The next day, early in the morning.

Balcony cabin with sea view on the top floor, room on land.

The furniture is surrounded by soft morning light,

Sunlight shines through the cracks in the windows, dappled in every corner.

The air in the room also carries the coolness of the night, creating a subtle contrast with the warm sunlight, giving a sense of calm and comfort.

There are two tables in the room,

One of them is a small round table with whiskey, playing cards,

There are three chairs around the round table, and Kelvin, Planck, and Einstein are seated.

By this time, they were all asleep,

Planck still had a handful of cards in his right hand and muttered to himself, "My luck is too bad, I was blown up four times by you in one night." ”

That's right, the three scientists were also conquered by the landlord.

On one side of the room, there is a long table against the wall.

Lu Shi sat there, writing hard.

He had an old oil lamp in his hand, which was burning silently.

The faint light of the fire and the morning light intertwined and swayed.

Through the lampshade, you can clearly see the residual lamp oil inside, a shallow layer, like an ink pool that is about to dry up.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew,

The oil lamp went out.

At the same time, Lu Shi also put down the pen in his hand,

"Finally ......"

He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and took a wooden frame as a paperweight, pressing down the wind-blown paper.

"Morning Story" is completed.

This night, he was tossed by three scientists.

The old buddies were too rigorous, and when they saw any inappropriate scientific settings, they had to jump out to guide Lu Shi, resulting in a short story that could have been done in two or three hours, but it was simply revised and revised, and it was written all night.

Lu Shi stood up and looked at the balcony,

The waves wash over the side of the ship, and the sound is regular and soft, weaving into a beautiful symphony.

He loved the serenity and harmony.

However, the closer you get to Sweden, the higher the latitude, the lower the temperature, and the colder the sea breeze becomes.

Lu Shi went over and closed the window, and by the way, he took out a blanket and covered Kelvin.

"Uh-huh......"

Kelvin smacked his lips and woke up from his sleep.

His eyes were hazy, and he looked at Lu Shi,

"Professor Lu, you are really a genius who invented games, this landlord is the most exciting and fast card game I have ever played."

If you talk about fun and puzzles, you can't beat the landlord compared to bridge.

But for some reason, this card game is very addictive,

The three of them drank and played all night yesterday.

Lu Shi said, "Sir, are you cold?" Do you need me to have the crew bring a breakfast? ”

Kelvin had just woken up, and was still a little dazed, and said casually: "Hangover, you shouldn't eat in the morning." I can ...... with a cup of coffee Not...... It's ......."

He remembered something, looked at the table top,

"Done?"

Lu Shi nodded,

"Thanks to your guidance, I was able to finish it in one night."

It's not "I can write it in one night", but "I can write it in one night",

No wonder the tone is a bit gnashing.

Kelvin coughed awkwardly,

"I'm sorry. Alas...... I know I shouldn't interfere with a writer's writing, but when I see what you've written, I can't help but want to say a few more words. ”

It's not just a few words,

Yesterday, three scientists worked together to guide Lu Shi,

Kelvin and Planck clashed over views at every turn, and they quarreled.

Lu Shi had to threaten them again and again, and if he quarreled again, he would replace their roles in the middle with someone else, which barely managed to maintain the situation.

Kelvin said, "Can I take a look?" ”

Lu Shi nodded,

"Of course, please."

This "Pilgrimage Dao" was written because of the debate between Kelvin and Planck.

He put the manuscript in order and handed it to Kelvin.

Kelvin looks at the beginning,

"Hmm...... Did you change the beginning? The sci-fi flavor at the beginning of this is not strong. ”

The fact is that Lu Shi has not changed,

He still uses the beginning of electrician Da Liu.

In the original version, the story begins with Ding Yi's family of three.

The role of Ding Yi frequently appears in Da Liu's,

"The Collapse of the Universe", "The End of the Microcosm", "Morning Hearing Dao", "The Three-Body Problem: Once Upon a Time on Earth", "The Three-Body Problem: Dark Forest", "Ball Lightning",

Counted, there are six books in total, so they are jokingly called "sextants" by book friends.

