Chapter 8 Materialism and Idealism

Chen An's life in another world gradually opened the curtain of blandness.

Every morning, after eating the breakfast provided by the Chamber of Commerce, it means that his day's work is about to begin.

Mr. Ackerman is a very organized person, he will carefully classify the daily work affairs, and then arrange them according to the ability of his subordinates, and finally review and correct them himself.

Chen An will conscientiously and timely complete every task assigned to him by the other party in his work, and occasionally give appropriate suggestions according to the content of the work, it is not important whether the result is adopted or not, the important thing is that he must show his own value. Of course, as a rookie who has just entered the workplace, he also understands that it is not a good thing to be sharp, so he often only shows at the right time, and other times he tries to maintain a low-key and harmless clumsy attitude.

In fact, the job is much easier than expected, and sometimes Mr. Ackerman will give them some time off after completing all the work in advance, so the reasonable behavior makes the employees very active and productive at work, because the sooner they finish their work, the sooner they can leave work, after all, everyone wants to have more leisure time.

In the beginning, Chen An would go to Alex whenever he had extra time to fulfill his promise to teach him financial knowledge, and it was not until he received his first month's salary that he began to slowly transfer some of his time to Bella'oka's library.

People's adaptability is amazing, Chen An in the warehouse dormitory of the Chamber of Commerce from discomfort to habit only took half a month, and the relationship with the workers' roommates gradually eased, at least in normal times, there are few conflicts between each other, but three months later, Chen An, who has accumulated enough funds, moved to a new place.

The place he now rents is not far from the Chamber of Commerce's premises, and the rent is cheap, which Alex found for him in gratitude for teaching him about finances.

Although the newly rented house is small, basically a bed takes up half of the room, but the house is clean and meets the needs of individuals for privacy.

His step-by-step work performance in the Chamber of Commerce finally caught Mr. Ackerman's attention, and after he intentionally or unintentionally tried to find out that Chen An always has unique insights in finance, for this reason, he began to arrange some important work to the other party, and after seeing that Chen An can do well every time, he will directly improve Chen An's status and salary.

In this era of lack of talents, people like Chen An who have excellent talents in a certain field have always been worthy of cultivation and attention, and after receiving the appreciation of Ackerman, although Chen An's life is still poor, his future will inevitably be bright.

......

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and before he knew it, Chen An had taken root in Beiraoka, and his daily life was dull and fulfilling, as if he had returned to a similar state of life on the earth in the past. Through his persistent reading and browsing in the library, this strange world gradually lifted the veil of blur and became clear.

In Chen An's cognitive worldview, the world originated from the Big Bang, and human beings are just a small speck of dust in the vast universe, but in the world of Osgard, the world was created by gods, and three different forms and levels of the world were distinguished from top to bottom, and Chen An has always been deeply skeptical about this.

In particular, it is widely believed that "the sky is round and the place is round" Moreover, if you carefully observe the cosmic environment of this world, in addition to the sun that is similar to the size of the earth, you will find that there are often four or five moons at night, and these moons are large and small, but the largest is only slightly larger than the moon on the earth, and the smallest is only one-tenth of the current largest moon, and these moons rarely appear in the starry night sky at the same time, according to Chen An's guess, it may be related to the orbit of these moons, there is no doubt that these moons are natural celestial bodies around the world, rather than the heavenly palace created by the gods in local mythology.

The number of moons will directly affect the ecological environment of the world, among which the phenomenon of ocean tides is the most intuitive example, because of the effect of the moon's gravitational traction, each more moon means that the ocean tides will become more complex and destructive, even if multiple moons may cancel out or enhance each other's impact on the tides, but still cannot change the tide of human exploration of the ocean, which is indirectly confirmed by Chen An's speculation from the books on the ocean.

The exploration of navigation in this world is like a desert, due to the influence of the tides, the coastal areas are basically uninhabited, most people live in the inland areas, and the so-called shipbuilding industry only produces ships suitable for river navigation, so there is no soil for development through the sea.

In the process of reading the book, Chen An found a very interesting thing, according to Marx's theory, the development of history is spiraling, and there is naturally many glorious eras in this world, but often these glorious civilizations will encounter all kinds of natural and man-made disasters when they develop to a certain extent, which directly leads to the fault line of civilization and regression to the feudal and backward medieval era.

If it happens once or twice, it's fine, but what if it happens more than ten times?

From the perspective of conspiracy theories, it may be that there are "people" who do not want to see the development of the world's civilization, because the development of civilization means continuous progress in thought, and when civilization develops to a certain extent, there will always be people who will come into contact with the true face of the world.

However, even if he is aware of this, Chen An alone is powerless to change the current situation, and his research is more out of a curious mentality to satisfy his personal desire for exploration, and at the same time, he has the same investigation and understanding of the current social situation to further integrate into the current unfamiliar world.

Compared with the protagonist of fantasy novels who fly through different worlds at every turn, have a group of wives and concubines, and are rich and rival the country, Chen An, who yearns for an ordinary life, does not feel that he has anything to be ashamed of, reality is not a novel, and the wonderful plots in the novels that are often detached from logical common sense are nothing more than to meet the psychological needs of different readers, but in reality, following the plot of the novel will only bring humiliation on itself, be down-to-earth, and recognize yourself is the most reliable way to survive.

Whether or not he can adapt to an unfamiliar environment mainly depends on people's mentality, although Chen An has been forced to adapt to life in this world, but in the dead of night, he always can't control himself from thinking about everything on the earth.

His home is on Earth, and he is now just a stranger in a foreign land, and no amount of adaptation to this place can change this fact.

Now his greatest wish is to return to his hometown in his lifetime.
