Chapter Twenty-Eight: The soul is broken for a thousand years, and the sassy meteor is chivalrous

Facing the mysterious Socrates, Zhuo Junyi and Liu Yanxiao didn't know how to face him for a while, they didn't know if what Socrates said made sense, and they didn't know what the civilization groups in the chaotic region were like. However, Zhuo Junyi continued to ask:

"Even if our hero's psychology is not normal, but you are a magic stick, lecturing everywhere, and letting others accept your concept, does this also indicate that you also have some kind of psychological or group fault?"

"Yes, as human beings, we naturally have a way to achieve ourselves. Didn't I say that the imbalance of both individual life and civilization cannot be eliminated, and what I am preaching is to do our best to achieve a balance in this imbalance. My 'will-balance' model is designed to provide a way for you to communicate with your subconscious and conscious self so that you can develop a more coordinated, natural, and mature personality. In other words, by learning from me, you can become a better hero than you think, do you understand?"

"Less, we're not the kind of people you can fool with a few words, and we still communicate the subconscious and the conscious? our consciousness has always been clear, and the subconscious has always been very clear, and we don't need you to worry about it. Zhuo Junyi said.

"Well, it seems that you are not interested, so forget it. But you should also learn about my 'super-dialecticism' by the way. Socrates' eye was very cunning, and he continued:

"When the productive forces of civilized groups develop to a certain extent, some new imbalances will appear. For example, the redundancy of social production relations due to the increase of productive forces, the deepening of social hierarchical barriers due to the abundance of surplus value, the alienation of individual life due to material abundance, the loss of individual sense of self-worth and even the loss of group meaning due to the reduction of the cost of survival and the diversification of ideological values......"

"Be clear, don't try to fool us. Zhuo Junyi suddenly felt that what Socrates said seemed to have a little dangerous nature, and he knew deeply that for a certain person, the most dangerous thing in the world is thought, and thought is also the starting point of everything.

To put it simply, with the increase of productivity, shoddy manufacturing pervades the entire social group, and values are shocked in the face of great material abundance. It can also be said that everything creates demand for the sake of demand, creates production for the sake of production, and creates value for the sake of value, but these creations ignore the essence of life, and under the guise of "serving life", they go further and further on the road of deviating from life. In this case, it is becoming more and more difficult to realize the value of the individual life, you may feel that you are important, but in fact it is just a small joke played by the big system, and as far as the civilized community is concerned, a specific spiritual core is also needed to maintain cohesion, and these need to be solved by my 'super-dialectic'. Socrates said.

"The sense of value of the individual is actually a very subjective thing, which completely depends on the individual's values and life pursuits. So what you said is actually a bit exaggerated, of course, different lives are different. Liu Yan said to Socrates with a smile.

"Of course, some things can be differentiated, but some things cannot, and if a civilized group generally has a low sense of value, then the spiritual core of this civilization is relatively bad. And if there is no spiritual core of the group, this civilization is a source of water, a tree without roots, and it is difficult to resist some risks and impacts. Socrates said.

Zhuo Junyi frowned slightly on the side, pondered these words, and then slowly spoke:

With the development of productive forces, many new things are created, and then occupy, influence, and control life itself, so that the individual loses its dominant position in its own activities. Saying that, Zhuo Junyi looked at Liu Yan again and smiled:

"I've always believed in a saying called 'Be wise with history.'" Throughout the history of human beings on our earth, the phenomenon mentioned by Su Shenstick is actually not too special. As far as the people of the Chinese feudal era are concerned, under that feudal system, many people will also be alienated by the environment, and the more famous ones are those rotten Confucians in the late feudal period. These corrupt Confucians were controlled by the imperial examination system, just as the human beings on earth were controlled by matter in the later period, and lost the true meaning of life. However, from a historical point of view, this is just a small wave in the long river of history. Therefore, I think we should believe in the self-determination of life itself, that life has infinite potential, and that we will find a way out for ourselves. Saying that, Zhuo Jun faced Socrates:

