This issue brings you Tom Hanks' latest masterpiece "Fincher" after many years of retreat. The story takes place on Earth hundreds of years later, where humans have ushered in environmental revenge due to over-exploitation of resources. In a solar flare, the ozone layer was destroyed, and the earth was filled with intense ultraviolet radiation and extreme high temperatures, killing all animals and plants almost instantly, and only a few humans survived by chance.
Years later, under the sand, a man in a chemical suit is searching for food in an abandoned city. His name is Fincher and he is one of the survivors of this apocalypse. But even space-grade protective clothing is difficult to protect against this deadly radiation. As well as the high temperature on the surface of more than 60 degrees, he has long been accustomed to corpses all over the ground, and increasingly scarce food is the deadliest thing.
Just like this search, he only found a can of dog food, fortunately, the dog who has been waiting for him at home does not have to starve. The dog is Finch's most important companion, he would rather be exposed to radiation than starve, so the radiation toxins accumulate in his body little by little. Now Fincher's body has gradually withered, and ordinary people have long been unable to withstand it in such an environment, either hanging or crazy, Finch can persist until now is naturally not an ordinary person.
He is a senior engineer who not only designed an artificial intelligence robot dog to accompany him in his search for supplies, he also has a larger plan. Every day he had to select a few books from countless books, slice open the spine of the book page by page scan, and store it in a machine head, which is his new invention - artificial intelligence robot. After countless experiments, the robot finally responded to him, slowly imitating his voice and saying the complete thing.
Finch hadn't spoken to anyone in decades, happy like a 60-year-old. But at this time, the base suddenly lost power, and it seemed that the wind turbine had been affected. Finch went up and had just repaired the generator when he saw a sandstorm not far away that was capable of destroying everything. According to calculations, the sandstorm will stay here for a full 40 days, and the stored food is obviously not enough.
After thinking about not starving here, Finch decided to leave, he quickly helped the robot assemble its body, and then taught him how to walk and turn. Some people say why can't robots walk after uploading so many books? That's because you haven't built a robot, of course, you don't understand it, there's a lot going on. And most of the books Finch chose were about how to care for dogs.
Because the sandstorm came so suddenly, only seventy percent of the book was uploaded. Fortunately, the robot is quite fast, and it doesn't take long to trot up. In this way, the family of four embarked on a journey without looking back.
For this day, Finch had already prepared an RV, and their destination was the Golden Gate Bridge. This has always been a dream of Fincher. An important person once sent him a postcard with the Golden Gate Bridge printed on it. It's ridiculous to say, and the countless trivial things in daily life make him have no time to go. But when the end times came, he instead had the strength to look into the distance, and all the way through, surrounded by barren land. It took hundreds of millions of years for life to be born on this planet, but it took only dozens of days for nature to make the traces of existence here disappear.
How ridiculous it is to say that in the old days, human beings have been proud of conquering nature, who knows that it just quietly watched people laugh. In his 4.6 billion years of life, intelligent beings have come and gone, but no one can always exist, just like day and night, and like prosperity and silence are reincarnations.
The group arrives in a city, and Finch decides to teach the robot some survival skills. As an AI robot, the mind can grow on its own. Finch entered him into the famous Three Laws of Robotics. In addition, he also entered the most important law, that is, to protect dogs, which is even more important than the first three. It seems that dogs have a very special meaning to Fincher.
Finch taught the experience accumulated over the years to the robot, to be vigilant, to learn to be flexible, to have subjective initiative, and to practice step by step with it. They found a cinema. Here the robot saw the mirror for the first time and observed itself for the first time. Although no food was found, Finch found a packet of expired corn kernels. In order to show what nature has done, he put the corn kernels on the lid of the trash can, and the corn kernels burst one by one. This shows how deadly the temperature of the earth's surface is to humans.
The robot saw such an interesting scene for the first time and stomped its foot back and forth excitedly. But it didn't take long for Finch to notice that a majestic sandstorm was sweeping in. He immediately got into the car to move, but the wind was too fast. The car was modified to be very fuel-efficient at a speed of 80 miles so that it could reach their destination. But this speed will not escape the hurricane. Helpless, Finch could only get out of the car and fix the body with an iron anchor, his body was already weak and he had not eaten for a day, and Finch gradually lost his physical strength. Fortunately, the robot understood what Finch was doing. A punch nailed the iron anchor to the ground. After the two hid in the car and fastened their seat belts, the storm swept the entire RV into the sky, but fortunately, the robot lasted with practical force and relied on an iron nail to survive the disaster. It was also this time that the robot's thinking became more mature, and he even named himself Dave. The two shook hands in earnest in the car and welcomed Dave to this world, but it was obviously too early to treat Dave as a full human being.
Early in the morning, Finch was woken up by the sound of a dog barking, it turned out that Dave was trying to analyze the dog's barking and could talk about dog language, apparently he failed, and one person and one dog quarreled without saying a word. Finch reluctantly stopped them and drove on, all the way Finch was teaching Dave all kinds of truths.
First of all, the most important point is trust, in such a post-apocalyptic world, if you do not trust each other, how can you not survive? But Dave rummaged through the information and couldn't understand what trust was. Finch, who has always been talkative, was also speechless for a while, and he was not a good person with people. On this trip, he specifically escaped big cities where there might be other survivors. It is safest to be alone in the last days, either to live alone or to die with suspicion.
