Chapter 25: The Enemy Is the Whole World
Xia Ming said: "It's him, but I didn't see him in person." β
When he got out of the Public Security Bureau in the morning, Yang Shengtang's extended luxury car was waiting outside, of course, Xia Ming already knew that the "clam shell essence" sign on the front of the car was actually the flying goddess of Rolls-Royce.
At that time, Yang Shengtang greeted him with a gloomy face, saying that Yang Yuanchang wanted to talk to him.
Waiting outside the Public Security Bureau is a posture of hanging a white flag, Xia Ming can keep abreast of the surrounding movements at any time, it is Yang Yuanchang who should be worried about safety, and Xia Ming did not flinch.
However, as he observed at the beginning, there was no one in the car, and Yang Yuanchang appeared on the car TV.
After the two sides spent some time (touching) the trick (bottom), Yang Yuanchang first lured him and asked him if he would like to change jobs with an annual salary of at least one million US dollars. Yang Yuanchang obviously understood that the accidents between Hou Yunting and Deng Jian were all done by Xia Ming, and he regarded him as a killer or agent with another background.
If Xia Ming hadn't entered the research institute, relying on R3AI, he would have been able to become a world-class bodyguard or killer, but now, why would he do this kind of dirty work, why would he work for others?
Therefore, Xia Ming said that he just wants to quietly engage in scientific research and be an "ordinary" scientist.
"If you can't side with us, you're our enemy."
Yang Yuanchang borrowed the famous words of George W. Bush and began to threaten him, but he was not stupid enough to explain everything to Xia Ming as he was like the villain in the film and television works.
Xia Ming asked, "Who are you?" β
"The whole world ......"
Yang Yuanchang's arms are half extended, spread left and right, this is a very cordial posture.
Xia Ming sneered: "Let me guess, Tang Xiaotang's parents, Professor Xu and Tang Xiaotang, of course, have to add me, our research has touched the taboo of God?" β
Under the real-time observation of the management mode, Yang Yuanchang's expression was not a little unusual, either this guy was an old fox whose acting skills had reached the realm, or he had already understood that the matter of Tang Xiaotang's parents had been guessed.
"On the contrary, Xu Ping, Tang Xiaotang, and you who want to become a scientist, you have embarked on a ****** scientific path."
Yang Yuanchang avoided the topic of Tang Xiaotang's parents, and said like a patient teacher: "Science serves the ** of human beings, the real **." Curiosity is only a means of a scientist, not a destiny of a scientist. Your understanding of science and scientists determines the difference between you and us, and also determines your destiny. β
The camera transmitted Xia Ming's thick disdain, and Yang Yuanchang still maintained an elegant smile that knew everything: "What about you, well, you have received explicit brainwashing education since you were a child, and I understand the ridiculous respect that people like you have for the profession of scientists......"
Yang Yuanchang put his five fingers in one, and compared it to the sign language that is commonly used in the world, which means a certain excretory gas, but what he said in his mouth is: "Knowledge is power, knowledge changes fate, science and technology are the primary productive forces, blabla~"
He lowered his head and looked at Xia Ming from a bird's-eye perspective: "You probably think that it is scientists who lead mankind to make continuous progress. Yes, from Archimedes to Democritus, from Galileo to Darwin, from Newton to Einstein, from Maxwell to Heisenberg, human beings stand taller and farther, and on every footprint, the name of a scientist is printed, however, is this the essence of human progress? β
"No, if you compare a human being to a human being, a scientist is nothing more than a fingernail, and the only meaning is that it touches what human beings want first. With your knowledge, it may be difficult to understand this sentence for a while, so let me, a scientist, tell you the essence of human history. β
"What is the driving force behind mankind's transition from ignorance to civilization? Be**! Food, drinking water, mating, this is the ** of survival and reproduction, so there are hormones, genetically modified, IVF, and cloning technology. Silk, spices, gold, diamonds, this is the ** of existence and alienation, so there was the Great Voyage, there was the Industrial Revolution, there was a Second World War, there were planes, submarines, satellites, landings on the moon, there was the Internet. All human activities revolve around these, and the Tower of Babel is built layer by layer. β
"Did you see that? Those tower builders are the scientists you want to be. Behind each of them is a devil who drives them with a whip. Fame, wealth, and honor are all embellished with the scientific spirit of exploring the unknown, but what scientist explores purely for the sake of exploration, and is not driven by the devil? β
"Of course, there are such scientists, and unfortunately, he must be eliminated by Darwin's law."
