Chapter 219 Two Hypotheses
A huge flaw in the previous rumors about Mu Bai was that Mu Bai had no time to travel back and forth to Qi.

But Mu Bai suddenly admitted that he had been to Qi country, no matter in the live broadcast room or in the studio, everyone was very surprised.

Mu Bai seemed to turn a blind eye to the students' surprise, and only said to Tao Daixi who was slightly surprised: "Your reaction is too exaggerated."

He took another sip of tea before saying, "I really want to go, but I never had the chance.

"What I mean by 'been there' is that I have a relatively deep understanding of Qi State from Di Caiwei's mouth. If I have the chance, I will definitely go to Qi State to see it."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It is still live broadcast, so Mu Bai will not really tell the truth. He still has to consider everyone's feelings.

At the same time, he saw everyone's reaction in his eyes, and said to himself: "Even if they can understand that there is nothing hateful about the people of Qi, they still have great prejudices against Qi and the people of Qi. This kind of prejudice is a little bit... There is no hurry to eliminate it.”

Tao Daixi was a little disappointed: "From other people's accounts, you have the feeling that you have been to Qi State?"

"It depends on how you ask," Mu Bai said with a smile: "Didn't you just say that I am good at chatting? As long as you ask in the right direction, you can easily outline the appearance of Qi in your mind."

"Then what does Qi look like in your mind?"

"It doesn't make any sense what I say now. There are a lot of things that people won't believe." Mu Bai didn't intend to waste his time on this: "When my reputation is higher and I have enough fans, I will use live broadcast to gather people together." The country goes full circle.

"When the time comes, everyone will see it for themselves, and it will be more credible than what I say. The best way to test the truth is to actually see it."

This is Mu Bai's plan after he came back from Qi.

But before that, there is a lot of preparatory work that needs to be done. First, I have to accumulate enough popularity. Second, I need to spread the concept of "all men are created equal" in advance, and then I have to wait for a suitable time.

"This idea is very good and courageous." Tao Daixi praised.

Mu Bai smiled and said: "What kind of courage does this require? Qi people are not infectious. If you come into contact with them, you can be "infected" and become Qi people. It will only be a more meaningful trip. There is really no need to be afraid of them. .”

"As for the issue of the people of Qi, I will publish it carefully and try my best to make everyone realize the loopholes in their thinking." Tao Daixi changed the topic:
"Let's talk about technology again. In your opinion, what role should technology occupy?"

Mu Bai thought about it for a moment before saying: "Literature and art allow us to better understand ourselves, and technology allows us to know what we can do. Literature and art are the cognition of thoughts and spiritual levels, and technology is the cognition of the universe and reality.

"The two complement each other, not to say what my concept should be, but the two are indeed inseparable. We cannot only live in the world of thought, nor can we only live in the real world.

"It's going to have a huge impact on our understanding of ourselves and our world."

Mu Bai folded his arms, organized his words and said: "The progress of our entire ethnic group is to make the elements of these two aspects twist together, and the combined force formed will push us forward."

"Your thoughts seem to be more profound than before." Tao Daixi sighed.

“I had similar ideas before,” Mu Bai smiled, “It’s just that I couldn’t form a structure yet.

"When I kept thinking in this direction, I found that literature and art and technology cannot be treated as two different things. They involve all aspects of our lives and should be in harmony. There is no need to forcefully separate them.

"We need to be more pragmatic than we are now. Otherwise, there are many traps in the spiritual world. If we are not careful, we will fall into the trap and cannot extricate ourselves."

"A trap in the spiritual world?" Tao Daixi immediately became interested: "Can you talk about this in detail?"

"Let me give you two examples." Mu Bai was already prepared on this topic: "The so-called spiritual world trap, first of all, is that there is a difference between 'thinking' and reality, and the reality you think of may not be realized.

"For example, if there is a turtle crawling in the yard in the direction of the courtyard entrance, I want to chase the turtle.

“So theoretically, if I want to catch up with the turtle, do I have to catch up to half the distance between us first?
"If I want to catch up with half the distance between us, then I have to catch up with one-half of half the distance between us? That is a quarter.

“So if I want to catch up with a quarter of the distance between us, I have to catch up with half of a quarter of the distance between us first?
"There is no end to the 'two points' going on!
"This is in theory, but in fact, I caught up with the tortoise in a few steps. But in theory, you can't deny the idea I put forward. I call this theory the 'paradox of chasing the tortoise'."

Tao Daixi thought about her words before saying: "What you mean is that in both theory and practice, there are blind spots that we cannot see!"

