"Chinese and English?"

Chen Shi didn't understand, "How can it be Chinese?" I didn't understand what it was saying. ”

Ike smiled: "Mr. Chen, the Chinese language has a long history and a long history, and the oracle bone Chinese characters are the three oldest writing systems in the world, but the sacred script of ancient Egypt and the cuneiform script of the Sumerians in the two river valleys have been lost, and only Chinese characters are still used today." Chinese is a relatively convergent and stable language, but this does not mean that Chinese has not changed, not to mention that there are many Chinese dialects, and you may not understand the dialects of small places, right? ”

This language expert is really a Chinese expert, Chen Shi couldn't help nodding yes.

"Mandarin in modern Chinese has 21 initials, 39 finals and 4 tones, among which, the initials of Mandarin can be divided into 7 categories, double lipstick (b, p, m) is formed by the upper lip and the lower lip blocking the airflow; Lamiodental sounds (f) are formed by the proximity of the upper and lower teeth to obstruct airflow; The apical front of the tongue (z, c, s) is formed by the tip of the tongue against or close to the dorsum of the tooth to obstruct the airflow......"

Ike's words made Chen Shi listen more and more seriously, and he found that he really couldn't understand what the other party said.

Finally, Ike saw Chen Shi's expression, stopped his explanation, and after thinking about it, he said: "There are 36 initials in ancient Chinese, and 21 initials in modern Chinese, all of which are consonants, namely b, p, m, f, d, t, n, l, g, k, h, j, q, x, zh, ch, sh, z, c, s; After our research, the language of that intelligent life has definite voiced and clean sounds, some of which have obvious voiced initials, the pronunciation of the initials requires vibrating vocal cords, some words are similar to Chinese, and some syllables are English pronunciation rules......"

"Wait, I'm a little weird."

Chen Shi stretched out his hand to interrupt Ike's words and asked in confusion, "This doesn't make sense, does it?" Why does an intelligent life on an extraterrestrial planet speak a language with pronunciation rules in Chinese and English? ”

"Mr. Chen, that's what we want to know."

Ike's doubts were probably not much less than Chen Shi's, and the Chinese expert on the other side spoke: "We hope that in the next contact, you can guide the other party to speak, the more words you have, the more you can help us understand the other party's language, and the key to solving this doubt lies in you." ”

"My ......"

Chen Shi also understood this, and smiled bitterly: "Okay, I know, I'm mainly responsible for letting it speak." ”

But thinking about it carefully, Chen Shi still felt incredible, and even full of confusion in his heart, he now became more and more unaware of the purpose of the civilization represented by the unknown cube, and used a way that violated the rules of physics known to mankind to teleport him to a planet many light years away, and then came into contact with the local civilization......

The most amazing thing is that the intelligent life that came into contact with it actually spoke a language with Chinese pronunciation rules, and judging from the words of Ike, an expert in linguistics, it is very suspicious.

Immediately afterwards, several experts and scholars began to popularize some content on Chen Shi's science, and when they sorted out and deciphered each other's language, Chen Shi's next step was probably to learn the language of that intelligent life.

Confusion is confusion, everyone even feels uneasy, but it must be made clear that if it is a brand new language that has not been touched and is not of any language family on the earth, it will take dozens or even a hundred times more effort to decipher this language.

23:30 minutes.

Chen's break arrives.

His bed was redesigned, although it was uncomfortable to lie on such a bed, but in order to prevent injury to himself, Chen Shi had to fix his body, and the shoulder position of his right arm was even more fixed.

When humans fall into a deep sleep, it is understandable and common to have difficulty controlling their behavior, turning over and even strange sleep behaviors. Except for Chen Shi's right arm, which is in a "macroscopic state that cannot be stabilized", the rest of his body parts will be injured, and the experiment with a scalpel has proved this.

If one rolls over and puts his right arm on his belly, his right arm disappears in an instant, loses his support and sinks to his shoulder, and when it reappears, it is diagonally inserted into his ribs.

Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to fix his own sleeping position.

And looking at Xiao Yang's worried eyes, Chen Shi was also in a heavy mood.

On Earth, he doesn't need to worry, because 24 hours a day, there are two people watching his every move by the bedside, and the bed is specially designed, so there is no need to be afraid.

What he feared was that after teleporting to another planet, without the help of humans, he could only rely on himself...... To be honest, what can you do to prevent yourself from hurting yourself?

Xiao Yang only said that the global experts he had convened were discussing and discussing this issue, and he was trying to come up with a temporary plan after he sobered up the next day.

On December 20, at seven o'clock in the morning, after washing up and having breakfast, Chen Shi and others came up with a temporary plan.

"Segmented sleep?"

When Chen Shi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Yes." Xiao Yang looked down at the information and raised his head: "Three times before and after, your stay in that world has become longer and longer, and it is not ruled out that it will continue to get longer in the middle, and it is impossible for you to stay awake over there...... And a long period of sleep will lead to an increase in the uncertainty factor, which is not only the abnormality of your arm, but also the threat currently assessed by the unknown world. ”

Therefore, experts recommend shortening the amount of sleep at one time and using sleep as a segmented arrangement...... Eventually, you get 20 to 30 minutes of sleep 6 times a day, i.e. take a nap every 4 hours, so you only need 2 to 3 hours of sleep a day. ”

"Only 2 to 3 hours a day?"

Chen Shi changed color: "You're not kidding me, are you?" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm not kidding."

Xiao Yang put down the folder and sighed: "This kind of extreme segmented sleep has not actually achieved international recognition and effective proof, and for ordinary people, the harm outweighs the benefits, and it is not recommended to study; But you don't have a choice, which will effectively increase your chances of survival. ”

"In addition, the next thing you need to learn is a method of autosuggestion, hypnotize yourself, and prevent yourself from moving around in sleep......"

Autosuggestion is a very effective method, for example, people who like to sleep lazy on weekdays, know that there is something important tomorrow, so they hint to themselves in their hearts, and the next day is really different from usual, waking up early.
