Star Shinichi Shonen Sci-Fi: Naughty Robots: The Charm of Science

The society we live in now, whether adults or children, is in fierce competition. Many parents desperately try their best to give their children a good future and enroll their children in various tutoring classes.

Especially in courses such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, parents attach great importance to it. After all, if you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you are not afraid to go all over the world.

But our children seem to be more and more able to brush up on the problem, but gradually lose their imagination. There was once an international survey showing that Chinese children ranked first in the world in computing ability, but their imagination ranked first from the bottom, and their creativity ranked fifth from the bottom.

Our children are getting better at exams, but less and less able to think. What should I do?

I recommend that you take your children to see more interesting science fiction works, such as this set of "Star New One Teenager Science Fiction". Fiction novels are the easiest to get children interested in science, and can subtly save children from the exam-taking education that is difficult to get rid of.

The author, Shinichi Hoshi, is known as the father of Japanese science fiction, which shows his high status in the Japanese science fiction industry. His work "Hey, Come Out! " was once compiled into the middle school people's teaching version of the Chinese textbook. To this day, I still remember how I felt after reading this short story. The author is truly a remarkable person, and the inverted ending explains the evil consequences of people's disrespect for nature, which is thought-provoking.

I was looking at a copy of the book, Naughty Robots. The book consists of 40 short science fiction novels, and the title comes from the first novel in the book. The protagonists of the book involve scientists, ordinary humans, and species in outer space, and each novel has a surprising ending. It will not only make children fall in love with reading, but also arouse children's curiosity and desire and motivation to learn. Moreover, the content is also very positive, advocating truth, goodness and beauty, which can guide children to form correct values.

01 Wisdom triumphs over brute force

There are several novels in the book that describe the story of clever scientists who use their own wisdom to fight bad guys.

For example, in "Prototype", Dr. M insisted on not handing over the prototype of his research, and was locked up in the basement of his house by robbers with guns. The robber thought that the doctor would give in to hunger, but he did not expect that the doctor was getting more and more energetic every day, so the robber had to leave in sorrow. The ending was a surprise: the Doctor's basement contained the edible tables and chairs he had recently researched. No wonder the Doctor is not afraid of robbers at all!

In Stolen Formula, Dr. F's newly developed new drug is stolen by the thief. Because the thief did not know the purpose of the drug, he had to try the medicine by himself. Unexpectedly, just after drinking the drug, the effect of the medicine drove the thief to Dr. F's research institute and confessed to his theft. It turns out that the medicine invented by the doctor is to awaken the conscience, and the bad guy will become a good person after drinking it.

These stories can make children feel the charm of science. We don't have to use brute force to deal with evil forces, and we can also defeat the bad guys by using our wisdom!

02 Action triumphs over dreams

Children should realize from an early age that only down-to-earth efforts can achieve remarkable results.

The stories in the book also teach the child these truths just right.

For example, "The Newly Invented Pillow", the pillow studied by Dr. F, is said to allow people to learn while sleeping, and the knowledge stored in the pillow can be transmitted to the brain during sleep. So his neighbor wanted to use this pillow to help him learn English. Two months later, however, the neighbor still doesn't speak a word of English.

Later, his daughter reported that her father spoke in English back to his dreams while he was sleeping. It turns out that the knowledge learned by neighbors in their sleep can only work in their sleep.

This teaches children that if they want to realize their dreams, they need to take action, make real efforts, and expect success in their sleep without effort, which is unrealistic.

03 Openness triumphs over ignorance

I am born with an end, but there is no end to learning. It is precisely because of this that human beings need to always recognize their limitations and ignorance, maintain an open mind, and constantly learn and innovate. This is also a truth that this book is going to teach children.

"Earthlings" tells a regrettable story. Aliens from developed planets have come to Earth intending to use the power of their own planets to help Earth develop better. However, the people around him regarded him as a neurosis and forcibly took him to the hospital. In the end, the alien is finally brainwashed successfully, begins to accept that he is an ordinary person, and forgets all his past experiences. And the communication equipment he brought with him to contact his own planet was also turned into scrap copper and rotten iron due to his amnesia.

If people are willing to keep an open mind and accept new things, then this alien can give Earthlings a more advanced civilization.

Therefore, ignorance is not terrible, as long as we are willing to learn and actively study, we can definitely break through our own ignorance.

Through one interesting little story after another, this book allows young readers to feel the beauty of science in a subtle way, and can also appreciate the humanistic feelings behind it. After reading this set of books, young readers will definitely become curious, active, kind and sincere, diligent and down-to-earth!
