Mom returned to the city to teach, Sister Xie went to work at the county government, Aunt Xuan returned to Beijing, and Sister Yu also attended the parent-teacher meeting at Xiao Qianqian's school. Dong Xuebin was the only one left at home. It was boring.
After calling for a long time, I couldn't find anyone who was idle, so Dong Xuebin had no choice but to cross his legs and watch TV with his family. He felt free after not working, but it was quite annoying to have nothing to do.
However, Dong Xuebin was about to be promoted, and his mood was still very high.
I just don’t know where I’m going, and there’s no letter from Sister Xie yet.
By the way, idle time is idle anyway. It’s time to study your own special abilities. Maybe you can make some new discoveries.
Try it again!
Just do it, Dong Xuebin picked up the English-Chinese dictionary and leaned on the sofa.
In the past, Dong Xuebin had preconceptions and only knew that he could use back to rewind time. However, through an accidental discovery, Dong Xuebin found two commands: menu and stop. The former is to query the remaining time, and the latter is to stop all time in the world.
, so Dong Xuebin has been thinking, since there can be three instructions, why not four, five or even six? I have one minute more than everyone in the world every day, maybe there are other uses,
It doesn't have to be just back and forth.
This is Dong Xuebin's biggest capital, and of course he wants to study it thoroughly.
After discovering the stop last time, Dong Xuebin was so pleasantly surprised that he didn't bother to continue reading English. He didn't have enough time and it was too boring. But this time he lost his job and could finally take a good rest. Dong Xuebin also
I want to use this time to accumulate more capital and trump cards to prepare for my future career. You must know that Dong Xuebin’s eyes are not just at the department level and department level. He also has a higher goal. In order to achieve this goal
, of course the more Dong Xuebin’s capital, the better.
Let's get started.
I have to read it carefully this time.
With plenty of time, Dong Xuebin did not choose words to pronounce selectively like last time, but planned to read the entire dictionary from beginning to end, trying not to miss every word.
I’ve almost finished reading what I’ve read before, so I’m going to read it backwards this time!
Let’s start with words starting with z!
zyrian…zymurgy…zymosis…
One hour...
Three hours...
Five hours...
Dong Xuebin took the trouble to read each vocabulary word.
In fact, Chinese can also be used. Dong Xuebin has always been aware of this. For example, when he discovered back at the beginning, Dong Xuebin was able to go back in time by silently reciting the word "return". This has been tested by him many times. Strictly speaking,
The command is just something that mobilizes Dong Xuebin's brain. Even if he doesn't say the words "back" or "return", if he thinks about going back time, the command can be completed smoothly. So it doesn't matter whether it is in English or Chinese. What is important is that Dong
Xue Bin’s thoughts.
He thought that time was moving backwards, so time moved backwards.
However, Chinese has its drawbacks.
Because Dong Xuebin is too familiar with Chinese. He has spoken it for more than 20 years and it has already been ingrained in him. If he subconsciously thinks that the word "return" is an instruction to go back in time, when he speaks casually, if the word "return" comes out in the language,
"" two words, time may automatically go back, because Dong Xuebin's subconscious will have such a conditioned reflex, which will be chaotic and inconvenient. Now Dong Xuebin speaks English when giving instructions, which gives him a
The subconscious impression is that only when speaking English is it a command, it will not easily cause an error.
So when looking for words for new commands, Dong Xuebin also started from English. He was afraid that it would have an impact on future commands, so he simply memorized them all in English. What's more, Chinese is much more complicated than English. The same word may be able to be used in Chinese.
It has been extended to two or three meanings, each of which is completely different.
Ten hours...
Twelve hours...
One day has passed.
Two days have passed.
Dong Xuebin didn't even go out for the past two days, and he was so excited with this English-Chinese dictionary that he would hold it and chew it as soon as he opened his eyes in the morning, and put down the dictionary as soon as he closed his eyes at night.
…
Finally on the third day, Dong Xuebin made a new discovery.
In the morning, he leaned on the sofa and read words as usual. When he read a reverse word, he frowned. Dong Xuebin suddenly felt something was wrong. This feeling was a bit strange, as if he only felt it when he gave the back and stop commands.
There was such a slight sense of weirdness that he couldn't quite explain it in words. If he really had to describe it in one sentence, he felt like something was "moving" in his mind.
What's going on?
Is there an order coming down?
Dong Xuebin was stunned and looked around excitedly, but he didn't notice any obvious changes. It was no different from before.
menu!
Dong Xuebin brought up the menu and took a look, then frowned deeply. The remaining time was actually reduced!
Dong Xuebin has not wasted a back and stop these days. The remaining time at the airport should also be consumed to zero, which means that the remaining time accumulated again should be a multiple of sixty seconds, which is an integer, but now the remaining time is only
Five minutes and thirty-eight seconds, what even surprised Dong Xuebin was that the remaining time was still decreasing little by little, five minutes and thirty-seven seconds, five minutes and thirty-six seconds...
this?
Dong Xuebin took a breath and quickly said "reverse" tentatively.
The remaining time stopped decreasing and stopped at five minutes and thirty-five seconds!
What a command!?
Found it??
Dong Xuebin was very excited and immediately looked at the Chinese meaning of this word - backward? inversion?
Isn't the meaning of reverse similar to that of back? What's the difference? Time goes backwards? I don't feel anything?
Dong Xuebin stood by the window with doubts, opened the curtains and looked downstairs. When he saw a child running out of the corridor, he immediately said reverse silently.
The order has been issued!
One second, two seconds, three seconds, the remaining time began to decrease.
But the child was still running around happily, and there was no change at all in the surrounding time!
Dong Xuebin was speechless for a while, quickly canceled reverse, and began to study it again and again, but he spent several hours and still couldn't figure out the reason.
This command is useless?
No, that’s definitely not the case!
Dong Xuebin knew that this command must have had an effect in some way, but it was not as obvious as back and stop, so he didn't notice it yet!
