Professor Oxford first habitually wanted to refute, saying that the Western world has no prejudices about the East.

But he pondered for a moment, and then thought about the identity of the person in front of him, and felt that there was no point in quibbling.

"I can't let go of this preconception. However, it is a bit biased to summarize the differences between the Eastern and Western worlds simply in terms of linguistic structure. ”

Chen Feng shook his head, "Of course, we can't just talk about the structure of language, but Eastern and Western scholars have written a lot about the analysis of the differences between civilizations between the two modes of thinking, and they have explained it very thoroughly. My personal view is that none of the status quo can be drawn in isolation from history. ”

"There is no denying the backwardness of the East in recent centuries. But we can assume a scenario where the East had not lagged behind, and the East and West would have maintained a high degree of information exchange during the first industrial revolution. What do you think the world will be like now? ”

Professor Oxford thought about it for a long time, and felt that he couldn't imagine it.

Of course, it could also be that he didn't want to answer.

Chen Feng smiled, "I can tell you a more 'hypocritical' answer. We can even do another survey, and I believe that more than 80% of native Chinese speakers will answer the same question. If the East had not lagged behind, the world would be better, peace would no longer be an illusion, perhaps a community with a shared future for mankind had already come true, and mankind was now seriously pondering the colonization of Mars. ”

Professor Oxford: "That's you glorifying your own humanity. You've done a good job of ideological work. ”

Chen Feng spread his hands: "I have previously analyzed with you the difference between the fast and slow thinking structures of Chinese and English. Don't you realize that the worldview of a fast-thinking native Chinese speaker is difficult for others to shape? I recognize that the information that is predominantly circulated in all countries has a certain systematic nature. ”

"But fast structure: Native speakers get information faster, and they get a larger amount of information every day. The positions of those who carry out information processing are not completely consistent, so even if we still receive the information being processed, the direction of processing is diversified and dialectical. ”

"In the world of the Chinese language, no one and no force can accurately shape the worldview of native Chinese speakers. We can have the national self-confidence and form the world view we are now, not because of who shapes it for us, but because of the history of civilization that we have inherited for 5,000 years, and the large amount of information that each of us absorbs more actively every day. ”

"The self-confidence and self-discipline of native Chinese speakers come from the large amount of diversified information they quickly absorb from childhood to adulthood. The Chinese civilization is famous for its construction, and it is precisely because we were able to quickly complete the accumulation of basic knowledge in the process of growing up and began to create wealth for society and civilization. ”

"Our ordinary eyes can also be more down-to-earth in front of us, instead of always thinking about those illusory futures. On the contrary, it is whose fault that native English speakers are now completely immersed in the trap of over-consumption when they should have better planned for the future? ”

Professor Oxford disagreed, "If the East leads the world, there will be plunder, exploitation and oppression. ”

Chen Feng: "Predation is indeed one of the human nature. But the people who carried out the plunder were different, and the results were different. A civilization that is good at building often thinks not of fishing for all its resources when plundering others, but of mutual benefit and win-win results. We're definitely going to eat the lion's share too, but we're going to leave plenty of room for the plundered to grow. ”

"Under our model, the wealth of the entire community with a shared future for mankind is increased and amplified, rather than simply being transferred from region A to region B. Our exploitation is benign exploitation, which can no longer be called exploitation, but a win-win situation, and can also be called sustainable development. ”

The poor old professor of Oxford was embarrassed to find that he could not argue with the young man in front of him.

He was a little annoyed at first, but his mood quickly calmed down.

At this time, it was Chen Feng's status in the academic world that played an effect.

Others will always be more tolerant of what he says.

After completing a questionnaire report from the native Chinese-speaking region, the Oxford professor's project was declared a great success.

But he was not happy, and even refused Chen Feng's invitation to further expand the survey sample to 10 million people, and returned to China with his team.

Chen Feng didn't deliberately take a tone, he enthusiastically sent the other party on the plane, and said that Xingfeng Research Institute would also set up subordinate research institutions in social sciences and economics, and then sent a very formal invitation to join the other party, which was courteous and impeccable.