But Ding Yi in "Chaowen Dao" is slightly different,

In this short story, Ding Yi is not a symbolic scientist, but a person of flesh and blood, who also has responsibilities to his wife and daughter.

Of course, physics is still all that Ding Yi is,

When he was with his wife and daughter, he used the word "squeeze".

Kelvin felt the same way,

"Professor Lu, well written."

Lu Shi was a little confused,

The other party hasn't seen the science fantasy part in the back, so why do they think it's well written.

Kelvin laughs,

“

'Most of my place in mind is occupied by physics, and I'm just trying to squeeze out a small corner for you'.

”

These are Zhong Dingyi's original words.

Kelvin said, "Sketching a character in one sentence is true science fiction." Other writers babbled a few paragraphs, but they didn't convey the essence of the gods, I really don't know what to say. ”

As he spoke, he blinked,

"Even Monsieur Verne."

When the land is full of black lines,

￣□￣｜｜

"Sir, don't hurt me."

Kelvin smiled slyly and whispered, "Of course, I know how popular you are in Paris. ”

"Ah......h

Lu Shi didn't know what to say,

The other party is an old child, and there is really nothing he can do.

Kelvin said: "I appreciate you writing this way because the subject matter of science fiction is relatively special. I think that there is no need for characters to have rich layers and connotations, and the more vigorous the characters, the more likely they are to dilute the science fiction component. ”

Lu Shi was dumbfounded,

I didn't expect physicists to understand literature.

Da Liu once expressed his opinion:

"Science fiction literature has not abandoned the characters, but the image and status of the characters have been greatly reduced compared with mainstream literature."

Kelvin and Da Liu are not far from what they said.

He continued to read,

Soon, the matter of Ding Yi's family ended,

When he woke up, Einstein told him a shocking news -

Large ray emitters used to explore the smallest units of particles or energy disappear out of thin air.

Kelvin couldn't help but laugh,

"Albert is making a cameo here."

Because Albert is a junior and has not established his own doctrine, there is no pressure for Kelvin to call him by his name.

Lu Shi and Planck are different,

One of them is "Professor Lu" and the other is "Professor Planck".

Kelvin continued to look back.

In the second chapter, the troubleshooter appears.

Kelvin muttered:

“

His features were so upright, unrealistically upright, like a symbol of humanity on some public sign. ’

”

This passage is a description of the risk-takers.

Kelvin chewed on the words repeatedly, and then said slowly, "This is the image of the god in my mind. ”

Lu Shi was curious,

"Why?"

Kelvin explained: "The risk solver here is obviously to facilitate communication with the earthlings, so he uses a human image. But this image is very cold, so even if you can feel the friendliness of the rescuer, you can't feel his emotions. ”

It's a new idea.

Lu Shi repeated: "Just a human symbol, not a human being? ”

Kelvin nodded,

"That's what you thought when you portrayed it, right?"

Lu Shi: "......"

That's what to ask Da Liu.

Although "Chaowen Dao" has been changed a lot of content by Lu Shi, the framework has not changed.

Therefore, when facing reading comprehension questions like the college entrance examination, he did not dare to make judgments.

Of course, even if you give the original author Da Liu, you may not be able to get the answer.

He smoked only one cigarette and said:

"The Lord doesn't care."

This is what creation looks like, when I write it, I am full of passion, and when I look back, the writer himself may not be able to think of the reason why he portrayed it in the first place.

Lu Shi pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "The gods in China are not the same. Dr. Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and my Poirot are also comparable to gods in their respective stories~"

Kelvin laughed dumbly,

"Indeed, the detective is a god."

In the case of Sherlock Holmes, in many cases, he would let the prisoner go or discipline the prisoner himself, instead of handing it over to the police and going to court.

This should be unacceptable to the British people, who are gradually adapting to the modern rule of law,

When readable, there was almost no objection.

