From Chief to Ball

But for this matter, he must fight back, no matter what the reason is, he must fight back, and he must use this opportunity to strengthen his status as a student.

He knows his own weaknesses, but he believes in the wisdom of the sages of the other world that he knows, so being a scholar can save the basic theory of this world a lot of detours.

In one, this matter involves a problem of worldview. Once this matter cannot be resolved, there will be holes in the foundation of the worldview, which will be difficult to make up.

Under the premise of the primacy of matter, there is no need to make human nature and morality into a pre-existing, unchangeable, fixed, mathematics-like thing that has existed since the beginning of human birth.

God with personality or something similar to God has a person with fixed humanity. This is something that can be inferred, but Chen Jian doesn't believe it.

Therefore, even if the word socialism was introduced in the first two volumes of Lin Xi's book, and even if Lan Qi's book aroused great social repercussions, Chen Jian was most concerned and vigilant about this matter.

This is an article he read in Mincheng after returning to China. At that time, he was thinking about this matter and wanted to continue to delay it, but now it seems that this matter can no longer be pretended not to hear.

The solution to similar problems on the normal world line is the synthesis of urea.However, the problems that can be solved on the normal world line in this world are difficult to solve at this time and are easy to be criticized and attacked.

Because ammonium cyanide cannot be produced at this time, not to say that it is not available, but at this time it cannot be produced with the most basic things that will not be caught by people, so even if this experiment is copied, it is still possible to be criticized and criticized. It is believed that ammonium cyanide is also a kind of thing that can only appear through life transformation.

This is like using starch to make wine. Since starch and wine are things that must undergo life transformation, this experiment cannot explain the insurmountable gap between the inanimate and the living. nonexistent.

For Chen Jian, this matter that must be resolved has also aroused the interest of many people in the capital, who are full of curiosity and concern about this matter.

Since Chen Jian became famous in the academy, this is not the first time he has been questioned, but he will immediately refute the previous doubts, and he can use many strange or novel things to refute the opponent to an irrefutable situation .

This kind of status established by the wisdom of the predecessors also helps many things Chen Jian said be trusted and believed. It can be said that this is not only a reputation, but also a reflection of the gold content of his words.Without the prestige established before, he would not be able to easily catalyze many things.

Once this myth is broken, those who were originally hesitant will immediately launch round after round of attacks, and the problem will soon turn from science and engineering to humanities, which is predictable.

But now, relying on the characteristics of the era that the scholars at this time are all interdisciplinary and the reputation he has established before, he is able to do many things with ease, and can use this intangible capital as a lever to leverage many irrelevant things.

So, in every sense of the word, he had to respond to the incident with an explanation.And many people in the capital also set their sights on this matter. Although they knew very well that even if that person was right, it could only prove that Chen Jian's theories had certain problems, but they were by no means completely wrong. The embankment of a hundred miles collapsed in an ant nest, and this incident may become a great turning point.

After the flowers are blooming like a brocade and the fire is cooking oil, it is a lonely ending, as always.

And Chen Jian, who has completed the foundation of several disciplines of circumnavigation around the world and the Academy, is it like a brocade of flowers and a fire of cooking oil?Or is it just the new chirping of a chick, followed by an earth-shattering chirp?

After a brief silence, Chen Jian responded through public channels, and almost all newspapers and brochures related to it in the capital were published in prominent positions.

During the time when Chen Jian went to sea, there were many people who opposed Chen Jian, and there were also many who questioned him, but relying on those young people who believed in Chen Jian, they all refuted them one by one, and Chen Jian did not mention a word after he came back. Didn't take it seriously.

At this time, no matter who wins or loses, once Chen Jian reacts through public channels, it means that this matter is serious enough to attract Chen Jian's attention.

Those watching the excitement and not knowing the specific situation get excited, and this kind of public reaction means the start of a debate, and once the debate starts, especially the debate about things that can be summed up and logically deduced, once the debate starts, Often there will only be one winner.

