Faced with Lu Yeping's question, Yao Nuying replied seriously: "Yes, we also have a set of astronomical systems that are completely different from ancient Greece in ancient times, and our ancient astronomy is also unique, and even some mysterious places, such as those fantastic astronomy-related secrets taught to us by my father, which even some top scientists can't explain." ”

These words reminded Lu Yeping of the wonderful influence of Tianshu Star on him, and under the guidance of Tianshu Star's true qi, his physical strength has improved by leaps and bounds.

It seems that he is not the only one who has had such an experience, and people from the Yao family may also have similar experiences.

Another aspect that surprised him was that Yao Nuying said that her country still had science in ancient times, so she asked: "Do you mean that our country also had science in ancient times?" ”

"In the eyes of some top scholars in the 22nd century, the concept of science has two levels in history, one is science in a narrow sense, which refers to the product of Western civilization, refers to the system of orderly knowledge, and is the knowledge that has been systematized and formulated.

In a broad sense, science refers to the evolution system of civilization elements recognized by many interstellar civilizations, which is measured by the "degree of civilization", and most members of the interstellar alliance use it to measure the degree of development and progress of a civilization. ”

Lu Yeping thought for a while, and said suddenly: "Are you saying that our country actually had science in a broad sense in ancient times?" ”

Yao Nuying said: "This is also what I learned about after I left the earth, and I came into contact with some high-level talents. From the perspective of civilization, not only the type of science of Western civilization can be called science, although many things of Eastern civilization are in different forms, they also belong to science in a broad sense., which belongs to another path of civilization progress, which is not inferior to that of the West! ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Lu Yeping felt that he had thought of the key point, and said with some excitement: "You mean that all roads lead to Rome, and the respective systems of the East and the West are a way of civilization evolution, and there is no difference between superior and inferior, just like all roads lead to Rome, which road can reach the destination if it is taken well!" ”

Yao Nuying happily tapped her index knuckle on Lu Yeping's head and said, "The child can be taught!" Then he ran quickly, she bounced very painfully, and Lu Yeping felt that his head might be bulging, so he quickly chased after Yao Nuying.

That is, after 10 steps, Lu Yeping caught up with her.

Seeing that she couldn't run and the road was flat, Yao Nuying stopped, crossed her waist and said a little panting: "What are you doing?" Are you going to beat me? ”

Looking at the big beauty in front of him, how could Lu Yeping get his hands on it, so he said: "I'm reluctant to beat you, but you have to tell me where you heard this?" ”

Yao Nuying smiled playfully, and did not answer Lu Yeping's question, but asked rhetorically: "Have you ever left the earth?" ”

Leaving the Earth?

Even in 2291 A.D., such a thing was out of reach for ordinary people like Lu Yeping.

In this era, the people who can leave the earth to visit the galaxy belonging to the Interstellar Alliance have enough financial support or have relevant backgrounds, and Lu Yeping is just an ordinary person, how can he get such an opportunity?

Lu Yeping had no choice but to shake his head, looking a little lost.

Yao Nuying smiled and said: "Then it seems that there are some things that you really don't understand, but these have to start from the beginning, have you heard of the "Joseph Needham's problem" more than 200 years ago? ”

Lu Yeping thought about it, he remembered that he had also studied some history of science and technology in college, and had seen a discussion about this!

Lu Yeping replied: "I can't remember exactly what questions are included, but I only remember the general meaning that although China has made many important contributions to the development of human science and technology in ancient times, why has it not produced modern science?" ”

Yao Nuying also gave a thumbs up and said, "What you said is very accurate, but do you know the reason?" ”

Lu Yeping touched his head and said: "As you just said, each civilization has its own different path, and has its own different ways and directions of civilization progress, so it is not surprising that the Eastern civilization has not produced the product of the development of modern Western civilization - "science", just as your own kitten cannot lay a duck egg ...... like a neighbor's duck." ”

Hearing Lu Yeping's analogy, Yao Nuying was amused.

The island was very quiet, and the road that was talking about it was peaceful and behind Yao Nuying were the two faithful bodyguards, keeping a distance of about 10 paces.

……

At this moment, in a small five-story building on the island, Chairman Yao, Yao Ehuang and Wang Tiejiang are standing outside a huge glass wall, looking at everything in the isolation room in front of them.

Fang Jinghua in the isolation room was placed on a snow-white bed, and all kinds of strange instruments and equipment were set up up and left and right on the bed, and it was several medical researchers from the Interstellar Alliance who operated and used these devices.

Chairman Yao and the others have already figured out the reason why Fang Jinghua wanted to blow up and kill Lu Yeping.

It turned out that he had taken some special drugs, which eroded the center of his brain and took control of a part of the nerve structure of his brain, so that he could accept a specific frequency band of manipulation instructions before he would perform those dangerous actions.

What the researchers are now doing is figuring out the molecular structure of the drug, and then comparing it with the information held by the Interstellar Federation to find out who is really behind it.

Yao Eyu was tired of seeing the boring scientific operation in front of her, she turned her head to look at the window behind her, and unexpectedly saw Lu Yeping and Yao Nuying chasing on the island.

When Yao Eyu pointed out this scene to Chairman Yao, Chairman Yao just smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

On the island late at night, Lu Yeping and Yao Nuying walked tirelessly along a colorful stone road.

Yao Nuying lowered her head and put her hand on Lu Yeping's shoulder, stepping on the stones of different colors under her feet regularly with her toes, and said as she walked: "That time I met some interesting people at the headquarters of the Interstellar Alliance, they are some civilization experts, I also asked them "Joseph Needham's problem" at that time, they told me that this is a false proposition, an intelligent species should stand in the perspective of generalized science to study a lot of information in civilization, such as the Eastern civilization and the Western civilization on the earth, different civilizations are originally taking different pathsAnd the "science" that Joseph Needham mentioned is purely a product of Western civilization, and it is meaningless to use this kind of thing to measure Eastern civilization, so the question itself is a mistake, and he should actually ask why Eastern civilization has not advanced since the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, so it is more appropriate to ask. ”

Lu Yeping had already understood a lot at this time, and he interjected: "I understand, what they mean is that if you want to make this question more meaningful, you must break the limitations of Western science, that is to say, not only Western science born in the 19th century is the real science, the real science is from the perspective of cosmic civilization, and it is wrong to use the narrow sense of science in the West to measure other civilizations!" It's like you can't use the technical requirements of boxing to evaluate martial arts movements! ”

After chatting so much, Lu Yeping found that he was deeply inspired by Yao Nuying and had a subversive understanding of some issues.

At the same time, Lu Yeping was also pleased to find that Yao Nuying was not only a beauty, but also a very knowledgeable and talented woman.
