"It seems to make sense, however, that's not what I'm asking.

Rather, if these students don't want to go to class, why do they spend time and energy staying in school? ”

Shangguan Rin's question seemed reasonable, but Fang Ran, as a bystander, was a little confused, and then, he felt that she was a little "silly and cute":

"It's for the diploma, Rin."

“…… Oh. ”

To Fang Ran's surprise, he originally thought that since Shangguan Rin could ask this kind of question, he would not know the meaning of "diploma", and he was going to explain it to her, but the eldest lady just responded and thought about it on her own.

It wasn't until the two of them walked across the campus and returned to the car to rest for a while that she came to an afterthought:

"Not for their own growth, but for diplomas, academic qualifications;

In this way, it is terrible to devote more than half of one's youth to such inefficient activities in such a short life. ”

At noon, the hottest time of the day, Rolls-Royce sent Fang Ran and Rin back to the Hilton Hotel.

The itinerary of the day, according to Shangguan Rin's original intention, was to prepare to eat and inspect the restaurant of Ang Polytechnic, but after listening to Fang Ran's introduction to the situation, not only was she worried that she couldn't stand the dirty air in the restaurant, but Fang Ran, who had the experience of the morning class, didn't want to take her to such a crowded occasion.

After lunch in the hotel cafeteria, during the lunch break, Fang Ran temporarily said goodbye to Rin, and returned to the apartment under the big sun that had just come out, very good, several lazy roommates were taking a nap, he cleaned up in his room, hurriedly looked at the results of the computer, sighed, and then went out with the key.

Lunch break, even if it will be a little later, since there is a presidential suite to live in for the time being, Fang Ran is also a layman, of course, there will be the most profitable choice.

I slept until three o'clock in the afternoon at Hilton, and when I woke up, I didn't feel the fatigue of the past.

Is it because I met Rin and was in a better mood?

But what can that change, he shook his head, remembering that he still had to go to the laboratory, so he and Shangguan Rin, who had changed his clothes and had taken a shower, took a car to the school and continued his inexplicable campus tour.

Ang Polytechnic University, how to say it, is also his alma mater, even in a state of insight into everything and all thoughts are lost, Fang Ran still has some feelings for it, but if he really wants to take Rin to visit the huge campus, swipe the door card, walk through the corridors of the science buildings, and pass by the doors of the laboratories crowded with equipment, it is still difficult for him to explain clearly to the little girl next to him, at this moment, what he is thinking.

-- Science and technology are the primary productive forces.

He now believes that any substantial progress in human civilization and every step up to it is entirely due to the development of science and technology.

Thinking of this, he casually chatted with Rin about a little story:

"Rin, there's a story of 'ten people sharing porridge', have you heard of it?"

"No, what a story."

"This story has a bit of chicken soup for the soul.

It is said that once upon a time, there were ten people, together, and they would share a pot of boiled porridge every day, but it was impossible to be fair.

At first, they randomly chose one person to share the porridge, and it was not surprising to find that he gave himself more points and starved others; Then, it becomes a day for each person, who takes turns to be the porridge divider, but everyone occupies more when he is on duty, and does not have enough to eat when he is not on duty; Later, a porridge divider and another overseer were appointed, and the porridge distributor quickly became in the same boat as the overseer. Then, every day, ten people discussed and divided it together, but when the discussion was over, the porridge was cold and difficult to swallow.

It wasn't until finally they found a way to appoint a person who shared the porridge, but he had to be the last to take the bowl, and ten bowls of porridge were completely fair, no more, no less. ”

"Is that so?

It sounds awkward, well, but I can't say why. ”

"Maybe, I think so too, after all, it's just a bowl of chicken soup.

Many people who have heard this story will think that 'rules are the most important' or other life insights, but I think it just shows the importance of science and technology.

Needless to say, in that case, until technological advances make it possible to produce ten bowls of uniform size, or until there is the ability to accurately measure the number of porridges, the question of 'fair portion' is simply unsolved, and any attempt at morality, tradition, law, or even violence is meaningless." ”

"Oh......?

So, you're trying to say that science is the only driving force of civilization? ”

"Exactly,"

While speaking, he touched the darkness in his heart, and before he knew it, Fang Ran's tone became a little gloomy:

"Science is the driving force of civilization, and it has always been, from the beginning to the end."

……

The afternoon visit, because of Fang Ran's leadership, Shangguan Rin's Ang Polytechnic tour was relatively smooth.

In the evening, I wanted to go back to the hotel to eat and rest, but the surroundings of Ang Polytechnic University during work time had become a pot of porridge, and the subway could not be sitting, so the two passed through the bustling school gate, sat in a Rolls-Royce, and converged into the traffic on Chengfu Road.

During the evening rush hour, as if every day in the past, in the main urban area of Ancien, where the population density is bursting, cars are rubbing shoulders and crawling slowly, at this time, the value of the vehicle itself has been wiped out, and the cars and cars are equal in front of the traffic jam, regardless of whether you are a second-hand micro surface of thousands of yuan or a supercar of tens of millions of yuan.

However sitting in the car and waiting, the feeling of micro-noodles and Rolls-Royce......

That's still not the same.

In the spacious back of the "Phantom" sedan, looking out the window through the dark blue glass, it was the first time to observe the street congestion of the big city from this perspective, Fang Ran was still a little curious, he stayed in Ang Cheng for several years, but rarely left the campus, even if he did, he took the subway, and he didn't have a car, this was the first time to experience the traffic in the flow of time and stop.

Traffic jams are commonplace in big cities, but obviously, it is a rare sight for Shangguan Rin who visits.

"It's slow, it's just frustrating, every day here."

"I guess so.

Rin, where do you live, don't you get stuck in traffic?

However, it is understandable that there are few such sights when not in big cities. As for Ang Cheng, this is still the government's rough control and license auction, so it didn't get worse, otherwise, it would not be impossible for us to block here all day. ”

"Understandably, you said, this is a residential area of nearly 30 million people.

But if you're congested every day, why drive instead of using some more efficient means of transportation?

Or, the fundamental question is, how can 30 million people live in such a small area, this kind of population density, not to mention you, even if I am from the place, well, I'm afraid it will be congested. ”