Even if science is a kind of blasphemy, the process of pulling down the gods of the previous generation time and time again, everyone in this industry should be aware of this.

But for those watching, look at the matter in a more cheesy light, and there are only two outcomes.Or, Chen Jian fell from the altar, and from then on his body was smashed to pieces, and those scavenging enemies hidden in the dark would show up immediately and take advantage of his illness to kill him.Or, maybe from now until Chen Jian's death, no one will try to oppose many of Chen Jian's ideas, so as not to lose face in time.

For those who really want to figure this out, not just to watch the excitement, they are not just concerned with the result, but with the entire process of the debate.They have already mastered the law of logic, they only need to wait until the process of the debate, the result is doomed and inevitable.

In this open letter of public debate, Chen Jian used a very confident and at the same time somewhat educational attitude, but it did not arouse the disgust of many people.

"...During my voyage around the world, many people questioned or opposed many of my previous ideas or things that were experimented and summarized. Some of these questions, I will explain them seriously, and some of them I will explain. I don't want to waste time arguing with the author about the sophistry of why a fly is not a bird."

"Obviously, the issue to be discussed today is serious, meaningful, important, and involves the foundation of the entire world. I am very happy about this. The so-called science is a process that constantly pushes the predecessors down from the altar. To me, winning or losing itself is meaningless, what is meaningful is the process and result of winning or losing."

"I have read this gentleman's article when I was in Mincheng. Many of his arguments are worth thinking about, and even very reasonable. Because of this, this is what I said before. This matter is important. reason."

"He defined the things composed of particles as those that can only appear after the transformation of life essence, and can appear without the transformation of life essence."

"But what exactly is the essence of life? He didn't give an explanation, and thought it was the same as what I said about gravity."

"For the convenience of discussion in the future, we can call the divisible things transformed by the essence of life organic matter, and the things that can exist naturally without conversion are called inorganic matter. I don't necessarily agree with this division, but I want to name something It doesn't affect the effect of the thing itself. Just like gravity, you can call it gravity, you can call it charm, or whatever you want, but in the end you need a common vocabulary that everyone agrees on. Just like calling a girl Moo in some places doesn't affect the general notion that she's just a girl elsewhere."

"Since this gentleman gave this definition, I just picked up a simple name. It doesn't affect any explanation."

"As I said before, this gentleman regards the essence of life as the gravitational force of the biological world or a similar thing that already exists in the dark, but we have always been ignorant of it and take it for granted."

"Yes, gravity is like this. It has always existed so that we take it for granted, and our eyes cannot directly see gravity. We can only use our logical thinking to imagine the existence of this kind of thing. Therefore, in From this gentleman's point of view, the essence of life is also such a thing, it cannot be seen or touched, but it can exist logically."

"He has good reasons, I think. Gravity, for example, is only conceivable after we observe falling and philosophically define this weird thing called mass."

"The same is true for the essence of life. For example, organic matter can only appear through the conversion of the essence of life. Even though we already know that sugar is carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, we can't make sugar with carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The key to turning into sugar and turning inorganic matter into organic matter is this essence of life.”

"This gentleman will say that, like gravity, what you name it doesn't affect the meaning of the thing. So the essence of life can be called vitality, it can be called soul, it can be called vitality, it can be called whatever you want, and as I write this Before this article, some fans have used the word soul to explain it. They will say, Chen Jian, you must know that the quotation of gravity has always existed, for example, the quotation of attraction and this quotation have the same meaning. Then since You can use, why can't we use the word soul to refer to the essence of life that you have explained just now?"

"Of course, this matter counts as an episode and has nothing to do with this gentleman, but before discussing this issue, I also take the opportunity to make a small suggestion about this episode."

"Everyone can have the same name, even Jixia who created so many rules that people like or dislike didn't make a rule saying that it is forbidden to have the same name, and I am even less qualified to make a rule about how to name it. .”

