"A bit spiritual, but no good!"

As soon as Lu Mingyi finished speaking, Tang Shuang was surprised for a moment, and then stood back and watched.

Because Lu Mingyi's words were not addressed to him, but to Ding Ji next to him.

Tang Shuang couldn't understand why she suddenly switched to Ding Ji while chatting with him.

Is this because you are expecting him, or is it because you have nothing to say, so you just don’t say anything?

I'm afraid it's mostly the latter.

What a weird old man.

On the way here, Wei Daqun introduced to Tang Shuang Lu Mingyi's preferences and temper. In one word, weird.

Tang Shuang looked at Wei Daqun, saw him shaking his head, pursed his lips tightly, and nodded understandingly.

What Wei Daqun meant was to listen and watch, and don't say anything without asking.

Lu Mingyi casually placed the manuscript paper he had been reading on the tea table, as if he did not intend to pick it up and read it again.

These manuscript papers should be Ding Ji's new book. This time I brought them to Lu Mingyi for review, hoping to recommend them for promotion.

Then the situation seemed a little bad. Before Tang Shuang arrived, Ding Feng and Ding Ji looked unhappy, and they looked like they were not having a pleasant conversation.

Now Lu Mingyi said bluntly, this writing is not good!

This made Ding Ji, who was eager to receive positive praise, very disappointed. His face was angry, but he did not dare to speak and looked at his grandfather with his eyes.

Ding Feng was still laughing at Tang Shuang just now, but he stopped laughing in the blink of an eye and asked Lu Mingyi, "I wonder where Brother Lu is referring to?"

Lu Mingyi drank tea and said after a while: "It doesn't work in many places."

When talking about this, Ding Feng remained silent and picked up the teacup to drink tea.

Lu Mingyi asked: "Is this a science fiction novel? Or a war-themed novel? I still don't understand it."

Ding Feng saw Ding Ji in a daze and said, "Teacher Lu is asking you something!"

"Ah? Oh, it's a science fiction novel, mainly about war and about human nature."

"Oh, that's it. I have a question. Can you help me answer it?" Lu Mingyi asked.

Ding Feng: "Mr. Lu, feel free to ask."

Lu Mingyi said to Ding Ji: "Why are the aliens in the book so bloody and cruel and lack goodwill towards humans? Can't aliens be friendly and civilized?"

In Ding Ji's novel, the opening chapter tells about the alien civilization invading the earth and massacre. Based on this premise, it tells the story of the love, hate and separation of a wandering group of people.

Lu Mingyi is indeed a "weird". He does not pay attention to the biggest highlights of this book, but pays attention to such "minutiae".

Ding Ji didn't expect such a question. He had simulated questions and answers with his grandfather Ding Feng before coming here. However, among more than a hundred questions, this was the only one not included.

Why are aliens so bloody and cruel?

If it was a question about literature, Ding Feng would be sure of it, but this question, well, he couldn't answer it either.

Ding Ji thought for a while and then answered bravely: "In all literary works, aliens are bloody and cruel, and the universe follows the laws of the dark jungle. This is recognized by scientists."

Lu Mingyi: "Oh, don't be nervous, I'll just ask."

Tang Shuang looked on, thinking wildly, Lu Mingyi, why are you just asking casually? You can tell at a glance that you have bad intentions, which makes people scared. Isn't it good to ask questions that someone is good at, such as the humanistic spirit in his book, "How are you and how are I?"

Hello everyone, the atmosphere has become more relaxed, why are you so serious...

Ding Ji's answer obviously did not satisfy Lu Mingyi, so he asked Wei Daqun: "Daqun, what do you think?"

Wei Daqun smiled and waved his hands: "I have never thought about this question. I can't answer it. I guess none of you here can answer it. This is not the field I study."

Tang Shuang felt nervous. Mr. Lu asked Teacher Wei, wouldn't he ask him?

As expected, Lu Mingyi refused to give up and continued to ask questions, not to Tang Shuang, but to his granddaughter Lu Yingying.

Lu Yingying thought about it seriously and said, "Maybe it's someone who is not from my race, and their minds must be different."

Well, this makes some sense, but it doesn't make sense.

Tang Shuang was startled, and Lu Mingyi locked his eyes on him!

It seemed that the old gentleman was unhappy just now. How about making him happy now?