After returning to the company, Chen Feng scanned the international news while sorting out his thoughts more seriously.

Although he has a hard mouth in front of others and praises his native Chinese language, in fact, he is also very soberly aware that as a leader of civilization, he cannot only look at the shortcomings of others and ignore his own shortcomings.

We must be more dialectical and rational in our own considerations.

In fact, both languages have their own advantages and disadvantages, and both have their inevitability.

There is no reproductive isolation between human races, regardless of skin color, and humans share a common genetic system and almost identical brain structure, but in the course of historical evolution, two distinct linguistic structures have subtly emerged.

There is only one reason, the instinct of civilization needs.

This is the driving force of the human instinct for competition.

There are advantages and disadvantages to the two language constructs, which are very different in terms of speed and slowness.

In a slow-thinking society, people at the bottom tend to be more ignorant.

Because of the slow speed of information acquisition and the high time cost of information acquisition.

However, native English speakers who are engaged in academic and professional work can make up for the lack of learning efficiency and gain a stronger knowledge system with more accumulated study time.

Slowness means that they have more time to think critically in the learning process.

In a fast-thinking society, people at the bottom are more likely to obtain basic information, and the people's degree of intellectual civilization is relatively higher.

However, the disadvantage is that if you are a non-professional, the multi-faceted knowledge structure of the fast-thinking population is not solid, and it is commonly known as the door-to-door plague.

Because the fast-paced knowledge system is built too fast, the foundation is not strong enough.

It is easy for native Chinese speakers to learn things superficially, but if they want to be flawless, they need to spend more time consolidating their knowledge system and slowly consolidating their foundation.

From the perspective of quantum thinking, it is understood that the fragmented memory spiral that is quickly established needs to be repeated and consolidated more times in order to form a more stable law.

This time to re-consolidate the foundation is actually not much shorter than that of native English speakers, and it is basically the same.

There may be some geniuses who show individual differences, but Chen Feng will consider the problem from a more holistic framework.

Therefore, at the level of basically qualified middle- and upper-class intellectuals, the proportion of fast-thinking expert-level scholars is higher.

But at the level of top intellectuals, the efficiency dividends eaten by the fast thinking structure are spit out.

At present, the proportion of native Chinese speakers among the world's top scientists is relatively low, and even far below the proportion of one-fifth of the population.

For this disparity, the more external statement is the difference in national conditions.

Because China, the main body of fast thinking, is currently playing the role of a catch-up, and in the process of catching up, it always needs to face the scientific blockade line of the construction of a slow-thinking society.

Relative backwardness in many areas is an objective fact that is not subject to personal will.

Most scholars born in a Chinese-speaking environment must first break through the blockade before they can acquire truly top-notch knowledge, and fast-thinking China has an additional dilemma than slow-thinking Europe and the United States.

A more idealistic statement is Chen Feng's so-called theory that language determines thinking patterns.

In the social structure of fast thinking, the grassroots knowledge of ordinary people is better, but in the top stage, there will be a certain degree of efficiency decay of fast thinking.

Theoretically, if a fast thinker is a native speaker with a calm personality, he or she can lay a solid foundation step by step in the process of learning and accumulating knowledge.

But this has another prerequisite for a calm and tenacious character, so proportionally speaking, slow thinking is indeed easy to produce middle class intellectuals, and leads to a disparity in the number and proportion of top intellectuals.

In terms of the number of top intellectuals, people who are quick to think about the structure of their native language lags slightly behind.

The reasons are very complex and multifaceted, and Chen Feng can only stubbornly believe that no matter what kind of mother tongue, the difficulty of reaching the end of the knowledge of the era is the same.

It's just that the complicated external environment in the real world eventually led to such a result, so he can only look at the world with a dialectical and idealistic idea.

He believes that the most perfect and labor-saving shortcut is to perfectly integrate the environments of the two languages, so that future generations can think regardless of the fast and slow structure in the process of growth.

It's an innate fusion.

There is one of the most vivid cases around him.

Ryan, a young scholar who grew up in a bilingual environment and whose mother tongue is not divided into Chinese and English.

