The Oxford professor first wanted to refute out of habit, saying that the Western world had no prejudice against the East.

But after thinking about it for a while and considering the identity of the person in front of him, he felt that there was no point in making excuses.

"I can't let go of this prejudice. But it seems a bit biased to simply summarize the differences between the East and the West based on language structure."

Chen Feng shook his head. "Of course, we can't just talk about language structure, but scholars from the East and the West have written a lot about the differences in civilization between the two thinking patterns, and they have explained them very thoroughly. My personal opinion is that all current situations cannot be isolated from historical conclusions." "

I don't deny that the East has lagged behind in the past few hundred years. But we can assume a scenario. If the East had not lagged behind, the East and the West would have maintained a high degree of information exchange during the first industrial revolution. What do you think the world would be like now?"

The Oxford professor thought for a long time and felt that he couldn't imagine it.

Of course, it might also be that he didn't want to answer.

Chen Feng smiled, "I can tell you a more 'hypocritical' answer. We can even do another questionnaire survey. I believe that more than 80% of native Chinese speakers will choose the same answer. If the East had not fallen behind, the world would be a better place, and peace would no longer be a fantasy. Perhaps the community of human destiny would have already become a reality, and humans are now seriously thinking about colonizing Mars."

Oxford professor: "That's you glorifying your own humanity. You just did a good job in ideological work."

Chen Feng spread his hands: "I analyzed with you the differences in the fast and slow thinking structures of Chinese and English before. Don't you realize that the worldview of native Chinese speakers with fast thinking is difficult to be shaped by others? I admit that the main information circulated in all countries has a certain nature of being systematically processed."

"But fast-structured native speakers acquire information faster and acquire more information every day. The positions of those who process information are not completely consistent, so even if we still receive processed information, the processing direction is diversified and dialectical." "

In the Chinese world, no one and no force can accurately shape the worldview of Chinese native speakers. The reason why we have the national confidence and the worldview we have today is not because of anyone who has shaped us, but because we have inherited a civilization history of 5,000 years and each of us actively absorbs a large amount of information every day." "The confidence and self-discipline

of Chinese native speakers come from the large amount of diversified information they absorb quickly from childhood to adulthood. Chinese civilization is famous for its construction, and it is precisely because we can quickly complete the accumulation of basic knowledge in the process of growth and start to create wealth for society and civilization."

"Ordinary people like us can also focus more firmly on the present, instead of always thinking about the illusory future. On the contrary, English native speakers should obviously plan better for the future, but are now completely immersed in the trap of pre-consumption. Whose fault is it?"

The Oxford professor expressed his dissatisfaction, "If the East leads the world, there will still be plunder, exploitation and oppression."

Chen Feng: "Plunder is indeed part of human nature. But different people carry out plunder, and the results are also different. A civilization that is good at construction often does not think about exhausting resources when plundering others, but mutual benefit and win-win. We must also take the biggest share, but we will leave enough room for development for the plundered."

"Under our model, the wealth of the entire human destiny community is increased in value, rather than simply transferred from area A to area B. Our exploitation is benign exploitation, which can no longer be called exploitation, but a win-win situation, and can also be called sustainable development." The

poor old Oxford professor was embarrassed to find that he could not argue with the young man in front of him.

He was a little annoyed at first, but his mood soon calmed down.

At this time, Chen Feng's status in the academic world played a role again.

Others are always more tolerant of his words.

After completing the questionnaire survey report in the Chinese-speaking areas, the Oxford professor's project was declared a great success.

But he was not happy, and even rejected Chen Feng's invitation to further expand the survey sample to 10 million people, and returned to China with his team.

Chen Feng did not deliberately put on airs, and enthusiastically sent him to the plane, and said that Xingfeng Research Institute would also establish subordinate research institutions in social sciences and economics, and then sent him a very formal invitation letter to join, with courteous and thoughtful manners, which was impeccable.

After returning to the company, Chen Feng scanned the international news while organizing his thoughts more seriously.

