[Synopsis: Ye Xin and Wan Xiaofei gave Han Kongwen an order to go to the Dome of Posivar in the Far North to track down the suspect related to the factor, and during the investigation, the mysterious organization intended to assassinate Su An, although the plan failed, but it caused the anger of the high-level of the Glorious Republic, and the supreme leader Xiao Qing specially authorized Xue Yi and Wei Yining to track down the organization, and after investigation, it was found that the organization had close ties with the suspect that Ye Xin Wan Xiaofei was investigating, so the four of them converged in the underground kingdom of Posivar - Hongyan headquarters, But after the convergence, they found that Zhang Yi, the number one speaker of Hong Yan, seemed to be a little abnormal, and the sudden sky-high necklace incident at this time made the situation even more confusing. ]

Time: November 15, 149 A.D. at eight o'clock in the evening

"In the past, people always asked me what science fiction was."

"Oh? So how did you explain it to them? ”

"I said, science fiction, what people like is the explosion of big ships, cannons, and all kinds of exoskeletons, mechas, tactical destruction weapons and equipment, etc., these are the forms of science fiction that the public is more familiar with and more like." The guest was a bearded middle-aged uncle, his name is Hao Guangyi, a famous writer and one of the important members of the Reflector School.

Hao Guangyi's dress is very casual, knowing that he is here to do the show today, he doesn't dress up very carefully, but it feels very kind.

The host is still Li Lili, so many years have passed, Li Lili has not only not become older, but more beautiful, of course, this is not because of how good she is at maintenance, but because she accepted the transformation of the Apocalypse clan three years ago, and the intelligence sample has been uploaded to the core of the central dropper, and now this body is just like clothes, and she can change her style at any time.

"Well, yes...... But I guess you must have a special understanding of science fiction, right? ”

Hao Guangyi waved his hand when he heard this: "What's not profound, it's just that my brain hole is relatively large, and the angle of looking at things is a little peculiar." ”

Li Lili smiled, she was one of Hao Guangyi's fans, so naturally she didn't think that Hao Guangyi was deliberately humbling, so she asked, "Then can you share your understanding of science fiction with all of us?" ”

Hao Guangyi pondered for a while, then looked at the hundreds of spectators with a smile.

"Do you want to hear it?"

Most of these spectators were randomly selected passers-by, but they were also very cooperative.

"Yes."

Hao Guangyi nodded: "Okay, but before that, I want to trouble the host to do me a favor, is it okay?" ”

"Of course."

Hao Guangyi looked up at the roof of the live broadcast room, which is currently the live broadcast architecture built by the world's top team, and the equipment is naturally everything, and it is also the most advanced.

After confirming this point, Hao Guangyi said: "Please host open the mimicry horizon, let's take a look at the sky in the unlit state of Aluber at night, okay?" ”

This is not an exaggeration, it can even be said to be too easy.

Li Lili immediately notified the backstage, and soon the curtain device at the top of the live broadcast room was activated, and after a while, under the rendering of the central core, not only the roof of the live broadcast room disappeared, but also the surrounding walls disappeared.

Everyone seems to be sitting on the quiet prairie at the moment, feeling the most authentic beauty of the world.

The entire rendering process took only one minute.

After the rendering is completed, in order to create a more realistic rendering environment, the submorphic environment simulation system inside the live broadcast room is also activated.

The temperature begins to drop, the breeze is gentle, and the primitive smell of the grass and trees spreads.

Hao Guangyi is sincerely amazed by the immersive atmosphere created by this top-level equipment.

He nodded and smiled, "If I had fallen asleep just now, I am afraid that I would have to be startled when I woke up." ”

Li Lili smiled and didn't speak, and the audience also smiled, obviously everyone rarely has access to such a real environmental simulation, after all, it is illegal for these special equipment to be used outside the live broadcast room.

After sighing for a while, Hao Guangyi got up and came to the front of the stage, looked at the grass under his feet, looked up at the sky and said: "Actually, I have always thought that science fiction is a very simple thing, if you feel the same as me, then as long as you look up at the sky, you will understand, science fiction does not need too many bells and whistles to express, at least I think so." ”

Saying that, Hao Guangyi looked at the audience: "What do you think? ”

These randomly selected audiences here have different cultural levels and different worldviews and values.

Therefore, after listening to Hao Guangyi's words, some people were thoughtful, some thought it was true, and of course, there were also those who looked confused and disdainful.

After looking around at everyone, Hao Guangyi continued: "My words may be a little abstract and not easy to understand, but you might as well think about it from a different angle, just take the big ship cannon that everyone is more familiar with and respected by commercialization, don't you think this form of expression is actually very primitive and backward? ”

The crowd was puzzled.

