Time: Prime time at eight o'clock in the evening on November 15, 149 AD
"People used to ask me all the time what science fiction is."
"Oh? Then how did you explain it to them?"
"Let me tell you, science fiction is all about big ships, cannons, explosions, various exoskeletons, mechas, tactical destruction weapons and equipment, etc. These are what the public compares
A familiar and popular form of science fiction." The guest was a middle-aged man with a beard, his name was Hao Guangyi, a famous writer and one of the important members of the Reflector School.
Hao Guangyi was dressed very casually. He knew he was doing a show today and didn't dress up very carefully, but he gave people a very friendly feeling.
The host is still Li Lili. After so many years, Li Lili not only has not aged, but has become more beautiful. Of course, this is not because she is good at taking care of herself, but because she accepted the transformation of the Shenqi clan three years ago. Intelligence
The sample has been uploaded to the core of the central rappel. Now this body is just like clothes. She can change her style at any time.
"Well, yes...but I think you must have a particularly deep understanding of science fiction, right?"
Hao Guangyi waved his hand after hearing the words: "It's not profound at all. It's just that I have a big brain and look at things from a strange angle."
Li Lili smiled. She was one of Hao Guangyi's fans. Naturally, she would not think that Hao Guangyi was deliberately being self-effacing, so she asked: "Then can you share your understanding of science fiction with all of us?"
Hao Guangyi pondered for a while and then looked at the hundreds of spectators with a smile.
"Do you want to hear it?"
Most of these spectators were randomly selected passers-by, but they were also very cooperative.
"think."
Hao Guangyi nodded: "Okay, but before that, I would like to ask the host to do me a favor, is that okay?"
"certainly."
Hao Guangyi looked up at the roof of the live broadcast room. This is a live broadcast structure built by the world's top team. Naturally, all the equipment is available, and they are all the most advanced.
After confirming this, Hao Guangyi said: "Can the host please open the mimetic vision and let us take a look at the sky of Erub without lights at night?"
This requirement is not an exaggeration, it can even be said to be too easy.
Li Lili immediately notified the backstage, and soon the curtain device at the top of the live broadcast room was activated. After a while, under the rendering of the central core, not only the roof of the live broadcast room disappeared, but also the surrounding walls.
Everyone seems to be sitting on the quiet prairie at this moment, feeling the most authentic beauty of the world.
The entire rendering process only took one minute.
After the rendering is completed, in order to create a more realistic rendering environment, the live broadcast room
The department’s submorphic environment simulation system has also been launched.
The temperature begins to drop, the breeze slowly blows, and the original scent of grass and trees fills the air.
Hao Guangyi was sincerely impressed by the immersive environment created by this top-notch equipment.
He nodded and said with a smile: "If I really fell asleep just now, I'm afraid I would be shocked when I wake up."
Li Lili smiled and said nothing, and the audience also laughed heartily. Obviously, everyone rarely has access to such a realistic environment simulation. After all, it is illegal to use these special equipment outside the live broadcast room.
After sighing for a while, Hao Guangyi stood up and came to the stage, looked at the grass under his feet, looked up at the sky, and said: "Actually, I have always felt that science fiction is a very simple thing. If you feel the same as me, then
Just look up at the sky and you'll understand that science fiction doesn't need too many fancy things to express it, at least that's what I think."
As he spoke, Hao Guangyi looked at the audience: "What do you think?"
The randomly selected audiences here have different cultural levels and different worldviews and values.
Therefore, after listening to Hao Guangyi's words, some people were thoughtful, some were convinced, and of course, there were also some who were confused and dismissive.
After looking around at the crowd, Hao Guangyi continued: "What I just said may be a little abstract and not easy to understand, but you might as well think about it from another angle. Let's take the big ships and cannons that everyone is familiar with and admired in commercialization as an example.
, don’t you think this form of expression is actually very primitive and backward?”
Everyone was puzzled.
Li Lili didn't respond, so she asked, "Can you explain it to me in more detail?"
Hao Guangyi nodded, then tapped on his wrist.
With the help of the second-generation listening heart in his body, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the originally silent grassland.
The audience looked back in panic, and saw a group of prairie cavalry roaring towards them. Judging from their clothes, they were dressed like nomads from the Xinwang era, that is, the group of early leaders of Queen Zansbol who retained the oldest
Nomad style.
