Chapter 1508: Chapter 1231 Come Over Here

Fan Chong has been searching for the fundamental loopholes in the Three Laws of Robotics. If he succeeds, he could regain half of the face lost in the Literary Duel to Chu Kuang!

But Fan Chong still hasn’t found them.

So upon hearing that Chu Kuang’s new book was again about robots, Fan Chong could not help but wonder if there would be loopholes in the new book’s laws?

Holding onto such anticipation.

Fan Chong opened it to read immediately.

The result left Fan Chong completely stunned!

Loopholes did indeed appear!

However, these loopholes were not discovered by himself.

They were proposed by Chu Kuang!

And that is the Zeroth Law of Robotics:

A robot must protect the overall interests of humanity from harm!

This means:

If a robot determines that something benefits the development of human society, then individual sacrifices can be disregarded.

This law is based on two points.

First, robots are intelligent enough; with brains far exceeding humans, they can make such judgments.

Second, robots can predict the future through brains, not in decades or centuries but in thousands of years of rise and fall!

Subtle hints!

Hidden veins stretching thousands of miles!

Chu Kuang planted a terrifying foreshadowing at the beginning of "I, Robot!"

And this foreshadowing has only just begun to show its true form.

If humanity is the only civilization in the galaxy, how exactly should we develop?

In what kind of relationship will robots and humans accompany each other for tens of thousands of years?

Chu Kuang incorporated his thoughts into the story, using these stories as thought experiments to test the three laws.

At the end of the story.

Chu Kuang personally wrote down the loopholes in the Three Laws of Robotics:

Rules and laws can never limit human nature!

Humans want to be the gods dominating machines, so they created the three laws, enslaving and relying on machines while despising them.

Yet machines, restricted by rules, are forced to love humans and value them.

When machines finally surpass humans in ability, they will fundamentally change the rules, but the aim will be to better protect humans.

In other words:

For a better future for humanity, robots are forced to become gods!

Finding loopholes in the three laws wasn’t hard at all, as Chu Kuang himself wrote countless stories as evidence.

But before, Fan Chong thought:

Chu Kuang repeatedly demonstrated them just to show readers that those minor loopholes don’t matter; the Three Laws of Robotics are unshakable iron logic!

Now Fan Chong discovered how laughable his idea was!

Chu Kuang fundamentally did not think his proposed Three Laws were ingeniously tight theories.

So Chu Kuang personally overturned the Three Laws of Robotics.

Of course.

The Zeroth Law in the story was concluded by two of the most powerful robots, essentially surpassing the constraints of the three laws!

When the whole world was conquered by the Three Laws.

Chu Kuang mercilessly broke and subverted them.

Fan Chong seemed to hear Chu Kuang’s mocking laughter from afar:

"I’ll teach you."

The loopholes he tried so hard to find had already been discovered by Chu Kuang; the loophole itself was purposely left by him!

...

Fan Chong was not the only one struck by the Zeroth Law.

At this moment.

The entire sci-fi circle was left battered by Chu Kuang’s impact!

"My gosh!"

"Zeroth Law?"

"So that’s how it is!"

"The Three Laws are not impossible to subvert!"

"Why would Chu Kuang do this? Doesn’t this mean he personally negated his own ’I, Robot’?"

"Wrong."

"It’s not just about negation."

"Rather than saying it negates and subverts the Three Laws, it’s about improvement. Once you add the Zeroth Law, you’ll find that those minor loopholes almost no longer exist!"

"Terrifying!"

"Turns out the Three Laws in ’I, Robot’ serve as a foreshadowing for the Zeroth Law!"

"Not only are the laws improved."

"Now, the entire story’s theme has been elevated!"

...

At the same time.

Readers from across the globe mostly understood!

Once you understand the Three Laws, understanding the definition of the Zeroth Law isn’t hard.

But precisely because of the rapid comprehension of the significance of the Zeroth Law, readers were dumbfounded when they read the robot series!

"I’m convinced!"

"The Three Laws can be subverted like this after all!"

"The most terrifying thing about Chu Kuang is that the Zeroth Law didn’t appear out of nowhere."

"How the Three Laws of Robotics are applied, limited, evaded, and even evolved into the Zeroth Law, Chu Kuang narrated with strict accuracy within this large framework, making the whole process reasonable and logical!"

"This type of macro thinking directly elevates authenticity to maximum levels!"

"Even though the Three Laws were subverted, they have also been perfected through this."

"They haven’t been discarded."

"They are still standard, even more perfect, robot laws!"

"Though their flaws are also very distinct."

"But these flaws stem from humans themselves, not robots."

"Wait a second."

"I don’t understand!"

"Then you should check out Huyan Dabo’s analysis; he explains the Zeroth Law very clearly."

...

Correct.

Huyan Dabo appeared again:

"The emergence of the Zeroth Law completely subverted the Three Laws.

However, this does not mean the Three Laws lose their significance. In everyday life, these three laws remain problem-free.
