After rebirth, I became a great writer.

Chapter 217 Human Nature and Science
(Tomorrow afternoon is limited to free! If you are not in a hurry, you can watch it for free tomorrow!)
There is poetry and calligraphy in the stomach, and there is a gully in the chest, so don't be scolded.
The three people in the conference room are rivals at chess, they will meet good talents, and they have been fighting for a long time without a winner.

In the end, they saw the strange gazes cast by the other review teachers, as well as their eagerness to fight, and they reluctantly died down.

"Ahem! Don't tell anyone about what happened just now! That...everyone hurry up and review the manuscript! Get ready before noon!"

Hong Tao coughed dryly twice, his old face flushed slightly.

But it was only in the first half of the sentence. When it came to the second half of the sentence, his face had returned to normal, and the majesty of the department head was still there.

"Director Hong, we have almost reviewed the manuscripts. Here are more than 100 manuscripts selected by us. You can review them again!"

An elegant-looking middle-aged man with glasses got up and said.

His name is Lu Kai, the teacher Lu that Xia Lian mentioned.

While talking, he also collected the manuscripts reviewed by other teachers, put them in a big cardboard box, and held them in front of Hong Tao.

"It's hard work! Everyone has worked hard!"

Hong Tao nodded, and divided the manuscripts in the carton into three equally.

"Mr. Lu, what else do you need?"

Hong Tao, who had divided the manuscripts, saw that Lu Kai had no intention of leaving, so he asked doubtfully.

"Director Hong, there are quite a lot of manuscripts for re-examination. You, Deputy Director Ma, and Teacher Li must review for a while. Look, let's take a look at that manuscript first."

Lu Kai pointed to the manuscript placed between the three of them's desks and said, his words undoubtedly expressed the aspirations of all the examiners.

After hearing this sentence, regardless of whether there were manuscripts in hand that required preliminary review, all the review teachers in the conference room looked at Hong Tao's position, to be precise, at that special manuscript.

You know, they are all teachers!
The "Rural Teacher" written by Chen Tianhong in the last competition made everyone present feel respected.

Judging from the performance of old man Li, this time's novel may be written by a teacher, even if not, who would refuse a beautiful article?

"Need not!"

Hong Tao and the three of them unified their voices this time and stood in the same camp.

"Mr. Lu, you go and do your work first, and we'll come over as soon as possible. Ma, let's review it first, and finalize the work that will be submitted to the headquarters of the Writers Association."

Hong Tao's attitude was very firm. They had to read Chen Tianhong's manuscript before giving it to others!
However, the audit work still needs to be completed first, so he thought about it comprehensively and decided not to argue, let old man Li read it first.

"Lao Li, go ahead! Hurry up! There are so many manuscripts to be reviewed."

Deputy Director Ma also added a sentence, pointing to old man Li after what he said.

But old man Li didn't even reply at all. He took back the manuscript and started to read the follow-up plot.

Although Lu Kai was unwilling, the director had spoken, and old man Li had a temper. Hong Tao and the others could snatch the manuscript, but he didn't dare to snatch it.

In desperation, Lu Kai had no choice but to return to his own place, but there were still several hours before the submission time, and the time could still come, it was just earlier or later.

"I need to keep my emotions in check"

While turning a new page, old man Li thought so in his heart.

Hong Tao said to let him read it, but if he didn't control his emotions later, they would grab it if he couldn't keep it. After all, no one can guarantee people's curiosity.

However, old man Li just read the title of the final chapter, and his heart fell to the bottom in an instant. The good expectations after reading the middle chapter were like the soap bubbles described in the article, shattered.

The final chapter is also called the next chapter: [Rebellion]

The specific plot of the story may not be predictable from these two words, but it will definitely not be what old man Li expected.

"What on earth does this kid want to do! Could it be that he really wants to end in tragedy! Isn't hope better than despair?"

Old man Li didn't even want to continue reading the next chapter. To be honest, he was a little panicked. He was afraid of seeing the failure of the "Wandering Earth" project and the demise of the human beings in the book.
If the stories in the first and second chapters have always been cold and without any hope, then that’s fine. After all, if you don’t have expectations, you won’t be disappointed.

What I fear most is that you already have hope in your heart, but this hope is shattered in an instant. This is undoubtedly the cruelest thing.

Old man Li looked at the human beings in the article, and ran towards the universe with his home planet Earth.
The kind of perseverance that does not know what the future will look like, but in order to survive and for the sake of future generations, but has to forge ahead with a little hope.
It was so distressing to read.

