Chapter 4 Direction

"The Origin of Species" is a book on the evolution of species in the whole world, although such a book talks about the common ancestors of human beings and all things, but the focus is not on human beings, even if the description of human evolution takes a little more ink than other family species, and the number is limited, it seems extremely empty.

When people in the martial arts world read "The Origin of Species", even if they agree with the views in their hearts, and even agree that humans share the same ancestors with other species, how did humans evolve?

Why pigs, dogs, cows, sheep, and all other species have not evolved a high degree of intelligence.

Humans alone evolved intelligence, language?

There is necessity in chance, so even if evolution is correct, there must be a key point, and there is also something that distinguishes man from other animals.

And this speech of the Qin Dynasty.

"Standing and walking is key?"

"The biggest difference between humans and other animals is the making of tools?"

"Walking upright freed up the hands and allowed humans to make tools in large numbers, and walking upright freed up the human breath, so that language could be evolved, rather than a single animal call?"

One by one, they fell into shock and deep thought, even if most people did not agree with the theory of human evolution in "The Origin of Species", they were all thinking about it at this time.

"In the evolution of human beings, walking upright is the key, but what really makes humans strong is the tools. Qin Chao's voice sounded, "There is a point about this, which has been expressed in many of my articles, and even more so in the "Journey to the Immortal Country" I wrote, I think everyone can also understand. ”

Many people nodded slightly, even if they sincerely believed in Confucianism, believed in Mrs. Kong's 'art of harvesting, cheap art', and thought that tools were 'strange skills', the bigwigs had to admit it in their hearts.

"Qin Gongzi, only with a ship can you sail on the water. Everyone understands that you can only see the vista with a telescope. "The problem is that now toolmaking has come to an end, there are boats, knives, axes and saws, and cars." It's not that you don't want to have better tools, it's that you can't make them. ”

"That's right, the tools in Qin Gongzi's "Journey to the Immortal Country" seem to be very fascinating, but that is impossible to achieve, and can only be seen as a mythical story!"

"The quality of the tools is known to everyone in the world, even the Sage Kong admits it, but the manufacture of tools is limited after all. ”

......

One by one.

Among the rows of bigwigs standing on the left of the Qin Dynasty. Sima Guang smiled and said: "Qin Gongzi, we are not against tools, the 'strange and obscene skills' in our Confucian mouths do not refer to ships, telescopes, knives, axes, guns and arrows, which are really beneficial to the people and the world, but to the manpower and material resources needed to manufacture. Something that is asymmetrical with the efficiency of reducing the burden on the people. ”

"Mr. Sima is right, and you are very worried. Qin Chao smiled. Then his voice raised, "Everyone, I want to ask, is the iron ball and other tools used in the experiment I demonstrated last time at Lizheng Academy considered a strange technique?"

Those two hemispheres?

One by one, they burst out laughing.

"Qin Gongzi, that thing may be a strange trick in the eyes of the common people. But in our eyes, it can't count!"

"Chen Gongzi thinks so, but I don't know if Mr. Sima agrees with the disciple?" Qin Chao looked at Sima Guang.

Sima Guang smiled slightly: "The hemispheric experiment is wonderful, and it contains the great truth between heaven and earth, which can cause us to think deeply. Maybe you can comprehend a certain truth because of this, how can it be considered a strange prostitution technique?"

"Mr. Sima and you are also understanding people, I don't think it's a strange trick, but the common people think, so whether a new thing comes out is a trick or not, it depends on your knowledge. Qin Chao smiled, "There are three realms in life, looking at mountains as mountains, looking at water as water, looking at mountains as mountains, looking at mountains as not water, looking at mountains as mountains, looking at water as water." ”

"And we martial arts people, especially those who are engaged in learning and exploring the principles of heaven, must be good at thinking, diligent in thinking and discovering, and we must see that things that seem ordinary in the eyes of ordinary people are unusual. ”

"Therefore, Zhuge Kongming can make a wooden ox and a flowing horse, and a Kongming crossbow!"

"So, when the ordinary Kong Ming lantern comes to my hands, there is a flying ball!"

"So, Qin's optics have a telescope in Liu Qin's hands!"

......

The sound echoed in the ears of many people, and many people's hearts were touched, yes, the same thing, some people are familiar with it, but others can make things that the world is amazed.

"You think that the tools in the fairy kingdom are myths because you know too little, not that the tools in heaven and earth are all done, not that the truth is exhausted, but that there is a lack of eyes to discover. ”

"Our martial arts world is full of crises, sixty years have passed in the blink of an eye, can we survive this crisis, I can't rely on Qin Xianao alone, I can't rely on Duan Haifeng's son, and I ......can't rely on Mr. Sima, Mr. Yichuan, Wang Xianggong, etc."