Although he was very stubborn in front of others and praised his Chinese mother tongue in various ways, he actually realized very clearly that as a civilized leader, he could not just look at the shortcomings of others and ignore his own shortcomings.

He had to be more dialectical and rational when considering problems.

In fact, both languages ​​have their own advantages and disadvantages, and both have their own inevitability of birth.

There is no reproductive isolation between races of any skin color, and humans share a set of genetic systems and almost completely identical brain structures. However, in the course of historical evolution, two completely different language structures have been subtly produced.

There is only one reason, the instinctive need for civilization.

This is driven by the human instinct of competition.

The two language structures with completely different speeds have their own advantages and disadvantages.

In a slow-thinking society, the lower-class people are often more ignorant.

Because the speed of obtaining information is slow and the time cost of obtaining information is high.

However, native English speakers engaged in academic and professional work can use more accumulated learning time to make up for the shortcomings of low learning efficiency and obtain a more solid knowledge system.

Slow learning means that they have more time to think carefully during the learning process.

In a fast-thinking society, the grassroots people are more likely to obtain basic information, and the people's intellectual enlightenment is relatively higher.

But the disadvantage is that if they are non-professionals, the multi-faceted knowledge structure of the fast-thinking population is not solid, commonly known as a jack of all trades and master of none.

Because the fast-paced knowledge system is built too quickly, the foundation is not solid enough.

It is easy for native Chinese speakers to learn things superficially, but if they want to achieve impeccable knowledge, they need to spend more time to consolidate the knowledge system and slowly lay a solid foundation.

To understand from the perspective of quantum thinking, the small spirals of fragmented memory that are quickly established need more repetitions to consolidate in order to form a more stable pattern.

The time it takes to re-consolidate the basics is actually not much shorter than that for native English speakers, and is basically the same.

Some geniuses may show individual differences, but Chen Feng will consider the problem from a more comprehensive overall framework.

Therefore, among the basically qualified middle and upper-class intellectuals, the proportion of fast-thinking expert scholars is higher.

But at the level of top intellectuals, the efficiency dividends reaped by the fast-thinking structure have been spit out.

Currently, the proportion of native Chinese speakers among the world's top scientists is relatively low, even far lower than one-fifth of the population.

For this gap, a more external explanation is the difference in national conditions.

Because the subject of fast thinking, China, is currently playing the role of a follower, and in the process of catching up, it always needs to face the scientific blockade constructed by the slow-thinking society.

The relative backwardness in many fields is an objective fact that cannot be transferred by personal will.

Most scholars born in a Chinese-speaking environment must first break through the blockade before they can acquire truly top-level knowledge. Fast-thinking China faces an additional dilemma compared to slow-thinking Europe and the United States.

A more idealistic view is Chen Feng's so-called theory that language determines thinking patterns.

In a fast-thinking social structure, ordinary people have better basic knowledge, but at the top level, fast thinking will experience a certain degree of efficiency decline.

Theoretically, if fast-thinking native speakers themselves have a more stable personality, they can also lay a solid foundation step by step in the process of learning and accumulating knowledge like slow thinkers.

But this also requires a calm and tenacious character. Therefore, in terms of proportion, slow thinking is indeed more likely to produce middle-level intellectuals, and leads to a gap in the number of top intellectuals.

In terms of the number of top intellectuals, people with fast thinking native language structure lag behind slightly.

The reasons are very complicated and there are many aspects. Chen Feng can only stubbornly believe that no matter what the native language is, the difficulty of reaching the top era of knowledge is the same.

It's just that the complex external environment in the real world ultimately leads to such a result, so he can only look at the world with both dialectical and idealistic ideas.

He believes that the most perfect and labor-saving shortcut is to perfectly integrate the two language environments so that future generations can think without distinction between fast and slow structures during their growth.

This is innate integration.

There is a most vivid example around him.

A young scholar named Lai En, who grew up in a bilingual environment and whose mother tongue is not Chinese or English.

Admittedly, Lai En's success is inseparable from his personal talent and hard work, but his existence at least gave Chen Feng confidence.

