Lucifer sacrificed too much for world peace

Since Lucifer made a suggestion, he was naturally ready to do it himself.

But for the riddle, because it is very different from the culture of the earth, many crossword puzzles and culture-related ones cannot be used.

E.g……

"Today is the Thanksgiving Festival. Xiao A went out to join in the fun, but found that there was no one on the street. May I ask why?"

Lucifer gave examples to others, and then explained the characteristics of this kind of puzzle: "Don't infer from common sense, this is a text trap, after you master the skills, you can come up with your own questions."

The bosses fell into deep thought.

"He misremembered the time...?" Alexandre Dumas asked uncertainly.

Lucifer shook his head.

Miss Hugo also guessed: "Is that because he is dreaming?"

Lucifer continued to shake his head.

Edgar Allan Poe had a flash of inspiration: "Could it be because...there is no one on the street, but all one by one?"

Lucifer gave a rare smile and nodded: "Congratulations, you got the answer right."

Others were taken aback.

"It's a puzzle of this kind of feeling!" Pushkin said with emotion, "I feel like I've got the hang of it... There's still a lot of space left, can you come up with some more?"

So Lucifer did what they wanted, and then gave a bunch of things that people on earth are tired of seeing, such as "what questions you ask anyone, and the answer is no", "what things get dirty the more they are washed", etc. Questions, and then let them learn to write their own questions.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. You can't come to him when you encounter such a thing in the future, right?

A group of people were still worried about Andersen's non-submission of the manuscript, but now they don't care, and they are keen to discuss these brain teasers and how to come up with their own questions.

When they were discussing, Lucifer was flipping through the sent manuscripts and found that the quality had really improved significantly compared to the beginning.

At the beginning, everyone may not understand what to write about. Now that the brain hole is opened, it is not limited to adventure and daily themes. People live in the underground and in the sea even in fantasy. Ordinary people stray into the ground or into the deep sea by mistake. The story also appeared.

Although the plot is still a bit blunt, in the eyes of people in this world, it is already a great idea. Looking at the comments of the editorial team of "I Do My Way", I am obviously very optimistic about this person——

Oh, the signature is Jules Verne.

That's fine.

But didn’t Verne say that he would come to the Garden of Eden to see the steam engine, and then he would write a solicitation for “the city I will live in a hundred years from now”?Why do I still have time to write other novels... This is the legendary one, when the inspiration comes, it can't be blocked! ?

Lucifer admired it very much, and hoped that this situation would continue.

Flipping and flipping through, Lucifer turned out the insights about life written by Hegel and Montaigne that Pushkin said before.

He took a general look, and found that he probably worried that the writing was too obscure, and other people would not be able to read it. The writing of these two people is quite easy to understand, so that even those who are not interested in the text without a story can bear it. Can't stop watching, and can gain some insights.

At this time, the literature group next to them also discussed some brain teasers. They even decided to put the answers to these questions in the next issue, and only put the questions in this issue. Pull the reader's viscosity.

However, for typesetting, they had to listen to Lucifer's talk about how many words the remaining part would take up, so that they could determine how many questions they needed to ask.

"Master Sage, when you say continuation, do you mean that we write half of the story and let others write the rest?"

Alexandre Dumas asked: "This kind of restriction is a bit too much. There are far fewer people who are really willing to write than those who simply read stories. This method is a bit tasteless for those who only want to read stories."

Lucifer was just talking casually before, and he was quite happy to find that they would think independently instead of just accepting what he said: "Then what do you think?"

"I think it's best for most people to participate..." Dumas said shyly, "That's what I said, but I can't think of anything at the moment."

"Well... I understand." Lucifer thought for a while and said, "Then let's discuss a more controversial topic."

Others said blankly: "The more controversial one? A steam engine?"

Lucifer coughed: "Don't mention this, wait until everyone feels the benefits... For example, it is..."

Originally, Lucifer wanted to give a moral dilemma similar to the trolley problem, but after thinking about it, he felt that it might be too exciting for this simple world, so he changed the topic to "The Ship of Theseus".

"In a city, in order to commemorate a man named... Well, Jack led other people to sea, they left the boat they took as a souvenir, but the wood is easy to break, and the broken part will be replaced by a good one, then The question is, if all the parts of the ship are replaced, is it still the same ship?"

As soon as the classic thought experiment on this earth appeared, people in this world were stunned.

"This...although it seems a bit strange, but it still feels like that ship?" Alexandre Dumas said hesitantly.

Pushkin also nodded and said: "After all, there is nothing to do if it is broken. If it is a souvenir, it must be repaired."

Miss Hugo hesitated to speak.

So Lucifer asked the next question: "If the replaced parts are reassembled into the same ship, which ship is the real Jack's ship?"

Now, even Pushkin and Alexandre Dumas, who spoke in support of the new ship just now, are silent

"...The ship assembled from the replaced parts should be the real Jack's ship, right? After all, these are the original things, aren't they?" Miss Hugo said uncertainly.

Poe shook his head: "But, until the last part is replaced, everyone should regard the new boat as Jack's boat, right?"

"It is not accurate to say that it is the last part." Pushkin said distressedly, "Perhaps when the replacement exceeds 50%, this issue should be considered."

Alexandre Dumas looked troubled: "I don't think there's something wrong with this question..."

It was probably the first time they had encountered such a question that sounded very reasonable, and they had discussed it for a long time without any result.

In the end, Dumas looked at the time and chose to stop.

"Okay, I understand what is going on with this question... We can't discuss the correct answer for a while, and we can't even say whether there is a correct answer, so we put this question in our In the newspapers, everyone’s discussion is aroused—this threshold is low, even people who can’t write can participate as long as they can think, and it must be used as a serial to fill in Andersen, and the voice of protest will not be too loud.”

Others agreed.

Lucifer was also very satisfied.

Yes, what is the continuation of writing? Let people in this world use their brains more and learn to think independently. This is what he should really find a way to promote now.

Let's talk about the topic of "The Ship of Theseus" first, and then release some cases based on the church's divine punishment records, let them discuss the punishment that should be received in this situation, roughly how strong it is not too much... so In an unknown period of time, legislation may be put on the agenda.

Soon, the editorial team of "I Do My Way" discussed a plan.

"This issue starts with the topic, and welcomes everyone to contribute their thoughts on this 'Jack's Ship'. The next issue will release the answers to the puzzles, and start publishing some 'Jack's Ship' discussions to increase everyone's enthusiasm... Considering remote areas It is estimated that there will be many consecutive publications, so we will publish two short stories less from the next issue."

As he said that, Dumas sighed: "When will the steam train be opened? I really can't wait to see other people's opinions!"

"It's coming soon." Lucifer said, "I can't wait to watch it too."

As long as the steam train starts to operate and saves the time for communication and transportation in different places, then the progress of this world will be accelerated!

Let the industrial revolution come more violently!