"God has endowed us with smart brains and dexterous hands, and I want you to really put them to good use. ”

"That's all I have to say, and finally I have a good news for you, there is a group of people in Lingnan who are about to create a new thing, this is a earth-shattering tool that can turn the whole world upside down, or it will open an era!" Qin Chao said.

"Lingnan will come up with new tools?"

"An earth-shattering tool?"

"Can cause the whole world to be turned upside down and start an era?" glared one by one. Qin Chao bowed his hand slightly to Sima Guang, and then bowed his hand to the big guys: "Everyone, farewell!" Soon Qin Chao left.

Soon, Qin Xianao's Songyang Academy's "The biggest difference between humans and animals is that they can make tools" appeared in the whole speech on the new issue of "Wulin Feng".

The key to the evolution of apes into humans is to walk upright?

People are strong because they make tools?

This time, the speech and article shook the martial arts world, and soon it was published in the "Wulin Wind" and the "New Youth" newspaper.

"This is undoubtedly a great lecture, and a great conjecture on the advanced theory of man, and it is undoubtedly very appropriate to supplement The Origin of Species, so I would like to call it an epilogue of The Origin of Species......"

"The most admirable thing is that Qin Xianao is not a light argument in his lecture, everything is conjecture, you look at the habits of primates such as monkeys and orangutans in his text, social hierarchy, wolf habits, etc., observe the habits of primates, so as to compare them with humans, and then draw conclusions, such a conclusion is undoubtedly convincing......"

"Qin Xianao put the key to human evolution on two points, one is upright, and the other is a tool. Standing upright and freeing up hands, making tools to make humans strong, this strength is not only the ability to survive, but also the intellectual ......"

"This conjecture, like "The Origin of Species", can be said to be a well-founded and highly convincing academic lecture ......"

"I don't believe that the success of human beings lies in the manufacture of tools, but putting aside the divine factor and reasoning purely from the evolutionary theory, Qin Xianao's speech is undoubtedly very wonderful......"

"If you believe in the theory of evolution in "The Origin of Species" and believe that man evolved from apes, then you will definitely believe Qin Xianao's conjecture......

"When admiring the brilliance of Qin Xianao's lectures, what shocked me the most was his attitude towards learning, from the examples in the article, we can see that Qin Xianao did not completely imagine in order to draw these conclusions, but went deep into the barren mountains and mountains, and even Qin Xianao personally went to study, observe, and do it, I don't know what qualifications we have to sit at home and talk about it......"

"As Qin Xianao said in his speech, there are many reasons why people have evolved into human beings, like human food, eating meat and vegetarianism? Will it matter? Like the bare skin of the human body? But the real key is to make tools......

"Qin Xianao's speech continued his previous rigor and seriousness, although, for various reasons, he could not be truly rigorous, but compared to most of us, he was rigorous, and the various examples he gave in the article were undoubtedly convincing......"

"Fills the gap in the history of human evolution, and also fills the gap in The Origin of Species......"

Because of the explosive fruit picking of the Tai Chi Society last time, many views in "The Origin of Species" have been confirmed in the recipe for longevity, so there are more and more people who believe in the main ideas of "The Origin of Species".

This time, the Qin Dynasty made a conjecture about the evolution of human beings, and even Sima Guang, Cheng Yi and other people who were skeptical of "The Origin of Species" felt that if the main point of "The Origin of Species" was correct, then this conjecture was very wonderful and more reasonable. They are all like this, and those who believe in the theory of evolution are even more shocked and amazed.

And in the speech, the Qin Dynasty admired the tools.

"The preservation of fire allows humans to escape the cold and eat cooked food, which is easy to absorb and digest, and promotes the development of the human body and brain......"

"Stone, bone, and wooden tools made it easier for humans to hunt and gather, and even made fur 'clothes' to keep out the cold......"

"The production and use of multi-component complex tools contributed to the rapid development of brain function, the first great climax of human intellectual evolution, and provided the basis for the evolution of language......"

Tools are very common in the eyes of everyone, so ordinary that they don't pay much attention to them at all, and even the large number of utensils that Qin Xianao talked about in "Travels to the Immortal Country" still don't many people attach great importance to it, but this time, ......

People of insight reflect carefully, and the more they think deeply, the more they discover the great role of tools.

Shocked!

Especially the manufacturing of tools that Qin Xianao talked about, the same ordinary truth, some people turn a blind eye, but some people can use it to make magical tools. Qin Xianao did not directly explain these truths in his speech, but everyone knows that optics is a cheap science, the craftsman's science is also a cheap science, and Kong Minglan is still a cheap science - Qin Xianao is still looking for cheap learning, thinking that cheap learning is the direction of the martial arts world.