"I think the four words 'wise with history' on our planet are much more powerful than your 'will-balance' model. But perhaps you are right, the history of human beings on our planet is nothing more than a history of 'system optimization', all history is repeating itself, but human beings themselves have not changed much. ”

Socrates smiled, and he seemed confident in his "will-balance" model:

"Everything is diverse, there are many ways to say it, and seeking common ground while reserving differences is the right way. However, there are some things that are hard to say, and maybe one day you will want to know about my 'will-balance' model. Then he said:

"What you just said is actually quite consistent with what my master said, believing in the self-determination of life. My Master firmly believes that 'people are equal to each other,' even in an unbalanced civilized group, in a social system that can never be perfected, and that people are equal to each other. ”

"All men are equal, all life is equal, this is nothing but a foolish statement that religion deceives people and deceives itself, and any religion is the product of what you call 'imbalance', which will inevitably evolve into some political or economic purpose in the end. And the life I believe in, institutionally speaking, does not need such despicable means, nor does it need such false rituals individually. Zhuo Junyi said.

"I'll just say, when I first saw you, I knew that we were very fateful, and I should have asked you to do a hexagram for you. Socrates' two fat bear paws waved excitedly:

"The purpose of forming a civilized group of living individuals is to be more productive, but because of the imbalance of living individuals, there is also an imbalance between individuals and groups. In other words, the system not only promotes the productive forces, but also has an inherent internal hindrance effect. This is true of the large system of a civilized group, and the same is true of the small system of various small circles within it. Therefore, the 'will-balance' model aims to improve the mind and broaden the wisdom of the people, with the aim of harmonizing the imbalance of the living individual, while the meaning of 'super-dialecticism' is to make up for the shortcomings of the system, and then promote the optimization of the system, with the aim of harmonizing the imbalance between the individual and the group. ”

"According to you, the origin of all imbalances lies in the uncontrollable intelligence of living beings, in other words, 'the complexity of the human heart', do you want to try to control the intelligence of life from this aspect?" asked Zhuo Junyi.

"You can understand it this way, anyway, with your self-conscious independence, no matter what I say, it can't be exactly what you want. 'Transcendentalism' means to let you think for yourself, beyond debate and contradiction, now you understand?" said Socrates.

"Oh, I see, what you are talking about is actually an objective idealism, and I am a materialist, according to materialist dialectics, the 'contradiction' follows any stage of the development of the material movement, and no matter how much you 'transcend the argument', it cannot disappear. As soon as Zhuo Jun spoke, he briefly explained the materialism and idealism on the earth.

In the same way, according to what you call materialist dialectics, everything is in eternal development, then this means that there is always a line between the objective world and our intelligent life: we can know it, but we cannot understand it objectively and comprehensively. Isn't this the overthrow of itself from within itself by materialism? Everything will eventually become the result of idealism?"

Zhuo Junyi patted his head lightly, he definitely didn't agree with Socrates' statement, he could feel that something was wrong, but he just didn't know what was wrong, and he naturally couldn't refute it at the moment.

"Actually, there is no such strict division between materialism and idealism that you are talking about, and everything still depends on the self-determination ability of life that you mentioned earlier. 'Transcendentalism' means not to be true, I thought you understood, but it doesn't seem to be. Socrates shook his head regretfully.

Actually, there is some truth in what you said, when we attribute everything to the system, which many people on our planet actually do, we tend to ignore that the system does not come into being out of thin air, but is created by our intelligent life itself. For a long time, the purpose of human economic development on the earth is to develop the economy, and its means are all-encompassing, even including war, plunder, and deception. But after the development of the economy, the society is indeed filled with all kinds of shoddy things, because the excessive social productive forces have nowhere to release, and the problems caused by overcapacity often penetrate into the consciousness level of the society, no matter what kind of social system, some things cannot be avoided. Zhuo Jun seemed to suddenly remember something, and continued:

