Fog Locked Mountains and Rivers

"After every civilization reaches its peak, it will enter a stage where it is unable to realize itself: it no longer seeks the outside world and cannot correct itself with reference to reality. Instead, it begins to believe that it is the truth. It will move from the peak to fragmentation and finally slide to the bottom." At the undergraduate thesis defense scene, Huan Mengyu's words put the entire audience on mute mode. "This is not a historical necessity, but the inertia of civilization." After the defense was completed, Huan Mengyu took her things and left. The scene was silent because her "Calibration", as an undergraduate thesis, was too over the top and did not adhere to academic standards. After she voluntarily gave up her degree, she became a temporary administrator of the ancient books archives, repairing ancient books every day. The outside world just happened as it should, and she didn't want to participate anyway. But she soon discovered that the changes in the world were inseparable from any reality. For example, she went from a standard data set to a consensus definition right, to the archives being deliberately burned, and finally she was directly pushed to an ethics hearing. During the hearing, twelve top scholars regarded her as a sinner of civilization and fiercely questioned her about her motives for burning the archives. Huan Mengyu sat in the dock, looking at the indignant faces, and said calmly: "Have you noticed that we haven't asked ourselves for a long time: Are we wrong?" This is the last chance for civilization to calibrate, but when most civilizations hear this question, they no longer understand it, because the fog has long locked up these magnificent and real mountains and rivers. Formalism VS the spirit of truth-seeking There is a male protagonist, the story is not sad, and the intelligent female protagonist is a refreshing novel. Purpose: Seeking truth is the only way to calibrate civilization
