Now, with Shangguan Ling's recommendation, I met Professor Liang. The thoughts I saw were normal and I didn't pretend to deal with them. This was basically consistent with Long Yun's previous impression. The professor, who spoke loudly and had a straightforward personality, received a call from Ling, but now he was asked to sit down and pour two cups of tea to have a long tea talk together, mainly because of the last conversation in the cab of the passenger plane.

In the professor's mind, this young man named Long Yun, who acted as a driver, looked a little introverted and his emotional intelligence seemed not high at all, but the thoughts in his head were quite interesting.

Now that the end of the year is approaching, there is nothing to do, let’s see what this young man has to do. It’s better to chat for a while!

"So, I heard from Shangguan that you have some questions about the 'technical development of human society', why not talk about it?"

"Well, that—it's actually about... about the direction of technology development, or some possibility,"

While talking, Long Yun was thinking, how did Ling understand it just now. If his questions and skills were not related at all, wouldn't it be - oh, then you don't need to find Professor Liang, so he organized his ideas and found a starting point first. "Professor Liang, I have read your monograph before, which is an analysis of the scientific and technological development route of human society. Simply put, it is the 'step theory'. I think it makes sense, but there are some counterexamples. Does the scientific community have a consensus on this theory now?"

The book given by Professor Liang Wuchang was on the way back from Singapore. The book "The Evolution of Science and Technology" which is not large in size and has few pages, is basically a science talk or a popular science book.

"Popular Science Readings". Although the positioning is not "high-end" at all, the scientific principles are quite innovative. The writing is very fluent and the analysis and argumentation process is quite rigorous. Such books may be a bit disliked by the academic community of heroes based on science (science_citation_index, scientific citation index) and ei (enginee daily ng_index, engineering index) but can reflect the comprehensive professional level of a scientific worker. The so-called "those who can write papers may not necessarily write popular science. Those who can write popular science will definitely write papers" is probably like this.

I didn't think about such an interesting book at that time. Long Yun felt that he was quite satisfied with his appetite after reading it. He read it two or three times in his spare time. Now I will ask some questions first.

"Haha, consensus? There is definitely no such thing, not at all."

"Ah? That's because..."

"That's right, it's not difficult to understand, just as someone once wrote it."

When he heard Long Yun’s question, it was obvious that the young man had indeed read his own book. Instead of respecting his subordinates at that time, he threw it aside. Although Professor Liang was straightforward, he was also very happy about it. He sat on the sofa and clapped his hands, citing a narrative in some popular science book:

"People often think that experts and scholars in science are all people with white coats, cold faces, and highly consistent thoughts and behaviors, but this is actually a big mistake. Disputes in the scientific community are really rare when they are not available. Even the most irrefutable axioms always have certain applicable conditions, which can make people make a big fuss, so debates and refutations are always indispensable.

If anyone can find a universal truth that can be fully recognized by scientific workers all over the world?

Haha, in my personal opinion, it is simply impossible; if that happens, this truth will become the 'God' in the scientific boundary, and once there is 'God', what is the difference between the scientific kingdom built with practice and reason and all those confused religions?"

"Oh, if you say so, it's true..."

When he heard Professor Liang's words, although it was a bit off topic, the truth was refreshing. Long Yun nodded thoughtfully. He did not rush to say a word, but instead supported Professor Liang to continue speaking.

In the following period, the tea in the cup quickly came to an end. Liang Wuchang, who was very enthusiastic, briefly introduced to Long Yun. What is the so-called concept of "technology evolution". This is not to erase the key role of people in the development of science and technology, but to start from many historical data and according to a theory produced by "theory must always explain reality", just like a meteorological model, it belongs to "just care about the conclusion and not the reason", as long as the deduction results are close to the actual situation.

So on the other hand, the problem with this theory is that it is unclear the reason. If the scientific and technological development of human society is not a rough straight line, but has a certain period of slowing down and jumping like a ladder, no one can refute the objective facts, but what is the internal mechanism of this phenomenon?