At the same time, Chen Feng also wants to pursue acquired integration.

A true scholar can break free from the constraints of the innate mother tongue environment.

He grew up in a Chinese environment, entered an English environment during his growth stage, and then mastered English with great learning ability, and merged the advantages of the two languages ​​into his own mind. There

are many more representatives of this acquired perfect fusion, such as Tsung-Dao Lee, Chen-Ning Yang, Samuel Ting, and Tung Di-Chou.

Chen Feng thinks this is not bad, at least it provides a new possibility.

But perhaps someone will question him, disagree with his opinion, and sarcastically ask him, "Do you think that a pure Chinese environment cannot produce great scholars?"

Chen Feng can only helplessly say that there are, but the quantity and quality are not satisfactory.

Moreover, the meaning of globalization lies in integration. If you insist on retreating from integration and only stick to your own language, isn't that going backwards in history and closing the country?

Every language represents a valuable idea, and every idea has its own value.

Diversified languages ​​are a precious treasure left to mankind in the process of civilization development and evolution. Why do you want to give up the treasure and promote extreme nationalism?

That is certainly not advisable.

The world's excellent academic papers are both Chinese and English.

You only look at Chinese and not English?

Then what you see will always be one-sided. Do you

still expect to produce great scholars in this way?

At this time, the arbitrageurs have something to say.

Then why can't all valuable English papers be translated into Chinese?

Chen Feng will throw his hands up.

Even if he can use this foresight to select which papers are valuable, and organize enough manpower and material resources for translation.

But one thing cannot be ignored, that is, the learner's own need for perfect understanding.

When an article in one language is translated into another language, not only the surface meaning is changed, but its logical core will inevitably be lost more or less in the translation process.

The result of only looking at the translation is that what you absorb will definitely be partially one-sided.

Whether it is Chinese to English or English to Chinese, it is the same.

Chen Feng wants to win the war a thousand years later, so he has to pursue the ultimate. From now on, he must explore the perfect logical operation method that conforms to the structure of the human brain-a combination of fast and slow, and no distinction between Chinese and Western.

He wants to let the future generations have both Chinese characters and phonetic characters running side by side in their brains, and switch seamlessly anytime and anywhere.

Then, when the knowledge level of future generations continues to expand and reaches a certain level, they can choose the next focus by themselves.

If some future generations are ready to engage in purely technical jobs, they will focus on Chinese.

Some future generations are ready to engage in the most pure theoretical research, so let their thinking patterns gradually lean towards English.

This is a relative emphasis, and in specific practice, different choices will be made due to individual differences.

In the end, there must be a small number of people who will naturally master both languages ​​from different paths, and can explore all core knowledge in a broad and deep way, becoming great scholars who lead the times.

As for how Chen Feng realized this seemingly fantastic idea?

In fact, it was not difficult at all.

He had even planned the preparations long ago and had actually done it.

It was the game "Complex Eyes Crisis".

Through the technology of virtual reality, a second world is covered on the basis of the real world.

In the previous timeline, "The Crisis of the Compound Eyes", which took 18 years to develop, was released in 2038.

The world has changed since then.

People played the real-time "game" of the next era a hundred years in advance.

People can do everything in this game. They can enjoy the satisfaction and pleasure brought by virtual reality entertainment, and also complete the foundation of basic knowledge here.

People from all over the world are connected because of this software that is like a game but not a game. Many cultural barriers that exist due to mutual misunderstanding are eliminated invisibly.

And what's more terrifying is that Chen Feng doesn't look like a capitalist at all.

His original intention of making games was not to make money, so he has a lot of crazy operations.

In order to prevent the impact on the productivity development of the first world, he has set a strict limit on the average online time per person.

I heard that you want to increase the online time?

That's fine, you can learn things, take exams, and increase the game time after passing the exams.

If you can become a doctor in the game, you can play for eight hours a day.

Of course, doctors also have their own sufferings. The game tasks of doctors directly become requirements for you to achieve certain achievements in reality.

