From Chief to Ball

"It's not in a hurry, but you can talk to them. But before that, you can still help them, find someone to help mediate, and get in touch with them. After all, young people can still talk, You have the grace to know him, no matter what, you can't watch these young people go astray."

Sun Zhan smiled wryly, and said in his heart that if he stood by Chen Jian and Hulin with great fanfare when this matter first came out, he would always win favor, but you all hesitated and dared not make a decision.Now that this matter is clear, it is the icing on the cake at this time. This friendship is far worse than the direct help at the beginning. Back then, he was unwilling to offend the people of the glass guild...

The person who proposed also understood Sun Zhan's wry smile, and said: "We are wrong about this matter. Although doing it now is not a timely solution, it is better than not doing it. Please ask Brother Yi still to see Chen Jian about this matter. "

"Well, he will come to Mincheng in a few days."

Chapter 67 A New Realm of Tear

In a teahouse near the pier, several people were chatting there.

These people had obviously just disembarked from the boat, their faces looked exhausted after a long boat ride, but they couldn't hide their interest in what the diners were talking about.

After listening for a while, one of them laughed and said: "Li Yun, you little junior brother is very famous in Mincheng, why is everyone talking about him when you come here?"

Li Yun smiled and said: "I don't know. When I came here, I only heard that he could write plays, but I didn't expect that he would start a glass business in just a few months, and he would cause a lot of trouble in the city. It seems that he is not doing well. Small."

"Well, it sounds like a lot. It's interesting to think about it. As you said, a person who is busy with experiments all day still has time to do this?"

"I don't know either. It's really weird. I can't explain it clearly. This time, the master asked me to ask my junior brother some things. By the way, he invited him to go to the capital as soon as possible. I don't know if he can get away. Last time I said that I will do something big. Now it seems Already started."

The person next to him listened to Li Yun's words with a smile, and listened to the people at the table next to him discussing there, and said with a smile: "Listen to this, what your little brother said is interesting, what knowledge is money... Tsk, that's I don’t know that your subject can still burn glass?”

Li Yun also smiled and said: "There is still some connection. According to his article, everything is recombined from small particles. It is not surprising to say that it is not a glass, but a crystal. .”

"Yeah, you guys are lucky. There is such a little junior brother. Mr. Mu doesn't want to make a name for himself. It's amazing to find that such a famous thing in history has fallen to you. I thought those pamphlets hadn't been passed on yet. Mincheng, in Mincheng, your junior brother won't be too famous, but I didn't expect it to be as good as in the capital."

Hearing this, Li Yun smiled, waved her hands and said, "In the capital city, it's not because of our discipline. It can only be said that those people borrowed the article written by the younger brother. We are not thinking about what is a country and what is it?" Is it human?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they thought of some discussions that were going on in the capital.

……

The news in the capital is always much earlier than other places. When the pamphlets published by the Academy were still on the way to Mincheng, they had already caused a wave of excitement in the capital.

This wave was caused by the first pamphlet after the year. In addition to the chemical natural sciences, the first article in the publications of several other disciplines was also the article on "methods of induction and deduction".

Many people were shocked after buying the booklet. They appreciated the summarization of induction and deductive logic, and they were also surprised that this article was recognized by several disciplines, and all of them were published as the first article in the beginning of the year.

There are many comments from well-known figures in the back, and many of the commenters are people who often hear these hobbies or people who study these subjects.

It’s just that the author of this article that sounds extremely philosophical is actually an unknown person, so unknown that many people racked their brains to recall where Chen Jian had heard it. Unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, there are people with the same name, but they are definitely not.

What is even more frightening is that the first booklet of the first year of the subject of chemical natural sciences is thickened, and most of the whole booklet is written by this young man who has never heard of it. The same is true for the article, if you flip through a page at random, there is a high probability that it will be...

This is a bit frightening, and what is even more frightening is that two explosive news came out after the new year in the chemistry department of the academy, two new inseparable substances were discovered, and all of these were in line with the various speculations in the pamphlet. Connect together.

For those who really study the subject of natural chemistry, the discovery of those two inseparable things is secondary. The important thing is that Chen Jian's seemingly reasonable speculation has constructed a system, a rule, and a delusion. Honghao who explains the world.

Almost overnight, this topic became an unavoidable problem in a certain circle, and people spread the content every day.

However, the content inside is not something everyone can understand, so the strangest thing happened.

After this pamphlet caused an uproar in the chemical natural sciences, it unexpectedly burst out with stronger vitality and brilliance in some circles who like to discuss people, freedom, rights, and countries.

In just two months, there were no less than dozens of disputes caused by the worldview of this pamphlet, and the huge quarrels caused by it also officially kicked off in the capital.

A kind of tearing that is different from the previous one and a new realm has begun.

