Chapter 412 Drilling Wood for Civilization

After turning over a dozen pages with the plan, Zhuge Liang had no time to continue to pay attention to the content on it. Because the theatrical performance program of the founding ceremony has begun.

I don't know who designed it, there was no dancing or singing praises, there were no balloons released by thousands of people, and no loud singing came from all directions.

What appeared in front of everyone was a link familiar to many viewers who had paid attention to the Splendid National Day program, but it should be a relatively later link: the parade of floats.

"Is this ahead of schedule?"

Zhuge Liang asked, pointing to the large floats that were slowly driving over.

"Compared to the Splendid Country, it is indeed in advance. However, no one stipulated that the founding ceremony had to be like them. I still think it's better to come up with some tricks. ”

"Is this going to make a deep impression on the Chinese people?"

"Of course, especially the people of this era."

Zhuge Liang touched a pair of binoculars beside him and looked at it from a distance. I saw that there were people on the float performing a performance of drilling wood to make fire.

"Good guy, this is going to talk about the process of human civilization."

"I wanted to tell me about the evolution of living things, or the process of the universe since the Big Bang, but we couldn't. So it's a matter of second best. Let's talk about it when we open a zoo and have a planetarium in the future. ”

Zhuge Liang swallowed his saliva, and when he looked away from the telescope, he inadvertently saw a string of large screens behind Shen Yu.

Shen Yu realized that he was not looking at himself, so he turned his head to take a look, and found that Zhuge Liang was observing the series of big screens, so he turned back and smiled: "Some details of the performance are not easy to observe. I had to go into the kitchen on the camera and then broadcast it live on the big screen. You should know that stadiums or stadiums are the most often used for this arrangement. ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, and suddenly realized that Shen Yu seemed to have put a lot of effort into this founding ceremony and made a lot of elaborate and meticulous arrangements.

He simply put down the telescope in his hand, and sure enough, he saw a large screen on the opposite side. It's funny that I've been sitting here for so long and only noticing his presence. However, compared to the way the screens are arranged in the stadium, it is obviously different here.

In the middle of the stadium, there are four screens hanging in the middle, which can meet the attention of people from different directions at the same time. And on this street, which looks a bit square, screens are installed along both sides. They were placed at the back of the auditorium and offered to those on the opposite side to watch. Of course, if someone doesn't feel that their neck hurts, they can keep turning their heads to look at the back.

On the screen now, a group of ancient people dressed in animal skins are busy drilling wood for fire. According to Shen Yu, they spent twenty carrots in exchange for a certain tribe. They weren't slaves, and those with this skill wouldn't have been slaves at the time, and even if they were, they would have risen to prominence immediately.

Because they hold the magic weapon of a tribe's efficient survival, in fact, it is also the magic weapon of the entire human civilization.

Zhu Youzhen and his entourage in the VIP seat not far away also saw the picture on the big screen opposite. And Zhai Xinyi and Tian Yinqi squeezed their heads on the small mobile phone, staring intently at the somewhat delayed picture. Only Zhao Zhen called it a real zero-delay observation, and he was now holding a telescope, staring at the wood that had begun to blacken.

Most of the people around had been waiting for a long time, and although the performance on the first float didn't look spectacular, it didn't take long for someone to see the doorway inside.

"Your Majesty, do you remember the Suiren Clan?" Behind Zhao Zhen, Ouyang Xiu, who is also very good at studying historical materials, slowly reminded.

"How could you not remember?" Zhao Zhen replied slowly, "Han Feizi's Five Worms" records that the people eat fruit and clams, and the fishy smell hurts the stomach and stomach, and the people have many diseases. There are saints who make fires to dispel the fish. ”

"It seems that this Dayue Kingdom is telling everyone a truth."

Zhao Zhen sneered in his heart, that is just their truth, but not your truth. It won't be long before you can continue to praise them.

At this time, a short article appeared on the big screen in the form of subtitles. Everyone looked at it intently. Even Tian Yinqi and Zhai Xinyi, who were watching on their mobile phones, raised their heads and looked over. The two of them didn't find where the switch of the barrage was for a moment and a half, and there was no way to see the subtitles that were covered up by the barrage on their mobile phones.

"The three important ways of picking up goods that appeared in the history of civilization when they chiseled for fire, rubbed wood for fire, and ignited pistons were also the trumpets of our ancestors to conquer the world. The cries from the Paleolithic Age may no longer be audible, but it was from that time that we created a safe environment with the help of fire and entered the era of food and clothing. From then on, we knew that there was more that we could use for the benefit of our species, and from then on, we kept changing our tools until the world became a village. The ancestors were so brilliant yesterday, and the future of our descendants should be more healthy, this is our mission! ”

Under Zhai Xinyi's whispered reading, Tian Yinqi and most of the VIPs around him understood the meaning of these words. That is, the reason why the ancestors are glorious is not the science of life, but the continuous use of new tools, so that we, as descendants, have the days of Kangning. What we need to do is to continue to do the same as our ancestors, continue to replace them with new tools, so that our children and grandchildren can live a more peaceful life.

For many ministers of the Qi State, these words can be said to be resounding. However, for the scholars of the Song and Ming dynasties, who had been immersed in the self-consciousness and prostitution of cultural and educational prosperity, this was obviously difficult to accept.

Although they had incorporated a proper cosmology into their philosophical system, although copied from the Taoists, their cosmology seemed to Schrödinger to be a mere vulnerability. Perhaps Schrödinger would have affirmed that their metaphysical ideas laid the foundation for some theories, but if cat sadists were to be allowed to debate with them, it is estimated that the scholars would have to win in their outlook on life.

Of course, they will continue to stubbornly refuse to accept anything that goes against the teachings of the saints, even if the facts are in front of them, or if strong logic has already cut through their cognitive defenses, and they will not let them leave their vanity and dreams of arrogance to open their eyes and re-examine the world.

Civilization is a stone tool made by hand, a spark drilled out of wood, not a few broken books that try to expound the way of heaven and truth, but have always been self-contained.