No one can explain this puzzle clearly.

Because of this, the mainstream scientific community has been controversial about this, and various explanations have been flying all over the sky for a while. In addition, many people are disdainful of this, believing that this is separated from the scientific category and is a mystery, so there is basically no "consensus" to say.

"So, Professor Liang, the phenomenon of step-by-step evolution is also a hot topic now, but you did not clearly point out the reason for this phenomenon in your book "The Evolution of Technology".

So, I would like to ask, what do you think of the internal mechanism of this phenomenon?”

Since there is no "consensus", it is not bad to listen to Professor Liang's family's words. Long Yun leaned forward respectfully and intuition told him that there might be some mystery in it. Since he has no idea, he should ask the experts quickly.

The learned professor frowned and answered in a tone that was obviously not conclusive:

“Yes, I didn’t write out the reason; it’s because…

Well, in my personal opinion, this phenomenon is obviously not explained by reasons such as ‘probability’, ‘emergency’, etc., but is more like a manifestation of some external force trend.

But if you continue thinking about it like this, the problem will arise:

No matter what, human beings are still part of the earth. After gradually evolving into smart creatures, they always dominate their own destiny. What force can play a role in the dark so that the development of human society, in fact, is the development of science and technology, will present a step-by-step state?

There are many explanations for this question now, but I can only talk about it carefully. Just like some phenomena in the world today, we scientists cannot find the real answer yet, so I didn't write it at all, because when writing things on paper, we have to consider whether it will mislead readers. Some of the assumptions put forward at present have various flaws and are unacceptable.

How about it, can this answer be understood?”

"It can be understood, that is, in your opinion, people have not found the cause of this phenomenon yet? - but anyway, this phenomenon does exist, I have obtained this from the book, right?"

Facing the young man's question, Professor Liang nodded heavily to him, then got up to pour water.

The answer he got was not far from his thoughts, so Long Yun quickly stood up to run errands. While pouring boiling water into the teapot, he also thought that the "prehistoric civilization" he came to discuss this time might also be the driving force of this phenomenon?

For example, if there had been "prehistoric civilization" on the earth before and reached a certain state of development, then even though it was destroyed in a certain disaster, it might still leave some clues and other "heritages". Then, when the later generations, that is, humans in this era, gradually discover these "heritages", wouldn't they evolve into this scene that appeared, and make the development of science and technology appear like a step-by-step trend.

A sudden flash of thought made Zhenlongyun a little excited at first.

However, he immediately realized that just as the "creative" of most people in history was actually something that predecessors had already thought of. The so-called explanation he had a sudden inspiration must have been considered in this way by a large number of people.

Moreover, even if you think about it, so who can prove whether this guess is correct?

Thinking of this, about the so-called "prehistoric civilization", Long Yun brought the teapot back to the side of the sofa, and he took the initiative to bring the topic to this direction.

As expected, the talkative Professor Liang was also very interested in this. He told Long Yun that within the scope of his knowledge, the so-called "Opaz" that has been reported in the world and has undergone scientific testing, which is a mysterious object that should not appear. To be more rigorous, almost none of them can stand scrutiny; many of them are magical arts in nature, but they are mistaken for artificial things, and more are obviously misunderstandings or fakes. In short, it is said that a piece of evidence that "prehistoric civilization" may exist, but it is still impossible to do it now.

Professor Liang's introduction is basically similar to some of Long Yun's previous search results, which disappointed him a little.

The "Opaz" in parallel worlds are all fake, and the same is true in the real world. In other words, as Vladimir Pukin said before, the concept of "prehistoric civilization" may be just a hypothesis after all, and has not really appeared on the earth, but why was he disappointed? He didn't quite understand for a while.

After analyzing some "Opaz", Long Yun then put forward his own speculation and asked Professor Liang if there is no prehistoric civilization on earth.

In this regard, according to Professor Liang's statement, his views are similar to those of Vladimir Putin.
