Thousands of years after the Chinese Era, humans finally discovered an alien civilization, but this civilization had been destroyed by the "traitors" who had gone out.
And brought a message.
“Science is dead, what’s the problem?”
Emperor Mian closed the book with both hands, looked at the many scientists surrounding him with a smile on his face.
Scientist, a name that once had a lofty meaning, had a very high status in human society, second only to officials and the rich.
In history, they are irreplaceable and are recorded in history.
Because they promote the development of human society, humans need them, need them to research medicines to cure diseases, need them to develop productivity to feed more people, and need them to research weapons to kill more people.
But that was a long, long time ago, and now the technology is no longer needed, with only a few people still hanging on.
"But didn't you say that technology will one day defeat spiritual practice?" someone asked in disbelief.
"We have conducted countless experiments, breaking through one difficulty after another, and passed down through countless generations. The weapons of science and technology are now enough to kill a god!"
"But the world has broken the laws of physics, all atomic-level technology has been destroyed, and physics no longer exists!"
The white-haired scientist raised his hands high, just like countless centuries ago when the guns of modern countries blasted open the holy city of religion.
The pope of the past also prayed to God in this way.
God never responded, and would only be gradually worn away or transformed in the course of time, removing the violence and bloodiness of primitive religions and leaving behind only harmless spiritual beliefs.
The same is true for science.
Emperor Mian comforted him, "Not all of them, at least gravity is still there, it's just that it's starting to follow the rules of heaven and earth instead of the laws of physics. Most of the laws you're familiar with are still there, but some of the things you imagine are difficult to achieve."
"As for killing the God of Transformation."
He smiled, not out of disdain, but just an unconscious action. Emperor Mian did not dislike these old children.
Nowadays, those who can persist in developing science are all fanatical believers in science and technology, as well as seekers of truth.
On the Blue Planet, where material resources are infinitely abundant, it is not surprising that a few thousand people among the billions of people are developing science. They have the conditions to conduct various experiments with materials, and the Asgard does not care about that little bit of resources.
Everything is allowed as long as it does not violate the law.
Even backward technologies that are not suitable for social development and have no future will be supported.
For the Immortal Palace, this is like a child signing up for an interest class. Some senior officials even think that it is better to promote science and technology in an all-round way. If everyone practices cultivation, it will inevitably lead to a further reduction in cultivation resources, which will increase conflicts.
Spiritual resources have never been infinitely abundant.
At the same time, reducing the number of monks is also in line with the general direction of the Immortal Palace.
The development of science and technology has never been hindered from beginning to end, and has even been greatly helped by practice. Just like an elder brother supporting his younger brother, for example, all problems in materials science can be solved through practice.
Even if the problem cannot be solved, then find a powerful person to learn from and promote the development of science and technology.
At that time, monks still needed the productivity of science and technology, and there were also remarks that technology was not inferior to spiritual practice.
The most powerful argument is that with less than a few hundred years of technology development, a nuclear bomb alone can kill a deity. If technology is allowed to develop for a few thousand more years, perhaps even immortals will not be able to stop it.
There is nothing wrong with such remarks, as people always like to look forward to the future.
But the facts will not be diverted, distorted, or made true by wrong perceptions.
"A nuclear bomb can kill a spirit, and the weapons you have now can indeed kill a Saint King. But you must be clear about one thing, these arguments are based on the premise that the Saint King does not resist or defend himself. Let's assume that a nuclear bomb explodes within ten steps of a spirit, which is enough to destroy his body. But the actual situation is that a spirit escapes into the void, and the reaction time of the soul can reach a million times per second, which is beyond the time it takes for a nuclear explosion to produce destructive power.
"Let's assume that an object with a mass greater than the sun hits the body of the Holy King at 20% of the speed of light. In reality, it will disappear into the void, or the Holy King can draw two points in space."
Emperor Mian raised his hand and tapped lightly, and two dark dots appeared in the void. Then he picked up a fountain pen and threw it lightly, and the extremely fast speed instantly created a strong wind that blew down the people around him.
They looked up at the pen that looped endlessly between two black dots.
"You see, everything you have imagined has a solution when it comes to practice."
Scientists ask: "Are we wrong?"
"No." Emperor Mian shook his head, then consoled him, "Child, this is not your fault, nor is it science's fault. It's because cultivation has been developing for billions of years. If we only talk about time, the cultivation world has existed for longer than this universe."
“Physics is no longer viable, but that doesn’t mean science is dead. The world still exists.”
“Never give up the struggle, never give up the quest.”
"This world is always cruel, and struggle is the main theme of the world."
One thousand years into the Chinese Era, the most famous scientist, the greatest scientist of all time, Emperor Mian, published an article entitled "Technology is Dead", foreshadowing that the technology that had been developing for a thousand years had come to a complete halt, and only spiritual practice remained in the world.
The death of human science has fallen into society like an insignificant grain of sand, just like the country, nation, ideology, and even etiquette and morality of the past.
They will exit earlier than science and more quietly.
Since six hundred years ago, the role of science and technology in human society has come to an end. It does not mean that science and technology should be completely abandoned, but that science and technology can fully meet the daily needs of human beings. And those cutting-edge technologies can always find substitutes in spiritual practice.
