Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Give You a Half-Day Vacation
Forgot all?
Chen Shi sat in a chair and looked directly at every phrase that appeared on the display. The most helpful thing about his communication with 1214-b01 was the comparison reference in the tram. Without these few hours of comparison reference, linguists could not decipher this language so quickly.
After a few days of study, Chen Shi had a rough understanding of the pronunciation rules and grammar of this new language. It is indeed as Xiao Yang said. This language was born from Chinese and is almost not much different from Chinese in terms of grammar. The difficulty mainly lies in memorizing the comparison between many phrases with different pronunciations and Chinese.
He recited a lot of phrases, but he would soon forget them. He tried his best to recite them. It was impossible for him to memorize all the phrases in just two or three days and combine them for communication.
But this time it's different.
After ten hours of sleep, when he got up, facing the questions of Xiao Yang and Professor Miguel, he recalled a little, but did not think of many phrases. But when he saw the sentence flashing on the monitor, he naturally remembered and understood it.
Thirty minutes later, although Chen Shi's conversation with artificial intelligence was still slightly bumpy, it gradually became smoother and the speed of progress made Xiao Yang and Professor Miguel nod repeatedly.
Professor Miguel exclaimed from the side: "It's very good, the effect is so good. If you do this kind of deep learning again, there will definitely be no problem with daily communication."
"Okay, Chen Shi, you can go for breakfast."
Xiao Yang showed Chen Shi the time. It was already 7:30 am on the 26th. No wonder he was very hungry.
While walking towards the restaurant, Xiao Yang said to Chen Shi: "The voting results of the online name you mentioned before have come out. A total of 1.247.5 million people voted online..."
"Wait, more than 1.2 billion people?"
Chen Shi was startled and couldn't believe it: "Why are there so many people?"
“So many people vote.”
Xiao Yang explained: "There are more than 800 million netizens in China alone. Although not everyone participates in the voting, more than 500 million people participate in the voting. If the voting time is not short, give more time and it will not be difficult to achieve a turnout of more than 2 billion people."
"this……"
Don’t listen to voting seems to be a simple arithmetic problem. In fact, Chen Shi knew that anything involved in "billions" as a unit would be quite terrible. Real-name system is required, and the same IP cannot be repeated voting. The website must be able to withstand access and browse by more than one billion people and verify the identity. I am afraid that only a few institutions such as Alibaba Cloud can do it in China.
When he handed the tablet to Chen, he looked down and found that the highest vote was "Gre" and there was an English translation next to it. The second one was "Second Language" and the third one was "Tutu Language". Obviously, the domestic vote pushed the third higher.
"Which one do you want to choose?" Xiao Yang asked.
"Isn't this based on the highest vote?"
Chen Shi turned his head in confusion.
"..." Xiao Yang shook his head and replied seriously: "It is not based on the highest voting, but based on your wishes. The 1.2 billion voters are just about participating and cannot participate in the choice."
Chen Shi laughed silently: "But this will anger everyone? If you only choose based on my meaning, how do you explain it then?"
"It's easy to explain." Xiao Yangyun was calm and had great experience in dealing with this: "All voting only accounts for 10% of the weight of the result, and the remaining 90% of the weight is decided by the relevant departments, and the final right of interpretation belongs to the relevant departments."
Chen Shi was speechless (. ̄□ ̄)? What you said makes sense, but I can't refute it.
"How, which one do you like?"
To be honest, it doesn’t matter what the name of this language is. The senior executives above said that since Chen Shi was the first to contact 1214-b01, give him the naming rights.
This was approved by the leaders of many countries.
Chen Shi's fingers slid back and forth on the tablet, and he didn't care about how to name them, but many of the names that were voted for obviously had spoof elements, which reminded him of the fact that when he chose a name for an aircraft carrier, there were also many spoof names.
It’s nothing to play with, of course you can’t choose a spoof name in formal occasions.
"Just call it a second language. It is derived from human languages, not any language of a human race. It is also very good to call a second language."
Chen Shi pondered.
"Well, I will notify the other side to finalize this name."
After having breakfast with Chen Shi, he saw that Xiao Yang had not spoken yet, so he couldn't help asking: "Is today the same study plan yesterday?"
"Well, today you need to consolidate your learning results yesterday again, and I'm afraid you have to do a deep sleep learning again in the afternoon."
"What about the morning?"
Chen Shike keenly realized that Xiao Yang didn't say anything in the morning.
“There are also learning plans in the morning.”
Xiao Yang looked down at his watch, looked up and smiled suddenly: "It was originally like this, but this time the experts from the psychology group suggested that you give you half a day off."
"Give me a half-day vacation?" Chen Shi was half-believing and half-doubted, and was a little uncomfortable: "Time should be very urgent. Is it necessary to give me a vacation?"
“Yes, time is tight.”
Xiao Yang sighed, "But have you ever thought about it? Even if you work every five days, you have nominal weekends. Until now, in addition to learning various skills, you are struggling to survive... Your experience of one day there may be richer than the experience of most humans in their lifetime. And you are not a robot, and even a robot has metal fatigue, let alone a human being? If you are too tight, the string will break."
Chen Shi was stunned for a moment by Xiao Yang's words and nodded silently, "Okay, then I'll take a long rest."
Xiao Yang glanced at him calmly. He knew all the information of Chen Shi, of course he knew that if it were Chen Shi at the beginning, he would have been so reluctant to rest for a long time when he heard this sentence.
Xiao Yang thought about it. Chen Shi, who returned to Earth for the fourth time... has indeed changed a lot. In order to survive, people are still growing.
"Well, since I'm resting, can I play the sports I like?"
"sure."
“Is table tennis OK?”
"No problem, I'll ask someone to arrange it right away."
"Well, thank you." Chen Shi thanked him. He was not good at sports, and he was even worse than football and basketball. He had only played table tennis. When he was working in the factory, he played a few games of table tennis. He liked to kill junior high school students in the family building of the surrounding factory.
It is said that he is resting for a long time and it is impossible to leave this base to go out for activities. So he can only do some exercises that he is good at to activate his body. Well, maybe he can also find someone to play PC games.
"But there may be something you need to do in the middle."
"Things? What's going on?" Chen Shi, who stood up, said confused.
