Looking at the reports on the show, Yang Di roughly understood three major events that happened recently.
First, the live broadcast titled "Rethinking the Catalytic Scientific Process" in which he co-starred has been clicked more than 1.5 billion times.
The impact of this live broadcast exceeded Yang Di's imagination. The original differences in various places were resolved a lot, and the originally niche introspectors labeled as "radicals" were also recognized and valued.
In less than five hours after the program was broadcast, Yang Di received a total of 970,000 emails from different people in different regions around the world, and the number is still growing. After filtering and sorting by the intelligent core,
These emails are divided into three categories.
The first category is application. A group of consciousness groups have been awakened. They are looking forward to joining the array of reflectors, or in other words, they are willing to become volunteers who are willing to reflect and contribute to the new era of mankind.
Faced with this type of email, Yang Di was both happy and sad. What he was happy about was that the efforts of the order maintainers represented by Han Kongwen were correct, and the public's thinking was beginning to show signs of awakening, but the sad reason was also the same.
Because of the existence of order maintainers like Han Kongwen, his reflection was restricted.
Indeed, in a subsequent conversation between Yang Di and Han Kongwen, Han Kongwen said this about Yang Di.
"You are very thoughtful, but you are not a worldly strong person. You have no desire to win and lose, and you are obsessed with pure thinking. This is good. I admire your talent very much! But you should not ignore the inevitable maliciousness in the world itself.
, you can say what you want, but you should also be aware that people in the world may not be able to understand it in good faith."
This comment made Yang Di reflect on it for a long time. He began to understand, but also began to fear. Because the more he understood, the slower his reflection became, or the heavier the sense of restraint became.
"If life is a seed, it should be stepped into the soil. Only darkness and filth can allow you to take root and grow. The deeper you go in the darkness, the higher and more beautiful the sky will be."
This passage was given to Yang Di by his mentor Qin Yongsheng when he graduated.
Does Yang Di understand?
Of course...but he couldn't avoid the reality in his heart that he couldn't accept the darkness...
That's why his mother said to Yang Di before she died.
"Qicheng, don't always act like a child. I'm afraid they will harm you, but you don't know how cruel they are. If you really can't accept it, then learn to be silent."
Is this sentence feasible?
Yang Di made a choice on the road of destiny, whether to live in silence or die in reflection, and he chose the latter.
Unexpectedly, after meeting Han Kongwen, he had a third choice.
Although this choice was not his decision.
But Yang Di finally understood something.
"Life is a choice, even when there is only one option, to choose or not to choose..."
With a deep sigh, Yang Di walked to the window, looked out at the night city, and stared at the lights that were still shining like waves...
"Dad!" After an unknown amount of time, a clear voice brought Yang Di's thoughts back to reality.
He turned around quickly and picked up his daughter.
"Why are you still not sleeping so late?" Yang Di's wife also came over. She got up and took her daughter to the bathroom, but saw her husband still standing in the room.
Yang Di smiled apologetically, rubbed his daughter's gentle face, and coaxed her.
"Little Ling'er, why don't you go to bed first? Once you've had enough sleep, daddy will take you to the amusement park tomorrow!"
The little girl hugged Yang Di's neck and said softly: "No, I want daddy to accompany me."
The little baby who was only two and a half years old started acting like a spoiled child, and Yang Di couldn't refuse.
He walked over, took his wife's hand, and the family of three entered the bedroom.
After coaxing his daughter to sleep, Yang Di lay next to his wife and looked at her sleeping face, but still couldn't fall asleep peacefully.
Because the second class email conveyed some very profound issues.
This question refers to the "Dark Forest Law" that Professor Park showed to the world during the official live broadcast that night. In this law, the universe is described as an eerie desert, and human beings are like ignorant babies. It is warning the world at the same time
, it also has a negative impact in a certain sense.
As a result, many people asked Yang Di questions.
"Are humans really that weak?"
“Is it really impossible for all civilizations in the universe to live in harmony and co-prosperity?”
"Is rejecting the era of interstellar civilization itself also a retrogression of civilization, or is it closed-mindedness? It may seem like humility, but it is actually a decent excuse for mankind to not make progress, right?"
For many people, these problems are too complicated, or too far away. But after the end of earth civilization and the beginning of the new era on Gaia, as a continuation of the Fire Origin Project, we humans can really continue to ignore these problems.
?
The answer is no, because during that live broadcast, many people had woken up, and they began to raise their heads and look through the dome curtains at the real vast starry sky.
At this time, the law of the dark forest is like a shadow cast on the human heart, making us alert, but also making us feel fearful and powerless.
Yang Di felt even more deeply about this.
He is the author of "The Theory of Scientific Shackles". He mentioned in the article that there is an upper limit to existing human science. Based on basic limitations, human civilization may only have an upper limit of 100, but it is in the process of infinitely approaching this upper limit.
He started to feel complacent.
And what limits the progress of civilization is never insignificance, but pride!
That's why Yang Di wrote this book and wrote thought-provokingly,
"If the upper limit of human science is 100, then we will be arrogant when it reaches 99. Then I can tell you that Kui's upper limit may be 10,000. They only need to reach 101 to easily destroy us! So, we have never
We defeated Kui, because in Kui's eyes, we are not enemies, because we are insignificant!"
This passage was originally reviled by many people as "shit" that "slanders" human science!
Yang Di is just a nerd who wants to insult the sacred science when he writes!
However... now, these voices are no longer, replaced by the above-mentioned questions.
"Are humans really that weak?"
Yang Di's inner answer was "no".
In his view, there is a relativity in everything, including the weak. If we look at the continuity of human civilization, from the end of the earth's civilization to the rekindling of Gaia's civilization, mankind has stepped out of interstellar civilization.
The first step, but this step that feels forced still contains a lot of immaturity.
So Yang Di's real answer was to add, "Not weak, but we do need to learn humility and respect."
When he thought of this, Yang Di's reflection paused because he knew how to answer these three questions.
"Humility, and respect."
To whom should I be humble? To whom should I respect you?
Nature is the "Kui" who, despite surpassing human beings at all levels, is still full of curiosity about human beings and explores them humbly.
As for the third category...
Yang Di took a deep breath and closed his eyes tiredly...
