Dong Chen's Terran language and characters were still learning very quickly, but the Great Elder was no longer surprised, but was accustomed to Dong Chen's amazing learning efficiency.

"Great Elder, that is, it is the year 2981 of the scientific calendar, and in a specific way, April 19?"

After reading a book about the history of the Terran Continent in the East, the Book of Heaven updated the real-time date display of the other side star according to the latest data obtained.

However, this is only calculated by his own side, and the specific time still has to ask the locals, and the most "cultured" person in the Boulder tribe is the Great Elder.

"It's really 2981 this year, but if it's time, I'll do the math."

At first, the Great Elder was teasing Xiao Hei, and he was also a little in a trance when he heard Dong Chen ask this, after all, he was a 95-year-old old barbarian.

After muttering a few words in his mouth, the Great Elder said, "That's right, today is indeed April 19th, because there is still about a month left, and that fellow Mehya's caravan is coming. ”

"Why did you suddenly remember to ask the date? Do you also use a technology calendar there? Perhaps your ancestors lived on the Eastern Continent long ago as well. ”

"Hehe, maybe that's the case......," Dong Chen touched his nose and said, "We have always had a legend there, saying that there are other lands in this world, which are the original land, so I came out to look for it." ”

"That's right," the Great Elder let go of Xiao Hei, then took out a well-preserved paper book from the bookshelf and opened it, pointing it out to Dong Chen, "According to historical records, all the intelligent beings in this world lived on the Eastern Continent in the beginning. ”

"Later, because of the invasion of the barbarians, many peaceful races who were unwilling to go to war went out to sea by boat to find a new place to live, and your ancestors may have been a Terran team at that time."

"Probably, I don't know, my historical grades have always been bad, hehe." Dong Chen scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

In addition to Dong Chen's study, the Great Elder would also tell Dong Chen some adventure stories from his youth, which often carried some descriptions of the social environment of the human race, which allowed Dong Chen to also understand some actual recent situations, which was much more life-like than the description in the book.

It's just that the Great Elder hasn't been out of the forest for decades, and his actual adventures are all decades ago, according to Dong Chen's estimate, the social development of this world is very fast, and a few decades is enough time for great changes.

Just like steam power, which has appeared in recent years, the Great Elder does not know about these things, that is, in the letters or books given to him by some old friends, there will be descriptions of these new things.

Although the Great Elder does not go out, he is very interested in these emerging things, and he has also said that this thing may be able to change the balance of war between the human race and the western barbarians, and let the human race have an advantage for the first time.

I have to say that the Great Elder's vision is still quite accurate, he has never seen the power of this thing, but Dong Chen has seen or witnessed the power of this thing, the emergence of steam power, it is definitely of epoch-making significance.

The impact on the other side of the planet is definitely not only military, but also has a huge impact on the entire social pattern of the other side.

However, Dong Chen found that the things about the steam engine recorded in the books here by the Great Elder were all recorded in the book a few years ago, and the publication date of this book was also a few years ago in reality.

In other words, Dong Chen now understands the pattern of the development of steam power on the other side of the star, which is also several years ago.

"Alas, there is no way, the Boulder tribe is a barbarian tribe in the depths of the forest, "deep in the forest" plus "barbarian", with these two keywords, it is quite good to have a book that records the development of steam power in the world a few years ago. ”

The Great Elder looked at Dong Chen's somewhat lost appearance, smiled kindly and said, "Dong Chen, you don't have to be so disappointed, in another month, you will be able to go to the outside world to see for yourself." ”

"Old man, I'm just an ordinary barbarian tribe here, and the books I collect are just because of my hobby, not the library of Imperial Capital University, hehe."

"Hehe, Great Elder, I didn't mean that, in fact, you already have a lot of books here."

It's not that Dong Chen is complimenting the Great Elder, but this old man's collection of books is indeed quite a lot, and a bookshelf here in the main house is only one-tenth of this old man's collection.

At the beginning, Dong Chen also thought that the Great Elder only had such a few books, but that was only because the Great Elder was not familiar with him and did not reveal his "treasures".

After a few days of contact with Dong Chen, the Great Elder fully understood Dong Chen's personality, coupled with Dong Chen's terrifying learning speed, the Great Elder opened his library to Dong Chen after thinking about it.

It turned out that at the back of the big house, there were several attached small rooms, these rooms had different functions, one of them was specially used to store books, and the books on several shelves were neatly arranged, and the contents of the books were all-encompassing, and there were records of everything.

When he first saw this, Dong Chen was really shocked.

Because even in the modern society of the earth, where books are extremely cheap to obtain, not many people will get such a room at home.

And in this barbarian tribe, where the society is obviously not as social as the earth, and is still deep in a forest, can it not be surprising to see a room full of books.

It's like finding a computer in a primitive tribe deep in the primeval forest of the earth, and it has electricity, and it is even connected to the Internet to scroll through Weibo.

However, apart from the fact that the Great Elder would often read these books, there was really no one in the tribe who read these things, which made the Great Elder a little worried.

Dong Chen understands this feeling, it is obviously a treasure, but no one cares about it.

This was probably the reason why the Great Elder opened his library to Dong Chen, because Dong Chen was a person who appreciated and respected knowledge.

Time passed slowly like this, Dong Chen would come to the Great Elder every day to study, and he himself did not stipulate that he only studied one book a day, but learned some useful things by himself, and let some unimportant content be scanned by the Book of Heaven, and then classified and sorted out, enriching his other planetary database, and also preventing it from being used in the future.

Dong Chen also found language learning textbooks for the elves and dwarves here, and like some fantasy legends, the languages of these two races are really not easy to learn, but with the assistance of the Book of Heaven, Dong Chen still mastered these two languages.

After arriving in human society, even if you don't do anything, you can support yourself as a language translator.

He himself is very powerful, and there is a lot of money on the earth, but just like when he first came here to face different civilizations, he is also a poor ghost now.

And he has already made plans, this alien exploration must definitely go around the world, and he can't stay in one place all the time, so all kinds of languages must be learned, otherwise communication will definitely be very difficult.

It's best to get to the human world, find a school, and then blend into a real library, where there are definitely a lot of books that are needed.
