In the year 3047 of the main world, the 165th orbital space vehicle (space shuttle) on the sun returned to the Earth Space Station this year. After docking, Wei Keng's consciousness returned to the carbon-based body running as a backup on the space station.
Wei Keng, who returned to the earth from the sun and returned to the carbon-based state, looked outside the window at the super space elevator and said slowly: "What a big change."
The earth in the main world is still in a glorious stage of ascent. In addition to the field of plane tunneling, the earth's various scientific and technological fields can still host the active efforts of a large number of talents.
In the 31st century, humans have started comprehensive infrastructure construction in the solar system.
Within this hundred years, the Human Group has planned multiple industrial plans:
1: It is necessary to complete the digital infrastructure in the center of the moon. There will be no natural craters on the moon, and the surface will be completely covered with geometric man-made areas. Of course, the asteroid impact that caused the craters on the moon's surface will not exist today, and the solar system
The tens of millions of unmanned space observation stations in the inner circle will monitor all celestial bodies larger than 30 centimeters approaching the Earth. Even if they approach the Earth-Moon system, the laser systems in the orbits of the moon and the Earth will push away these small celestial bodies.
2: The immigrants on Io have now landed deeply on Jupiter. It is expected to complete communication in the metallic hydrogen layer of Jupiter within two centuries and establish a complete communication network.
3: In the next fifty years, the sun will test the third "Starry Sky Precision Positioning Beam". This laboratory is located in a large celestial body with a diameter of six hundred kilometers and is as large as a silk ball. The interior is the largest in mankind.

The dividends of human physics breakthroughs have begun to be used on a large scale in the solar system.
Looking at human history, the last wave of breakthroughs in human physics on earth was in the modern era, when science and technology began to explode. Human society also experienced super changes every twenty years. But the dividend period was too short.
, only lasted a hundred years, and technological development had stagnated by the middle of the 21st century.
This wave of breakthroughs in physics is a super change every hundred years.
Due to the drastic scale of change, human culture has experienced a cognitive generation gap every hundred years, just as there has been a cognitive generation gap every decade in the late 20th century.
Wei Keng studied science and technology very hard and kept up with every step, but in terms of thinking, Wei Keng also had cognitive differences with the younger generation.
For example, Wei Keng's thinking still retains the concepts of the past country and nation, and the habit of self-positioning has Eastern characteristics. However, in the contemporary era, the human federation has undergone a series of subtle changes since the 28th century, and the concept of nationality on the earth has begun to disappear.
Instead, the distinction begins with the planet as the framework.
Various "mountain-isms" in human society will never disappear, but old ones will be replaced by new ones.
The traditional concept of a single nation in the main world has disappeared quietly like the aristocratic families in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. It has been replaced by clan schools.
In the past few hundred years, humans have immigrated to Mars, and the residents of Venus have quietly integrated according to region. In the entire solar system, mixed-race people account for 50%. Regionalism breeds on various planets.
Each planet has an independent local economic system and is relatively closed. This closure is stronger than the past regional closures on the earth. The oceans and mountains on the earth can be connected through ships and railways, but the gravity between the planets requires a space station.
…Wei Keng reads history, and Wei Keng himself has experienced history…
Wei Keng: Looking at the history of the ancient industrial era, in order to break the geographical barriers between the North Atlantic and between the east and west of North America, the Western Group adopted the method of stripping away local economic independence and using international financial industry groups to crush them.
Local industrial groups, and then establish integration.
The rise of local industrial capital groups will inevitably lead to conflicts between regions. In the 20th century, whether it was Germany, Russia, or the Japanese Empire, after the rise of local industrial groups, they began to pursue interests, causing friction between regions.
In the war that took place, the American group defeated Germany, stationed troops in Japan, and fought across Soviet Russia. At the end of the 20th century, it was equivalent to taking over all the industrial production areas in the world. International financial capital achieved a complete victory over local capital.
The victorious global capital began to split up the industrial capital groups in various regions, leaving the industries of each traditional industrial country incomplete. Germany lacked the electronic chip industry, and Japan lacked system design capabilities. Even at home, they were doing it themselves.
Split, Boeing's production lines in traditional industrial areas, which were originally concentrated in one place, were split into multiple regions.