"However, it can be seen that there will be more and more new things that have never been thought of before and have never appeared in the future. What should be the names of these new things? I hope that the gentlemen of the Academy can discuss To come up with a result, this not only involves the issues of various disciplines, but also involves the translation of the languages ​​and country names of those new countries that appear in foreign exchanges, which requires a basis that everyone agrees on."

"For example, the new word called socialism that appeared among teahouses and restaurants before, this is very good, Xinyada makes people intuitively understand that it considers the Chinese people as a whole and takes human sociality as the main body. Research. For example, the translation of those European names, which uses transliteration instead of free translation, which is also very good. We don’t want to call people blacksmiths, carpenters, butchers.”

"For example, the 'essence of life' that is being discussed now, whether it exists or not, is sophistry that it is a soul. The soul is something that already exists and is far beyond the meaning of the essence of life. It is like, someone sees When we saw a duck, we named all duck-like things ducks, but in fact we didn’t realize that this thing is actually called a bird, and a duck is just a kind of bird.”

"For this episode, I hope to win broad consensus and establish an organization with extensive participation of many people. It has no political significance. It is just to stipulate how to name and define the names of these new things, and what kind of rules should be followed. Rules, so as not to be used by some people with ulterior motives."

"Now, back to the topic, the matter about this essence of life is very similar to the relationship between ducks and birds I just mentioned. For example, the existing mentions of metals, acids, alkalis, and anhydrides are correct. Then organic matter Is the division with inorganic substances correct?"

"Without considering whether the life essence exists or not, there is no problem with this formulation. For example, ducks and people, you can say that one is a mammal, and the other is a bird. You can also say that a One is wingless and the other is winged. It can also be said that both are two-legged animals."

"In this sense, there seems to be nothing wrong with such a division, but the premise is whether the essence of life exists or not? Or how to define this thing? This is the most critical question."

"If it is said that as long as the things that can be converted into life are organic matter, then are water and carbon dioxide gas?"

"If it is said that only things that can be transformed by life and must also undergo life transformation can be organic matter, then what exactly is the thing that meets this definition?"

"Or, this gentleman is going to define such a thing-anything that has not yet found a synthesis method, he calls it an organic substance; and then waits for this kind of thing to be synthesized, and immediately calls it not an organic substance. .”

"In this way, I think I can admit defeat, because this gentleman is already invincible. Obviously, this gentleman is not so shameless. I hope so and believe so."

"In this case, I need to give me an accurate definition of what kind of thing is an organic substance. Whether it is an induction method or a definition method, a general, internally connected, and systematic definition is always needed. For example, there are Wings, feathers, keels, and eggs are birds, what I need is such a definition of organic matter.”

Chapter 66 Avert Your Eyes

Chen Jian took the opponent as an army and kicked the ball back to the opponent. By the way, he hoped to initiate a seminar on naming and translation.

Naming requires an induction. For example, the definition of acid at this time is because of electricity, and the explanation given is the combination of acid anhydride and hydrogen.

Even the metaphor about two legs that Chen Jian slandered secretly in the article is not impossible, but a definition must be given.

Now what the other party means is that some things must be transformed by the essence of life to be synthesized, so even if everything is still a particle, it will be very troublesome to have a weird thing that can be defined in various ways like the essence of life created by God.

Chen Jian asked the other party what could be considered as a so-called organic matter. He could not give a definition of this thing, he could only force the other party to give a definition, and then find opportunities to break through from the definition given by the other party, otherwise he would be drawing a target If you fight it yourself, even if you get it out, others will question it.

It's just that this kind of definition is extremely difficult. With the current level of technology and understanding of the world, it is impossible to come up with many things that are too complicated.The cognition of organic matter that can be determined is still at a simple level.

Once the letters of Chen Jian's public debate were published, Mr. Mu Lao, who led Chen Jian into the school circle, also mobilized his own network, and Chen Jian's own relationships also began to speak out.