The first thing that caused a sensation with this pamphlet was an article whose author was unknown, but this article quickly sparked controversy among many people.

Or resonance, or opposition, or fear, or joy.

The content is roughly like this:

"Everything in the world is made of particles. Mountains and rivers are like this, and vegetation, bamboo and rocks are still there."

"So the essence of the world cannot be changed by humans, and all changes in the world are nothing but the recombination and movement of particles. Therefore, matter exists objectively and is eternal."

"The so-called liking and resentment are nothing but external reactions to the approach or distance of a material combination or a certain movement."

"Since all things are composed of particles, so are human beings. Therefore, human beings are essentially a rigorous machine controlled by the way of heaven and earth, and all activities are just the operation of machines. It is like a weaving machine The cloth machine is moving because of the pedal..."

The opening chapter borrows Chen Jian's particle world view, and uses the newly learned inductive and deductive logic to expound a truth in the thousands of words after the opening chapter, a mechanical materialist truth: everything about people can actually be explained by matter, without resorting to a soul detached from matter.

Then I put forward an easy-to-accept point of view: there are only two kinds of things in the world, one is natural and the other is artificial.

Man himself is a product of nature, but he is inseparable from society, so man has two natures: natural and artificial.

Then, using Chen Jian’s article on particles, he explained convincingly: “Particles are the foundation of the universe, matter is immortal, and human beings are also a kind of thing, so the way of heaven and earth can be regarded as the principle of nature. The tendency among particles tends to be stable at this moment: that is, lime can only be turned into carbon dioxide gas and quicklime by incineration, but carbon dioxide gas can be turned into lime only by contacting quicklime."

"This is the case at this moment, but if the world at this moment is a high-temperature world, then the particles that make up lime tend to turn into carbon dioxide gas and quicklime..."

Starting from the tendency of particles, human beings are drawn out.

"In the world at this moment, since human beings also belong to nature, then human nature is to obey the way of heaven and earth, and there is a tendency. Just like tigers kill cattle and sheep, and foxes take away chickens and ducks, people want to obey heaven and earth The Way can and can only be evil, this is nature."

"Human nature is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, seek pleasure from suffering, pursue fame and fortune, mate, money, and endless personal interests."

"People originally lived naturally, and in this state of life, they are completely natural without artificiality—the artificiality here is extremely natural. The public authority and force created by people—human nature is the natural right of innateness. , so in the state of nature, man has and instinctively wants to realize his natural rights."

"Based on human nature, it is inevitable for people in the natural state to use all means to achieve their goals. You fight each other, everyone is in danger, and kill each other. This is the natural state under absolute freedom, and everyone opposes it. All men's war, every man's enemy against every other, is the expression of the absolute nature of man."

"However, all these naturalities such as seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and pursuing personal interests are fundamentally for self-survival. That is, self-survival is the foundation of all human nature. When this foundation is opposed by everyone in the state of nature When chaos threatens all, the natural right and desire to possess all has to give way to the very essence of human nature—self-existence.”

"So natural rules based on rationality appeared at this time. This rational rule is a product of man-made, but its purpose is to protect human nature to the greatest extent. There is no absolute justice in the natural state, beyond the natural state It has become a consideration that is beneficial to everyone's self-survival."

"Under the condition that there is no violence or criminal law to guarantee the maximum protection of human nature, it will inevitably fall into chaotic killings and wars in an absolute natural state."

From here is another argument, which proves the next question, that is, the legitimacy and rationality of the country are not natural, but the final choice of the natural nature of people seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

"...People live in the state and are subject to various constraints. The fundamental purpose of being subject to such constraints is to protect themselves—that is, the natural right of human existence, from being harmed by others."

"The state is formed when all agree that each one says to every other: I recognize this man or this group, and renounce my right to govern myself, and confer this right of self-government on this Collective, but again, the rest of the collective is taking their rights. It's a contract."

This pamphlet ends here abruptly, apparently with much more to say.

It is said that when it was first reported, it was written in a woman's handwriting, at least it seemed to be a woman's.It's slim, but then the original is printed and most people see just the print.

This sudden stop and unfinished business has aroused the thinking of many middle and upper-class young people in the capital and some people who think about these issues.

From a logical point of view, it is self-consistent with today's level of knowledge and depth of thinking, and it perfectly explains many problems. The world view is formed on the basis of a mechanical and particle-made universe that is essentially eternal.

But the problems after that abrupt end are dire.

Since it is a contract, who is this contract signed with?Is this a virtual personality or a specific person?

This leads to another paradox: no matter when anyone assumes the personality of the country and the people, or becomes a member of the council that assumes the personality of the people, this person himself also has the status of a natural person, and the status of a natural person must make him pursue His own natural rights may also injure the natural rights of the people he has assumed.