"I am reminded of a very old saying in China, 'Wrens nest in the deep forest, but only one branch, and the rat drinks the river, but it is full', the needs of the individual life are indeed very limited, and the so-called higher needs have produced too many diverse and complicated things because of the constraints of the subjective intelligence of the living individual, and most of these things are uncontrollable. At this time, your 'will-equilibrium' model of psychological dynamics and 'superdialectic' may come into play. However, there are no similar theories on our earth, and I have always believed that our materialist dialectics and historical materialism have extremely important significance for individuals to broaden their horizons and guide their actions, which are seriously underestimated or even ignored on earth. ”

Zhuo Junyi thought for a moment and said:

"I think I see what you mean, but it seems like a dead end. On the one hand, the system that has been strengthened by civilized groups for a long time has a great suppressive effect on individual life, and on the other hand, individual life has to optimize the social system. For the individual life, it is necessary to exert its subjective initiative, and it must be determined by the system. All in all, this is not a fun thing, far less interesting than being a hero, so we still want to be a hero and be a couple of heroes to be content. ”

Zhuo Junyi and Liu Yanxiao glanced at each other, and each saw the determination in each other's eyes. Liu Yanxiao listened very clearly from the side just now, at this moment they both decided to reject Socrates' theory of "will-balance" and "super-dialecticism", no matter what their specific content is, Zhuo Junyi and Liu Yanxiao are not interested in knowing - their path, they have to go their own way.

Socrates didn't speak, but just froze there, his eyes, which had been rolling all the time, became still, and the whole person was completely frozen.

"When I was on Earth, it took me several years to figure out one sentence: any social problem, in the final analysis, is actually a human problem. However, it seems that it is not a big deal to figure it out, and maybe I was too weak at that time, so I made a wrong decision. Zhuo Jun said with regret, of course Liu Yanxiao knew what he meant by this wrong decision.

After 1,500 years, Zhuo Junyi finally had a trace of remorse.

Socrates finally moved, his stiff body immediately returned to a soft and bloated state, the black eyes in the two dark circles flashed a hint of strangeness, he gestured twice with two bear paws, and then a simple smile appeared on his face:

"I can tell you very responsibly: it doesn't matter what kind of ideology or doctrine you have, what matters is what kind of era you live in. ”

After Socrates shook his fat body and left, Zhuo Junyi and Liu Yanxiao felt a lot for a while. They can choose to be a hero, but can a hero be able to transcend the civilized group? For a long time, Liu Yan smiled at Zhuo Jun and said:

"I thought I knew you very well, but I didn't expect you to have another side, it seems that you are at least the same level as Socrates. ”

Zhuo Jun smiled silently and bitterly:

"In front of you, of course, I have no secrets. It's just that my personal thoughts were more chaotic in the past, and I originally wanted to learn from Shakyamuni to enlighten under the Bodhi tree for ten years, but it turned out to be my own wishful thinking. Later, after more than a thousand years of cosmic wandering, I realized a little in the dark. Saying that, Zhuo Junyi released a provocative look at Liu Yanxiao again, and said in an extremely narcissistic manner:

"Now I am - listening to the thunder in the silence, everything is cloud-breaking and moon-rising, water is natural, and suddenly it is clear. ”

"Still listen to the thunder, dare you to scream in front of me. As she spoke, Liu Yan smiled and grabbed the golden hoop stick. Zhuo Jun laughed twice, and then jumped out of the door. In the past few days, their hard work has finally been exchanged for a few Buka coins, so Zhuo Junyi is now going to buy two sets of more decent clothes, preferably those battle armor and the like, because sooner or later they will fight this Hengduan Heavenly City.

Walking on the street outside, Zhuo Jun found out that there was a place selling clothes and fabrics not far away. He was thinking about whether the few Buka coins in his hand were enough, but he was suddenly stunned: there was a glowing object on a very tall building in front of him, or it was simply the word "sky". Even though it was daytime, it was constantly flickering, emitting a faint glow that matched the current luminosity and looked very comfortable, which was extremely eye-catching.

