Chapter 36 Noble Qualities
"Now, you all know that the Thought Seal is the research I value the most. After that meeting, I sent a Thought Seal instrument to Jupiter as a witness. Not long after I sent it out, I suddenly thought of where Dr. Luo Ji and Mr. Li Yi were, and I wanted to see where I wanted to go, because I was curious about the speed of China's development, and the relationship between China and the Western world was somewhat similar to the relationship between the earth and the three-body problem.
So, during that time, I took the time to travel to China with my wife. ”
Hines spoke of his wife with a softness in his eyes that did not change because of what she said.
"There, I saw some of the reasons why China is strong. At that time, more than 200 years ago, there were more than 200 million people with a high school degree or above in China! And unlike education in our country, the breadth and depth of textbooks in China's high schools far exceed those in our country.
While the rich among us enjoyed elite education, the poor had to go to church schools or just social schools. If you know the history of the time, you should know that the schools that the poor attended were almost completely incapable of helping them. At a time when physics had already entered into the in-depth study of quantum theory and relativity, those young people who came out of church schools and social schools did not even know Newton's three laws.
It's called Happy Education! ”
Most of the audience in the audience are modern people, they are different from the past, and the current society as a whole is very, very worshipping science, so every child in the beginning of the memory, the desire is to learn, learn, and then master more knowledge, for a better tomorrow for mankind and work diligently. So they were not deeply impressed by what Hines said about the state of education two hundred years ago, but only a little surprised by the lack of respect for science in society at that time.
However, there are still a small number of people who came to this era through hibernation. Because most of them hibernate at the beginning of the Crisis Era, and most of them were born in the Common Era, they are called A.D. people in this era.
They were deeply touched by what Hines said. In that era, since they were able to hibernate until now, they were naturally at least rich. Therefore, they basically have undergone professional education, but at the beginning, they also saw the strong forward momentum of China back then. That's what a growing educated population brings.
Hines continued: "There I met the children in the school, their thirst for knowledge, and the high expectations of parents for their children. Keiko and I stayed there for a while. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the importance that China attaches to education, I stayed there for what they call the 'gaokao', and during that time, I visited many places in China.
In the end, it was found that whether it was a northerner or a southerner; No matter whether the rice dumplings you eat are salty or sweet; Whether the tofu brain you drink is sweet or salty...... No matter how different they may be, one thing they have in common is the importance they place on education.
It is precisely because of this that I came up with another use of the Thought Seal. ”
The audience was very quiet and didn't ask what he was saying about usage, which made him a little embarrassed. However, after coughing, he said that he had another plan to face the wall in addition to spreading defeatism.
"I woke up for a while after Keiko hibernated. Dr. Li Yi found my code words in the Thought Seal instrument that I had sent to the base of Jupiter. With his help, we added a 'love of learning' directive to the Thought Seal. Originally, I wanted to get more, such as 'not lazy', 'positive', 'rational and wise', etc., but Dr. Li Yi stopped me.
He said that the noble qualities of human beings are not something that can be achieved by a machine alone, but that these qualities are spontaneously formed by human beings in the process of evolution. All machines can bring is nerds, and the human soul is inviolable.
It was I who was so excited and carried away by the prospect of the Thought Seal, but fortunately Dr. Li Yi stopped me. After that, I hibernate again and until now. I'd like to ask, did my approach work? ”
A representative of the European Community in the audience stood up: "Mr. Hines, your plan has succeeded. In the days after you hibernated, a group of people around the world suddenly became extremely passionate about learning. Their study without sleep and food has solved many problems that plague mankind. The difficulties in Mr. Rediaz and Mr. Wade's plan were addressed by them.
In their lifetimes, they experienced many events, the demise of the old society, and the realization of the global communist alliance...... None of this affected them, and they spent their lives on the progress of humanity.
They pay too much, too much. Their love of learning is almost insane......" The representative seemed to want to say something, but she didn't say it.
The smile on Hines' face also disappeared, he looked at the red-eyed EC representative in the audience, and after a few seconds of silence, he whispered: "Is it a matter of longevity?" ”
The female representative choked up a little: "Most of them have no lifespan of more than fifty years...... I saw my mother with my own eyes...... She lay peacefully on her desk, with stacks of materials on it...... I'm sorry I lost my temper. I'll get out of the way......" She took the tissue from her female companion and struggled to run out.
The female companion explained to the group, "I'm sorry, Resley's mother was one of those people in the first place. After that stimulation, she hibernated until a few years ago. ”
The meeting was silent again, and they all remembered the ancestors who had worked tirelessly for humanity. In fact, twenty years after they received the Ideological Seal, when most of them were in their forties, the Earth Communist League wanted to remove the influence of the Ideological Seal for them.
But they refused.
"No, we have lived a very fulfilling life, and we are lucky to be able to do something for humanity." A short sentence, but it contains a lot of meaning.
Hines stepped down from the podium and made his way to Keiko Yamasugi's side.
"Why do you hate the Earth?"
"I don't know. The Earth is now ...... It doesn't seem to be the same as we were back then. In the days when she woke up, she looked through the history of the earth in the past two hundred years, and those flies and dogs were completely invisible, and the waves of the two hundred years washed the sand, and only those noble qualities remained. And what do you hate?
"Let's go see the Earth again."