Of course, behind all these splits is an increase in the weight of "financial allocation", making the value of "financial allocation" far greater than the value of actual manufacturing in the monetary system.
In this process, the Internet was the most important monopoly system. For a long time, in Europe, Japan, and other emerging regions of the world, American Internet giants were tax-free. Google, Facebook, and Amazon became the main commercial economies.
Information channels dominate economies around the world and in turn determine politics.
What happened a thousand years ago is happening today a thousand years later.
Wei Keng: Now the Human Federation relies on the World Wide Web and the outward expansion of the plane system to maintain the internal unity of the main world.
On Earth, Wei Keng raised his head and read the latest newspaper network: A veteran time traveler from the main world called for this: Humanity is united and we are brothers all over the world.
Wei Keng glanced at the giants of the Space-Time Management Bureau who were currently in the news, and he knew them all: Micah, his "Destiny Group", and Monat's "Knowledge Bookstore Group".
Mr. Wei yawned.
After Wei Guangzheng's propaganda system was heard by the old man Wei, he made a harsh comment: Oh, no more talking about nationality? Is it really a family relationship?
Wei Keng waved his hand leisurely, what's more, not only has the nation not disappeared, but it has become more homogeneous than a thousand years ago.
In the course of the main world from the 25th to the 30th century, there are harsh facts behind this mixed-race fusion: the so-called fusion of various ethnic groups is still the nation-state that entered the industrial age in modern times and has the advantage of the parent series.
Those hybrids on Earth, Venus, and Mars are all genes of developed countries in the 21st century.
Black people, who once accounted for one-third of the world's population a thousand years ago, are now all extinct.
Before the emergence of artificial birth chambers, young women were an important reproductive resource for a country. Exclusion of women through propaganda and tampering with values was a struggle for racial continuation.
"Integration"? This is a term
Only in the past, when those winners who had won a lot of money had an absolute advantage in the discourse system, in order to cover up "the unfairness caused by their past advantages in the present", the word "fusion" was used.
In the past thousand years, although large-scale wars have not been fought, various battles have been carried out quietly.
...Master Wei checked the descendants of his old Wei family, and they seemed to be pretty good. Wei Keng: "Me? I'm fine, I can proliferate"...
In 3047, Puhai and Wei Keng entered the Earth Federation Space-Time Coordination Committee.
This time, he actively summoned himself to conduct a directional exploration operation.
In the mission hall of the mantle, the supervisor's projection in the white corridor has been accompanying him to explain: There are very few Shangqing Shuttlers who have actively returned to Earth in the past hundred years, and there are very few who can be contacted.
In the hall, Wei Keng met the director-general of the Earth Federation in terms of space-time affairs, whose name was Milesu and whose nickname was Yun Xun.
This is the naming habit of the contemporary upper layer of the earth. And the current language mechanism is almost dual, New Latin (Spanish branch) and Chinese.
Wei Keng looked at his face, then looked at his name, and after checking the information, he suddenly understood: this was the effect of the "Chinese group".
…The historical development of language makes Wei Keng infinitely sad…
Today's New Latin is actually a branch of Latin like English. It has strong vitality in the spacecraft cabin system of the solar system.
In the past, English was just like Latin in modern times. Due to too many special nouns, it gradually fell out of civilian circulation, was limited to scientific papers and magazines, and was finally completely replaced.
This is the fate of the Latin language! Phonetic language. The amount of information it contains is limited. In order to prevent homophones from old words, it has to be combined to form new words.
Once the ideographic words are combined, it is difficult to repeat them. Four-character idioms have been passed down for thousands of years without being repeated.
For example, "Listen to me", the syllables have the same pronunciation, "You support me, I am embarrassed", "You are embarrassed, I am embarrassed", if this is pinyinized, the ambiguity will be fatal. Every era adds root words, more and more,
Then the "Latin script" that was originally easy and simple to popularize has become more and more bloated.
Chinese is stable and accurate enough, so in this thousand-year language war of attack and defense, we will fight steadily.
Wei Keng: “As long as the main user group of a language adapts to the times, the language will become mainstream. The dilemma of Chinese in the 20th century was that China had not yet industrialized, and there were a large number of scientific research vocabulary and industrial codes. Chinese failed to complete the new
Vocabulary, so papers need to use foreign words, and codes also need to use foreign words. But after the completion of comprehensive industrialization in the mid-twentieth century, the word reserve has fully kept up with the times."
