Chapter 806 Determining the Future: The Order of the Elders

"The prosperity and decline, what is the prosperity? It means that a certain direction has developed to the extreme, and then began to regress. After reaching this extreme, people lose the goal of moving forward. No matter how hard they try, they can't find the way forward, and then stop. Following the never-ending path of exploration, falling into situations such as inner emptiness, satisfaction with reality, etc., and in this strange state of satisfaction and emptiness coexisting a little bit sinks and wears away, and finally falls into the decline..."

"No! Civil strife may be possible, but since it is Shengji, why is it overtaken by others?"

"Indeed, it is obviously very prosperous, why is it overtaken? We know a truth, that is, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, right?... Before reaching the acme, it works hard, which can be called It is called 'thrifty'; but when it reaches the extreme, it gradually becomes 'luxury'. At this time, even if someone is catching up, it probably doesn't want to return to the previous 'thrifty', at most it may It will block the opponent. However, it is said that "if you do not advance, you will retreat". After entering the "luxury", it is actually retreating. Generally speaking, it is useless to block anything alone, so if the person cannot return 'Thrifty' will eventually be surpassed by latecomers to reach its former 'supreme'..."

"What about Sheng Ji! Sir, I think the so-called Sheng Ji is just an excuse!"

"Oh! Why?"

"What is Shengji? According to what you said, it is developed to the extreme in a certain direction, but the question is, what is the extreme? Is it the absolute peak? This is impossible, because there is no absolute thing. The so-called absolute, But as far as the current level is concerned... so by extension, the so-called acme does not exist. The "it" you mentioned has reached the apex, but it is because it cannot find further development for a period of time. The road, and then cowardly self-satisfaction, thinking that it has reached the end, and it is precisely because of this character that there will be a "decline" after the "prosperity".

"Very well, as you said it is a matter of understanding. So from your understanding, can we say that your understanding of 'boom and bust' can be interpreted as 'as long as you don't give up under any circumstances If you have the spirit of exploring forward, then you will be able to stay alive forever', in short, it is 'never give up, you will never reach the top, and then you will never decline', right?"

"It's... almost."

"So……"

……

The social trend of thought caused by an ordinary word, and the social impact it produced is beyond the imagination of Kong Huan and others. After more than a month after the technical conference, the friends society faced this trend of thought, like a plant that has experienced manna for a long time. Absorbed every drop of water.

According to rough statistics made during a family parade on July 7, 7% of the friends and 70% of the Dunjia people were involved in the theory of "prosperity and decline" and the many derived from it. Discussions such as "no extreme peace", "stress call", "delusion prevails" and so on, caused the production efficiency of the entire group of friends to drop sharply in the past two months.

This is still a superficial problem. While the production efficiency is declining, there are many large-scale ideological conflicts caused by different ideological arguments. Although they still stay in verbal arguments and Internet noise, if they are allowed to develop, they will be illusory and uncertain. Is it because of the contention of a hundred schools of thought, or ideological division, or even social conflicts...

Perhaps under the rational control of the emptiness and the elders' house, coupled with the complete control of the Internet by the elders' house, there will be a hundred schools of thought in the society that will further develop into a fusion of ideas, and the possibility of finding the core idea that is most suitable for the friends is the highest, but According to the internal discussion of the Presbyterian House, it will take decades of continuous discussions and reasonable but careful adjustments to achieve this ideal situation.

But don't forget, there are bugs in the sky of the friends, and the system planet protection that Bai Nong suppressed his personal missions can only last for another year or two.When the time is up, the worm will be able to clearly discover the internal situation of the double moon star. At that time, the first thing the other party will do is to kill those friends' settlements. At that time, any thoughts and theories will be floating clouds.

Therefore, it was too hasty, Kong Huan and others had to make a decision to delay this trend of thought, at least to let it calm down temporarily so as not to affect production work.

Therefore, on the day of July 7th, Kong Huan found the person who first put forward this theory, and in the subsequent discussions and thoughts, constantly absorbed various opinions from the Internet, so as to improve it, and became the leader of the current generation of Internet thoughts. Technician Meng Yan.Its current status in the field of thought is no less than that of Aiyi in the field of energy technology, so pulling it out and putting it on the table for an open and rational debate, in the eyes of Kong Huan and others, is not suppressing The best way to stabilize society in case of thought.

At this time, Meng Yan's performance on the podium that was used as the venue of the technical conference before Xinpeng Island was indeed satisfactory. Although his thinking is obviously still in the growth stage, he can rely on this more intense but more rational attitude. In the debate at the conference, everyone's gains will be even greater.

At the same time, if the debate is broadcast live on the Internet, people can also avoid direct conflicts in reality and place the place of discussion on the network monitored by the elders' house to avoid social unrest.

Taking this opportunity, the House of Elders directly issued an elder order, announcing that a hot discussion on the Internet will be held every ten days, and a similar debate meeting will be held every three months at the venue of the technical conference to meet everyone's expectations. .Correspondingly, when everyone is working, stop thinking about it.

