Chapter 7 Section five

The evaluation of books should be divided into two parts. Natural science books are relatively simple to judge. They follow the same set of rigorous logic and can be judged by a universal objective rule. "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" and the periodic table of elements, no matter who scores, will not be much different. But for things that are not natural sciences, the difficulty is much greater.Because they often lack objective standards, most of them come from subjective feelings.Everyone's taste, knowledge, and ideology are different, which leads to ever-changing criteria for judging these things, one's meat, my poison.In the eyes of a thousand people, Hamlet has a thousand different personalities; Xue Baoqin has more than ten thousand answers to the riddles of the ancient poems; Han Han's team has more than one hundred people;

However, the stock of these books accounts for more than 70% of the entire library collection.Therefore, now we have to abandon our own preferences and standpoints, hold our noses, and explore the taste of this designer who has never met before, just like exploring the object of a crush. The rules are simple: if he likes books, he will lose points if he burns them; if he doesn't like books, he will gain points if he burns them.After listening to Zhu Jiayin's words, Shao Xuecheng decisively decided that everyone should evacuate to the top first and gather others together.His judgment is very clear, now there are only five stupid old men, and any judgment will inevitably be biased.The eight people upstairs include men, women, market aunts, and devout believers. They can ensure that the coverage is rich enough and the designer's personality is more accurately grasped.

We went up, called the others together, and told what happened next.When those half-dead guys heard that there were warm rooms and sufficient food downstairs, their morale was greatly boosted. Even Sister Zheng and Li Chao, two extreme atheists and extreme theists, excitedly shook hands with each other.The only one who didn't express his opinion was Old Wang. After he woke up, he was tied up in a corner by Wuhuada, rolling his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.Everyone was excited for a while, Long Aotian suddenly interjected: "Then how do we burn it?" yelled.But Xu Qi stopped him: "Calm down, it's easy to burn books, but it will be troublesome if you burn the wrong one. Our top priority is to establish a methodology and establish a designer's personality model with the least cost. This step is completed, and the rest It’s just pure physical work.” Tian Xiao always disliked Xu Qi, and sneered, “What methodology! I think you’re playing tricks. What’s the problem? Doesn’t he hate travel books? Burn it all; he hates C++, so we just burned all the programming textbooks with one torch, isn’t it over?” Xu Jia pushed his glasses: “Classification is a way, but it can’t be said that it is completely risk-free. In the same category of books, Designers may have very different interests. For example, in philosophy, I like Wittgenstein, but I especially hate Hegel." At this time, Xu Cong poked his head over and echoed: "Yes, yes, Nalan Rongruo The lyrics are graceful and moving, but I don't have much affection for Nalan Xingde." "Stop talking nonsense! Those two are basically the same person!" Xu Qi said.

Tian Xiao looked very irritable: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you guys want?" "It would be great if you could remember exactly which books we burned just now..." Shao Xuecheng's eyes flashed suddenly when he said this, Walking up to Lao Wang, "In the beginning, you forced us to register before burning the books. Is it actually for this purpose?" His words reminded us all.At the beginning of the burning of books, Lao Wang put forward the condition that every book to be burned must go through the book borrowing process and be registered before being thrown into the fire.We thought it was pedantic at first, but now we think of the weird way to open the doomsday base, only to find that Lao Wang's actions have a lot of meaning.

"Why did you register to burn books? Why did you stop us from entering the base? Why can only my blood open the door?" Shao Xuecheng asked three questions in a row, but Lao Wang only sneered and didn't speak at all.Shao Xuecheng asked Wang Dapeng to go outside and get the registration card back.According to the classification of the registered books, the author's interest distribution may be roughly inferred.As a result, after Wang Dapeng took the registration card back, everyone looked at it and found that there were only a few records, and they were all written down during my administration. After Shao Xuecheng seized power, he changed the way of selecting books and abolished the registration process. The records can be followed.

