Plane Small Bookstore [System]

Le Jing decided to leave the base.

He has been in this place too long.This is a very small human base, and there must be more and larger human bases in other places.

The books in his store play a limited role here.He's going where they can really work.

"I will come back." Le Jing looked firmly at the children who had come back from the dead, and said with a smile, "Before then, you all have to live."

Ji Xing nodded vigorously, with a vigorous smile: "I haven't seen the stars with my own eyes yet! I want to live until the day I can see the starry sky!"

"I want to be a pilot!"

"I want to see what the future looks like, so I will try to live!"

The children talked in a hurry, and their smiles shone through the haze.

What is the use of dreams when reality is so dark?Dreams are still useful.

Because dreams have gleams that can illuminate reality.

And human beings themselves are light-seeking creatures.

So Victor turned into a black dragon again, and Le Jing and Cairns sat on the back of the dragon and started their journey.

It stands to reason that the air is full of poisonous gas and the oxygen content is too low, so Le Jing cannot last long on the ground.It's time to feel the magic of magic.

Under the spell cast by Keynes, a green translucent bubble appeared on Le Jing's head, allowing him to breathe freely as if he was wearing an oxygen cylinder.

Le Jing heard Keynes say that this is the magic used by elves to breathe underwater, and he guessed that this magic should function as an absorption filter.

He also considered asking Cairns to teach magic to the people in the base.But I don't know whether the people in the base have no talent, or the world is not in harmony with the magic system. None of the people in the base can learn magic.Le Jing is a bit sorry for this.

Sitting on the dragon's back, Le Jing could more intuitively see the terrible impact of the asteroid on the earth.

As far as the eye can see, it is all dead and desolate. Black and gray are the main colors, and occasionally there are a few bright colors, which are just the colors of the abandoned buildings that have not completely faded.This is the dead silence and desolation that no realistic disaster movie can make.After looking at this kind of scenery for a long time, sometimes Le Jing feels in a trance that he is the last human being in the world, and that huge sense of loneliness can drive any normal person crazy.So there are many people who survived the initial natural disaster, but did not survive the loneliness after the natural disaster.

The destination of Lejing's trip is the largest human gathering place on earth.He didn't know where it was, only that it was in the east, where the sun rose, from the head of the base.

So he headed east.He is not worried about not being able to find his destination, because the earth is round, as long as he walks in one direction, he will eventually find what he is looking for.

Then on the No.30 day, he found a red five-star red flag on the barren ruins.The red flag fluttered in the wind, like an unquenchable flame.

In addition to the five-star red flag, there are also Star-Spangled Banner, Maple Leaf Flag, Mi Ziqi... Dozens of flags flutter in the wind, which is extremely spectacular and shocking.

Above them stands a larger banner.A white olive branch holds the globe on a blue flag.

This is Lejing's destination - the shelter base of the United Nations on Earth.

People from all countries, all ethnic groups, and all skin colors live here.They use different languages, believe in different religions, and have different customs and habits, but now they gather here with a common identity—earth humans.

Humans are pathetic creatures that only unite when defending themselves against foreign enemies.

Under the cover of Le Ling, they landed quietly without disturbing the radar and monitoring in the base.

Le Jing lightly brushed off the wind and dust on his body, let Keynes take back his magic, and then walked towards the sentry post.After a brief interrogation and a body search, the sentries let them go.

Wang Lei is a registrar in the registration room.His job is to register the information of the refugees, and then provide them with jobs based on their personal information.If there are special talents, they should be reported to the above, and the above will assign them to suitable positions.

But special talents are scarce.If in the first few years of the disaster, the base did accommodate a large number of special talents.But it has been 20 years now, even if there are any special talents who are wandering outside, they will almost die.As for the new generation after the disaster?People outside can't live anymore, who has the time and energy to study?

So Wang Lei has not met a decent special talent for a long time.

One day, he was sitting at the desk spinning pens bored, when he saw an oriental man and a foreigner with a high nose and deep eyes walking in.

Orientals have gentle and handsome features, and they are a typical image of refined scholars. They have a strong book fragrance on their bodies, which makes people feel good.But the foreigner was the exact opposite of him.Obviously, his appearance was the most exquisite and perfect that he had ever seen in his life, as if he had stepped out of a movie.But seeing those dark green eyes, Wang Lei felt his scalp tingle and panicked.