Although the constraints of this kind of order do not seem to be high, but with the sense of responsibility of friends (or the strict supervision caused by the small number of people), in the following time, the production efficiency finally gradually recovered.

Especially in mid-August, after the theory of "If you don't advance, you will retreat" was derived in an online debate, the production efficiency has even improved, and according to statistics, it has slightly exceeded the level before the ideological trend started.This allowed everyone to see the influence of the trend of friends, and surprised the elders and officials who had previously opposed the surge of thoughts and believed that such meaningless discussions should be suppressed. At the same time, they also began to weaken their opposition.

It is not unreasonable for later generations to call this year, the 47th year of the Pengzu calendar, the beginning of the first cultural upsurge.

At this time, the time has entered September, and according to the calendar of 16 months of double moon stars, this is only the beginning of autumn, and the farmlands everywhere are golden. The House of Elders agreed to Meng Yan's suggestion of 'convening a debate meeting in advance', and this was the beginning of the scene.

Facing the situation on the stage, the attendant sitting next to Kong Huan not far from the stage spoke with admiration and emotion.

"Sure enough, Mr. Meng Yan has to come forward to have this effect."

"indeed."

Nodding in agreement, the empty vision swept around, then patted his body, got up and walked out the door.

"Ah, elder, wait for me!"

"Why did you leave at this time? Listening for a while will be quite rewarding."

The attendant obviously looked back at the venue with some reluctance, and seemed to be able to vaguely hear the discussions inside, but in fact these discussions could be answered directly through the Internet, so Kong Huan didn't plan to sit there for a long time.In other words, he was a little bit impressed by Meng Yan's popularity.

Jealousy is too much, because as the main consciousness, he can gain more popularity at any time if he wants to, but...

"As the main consciousness, I only need to pay attention to the whole. It is the most correct decision to leave those technologies and ideas to my friends." He said to himself.

"Ah, I'm sorry, what did you just say, elder?" The attendant seemed distracted. (=.=)

"No... By the way, I almost forgot, you go back to the venue now, and after the debate is over, tell Meng Yan that the Elder's House invites him to come over tomorrow."

"Yes!"

The attendant was obviously very happy to be able to go back and continue listening, but this happiness did not last long and turned into hesitation.

"That, but you, elder..."

"Go boy, I'm an elder, even if something happens, I can't find someone to help me."

"Ah, yes, goodbye, elder."

————Guidance of thought————

Facing a circle of elders, creatures that seem to float high in the sky to ordinary people, Meng Yan still seemed a little cautious even though he was vaguely becoming a friend thinker, or even a leader in friend thought.Although he has achieved indescribable achievements in thought because of a theory he accidentally put forward, but as far as he is concerned, he is just an ordinary assistant researcher who has been stuck in the advanced stage of the ghost level for decades.

In addition to proposing a theory that resonated with most members at the right time, what he has done since then is to summarize and analyze various problems and conclusions discussed by everyone on the Internet and in reality.Although this is obviously handy for him who was in charge of the technical team's data collation before, he still feels that his ability does not match his current influence, so he will feel a sense of trepidation.

And everyone in the elders' house who saw his reaction obviously just smiled kindly, because this time he was invited here to see if this person who is now in the heyday of the friend clan and has no less influence than ordinary elders Has a disposition in keeping with its status and influence.

Fortunately, this meeting satisfied everyone.

"As for how you came up with this theory, we won't ask. There is probably no one in the Pengzu who doesn't know, haha."

"The elder is overrated."

"No, not at all!" Kong Huan said with a serious face: "Meng Yan, don't forget your current identity, because when you get this identity, you already have the influence that matches it, your words and deeds, and even What you think and think no longer belongs to you personally, but will affect many people, so you should first recognize your identity!"

"This... I'm just a technician."

"That was before!"

Smiling and waving, after letting an attendant deliver a letter of appointment to Meng Yan, Kong Huan pointed to the document and said.

"Now, on behalf of the House of Elders and the Supreme Council, I accept you and Meng Yan as the vice ministers of the Ministry of Culture."

"what!"

"You don't need to manage any specific things. The sole purpose of this position is to let you recognize your identity, influence and responsibility. You not only need to further improve your theory, but also ensure that your theory does not cause social unrest. "

"But... me."

Shaking her head, Lingxue on the side took the lead of Kong Huan and reminded her apologetically.

"Meng Yan, in fact, we all agree that your best position is in society, and you develop your ideas in a state of separation from the government..."

"Then..." Then why do you still want to take on this position that you can see is a false name?
"It's not what you think. In fact, it's a pity that we are in a special period, and we can't let you do these things with aloofness. Therefore, we can only give you an identity, and at the same time, a responsibility .do you understand?"

"..."

After pondering for a while, Meng Yan nodded in understanding.

"I see, Elder."
