The European Recovery Plan, known as the Jonas Plan in this life, has entered the formal implementation stage.

The countries of Europe are having a hard time right now, but one of the biggest problems is the food problem.

Eastern and Western Europe are currently separated, and no matter how bumper grain harvests are in Ukraine and Poland, it is impossible for a grain to be shipped to Western Europe now.

Western Europe can only meet less than half of the local food demand, and the other half depends on the United States desperately transporting grain from the country.

What is funny is that for the sake of vindictiveness, but also to show the advanced and superior nature of both sides. The East and the West used Berlin as a showcase where everything good was delivered to the people living in Berlin.

The Berlin crisis was marked by the Soviet blockade of railways, roads, including canals.

In West Berlin, two and a half million people live on the rubble, who need at least 4,500 tons of supplies every day. When it was no longer possible to transport goods from the ground into Berlin, the West embarked on one of the greatest transport operations in the history of world air transport.

By agreement between the two sides, the USSR reserved three air corridors for the West. Every day, hundreds of planes carry all kinds of supplies to Berlin within the prescribed limits.

Under harsh conditions, the West arranged for hundreds of planes to take off and land at West Berlin's airport every day on the standard of three minutes.

The Soviet Union originally wanted to embarrass the West, because at that time a plane could carry less than ten tons of cargo, and West Berlin needed nearly 5,000 tons of supplies per day, and it was almost impossible to transport them by planes alone.

However, because of the ambiguity of both sides, the United States transferred almost all of the idle planes in the country and transported all kinds of food, gasoline, machinery, and even coal to Berlin by plane.

On the most recent day, the West relied on airplanes to transport more than 12,000 tons of supplies to West Berlin, which is equivalent to the transportation volume of nearly 2,000 airplanes.

It was also from that day that the Soviet Union saw that it was difficult for the West, and that their own atomic bomb was about to succeed, so it simply lifted the ban.

Although this process is very dull to think about, in the course of this year's crisis, there are countless small contradictions.

Volkswagen's location in Wolfsburg is on the dividing line between East and West, a few kilometers east of Wolfsburg, where the armies of the two sides face off the front.

The Hoffmanns all live in Wolfsburg, and both sides can use the Hoffmanns to force Zhou Nan to contribute. So at this time, it is definitely better for Zhou Nan to leave Europe quietly than to stay in Europe.

But no matter where he wants to go now, he needs a suitable reason, and if he hides openly, it will be even worse.

Therefore, going to the UK to watch the Olympics is a reason, and when the Olympics are over, the construction of the University of South China is almost completed, and the first batch of students will be recruited, and Zhou Nan, the president, has the best reason to go to Nanhua.

Audrey had already finished taking a shower and came to the study in a thin nightdress, and saw Zhou Nan sitting at the desk without writing, and asked with concern: "Honey, I thought you left the party so early to write." ”

Zhou Nan smiled and said: "You have a party with your classmates, I'll just say hello to them, if I stay there, they will be uncomfortable." ”

At the mention of tonight's party, Audrey was happy. "I didn't expect the whole class to come, and although I was tired, I was very happy."

She leaned over, looked at the manuscript paper in front of Zhou Nan, and said with some surprise: "I remember that you wrote last night about the world's steel production at the end of the nineteenth century, why...... You don't seem to have written it today! ”

"Well, there's something on my mind, and I don't want to write about it today."

Audrey helped Zhou Nan pack up the manuscript in front of him and said, "Then don't write it, rest early today." ”

The little housekeeper's wife helped Zhou Nan clean up the manuscript, and at the same time talked about the arrangements after going to London, and arranged everything in an orderly manner.

She has now been promoted to become a housekeeper and the first reader of Zhou Nan's manuscript. Zhou Nan wrote a book, and she has always been the first reader.

Although her knowledge system is not enough to give opinions to Zhou Nan's works, she can help Zhou Nan check for spelling mistakes and grammatical errors, which saves Zhou Nan a lot of things.

Zhou Nan's "Human Society" is now almost finished, and more than four-fifths of it has been written. From the settlement of tribes in ancient times, food gathering, planting, to the spread of various biological species, the impact of viruses on the development of human society, to the changes brought to the world by the development of modern science and technology.

Zhou Nan made a detailed analysis of the inevitability and contingency of human development from a biological perspective.

In the past, historical changes were generally narrated by historians in terms of geographical influences, political systems, and human factors.

