"Teacher Zhou, you actually read such a book?"

Yin Yang looked at Zhou Daifei with surprise and took out a book called "Ghost Blows Out the Light" on the bookshelf, almost looking disbelief.

As a professor of science and technology history at Tsinghua University, it seems that Zhou Daifei was unforgivable to read such books.

"I heard that this is something written by Yan University students, and it can have some connection with the history of science, so I will buy it and take a look." Zhou Daifei was not prejudice to novels by a dispute over portals like Tsinghua University and Yan University.

When paying, Yin Yang, the young teacher, was still jokingly saying: "Teacher Zhou, do you really want to buy "Ghost Blows Out the Light"? Are you not afraid of being known by others?"

Zhou Daifei took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code to pay, and he replied: "Of course I'm not afraid anymore. Who can care about what novels I read?"

"I really envy you. I have to sneak a few small transparent reading books like me."

Although Yin Yang's words are joking, they do reflect this concept. Will a university professor usually be considered indecent enough to read a book like "Ghost Blows Out the Light"?

When martial arts novels from Hong Kong and Taiwan began to become popular in the mainland, it was probably similar.

Until now, some people still refuse to enter the "Literary Hall" of martial arts novels, and they are even heartbroken because some novel paragraphs are selected into primary and secondary school Chinese textbooks.

Even martial arts novels can’t be used to reading, how can a tomb robbery novel be spared?

Zhou Daifei certainly understood what Yin Yang meant. Even such young people had the idea of ​​watching ghosts blowing lights, let alone the rest of them.

Perhaps in the eyes of the public, if professors want to do something as indecent as watching ghost blowing lights, they should at least secretly and not publicize it. After all, people can still do things in private that are not illegal but not on the table.

It is also a private reading. Whether it is a martial arts novel or a detective suspense work by Zhang Chu before, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is more special. In addition to its unelegant tone such as the strange power, gods, horror, and curiosity, it also involves many contents that are very different from people's ideas!

Although Zhou Daifei is a professor of the history of science, he is full of curiosity about this type of book and wants to know why his doctoral students recommend this work.

After all, the Internet is criticizing the pseudoscience in "Ghost Blows Out the Light"!

After Zhou Daifei returned to the office, he couldn't wait to spread out the works he had just bought and read them carefully.

...

In the twelfth month of winter, Zhang Chu, who has already finished all subjects, is now completing the procedures in a car rental company. He plans to rent a car and drive it to the airport to pick up his parents, and take them to Yanjing City tomorrow and the next day.

Anyway, you can just drive to the airport store in a few days, which is much more convenient than taking a taxi.

According to his current income, buying a car is just a royalty, but there is no need now. The identity of a bestseller writer is enough to be separated from the masses. If he drives a luxury car to and from classes every day, he will inevitably become a public enemy of the people!

Holding the Maybach's car key in his hand and playing with it, Zhang Chu thought that before the new semester starts, he might buy a car like this, making it more convenient to travel.

He was already an old driver in his previous life, and he also got his driver's license after the college entrance examination in this life, so there was no problem driving on the road.

At this time, the traffic flow in Yanjing had gradually increased, especially on the road to the airport, the speed was not fast at all.

"It's only three o'clock now, and the plane is over five o'clock, so it's too late!"

I would rather wait for a while than let Zhang Bowen and Chu Lan stand in the strange airport and wait for a while.

After remembering the parking location, Zhang Chu took his mobile phone and arrived there in China. There were many flights from Jiangcheng to Yanjing, which almost only took two hours to fly, and the speed was quite fast.

There was almost an hour before the plane arrived, and he was bored around and he opened the WeChat message, and he saw a message from his friend Yang Ling, "Hurry, look at this. The Tsinghua boss has spoken to "Ghost Blows Out the Light"!"

What Zhang Chu is most afraid of now is that he has seen such news. Tsinghua University and Yan University have never dealt with it very much. I am afraid he will be criticized again. I hope this criticism will not have a big impact.

He died early and was born early. Without thinking too much, he clicked the link sent by Yang Ling to see how the Tsinghua bosses evaluated it and whether they needed crisis public relations.

