Chapter 218 International Train (3)

The solemn and dignified northern border gates were obviously not an attractive attraction. Everyone on the platform took a few glances and walked into the waiting room of Erlianhot Railway Station to avoid the biting cold wind on the grassland.

Liang Yuan, who followed the crowd into the waiting room, was talking nonsense with Liang Haiping and a large group of international students. Liang Yuan even met three Swiss foreigners living in other cars for traveling across the Eurasian continent through the young man who went to study literature in Federal Germany. However, Liang Yuan's fluent foreign language surprised everyone.

In the 20th century without PSP, smartphones, and tablets, waiting was a very patient task. It took four and a half hours to change the tracks of international trains. When the clock hand in the Erlianhot waiting hall pointed to zero, the loudspeaker in the waiting room received a boarding prompt.

At this time, the young man with literary glasses had expressed his yearning for the free world from several aspects such as culture, history, science, race, system, society, art, etc. The free world mentioned by literary youths was fair, justice, and no corruption, especially the power nepotism such as the Chinese people hated, and the princelings. There is no difference between urban household registration and rural household registration. Everyone is respected and will enjoy extremely full personal freedom.

"Do you know that the poverty line standard in the United States is US$3,340 annual income. The government with personal income less than this number will issue large amounts of relief. If it is converted into domestic income, it is calculated based on the private exchange rate of Peking, which is equivalent to your monthly income below 2,200 yuan, and the government must help you." The young literary man summarized with a yearning look on his face.

For Liang Yuan, this kind of thought, topic or such people is more common than that of cabbage after the Republic entered the new century. He has long been accustomed to it. Liang Haiping, who still has simple patriotism, couldn't help but refute a few words. Unfortunately, Liang Haiping, who has a low level of education, would not be the opponent of such young people in literature and philosophy.

The young literary men just casually took out a few mottos from Lincoln and Montesquieu. Combined with the facts of developed countries, Liang Haiping made him speechless. After all, from the outside, the Republic at this time was no better than those terrible countries. Liang Haiping, who often went abroad, had a deep understanding of this gap in national strength.

It was already at midnight when the international train started again on t3. Liang Yuan ran to the bathroom in the private room and took a hot shower. Then he turned on the sleeper's own reading light and found the "Jane's Aircraft Yearbook" to read it for a while and was sleeping.

"Xiaoyuan didn't help my uncle. I always feel that something was wrong with the international student." Liang Haiping saw that Liang Yuan had no intention of sleeping and raised the topic just now.

"That big brother is right. Nowadays, foreign countries are much better than us. People go to high places and water flows to low places. The pursuit and yearning for a better life is human nature." Liang Yuan said lazily.

"You little bastard, you thought your uncle couldn't understand English, right? You and the foreigner around you didn't say that." Liang Haiping said with a big smile.

"Foreigner asked you, do Chinese people think about foreign countries like this? You said no, his situation is just a few exceptions, similar to what. It may lead to damage to what functions. My uncle didn't understand those phrases. Tell me what those phrases mean." Liang Haiping asked curiously.

Seeing Liang Haiping's attitude of breaking the casserole and asking the end, Liang Yuan sighed softly, put the bookmark on the "Jane's Aircraft Yearbook" in his hand on the small table next to the sleeper, and then said with a smile: "What is what? That is called chronic paranoia of system development, which may lead to impaired judgment and social functions."

"Chronic paranoia of system development?" Liang Haiping repeated Liang Yuan's words.

"What disease is this?" Liang Haiping asked in confusion.

"System-developed chronic paranoia is called paranoid in medicine. The most common thing is exaggeration, being killed or having abnormal delusions about something, and it is not accompanied by common hallucinations or schizophrenia-like thinking disorders. This type of person is basically the same as a normal person. Therefore, the medical community has a strong debate on whether this phenomenon is a disease, and there is no conclusion in a short period of time." Liang Yuan explained in detail.

Liang Haiping looked at Liang Yuan speechlessly, opened his mouth but didn't say anything. His nephew was indeed different from ordinary people, and his view of things was really unique. However, Liang Haiping was very satisfied with Liang Yuan's explanation. He was left with the disease aside first. At least, the gap between the foreign countries that Liang Haiping had personally contacted and the free world described by the literary youth just now was very huge. It was really appropriate to explain it with paranoia.

After a while, Liang Haiping continued, "Since the young man is not sick, Xiaoyuan does not agree with that view. Why didn't he help my uncle just talk?"

