"Mr. Ye, I originally planned to buy the formula of the plant growth-promoting medicine when I came this time. The main reason is to see Lie Xinxi. I really want to study it in depth. Now it seems that it is impossible. However, I hope I would like to share with you my views on botany, especially the principle of delaying plant vitality, and I would like to ask Mr. Ye to enlighten me."
Zhang Keqin felt more and more that Ye Xiaochen was hiding something, so naturally he would not give up on it, and immediately said seriously.
With his tone of voice, he completely regarded Ye Xiaochen as a fellow who could sit on an equal footing.
Sitting on the side, Wang Yuandong was very surprised. He didn't know why the teacher had such an attitude towards Ye Xiaochen. In his heart, he didn't believe that Ye Xiaochen really had profound knowledge in this area.
Ye Xiaochen suddenly had a headache for Zhang Keqin, the expert's perseverance and never giving up until he reached his goal.
This kind of experts, scholars and researchers are usually quite stubborn, otherwise, it would be difficult to achieve professional achievements.
"Professor Zhang, let me ask you a question."
Ye Xiaochen pondered for a moment, then said immediately.
"Mr. Ye, please tell me."
Seeing that Ye Xiaochen wanted to relax, Zhang Keqin was overjoyed and said hastily.
"Do you think plants are conscious?"
Ye Xiaochen asked.
"Plant consciousness?"
Zhang Keqin was slightly taken aback, apparently he did not expect Ye Xiaochen to ask such a mysterious question, just like the scientific community's view on the soul.
"How can plants have consciousness? Don't you know the definition of consciousness? Let me give you a popular science. The understanding of consciousness in modern psychology is divided into two types: broad sense and narrow sense. The concept of broad sense of consciousness believes that consciousness is endowed with reality The totality of psychological phenomena is the subjective phenomenon of personal direct experience, manifested as the unity of knowledge, emotion, and intention. The narrow concept of consciousness refers to people’s awareness and attention to the outside world and themselves.”
Wang Yuandong really couldn't see how much his mentor valued Ye Xiaochen, so he couldn't help but sarcastically said.
Indeed, the current definition of consciousness mainly refers to intelligent people. Even intelligent animals do not have a definition of consciousness, let alone plants.
Ye Xiaochen glanced at Wang Yuandong, didn't say anything, just smiled.
The current society's definition of consciousness is too restrictive, and has even affected the development of many natural sciences.
Can you imagine that a fairy beast with super intelligence can transform into a human, talk and think like a human, and even form its own racial civilization
Can you imagine that the ancient fairy wood that has lived for countless years can walk the earth, spread countless wisdom, and spread various civilizations
Can you imagine that a piece of stubborn stone can give birth to a fairy fetus, call the wind and rain, and have superior wisdom
Maybe it can't be seen on the earth, but the heavens and worlds outside the earth are not unusual worlds.
When Ye Xiaochen saw these records from the introductory guide of the Shennong system, he was shocked at that time, and then he realized that the human beings on the earth are just birds in cages, and they can't imagine the vastness and greatness outside.
"Mr. Ye, I really don't know much about plant consciousness."
Zhang Keqin said.
It's not that he is ignorant, it's that modern science's research on life is still limited to the body level.
Just like when a person is sick, he can only start with various symptoms of the body.
Of course, it is not completely in-depth. For example, modern psychology has already been regarded as a kind of progress. It can start to explore deeper mysteries from the inner world of people, but due to various limitations, it is also very superficial.
"Hehe, in my opinion, botany has lost the definition of consciousness. That's it. It's hard to make any progress."
Ye Xiaochen took a sip of tea and said.
Wang Yuandong almost stopped laughing, he felt that Ye Xiaochen at this moment was simply pretending.
Zhang Keqin seemed to be thinking, and then said: "I also ask Mr. Ye for advice."
Ye Xiaochen looked at Zhang Keqin's attitude like an obedient student, and sighed in his heart, it seems that it is necessary to show his hand, otherwise, it will be very difficult to get it done!
"For example, nowadays people get diseases, both physically and mentally. Some physical diseases are also related to the spirit. Therefore, the treatment and conditioning must be carried out in accordance with the pathology. The same is true for plants. If plants do not Consciousness, naturally only needs to be cultivated and studied according to the situation of the plant itself, once the plant has consciousness, it will become more complicated, and there will be many difficult problems that cannot be explained by science now... . "
Ye Xiaochen pondered for a while, and then began to speak.
Who would have thought that after saying this, they would not be able to stop.
In fact, Ye Xiaochen knew a lot of superior and advanced knowledge, and wanted to have a chance to show it.
All along, he has been doing research by himself, feeling a little behind closed doors. Now that he has a plant expert to discuss and communicate with him, it is naturally a good opportunity for verification.
Zhang Keqin couldn't fully approve of Ye Xiaochen's various novel ideas, but felt that they were very novel, so he couldn't help investing in them.
But Wang Yuandong couldn't help it anymore, "Ye Xiaochen, you have to confirm one thing about everything you said, and that is the existence of plant consciousness."
Zhang Keqin was a little dissatisfied with Wang Yuandong's interrupting the communication between the two of them, so he gave Wang Yuandong a reproachful look.
However, he also has great doubts about the existence of plant consciousness.
"Unable to confirm."
Ye Xiaochen shrugged his shoulders.
If you want to confirm the existence of plant consciousness, unless you have the same psychic talent as him, or you have an idea like a practitioner.
Of course, with the development of modern science to a certain extent, it may also be able to detect the existence of plant consciousness.
It's just not right now.
Ye Xiaochen was very helpless, he could clearly confirm the existence of plant consciousness, but there was no substantive evidence.
"Then what you said just now can only be said to be your conjecture, without any scientific proof, that is pseudoscience."
Wang Yuandong said with a sneer.
Ye Xiaochen didn't say anything, and was too lazy to argue with him, thinking he had found a loophole, but in fact he was short-sighted and narrow-minded, just a frog in a well.
Zhang Keqin was thinking about the possibility that Ye Xiaochen said.
The inability to confirm the existence of plant consciousness does not mean that plant consciousness does not exist, it only shows that the level of modern science is not enough.
Just like hundreds of years ago, everyone knew that it was impossible for a human to go to heaven.
But now
Therefore, as a botanist, he has always had a cognition, which is to make bold assumptions and carefully demonstrate.
Moreover, from Ye Xiaochen's arguments just now, he has been able to judge that Ye Xiaochen's professional knowledge in botany is not weak, but rather profound. It's just that he hasn't studied systematically and comprehensively, so he seems a little scattered and has some problems. But it directly pointed to the essence of the problem, which was very in line with his appetite.
He even felt that Ye Xiaochen might have really found a way for the existence of plant consciousness.
But hide clumsy.
I don't want to say it.