After staying for a long time, Zhuo Jun came back to his senses: this word "sky" is unlikely to be a coincidence, it must be for himself and Liu Yan to smile, with the height of the sky, there is absolutely no reason to develop power in this unpopular city, let alone stay here.

"You're really ghostly, but how did you find us?" Zhuo Jun was puzzled. But then he left the sky behind again: it was a blessing or a curse, and he couldn't hide from it. They don't care about the sky, they did it a thousand years ago, and it is the same now.

Sure enough, because the few cloth coins in his hand were really shabby, Zhuo Junyi could only buy two sets of simple clothes for the two of them to wear at home, a kind of clothing similar to the wide robe of the ancient Chinese Wei and Jin dynasties, which looked like large sleeves and layered ribbons, which were very relaxed, natural and casual, as for the battle armor, especially those with high-tech means bonuses, it was ridiculously expensive, Zhuo Junyi estimated that even if he sold himself, he would not be able to exchange for a set of battle armor.

After that, Zhuo Junyi still went to teach the little white bear some fighting skills, but found that the bear people had some subtle changes in their attitude towards themselves. Zhuo Jun understood after thinking about it: Socrates' magic stick was on other people's territory, trying to incite rebellion, and the two of them had contact with Socrates, so it was inevitable to arouse the vigilance of the bear people. Zhuo Jun hoped that the conflict between the two sides would not break out too soon, he and Liu Yanxiao just wanted to live quietly for a few days now, and they finally ended their wandering days without a fixed place.

In the chaotic realm, although many things cannot be unified due to the differences in development within different civilizations, some basic standards are still there. At present, the recognized time standard in the chaotic region is a time scale called the "three six quarters" system, each day is divided into thirty-six "hours", each "time" is divided into three hundred and sixty "hours", and a specific point in time is expressed by degrees, zero degree time is not only the beginning of the day, but also the end of the day, and the earth, midnight is zero degree time. Zhuo Junyi calculated that one day in the Chaos Domain was about equivalent to thirteen and a half days on the earth.

There is a smaller unit of time "Hui Shi" under the "36 Gui Ke" system, but Zhuo Junyi and Liu Yanxiao's body biological clock is based on the "second" on the earth, so they retain the time unit of "second" on the earth, so the "minute" on the earth becomes "tick", and "hour" becomes "Gui time". There are 36 "quarters" in a chaotic day, and each "hour" has 360 "hours", that is, 810 hours, 19,440 minutes, and 1,166,400 seconds on earth. The reason for this is that one planet in the Chaos Region is too large, and it naturally takes a long time to rotate for one week. It is said that it takes more than 2,000 days to orbit the central star, which is more than 70 years on Earth.

At present, the atmospheric composition of the planet where Zhuo Junyi and Liu Yanxiao are located is not much different from that of the Earth, but the thickness of the atmosphere is hundreds of times that of the Earth, and the gravity is also ten times that of the Earth, that is, ten "Gs". Under such circumstances, Zhuo Junyi and Liu Yanxiao's activities on the surface of the planet have been somewhat restricted, but with their current 30,000 tons of body strength, it is not a big problem, but they can't do whatever they want in the barrier-free environment of the universe as before.

As for the units of length and mass, they are generally divided into two categories: conventional units and astronomical units. The common unit of distance is "angular distance", that is, when the planet rotates around the star by one degree, the distance that a point on the surface of the planet moves on the surface of the star is about three light-years, and the distance between the thirteen planets in the chaotic region is about 1.5 light-years. The astronomical unit of mass is mostly based on the mass of a planet as a unified unit of mass, which is about 80 trillion trillion tons of mass as one "Jun baht", so "angular distance" and "Jun baht" are the more common astronomical distance and mass units in chaotic domains.

Conventional units have their own different standards in various civilizations, and Zhuo Junyi and Liu Yanxiao still use the "kilometers", "kilograms" and "tons" on the earth as the standard.