The reason is that Sherlock Holmes is an all-knowing and all-powerful God.

The prisoners he let go must be worthy of mercy;

The criminals he punished must have been extremely vicious.

Kelvin glanced at Lu,

"Professor Lu, I can really gain a lot by talking to you. I have to admit that pure scientific thinking has limitations. ”

Lu Shi waved his hand,

"Let's keep reading."

Kelvin follows the admonitions.

After the Troubleshooter appeared, he told the scientists that continuing to explore the ultimate mysteries of the universe would lead to the destruction of the universe, but because of the knowledge sealing guidelines, the details could not be revealed to humans.

Immediately after, another cameo character appeared.

Kelvin read it slowly,

“

Planck sat down on the ground and said what would become a famous saying, 'In an unknowable universe, my heart is too lazy to beat.' ’’

”

After this, Ding Yi proposed a "best of both worlds" approach:

Let the troubleshooter tell himself the mysteries of the universe, and then let the riskwalker destroy himself.

The rest of the scientists responded.

The rescuers then built an altar in the desert called the "Altar of Truth" and sent groups of scientists to die generously.

Mathematicians, who want to know the final proof of Goldbach's conjecture;

Paleontologists want to know the real reason for the extinction of dinosaurs on Earth;

Physicists, who want to know the grand unified model of the universe;

……

Kelvin watched with enthusiasm.

He even came up with a wonderful idea,

It would be nice to be one of those who can get a glimpse into the mysteries of the universe.

Anyway, a seventy-seven-year-old man, who is about to fall into the ground with half of his body cut off, if he can steal the opportunity before the last handful of loess is covered on the top of his head, it will not lose his reason and romance.

It's a pity that this kind of thing doesn't exist,

Lu Shi's description is also very vague,

For example, after mathematicians get the proof process of Goldbach's conjecture, they can only describe it from their words:

“…… It's completely new ......"

“…… How could it be ......"

“…… I used to be intuitively ......"

“…… Oh my God, what a ......."

……

Something like this.

After all, the Goldbach conjecture has not yet been proven.

Kelvin even felt that even if Lu Shihao was born a hundred years later, it would not be possible to write the real proof process.

He continued to read with excitement,

In the end, the scientist who ascends the altar is also a cameo, and it is none other than Kelvin himself.

When he looked at himself, he always had a strange feeling,

I can't put it into words, but it's just weird.

Kelvin asked, "Why did you put me last?" ”

Lu Shi replied with a smile: "In this one, you always need a person at the top of the human science pyramid, right?" ”

Kelvin's mouth was about to burst with laughter,

"Hahahahaha! How can I be as great as you say? Not so much~Not so much~ You, you can arrange someone else~ right? Hahahahaha! ”

Lu Shi: "......"

He decided not to speak.

Planck and Einstein were awakened by laughter.

Planck asked, "Sir, what's wrong with you?" ”

Kelvin tried to hold back his smugness and said, "Professor Planck, Professor Lu has finished writing. Let's take a look! ”

"Done?" ×2

Planck and Einstein said in unison,

The two of them came up.

It doesn't take long to read the short story, not to mention that they are top scientists, and even consultants for this book, so there is nothing they can't understand about the obscure concepts in it.

They quickly caught up.

Seeing Kelvin last to walk up the altar, Planck muttered, "No wonder he laughs." ”

If it were him, he would laugh too.

Anyone can see that the level of Lu Shi's "Chaowen Dao" is very high, and it will inevitably become popular in the future.

Among them, the "top of the pyramid of human science" is bound to gain great fame.

The three of them finished reading.

Kelvin collapsed back in his seat, exhausted,

It was like going through a mental marathon, with thoughts stripped away and a tired body left empty.

Planck on the other side was also confused,

He rubbed his forehead and said, "How do I feel like I'm going to be crushed by the profound content of the book?" ”

Einstein said "um",

"I feel the same way."

They never thought that a literary would have this effect.