Although the horses they rode were not the kind that humans were familiar with on earth, the cavalry style still made people feel ancient instantly.
Looking at this cavalry, Hao Guangyi said: "I have always been interested in cavalry, because they once represented the top military power of mankind, whether it was Genghis Khan in the Earth period or Zansbol in the Xinwang period.
Relying on his iron cavalry, he galloped around the world and built a kingdom of his own."
As Hao Guangyi finished speaking, the cavalry had already arrived behind the audience.
The leader among them also drove his horse forward and came to Hao Guangyi.
Although these are all artificial illusions, apart from the fact that it cannot be touched with hands, there is no difference between this horse and a real creature.
Every detail and every breath is so real.
Hao Guangyi couldn't help but want to raise his hand to touch it.
But it dodged and walked aside to stand next to Li Lili.
Followed Hao Guangyi and said: "Everyone should know that the Xinwang era was an era when a hundred schools of thought contended and science and technology took off. It was almost impossible to use ancient cavalry to establish a dynasty of your own at that time, but because of the Zansbol family
The transformation of the cavalry finally won them their own living space."
As he spoke, Hao Guangyi walked over, pointed at the cavalry on horseback and said: "This armor looks very old, but in fact it is an improved version of the second generation exoskeleton. It is not only more convenient, but also better for horseback riding."
battle, but... no matter how good the horse is, it can't match the chariots and tanks made of steel. Therefore, the Zansbol family has genetically enhanced the horses under their cavalry. It can be said that these horses are human beings.
This is the first genetically enhanced weapon that has been put into actual combat use since arriving on Gaia."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Obviously, everyone did not know much about the origin of the Zansbol Empire.
"Although they are made of flesh and blood, they can withstand attacks from thought pistols. Coupled with reasonable tactics and the fearless fighting style of the Zansbol nomads, they once made those who wanted to invade the prairie flee.
"Hao Guangyi said and raised his hand again. This time the war horse did not move away. But when his hand touched the war horse, it disappeared and the grassland returned to tranquility.
The excitement on Hao Guangyi's face gradually turned into a bitter smile.
"But...as I said at the beginning, science fiction is a very simple thing. It does not need fancy things, and it has always been ahead of us, living in our untouchable imagination." Hao Guangyi said and sighed.
He said: "Just like these cavalry, when humans first learned to use tools and knew how to use obsidian to make sharp blades, these cavalry were god-like existences. They were the products of science fiction in the eyes of the indigenous people.
Nowadays, the weapons held by our soldiers are unimaginable to Genghis Khan, and these things are science fiction enough for them.
But if the natives had never seen cavalry, what kind of science fiction would they have created in their minds?
Do you think of cavalry? Do you think of spaceships?
Genghis Khan already had firearms and cannons during his time, but the level of firearms development at that time was limited. Bows and crossbows were still the most powerful weapons and equipment, and cavalry was still the most advanced military force. So, did Genghis Khan think that one day a nuclear bomb could destroy him?
Where did he kill all the cavalry under his command?
The answer is obvious... they can't imagine it, because the times have restricted their thinking, and the limitations of cognition have restricted their imagination.
And looking at the future from today's position, look at the science fiction in our eyes.
What's the difference between us?
It is nothing more than sending the ship that was once floating in the ocean to the larger pond of the Milky Way, and then rowing in the Milky Way with the paddle made of the warp engine.
And in those interstellar battles with outstanding visual effects and shocking images, two motherships fired guns at each other. What is the difference between these scenes and the pirates in the Caribbean thousands of years ago who fired guns at each other?
If science fiction is these things, then with all due respect, we are no different from the aborigines."
After Hao Guangyi finished speaking, he silently walked back to his seat and sat down. With a smile on his face, he turned on the kettle and took a slow drink of water.
However, the audience in the audience and Li Lili on the stage felt that their three views had been subverted.
yes……
If science fiction means sailing a ship to the Milky Way and then sailing in the Milky Way, what is the difference between it and the indigenous people?
The scientific and technological achievements that we are proud of are dazzling at this moment. Perhaps when the next era comes, what will be left to us in the future is just a "classic past".