But no matter how much disappointment these two words have brought to old man Li at this moment, the final story has to continue to be read, just like the human beings in the article, the reality is cruel, and life must continue.

Out of Jupiter's tug, Earth's more than 1 plasma engines cranked up to full power and wouldn't stop for the next 500 years.

Even in this era, plasma technology has far exceeded the level of four centuries ago, and the fuel utilization rate can reach 100%, but the time span is too long.

So in 500 years, half of the mountains on the Asian continent will be used for fuel consumption, and may even include the world's first mountain, Mount Everest.

Human beings have paid a heavy price for this escape. The once beautiful blue planet has become a desert like Mars!

However, as long as the "Wandering Earth" project is successful, all this is worth it, and even the human beings in the article are reveling, freed from the fear of death for more than four centuries.

Because the earth has begun to fly to the star of hope, they are also far away from the "old sun".

"Could it be true that you just answered such a sentence, extreme joy begets sorrow?"

Seeing that the human beings in the article began to prepare for the carnival celebration in order to celebrate the earth's departure from the solar system, old man Li muttered.

His performance just now is a typical example of extreme joy begets sorrow.
However, when he continued to read, the book did not describe the human carnival, and the celebration was over before it even started.

Even what happened next was beyond everyone's imagination. This imagination is not only about them in the book, but also old man Li!

During the period when the earth entered the accelerated era, the protagonist's wife was often restless for some reason. This is not postpartum depression, on the contrary, she is very rational!
She began to study some academic experiments, and often chose to travel alone in a flying car, even leaving her children alone.

Until one day, the protagonist asked, but his wife didn’t say anything immediately, but drove the flying car again, taking the protagonist to the Western Hemisphere.

The sun can still be seen in the western hemisphere, but it is not as big as the previous great disk, because the earth is moving away from it.

Now it looks only the size of a baseball, and the light it emits is also weak, cold light!
very lonely
Next, the wife took out an astronomical telescope and aimed it at the sun for the protagonist to see.

The protagonist saw the sun magnified hundreds of times through the colored lens, but did not find anything strange.

So the wife connected the telescope to the computer in the car to collect the current image of the sun, and then she called up another image of the sun, this image is the image of the sun four centuries ago.

Using a computer to compare the two images, she came up with a theory, one that sent chills down the spine.

【Gayoko pointed to the screen and said: "Their brightness, pixel arrangement, pixel probability, hierarchical statistics and other parameters are all exactly the same!"】

"Exactly the same. Exactly the same! This... this, can't it be a shocking scam! My God, isn't this a science fiction novel, but rather"

Old man Li's back is not just cold, but his scalp is numb.

He hastily turned to the first page, reconfirmed the four words behind the theme of "The Wandering Earth", and after confirming that it was written in a science fiction novel, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Maybe I think too much, and the protagonist's wife also thinks too much. It is still a few years before the time of the big explosion of the sun calculated by scientists, and the time has not yet arrived."

The protagonist in the book quickly regained his senses after being astonished. His wife’s equipment is all amateur, and the computer’s image processing program is also very low-end, and she is not a professional scientific researcher.
The protagonist chooses to believe in the predictions of scientists, but he does not believe that there will always be people who will believe them. Even on the way back, he saw many people like them driving flying cars and doing research on the sun with telescopes.

In the days that followed, a terrifying story spread like wildfire around the world.
The "Traffic Earth" project is a conspiracy, a super scam, and the insidious ambition of those politicians in the coalition government.

They fabricated the story of the catastrophe of the sun, betrayed the mother planet of the earth, and betrayed human civilization for centuries, just to establish their dictatorial empire and satisfy their selfish desires!
At the beginning, this kind of conspiracy theory was only spread on a small scale. After all, most of the human beings in this era are still rational and believe in science like the protagonist.

However, people have two sides, both good and evil, one half is a Buddha, the other half is a demon, whether to turn left or right, only in one thought.
Even though they have received higher education and abandoned many emotions, they are still human beings, not intelligent machines, and if they are human, they have bad roots.
Three people become tigers, and one mouth makes money. Coupled with the guidance of the "Spaceship School" caring people, more and more people gradually believe in conspiracy theories.

As an authoritative non-governmental organization also launched a group of probes towards the sun, the data finally confirmed the fact that the sun has not changed at all, it is as warm as before four worlds ago
People are angry, they were deceived by insidious politicians, the anger generated by this deception is even greater than the destructive power of anti-matter bombs!