A thousand years later, with its abundant information-carrying capacity, it has wiped out all other languages in most parts of the world.
In the ancient industrial era, the Vietnamese and so-called Korean languages in the wave of pinyinization, just like popular culture, disappeared in two hundred years. (Refer to the Manchu language that was completed with the Qing Dynasty.)
As for the Japanese language, it is originally a branch of the Chinese language family. The Japanese-speaking area, even during its period of strength, was unable to win culturally. In the end, it could only leave some words such as "sbarasi" and "sushi" to the Chinese language.
Of course, the Latin language family is not extinct. Because the basics of Chinese are more complex than those of the Latin language family. In areas where the vocabulary is not that high, Latin is still needed to complete communication quickly.
The "little vocabulary area" refers to spacecraft.
All spacecrafts are limited relative to the objects to be identified on the planet. Since the objects are limited, there is no new vocabulary. Just mark "pronunciation".
In the era of interstellar construction, a considerable amount of the population was on spaceships, so the population working on these spacecrafts spoke relatively clear spoken Latin.
Oh, human children also first confirm their knowledge of common sense things through Chinese Pinyin.
The language on the spacecraft is very simple. For example: all red fruits with leaves are called apples. The same is true for apples, the same is true for dragon fruit, and even the large low-gravity seedless lychee.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, www.yeguoyuedu.com to install the latest version.]
After learning thousands of commonly used words and mathematical vocabulary descriptions, you can read and write. Of course, after leaving the spacecraft, such a language will appear to be poor in vocabulary.
Therefore, in today's situation, with the integration of the entire human race, families that pursue a little cultural literacy, regardless of East or West, are basically bilingual. One set is New Latin for the spacecraft, and the other is Chinese.
Although Chinese is difficult to learn, for today's human beings who have exceeded the life span limit through continuous regeneration, once learned, it is basically once and for all, and communication is basically no problem even if the most popular vocabulary is not updated.
Only the core class of civilization has the advantage of recording in the knowledge inheritance system.
Even in the current Mediterranean civilization area, most of the knowledge system is recorded in Chinese as a backup classic. After a hundred or two hundred years, when the Latin script in a region is full of holes occupied by new vocabulary, the original Chinese backup will be translated, and then the original Chinese backup will be translated.
Use Latinized characters to popularize contemporary people.
...Wei Keng: As a person from the old industrial era, I feel weird when I see foreigners and myself being different...
So when Wei Keng said: "Yunxun, hello, Chief of Staff," he was about to start the translation software.
Yun Xun also spoke fluent Mandarin: "Mr. Wei Keng, your work on the sun has made you shine in life."
Wei Keng was a little surprised. After making sure that the vocabulary he used was better than his own, he responded: "Yunxun, let's get down to business. I came to Earth to take a vacation for seven or eight years."
Faced with this most simple bargain.
He prepared a lot of rhetoric, retreated instead of advancing, and said with a wry smile: "Oh, Your Excellency, you are now more than capable, but we really can't get away from the problem there (the target plane). If you don't go, things will be very difficult.
It’s irreversible.”
The cloud message sent out the festering conditions of the Mechanicum, the asexually reproducing orcs, and the ugly demons in the reflection space in the era of the "multiple planes" universe.
Wei Keng glanced at it and found that these were the result of plane decay, but he did not say the cause. When he defined the industrial godhead, it was at the end of the sword and magic era. There was still a long process between this era and the cosmic era.
This process is the key to the worsening of serious illness.
So, Wei Keng simply pointed it out directly.
Wei Keng: "You didn't tell me the actual situation in the plane you mentioned! Therefore, I can only plan to spend seven or eight years learning about the situation through my network, and then make a decision.
"
Yunxun stared at Wei Keng and made sure that he was an old man. He was not a stupid young man who randomly assigned people with words.
Wei Keng also stared at Yun Xun, half-smiling but not smiling, cursing in his heart: "When I was pioneering in the pastoral era, you were not even born yet, so you were drawing cakes for me? You really don't know, I studied Spring and Autumn Period.