However, Zhou Nan's book on human society has changed from a new perspective, interpreting the changes in human society from the diffusion and influence of biological species.

Although in the study of history and humanities, the influence of biological species is only a relatively small research direction, even if it is recognized by others.

But Zhou Nan has completed a "General History of the World", which is to interpret history from a macro perspective. Therefore, this book takes a different path, rather than repeating the same old tune, and does not affect Zhou Nan's academic status.

Moreover, Etinny, Storko, Stockholm, who have already read the book, and Muller, who have provided detailed materials, all have high opinions of this book.

Although the subject is a new discipline and the research perspective is relatively different, the book is highly completed and the academic level is also very high.

In another life, when Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel was published, it caused an uproar in the academic community.

The main value of this book lies in the interdisciplinary perspective, which is what makes this book the most amazing and emotional.

Science has been working in silos for a long time, but the result is only an increase in local complexity without a substantial breakthrough, and many valuable ideas have to jump out of the part to see the whole picture.

The greatest value of this book may not be the conclusions, because although the book has won many awards, there are still many flaws in the content.

The greatness of this book lies in the open-minded way of looking at the various approaches to research.

When he wrote "General History of the World", Zhou Nan did not have much self-confidence, and two-thirds of the book was still the content of Lao Si's "General History of the World".

However, in this book "Human Society", Zhou Nan is almost entirely new except for the research method adopted by Diamond.

In the original book, Diamond has always been caught in the entanglement of long-term predestined theory and short-term contingency theory, his perspective is novel, and his research method is very advanced, but the perspective is definitely not broad.

His achievements were built on those who had gone before him, and the Internet had already appeared at the time of his book, so he had an advantage over Lao Si and Toyn in searching for information.

But in terms of the accumulation of knowledge in academic theories, he is not as good as these people.

And Zhou Nan has been studying for decades in another life, and in terms of academic level, he is no longer weaker than any other person.

So now, he doesn't bother to plagiarize anyone's work anymore, but relies on his own strength to complete the book.

The only thing he borrowed was the research method of the other party.

In this book "Human Society", he takes historical time as the main line, and integrates the biological transmission, virus influence, and productivity development of the entire history at the same time.

The historical influences of each different stage are integrated together to form a work with a grand perspective and a novel perspective.

This kind of historical work, which completely abandons the influence of politics, humanities, and geography, can be said to deviate from the mainstream.

However, Zhou Nan used his rich knowledge accumulation to exceed the public's advanced vision, and wrote the content of this work in detail, interesting and philosophical.

Although Audrey can only be read as a popular science storybook many times, she can read it and find it interesting, and Zhou Nan already feels that it has succeeded.

Truly great works are never out of touch with the public and unacceptable.

Just like Russell's article, his talent can be said to be outstanding. However, his works are esoteric and obscure, which leads to the poor sales of his books, and he has lived a miserable life for most of his life.

and Zhou Nan's favorite Wittgenstein, until he was almost seventy years old, Zhou Nan could understand the meaning of his article, for ordinary people, they are too high and low.

Zhou Nan didn't want to be like them, he wanted his works to be philosophical, but also easy to understand, just like Taizu, whom he admired the most.

In fact, much of the political economy he is now teaching to his students comes from Taizu. Whether from a theoretical or practical point of view, his greatness is comparable to him in the world, and there are only a handful.

"It's raining heavily again, and it's inconvenient to go out tomorrow." After packing up the papers, it was raining again outside, and it was getting heavier and heavier. Audrey said with some grumbling.

"What day is it not raining during this time? It's okay, you pack your bags first, and I'll go check if the windows are closed. ”

Zhou Nan checked the window next to the bedroom, and happened to see Popler patrolling with a flashlight, and carrying an animal that he couldn't tell what it was.

At the beginning of this year, Popler resigned, and he and Flegg became Zhou Nan's full-time bodyguards, which also made Jonas Farm much more protected.

"Popler, what are you carrying?"

"A feather deer, it's hurt, I need to get some medicine for it."

Downstairs, Kelly had opened the door. "Come on ......, what a beautiful fawn, it's so pathetic."

Audrey, who heard the movement, ran out quickly: "Where did the fawn come from?" I'm going downstairs to take a look. ”

Zhou Nan looked at her pajamas and smiled: "Don't worry, you go and change your clothes first!" ”

She looked at the pajamas on her body and glanced at Zhou Nan shyly. "Of course I know, I don't want you to warn me."