Shao Xuecheng frankly admitted his mistakes and called on everyone to brainstorm.Everyone racked their brains and thought hard.I suddenly thought of a good idea, and clapped my hands: "Have you ever played Eighteen Guessing?" "Yes! I have played! I reached out and touched my sister's face, and dark clouds flew across the sky for a long time..." Xu Cong sang happily.Shao Xuecheng kicked him unceremoniously: "Get out! You are fucking eighteen!" "Eighteen guessing is a guessing game. You have someone in mind, and we will ask you questions. What do you use?" Or not to answer. Within the eighteen questions, the questioner must guess the person in the mind of the questioner." I briefly explained.In this environment, the designer is the person being asked, and his yes or no will be expressed by the increase or decrease of the score after the book is burned.As long as the books are chosen well, we should be able to guess what his interests are.

At this time, Zhu Jiayin reminded: "There is a risk here. From the experiment just now, we can see that the points of each book are different. It is very likely that a wrong book will be burned, and the points deducted will be higher than those obtained before." All points are high. You see, just now, I burned "The Complete Book of Jin Ping Mei", and deducted a full 15 points. I have to burn several travel books to make up for it. A mistake will ruin all our previous efforts." "Can you find out how perverted this designer is?" Shao Xuecheng asked. "Yes!" Zhu Jiayin ran into the library, picked out for a long time, and brought a pile of books out of breath.We arranged for Long Aotian and Xiaoying to go to the entrance of the basement, firstly, to report the changes in the numbers at any time, and secondly, the two of them are too weak, and the lower part is relatively warmer.

Zhu Jiayin burned these books one by one, and then asked Xiaoying and Long Aotian to upload the increase and decrease of the scores from the underground, as follows: Jin Ping Mei Ci Hua + 4 Drawings of the real version of Jin Ping Mei - 20 the complete version of Jin Ping Mei - 15 Jin Ping Mei's modern translation of the clean version + 5 Everyone gathered together to study what this series of numbers means. Zhu Jiayin analyzed: "The author's orientation towards pornography is not much different from ordinary people. He is more fond of the full version of Jin Ping Mei than the clean version, and more interested in the illustrated version than the text version." At this time, I interjected: "I would like to add one more thing. This change in score also exposed the designer's ignorance in classical literature." "What? Isn't this score normal?" Zhu Jiayin was surprised.

"No, you are all confused by the title of the book. "Jin Ping Mei Ci Hua" is the earliest version of Jin Ping Mei. It is the new version released by the people of the Qing Dynasty after the abridgement, which is the real first clean book. The designer obviously took the literal meaning out of the text. When he saw "Ci Hua", he thought it was just a collection of poems, and when he saw the "true picture book", he thought it was an erotic illustration , so the score setting is reversed—that is to say, the designer is very ignorant of classical culture.” After I finished speaking, I found that everyone was looking at me, and at the end Xu Cong raised his thumb and said: “Old Ma , you are really good at it.” After experimenting with the Jin Ping Mei series, everyone was encouraged.After an agreement, we decided to conduct tests from the aspects of sexual orientation, political orientation, economic orientation and literary orientation.To judge a person's reading taste, these dimensions should be enough.

In order to be more accurate, we also found a few personality test books, including nine types and fourteen types. After reference, we burned them, and the score actually increased a little bit. A person's sexual orientation is very critical, it is the fundamental source of almost all human nature.It's a pity that the library is too formal to have any strictly pornographic material.I suggest looking for "Their World" by Li Yinhe and "East Palace and West Palace" by Wang Xiaobo.Liu Yue was even more blunt, saying that she would know by taking a few Tanmei comics.We were arguing, Shao Xuecheng came over, unceremoniously threw away all the things we wanted to burn, and turned around to fetch a stack of fashion magazines.

