Chapter 573: Two Old Men and One Young Man Shock Old Man (Part 3)
Jiang Fuyue hugged him back: "Long time no see."
Peter on the side was dumbfounded. Although his Chinese was average, he could still distinguish the pronunciation of "Chou".
Xu actually called a girl "Chou"?
Or has the name "Chou" become as common as John and Tony?
Anyone can call?
"Oh! Xu, you're being naughty again. Quick, introduce this beautiful lady to me. Don't try to fool me with Chou. That's ridiculous."
Hearing this, Xu Kaiqing glanced at him with a half-smile: "Who fooled you?"
"Isn't it?" Old Peter gesticulated excitedly. "You just called this lady Chou. If that's not fooling around, then what is?"
Xu Kaiqing: "Maybe she is Chou?"
"No, no, no, this joke is not funny at all."
At this moment, Jiang Fuyue suddenly stepped forward and patted Old Peter on the shoulder: "Hey, we finally meet, Peter Drucker."
hiss--
"You know me? Xu said that? Oh, don't tell me you're really Chou, or I'll collapse on the spot!"
Jiang Fuyue spread his hands and shrugged, "I'm so sorry."
Old Peter was in disbelief at first, then he questioned, "Why did you become a woman? How could you become a woman?! Xu, please tell me this is just a ridiculous prank!"
Jiang Fuyue's eyes were full of innocence: "Did I say I was a man?"
Well……
It seems that there really isn’t one!
But Peter still had doubts in his heart, or rather, he could not believe that the powerful Chou was actually such a young girl.
It's crazy!
"My beautiful lady, since you say you are Chou, you should remember that we once discussed Hilary Putnam's imaginary work called Water Flower. Do you still remember it?"
Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow: "I don't remember anything about 'Flower in the Water', but I do know another crazy hypothesis of Hilary Putnam, called——"
She spoke each word with emphasis: "Brain in a vat!"
Peter narrowed his old eyes slightly, and a shrewdness and sharpness that was inconsistent with his simple and honest character flashed in his eyes: "Brain in a vat, it means that a person, of course you can assume it is you, has been operated on by an evil scientist, and the brain has been cut out and placed in a tank filled with nutrient solution to keep the brain alive. The nerve endings of the brain are connected to a computer, and this computer transmits information to the brain according to the program, so that he maintains the illusion that everything is completely normal. [1]"
Jiang Fuyue curled her lips and continued, "To him, it seemed as if people, objects, and the sky still existed. His own movements and body sensations could be felt, and memories could be input or fabricated. He could even transform himself into a string of code and personally 'feel' that he was reading an interesting and absurd text. [2]"
“Then the question arises: the computer transmits the same signals to the brain through nerve endings, and responds to the brain’s signals with the same feedback as usual. Therefore, the world experienced by the brain is actually a virtual reality created by the computer. So, can the brain realize that it is living in a virtual reality? [1]”
Old Peter was stunned on the spot.
Twenty years ago, he and Chou had had such a discussion in the private message dialog box of S-SA intranet, and the situation was exactly the same as before.
Even Xu Kaiqing was not clear about the details in between.
so--
"Oh! God! Are you really Chou?! The hero I have admired for so long is actually a girl?! Oh my God! This is too unbelievable!" As he said this, he opened his arms, ready to give her a big hug.
Jiang Fuyue's scalp tingled, and she quickly dodged. "Actually, this conjecture can be supported by a thousand-year-old Chinese anecdote."
Old Peter's eyes lit up: "What allusion?!"
"Zhuang Zhou once dreamed he was a butterfly, flitting about like a butterfly. He thought he was content, not knowing he was Zhuang Zhou... I wondered if Zhuang Zhou dreamed he was a butterfly, or if the butterfly dreamed it was Zhuang Zhou."
Peter: “?” What is she talking about?
Xu Kaiqing: “?” As a Chinese, I doubt whether I can understand Chinese.
Jiang Fuyue had no intention of embarrassing them. "Zhuang Zhou dreamed of becoming a butterfly. Was it Zhuang Zhou who dreamed of becoming a butterfly, or was it the butterfly that dreamed of becoming Zhuang Zhou? Reality and illusion intertwine, nesting layer upon layer, constantly generating multidimensional space. Could this also be used to explain Einstein's theory of relativity? Of course, this is just my personal opinion."
She finished talking so fast that old Peter's eyes were filled with stars.
I don’t understand Chinese, so I can just shout “666”.
Anyway, Chou is always happy.
Don’t let your idol halo shine too brightly…
Xu Kaiqing raised his chin, somewhat proudly saying, "Old Bi, do you believe it now?"
"Hehe..." Look at how proud you are. If someone doesn't know you, they would think that you are just saying this and that.
"I say, you two are almost there." Jiang Fuyue immediately cut off the two old children's tendency to quarrel, then patted the low-key and luxurious front of the Cullinan, and waved her hand -
"Come on, let me take you to meet a friend!
Three updates, two thousand words.
