Road to science and technology

Einstein expressed his attitude very clearly in his words:

"I am a determinist and am forced to act as if free will exists because if I want to live in a civilized society I must act responsibly. I know philosophically that killing a person is not responsible for his crime, but I I would be reluctant to have tea with him. My resume is determined by forces beyond my control.

Henry Ford might have called it his inner voice, Socrates his genie, and each in his own way could explain the fact that humans are not free.

Everything is determined by forces beyond our control. This is true of insects as well as stars, humans, vegetables or cosmic dust are all dancing to the mysterious time, chanted for us by a distant invisible actor. "

Yue Yuanzhou told Shang Shaojian these things.

Seeing Shang Shaojian's thoughtful look, he then recounted the Copenhagen School's explanation of this. In the process, Yue Yuanzhou did not add any explanation of the Shenzhou civilization, but only added the explanation of Shang Shaojian's The theory that the earth originally possessed was revealed.

But not all existing theories say that Yue Yuanzhou only picked the correct generals, and he avoided talking about some mistakes, but did not correct them.

His approach did not mean that he deliberately led the advent civilization into a ditch, but that he believed that the advent civilization had obtained the knowledge of the heptapod civilization and hoped that they could develop their own areas of expertise, so he just gave a little guidance and left the rest We still need to come to civilization to think about it ourselves.

So Yue Yuanzhou said now: "Actually, your theologians also debated this issue back then. Well, it's not bad to say that most religions in the world believe in some form of 'innate destiny'. In some religions, people always It is already determined at birth whether you will go to heaven or hell.”

Shang Shaojian, a staunch materialist, interrupted: "Isn't this nonsense?"

Regarding his words, Yue Yuanzhou did not refute, but continued: "Essentially speaking, this is actually a book of destiny somewhere in heaven. The book lists everyone's names, birthdays and dates of death, people's Success and failure, people's happiness and sorrow, whether they will go to heaven or hell in the end. Although all these are fantasies, sometimes we should not underestimate fantasies. Maybe there is an idea hidden in the seemingly fantasy. middle."

He casually said something simple and easy to understand, and then Yue Yuanzhou stopped talking because he knew that Shao Jian, a knowledgeable businessman who was talking more deeply, could not understand it.

"Okay, it's almost time for me to leave."

"Similar to that Boss Bai, did you return to your own universe?" Shang Shaojian asked hurriedly.

"Roughly the same."

Yue Yuanzhou stood up and patted Shang Shaojian's shoulder, encouraging him: "Work hard. If we are destined to meet again, we will meet again in the future, but the prerequisite is that you can live long."

"Isn't this thousand years a long time?"

"It takes the heptapod civilization three thousand years to do one thing, and some civilizations even take tens of thousands of years to do an experiment. The universe is vast, and sometimes an interstellar journey takes thousands of years, so what do you think!"

"I see!"

Shang Shaojian was silent for a while, then took out the potion and looked at it quietly. Looking at the potion he won from playing mahjong, his face became more determined. Finally, he took a deep breath and faced Yue Yuanzhou, solemnly Asked: "Sir, can I hand over this tube of potion to civilization?"

"oh?"

Yue Yuanzhou glanced at Shang Shaojian unexpectedly, and then said calmly: "Of course you can do whatever you want with the things I gave you! Since you made this choice, I might as well tell you that this potion does not belong to any civilization in the Zhuxia Community The product."

Hearing this, Shang Shaojian's eyes lit up.

If it is not a product of any civilization in the Zhuxia Community, it means that if you use it for research by this civilization, it will not involve the intellectual property agreement between the communities.

Yue Yuanzhou's words are equivalent to telling Shang Shaojian that you can use it for research.

Shang Shaojian obviously also thought of this. He bowed deeply to Yue Yuanzhou and thanked him heartily.

When he straightened up again, Yue Yuanzhou was nowhere to be seen.

Yue Yuanzhou originally came here to take a look and try out the 'Cosmic Gate' system's ability to calculate the plot. Now that the plot is over and the effect has been achieved, he will not stay for long.

Of course, part of the reason why he left was that he had obtained the knowledge of the heptapod civilization and planned to go back to study the merits of this mode of thinking.

Speaking of which, this was indeed the biggest gain from his trip.

Lower-level civilizations will be affected by the fate of thinking brought about by this language, but Shenzhou civilization will not. After all, Longlin's soul research for so many years was not in vain.

Therefore, not only will it not be affected, but it is also very likely that we will be inspired by this way of thinking and promote the development of civilization.

Once you have reached the level of Shenzhou civilization, it is already difficult to go further. If you continue step by step, it will take tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.

Therefore, Yue Yuanzhou actually gained a lot from this trip, because the real alternative thinking of the heptapod civilization is very likely to bring new ideological collisions to the Shenzhou civilization.

For the Shenzhou civilization, this is undoubtedly valuable.

Of course, the result of the collision of ideas is also a double-edged sword, but Yue Yuanzhou is confident that he can guide the collision of ideas in a good direction under his own control.

Moreover, no matter what the consequences of the collision of ideas are, as long as you are around, the Shenzhou civilization will not be in chaos.

After all, he is the founder of the Shenzhou civilization, and he is older than his own civilization.

The words were divided into two parts. After Yue Yuanzhou left, Shang Shaojian planned to report the matter to his superiors immediately, but at this time he discovered that there seemed to be movement in the inner room.

Shang Shaojian was shocked. Although there was no equipment in that room, he knew that the room was the transmission point of the Zhuxia Community, and Boss Bai came out from there at that time.

"Could it be that someone from the office of Lingcong Civilization is here?"

With this thought in mind, Shang Shaojian immediately walked away.

But before he could get close, the door was opened from the inside, and a little girl with orange-red hair popped out. She looked about fourteen or fifteen years old.

"Ha! You are the old Shang that Xia Dou mentioned, right? I have read your information, and you must be right. Oh, Xia Dou is not free recently, so I will take her place for a while. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Erica.”

Erica maintains the appearance of a girl, with a petite body, a cute and clever face, and a two-dimensional outfit, which makes her look very cute.

"Why is she a cute girl with a foreign name?" Shang Shaojian muttered.

"Ah! You really have no eyesight. What is a foreign name? I've never seen anyone with the surname Ai? Forget it, let's implant the system into you first!" Erica pouted and spread her little hands. , revealing the small ball of light in the palm of his hand, "This is an exclusive system specially set up for the liaison officers of the Zhuxia Community. With it, you will officially become a liaison officer. In the future, you can come to this room and teleport to the community market. .”