It's so pitfalls and so overbearing.

The final right of interpretation belongs to our company.

If someone else made games like this, they would have died a long time ago.

But Chen Feng happened to have a technical advantage that others could not reach.

Moreover, governments around the world benefited from the talent dividend of the bizarre operating model of "The Ocular Crisis". Instead of stabbing Chen Feng in the back, they "helped the tiger" and became the wings of Star Games.

When the holographic helmet jointly developed by Star Research Institute and Star Games came out and was sold at a low price, the holographic era of mankind officially arrived. The influence of "The Ocular Crisis" increased again, and it eventually became popular for two hundred years, becoming an important boost to the great integration of civilizations.

Using the second world to cover the first world and allowing culture to merge in the second world first can effectively eliminate contradictions.

In the previous timeline, Chen Feng embedded a unified translation function to facilitate communication between people of different languages ​​in the game.

This time he came up with a new main idea.

The scope of application of the translation function is weakened, and the language used by users of different languages ​​in certain interactions in the game is deliberately misplaced.

For example, when a Chinese user wants to use a certain function, he opens it and sees an all-English interface. He is not allowed to open the translation, and can only use the game's built-in dictionary to look up words one by one.

The rewards for this function are particularly rich, and you will regret it for the rest of your life if you miss it. It

is even more pathological, with no text at all, just pure voice, forcing you to practice listening and reading.

Of course, he will not be so pathological during the promotion stage of the game, but once he has stabilized his position, Chen Feng is ready to start all kinds of fancy ways to kill himself, anyway, no one can do anything to him.

He does not seek to achieve success overnight.

Assuming that he increases his investment this time and "The Crisis of the Compound Eyes" can start public testing in 2035, then he will use the next fifty years to sweep across two generations and will eventually see results.

After making up his mind, Chen Feng called Meng Xiaozhou over and asked,

"How is the preparation for Light and Shadow Studio and the game company going?"

Meng Xiaozhou said, "Everything is going well. Light and Shadow Studio will be established in two months at the latest. Star Games will take about another five months."

Chen Feng waved his hand and said, "Increase your efforts to attract money! Prepare the "Across the Stars" film production team as soon as possible and go to the bank to negotiate a loan. I want to increase investment in Star Games and you must set up the stall for me within three months. I have a list here and you can follow the list."

Chen Feng gave Meng Xiaozhou a long list.

All of them are well-known figures who made important contributions to the development of the game "The Crisis of the Compound Eyes" in the previous timeline, such as Chen Liangqi, He Anqi, Xiang Ri and others.

These people had mixed feelings about Master Chen in their previous lives, and were tortured to death by his 18-year long development cycle of three years after three years.

The project has been in closed beta, tested again and again.

These dreamy young people waited and waited, and when they couldn't wait any longer, they came and went, and left and came again.

It is commonly known in the underworld that the Whampoa Military Academy has entered the palace many times.

What's more tragic is that their names were all remembered firmly by Chen Feng when he read the historical materials.

Meng Xiaozhou was about to leave when Chen Feng stopped him again and pointed out a few names. "Sign longer contracts for these people, and give them higher salaries and performance bonuses."

Meng Xiaozhou was puzzled. "Looking at their resumes, they are not very impressive, right?"

Chen Feng smiled but said nothing. "Trust my judgment."

Meng Xiaozhou understood immediately. It seemed that these people were future big names in the gaming field, and they were going to be harvested by Chen Feng in advance.

"Okay, then I will sign an eighteen-year contract with them?"

Chen Feng shook his head, "Eighteen is unlucky, let's just sign twenty years. Oh, by the way, let's find the best psychological treatment institution and sign a long-term contract."

Meng Xiaozhou vaguely heard murderous intent from Chen Feng's mouth, and walked away quickly with sympathy for these people.

Master Chen smiled and said, how can I let you down.

This time, we still have to work harder in the Star Game, the mission has become more difficult.

He looked down at his chest.

I am so great.

The red scarf on his chest has become more colorful.