It is true that Ryan's success is inseparable from his personal talent and hard work, but his presence at least has given Chen Feng confidence.

At the same time, Chen Feng also wants to pursue the integration of the day after tomorrow.

A true scholar can break free from the constraints of his native language environment.

Growing up in a Chinese environment at an early age, entering the English environment in the growth stage, and then mastering English proficiently with strong learning ability, and merging the advantages of the two languages into his own brain.

This kind of perfect fusion of the day after tomorrow can elect more representatives, such as Li Zhengdao, Yang Zhenning, Ding Zhaozhong, Tong Dizhou and others.

Chen Feng felt that this was also good, at least it provided a new possibility.

But some people may question him, express disbelief in his views, and sarcastically mock him, "Do you think that a purely Chinese-speaking environment can't get out of the university?" ”

Chen Feng could only reluctantly say that there was, but the quantity and quality were not satisfactory enough.

And the meaning of globalization lies in integration, if you have to withdraw from integration and only keep your own language, is that not turning back the clock of history and closing the country?

Every language represents a valuable idea, and every thought has its own value.

Diverse languages are the precious wealth left to mankind in the process of civilization development and evolution, and you want to give up the wealth you have to promote extreme nationalism?

That, of course, is not advisable.

There are both Chinese and English academic works in the world.

Do you only look at the center, not the English?

Then what you see is always one-sided.

Do you still expect to be able to go out of college?

At this time, the bartenders have something to say again.

So why can't all valuable English papers be translated into Chinese?

Chen Feng will spread his hands together.

Even if he could rely on this foresight to select which papers were valuable, he would be able to organize enough manpower and material resources to translate them.

But one thing cannot be overlooked, the learner's own need for perfect comprehension.

When an article in one language is translated into another language, it not only changes the superficial meaning, but also the logical core will inevitably be lost in the process of translation.

The result of just looking at the translation is that what you absorb is bound to be partially one-sided.

It is the same whether it is translated from Chinese to English or English to Chinese.

Chen Feng wants to win the war in a thousand years, so he has to pursue the ultimate, and from now on, he must explore the perfect logical operation mode that conforms to the structure of the human brain - the combination of fast and slow, and there is no distinction between Chinese and Western.

He wants to make the square text and pinyin text in the brains of future generations parallel, and seamlessly switch anytime and anywhere.

Then, when the knowledge level of future generations continues to expand and reaches a certain level, they can choose their own focus on the next step.

If some descendants are ready to engage in purely technical work, Chinese is the mainstay.

Some of the descendants were ready to engage in the purest theoretical research, but their mode of thinking gradually shifted towards English.

This is a relative bias, and in practice, there will be different choices due to individual differences.

In the end, there will inevitably be a small number of people who come from different paths and end up in the same place, and naturally become proficient in both languages, and can dabble in all the core knowledge broadly and deeply, and become university scholars who lead the times.

As for how Chen Feng realized this seemingly fantastical idea?

Actually, it's not difficult at all.

He had even planned the preparations for a long time, and had already done them.

None other than the Crisis of the Compound Eyes game.

Through the technology of virtual reality, the second world is covered on the basis of the real world.

In the last timeline, "The Crisis of the Compound Eye", which has been sharpened for eighteen years, is released in 2038.

The world has changed forever.

People have been playing the "game" of the real era in all directions 100 years in advance.

People can do anything in this game, not only to enjoy the satisfaction and pleasure of virtual reality entertainment, but also to complete the foundation of the basics here.

People all over the world are connected by this software that seems to be a game but not a game, and many cultural barriers that exist because they don't know each other are invisibly bridged.

And what's even more terrifying is that Chen Feng doesn't look like a capitalist at all.

His original intention of making games was not to make money at all, so he had a lot of manipulations.

In order to prevent the impact on the development of the productive forces of the first world, he stuck the average online time per capita.

I heard you want to increase your online time?

That's okay, you go to learn things, you go to exams, and passing exams increases the length of the game.

If you can get a PhD in the game, you can play eight hours a day.

Of course, the doctor also has the suffering of the doctor, and the doctor's game task directly becomes what you need to achieve in reality.

