I, ROBOT (ESCAPE) - Post #6

Passage:
"The general manager did so with alacrity, 'Here's the deal now, chief. Consolidated Robots approached us a month ago with a funny sort of proposition. They brought about five tons of figures, equations, all that sort of stuff. It was a problem, see, and they wanted  an answer from The Brain. The terms were as follows-" (Pg.144-145)

Response:
This quote is from the chapter seven of I, ROBOT, and this follows the events in chapter six, which was about one of the company has developed blueprints to build a space ship that could interstellar jump, but while the company's computer was calculating the blueprint, the computer was destroyed. The US robotic take over that problem by using their super computer called "The Brain" to calculate the blueprints, that super computer sent out orders to robots to build the space ship, and the ship successfully built. Powell and Donovan are sent to check out the space ship, and The Brain just sends the ship into space without warning.

Analysis:
In this chapter, Isaac Asimov shows The Brain is the main computer that give out orders to control all of the robots, and he also shows that main computer just goes wrong, it sends the space ship out the space with out warning, and I think the author shows that on purpose which relates to the robots. It might tells the robots do the thing that against the first law which couldn't harm the human.