"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but that I have no way to communicate. For that literary brother, all his views are self-consistent. If you want to refute him, you have to help him re-establish his worldview and outlook on life. This kind of thing is too difficult." Liang Yuan said with a bitter face.

"Oh? Is it so difficult?" Liang Haiping asked with interest.

"Okay, okay, I'm all energetic by my uncle." Liang Yuan took out the snacks prepared by the two little girls from Peking, ate a few potato chips before continuing: "Let's take the noble quality of the people in the free world mentioned by that big brother to give an example."

"My uncle has done the 243 electric head and knows that my mother and the others are planning to get the gas turbine on the nose. I think my uncle should have realized that even if the design speed of the 243 head is 160 kilometers per hour, it is so difficult for us to really increase the speed to 160 kilometers per hour. The strength of steel, the performance of the brakes, and the displacement of the temperature difference of each component. My mother's gas turbine head is even more troublesome. A single design of inter-cool and heat looks like a fantasy."

"I think no matter where these two projects have breakthroughs in the future, my uncle will be sincerely happy and will also lament the difficulty of scientific research." Liang Yuan looked at Liang Haiping and asked.

Liang Haiping nodded and said, "Although my uncle doesn't read many books, he can still understand the greatness of science and technology and knowledge. But is this related to the quality of the people in the free world?"

"Although it doesn't seem to be true, it actually has a lot to do. Although the literary brother just now also went to college and looked like a high-quality talent, his knowledge is incomplete and his understanding of the whole world is also incomplete." Liang Yuan sighed helplessly.

"Oh? What does Xiaoyuan mean?" Liang Haiping became very interested. His nephew's thinking is often different from that of ordinary people. I don't know what interesting words are coming out.

"Back to the problem of high quality of people in the free world, my uncle has been abroad and should know that the personal credit records of developed countries abroad have been popularized and connected to the Internet. Through the passport number, you can check the credit records of passport holders on the computer. Moreover, people with poor credit records are simply difficult to move abroad. Even the simplest ID cards have been popularized since last year. As for the complete credit records, I don't know which year I will go."

"To be cruel, the quality of the people in the free world is better than saying that the cost of illegal and irregularities in the free world is too high. The perfect credit record is built on a highly developed computer network. However, how troublesome it is to build chips in the science and technology park, I should know that more than ten billion yuan of funds have been spent. In addition to the control system of leafless electric fans and air purifiers, what else did I see? From the current perspective, building computer networks like developed countries in a foreign country in a short period of time is simply an astronomical investment."

"Now the problem is here. In my opinion, science and technology have always led the progress of human society. When science and technology make enough changes to human life, corresponding rules and systems will arise. The book calls this production relationship change with the development of productivity. In other words, with the development of science and technology, culture, systems, etc., it will naturally change."

"But due to professional reasons, the literary elder brother is very likely not to understand the hardships and difficulties of scientific and technological progress. In his opinion, it is natural and normal for trains to run faster and aircraft to fly higher and higher. It is precisely because of this kind of awe of technology from the heart, it is difficult for him to understand what kind of material and technology are needed to support the high quality of the people in the free world abroad. The knowledge he has mastered tells him that the high quality of the people in the free world is due to culture, history, system, etc. rather than other things."

"From the history of human beings since their writing, the humanities have always summarized experience from past history and have not led the future at all. All changes in human society from primitive society are driven by the progress of science and technology. Unfortunately, countless people who study humanities believe that science can only give humanity strength, and only humanities can guide the direction of humanity."

"Uncle, do you say that one of us is materialistic and the other is idealistic. Is it possible to reach a consensus through a few words of communication?" Liang Yuan said with a flat mouth.

Liang Yuan's long speech really scared Liang Haiping. After thinking for a long time, Liang Haiping seemed to suddenly remember something, and said nervously: "Xiaoyuan, hasn't the group decided to sponsor Professor Chen Shubai to establish China Experimental University? I see that the experimental university also needs to open a humanities in the information. Xiaoyuan has to agree to Professor Chen that he must not train his students to be like that young literary man."

Liang Yuan laughed and said, "The liberal arts that my uncle saw refers to the journalism department. Lao Su and I have emphasized that except for professional knowledge, experimental universities, there is no distinction between liberal arts and science, basic physics, chemistry, biology, and advanced mathematics are all compulsory."
