"It's a little spiritual, but it's not good!"

As soon as Lu Mingyi's voice fell, Tang Shuang was surprised for a moment, and then watched from the wall.

Because Lu Mingyi's words were not for him, but for Ding Ji next to him.

Tang Shuang couldn't understand, chatting with him, why did he suddenly turn to Ding Ji.

Is this an expectation of him, or is there nothing to say, so just don't say it?

I'm afraid the latter is the majority.

What a weird old man.

On the way here, Wei Daqun introduced Lu Mingyi's preferences and temper to Tang Shuang, in one word, strange.

Tang Shuang looked at Wei Daqun, saw him shake his head, pursed his lips, and nodded understandingly.

Wei Daqun meant to listen and watch, and don't say anything without asking.

Lu Mingyi casually put the manuscript paper that he had been looking through on the tea table, as if he didn't plan to pick it up and read it anymore.

These manuscripts should be Ding Ji's new books, and this time they were brought to Lu Mingyi for review, hoping to promote and recommend.

Then the situation seemed to be a little bad, before Tang Shuang came, Ding Feng and Ding Ji's faces were not very good, and it seemed that the conversation was not pleasant.

Now Lu Mingyi said bluntly, this writing is not good!

This made Ding Ji, who was eager to be affirmed and praised, very disappointed, his face was angry, but he didn't dare to speak, and looked at his grandfather with his eyes.

Ding Feng was still laughing at Tang Shuang just now, but he couldn't laugh in a blink of an eye, and asked Lu Mingyi: "I don't know what Brother Lu is referring to?"

Lu Mingyi drank tea and said after a while: "It doesn't work in many places." ”

Speaking of this, Ding Feng was silent and took a teacup to drink.

Lu Mingyi asked: "Are you science fiction or a war theme? I still don't understand." ”

Ding Feng saw that Ding Ji was stunned and said, "Teacher Lu is asking you!"

"Oh, it's science fiction, mainly about war content, and it's about human nature. ”

"Oh, that's it, I have a question, can Xiaoyou help me answer it. Lu Mingyi asked.

Ding Feng: "Lu Lao asked." ”

Lu Mingyi said to Ding Ji: "Why are the aliens in the book bloody and brutal and lack kindness to mankind? Can't aliens be friendly and civilized?"

In Ding Ji's book, the opening chapter talks about the invasion of alien civilizations on the earth and the massacre, and on this premise, it tells about the love and hate of a homeless people.

Lu Mingyi is worthy of being "weird", he doesn't pay attention to the biggest highlight of this book, but pays attention to this kind of "minutiae".

Ding Ji didn't expect it to be such a question, he had mocked a Q&A with his grandfather Ding Feng before he came, but among the more than a hundred questions, only this one was not available.

Why are aliens bloody and brutal?

If it's about literature, Ding Feng is sure, but well, uh, he can't answer it.

Ding Ji thought about it again and again, and replied stubbornly: "In all literary works, aliens are bloody and brutal, and the universe pursues the law of the dark jungle, which is recognized by scientists. ”

Lu Mingyi: "Oh, don't be nervous, I'll just ask." ”

Tang Shuang watched from the sidelines, thinking crankily in his heart, Lu Mingyi, where are you asking casually, you can see that you have bad intentions at a glance, it makes people frightened, isn't it good to ask questions that people are good at, such as the humanistic spirit in his book, hello, hello, hello, everyone, the atmosphere is relaxed, why are you so serious......

Ding Ji's answer obviously couldn't satisfy Lu Mingyi, and asked Wei Daqun: "Daqun, what do you think?"

Wei Daqun smiled and waved his hand: "I haven't thought about this question, I can't answer it, and the estimation here can't answer it, so it's not the line of study." ”

Tang Shuang's heart tightened, Mr. Lu asked Mr. Wei, won't he ask him, right?

Sure enough, Lu Mingyi was not good enough to give up, and continued to ask, but not to Tang Shuang, but to his granddaughter Lu Yingying.

Lu Yingying thought about it seriously and said, "Maybe it's not my race, and its heart must be different." ”

Well, there is some truth to this, but it doesn't make sense.

Tang Shuang was taken aback, and Lu Mingyi locked his eyes on him!

It seems to have made the old gentleman unhappy just now, so why don't you make him happy now?

……

"Actually, I think alien civilizations should be civilized and friendly. ”

Everyone looked at him, should he be so unconventional and so obvious!