Xia Ming finally couldn't help but express a different opinion: "In other words, there is no independent scientific research in this world, and there are no scientists who only work hard to explore the unknown?" β
Yang Yuanchang said with a smile: "On the surface, there are, such as astronomical telescopes that cost a lot of money to build, such as the super particle accelerator, and the LIGO Observatory, which discovered gravitational waves a few years ago, etc., as well as projects such as SETI. Countless people and countless resources are spent on theoretical physics, astronomy, and scientific research, which has no practical prospects, and seems to prove that scientists and scientific research are independent. β
"That's the difference between you and us, you don't understand what the nature of the world is and how it works. The real purpose of SETI is to study distributed computing, and various astronomical telescopes are also investments in the development of outer space. Can you recognize our power and understand how that power works? β
The more Xia Ming listened, the more ridiculous he felt, and he sneered: "I want to ask, from geocentric theory to heliocentric theory, to the Big Bang, from atomic theory to the periodic table, to the Higgs particle, these scientific achievements are not explored for the sake of exploration, so what are they for?" β
Yang Yuanchang nodded his eyes with his finger: "This is the important value of scientists and scientific research on another level, don't forget, human beings are a closed entropy increase system, in order to delay the arrival of heat death, we need an exit, a Zion." If you've watched The Matrix, you'll know what I mean. Scientists are also feeding your little curiosity and keeping you more at ease in a transparent box. β
This point of view made Xia Ming suddenly remember that when he was consulting the materials, he saw a point of view about science in passing, which was very similar to Yang Yuanchang's argument, what kind of scientific ...... Glass cover. It probably means that since science is only a way to understand the world, then science has no so-called independent spirit, and can be distorted and changed as needed. Human beings are eternally in a glass enclosure and cannot access the truth of the world.
This scientific theory makes Yang Yuanchang's big pile of vain words no longer just as simple as a mouth cannon, Xia Ming is already difficult to resist with a mouth cannon, in fact, if Yang Yuanchang speaks this opinion in class, he can only listen on his knees.
However, the current environment is different, and each other's butts can never be put on the same toilet, so Xia Ming has something to say.
"So, you're whip-wielding devils?"
"No, the devil is**, which can be measured and exchanged for money, and we are the whip."
"If the premise is right, these words are true, but..."
Xia Ming still found the loophole in Yang Yuanchang's theory, and he and Tang Xiaotang are living evidence.
"What if humanity is not a closed system?"
Yang Yuanchang's theory of "the devil is driving science" is based on the reality visible to the naked eye: human beings are homogeneous with their souls, and they can never grasp their true selves, living on the earth, just a lonely and insignificant guest in the galaxy and even the universe.
However, Tang Xiaotang has an intersection with something that is suspected of being a soul, Xia Ming has an R3AI of unknown origin in his head, which can already deprive others of their senses. This world is not a transparent box, and the supernatural phenomena in them prove that there are loopholes in this world.
Yang Yuanchang sighed deeply: "Aliens? The multiverse? What a naΓ―ve ......."
He looked at Xia Ming's gaze becoming indifferent, and his words were full of threats: "I hope your innocence will support you through your entire life." β
Xia Ming smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, my secondary two disease can't be cured, if I can't even tolerate my innocence, such a world is not as good as destroying it." β
Pulling his thoughts out of his memories, Xia Ming said, "Our enemy is the whole world. β
Seeing that Tang Xiaotang was stunned, as if he was shocked by what he relayed, he asked with a smile: "Are you afraid?" β
Tang Xiaotang came back to his senses and smiled: "It's exactly what I want!" β
