“...... The second army, I intend to divide into an inner army and an outer army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe internal army is mainly my personal guards, and the people who went with me to hunt ground helmets before. Its duty is to keep me safe and cooperate with me in various investigations. These are confidential matters, so reliable people are needed. The threshold for foreign armies is lower than that for internal armies, and they are responsible for stationing everywhere to monitor the impending upheaval. There is also the collection of information, especially on the various flora and fauna of the territory. ”

Li Wei paused, "And the purpose of the Science and Technology Bureau, the purpose of its establishment is first of all to comprehensively sort out these materials and screen out the most valuable content. Then, the internal army and I will select the information they have filtered out and then conduct a more in-depth and precise study. When I have some results, I will ask these people to repeat my exploration. The reason why it is listed separately is because the Science and Technology Bureau has high requirements for the knowledge level of the personnel in the bureau, which is bound to recruit some specialists, such as hunters who are really capable like Old Man Bensen. In fact, I also plan to hand over some things to them to do. ”

This step is an important means for him to climb the "science and technology tree", and the Science and Technology Bureau is a very inferior version of a scientific research institution. Its setup is very necessary.

Because one of the most important principles of scientific methodology is publicity.

Scientific knowledge can never be possessed by a particular person, it needs to be rediscovered by someone other than the one who discovered it. This requires it to be "repeatable".

On this basis, for a scientific result to be recognized in the scientific community, it must be presented to the scientific community in a way that allows other scientists to try the same experiment and obtain the same results. If someone else follows this path and gets the same result as the discoverer, it means that the process can be repeated over and over again. In this way, scientific research results will also have a public nature. It proves that it is not the whims of the discoverer, or self-deception, nor is it the result of a mistake caused by so-and-so.

A discovery, an invention, that can do this, also means that it is no longer owned by the individual, but can be acquired, expanded, criticized, or applied in their own way for others.

In fact, science has never been an island. It requires scientists to work together and constantly target and criticize each other in order to preserve what is right and remove what is wrong. It is the interconnection of scientists that enables science to develop cumulatively, constantly carry out new explorations on the basis of original knowledge, and "stand on the shoulders of giants". The key to all of this is publicity.

That's what distinguishes science from a lot of pseudoscience.

The worldview that "truth belongs only to a few" is somewhat incompatible with the scientific community. Because it can be regarded as a paradigm theory by the current scientific community, it is generally the most reliable knowledge at present. It has been tested by many people and has passed the hurdles of peer review. Truth belongs to only a few, and here it only applies to one situation, and that is some cutting-edge discovery and research. However, the frontier does not mean that it is unconventional, it is a new thinking and exploration on the basis of existing knowledge. Even what these few people know and understand, like the previous theories and knowledge, must be verified to prove themselves correct.

The establishment of the Science and Technology Bureau is also to provide a way for "peer review".

Although "listening to the voice of all things" is unique to him, which gives him an advantage over others, it does not mean that every discovery he makes is correct. With it, it can greatly reduce his mistakes and make targeted improvements. It's just that the secrecy action must be done well.

"You're still a little conservative. Andrew thought for a long time before giving this answer, "Compared to the previous three things, it is a bit of a mouse. I remember you telling me that it meant limited vision, so it should be used correctly. The old man nodded.

"......" Levi was taken aback, he didn't expect Andrew to say that.

"You seem to be under some kind of constraint. In fact, the one you are pursuing is really promising, not only can you use it to study animals and plants, but it can be applied to almost any field. Andrew's tone was firm, "I'm a firm believer in that! Whatever you're good at, or what we're scholars deal with, it should be a guideline." This kind of positivism, scientific methodology, which you have called, can enable all of us to 'see through the clouds'. So, since you named this organization the Science and Technology Bureau, the definition of science and technology is the intellectual output that can play a practical role. Then it should be inclusive of everything, not limited to one point!"

"You-you, Lao An, you really surprise me. Levi swallowed, the person in front of him was far more enlightened than he expected. But he also has his own concerns, "I did this because I have an advantage in the study of biology, and other knowledge ......."

"Scientific methodology and positivism are your greatest strengths!" interrupted Andrew, "Your Lord, you may not believe what I have said now, but it is true. I tell you that when I was a young man as an apprentice in the City of Scholars on the side of the royal capital of Edo, I found many famous scholars whose daily task was to look through old books. To constantly search for the words of ancient scholars as their lifelong task. And even if they only find a casual nagging of the ancients, as long as others don't know, it can make them ecstatic. There are some people who share your views, but they are always in the minority. Most people either attach themselves to the scholars above them, or respect the ancients like this, and have no opinions and ideas of their own. A few days ago, I went back and found that the trend was getting worse. ”

He paused, "Your previous plan, after I thought it through, found that I was too conservative. In fact, as long as you stick to this set and set it as a guideline, there will definitely be many people who are really capable of coming to you. Not only scholars, but also in the field of martial arts. The mainstream among them also takes their ancient inheritance as the standard of right and wrong, and regards the words of those masters and ancestors as a measure of everything, rather than focusing on reality. But over the years, as far as I can see, those who are really capable are basically like you, trying to keep their eyes open and look at the world in the present. I'm sure it's the same in other areas. Therefore, the one you insist on is your greatest advantage......"
