"This is still feudal thinking, heroic historical view." Jing Hongtu criticized: "The will of those big men is not the factor that determines history. It is people who really decide history. Ordinary people, if life is good, who would want to go to war? But not everyone can live well, can they? If there are social contradictions, there will be dissatisfaction. If there are more people who are not living well, this dissatisfaction will converge. ”

"Some careerists may be able to manipulate the direction of this 'discontent' to provoke war and achieve their own personal or interest group goals. However, he could not create such dissatisfaction out of thin air. Only economic growth is sluggish, and people can't imagine it."

"The country is safe and the people are happy, so who wants to fight? But as long as economic growth is sluggish, there are fewer job opportunities, and there are fewer avenues for growth, it will be difficult for people to imagine a 'bright future' – they will be dissatisfied and angry. ”

"At this time, the careerist will tell the people that it is the neighbor who eats more, so you will eat less. Kill your neighbor and you'll have one more bite to eat. Either they have vested interests, and they want to create a 'war' demand to help them steal profits. Xenophobia and conservatism rely on this means to deceive the people. ”

"At the same time, revolutionaries will point out that it is a matter of distribution. The real enemy is not the 'neighbor who eats more', but the 'boss who takes the fruits of your labor' – this boss may live in the neighbor's house, but that does not mean that the neighbor is your enemy. You have to readjust the distribution of benefits. ”

Jing Hongtu said this, and took another sip of juice to moisten his throat: "In the end, we still have to explain this." ”

Xiang Shan nodded: "History textbooks seem to say so." Is the 'New Deal for Delaenau' the latter? ”

Delano was the thirty-second President of the United States and the longest-serving one. His series of policies before World War II to readjust the distribution of domestic wealth dragged the United States out of the abyss of the great crisis and saved the United States from being ***ed.

"The Third Reich at that time belonged to the former." Jing Hongtu nodded.

Xiang Shan sighed: "Tut, in the final analysis, for human beings, it is indeed easier for human beings to imagine that 'my neighbor will eat less if I eat more' than it is to imagine that the prosperous era of Datong will come." ”

Jing Hongtu was slightly surprised: "Tsk, have you also pondered this truth?" ”

"Not really." Xiang Shan shook his head: "Mr. Liu has an interdisciplinary project under his name, and occasionally chats with some people who study neuroscience. They told me that we Homo sapiens have experienced at least tens of thousands of years of primitive life, but only a few decades of modern life. Our brains have evolved adaptively in response to primitive social life, and it is not easy to feel happy in modern society. ”

"That's kind of interesting." Jing Hongtu nodded: "There are also similarities with what I used to think." ”

"Those senior brothers also gave me examples." Xiang Shan gestured with both hands: "When I was studying, didn't there be a pandemic?" At those times, some potential patients did not stay at home well, but they did everything possible to 'flee the epidemic area', which objectively contributed to the further epidemic of the plague. ”

"Why? Because it is in line with the instinct of primitive man. In primitive times, the population density was very low, and if someone in a tribe was suffering from an epidemic, then as long as the tribe people scattered and fled to an area where there was no one, the sick naturally died of illness, and the others were naturally safe. Primitive man relied on this method to resist disease, and those who survived by this means became the ancestors of modern man, and this instinct still exists in modern man, wanting to escape from danger. ”

Jing Hongtu nodded, with a bit of sarcasm in his tone: "I think this set of techniques has a history of tens of thousands of years, and it is 'the law of the ancestors cannot be abolished'." ”

Xiang Shan sighed: "Actually, I often think that if we can develop a means to insert chips into human brains, maybe we can make all mankind go further and achieve 'superhuman drastic changes'." ”

"Wow, great ambition. This is to turn science fiction into reality. Jing Hongtu nodded: "You are the graduate student who went to apply for Professor Liu for this?" ”

Xiang Shan nodded: "But then again, interdisciplinary projects are not easy to do. The teacher told me to do the easy ones first. If I think about it carefully, it is also due to the social industry to build an industrial base......"

"Industrial base?" Jing Hongtu became interested: "Professor Liu, I remember that he is studying hardware, right?" The industrial base is ......"

Xiang Shan wiped his mouth: "I study the hardware and numerical control of cutting-edge 3D printing instruments. ”

"3D Printing...... I remember this was an old topic from fifteen years ago, right? Jing Hongtu said strangely: "Professor Liu, is this throwing you on the cold bench?" ”

"No, no, that's what you don't understand." Xiang Shan looked a little indignant: "When the academic community throws out a concept, there is capital to come in and stir up this concept." Originally, scientists thought that they were here to send funds, but those capitals were just speculating on scientific research topics as stocks, which turned out to be hot money, and they threw it high when the technology was not yet mature. Seedlings are promoted. When the concept is hyped up, they make money at the tuyere, and they don't care about anything. The technology of 3D printing is not mature today, and it ...... more than ten years ago It looks as if its potential has been exhausted and it is about to die. ”

"Mature 3D printing technology can change the industrial pattern to a certain extent."