[The story of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" involves many ancient Chinese alchemy techniques, but the author uses these alchemy techniques to appear to be "scientific", making them look like some kind of precision science.

Zhang Chu's "Ghost Blows Out the Light" repeatedly shows a logical framework: some secret techniques about Feng Shui were passed down in ancient China, and these secret techniques were widely followed by the builders of ancient tombs of all dynasties. Therefore, when this group of "Golden-Touching Captains" who mastered these Feng Shui secret techniques due to special opportunities went to dig up the ancient tombs, they could naturally break through the pass and hit the yellow and dragon.

These "golden lieutenants" are armed with full of modern adventure technology equipment. The construction style of this logical framework is quite scientific - although the components used in the construction are obviously "pseudoscience" in today's mainstream discourse.

So in such a story framework, is the authority of modern science strengthened or dissolved?

On the other hand, there must be many people who believe that such stories objectively play the role of "pseudoscience" that is derogatory to the mainstream discourse today.]

Seeing this, Zhang Chu breathed a little relieved. If it was criticism, it would be a breeze blowing on his face!

So he slid the screen with his fingers and continued to look down.

[Maybe, when we try to analyze the books "Ghost Blows Out the Light" using the categories of "scientism" and "pseudoscience", it seems a bit too simplistic. Or, we might as well compare some "science fiction" works in the West. Among those works, they are simply under the banner of science, but the core basis is not modern scientific theories. Will we call those theories "pseudoscience"?

Are we so naive about the fiction and imagination in this kind of literary work that we use to criticize with "pseudoscience"? At best, we can only say that these fictions have some similarities with those "standard" "pseudoscience".

If some people believe in the "pseudoscience" in the book because they read "Ghost Blows the Light", of course there is no way. Then, it would be like some people who read "play" historical dramas and think that history is really like this, because those who read novels in this way will also believe in "pseudoscience" if they do not read "Ghost Blows the Light" and read other things.]

He is worthy of being a Tsinghua boss, and he can see it clearly!

Zhang Chu really wanted to give him a thumbs up. He was so stupid that he believed that the ghost blowing light was real, and he probably believed that the sow could climb a tree.

Next, the professor's pen turned around and even began to praise Zhang Chu, which was probably something that many netizens had not expected.

Isn't it about pseudoscience?

A professor at Tsinghua University actually supports Zhang Chu!

[I think Zhang Chu's narrative is very interesting, often wandering between theoretical explanations that are more like "science" and theoretical backgrounds that are more like "pseudoscience". Often, the author Zhang Chu will give a scientific explanation of the mysterious phenomena in his book, and will return to the mysterious position of "non-science" from time to time, and maintain a tension between the two, making people feel that it is not too much in any aspect. Perhaps this is a kind of cleverness of the author.

As a literary work, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" also has certain advantages. In addition to smooth text and good mastery of the narrative rhythm, it has also successfully created the character images of several characters.

Most of the stories of tomb robbery adventures in "Ghost Blows Out the Light", two men and one woman - Lao Hu, Fatty and Shirley Yang, are the inevitable protagonists, and the image of these three people is still acceptable.

Lao Hu and Fatty have joined the army, are brave and full of political discourses from special periods, and always use this discourse to express or package their highly commercialized or even gangster robbery. This not only constitutes superficial funny and ironic, but also allows them to live in harmony with Shirley Yang, who has a completely different background.

As a Chinese American beauty Shirley Yang is a Christian and graduated from the US Navy Officer School. Her ancestors are the leader of another tomb robbery group in China. Therefore, the beauty is a combination of ancient and modern times, combined with Chinese and Western styles, and is agile and meticulous, and is simply a top figure.

However, this character further highlights Lao Hu's extraordinaryness - she gradually, however, fell in love with Lao Hu without any suspense.]

There are even thousands of words in this comment discussing whether pseudoscience should be banned. Novels with strong mysticism and excellent narrative strategies have made Zhou Yunfei look forward to the following content even more.

As Zhang Chu thought, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is just a novel, and no readers will be so high-quality that they mistake "Ghost Blows Out the Light" for an academic text or a scientific reading book!
