357. Because they can fly, they fly

Kiriyama originally thought that some cans were poisonous, or that the cans were of unknown origin, but he didn't expect that the reason why Ah Guang didn't eat the cafeteria would be so unpretentious.

"That's it?"

Kiriyama asked.

"Don't you think it's strange that you don't have to do anything to eat, you see those birds need to fly up and catch mice to fill their stomachs, but we don't have to worry about food at all."

Ah Guang spoke his thoughts.

"Why is that?"

"What's the reason for this?"

Qianyun felt that this was a matter of course, and he didn't understand Ah Guang's thinking.

"Why do birds fly, you say?"

Ah Guang asked suddenly.

"Because they can fly, they fly?"

Qianyun felt that the person in front of him was thinking a little abstract.

"Because the birds that can't fly are dead."

Ah Guang lowered his eyes.

"I've seen birds with injured wings before, and they can't fly anymore, and if they don't have anyone to feed them, they quickly starve to death."

"So?"

Asanomo asked rhetorically.

"So, if we've been eating only in the cafeteria and living off what's in the warehouse, what if one day, the warehouse is empty?"

Ah Guang replied.

"According to the people in the town, it seems that you have been eating in the canteen for hundreds of years, and the warehouse has never been empty."

Kiriyama said coldly on the side.

"But there are gods in the sky, and it may bring disaster, what if one day, a fireball falls from the sky and collapses the warehouse?"

Ah Guang does seem to have his own set of logic.

"So you're getting these things yourself?"

Kiriyama gestured to the vegetable patch outside.

"I found that a lot of grass that grows on the ground can be eaten, and they only need to be provided with water and land to grow, and those animals will also grow up, and they will be delicious when they are roasted over fire."

Ah Guang said seriously.

"I just talked to her, and she said it's agriculture."

The young man pointed to Joe's phone, where he had talked a lot with the AI.

"I found that many of the doubts and things I thought about actually have answers, I don't know where you came from, who got these answers, but I am very satisfied, because it means that my thinking is not meaningless."

Obviously, Ah Guang is in a state of constantly thinking about the laws behind things, but many times, he can only see the operation of the surface, but it is difficult to extract abstract concepts from them.

This is an ancient and naïve philosophical speculation.

In the ancient and ignorant age of many civilizations, people always tried to explain phenomena, so there were gods, and all transcendent things were attributed to the power of the gods.

Ah Guang, on the other hand, took a different path, using reason to interrogate reality, and trying to gain insight into the trajectory of the sky with the thinking of mortals.

Originally, if a person like Ah Guang had no external force, he might have fallen to his death in a test flight, or eaten some poisonous mushrooms that should not be eaten, or became one of the victims in a natural disaster.

If he had been lucky enough to live and meet people who believed in what he had done, and passed on this thinking, it would have taken many years before a rational civilization could have been formed.

It's just that the arrival of the Chosen One has obviously changed all that.

"It's delicious."

Jo Twilight tore off a rotisserie chicken leg and stuffed it into her mouth.

Although there was no salt, the aroma of the fat emitted by the scorching flame was very attractive, and Qiao Twilight ate it with the paste in the can, and it felt like the door to a new world was opened.

As for the vegetables, it is boiled with water from the stream to make a vegetable soup, which also has no salt and has a bland taste.

"Don't just eat."

Wushan didn't eat Ah Guang's things, he complained, and looked at the scholar who studied flying machines.

"So, don't you think that thing that was born is an all-powerful god?"

"Well, don't tell the mayor about this, he'll scold me."

Ah Guang nodded.

"Although the legend in the town says that the gods in the sky seem to be able to do anything, after my observation, I found that many times those natural disasters have nothing to do with him."

"Like a flood, the water level of the river rises periodically, and if there is a torrential rain, it overflows, so the flood is not brought by His wrath, but by torrential rain upstream of the river."

He pointed to the river outside.

"It's a fireball falling from the sky, maybe it was really He who did it."

"You don't seem to be afraid of the gods at all."

Qianyun said with interest.

"Because I can think."

Ah Guang spread his hand.

"Just like birds that can fly and look for food in the forest to survive, if they are like the birds in the fence, they lose the ability to fly because of other people's feeding, then one day they will become food on the table."

He looked at the chicken leg in Qiao Dui's hand.

"If we don't think and just look at the food in front of us, then the gods will always be gods."

"Your ideas are dangerous in this place."

Kiriyama commented.

Although the old city has a large-scale city, but the theory of gods and ghosts itself is still prevalent, in some dilapidated mountain villages, there is even the habit of living sacrifices, there used to be a small detachment of warlords to go deep into the barren mountains, but the local villagers regarded it as a monster, one by one caught and sacrificed, no one survived the story.

And in this town of Xuecheng, the people of the whole town believe in the gods, and Ah Guang's words and deeds are undoubtedly blasphemous.

It can only be said that the mayor of the town is still a good person, and Ah Guang himself is far away from the town, and the people here are still in the emotional stage of the simple township.

Otherwise, if it is replaced by other foreign people who know a little more, or some people who want to make profits from this, they will use their belief in the gods to restrain their power and control the entire village and town, and people like Ah Guang will only become heretics and be burned at the stake.

"I don't know what the danger is, I just know that if only gods can fly into the sky, then if I can make a machine that can fly, then can I also become a god?"

Ah Guang said something slightly arrogant.

"I'm afraid God doesn't just fly."

Kiriyama reminded.

"It's just a metaphor, I think the so-called God is just made up by people to deceive themselves, even if there is really such a great existence, why does He project his eyes on this little world."

Ah Guang questioned.

"There's something strange in the forest outside the town, like the one I put on the Iron Bird, in your words, the engine, and I think there's probably more space beyond this forest."

"Indeed."

Qiao Du nibbled the chicken thighs clean.

"You haven't taken us to where you picked up that engine."

"I'll take you there tomorrow, there should be something else over there, but I don't know it, and I can't carry it."

Ah Guang bowed, and he looked at the starry sky outside the room again.

"Do you say, among the stars in the sky, there are other people living there?"
