Chapter 662 Chapter 1528 Times Change, but It Lasts Forever

Chapter 662 Chapter 15.28 Times change, enduring

In the year 3047 of the main world, the 165th orbital space vehicle (space shuttle) on the sun returned to the Earth Space Station this year. After docking, Wei Keng's consciousness returned to the carbon-based body running backup on the space station.

Wei Keng, who returned to the earth from the sun and returned to the carbon-based state, looked outside the window at the super space elevator and said slowly: "What a big change."

The earth in the main world is still in the glorious rising stage. In addition to the field of plane tunneling, the various scientific and technological fields of the earth can still host the active efforts of a large number of talents.

In the 31st century, humans have started comprehensive infrastructure construction in the solar system.

Within this hundred years, the Human Group planned multiple industrial plans:

1: The data infrastructure must be completed in the center of the moon. The moon will not have natural craters, and its surface will be completely covered with geometric man-made areas. Of course, the asteroid impacts that caused craters on the moon's surface no longer exist today. Tens of millions of unmanned space observatories in the inner circle of the solar system will monitor all celestial bodies larger than 30 centimeters approaching the earth, and even if they are close to the earth Laser systems in the lunar system, the moon and Earth orbit will also push away these small bodies.

2: The immigrants on Io have now landed deeply on Jupiter. It is expected to complete communication in the metallic hydrogen layer of Jupiter within two centuries and establish a complete communication network.

3: In the next fifty years, the third "Star Precision Positioning Beam" will be tested on the sun. This laboratory is located in a large celestial body with a diameter of six hundred kilometers, like a carved ball. Inside is the largest high-energy physics experimental center in mankind.

…

The dividends of human physics breakthroughs have begun to be used on a large scale in the solar system.

Looking at human history, the last wave of breakthroughs in human physics on earth was in the modern era, when science and technology began to explode. Human society also experienced super changes every twenty years. But that dividend was too short-lived, lasting only a hundred years, and technological development stagnated by the middle of the 21st century.

This wave of breakthroughs in physics is a super change every hundred years.

Due to the dramatic scale of change, human culture has experienced a cognitive generation gap every hundred years, just as a cognitive generation gap appeared every decade in the late twentieth century.

Wei Keng studied science and technology very hard and kept up with every step. However, in terms of thinking, Wei Keng also had cognitive differences with the younger generation.

For example, Wei Keng still retains the concepts of past countries and nations in his thinking, and his self-positioning habits have oriental characteristics. But in contemporary times, the human federation has undergone a series of subtle changes since the 28th century. The concept of nationality on the earth has begun to disappear, and instead, distinctions have begun to be made based on the planet as a framework.

Various "mountain-isms" in human society will never disappear, but old ones will be replaced by new ones.

The traditional concept of a single nation in the main world disappeared quietly like the aristocratic families in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Instead, there is the clan school.

In the past few hundred years, humans have immigrated to Mars, and the residents of Venus have quietly integrated according to region. In the entire solar system, hybrids account for 50%. Regionalism thrives on every planet.

Each planet has an independent local economic system and is relatively closed. This closure is stronger than the regional closures on Earth in the past. The oceans and mountains on the earth can be connected through ships and railways, but the gravitational pull between planets requires a space station.

…Wei Keng reads history, and Wei Keng himself has experienced history…

Wei Keng: Looking back at the history of the ancient industrial era, in order to break the geographical barriers between the North Atlantic and between the east and west of North America, the Western Group adopted the method of stripping away local economic independence and using international financial industry groups to crush them. Local industrial groups, and then establish integration.

The rise of local industrial capital groups will inevitably lead to conflicts between regions. In the 20th century, whether it was Germany, Russia, or the Japanese Empire, after the rise of local industrial groups, they began to pursue interests, causing friction between regions. war that occurred. The American group defeated Germany, stationed troops in Japan, and fought across Soviet Russia. At the end of the 20th century, it was equivalent to taking over all the industrial production areas in the world. International financial capital achieved a complete victory over local capital.

The victorious global capital began to split up the industrial capital groups in various regions. Let the industry in every traditional industrial country be incomplete. Germany lacks an electronic chip industry, and Japan lacks system design capabilities. Even in the mainland, they have split themselves up. Boeing's production lines in traditional industrial areas, which were originally concentrated in one place, have been split into multiple regions.

