Chapter 137: Selection of Academicians (Part II)

The judges were stunned when they heard this, and the chief judge sitting in the middle said with a smile, "This title is quite chic, but we are all atheists, and we are all devoted to scientific research, and we have no interest in cultivating immortals and learning the Tao, so we really can't afford to be a friend of Advisor Zhao."

Zhao Yi also said with a smile, "If the princes and generals of the Qin and Han dynasties saw modern weapons and machinery, they would not be cited as miracles. Is it because they are not smart enough, of course not, but because they know less, and the same is true of the world's godliness. Speaking of which, Poor Dao is probably the least disrespectful of all the people present, how can I worship God? ”

"You have a pair of sharp teeth, do you want to persuade us to become religious? Young man, these crooked ways can't help you anything, and when you engage in scientific research, you still have to talk about the results. Jiang Chu said sarcastically.

He directly grasped the handle that Zhao Yi did not have any scientific research achievements and made a big fuss, and tried to strangle Zhao Yi in the review process.

This time, the academician selected Jiang Chu to nominate one of his fellow students, but this junior didn't even pass the selection, so he was brushed down, and the candidate who came up was Zhao Yi, so Jiang Chu has always been dissatisfied with Zhao Yi. Before the start of the academician selection, the spokespersons of certain aspects came to him to let him exert his strength in this matter and suppress Zhao Yi. This is exactly what Jiang Chu wants, he was already holding back the fire in his belly, and now he didn't delay venting his anger and earning benefits, so he directly agreed to it.

After the catastrophe, the communication network was unmaintained, the Internet also collapsed, and the few remaining deep-buried networks between the base cities were all requisitioned by the federal government, leaving only the local area networks of the base cities for civilian use. Since the federal government adopted a planned economic system in the last days, the network of cities was uniformly deployed by the base city government, which meant that the channels for the people to receive information were limited to the government provision.

The underdevelopment of the information industry has led to the extreme eagerness of the residents of the base city to obtain information from the outside world, so even if it is just a boring academician selection, it has attracted more than 20% of the residents of the base city to watch on the computer and television terminals.

Seeing Zhao Yi wearing a robe to participate in the selection, the residents of the base city on the Internet simply exploded, and the entertainment spirit before the catastrophe seemed to have revived, and the online forum of the Federal Academy of Sciences was almost crowded. strongly supported Zhao Yi, some scolded Zhao Yi for being a stick, and some had excellent memory, turning over the fact that Zhao Yi was once a wanted criminal in the Federation.

Before Zhao Yi could refute it, the chief judge spoke for him, "Science and religion are not simply opposites, why can't we study the so-called Taoism and Taoism as a science?" Science is a method of studying the laws of the operation of this world, and as long as the Tao and Tao are falsifiable and can be verified, then it can be used as a part of science. ”

Zhao Yi gave a thumbs up in his heart, he is also an academician, look at what kind of mind the chief judge is, Jiang Chu's position is obviously not high enough.

He glanced at the seat sign in front of the chief judge, nodded yes, and said, "What Academician Huang Changge said is deeply in my heart, since the vigorous development of science and technology in the seventeenth century, almost all of them have been pushed backwards by social needs, and it has indeed achieved the purpose of liberating the productive forces. However, science should not only be limited to solving problems, but should also pursue an ultimate goal, that is, to understand the world and understand the nature of the world.

How many of our predecessors in science have devoted their lives to this goal, believing that the natural world in which we live must be orderly, and that there must be a simple rule deep within it, and that the purpose of science is to understand this rule. Actually, the poor Tao is pursuing the same thing as them, and I call this rule the Tao. ”

Zhao Yi's words resonated with the academicians present, and everyone suddenly felt that this young man in a Taoist robe was much more pleasing to the eye. Yes, if religion abandons the personified god and is willing to make impersonal rules the goal of faith, then why can't it be part of science?

One of the judges asked with interest, "Specifically, how did you pursue the Tao?" Is it like us, inductive deduction, hypothetical argumentation and hypothesis, or do you meditate in meditation and ask the immortals to help you?"

Jiang Chu said contemptuously, "I guess he is pretending to be a ghost at home, so he is playing tricks, and then when the scientific community produces some results, he will jump out and explain it with his own theory." Finally, when scientists have climbed to the pinnacle of truth, they find that theologians have been waiting there for thousands of years. ”

Jiang Chu is a heart-wrenching theory, and in just one sentence, he classifies Zhao Yi as a god. His mean words caused the audience to burst into laughter, and the scientists present felt the same way, who was not used to mess around with religion, and the eyes of Zhao Yi changed again.

"Does Academician Jiang usually do research with lip service?" Zhao Yi silently pinched his fingers and calculated, and smiled back with contempt.

Everyone present, including the residents of the base city who were watching the live broadcast, widened their eyes, the retreat is not pragmatic has always been the criticism of scientists to religious figures, but I didn't expect it to be the other way around today, the master of the Shangqing faction in Maoshan actually asked the academician if he could only play tricks!

Jiang Chuqi's face turned yellow, "What do you know about my research, dare to talk to me like this?" My achievements in neuroscience are well documented, but what are your achievements? ”

Huang Changge, the chief judge, said in a round, "Academician Jiang is discouraged, isn't it just to test Consultant Zhao's scientific research achievements that we are sitting here now?" Consultant Zhao, please elaborate on your research results and achievements. ”

The scene was quiet all of a sudden, and everyone wanted to see if Zhao Yi could come up with weighty results. If Zhao Yi can't come up with anything, not only Zhao Yi, but also the security department that recommended him will become synonymous with "magic stick". If Zhao Yi can prove himself, then Jiang Chu, who has always been-for-tat with him, will inevitably fall into a narrow evaluation.

Although Jiang Chu spoke harshly, he was right, "To engage in scientific research, you still have to talk about the results."

On the Internet outside the venue, the discussion of this matter among the residents of the base city has reached a white-hot stage, and Zhao Yi's followers and Jiang Chu's supporters have launched a heated debate.

Because it was a weekend, a lot of irrelevant passers-by joined the debate and completely stirred up the whole thing. If Zhao Yi can suppress Jiang Chu and obtain the title of academician, I am afraid that once today, the number of believers will increase more than tenfold.

In a townhouse in an A-class residential area, more than 20 gentlemen are holding a small private drinking party, under the bright lights, the well-dressed young second generation is drinking together, looking quite relaxed and freehand, it is impossible to see that this is in the last days.

However, with Zhao Yi's appearance, some people gradually began to pay attention to the corner of the cocktail party, and the 72-inch holographic projection TV broadcast the live broadcast of the academician selection.

Zhang Jun is one of them, sipping on a 2021 vintage Pinot Noir while staring at a holographic projection TV.

An arm wrapped around his neck, and a drunken head came over, "Zhang Shao, you still don't give up." I told you a long time ago, this person pushed up by your old man is no play! Of the seven judges, it seems that only Jiang Chu is dissatisfied with him, and in fact, at least two others have been bought. He couldn't even get past the judging committee, and he couldn't even get to the voting link. ”

Zhang Jun quietly pushed away this head, "Wan Shao looks confident, do you want to make a bet?" ”