Jing Hongtu nodded: "You are an expert in this area, but I don't understand it as an old man." ”

"It's okay, don't I understand what you said." Xiang Shan grinned and took a bite of the chicken leg and said vaguely: "Everyone is an expert only in their own field." ”

Jing Hongtu nodded.

"If I let the existing cutting-edge 3D printing technology go to factories at all levels, it will definitely trigger a new round of industrial upgrading." Xiang Shan continued: "According to the history you just mentioned, maybe it will be able to bring peace to mankind for many years, just like the information industry revolution. ”

"Ambitious." Jing Hongtu nodded: "But what about after that?" ”

"One generation does one generation's thing." Xiang Shan is quite optimistic: "As this generation, I will develop new technologies, promote industrial upgrading, and give mankind a few more years of peace." The next generation will do the same. As long as the industry is upgraded fast enough, the economic crisis will not be able to catch up with us. ”

"It's so optimistic. In the previous crises, only one was survived by industrial upgrading - the speed of the economic crisis is much faster than the industrial revolution. Jing Hongtu shook his head: "Now the problem of human beings is no longer 'production' but 'distribution'. At present, it is a backward production relationship, and it can no longer be lined with advanced productive forces. If this fundamental problem is not solved, no matter how you develop, it will only be a symptom......"

Xiang Shantan spread his hands: "Who made my profession a 'palliative'?" If I can 'cure' the symptoms of human beings, I will do my best, right? Who can blame me? ”

"Yes." Professor Jing shook his head: "You're right. I'm far inferior to you in this regard - I'm so old and poor that I don't even have a palliative cure. ”

Professor Jing and Xiang Shan had a speculative chat just now, which touched Professor Jing's heart.

Xiang Shan hurriedly said: "Teacher Jing, this ...... Although the industrial revolution could not keep up with the economic crisis, didn't you say? The landing of Ogun represents the extension of human peace for another period of time. ”

"The reason why there are so many wars in the world is because it is much easier to imagine that 'my neighbor eats more and hurts me to eat less' than it is to imagine the prosperity of Datong. The former is constantly happening in the story, while the latter exists only in the ideals of the philosopher. The member of the school department looked out the window: "However, the landing of the 'Alien Voyager' will make it easier for mankind to imagine the community of destiny of 'all mankind'." I guess this will make the public more psychologically inclined towards 'reform'. ”

Xiang Shan nodded: "The sky is endless, this is a good thing." ”

Jing Hongtu nodded: "It's a good thing, it's just that this name is not very auspicious." ”

"Huh?" Xiang Shan was puzzled: "The name Ogon is wrong?" ”

"The deity Ogun was originally a god of worship among the Yoruba people in Nigeria, Africa. Later, with the Black Triangle trade, a large number of indigenous Africans were taken into captivity to the Americas. This belief was also brought over, and after some changes, it became voodoo. Jing Hongtu explained: "The god 'Ogon' is not just a symbol of 'male' and 'masculine'. He is also the god of metal and smelting, bringing fire and steel to mankind. ”

"Only, do you know what the divinity that often goes hand in hand with 'metal' is?" Jing Hongtu looked at Xiang Shan.

Shaking his head towards the mountain.

"War." Jing Hongtu spat out the word: "The god of 'metal' or 'Venus' is often closely associated with 'war'. Ogun is also the god of war. ”

Xiang Shan breathed a sigh of relief: "Teacher Jing, I have to say something." What 'color head' and 'lip color' are all practices that ignore the objective law of the development of affairs and forcibly link two things together indiscriminately -- as you just said, this thing can allow mankind to develop peacefully for a period of time. ”

"Yes, I'm a liberal arts student, and I love romantic nonsense." Jing Hongtu also smiled.

When the two were chatting, Xiang Shan had already eaten the contents of his plate. Jing Hongtu is probably old and doesn't eat very quickly. Xiang Shan finished eating the last bit of food on the plate in two bites, picked up the plate and said, "Teacher Jing, I have a long time to chat with you, and I have a chance to talk again." ”

Jing Hongtu nodded.

It was about the same day, and that night, Xiang Shan had a dream—a dream about his own hard work, cracking the secrets of 'Ogon', developing an incredible technology, and finally promoting the evolution of all mankind.

"Huh." The next day, Xiang Mountaintop held the head of the chicken coop, brushed his teeth outside, and still thought in his heart: "I really have everything in my dreams." ”