Of course, behind all these splits is an increase in the weight of "financial allocation". In the monetary system, the value of "financial allocation" is much greater than the value of actual manufacturing.

In this process, the Internet was the most important monopoly system. For a long time, American Internet giants were tax-free in Europe, Japan, and other emerging regions of the world. Google, Facebook, and Amazon have become major commercial and economic information channels, dominating economies around the world, and thus determining politics.

What happened a thousand years ago is happening today a thousand years later.

Wei Keng: Now the Human Federation relies on the World Wide Web and the outward expansion of the plane system to maintain the internal unity of the main world.

On Earth, Wei Keng looked up and read the latest newspaper network: A veteran time traveler from the main world called for this: Humanity is united and we are brothers all over the world.

Wei Keng glanced at the giants of the Time and Space Administration that were currently in the news, and he knew them all: Micah, his "Destiny Group", and Monat's "Knowledge Bookstore Group".

Mr. Wei yawned.

After hearing about Wei Guangzheng's propaganda system, the old man Wei made a harsh comment: Oh, don't you talk about nationality anymore? Is it really a family relationship? ?

Wei Keng waved his hand leisurely, what's more, not only has the nation not disappeared, but it has become more homogeneous than a thousand years ago.

In the course of the main world from the 25th to the 30th century, there are harsh facts behind this mixed-race fusion: the so-called fusion of various ethnic groups is still the nation-state that entered the industrial age in modern times and has the advantage of the parent series.

Those hybrids on Earth, Venus, and Mars are all genes of developed countries in the 21st century.

Black people, who once accounted for one-third of the world's population a thousand years ago, are now all extinct.

Before the advent of artificial birth chambers, young women were an important reproductive resource for a country. Excluding women through propaganda and tampering with values ​​is a fight for the continuation of the race.

"Fusion"? This is a kind of rhetoric

Only in the past, when those victors who had won a lot of money had an absolute advantage in the discourse system, in order to cover up "the unfairness caused by past advantages in the present", the word "fusion" was used.

In the past thousand years, although large-scale wars have not been fought, various battles have been carried out quietly.

...Master Wei checked the descendants of his old Wei family, and they seemed to be pretty good. Wei Keng said: "Me? I'm fine, I can proliferate"...

In Puhai in 3047, Wei Keng walked into the Earth Federation Space-Time Coordination Committee.

This time, he actively summoned himself to conduct a directional exploration operation.

In the mission hall of the mantle, the supervisor's projection in the white corridor has been accompanying him to explain: There are very few Shangqing Shuttlers who have actively returned to Earth in the past hundred years, and there are very few who can be contacted.

In the hall, Wei Keng met the director-general of the Earth Federation in terms of time and space affairs, whose name was Milesu and whose nickname was Yun Xun.

This is the contemporary naming convention for the upper parts of the earth. The current language mechanism is almost dual, New Latin (a branch of Spanish) and Chinese.

Wei Keng looked at his face and then his name. After checking the information, he suddenly understood: this was the effect of the "Chinese group".

…The historical development of language makes Wei Keng infinitely sad…

Today's New Latin is actually a branch of Latin like English. It has tenacious vitality in the spacecraft cabin system of the solar system.

In the past, English was just like Latin in modern times. Due to too many special nouns, it gradually fell out of civilian circulation, was limited to scientific papers and magazines, and was finally completely replaced.

This is the fate of the Latin language! phonetic language. The amount of information it contains is limited. In order to prevent homophones from appearing in old-era words, it has to be combined to form new words.

Once the ideographic words are combined, it is difficult to repeat them. Four-character idioms have been passed down for thousands of years without being repeated.

For example, "Listen to me", the syllables have the same pronunciation, "You support me and I am embarrassed", "You are embarrassed and I am embarrassed", if these are pinyinized, the ambiguity will be fatal. Every era adds more and more root words, so the "Latin text" that was originally easy to popularize becomes more and more bloated.

Chinese is stable and accurate enough, so in this thousand-year language war of attack and defense, we will fight steadily.

