MTL - Number One Player-Chapter 221 fish tank

I don't know why, when Shang Yinhe told the little story of this fish tank, he couldn't help but think of the strange eyes in the copy of [Distant Eye], and the fact that after [World Situation] ended, he fell asleep in the appraisal room The vast expanse of the universe seen in the middle of the year.

His intuition seemed to imply something to him, but when Shang Yinhe concentrated on thinking, it seemed that he couldn't think of anything.

He couldn't help frowning slightly, and re-combed the little fish tank story he had just told.

Although the story of this fish tank is a small rant about the time people are accustomed to the release of Jiuqu videos, in essence, it can be said to be an alternative mockery of scientific induction.

Scientific induction is the source of many modern scientific theories.

People sum up common natural phenomena and summarize the so-called truth. Whether Newton derived the three laws of force from experiments, or Kepler summed up the three laws of planetary motion from Tycho's observations, or more scientific discoveries, all originated from induction. Especially in the early days of science, almost everything was derived from induction.

The spirit of induction, the spirit of observing phenomena and summarizing laws, is also the foundation of modern scientific spirit.

However, as the fishbowl joke just now tells, the "natural phenomenon" on which induction is based is probably just an illusion.

We hold many things as truth and summarize them as "scientific laws", and many truth laws are the foundation of modern science. The most well-known example is the constant speed of light.

But maybe, these so-called truths, the so-called foundation of modern science, are just a handful of grains spilled by the fish tank feeding people?

The little story of the fish tank can be further evolved: the intelligent life in the fish tank, in order to make better use of the food in the fish tank, so they made heavy adaptations to the fact that food would appear at 7:00.

In terms of life adaptation, they will become clear-headed and refreshed at 7:00 every day, which is convenient for grabbing food; in terms of technological adaptation, they have invented a device that can efficiently absorb food at 7:00.

However, what if the person feeding the fish tank suddenly changed the feeding time from 7:00 to 9:00? Then, all those biological adaptations and devices are equivalent to all being scrapped.

Further, David Hume once put forward skepticism, pointing out the gap between cause and effect; Bertrand Russell once put forward the hypothesis about the inductivist turkey, telling the story of a time-feeding turkey ; "Three-Body Problem" mentions the archer hypothesis, which regards the random behavior of a three-dimensional sharpshooter as an iron law in a two-dimensional universe. These are all deductions from the fish tank story.

Fish tank, eye from afar, universe, dream...

Countless thoughts were intertwined, accompanied by the intuition of beating and restless prompts, making Shang Yinhe a little headache, he couldn't help but whispered the words softly: "Fish tank..."

"It doesn't matter if he is a fish tank or not," Mo Shiming's words interrupted Shang Yinhe's train of thought. "In short, Jiuqu delayed the release of his video, which really worries us. There are many people in our bureau every day. discussing this."

"Jiuqu is so powerful, do we still need to worry about him?" Shang Yinhe said with difficulty, pulling back his thoughts that had already flown endless kilometers away.

He somewhat reluctantly gave up on the intuitive idea of ​​"fish bowl".

Anyway, after redeeming the skill [Intuition Enhancement], his intuition often wants to remind him of something.

But every time, the intuition just called the police, but did not give a solution; every time Shang Yinhe thought about it, he couldn't think of the content of the prompt.

After thinking about it a few times, Shang Yinhe gave up exploring what his intuition was calling the police to him.

- Anyway, I can't think of anything.

—Or, he actually doesn’t want to think about it:

—If his vague guesses were indeed correct,

- If there is indeed a law in the entire universe that is something like "the owner of the fish tank puts food once a day at 7:00",

—If the scientific laws of human society are partly wrong in their foundations,

—Then, what about the future of mankind...

"Whether Jiuqu is strong and whether we need to worry about Jiuqu are two different things," Mu Shiming, a potential admirer of Jiuqu, immediately refuted Shang Yinhe's words, "Are we just because of Jiuqu? Looking so powerful, can he ignore all the hard work behind him, all the backlash he may bear, and all the hardships and obstacles?"

Shang Yinhe was dumbfounded.

Mu Shiming's words completely pulled him out of the intuition of the fish tank.

Shang Yinhe was a little helpless and moved. In the end, he could only say: "I believe that there is nothing wrong with Jiuqu, I believe him."

He also specially emphasized the last word "believe" to express his attitude.

To be honest, the delay of the video playback time this time has caused such a big disturbance around the world, which is indeed something that Shang Yinhe did not expect.

But on second thought, it all seems reasonable. After all, in the more than half a year after the mutation of High Swan Castle, Jiuqu used countless videos to establish his achievements and status, and also developed the habit of watching Jiuqu videos regularly for people all over the world.

It is said that even the news network of Huaguo is planning to change the time recently, so as not to collide with the video of Jiuqu every day - just because of the crisis of the third world war, the plan to change the time has been postponed. .

Under such circumstances, suddenly one day, Jiuqu did not post a video for two weeks in a row, and there was no announcement to explain it. It is no wonder that the world reacted greatly to this.