Mu Bai clapped his hands: "You used the word 'blind spot' too accurately. Yes, it is a blind spot. Most of the time we don't notice these. Even if we fall into a blind spot, it is difficult to detect it in the first place." .

"At this time, we must use 'reality' to cover the bottom line. This is the usefulness of technology, because it is the most direct and pragmatic understanding and application of reality.

"As long as 'reality' conforms to our cognition, these blind spots in thinking will always be just blind spots and will not affect our thinking."

The members of the camera crew suddenly saw that the comment area of ​​the live broadcast room was erupting again, even more intense than when Mu Bai admitted that he had been to Qi State just now.

While everyone praised Mu Bai for his profound thoughts, they couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, as if they had thought of many blind spots in their own thinking.

Mu Bai pinched his temples and continued: "The second is the limitations of the spiritual world, and there are also limitations in the technological world. Only by combining the two can we break through this limitation.

"Let me give you an example. Suppose there is a sharpshooter who punches holes every ten centimeters in a target.

"Imagine that there is a two-dimensional creature living on the plane of this target. Do you understand two dimensions? I don't quite understand. Well, just understand that there is a small creature invisible to the naked eye living on this target.

"The scientists of this intelligent creature, after observing their own universe, discovered a great law:

"'Every ten centimeters in the universe, there must be a hole.'

“They regarded the sharpshooter’s random behavior as the iron law of their own universe.

"I call this hypothesis the 'shooter hypothesis.'"

Tao Daixi was stunned for a moment before saying, "Why do I get chills when I hear it?"

There was another stir in the live broadcast room over there. Some fans were already wondering if Mu Bai was an alien?
"This is just a hypothesis." Mu Bai said with a smile: "This is what I mean by limitation, relying solely on the spiritual world or the technological world to understand our world has huge disadvantages.

"Maybe the iron law we follow is that 'someone' does whatever he wants."

Mu Bai's eyes suddenly froze for a second or two, and he suddenly thought of the conversation he had with Luo Zhiyuan before his death. Those people's "doing what they want" can determine the fate of the entire human race.

"I may use Director Mu's two theories in the report." These two hypotheses made Tao Daixi feel thought-provoking.

Mu Bai smiled and said: "Use it whatever you want, but you may have to publish it quickly. Today our conversation is being broadcast live on the Internet. If you don't hurry up, these concepts will be known to everyone."

Tao Daixi didn't seem to care about this: "Is this a theoretical explanation of the role of technology? So how do we apply your ideas in practice?"

"It's very simple. Increase the investment in technology." Mu Bai said: "You have also seen the scale of Guofeng Studio. There are now more than fifty creative staff such as painters and literary editors, and the three computer teams add up to fifty The remaining people.

“Generally speaking, the computer group earns less than the creative staff, and now the earnings have evened out among the group leaders.

“In the next step, while increasing the salary for creative staff, I will also increase the salary for members of the computer team.

"Take "Xiangwang Fengyunlu" as an example. Without the creative personnel, the computer team could not complete the production by itself. Without the computer team, the works drawn and written by the creative personnel are just a stack of original paintings and manuscripts."

Tao Daixi nodded and understood Mu Bai's meaning: "First, the balance of treatment, and then the balance of social status, so that technology can receive enough attention!"

She suddenly changed the subject: "After talking so much, I suddenly wondered, what is your ideal?"

Mu Bai smiled: "My ideal is very simple. I hope that everyone in the world can look at others without any prejudice and look at the world without any personal emotions."

"Are you referring to the prejudice and hostility towards Qi from the Shandong states?"

Mu Bai shook his head: "The countries in Shandong are big and small. Strong countries are used to bullying weak countries, and people from strong countries are used to looking down on people from small countries. Even if there is no Qi State, the prejudice still exists, but it is not so obvious."

"This ideal is very broad!" Tao Daixi exclaimed.

"Guoshi Mi Qingfeng once praised that my ambition is that of a saint!" Mu Bai said unceremoniously.

Tao Daixi smiled helplessly, there has been no saint born in the world for more than 1000 years, did Mu Bai really take the polite words seriously?

The two chatted about many corners and corners. Tao Daixi was very satisfied with the content of this interview, and finally left happily.

After sending Tao Daixi away, Mu Bai stretched his waist, and said to Zheng Huan who had been waiting by the side, "Go, I still have to shoot."

Zheng Huan followed with a smile and said, "Someone in the studio is going to worship Director Mu as a god."

Mu Bai breathed a sigh of relief: "I hope this breakthrough is found accurately."
