Chapter 147: History

Su immediately changed out of the original military uniform of the Xinghan Republic, and there was no other face from the people here, no one would recognize the difference, but Chen Shi was different, it should be said that wherever he went, there would be people who looked at him curiously.

It's not that I'm surprised by the way he wears his gamma suit, there are too many residents in the entire cosmopolitan city, and no one will be surprised by his dress at all, their surprised gaze is mainly on Chen Shi's right arm.

The right arm flashes from time to time, making it incomprehensible for them, and it is understandable that they cast more surprised glances.

Fortunately, people here seem to take personal privacy very seriously, and there will be no rude people looking at and asking questions, let alone more impolite onlookers.

All the way into this strange library, sitting in the librarian's seat is an elderly old man, who originally had long big ears, but also because of aging, and is actually very similar to the old man of humans.

"What books do you need?"

Seeing someone come in rarely, the Administrator glanced at him and Su Ji slowly, and then focused his attention on Chen Shi's right arm.

"History, books on history."

Chen Shi coughed.

The administrator didn't ask much, it lowered its head and manipulated the complex machine in front of it, and with the movement of the conveyor belt, after a while, the books classified as history were delivered to Chen Shi.

If on earth, how many books are classified as history? So it is estimated that no one can say clearly, in any Xinhua library, there are not thousands of books on history, but there must be one or two hundred.

But here, there are actually less than 30 so-called history books, and it stands to reason that as a city with a population of more than one million, the library is only so small, how can books be like this?

Chen Shi couldn't help asking, "Only that?" ”

"That's all there is to it."

The administrator is very slow, and he doesn't reply to Chen Shi's words very quickly, but fortunately, Chen Shi is very patient and can endure to listen to it, "Not many people come in to read books, you are the first batch of people this month." ”

“……”

Chen Shiri is a ghost, do people in this cosmopolitan city like not to read so much? It seems that this friend has nothing to do, he doesn't like intelligent creatures who don't like to study or read.

The old librarian couldn't care about anything, and quickly packed up his mood and carefully selected the books he needed, which were very similar to human books, but the materials of the books here were not soft paper, but very thin, but very hard cardboard, which obviously could not be compared with paper, and the thickness might be the same, and the content contained was only less than one-third of the books on the earth.

And he took out a book, unfolded it, and found the difference in binding, the book here is actually a continuous binding, so after the book is opened, it is not a page by page, but can expand all the contents of the book at one time, and it feels exactly the same as a fold.

It's very spiritual.

He picked out what seemed to be a thick book, took it to the desk next to it, stepped on the mechanism on the ground, and a mechanical chair popped out.

"You can watch here first, I'll look for you in three hours."

Su Ke didn't have the patience to read and wait here, so he told Chen Shi directly and came to him.

Chen Shi was not disgusted by this, and waved his hand to signal you to get out of here.

Unfolding the first history book, Chen Shi stared at the handwriting on the page, frowning a little. Speaking of which, although the use of experimental brain-computer interfaces and subliminal learning methods has allowed him to learn a second language with amazing progress, with the passage of time and the increase of dialogue, he has become quite fluent in language conversation, not to speak the same as his native language, as if he has studied English abroad for seven or eight years.

But it was just spoken language, and at the level of words, the first time he looked at these words, it was very unfamiliar, very similar to the phenomenon of semantic saturation, that is, after repeatedly staring at a word or a word for a long time, he would suddenly not recognize the word and the word.

Psychologically, it is believed that this is because the human brain nerves receive too many repetitive stimuli in a short period of time, which will cause inhibition of neural activity, resulting in the illusion that they suddenly do not recognize commonly used words.

Now, when Chen Shi looks at these words, he has the illusion of semantic saturation.

He closed his eyes, eased his mood, and then slowly read the book, in general, he could not read fluently, he could only bump into it, just like when he used to read books, he looked at English reading comprehension.

I believe that this kind of pain has probably been experienced by every post-80s, post-90s, post-00s......

Reading this historical work with the attitude and ability to read English reading comprehension, it is still a headache to think about it, and if you don't understand it, you can only skip it temporarily.

The civilization of Xingdian claims to be a "new race", inheriting the inheritance from the ancient civilization, and is a newly born intelligent race on the mainland, so it calls itself a new intelligent civilization.

The earliest history is 750 years ago, when the "New Race", led by the first hero, excavated the inheritance from ancient civilizations, acquired new knowledge, and were able to achieve a balance of survival with the increasingly threatening "alien spirits".

Since then, although there have been many ups and downs in the history of the "new race", and even the crisis of destroying civilization, they have survived one by one, as if every time a crisis comes, there is a historical hero who leads the civilization to carry it through.

With the passage of time, the "new clan" began to build 17 defensive cities 315 years ago, and all of them were completed by 209 years ago, which took more than 100 years, and then experienced several crises, resulting in the original union of 17 defensive cities parting ways, no longer bearing the name of unity, and no longer as a military alliance as before, but separate affairs.

If it weren't for the fact that a city was almost unable to resist the attack of the "alien spirits" later, resulting in almost being breached by the defense, I am afraid that this kind of separation will only continue for a long time.

Since then, the 17 defense cities have reached an agreement at least on military assistance and will not interfere in each other's politics, but once a "strange spirit" threatens the city's defense circle, the rest of the cities have the responsibility to provide full assistance.

That being said, there will always be cities that have their own small calculations, such as sending lower troops than the rest of the cities to preserve their strength, and the rest of the cities will start to follow suit, which makes the military aid agreement waver on the dangerous crater and can be torn up at any time.

"Something seems wrong."

Chen Shijian frowned, he browsed through this period of historical history, and always felt that there was something incongruous.

So he looked back at it again, and after a few inspections, he finally knew where his strange appearance came from.

From the record of 750 years ago to more than 200 years ago, there are definitely not a few crises in the "new race", but why is it that every time the crisis of almost extinction comes, there is a similar powerful and heroic figure who stands up and becomes the pride of the times to lead civilization through the crisis?
