Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

Chapter 169 Just issue the diploma directly (page 12)

Zhao Chuanxin's so-called low profile is actually not low-key at all in the eyes of others.

His outfits are timeless yet consistent with aesthetics.

There are wealthy people here who have jade pendants hanging on their waists and round hats with gems on their heads, but it is very rare for people like him to wear various chains around their necks.

More people just wear pocket watches on their chests.

The old white man smiled at Zhao Chuanxin: "Hello, my name is Thomas Chamberlain. Do you speak English?"

He sounded like an old intellectual when he spoke, and Zhao Chuanxin was very familiar with that polite yet slightly arrogant middle-class tone.

"Old man, what do you want to say?"

Zhao Chuanxin sounded like an old scoundrel as soon as he opened his mouth.

His English accent is very mixed, and you can hear the American intonation. It seems to be a southern accent, but it is not obvious.

In fact, Zhao Chuanxin couldn't understand his own tone.

It was rough English at the beginning, but then the endings of the words gradually rose up, and it sounded like a southern American accent. After a trip to the United States, I first learned spoken English in the West. Later, when I arrived in New York, I was influenced by the Eastern accent.

Later, he simply gave up on correcting him, as long as you can understand him anyway.

Thomas Chamberlain was stunned.

He felt that Zhao Chuanxin's dress could not be called noble, but he had a unique temperament.

I thought I could be polite, but my tone turned out to be quite unkind.

"Did you study in the United States to learn English?"

The journey is long. It would be bad if we stop talking. If we continue talking, we will look hot on the face but cold on the bottom.

In the end, Thomas Chamberlain could only ask a question.

"No. I have been proficient in more than 50 languages ​​since I was born."

After hearing Zhao Chuanxin's words, Thomas Chamberlain's son Lorraine Chamberlain's eyes widened.

Growing up, he has never heard of such awesomeness, okay?

He couldn't help but sneer: "So, sir, are you proficient in Japanese?"

"Not proficient."

"What about Russian?"

"Not proficient."

"What about Spanish?"

"Not proficient."

The two of you are convinced!

What are you talking about if you are not proficient?

Seeing the "embarrassment" on the faces of the two men, Zhao Chuanxin laughed: "So, you two, what are you doing in China?"

Lorraine Chamberlain said: "My father is a geologist. He currently serves as the president of the Chicago Academy of Sciences. "Hypothesis on the Cause of the Ice Age Based on Atmospheric Conditions" was written by my father. He came to China for geological investigation."

Seeing the familiar way in which he introduced his father and boasted about his past deeds, Zhao Chuanxin somewhat understood the cooperation between the two men.

People can't brag about themselves, but if there are people nearby who praise them, the effect will be different.

Hearing the word glacier, a movie came to Zhao Chuanxin's mind: "The Day After Tomorrow".

He blurted out: "Global warming?"

Thomas Chamberlain: "You know?"

The popular actor Lorraine Chamberlain quickly explained: "My father was one of the first scientists to propose the concept of 'global warming'. In addition, my father also dabbled in astronomy."

Now, the two men looked at Zhao Chuanxin with admiration.

At least Zhao Chuanxin must have been frequently exposed to the world's cutting-edge science and technology, otherwise he would not have known the concept of global warming.

In today's China, if you go out and shout "global warming", even those masters of Chinese traditional culture will look confused.

Zhao Chuanxin rolled his eyes and asked: "Since you are studying global climate warming, have you considered the environmental pollution problems caused by the second industrial revolution? Have you considered reducing carbon emissions and increasing the area of ​​green plants? To improve global warming? Then, have you ever thought about delaying global warming by preventing land desertification from absorbing carbon dioxide?"

The two men were stunned.

Some of them have thought about it, some of them haven't.

Because this series of problems are related, one issue affects the whole body.

As soon as they heard it, they understood that it would definitely work in theory. But if you want to achieve this, it will be extremely difficult.

"I didn't expect you, sir, to have such deep insights into global warming!"

Rollin Chamberlain was convinced.

Thomas Chamberlain's eyes shone: "You are a very far-sighted young man. Do you want to go to the Chicago Academy of Sciences for further studies? If you want, I can persuade the school to admit you under special circumstances."

Liu Guogui, who was listening in the fog, saw the old and young foreigners, who were cold and disdainful at first, and then quickly became eager. He was very confused by this change in attitude.

However, he vaguely understood one thing: Zhao Chuanxin succeeded in showing off again!

This made him envious.

Therefore, before Zhao Chuanxin could answer, he said to Zhao Chuanxin: "Zhuan Xin, please teach me English later."

You see, if you don't know English, you will miss a lot of opportunities.

"When I buy you some English books, you will be self-taught and win at the starting line. I would like to teach you, but I have to worry about family and national affairs, and I really can't spare the time." Being a teacher is also very difficult. It's fun, but it would be terrible to be a teacher every day.

When the silkworm is dead, the silk will be exhausted, and the torch will turn into gray and tears will begin to dry.

Zhao Chuanxin was unwilling to burn himself.

He did not answer Thomas Chamberlain directly, but decided to raise the bar first: "At the end of the last century, the automobile was invented. When the automobile broke away from the heavy steam engine and switched to the internal combustion engine, it gradually became popular. Have you ever thought about it? , hundreds of thousands, or even millions of cars emit exhaust every day, how much carbon dioxide will be produced?"

Thomas Chamberlain was stunned: "The usage rate of automobiles is still very small now. Isn't it unfounded to worry about it?"

"Haha." Zhao Chuanxin smiled disdainfully: "By the time you pass away, do you believe there will be at least hundreds of thousands of cars in the world?"

By 1950, world car sales reached 1000 million. The number increased year by year until the st century, when it was no longer a dream for every household in developed countries to own a car.

"I think this amount of emissions will have minimal impact on the environment. However, your starting point is scientific." Thomas Chamberlain nodded and praised: "So, are you willing to come to the Chicago Academy of Sciences for further studies?"

Zhao Chuanxin only had that little thing in his stomach, and he said it in one breath. Did he go and glare at a group of old professors in their sixties?

"Well, I want to go, but I don't have time now. It would be great if they could directly issue me a diploma."

He is actually quite tempted. When he lives into the 21st century, he will be able to produce a university diploma from the early 20th century, which will definitely amaze everyone.

If you can get a title like professor, when there are experts everywhere in the future, you can stand up and say: I was a professor at the beginning of the 20th century, what do you have to brag about?

Lorraine Chamberlain said in his heart that you are really shameless.

"This, the Academy of Sciences has never had this precedent." Thomas Chamberlain naturally refused: "Besides, you always have to learn knowledge, right?"

Although he couldn't go now, Zhao Chuanxin felt sorry for Liao, so he said: "Mr. Chamberlain, you can leave me a contact information. Maybe I will have a chance to bother you in the future."
