Chapter XXXVIII
"Mr. Ye, I came this time, I originally planned to buy the formula of the plant life-promoting agent, mainly to see the hunting heart, I really want to be able to study it in depth, now it seems that it is unlikely, however, I hope to be able to exchange botanical insights with you, especially about the principle of delaying the vitality of plants, and please Mr. Ye do not hesitate to give advice.

Zhang Keqin felt more and more that Ye Xiaochen was deeply hidden, so he naturally would not give up, and immediately said with a straight face.
In his tone, he completely regarded Ye Xiaochen as a fellow practitioner who could sit on an equal footing.
Wang Yuandong was sitting on the side, but he was surprised, he didn't know how the teacher could have such an attitude towards Ye Xiaochen, he didn't believe in his heart that Ye Xiaochen really had advanced attainments in this area.
Ye Xiaochen suddenly had a headache for Zhang Keqin, an expert, who persevered and vowed not to give up until he achieved his goal.
This kind of experts, scholars and researchers are usually more stubborn, otherwise, it is difficult to achieve something in the profession.
"Professor Zhang, let me ask you a question."
Ye Xiaochen pondered for a moment and said immediately.
"Mr. Ye, please speak."
Zhang Keqin saw that Ye Xiaochen had the intention of loosening, and immediately felt happy in his heart, and hurriedly said.
"Do you think plants are conscious?"
Ye Xiaochen asked.
"Plant consciousness?"
Zhang Keqin was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect Ye Xiaochen to ask such a very mysterious question, just like the scientific community's view of the soul.
"How can plants have consciousness, don't you even know the definition of consciousness? Let me give you a popular science, the understanding of consciousness in modern psychology is divided into two senses: broad and narrow. The concept of consciousness in a broad sense holds that consciousness is the totality of psychological phenomena given to reality, and is a subjective phenomenon of personal direct experience, which is manifested as the unity of knowledge, emotion, and intention. The narrow concept of consciousness refers to the degree to which people are aware of and concerned about the outside world and themselves. ā
Wang Yuandong really couldn't see that his mentor valued Ye Xiaochen so much, so he couldn't help but say sarcastically.
Indeed, the current definition of consciousness mainly refers to people with intelligence, and even the more intelligent animals do not have a definition of consciousness, let alone plants.
Ye Xiaochen glanced at Wang Yuandong and didn't say anything, just smiled.
At present, the definition of consciousness in society is too limited, and it has even affected the development of many natural sciences.
Can you imagine that immortal beasts with super intelligence can transform into humans, speak and think like humans, and even form their own racial civilization?
Can you imagine that the ancient immortal trees that have lived for countless years can walk the earth, spread countless wisdom, and spread all kinds of civilization fire?
Can you imagine that a stubborn stone can give birth to a fairy fetus, calling for wind and rain, and superior wisdom?
It may not be seen on the earth, but the heavens and worlds beyond the earth are not unusual.
When Ye Xiaochen saw these records from the introductory guide of the Shennong system, he felt shocked at that time, only to know that the current human beings on the earth are just caged birds, and they can't imagine the vastness and greatness of the outside at all.
"Mr. Ye, I really don't know much about plant consciousness."
Zhang Keqin said.
It's not that he is lonely and unheard, but in fact, the study of life in modern science is still limited to the physical level.
Just like when a person is sick, he can only start with various physical symptoms.
Of course, it is not completely in-depth, for example, modern psychology is already a kind of progress, and it can begin to explore deeper mysteries from the inner world of people, but it is also superficial due to various limitations.
"Hehe, it seems to me that botany is losing the definition of consciousness, and that's it, it's hard to make any progress."
Ye Xiaochen took a sip of tea, and then said.
Wang Yuandong almost stopped laughing, he felt that Ye Xiaochen at this moment was simply pretending.
Zhang Keqin seemed to be thoughtful, and then said, "Please also ask Mr. Ye for advice." ā
Ye Xiaochen looked at Zhang Keqin's attitude as if he was a good student, and sighed in his heart, it seems that it is necessary to show his hand, otherwise, it will be difficult to do it!
"For example, nowadays people have diseases, both physical and mental, and some physical diseases are also related to the spirit, so the treatment and conditioning must be carried out in accordance with pathology. The same is true for plants, if plants are not conscious, nature only needs to cultivate and study according to the situation of the plants themselves, and once plants have consciousness, it becomes more complicated, and there are many problems that science cannot explain now...."
Ye Xiaochen pondered for a moment, and then began to speak.
Who would have thought that this would not stop.
In fact, Ye Xiaochen knew a lot of more superior and progressive knowledge, and he also wanted to have a chance to show it.
For a long time, he has been researching on his own, a bit behind closed doors, and now there is a plant expert to discuss and communicate with him, which is naturally a good opportunity for verification.
Zhang Keqin couldn't fully approve of Ye Xiaochen's various novel ideas, but he felt that they were very novel, so he couldn't help but invest in them.
Wang Yuandong couldn't help it, "Ye Xiaochen, all this you said must be confirmed one point, that is, the existence of plant consciousness. ā
Zhang Keqin was a little dissatisfied with Wang Yuandong's interruption of the communication between the two, and glared at Wang Yuandong reproachfully.
However, he also had big questions about the existence of plant consciousness.
"Can't confirm."
Ye Xiaochen shrugged his shoulders.
If you want to be sure of the existence of plant consciousness, you have to have the same psychic talent as him, or you have the idea like a practitioner.
Of course, the development of modern science to a certain extent may also be able to detect the existence of plant consciousness.
It's just not right now.
Ye Xiaochen was very helpless, he could clearly determine the existence of plant consciousness, but there was no substantial evidence.
"Then what you just said can only be said to be your assumption, without any scientific evidence, that is pseudoscience."
Wang Yuandong said with a sneer.
Ye Xiaochen didn't say anything, he didn't bother to bother with him, he thought he had found a flaw, but in fact, he was short-sighted and narrow-minded, just a frog at the bottom of the well.
Zhang Keqin was thinking about the possibility that Ye Xiaochen said.
The inability to confirm the existence of plant consciousness does not mean that plant consciousness does not exist, but only shows that the level of modern science is not enough.
It's like hundreds of years ago, everyone knew that it was impossible for a man to go to heaven.
But now?
Therefore, as a botanist, he has always had a cognition, that is, to make bold assumptions and carefully demonstrate.
Moreover, from Ye Xiaochen's various views and arguments just now, he can already judge that Ye Xiaochen's professional knowledge in botany is not weak, but very profound, but it has not been systematically and comprehensively studied, and it seems a little scattered, and some questions point to the essence of the problem, which is very much in line with his appetite.
He even felt that Ye Xiaochen might have really found a way for the existence of plant consciousness.
But it is clumsy.
Don't want to say it.