The only thing in common between the two is fair and delicate skin and a healthy body, which is not common nowadays.Even Wang Lei's face was pale with malnutrition!What surprised him the most was the shiny black cat in the arms of the Oriental youth.What age is this, and these two people still have extra food for pets?

...Maybe it's food reserves?

There was a gentle smile on the face of the oriental youth: "Are you registering here?" The voice was clear and clear, like a cool stream flowing into the dry and cracked land, which made people feel refreshed.

Wang Lei came back to his senses and took out a registration form. First, the Oriental started to register.

First, some general personal information. When asked what special talents or specialties he had, the young man from the East thought for a while and replied with a smile, "Probably because he has a better memory?"

Wang Lei raised his head and looked at the young man speechlessly. What kind of answer is this?

"How good is your memory?" Wang Lei asked.

The young man's smile remained unchanged, and he replied calmly: "Probably enough to hold a National Library."

Wang Lei stared at him as if he had seen a ghost, and he subconsciously asked, "What did you say?"

The young man repeated what he said before, and then asked calmly, "Do you need me to prove it?"

Wang Lei nodded, his eyes seemed to be a joke.In his opinion, although this young man looks like a scholar, maybe he has read a few books, but can he remember a book from the National Library?This is beyond ridiculous.

Wang Lei has seen many such people.In order to make the leaders of the base pay more attention to themselves, many people wished they could blow their bullshit to the sky!Now, he also classified this young man with those people.

"Bring me a book you've read, and I can memorize it."

Now that the young man said so, Wang Lei casually mentioned the title of a book he saw in the base library a few days ago.This is a book about mechanical manufacturing, and the content is difficult and complicated. Wang Lei fell asleep after reading the beginning. He dared to say that this is the most profound book he has ever seen.

Then, under his schadenfreude gaze, the young man spoke clearly and began to recite.

Three minutes later, Wang Lei's expression was already a little surprised.

Five minutes later, Wang Lei's expression began to develop in the direction of shock.

Ten minutes later, Wang Lei interrupted Le Jing's recitation with a look of confusion, and then gave Le Jing an advanced physics book.

Then there is a book of poetry, a book of philosophy, a book of biology, a book of geography...

Every time the young man recites very smoothly, without any pause, as if these are just easy for him.Although Wang Lei couldn't understand, he had already realized the extraordinaryness of young people.

He no longer saw the contempt for the youth in his eyes, and his back was sweating unknowingly.This time, he interrupted the young man's recitation in a more polite tone. Then he asked the young man to wait a while, then went to the inner room, and used the internal line to call the dean of the School of Biological Sciences at the base.

Under the secretion of adrenaline, his heart was pounding, and goosebumps came out from the excitement.He had a hunch that perhaps he had discovered a genius for mankind, a genius of geniuses.

Xu Yuan is 72 years old this year, already in his seventies.His life has been quite rough.When I was young, I devoted myself to research and learning, but I didn't understand the world.Although he has high scientific research ability, not only does he not receive research funding in the institute, but he is excluded.What's more, his achievements have to be crowned with other people's names.In this way, most of my life was wasted.He originally thought that this would be the end of his life, but he didn't expect that a catastrophe would strike, and an asteroid that came from afar would destroy the entire human civilization on Earth.

The governments of countries that survived the disaster began to actively organize post-disaster reconstruction and resettlement of refugees.However, Xu Yuan, a biological expert with excellent knowledge, emerged because of this, and became a special technical talent who was regarded as a guest of honor by the government.And in the next 20 years, he was promoted step by step with his scientific research achievements, and finally became the dean of the entire United Nations Academy of Biological Sciences.

It's just like a great black humor satire.But if he could choose, Xu Yuan would rather spend his whole life doing nothing than living in this hopeless apocalypse.

When he received the call from the reception room, he was studying the latest scientific research report of the Agricultural College. He was very excited by the high yield of the new experimental rice.Xu Yuan smiled helplessly when he heard Xiao Wang say on the phone, "I discovered a talent with a library in his head" and "He showed me that he memorized a lot of books very well".

In his opinion, that young man just has a better memory, so he can only fool the uneducated Xiao Wang. After all, even if he recited the wrong Xiao Wang, he would not be able to hear it.However, he has no intention of blaming Xiao Wang. After all, he was the one who told him before. If he finds someone with special talent, he must report it to him as soon as possible.Xiao Wang has not reported to him a special talent for a long time, so it doesn't matter if he goes to meet that person.