He first burned "CQ" as the cover of Wu Yanzu, and the score increased; he burned Zeng Li's men's clothing as the cover, and the score decreased; finally, he threw a few danmei books in Liu Yue's hand into the fire, and the score rose sharply More than twenty points.We further tested his detailed preferences.Having said that, I have to praise the magazine business, although pornography is banned in our country, we can find almost everything imaginable in magazines of all types.The designer had nowhere to hide under the attack of his thighs and beautiful buttocks, obediently showing his true colors.We soon learned that he has a slight M tendency, he is a pantyhose fan, a uniform fan, especially swimsuits, and he may be a virgin.The last point we guessed by the big penalty for incineration. "Normal male." Shao Xuecheng patted the ashes in his hands and came to a conclusion.But Zhu Jiayin said: "I can't see it..." After he finished speaking, he burned Lin Miaoke's Olympic photo album, and not long after, Long Aotian shouted in panic: "What are you burning, it has plummeted by more than 30 points here! "We looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking on the bright side, at least there is a small category of books that we don't have to burn.The political test followed with results, thanks to Tian Xiao and Xu Qi.Shao Xuecheng arranged for them to be responsible for collecting the works of the opposing camp respectively.You must know that the people who know you best are often your enemies, and they have completed the collection of works with amazing efficiency. First of all, "On American Democracy" was thrown into the fire, and the news immediately came from below: "The score has increased by 10 points." Tian Xiao was overjoyed: "I knew, the designer must be from our side!" Xu Qi sneered Then I threw in a "Concise Course on the History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks)", and the score suddenly jumped by 25 points. "He doesn't like liberals, and he doesn't like Stalin either. Could it be that he is a Trotskyist?" Tian Xiao was full of doubts.Xu Qi is also quite puzzled. In the books that have been burned so far, many viewpoints are tit-for-tat and contradictory to each other. For example, Hayek and Keynes have received the same bonus points for their books, which shows that the designers of these books do not like them. "Ya is an anarchist!" This is the conclusion that Tian Xiao and Xu Qi came to together.But Shao Xuecheng shook his head, turned around and asked Xu Cong: "Do you like Hayek? Do you agree with Trotsky? Do you support He Xin's views?" Xu Cong shook his head blankly: "Who is this? No I've heard of it." Shao Xuecheng pointed at Xu Cong: "Have you seen it? This is the correct answer. The designer, like him, has never seen these things at all. Just looking at the title of the book makes me sleepy." For us, this is a big problem. good news.This means that there will be a large number of writings, regardless of left and right, which can be thrown into the fire without distinction.The real trouble is the literary orientation.Books in the categories of science fiction, suspense, military, and tomb robbery all lose their points after being burned, which is in line with the taste of a normal man.After we come to this conclusion, we can safely burn all the romance novels to earn extra points.It turned out that a lot of points were deducted from and, but extra points were added to the above.This seriously doesn't fit our emerging model of male taste, and it makes everyone nervous.If this model turns out to be wrong, then we will have to reinvent the wheel, and time will be very tight.Liu Yue stared at the ashes of those books thoughtfully, and suddenly she asked, "Have the other books of Duras and Haruki Murakami been burned?" I told her that not only were they burned, but the score was positive.Liu Yue showed emotion: "What does this mean? It means that the designer doesn't like these two authors at all, he has only read these two works." "Then he still thinks so highly of those two works?" Xu Eggplant asked back. Liu Yue sighed and said, "Don't you understand yet? This designer once had a girlfriend who was a douban. In order to please her, he read many of her favorite books, and these books have become his fond memories. , including, including—maybe his girlfriend still likes Lin Shaohua and hates Shi Xiaowei—but when he started reading, she proposed to break up, so only this book turned into a painful memory, which made him extremely painful. This kind of The feeling of loss is directly reflected in the increase and decrease of the score." In our minds, a lonely figure gradually emerged, holding a photo and crying all night, facing the QQ on the computer, crying all night while making plans for the doomsday base The sun burns and weeps.Until one day, he stopped crying, wiped away his tears, and yelled viciously at the mirror in the bathroom: "I want to make it difficult for everyone!" "Damn it!" Shao Xuecheng cursed fiercely. That's the source of all this trouble.Other doomsday bases may already be having parties or watching movies together, but we are