"This is what you brought back? You left me alone at the banquet? "
When Li Ke finished digging and brought his men to meet up with Aichy, Aichy looked at the sled behind her with a strange expression because the thing on it was too strange.
"A pile of dirt?"
That's right. Li Ke moved his horse closer to Eich's side and nodded slightly at her. After all, he couldn't possibly stay there and do research for a period of time. So, he could only take some samples first and wait for Eich to find a suitable plot of land for him to do some comparative research.
Anyway, he didn't need to take that long to grow things. A sled of dirt was enough for him to do a superficial comparison study.
"To be exact, it's the soil from the potato field. Because of the lack of time, I can only take it with me and then study it. This is a scientific approach to research. Otherwise, without comparison, some things can't be seen. "
Aichy thought for a moment. She looked at the mountain in the distance and then looked at Li Ke.
"It's like two people who are abnormally similar in height. If they don't stand together, there's no way to compare who is taller."
"You can think of it that way."
Li Ke didn't have any intention to object. Seeing that he didn't seem to dislike her asking questions, Aichy continued to ask.
"Then what does' science 'mean?"
The word 'science' didn't exist in Freldrod. Li Ke put the first half of the word 'grain' in Freldrod together with the second half of the word 'study'. It was normal for Aichy to not understand the word he created.
Li Ke didn't know the word 'science' here, nor did he understand the rules of creating words here. If it was the Noxus people, he was proficient in the language, but he didn't understand most of the time.
Thus, let alone Eich, even the priests in charge of culture wouldn't be able to understand what this' Grain Learning 'meant.
"Science is to use a rigorous attitude to study all the objective laws in the world and make use of them … Theory, or rather, 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. Other than exams, no one would talk about the concept of science.
"Let's take the current temperature for example. If the temperature at which water freezes is zero, then by comparing and observing whether the water freezes or not, the temperature of the water freezes is zero. Then, he would be able to determine whether the current temperature was below zero. If they could know the exact temperature every day and the changes in their own temperature, it would be very convenient for them to analyze what was suitable for them to do today instead of relying on everyone's different experiences. This is part of the science, and the application of science. "
He could only come up with an analogy that he felt was not very appropriate. On the other hand, Aichy's interest was piqued by his words.
"In other words, science is something more useful than experience?"
"No, science is experience on another level, but it is an experience that has been rigorously and repeatedly verified to ensure that it is absolutely correct in most cases. It's just like how a powerful hunter knows where a rabbit will hide. If several such hunters share their experience together and sum up the rabbit's movement pattern that everyone can agree on, then this is science, the science of how to hunt rabbits. "
Li Ke saw Aichy's thoughtful look, smiled, and continued.
"There is also how to save energy when swinging a sword, how to breathe when running and fighting to save energy, how to determine the direction when shooting an arrow, how to determine the arrow's landing point, how to make the arrow fly straighter. These were all things that could be strengthened through summarization and verification of experience. And these summarized experiences that are applicable to most people are also science, but it is different from the subject of rabbit hunting. "
Aichy nodded. She already understood the meaning of science, and also understood the effect that science could produce.
"In other words, we and the allies gather together every summer to teach each other martial arts, hunting skills, and even a year's worth of experience. These are the science you mentioned?"
Li Ke was very happy that Aichy could understand his meaning so quickly, because this was not the "scientific religion" that thought that modern science was everything. If Aichy could have a scientific attitude, it would be a lot more convenient for him to do a lot of things.
After all, the humanities were also a kind of science, and there was no harm in letting Aichy learn it. After all, this place had always been ruled by the female Ice People, and most people here also felt that only by relying on the powerful Battle Mother could they be at ease. So if Aichy did something, it would often have an exceptionally perfect effect.
"Yes, that's right. If you are communicating with each other about the use of magic and principles between the Ice People, and it is quite rigorous, and there is a standard that most people can agree with, then it is also science. Because science represents a kind of rigorous attitude, and it is not tangible. If magic is said to be an objective and rigorous way of exploring the laws of this world, then it is actually just an attitude and adjective that is different from the name of science. "
Aichy couldn't help but smile because she found another way to strengthen the tribe from Li Ke. But the effect would be very slow, and it would require a lot of time and reputation.
"I see. Then my dear, how do you explain Avinia? She is the embodiment of ice and snow. If she wants to, then she can set off a snowstorm. Is this also science? And it is not any kind of magic, it is just her thoughts. "
Because of the mention of God's name, the two of them instantly quieted down. Li Ke didn't know whether it was an illusion or not, but he found that the snow around him suddenly became more and more.
"Are you talking about the existence that you call gods? Of course, it could be explained, because there must be a reason for everything. Even if one could change the original appearance of the world with a single thought, or even change some of the common sense that we were familiar with, it was not incomprehensible. The difference was whether one could see the hidden truth below and understand why such a situation would occur. Not to mention, it was already a scientific exploration to know that the cause of these situations was a God who could unconditionally change the weather. That was because doing so would at least allow one to rigorously verify and know the reason for the changes in the weather. Therefore, the village of the gods will not affect science. Since the gods exist, they themselves are a kind of science. "
Li Ke paused for a moment and added a few words.
"Of course, this is only my opinion. In my hometown, I am not a scholar who specializes in these things, so I can't do anything if you have a different opinion."
After he finished speaking, Esch nervously gripped the reins of her horse. Then, she abruptly relaxed. Then she smiled and asked Li Ke.
"Then it seems that we are very far from science, but also very close? Especially your science. "
Li Ke smiled.
"This is also the reason why I am talking to you about this."
