literary genre, and their evaluation of science fiction is not high.

"For example, Asimov's works are full of efforts to popularize scientific knowledge while prompting people to consider the connection between human beings and technology, history, and other aspects, and to consider the coordinated development of human beings and society as a whole." Shen Long said slowly, there have been translators who have translated some of Asimov's works into Chinese.

"In I, Robot, Asimov proposes three principles of robots: first: robots must not harm humans, or stand idly by when they see humans being harmed, second: robots must obey human orders, unless this command contradicts the first, and third: robots must protect themselves, unless this protection contradicts the above two."

"It is foreseeable that the progress of science and technology will become more and more rapid in the future, and the progress of science and technology is likely to lead to some problems that human beings do not want, and it is very meaningful that science fiction writers like Asimov can realize some problems in advance and propose solutions."

After the reform and opening up, Ye Yonglie stepped onto the stage of science fiction creation, driven by his success, science fiction has made great progress, and a series of excellent works such as "The Miracle of the World's Highest Peak" and "The Death of Coral Island" have appeared, but science fiction in this period is still dominated by soft science fiction, and there are only a few excellent hard science fiction works such as "Flying to Sagittarius" and "PHS Roaming the Future", and the quality is far from being comparable with Asimov, Heinlein and other works.

"I feel like my mind is getting a little out of your tracks." Xiaoxia took a lot of effort to slightly appreciate the far-reaching significance of the three principles of robots, she couldn't help but sigh, she used to recommend books to Shaoping by herself, but now it has become his recommendation to me, she didn't feel awkward, but appreciated it more and more, the faster he grows, the happier Xiaoxia is.

"When I first came into contact with these works, I experienced a shock that was completely different from that of White Steamer; It is true that even in the United States, where science fiction is prevalent, the prestige of Asimov, Heinlein, Clark and other giants in the literary world cannot be compared with that of traditional writers, but their works also have their own power. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Long smiled, "It's not that I want to completely become a science fiction writer, I just think this literary genre is very interesting, so I want to try it, if I can drive a few more people to start writing science fiction, it would be great." ”

In the future, in China's science fiction industry, there is only Liu Cixin as a world-class writer, Shen Long feels that it is a bit of a pity, and at present, there is still a big gap between the works of Ye Yonglie and others and the world's advanced level, this gap is far greater than the gap between Mo Yan and Jia Pingwa and world-class traditional literary writers.

"Have you ever figured out what you're going to write about your first sci-fi work?" Xiaoxia asked with interest, several of Shen Long's works had impressed her, and she couldn't wait to see the new works.

"You remember, I was a junior high school teacher in Shuangshui Village for a while." Shen Long did not answer directly, "After the school was canceled, I also went home to become a farmer, as far as I know, there are many such situations in the entire Yuanxi County, the entire Huangyuan and even the whole country, which is not a good thing, and now it is becoming more and more difficult for rural children to study." ”

"So you're going to write a science fiction from that perspective? However, this angle seems to be far from science fiction, right? Xiaoxia thinks that the words rural school and science fiction are simply incompatible, how can they be mixed together?

"Science fiction isn't all what you think it is, and you'll understand when I write it." Shen Long smiled, "By the way, the name of this work is "Country Teacher". ”