…

"Actually, I think alien civilizations should be civilized and friendly."

Everyone looked at him, wondering if he could be so unconventional and flattering so obviously!

Tang Shuang added: "Specifically refers to the alien civilization that invades the earth."

Ding Feng asked: "Do you study astronomy or nature?"

Tang Shuang: "I study Chinese."

Ding Feng said funnyly: "Then tell me why alien civilizations should be civilized and friendly?"

Not only did he want to know, everyone present wanted to know.

Tang Shuang: "It's not an alien civilization, but an alien civilization that invaded the earth."

Ding Ji finally stopped looking at Lu Yingying secretly, and his attention was transferred to Tang Shuang, asking: "Is there any difference?"

Lu Yingying also asked: "Yeah, what's the difference?"

Tang Shuang: "The difference is huge."

Lu Yingying saw him say four words and stopped talking. She seemed to say angrily: "Why?"

Ding Feng: "He talks casually, but he can't explain it clearly."

Lu Mingyi said to Tang Shuang: "What do you say?"

Tang Shuang: "It's a long story, let me sort out my thoughts first."

Ding Feng was a little impatient. Lu Yingying stood up with a smile and poured tea for Tang Shuang: "I'll talk after you drink the tea."

If I can't explain why, will I not be able to leave here today?

Tang Shuang habitually tapped the armrest of the seat with her fingers, making a clicking sound.

When Lu Yingying counted to the tenth tone, she heard Tang Shuang say: "The reason why I specifically want to distinguish between the concepts of alien civilization and alien civilization that invades the earth is because the technological level of alien civilization is not necessarily higher than that of humans on earth.

, and if it is an alien civilization that invades the earth, its technological level must be higher than that of humans. Do you agree with this?"

After hearing Tang Shuang finally start speaking, everyone concentrated their attention. Even Ding Feng, who was impatient, also pondered after hearing the words.

Lu Yingying nodded: "I agree."

Ding Ji, Wei Daqun, Ding Feng and Lu Mingyi all agreed.

If the technology is not higher than that of humans on earth, then it cannot come across time and space. This judgment is simple and can be understood after a little thought.

Tang Shuang: "Okay, let's make sure that the alien civilization that visits the earth has a higher technological level than humans. The key word here is technology. This brings about the second question. The biggest driving force for the development of science and technology is

What?"

This question is very abstract and difficult to answer.

Lu Yingying seemed to be particularly curious and was the first to try to answer: "Education?"

Tang Shuang smiled at her, not saying she was right or wrong.

Ding Ji said: "The accumulation of knowledge, right?"

Lu Mingyi also participated in the Q&A session, and his third answer was: "Social environment."

Wei Daqun said: "Social needs."

Ding Feng was the only one who didn't answer. He couldn't help but said, "It's just human laziness."

Tang Shuang was very satisfied with everyone's enthusiasm and said: "Actually, everyone is right, but it is one-sided. The biggest driving force for the development of science and technology should be peace and freedom of thought."

Ding Feng was not satisfied with this so-called standard answer and wanted to refute it. Lu Mingyi stopped him and said, "Listen to Tang Shuang first."

Tang Shuang: “We know that individual human beings’ knowledge reserves contain subjective biases and have flaws of one kind or another. Therefore, only by closely exchanging information on a large scale can such flaws and errors be smoothed out and become more real and objective.

Restore the true nature of things. Any developed technology is based on the accumulation of complex knowledge, which is why modern science is so effective, because it establishes a community with rigorous systems."

"The individuals who exchange information must be diverse enough to eliminate subjective biases, so freedom of thought is extremely important to a civilization. Judging from what we know, the most inclusive and diverse era of a civilization will always be

its most prosperous era."

"Zergs like those in the movie are unlikely to exist. Even if they exist, they are harmless to other civilizations because they cannot transcend the limitations of time and space through technology. The reason for this is because the individuals in the Zerg civilization have reached a high level.

Homogenization, no matter how huge their community is, they are only equivalent to one individual. No matter how close and smooth their communication is, subjective bias cannot be ruled out. The result is that their bodies may be extremely powerful, but their technological power is extremely weak.

"

Everyone pondered, Tang Shuang paused, waiting for everyone to digest, and then heard Lu Mingyi say: "So, highly centralized politics are anti-intellectual politics."