still in this freezing library, talking about books one by one.If we are really frozen to death, what will the archaeologists think of us hundreds of years later?A group of literary youths who never forget to read after freezing to death?That misunderstanding is too big. Fortunately, such days don't have to last long.We did a lot of careful experimentation, and we settled on a few broad categories of books that he definitely wouldn't like.There are only 100,000 knowledge points to open the gate of the base, while the library has 200,000 books, and the scores are different, so there is a lot of room for error.A book is thrown into the fire, and the numbers gradually rise, sometimes fall, but overall they continue to climb.Just when we were exhausted and the whole library was almost filled with smoke, the counter finally reached 99999.It was almost impossible to treat people in the library. Shao Xuecheng took everyone—including the bound old Wang—covering their mouths and noses with a piece of cloth dipped in melted snow, and filed down to the gate of the basement on the second floor.He held a "Naked Makeup Bible" in his hand. According to our personality test, the designer will never be interested in this kind of female beauty textbook full of close-up facial features. It is the safest way to burn the last book . "Then I burned it?" Shao Xuecheng asked everyone.Everyone held their breath—not because they were nervous, but because they were too choked—and stared at the book in his hand.With no one looking away, there will be warmth and food soon, and none of us want to miss this historic moment.Shao Xuecheng lit the book in his hand, the flame first lightly licked the corners, the corners of the book suddenly turned up, he skillfully turned the book upside down, the flame rushed up, and soon the whole book was blazing. The counter beeped crisply, but the faces of all of us changed drastically.I saw the number jumped from 99999 to 99899, ​​a full drop of 100 points. That said, the designers thought highly of the book and were particularly upset that we burned it. "Why is this? Could it be that he is still a deep-hidden pseudonym and a transvestite?" Tian Xiao shouted angrily.At this moment, Shao Xuecheng was also at a loss.Xu Cong grabbed Liu Yue, Xiaoying and Sister Zheng: "You are women, tell me, what's going on?" The three women shook their heads in panic. This kind of weird thing was completely beyond their imagination.Zhu Jiayin hurriedly opened the personality analysis we had written on the paper, muttered and restarted the analysis, then raised her head and said dejectedly: "No! We have ruled out 100% the possibility that he is a fake woman and a transvestite, it is impossible for him to be so Love The Naked Makeup Bible. There's no logical explanation for this, it's so weird." Everyone was in a mess, like rats on a sinking ship about to dock.Shao Xuecheng, who has always been the most resourceful, is also at a loss. He can't enter the base, and he can't go back to the library. We will be trapped to death here ironically. Just then, a thought flashed through my mind.I grabbed Zhu Jiayin's arm: "Look at the designer's personality test, did he mention his preference for pornographic text and pictures?" Zhu Jiayin nodded: "Yes, his sensitivity to pornography , because of long-term sexual repression, so it is higher than normal people." I asked again: "So he should have the habit of masturbation?" "That is absolutely certain." "Frequent masturbation will cause blurred vision , isn’t it?” “That’s right! But I only knew it from the book.” Zhu Jiayin added another sentence of explanation.My heart beat wildly, and the mystery was finally solved.I found Shao Xuecheng and shouted to him: "I see, I know why the designer, as a normal man, has such a high opinion of "Naked Makeup Bible." "What's going on?" Shao Xuecheng frowned. "First of all, we need to be clear about one thing. There are 200,000 books in this library, and it is impossible for the designer to read all of them. From our political test just now, we can know that he rarely scores books because of himself. I have actually read it, and most of them are judged by the title or brief introduction of the book.” Everyone was attracted by my explanation, as if I was the last piece of driftwood. "The designer's eyesight is not very good because of masturbation for a long time. He is an ordinary person, and he will make mistakes and see mistakes." When I finished speaking, I took a deep breath, "The problems we face, to put it bluntly, are actually It's very simple, he regarded "Naked Makeup Bible" as "Naked Women's Bible". Although he didn't read the content carefully, he was very interested in this title, so he gave it a high rating." "And because of this damn We are all trapped here, we cannot go up and down." Shao Xuecheng's face was terribly gloomy.If possible, I guess he would have picked out the designer and beat him to death. The smoke billowed from above, and it was impossible to return. The "Naked Makeup Bible" was the last book we brought down.It is impossible for us to find books worth 101 points to burn. In a word, we are dead.
