Chapter 269 Discussion on Alien Invasion of Earth (1)

"A bit spiritual, but no!"

As soon as Lu Mingyi's words fell, Tang Shuang was surprised, and then watched from the sidelines.

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

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

Is this an expectation for him, or is there nothing to say, so I don't say anything at all?

I'm afraid the latter are mostly.

What a grumpy old man.

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

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

What Wei Daqun meant was to listen and watch, but not to speak without asking.

Lu Mingyi casually placed the manuscript paper he had been flipping through before on the tea table, as if he didn't intend to pick it up to read again.

These draft papers should be Ding Ji's new book, and this time they were brought to Lu Mingyi for review, hoping to be promoted and recommended.

Then the situation seemed to be a little bad. Before Tang Shuang came, Ding Feng and Ding Ji's faces were not very good, and it seemed that they were not having a pleasant conversation.

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

This disappointed Ding Ji, who was eager to get affirmative praise, his face was angry, but he didn't dare to speak, and looked at his grandfather.

Ding Feng was still laughing at Tang Shuang just now, but he stopped laughing in a blink of an eye, and asked Lu Mingyi, "I don't know what brother Lu is referring to?"

Lu Mingyi drank tea and said after a while, "Many places are not allowed."

Speaking of this, Ding Feng remained silent, and picked up his teacup to drink tea.

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

Seeing that Ding Ji was in a daze, Ding Feng said, "Teacher Lu is asking you something!"

"Huh? Oh, it's a science fiction novel, mainly about war and about humanity."

"Oh, that's it. I have a doubt, can you answer it for me, little friend." Lu Mingyi asked.

Ding Feng: "Old Lu just ask."

Lu Mingyi said to Ding Ji: "Why are the aliens in the book bloody and brutal, and lack of kindness to humans? Can't aliens be friendly and civilized?"

In Ding Ji's novel, the opening chapter talks about the alien civilization invading the earth and massacring it. Based on this premise, it tells the love, hate and sorrow of a group of homeless people.

Lu Mingyi is worthy of being a "weird". He doesn't pay attention to the biggest highlight of this book, but pays attention to this kind of "details".

Ding Ji didn't expect such a question. Before he came here, he simulated the question and answer with his grandfather Ding Feng, but among the more than 100 questions, this was the only one that didn't exist.

Why are aliens bloody and brutal?
If it's a question about literature, Ding Feng is sure, but for this question, uh, he can't answer it either.

Ding Ji thought again and again, and answered bravely: "In all literary works, aliens are bloody and brutal, and the universe follows the law of the dark jungle, which is recognized by scientists."

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

Tang Shuang watched from the sidelines, thinking wildly, Lu Mingyi, you are just asking casually, you can tell at a glance that you have bad intentions, it makes people frightened, isn't it good to ask questions that people are good at, such as the humanistic spirit in his book, hello, hello, hello Hello everyone, the atmosphere is relaxed, why are you so serious...

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

Wei Daqun smiled and waved his hands: "I haven't thought about this question, and I can't answer it. I don't think anyone here can answer it. This is not what I study."

Tang Shuang's heart tightened. Mr. Lu asked Mr. Wei, wouldn't he?

Sure enough, Lu Mingyi was not willing to give up and continued to ask questions, but not to Tang Shuang, but to his granddaughter Lu Yingying.

Lu Yingying thought about it seriously, and said, "Maybe it's not my race, so their hearts must be different."

Well, there is some truth to this, but it doesn't make sense either.

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

It seemed to make the old man unhappy just now, do you want to make him happy now?

……

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

Everyone looked at him one after another, wanting to be so unconventional and flattering so obvious!
Tang Shuang added: "Specifically refers to the alien civilization that invaded the earth."

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

Tang Shuang: "I study Chinese."

Ding Feng said with a smile: "Then tell me, why should the alien civilization be civilized and friendly?"

Not only he wanted to know, but 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 peeking at Lu Yingying, and turned his attention to Tang Shuang, asking, "Is there any difference?"

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

Tang Shuang: "The difference is huge."

Seeing that he said four words, Lu Yingying remained silent, as if angrily said: "Why?"

Ding Feng: "He said casually, but he couldn't explain 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, and Lu Yingying stood up with a smile and poured tea for Tang Shuang: "I have to talk about it after drinking the tea."

If I can't explain why, is it because I can't leave here today?
Tang Shuang tapped the armrest of the seat with her fingers habitually, making a rattling sound.

When Lu Yingying counted to the tenth, she heard Tang Shuang say: "The reason why I want to distinguish the two concepts of alien civilization and alien civilization invading the earth is because the technological level of alien civilization is not necessarily higher than that of human beings on earth." , and if it is an alien civilization that invaded the earth, its technological level must be higher than that of human beings, do you agree with this point?"

Hearing that Tang Shuang finally started to speak, everyone concentrated, and even the impatient Ding Feng was deep in thought.

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 the human beings on the earth, then they 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 civilizations that visit the earth have a higher level of technology than humans. The key word here is technology. This brings us to the second question. The biggest driving force for the development of technology is What?"

This question is very abstract and very difficult to answer.

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

Tang Shuang smiled at her, neither right nor wrong.

Ding Ji said: "The accumulation of knowledge?"

Lu Mingyi also joined the rush to answer, and the third one answered: "Social environment."

Wei Daqun said: "Social needs."

Only Ding Feng didn't answer, he couldn't hold back his old face, and said: "Human inertia."

Tang Shuang was very satisfied with everyone's enthusiasm, and said: "In fact, everyone is right, but 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, but Lu Mingyi stopped him and said, "Listen to Tang Shuang first."

Tang Shuang: "We know that the knowledge reserves of individual human beings all have subjective biases, and they all have flaws of one kind or another. Therefore, only by closely exchanging information on a large scale can these flaws and errors be smoothed out, making it more real and objective. It can restore the true colors of things. Any advanced technology is based on the accumulation of complex knowledge, which is why modern science is so effective, because it has established a community with rigorous institutions.”

"These individuals exchanging information must be diverse enough to erase subjective prejudice, so freedom of thought is extremely important to a civilization. From what we know, the most tolerant and diverse era of a civilization is always Its most prosperous age."

"Like the Zerg in the movie, it is unlikely to exist. Even if it exists, it is harmless to other civilizations, because they cannot use technology to cross the limitations of time and space. The reason for this is because the individuals in the Zerg civilization have reached a high level. No matter how huge their group 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 stopped, waited for everyone to digest, and then heard Lu Mingyi say: "So, highly centralized politics is anti-intellectual politics."

This old man has a very sharp mind, and he immediately connected with the reality.
