Chapter 61: It's boring

"I understand."

What can Chen Shi say? Xiao Yang's words are indeed fine, they are all for his good, but there is no shortcut to improve physical fitness, only through exercise, or you must persevere, without months or months of effort, it is difficult to see results.

But who knows if he will live for a month, or even a few months from now?

The mood is heavy, and I still have to continue to do what needs to be done.

18:30 minutes.

Chen Shi arrived at the cafeteria to eat, and after eating, he had a rare and valuable half-hour rest.

He sat on a chair with his right arm hanging down, and he only used his left arm to control the computer mouse, but after only a minute, Chen Shi had no choice but to give up using the computer.

Su Kele and Bai Wanping next to him had been standing beside him, wearing headphones, they heard the command from inside the headphones, and soon, Su Kele took a tablet and came over: "Mr. Chen, you can play this." ”

"Ugh."

Chen Shi took it with his left hand, the tablet was not locked, he clicked and slid it open, and found that the APP inside was basically the APP he liked to use every day, well, he didn't have much hope for his privacy, staring at the screen blankly, his emotions were very complicated.

In the past, he felt that there were always countless happy things waiting for him, holding his mobile phone, he would not be bored, and with a Douyin APP, he could play all day.

And now...... Looking at the Douyin APP on the screen, he was bored and couldn't lift too much energy.

Chen Shi clicked on Douyin casually, entered the screen, and even his previous account was logged in, and he could choose his previous favorite videos at will, but many popular accounts have not been updated for several days, and on the recommendation on the homepage, most of them are shooting high-altitude cubes in major cities.

He browsed it a few times and found that what seemed to be trending on Douyin was the funny action of taking selfies with cubes in the sky under his city.

These cities evacuated a large number of residents, walking on the streets that were congested in the past but empty today, some funny anchors even openly posted some provocative videos, so they were soon found criminally detained by the patrolling police......

In the comments on some videos, Chen Shi seemed to see comments that insulted him, and just when he wanted to refresh and take a closer look, those abusive comments had disappeared without a trace.

After five or six minutes of video, Chen Shi quit Douyin boringly.

My life is no longer peaceful......

He suddenly realized that he had fallen into the great changes of 1214, and he was like a chasm from his past daily life, and it was impossible to go back to the past, so he was naturally no longer interested in these things.

"Mr. Chen? Mr. Chen? Mr. Chen, are you alright? ”

The crisp and sweet female voice woke Chen Shi up from his motionless contemplation, he raised his head, saw Su Kele and Bai Wanping looking at him worriedly, and said calmly: "I'm fine." ”

Sadly, the circle he wasn't interested in seemed to have expanded a lot, and he was no longer interested in the games and entertainment methods he used to have, and he didn't even have the meaning of looking at the two beauties who were close at hand.

Life is hard enough, let him catch his breath.

He put down his tablet and twisted his neck, "I've rested enough, can I start the evening class?" ”

……

19:25 minutes.

The study room specially prepared for Chen Shi has a round table that is enough to seat 12 people, and Chen Shi, who is directly below, has a computer screen in front of him that can be pressed down 170 degrees, and 6 experts sit on both sides, all of whom are staring at Chen Shi with a bright gaze.

"Mr. Chen, let me introduce myself, I'm Stephen Icke, and I'm mainly engaged in experimental psychology, cognitive science, mental computing theory, and of course, I also study linguistics......"

With blue eyes and a typical Western face, he was the only foreigner among the six experts.

Chen Shi was quite surprised, it had been 5 days since the 1214 incident today, and it was the first time he had seen a foreigner who had passed the examination at the Wudaogou nuclear bunker base.

And this foreigner's Chinese is really so good that it explodes, at least Chen Shi himself can't speak such authentic and fluent Mandarin.

"Ahem, Xiao Chen, Mr. Ike is currently the top scholar in the world in linguistics, he is proficient in the languages of 12 countries, especially Chinese." In addition to the scholars and experts at the scene, Bai Guocheng also sat next to him.

"No, no, my mastery of Chinese still needs to be learned, and Gao Luopei is an example for me to learn and surpass."

Ike waved his hand, he was already old and his hair was gray, and he looked at Chen Shi with a smile, "Mr. Chen, how much do you know about language?" ”

"Language?"

Chen Shijian frowned, thought for a while, and then said: "Language is the main way for human beings to communicate, without language, it is difficult to transmit and inherit human civilization, and language is also an important feature of human beings to distinguish other species. ”

"Yes, Mr. Chen said it very clearly."

Ike nodded in agreement, "Language is the medium through which human thoughts communicate, and it is also an extremely unique and precious tool for human beings, which can be said to be a treasure of our human origin, development, and evolution. Although all animals have their own ways of conveying their messages, those methods are very different from human language, which is the greatest characteristic of intelligent life. There are now more than 6,000 different languages in the world, and many of them are very similar, such as Chinese, Burmese, and Tibetan, because they all come from an ancient language that no longer exists, called Proto-Sino-Tibetan. ”

Chen Shi was surprised to hear this, he had no idea that Chinese and Tibetan actually came from the same ancient language.

"Don't be surprised, Mr. Chen, if I tell you that Chinese and English are actually related, would you believe it? Both also come from a very old language called Proto-Sino-Caucasian-Amerind-Nostratic, which is one of only six languages on the entire planet. ”

Chen Shi wondered when he heard this: "Mr. Ike, what you said so much has anything to do with what I studied tonight?" ”

"Mr. Chen don't worry, what I said is to mean that our current languages are all from the six oldest language families on earth, and they may have a common ancestor, but in a certain disagreement has produced different dendrogram development, and with the progress of the times and technology, languages will also communicate and integrate with each other, and some examples of Chinese and modern English, you should also know."

Chen Shi was still confused.

Ike paused before he slowly spoke: "Your previous conversation with that intelligent being, after our analysis, its language adopts most of the Chinese and English variants......