Just think about it, if the sun didn't explode, and there was no so-called "wandering earth" plan, they must be bathing in the warm sunshine and enjoying a comfortable life now, how could they be wandering alone in the universe
This mood is like a classic line in a movie in the previous life.

One day, you took your wife, took a train, ate hot pot and sang songs, and suddenly you were told that the sun was going to explode and the earth was going to be destroyed
Then you donated everything in a panic, and gave everything you could, and lived a precarious life of wandering, just to survive, but finally found out that it was a shocking scam
What will happen to you?

You savor!

I think we will make the same choice as them, pick up guns, join the rebel army, and fight desperately with insidious politicians.

Thus, the battle broke out like this!
For the sake of safety, the protagonist and his wife sent their children to the parenting center, and then the two saw a parade on the way home. Someone was distributing weapons to civilians. I didn't reply.

Since the child was sent away, the bond that maintained their relationship has disappeared, and the romance of the two of them crossing the Pacific Ocean hand in hand has long been forgotten, and the only thing left in the wife's heart is the flame of revenge.
And the protagonist just stared blankly at the back of his wife going away. He didn't stop or accompany him. He is a descendant of a soldier. His grandfather and father are all soldiers of the "Earth faction".

It is impossible for the protagonist to join the rebel army, this has nothing to do with trusting the government, because he is also shaken!

It's the soldier's mission and grandparent's glory that keeps him from betraying the government
He tightly clutched the medal that his father bought with his life and loyalty. The sharp corner of the medal pierced his hand, but the blood that flowed out was cold.
The protagonist eventually joins the army of the coalition government, which means that he and his wife have since turned from husband and wife into enemies.

Husband and wife are originally birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disasters arise. No matter how beautiful love is, it may not be worth the cruelty of reality. What's more, in this era, love is the most extravagant and most useless thing.
"Ugh!"

When he saw this, old man Li sighed, and rubbed the manuscript unconsciously with his palms. This is his habit, and he would subconsciously make this action whenever he fell into deep thought.

At this moment, old man Li is also thinking, if the protagonist in the book is replaced by himself, what choice will he make?

Do you choose to believe in the government, believe in scientists, or choose to believe in the rumors that people say that he is a highly educated person, and he will definitely believe in science unconditionally.

But old man Li is from the perspective of a reader, and he is also in a peaceful age, so he thinks so.

If he is really in the same situation as the human beings in the book, can he still maintain his sanity as before? It's really hard to say.

We all know that the results of scientific calculations are authoritative and rational!

But you have to understand that no matter how advanced our technology is, even to the extent that humans can move the planet like in the book, there will still be people who are unwilling to believe in science and would rather agree with non-professional conclusions.

This is because scientific data is rigid and ruthless. If the calculated results are positive, everyone's sense of identity will be much higher.

But if it is on the negative side, many people do not want this result to come true. Even if they cannot deny it, they subconsciously hope that these data are biased and false.

And as soon as there is any indication that those results are unreliable, they will jump out and expand this illusion and find all kinds of evidence to prove it!
In this way, if one spreads ten, ten spreads one hundred, one word makes one gold. Rumors are no longer rumors, they are results that are more real than science.

In such a big environment, no one can guarantee that they will always be steadfast, because human beings will yearn for good results, and no one can refuse this temptation.

The human beings in the book are like this. If the conspiracy theory is true, they can return to the solar system and return to the good life before.

"Old man Li, have you finished reading?"

Seeing that old man Li hadn't turned the page for a long time, Hong Tao asked, but he had been waiting for that, and even the speed of reviewing the manuscript was much slower.

"Oh! Not yet! Soon"

Old man Li woke up from his contemplation. He temporarily suppressed his doubts and thoughts, and planned to think about human nature and science after reading it.

The war is sweeping the world. While blocking the rebels, the coalition government issued an announcement to advise everyone to calm down and not to blindly believe rumors.

It is said that rumors stop with the wise, but in fact there are two more sentences in the back, they start with the fools and start with the schemers!
It cannot be said that all the masses are stupid, but they cannot stand up to the speeches and incitement of those caring people from the "Spaceship School".

They say that human beings have been deceived by evil scientists, and our relatives and friends who have died have all paid in vain.
The coalition government wants to establish a dictatorship and threaten us with the theory of solar catastrophe, turning us into "robots" who obey orders and only obey orders.
Their war is not rebellion, but to save the mother planet and save human civilization.