It's such a pit, so domineering.

The final interpretation right belongs to the company.

If you want to change someone to do this game, you will die a long time ago.

But Chen Feng has a technical advantage in his hands that others can't match.

And governments around the world have eaten the talent dividend of the strange operation model of "Crisis of the Compound Eye", not only stabbing Chen Feng's knife, but "acting for the tiger" and becoming the wings of Xingfeng Games.

When the holographic helmet jointly developed by Xingfeng Research Institute and Xingfeng Games came out and was fully released at a low price, the holographic era of mankind officially came, and the influence of "Compound Eye Crisis" rose again, and finally became popular for two hundred years, becoming an important boost for the integration of civilizations.

Using the second world to cover the first world, so that cultures can be integrated in the second world first, can effectively eliminate contradictions.

In the last timeline, Chen Feng embedded a unified translation function in order to facilitate people of different languages to communicate in the game.

This time he came up with a new main idea.

Weakening the scope of the translation function and deliberately misaligning the language of users of different languages when they interact in a certain way in the game.

For example, Chinese users want to use a certain function, but when they open it, it is an all-English interface, and they don't let go of the translation directly, and can only use the dictionary that comes with the game to look up the words one by one.

The rewards of this feature are also particularly generous, and once you miss it, you will regret it for life.

Even more bereavement, there is no text, just pure phonetics, forcing you to practice listening and reading.

Of course, he won't be so sick in the promotion stage of the game, but when he stabilizes his position, Chen Feng is ready to start all kinds of fancy tricks, anyway, others can't do anything about him.

He doesn't want to do it overnight.

Assuming that after he increases his investment this time, "Crisis of the Compound Eyes" can start public beta in 2035, then he will spend the next fifty years sweeping through two generations, and he will always see results.

After making up his mind, Chen Feng called Meng Xiaozhou over with his backhand,

"How's the preparation of the light studio and the game company?"

Meng Xiaozhou: "Everything is going well, the light and shadow studio will be established in two months at the latest." The Blade game will take about another five months. ”

Chen Feng waved his hand, "Increase the intensity of gold absorption!" Prepare the film production team of "Across the Stars" as soon as possible, go to the bank to negotiate a loan, I want to increase my investment in Xingfeng Games, and within three months, I must set up a stall. I've got a list here, and you can follow the map. ”

Chen Feng gave Meng Xiaozhou a long list.

All of them are well-known figures who have made important contributions to the development of the game "Crisis of the Compound Eyes" in the previous timeline, such as Chen Liangqi, He Anqi, Xiang Ri and others.

These people had a love-hate relationship with Master Chen in their previous lives, and they were tortured to death by his eighteen-year ultra-long development cycle of three years and three years.

The project has been in closed beta, tested and tested.

These dream young people boiled and waited, waited and waited, and when they couldn't wait, they came and went, and came and went.

Jianghu is commonly known as the Whampoa Military Academy, and has entered the palace many times.

What's even more tragic is that their names were firmly remembered by Chen Feng when he looked at historical materials.

Meng Xiaozhou was about to leave, but Chen Feng stopped him again, and focused on a few names, "These people have longer contracts, and the salary and performance bonuses are higher." ”

Meng Xiaozhou was puzzled, "Looking at their resumes, aren't they very eye-catching?" ”

Chen Feng smiled and said nothing, "Trust my judgment." ”

Meng Xiaozhou understood in seconds, it seems that these people are some future bulls in the game field, and this is going to be harvested by Chen Feng in advance.

"Okay, then I'll sign directly with them for eighteen years?"

Chen Feng shook his head, "The number eighteen is unlucky, just twenty years." Oh yes, and by the way, find the best psychotherapy agency and sign a long-term contract. ”

Meng Xiaozhou vaguely heard the murderous aura from Chen Feng's mouth, and walked away quickly with sympathy for these people.

Master Chen smiled and said, How can I live up to your wait.

This time, we still have to work hard, and the task has become heavier.

He looked down at his chest.

I'm great.

The red scarf on the chest became more vibrant.