Li Lili didn't react, so she asked, "Can you explain it to me in more detail?" ”

Hao Guangyi nodded, then nodded on his wrist.

With the help of the second-generation listening heart in his body, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from the originally silent grassland.

The audience looked back in some panic and saw a troop of steppe cavalry roaring in, and judging from their clothing, it was the nomads of the era of the Salary King, that is, the group of nomads who had retained the most ancient style of the early leaders of Queen Zanspor.

Although the horses they rode were not the kind that humans were familiar with during the Earth period, the style of the cavalry still instantly made people feel ancient.

Looking at this cavalry, Hao Guangyi said: "I have always been very interested in cavalry, because they once represented the top military power of mankind, whether it was Genghis Khan in the Earth period or Zanspol in the period of the Salary King, they all relied on iron horses to gallop the world and lay a country of their own." ”

As Hao Guangyi's words fell, the cavalry had already come behind the audience.

The first one of them also drove forward immediately in front of Hao Guangyi.

Although these are all rendered illusions, there is no difference between the horse and the real creature except that it cannot be touched with real hands.

Every detail, every breath is so real.

Hao Guangyi couldn't help but want to raise his hand to touch it.

But it dodged and walked to the side and stood beside Li Lili.

Then Hao Guangyi said: "Everyone should know that the era of the Salary King is an era of a hundred schools of thought contending and science and technology taking off, and it is almost impossible to establish their own dynasty with the ancient cavalry at that moment, but it is precisely because of the transformation of the cavalry by the Zanspor family that they finally won their own living space." ”

Saying that, Hao Guangyi walked over, pointed to the cavalry on horseback and said: "This armor looks very ancient, in fact, it is an improved version of the second-generation exoskeleton, which is not only more convenient, but also more helpful for fighting on horseback, but ...... No matter how good a horse is, it can't match a tank made of steel, so the Zanspol family has genetically strengthened the horses under their cavalry, and it can be said that these horses are the first genetically enhanced weapons that humans have put into actual combat use since they came to Gaia. ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, and it was obvious that everyone did not know much about the origin of the Zanspur Empire.

"Although they are flesh and blood, they can withstand the attacks of the thinking pistol, and when combined with reasonable tactics and the fighting style of the Zanspol nomads who are not afraid of death, they once made those who wanted to get into the steppes flee." Hao Guangyi raised his hand again as he spoke, this time the war horse did not go away, but when his hand touched the war horse, it disappeared, and the grassland returned to tranquility.

The excitement on Hao Guangyi's face gradually turned into a bitter smile.

"But...... As I said at the beginning, science fiction is a very simple thing, it doesn't need bells and whistles, and it has always been ahead of us, living in our untouchable imagination. Hao Guangyi said with a long sigh: "Just like these cavalry, when humans just learned to use tools and knew that they used obsidian to make sharp blades, these cavalry were god-like existences, and they were science fiction products in the eyes of those natives."

And now, the weapons in the hands of our soldiers are unimaginable god-like beings for Genghis Khan, and these things are enough science fiction for them.

But if the natives hadn't seen cavalry, what kind of science fiction would they have created in their brains?

Do you think of cavalry? Do you think of spaceships?

Genghis Khan already had firearms and cannons during his time, but the level of development of firearms at that time was limited, bows and crossbows were still the strongest weapons and equipment, and cavalry was still the most advanced military force, so would Genghis Khan think that one day a nuclear bomb could destroy all the cavalry under his command?

The answer is obvious...... They can't imagine it, because the times limit their thinking, and the limitations of cognition restrict their imagination.

And standing in today's position to look at the future, look at science fiction in our eyes.

How are we different?

It's nothing more than sending the ship that once floated and sunk in the sea to the larger pond of the Milky Way, and then rowing in the Milky Way with the pulp made of the warp engine.

And in those visually stunning, shocking interstellar wars, two motherships firing at each other, what is the difference between these scenes and pirates in the Caribbean Sea firing at each other thousands of years ago?

If science fiction is all these things, then IMHO, we are no different from the natives. ”

After Hao Guangyi finished speaking, he silently walked back to his place and sat down, he smiled, unscrewed the kettle and drank slowly.

But the audience and Li Lili on the stage felt as if their three views had been subverted.

Oh, yes......

If science fiction is about sailing a ship to the galaxy and then rippling in the galaxy, what is the difference between that and the natives?

The scientific and technological achievements that we are proud of are dazzling at this moment, and perhaps when the next era comes, what will be left to us in the future is just a "classic past".