Shang Yinhe glanced at Mu Shiming hesitantly, and finally couldn't hold back, and asked the question he had always wanted to ask: "What kind of person do you think Jiuqu is?"

"Saint." Mu Shiming replied without hesitation.

This is an unsurprising answer.

After the Five Rainbow Miracle, Jiuqu became more and more revered as a living saint. People praised him in various languages, just like praising the gods who protect them. If Shang Yinhe really had the heart to collect the articles and words of praise and singing, then he might be immersed in the ocean of countless rainbow farts, and he would not be able to struggle.

However, upon hearing this answer, Shang Yinhe didn't know why he was a little disappointed.

He himself didn't know what answer he was expecting, but the answer of this "sage" really made his heart sink.

Shang Yinhe pursed his lips and smiled slightly self-deprecatingly: "Is that kind of puppet statue, a saint sitting on a throne?"

"No, no, I can't say that." Facing Shang Yinhe's question, Mu Shiming immediately came to an objection to Sanlian, and then, after thinking for a while, he replied, "Well, it should be... the kind of real A saint who lives in the world, but possesses boundless love and selfless dedication."

"Is there a difference?" Shang Yinhe couldn't help but ask.

"The difference is huge," Mo Shiming said. "Saints are high, but saints can't cry, laugh, and enjoy life?"

"Throughout the ages, all people who can be called saints have their own lives, and they are also normal sadness, pain, joy, and happiness," Mu Shiming explained his thoughts, "The same thing is that all saints , behind those normal emotions, there is a selfless, noble, dedicated heart."

"Confucius is like this, Laozi is like this, Mencius is like this, **** on the cross is like this, Tathagata under the Bodhi tree is like this," Mu Shiming said seriously, "Jiuqu should be like this. The essence of the saint, he should not be turned into a puppet in our eyes, he should be able to cry, laugh, be sad, and happy normally, just like the brave man in the "Super Age" series of videos, who will still do all kinds of challenges, I will still choose a different customs clearance method…”

"Is that so?" Shang Yinhe lowered his head, covered his face, and took a casual sip of rice.

"Of course it is." Mo Shiming laughed, with a gentle smile.

Shang Yinhe paused for a moment, then continued to eat his meal as if nothing had happened.

Only the chick on his shoulder looked at Mu Shiming, who was smiling mildly, and tilted his head slightly.

--------------------

After the meal, Shang Yinhe said goodbye to Mu Shiming and went to his dormitory.

During these two weeks, the whole world can be said to be very quiet.

Jiuqu did not publish a video;

The clearing front of the United Nations Guards is advancing steadily, with few major problems encountered;

Research in the scientific research community is still in progress, and various research institutes are in a state of secrecy. So far, no shocking invention has been announced worldwide;

The big capital and consortiums are constantly holding various parties and drinking parties, forming unstable alliances in the process of mutual testing and secret conversations;

The number of Transcendents is gradually increasing, and some slight changes seem to be brewing in the entire group...

In general, in the past two weeks, although there have been small twists and turns, although the changes in life have been going on, and although the discussion of Jiuqu not posting the video has remained high, but from the overall situation, everything is calm. .

However, all of this is like the last calm before the storm...

It is now exactly mid-May, the time of late spring and early summer, when light rains are frequent. Yong Liang's sky was dark at this time, as if a thunderstorm was brewing in it.

Shang Yinhe walked to the window of the dormitory, pushed open the window, and let the surging wind blow his hair.

This time, he made a sudden trip to China from the war situation in the Middle East, not just to get an honorary professor appointment letter of Yongliang Transcendental Academy, nor just to chat with Mo Shiming, but...

But to wait for a very critical moment to come.

In the game of [World Wind and Cloud], this moment is the key point of many changes since then, and it is also the fuse that detonated the turbulent undercurrent.

He wanted to witness all of this for himself, to witness this moment that everyone now thinks is very ordinary, but is destined to leave a big mark in the history books.

The surging wind brought the voices of countless people.

The perception of the small map was fully released, covering all buildings above and below within a thousand miles.

Finally, Shang Yinhe located the sound he wanted from the countless noises.

That was the voice of Lu Yanchi and his team.

In his perception, the densely packed army guards have protected the buildings where Lu Yanchi and his team are located, to the point that "even flies can't fly in" - after all, no one in the modern military is unmanned. The reconnaissance plane can indeed be made the size of a fly, and this kind of bug must be wiped out.

Countless people are walking around this most heavily guarded building, hurriedly following the rehearsed steps, doing what they should do, and their movements are extremely skilled, one can tell that they have rehearsed several times in advance.

Slowly, fewer people walked around. One after another, under the supervision of the security team, they left the factory building. Some people waited outside, and some people walked into the main control room and began to stare at the monitors with anxiety.

Finally, the time pointed to 6:00 pm China time.

"Check completed..."

"The temperature has reached a critical value..."

"The current reaches a critical value..."

"Fuel injection complete..."

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"start up!"

In Shang Yinhe's perception, Lu Yanchi, the experiment host, solemnly pressed the button on the console.

After that, countless spiritual stones lit up like flames, dyeing the entire factory building a bright red color...
