People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 1174 Human Cognition
Seeing Li Zhi's expression, Li Zheng said again: "Don't worry, you can still go to the academy after you finish your work in Jingyang County."

Li Zhi nodded.

Li Lizhi has been listening to these words, and it is also because Li Zhi has been reading and doing research recently, and has reached the point of forgetting to eat and sleep.

When Li Zhi returned to his room, Li Zheng looked at Li Lizhi and said, "This should be fine."

Li Lizhi said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Li Zheng said: "It's nothing, the Jingyang County government is indeed short of manpower."

On the second day, the maze next to Jingyang Village was finally opened.

For a while, it attracted many people to watch.

A schematic diagram of the maze is placed outside the maze.

Li Chongyi looked at the route map of the maze and gestured with his fingers, "Isn't it possible to get out?"

Di Renjie said: "Young Master Chongyi, you might as well give it a try. If you can't get out, you can light the haystack, and we will naturally bring him out."

Although the maze is large, you can still walk from the starting point to the end point by looking at the map of the maze. The whole maze is circular, with various twists and turns and some trails inside.

You can even find the nearest route from the map, there are many ways to get out of the maze.

There are more and more people watching, and there are dozens of people who walked the maze in the first batch.

Most are young people.

Li Chongyi was among them.

With the sound of a gong, the first group of people walked into the maze.

Li Chongyi stepped into the maze step by step.

The walls of the maze are more than two meters high.

After walking a few more steps, Li Chongyi looked up, and there was only a line of maze passages left in the sky.

Looking at the people who walked with him, some people even wondered if there was an agency.

On the back hill of Jingyang, Li Ji and Zhang Gongjin were standing together watching this scene.

From the back mountain, you can overlook the entire maze, and you can see the situation of more than ten people who are about to break into the maze.

Half an hour passed, and the people in the maze were still spinning, not even half way through the maze.

Watching this scene, Li Ji pondered: "It's been three times, don't they know that they are spinning around?"

Zhang Gongjin said: "Don't underestimate this maze, there are many mysteries in this maze."

Li Ji said: "Tell me carefully."

Zhang Gongjin said: "You can see that the maze is symmetrical on the left and right. If you look carefully, the routes up and down are also symmetrical."

Li Ji took out the map and looked at the content on it, compared it carefully and said, "It's true what you said."

After thinking for a while, Li Ji continued, "Then why can't I get out after doing this?"

Zhang Gongjin smiled and didn't say much.

It happened that Di Renjie was about to return to the academy from the back mountain, so Li Ji called to him and said, "Boy, come here."

Di Renjie saw Li Ji stepping forward and said, "General."

Li Ji said: "Is this maze made by your academy?"

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Brother Big Niu designed it with us."

Li Ji looked at the maze in the distance and said: "This maze doesn't look that big, and the old man looks very simple. Why can't the people in it get out?"

Di Renjie said with a smile: "It looks simple, but walking in it is another matter."

Li Ji asked suspiciously: "Tell me carefully."

Di Renjie nodded and said: "General, people can only see two directions in the maze. In the narrow passage of the maze, you can't see both sides. You can look up at the sky, but there is actually no big difference when looking at the sky in the maze, because the clouds are in the maze. The height of the walls of the maze just blocks the direction of the sun, so the sun cannot be used as a reference."

Zhang Gongjin smiled silently.

Li Ji scratched his head and said, "Say something simple."

Di Renjie said: "When we walk to determine the direction, we use the reference object to determine the direction, but it is difficult to find the direction without the reference object. In addition, the design of the maze wall is very smooth, and every surface is very similar. Among them, the hour of the first moment may be fine, but the hour of the next moment has lost its direction."

Li Ji saw that someone had already lit the haystack in the maze, and when the smoke rose, it meant that someone had given up.

Then one, two, three, more and more people gave up.

Li Ji asked: "Then don't they know the road they have traveled?"

Di Renjie went on to explain: "The left and right symmetry in the maze, and the up and down symmetry, this is what confuses them."

Li Ji thought about it and said, "Then how do we get out of this maze?"

Di Renjie smiled and said, "It's very simple. After memorizing the route, just close your eyes and keep walking close to the outermost wall of the maze, and you will be able to get out."

Li Ji said: "Really?"

Di Renjie nodded.

Zhang Gongjin said: "So it's their eyes that make them lose their way, and it's not enough to have eyes to see?"

Di Renjie explained: "We did an experiment with ants. When the ant walks in a circle, in the ant's perception, it feels that it is actually walking in a straight line."

Li Ji looked at the maze and gave up thinking. This has reached a level that he cannot understand.

Di Renjie added: "When we walk in the maze, our eyes will actually deceive us."

Zhang Gongjin wondered: "My eyes are still deceiving me?"

Di Renjie said: "Seeing is not necessarily believing. When we see a straight road in front of us, we subconsciously think that we are a straight road, but we might as well think about it. When there is no reference, are we really walking in a straight line? But the eyes It's just an illusion, when you walk down the passage all the way, you can't feel that you are walking in a straight line, but when you close your eyes and walk forward against the wall..."

Zhang Gongjin took the words and said: "Close your eyes and walk and you will hit the wall."

Di Renjie nodded.

Hearing this, Li Ji couldn't help feeling a little creepy. According to this, there is a very scary place in this maze, which not only drives people crazy but also traps them to death.

Who can abandon their own cognition to walk this maze.

Li Ji looked at Di Renjie and said, "You children are almost learning to be monsters."

Di Renjie said with a smile: "Studying this kind of knowledge about human cognition is difficult to say, and it is also difficult for people to overcome their own cognition, especially in terms of instinct, like you feel that you are walking in a straight line, but that It’s instinct that tells you you’re going in a straight line, when in fact you’re taking a detour.”

Zhang Gongjin savored these words and said: "The old man heard from Kong Yingda that Li Zheng said that the ground under our feet is round, but in our perception, only those who have flat ground can stand upright."

Li Ji stood up and said, "Isn't that exactly the case? Otherwise, how could we stand?"

Zhang Gongjin sighed and said: "At any rate, you are also a general who has marched and fought for half your life. When marching on the great plain, do you see the flag first or the soldiers and horses first?"

Li Ji said: "Of course we saw it together!"

Zhang Gongjin said again: "Think about it carefully."