Tang Shuang added: "It specifically refers to the alien civilization that invaded the earth. ”

Ding Feng asked, "Do you study astronomy or nature?"

Tang Shuang: "I studied Chinese. ”

Ding Feng said funny: "Then tell me, why should alien civilizations be civilized and friendly?"

Not only did he want to know, but everyone present wanted to know.

Tang Shuang: "It's not an alien civilization, it's an alien civilization that has invaded the earth." ”

Ding Ji finally stopped secretly looking at Lu Yingying, and his attention was shifted to Tang Shuang, asking, "Is there any difference?"

Lu Yingying also asked, "Yes, what's the difference?"

Tang Shuang: "The difference is big. ”

Lu Yingying stopped saying four words when she saw him, as if she said angrily: "Why?"

Ding Feng: "He said it casually, but he couldn't explain it clearly." ”

Lu Mingyi said to Tang Shuang, "What do you say?"

Tang Shuang: "It's a long story, I'll sort out my thoughts first." ”

Ding Feng was a little impatient, and Lu Yingying got up with a smile and poured tea for Tang Shuang: "I want to talk about it after drinking tea." ”

If I can't tell you why, won't I be able to leave here today?

Tang Shuang habitually tapped his fingers on the armrest of the seat, and there was a clattering sound.

When Lu Yingying counted to the tenth sound, she heard Tang Shuang say: "The reason why I specially want to distinguish between the two concepts of alien civilization and alien civilization that invades the earth is because the scientific and technological level of alien civilization is not necessarily higher than that of human beings on earth, and if it is an alien civilization that invades the earth, its technological level must be higher than that of human beings, this point, everyone agrees, right?"

Hearing that Tang Shuang finally began to speak, everyone concentrated one after another, and even Ding Feng, who was impatient, also pondered when he heard the words.

Lu Yingying nodded: "Agreed." ”

Ding Ji, Wei Daqun, Ding Feng and Lu Mingyi all agreed.

If technology is not higher than that of human beings on earth, then it cannot come across time and space, this judgment is simple, and you can understand it with a little thought.

Tang Shuang: "Okay, then let's be sure first, the alien civilization that visited the earth has a higher level of technology than human beings, and the key word here is technology." This leads to the second question, what is the biggest driving force for the development of science and technology?

This is a very abstract question that is difficult to answer.

Lu Yingying seemed to be particularly curious, and was the first to try to answer: "Education?"

Tang Shuang smiled at her, not saying right or wrong.

Ding Ji said: "The accumulation of knowledge, right?"

Lu Mingyi also joined the Q&A session, and the third answer: "Social environment." ”

Wei Daqun said: "Social demand. ”

Ding Feng didn't answer, his old face couldn't hold back, and said, "People's inertia." ”

Tang Shuang was very satisfied with everyone's enthusiasm and said: "Actually, everyone is right, but one-sidedly, the biggest driving force for the development of science and technology should be peace and freedom of thought. ”

Ding Feng was not satisfied with this so-called standard answer and wanted to refute it, but Lu Mingyi stopped him and said, "Listen to Tang Shuang first." ”

Tang Shuang: "We know that the knowledge reserve of individual human beings is subject to subjective bias and has defects of one kind or another, so only by closely exchanging information on a large scale can we erase this defect and the errors it brings, and restore the original face of things more truly and objectively." Any developed technology is built on the accumulation of complex knowledge, which is why modern science is so effective because it creates a community with rigorous institutions. ”

"The individuals who exchange information must be diverse enough to erase subjective biases, so freedom of thought is extremely important to a civilization. As far as we know, an era in which civilization is most inclusive and diverse is always the era in which it is most prosperous. ”

"Like the Zerg in the movie, it is unlikely to exist, and even if they exist, they are harmless to other civilizations, because they cannot transcend the limitations of time and space through technology. And the reason why this is the case is because the individuals in the Zerg civilization have reached a high degree of homogeneity, no matter how huge their community is, they are only equivalent to a single entity, and no matter how close and smooth their communication is, subjective bias cannot be ruled out, and the result is that they may be extremely powerful in the flesh, but extremely weak in science and technology. ”

Everyone pondered, Tang Shuang stopped, waited for everyone to digest, and then listened to Lu Mingyi say: "Therefore, highly centralized politics is anti-intellectual politics. ”

This old gentleman has a very sharp mind, and he immediately connected with reality.
