Chapter 101 The planned road
"Is this what you brought back? And you left me alone at the banquet for this?"
When Li Ke finished digging the soil and took the round with Ai Xi, Ai Xi looked at the sleigh pulled behind him strangely because the things on it were really weird.
"A pile of dirt?"
Yes, Li Ke leaned his horse closer to Ai Xi, and then nodded slightly to her. After all, he couldn't really stay there to study for a period of time, so he could only take samples first, and then wait for Ai Xi to give
After he found the land, he conducted comparative studies.
Anyway, it doesn't take him that long to plant things. A load of soil is enough for him to conduct superficial research and comparison.
"To be exact, it's the soil from the potato field. Due to time constraints, I can only take it away like this and then study it. This is a scientific research attitude. Otherwise, if there is no comparison, some things are just to be seen.
It won’t come out.”
Ai Xi thought for a moment, then looked at the distant mountain peaks and then at Li Ke.
"It's like two people with extremely similar heights. If they don't stand next to each other, there's no way to compare who is taller?"
"You can understand it that way."
Li Ke had no intention of objecting, and seeing that he didn't seem to resent her asking him questions, Ai Xi continued to ask.
"What does 'science' mean?"
The word science does not exist in the Freljord. Li Ke made up the word by combining the first half of the word "center" in the Freljord and the second half of the word "learn".
, it’s normal for Ai Xi not to understand.
Because Li Ke didn't know the vocabulary here, nor did he understand the rules of creating words here. If he was a Noxian, he would be proficient in the language, but he didn't recognize it most of the time.
So let alone Ai Xi, the priests who are in charge of culture don't even want to know what it means when talking about 'Ke Xue'.
"Science is to use a rigorous attitude to study all objective laws in the world, and to use and study them... theory, or attitude."
Li Ke was speechless for a moment. Although he grew up in the glory of science, he could only think of so much about the definition of the word science. After all, his life was all about science. Except for exams, no one could
What does it mean to mention the concept of science?
"For example, let's take the current temperature. If the temperature at which water freezes is zero, then by comparing and observing whether the water freezes, we can determine whether the current temperature is below zero. And if we can know the exact temperature every day
, if one's own temperature changes, it will be very convenient for people to analyze what is suitable for them to do today, instead of relying on everyone's different experiences. This is part of science and the application of science."
He had no choice but to make a metaphor that he felt was inappropriate. But Ai Xi became more interested because of what he said.
"In other words, is science something more useful than experience?"
"No, science is experience from another level, but it is experience that has been rigorously and repeatedly verified to ensure that it is absolutely correct in most cases. It is like a good hunter who knows where the rabbit will hide. If
If several such hunters share their experiences and summarize the rabbit's behavior that everyone can agree on, then this is science, the science of how to hunt rabbits."
Seeing Ai Xi's thoughtful look, Li Ke smiled and continued.
"There are also how to swing a sword with less effort, how to breathe when running and fighting to save energy and facilitate recovery of energy, or how to judge the direction and determine the landing point of the arrow when shooting, and how to make the arrow fly straighter
.This can be enhanced by summarizing and verifying experience. These summed up and applicable experiences to most people are also science, but they are just different from the subject of rabbit hunting."
Ai Xi nodded. She already understood the meaning of science and the effects that science can produce.
"That is to say, we and the alliance gather together every summer to teach each other about martial arts, hunting skills, and even what we have learned during the year. Is this what you call science?"
Li Ke is very happy that Ai Xi can understand what he means so quickly, because this is not the idea of the 'scientific god' who thinks that modern science is everything. It can help Ai Xi have a scientific attitude towards him.
It will make many things much more convenient.
After all, humanities is also a kind of science, and there are only advantages and no disadvantages to letting Ashe learn from it. After all, this place has always been accustomed to being ruled by female ice descendants, and most people here also feel that they can only feel at ease by relying on a powerful war mother. So by
When Ai Xi does something, he can achieve extremely perfect results in many cases.
"Yes, that's right. If you are communicating with each other about the skills and principles of using magic among ice descendants, and it is quite rigorous, and there is a measurement standard that most people can agree with, then it is all science. Because
Science represents a rigorous attitude, not something tangible. If magic also uses an objective and rigorous attitude to explore the laws of the world, then it is actually just an attitude and attitude that is different from the name science.
It’s just an adjective.”
Ai Xi couldn't help but smile, because she found another method in Li Ke that could make the tribe stronger. But the results would be very slow, and it would take a lot of time and enough reputation.
"So it's like this. My dear, how do you explain Avonia? She is the incarnation of ice and snow. If she just wants to, she can set off an ice and snow storm. Is this also science? And it's not.
Any magic is just her imagination."
Because they mentioned the name of the god, the surroundings of the two of them instantly became quiet. Li Ke didn't know if it was an illusion, but he found that the amount of ice and snow falling around him suddenly increased.
"Are you talking about those beings you call gods? Of course it can be explained, because everything must have a reason. Even a single thought can change the original appearance of the world, and even change some common sense we are familiar with.
Then it’s not incomprehensible. The difference is whether you can see the truth hidden below and understand why this happens.
situation, and it is not rigorous to say that "knowing that the cause of these situations is a god who can unconditionally change the weather" is already a scientific exploration, because this at least rigorously researches and knows this
The reason for the changes in the celestial images. Therefore, the village of the gods will not affect science, because since the gods exist, then she itself is a kind of science."
Li Ke paused for a moment, then added a few words.
"Of course, this is just my family's opinion. I am not a scholar who specializes in these in my hometown, so I can't help you if you have different opinions."
After he finished speaking, Ai Xi held the reins nervously, then relaxed suddenly. Then he asked Li Ke with a smile.
"So it seems that we are very far away from science, but also very close? Especially your science."
Li Ke smiled.