After a while, Kelvin said, "It's going to feel this way, and the plot is of course one of the reasons." But I think the real problem lies in the philosophy of science involved. Yesterday, Professor Lu said...... Not...... What's going on? ”

Planck reminded: "'If you hear the truth, you can die at night'." ”

Kelvin nodded,

"Yes, that's it. Do you agree with this notion? ”

Planck and Einstein looked at each other,

Without really facing the altar of truth, relying only on imagination, it is difficult for them to give accurate answers.

But

"I think it will." ×2

The two of them still gave uncertain answers.

Kelvin nodded,

"Well, that's what I thought too."

The three were silent,

“……”

“……”

“……”

The atmosphere at the scene became a little heavy.

Einstein was the first to detach himself from this emotion and asked Lu Shi: "Professor Lu, which side are you on?" ”

Lu Shi smiled,

"Me? I'm a liberal arts scholar. It's just that yesterday I watched Professor Planck and Lord Kelvin arguing, and then I had the idea of writing "The Way of the Pilgrimage". As for which side I'm on...... When I write it, it is no longer purely my property, but can be used and imagined by the readers. ”

This answer is a bit slippery.

Kelvin laughed, "Don't forget the title." If you write like that, it shows that Professor Lu also recognizes that 'if you hear the Tao, you can die at night'. ”

Planck shook his head,

"Not really."

The two have different views again, and they are about to open the bar.

Kelvin wrapped himself in a blanket and raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's your point?" ”

Planck pointed to the original,

"The actions of scientists dying for the truth are shocking, and if the main theme is 'Hear the truth, you can die at night', then it is enough to end here, why should there be a last paragraph?"

"Ah......h

Kelvin was asked.

Because, after he came to power, he asked a question: "What is the purpose of the universe?" ”

And the risk-taker can't answer that.

Structurally,

It can be said that humanity moved back to a city before the advanced civilization of the Danger Solver;

It can also be said to be a certain degree of negation of the previous article -

There is no end to the word.

Planck said: "Ding Yi's daughter finally asked, 'What is the purpose of life?' ’。 I think there's a lot of lingering in that question. Is it a quest for knowledge? Should you give up everything for the sake of knowledge? It's an open-ended question......"

Kelvin was speechless,

He felt like he was going to be convinced.

As a result, Einstein disagreed, saying, "But Professor Lu wrote earlier......"

He pointed out the original text,

“

When the problem of survival is completely solved, when love disappears due to the alienation and integration of individuals, when art finally dies due to excessive delicacy and obscurity, the pursuit of the ultimate beauty of the universe becomes the only sustenance for the existence of civilization, and their way of behaving is in line with the basic values of the whole world. ’

”

"Ah......h

Planck was stunned again.

So, the three of them looked at Lu Shi together, their eyes full of thirst for knowledge,

They hope that Lu Shi can give a clear answer.

How does Lu Shi know?

"I really admire you physicists! Reading is not about doing scientific research and solving problems, so according to the map, but it falls behind! ”

The three scientists couldn't help but exchange their eyes.

After a while, Kelvin said, "Professor Lu, you're right to say that. Because this "Chaowen Dao" is both literary and philosophical, and you, as the person who asks the question, will naturally not give us the answer. We're going to find out for ourselves. ”

Planck shook his head,

"No, the three of us are not enough. When I go to Stockholm this time, I must listen to the opinions of my colleagues. ”

Lu Shi: "......"

It's not that he doesn't give an answer,

He really doesn't know the answer!

But this has come to this, and we can only let it go.

Lu Shi waved his hand,

"Okay, then let all the great powers read this and hear what they think."

As for the final conclusion, Lu Shi didn't have the heart to think about it, so he threw himself on the bed directly,

Sleepiness struck instantly.

He muttered to himself in a daze, "That's it, the Lord doesn't care." ”

Planck: ???

Einstein:???

The two were a little confused.

Kelvin smiled and said, "Professor Lu just said that there are all kinds of 'gods' in it......"

He began to "preach" Lu Shi.