Under such instigation, the war is almost one-sided, and even the coalition government's troops have retreated one after another.

The war lasted a total of three months. In fact, this time can be advanced, because neither side used large weapons, and they were afraid of damaging the earth's engine. This is unacceptable to both sides.

However, the war will always end. In the end, there are only more than 5000 people left by the coalition government to guard the Earth Engine Control Center and guard this holy place that all human beings yearned for.

These more than 5000 people include the main members of the government, including the highest consul, ordinary but loyal private soldiers, and scientists who implement the "Wandering Earth" project
The rebel army surrounded them, and the protagonist was also inside. At the last moment, he also believed that "The Wandering Earth" was a hoax, and his wife Kayoko had been killed in a certain battle, and now he is full of hatred.

In the control room, for the first time, the rebels saw the bridge of the earth, which was the focus of all human beings. The scene inside was enough to shock everyone, and they also felt the insignificance of human beings in the universe.
That's when the top executive of the coalition government stepped forward, he said.

In fact, they can fight to the end, and it can even be said that they have a chance to win. They still have a secret weapon that they haven't used. This weapon will cause the earth's engine to lose control, so they decided to surrender.
Executives say they understand everyone.

Since the implementation of the "Wandering Earth" project, it has been carried out for forty generations, four centuries, and this plan will continue for a hundred generations. Under the cruel reality, it is a luxury to expect everyone to maintain their sanity.

He asked everyone to remember all this, they are not afraid of death, because they persisted in their beliefs to the end, the only regret is that they will not see the day when the truth will be verified.

In the end they were sentenced to death!
The last words of the executive officer left in this world are:
[If human beings can continue for generations, all people will shed their tears in front of our tombs. This planet called Earth is our eternal monument! 】

After seeing the victory of the rebel army, old man Li's mood did not fluctuate, as expected!
Seeing that the protagonist also betrayed the belief in his heart in the end, the mood swings are not too big, because it is indeed a luxury to expect human beings to remain rational forever.

Then he saw the magnificent and shocking design in the earth control room, the huge holographic image of the solar system, and the route of the earth's voyage in the universe. His expression became serious.

If the "Wandering Earth" plan is really a hoax, then everything in front of us would not exist!

Is the control room, which took dozens of generations of human wisdom and sacrifice to build, just for dictatorship?
That's a big joke!
In the end, old man Li saw what the top executive said, and he finally couldn't control his emotions. To be exact, he lost his composure again!

He believes that what the executive said is true, and that secret weapons do exist, after all, the top scientists are among them.

They chose to surrender in order to allow more people to survive, including the "Wandering Earth" plan to allow human beings to survive. As long as the goal can be achieved, what is the sacrifice of more than 5000 of them?

As for being infamous, it is nothing, because they believe that one day the facts will prove everything. The reason why the truth is called the truth is because it often takes a long time to verify.
They are the truly rational people, the ones who truly believe in science!

And the words of the executive officer undoubtedly expressed one of the main ideas of "The Wandering Earth"!

When complex human nature meets scientific rationality, what will be the result?
The result has been given in the article. When human nature meets science, they will fail if they stand on the side of science, because they are rational, and rationality means that they will not fall into madness.

But is their persistence wrong?

Of course not, no matter whether science and technology are evil or not, no matter whether the Wandering Earth Project is really a scam, if the ultimate goal of human beings is not to maintain humanity, but to reproduce, then science and technology are not evil.

The whole article of "The Wandering Earth" reveals this kind of cruel and pessimistic rationalism. And it is thought-provoking!
Old man Li fell into deep thought again, which is also a state that everyone who has read this novel will fall into.

It's just that the story is not over yet, but old man Li can't see it for the time being, and the manuscript in his hand was taken away by Hong Tao again.

This time, old man Li didn't get up to fight for it. In fact, he already knew the ending. After reading what the executive officer said, he already understood it!
That would be a great irony!
ps: This is the end of the original story, the next chapter will have an ending, and the plot of this novel!The original text consumes a little more pen and ink, and I have added a lot of thinking. I hope everyone can understand it!
This is not hydrology. If you really want hydrology, it is much easier for me to write than this!I don't recommend you to watch the original "The Wandering Earth". If you want to watch it, you'd better watch the movie. The movie is still warm. (It’s stuck, there is no charge for this section!)