Wei Keng: "A language will become mainstream as long as the main user group adapts to the times. The dilemma of Chinese in the 20th century was that China had not yet industrialized. There were a large number of scientific research vocabulary and industrial codes, and Chinese failed to complete the new era. Vocabulary, so papers need to use foreign words, and codes also need to use foreign words. However, after the completion of comprehensive industrialization in the middle of the twentieth century, the vocabulary reserve has fully kept up with the times."

A thousand years later, its abundant information-carrying capacity has wiped out all other languages ​​in most parts of the world.

In the ancient industrial era, the Vietnamese and so-called Korean languages, which were in the wave of pinyinization, just like popular culture, disappeared in two hundred years. (Refer to Manchu played with the Qing Dynasty.)

As for Japanese, this is originally a branch of the Chinese language family. The Japanese-speaking area, even during its period of strength, was unable to seize the cultural heritage. In the end, it could only leave some words such as "sbarasi" and "sushi" to the Chinese language.

Of course, the Latin family is not extinct. Because the basics of Chinese are more complicated than those of Latin languages. In areas where the vocabulary is not that high, Latin is still needed to communicate quickly.

The "region with a small vocabulary" refers to spacecraft.

All spacecraft are limited relative to the objects they want to identify on the planet. And if objects are limited, there will be no new vocabulary. Just mark "pronunciation".

In the era of interstellar construction, a considerable portion of the population was on spaceships, so the populations working on these spacecrafts spoke relatively clear spoken Latin. .

Oh, human children also first confirm their knowledge of common sense things through Chinese Pinyin.

This kind of language on the spacecraft is very simple. For example: all red fruit leaves are called apples. The same is true for apples, the same is true for dragon fruits, and even the low-gravity seedless lychees.

After learning thousands of common vocabulary and mathematical vocabulary descriptions, you can read and write. Of course, after leaving the spacecraft, such language becomes vocabulary-poor.

Therefore, in today's situation, with the great integration of the entire human race, families in both East and West are pursuing a little cultural literacy. Basically they are bilingual. One set is New Latin for the spacecraft, and the other is Chinese.

Although Chinese is difficult to learn, for today's human beings who have exceeded the life span limit through continuous regeneration, once learned, it is basically once and for all, and communication is basically no problem even if the most popular vocabulary is not updated.

Only the core class of civilization has the advantage of recording in the knowledge inheritance system.

Even in the current Mediterranean civilization, most of the knowledge system is recorded in Chinese as a backup classic. After a hundred or two hundred years, when the Latin script in a region is full of holes occupied by new vocabulary, the original Chinese backup will be translated, and then the original Chinese backup will be translated. Use Latinized scripts to popularize contemporary people.

...Wei Keng: As a person from the old industrial era, I feel weird when I see foreigners and myself being at odds with each other...

So when Wei Keng said: "Yunxun, hello, Chief of Staff," he was about to start the translation software.

Yun Xun also spoke fluent Mandarin: "Mr. Wei Keng, your work on the sun has made you shine."

Wei Keng was a little surprised, and made sure that the vocabulary he used was slower than his own, and responded: "Yunxun, let's get down to business. I came to Earth to take a vacation for seven or eight years."

Faced with this most humble bargain.

Yun Xun, who had prepared a lot of rhetoric, retreated in order to advance, and said with a wry smile: "Oh, Your Excellency, you are now at ease, but we really can't get away from the problem there (the target plane). If you don't go, things will It’s irreversible.”

Yunxun sent out information about the festering conditions of the Mechanicus, the asexually reproducing orcs, and the ugly demons in the reflection space in the era of the "multiple planes" universe.

Wei Keng glanced at it and found that these were all the results of plane decay, but he did not say the cause. When he defined the industrial godhead, it was at the end of the sword and magic era. There was still a long process between this era and the cosmic era. This process is the key to the worsening of serious illness.

So, Wei Keng simply pointed it out directly.

Wei Keng: "You didn't tell me the actual situation of the plane you mentioned! Therefore, I can only plan to spend seven or eight years learning about the situation through my network, and then make a decision. "

Yunxun stared at Wei Keng and confirmed that he was an old man. He is not a stupid young man who randomly assigns people with words.

Wei Keng also stared at Yun Xun, half-smiling but not smiling, cursing in his heart: "When I was pioneering in the pastoral era, you were not even born yet, so you were drawing cakes for me? You really don't know, I studied Spring and Autumn Period. "