If he really has some real talent, it would be nice to have him admitted to the Academy of Sciences.And maybe the knowledge he knows can fill in the gaps in the Academy of Sciences—he is not without optimism.

Today is different from the past.Thinking of the technological development over the years, he could only shake his head and sigh.He can say that the current level of science and technology has set back 40 years as a whole, and in some fields, it has set back more than 100 years.

Many talents from all walks of life before the apocalypse have no place to play after the apocalypse.Because under the fine division of labor in modern society, no individual knows enough knowledge to maintain the operation of key social processes.Even if an experienced technician in the factory survives, all he knows is the details of his own work, and he may not even know anything about the knowledge that other workers in the factory have, which is indispensable for maintaining production— Not to mention the technical issues of how to mine ore and coal resources, make CNC machines and molds, and provide the electricity to run factories.

The most visible technologies used in everyday life are just the tip of the iceberg.Even a small screw is an assembly line standard product born after hundreds of years of development in the industrial society.If it is impossible to establish a standard production line and only rely on manual polishing, the small errors in the middle will be enough to crash an aircraft.

So what the UN government is doing now is to try to find special talents in various positions in all walks of life, organize them, integrate the knowledge they know, and play a greater role.But it has to be said that the effect is slow.Moreover, the death of a large number of talents and the destruction of materials have caused a knowledge fault within the base, which not only creates great resistance to the construction of the base, but also profoundly affects the education of the next generation.

In modern society, the cultivation of a talent needs more than ten years of basic education and at least four years of higher education.During this time, they will learn the basics of each field.Don't underestimate the basic knowledge in the compulsory education stage. It is the crystallization of thousands of years of human civilization and the basis of all science.Only by laying a solid foundation can human beings have the opportunity for further development.

But now after the cataclysm, the lack and blankness of basic education is the main source of affecting the inheritance of human civilization.

Although they salvaged many books from some surviving libraries, some computer hard drives that were lucky enough to still be running also stored a lot of knowledge.

But the way this knowledge is presented is certainly not conducive to a society starting from scratch.How can an ordinary person understand the proper nouns and definitions in a biology book?How can a professor who does not know a foreign language study a foreign language book?Can a physicist read a book of geography?

A large part of these books and papers are written on the premise that the readers have already mastered some basic knowledge, but if his readers do not have the relevant basic knowledge, then these knowledge will be like waste paper.

And those books aimed at general readers?Xu Yuan almost wanted to laugh.Those books that teach you how to manage a business, improve your emotional intelligence, and how to make money are waste paper now.Although there are also some popular science books, they are often written too superficially and cannot play the role of perfecting basic subject knowledge.

And this is just the loss of basic disciplines.The loss of higher education is equally horrifying.Not to mention how many talents and geniuses died in the disaster, but those advanced research results and cutting-edge knowledge were secretly stored in special journal website servers, and some were even locked in a safe in the form of manuscripts, and then the tsunami , after volcanic eruptions and natural disasters such as earthquakes and blizzards, they can no longer be found.

Sometimes Xu Yuan couldn't help but think that it would be great if there was a book that could completely record the basic and even advanced knowledge of all disciplines on the earth.After reading this book, anyone can understand the essence of a subject and immediately devote themselves to scientific construction.

But he also knew that he was whimsical.Before the disaster, no one would invest a lot of manpower and material resources to do this, but after the disaster, they had more than enough energy.

Under his wild thoughts, he soon arrived at the registration room, and the "genius" mentioned by Xiao Wang on the phone was sitting on the stool upright.

Seeing him coming, Xiao Wang immediately got up to give up his seat, and he didn't refuse, just sat down in Xiao Wang's seat, and only then did he see the young man's appearance clearly.

Looks like a good seed.

Xu Yuan was very satisfied with his bookish air.There is a good saying: "There is a poetic and bookish spirit in one's belly." Whether a person has read books can be seen from his temperament.

Xu Yuan first asked straight to the point: "Young man, I heard from Xiao Wang that you have a book from the National Library in your head?"

Le Jing first asked: "Are you?"

Xu Yuan replied: "I am the president of the United Nations Academy of Biological Sciences, Xu Yuan."

Le Jing asked again: "No offense intended, may I ask if you are the one who can speak in the School of Biological Sciences?"

Although the words did not mean to offend, Le Jing's words can be said to be provocative.No matter how good Xu Yuan had a good impression of him, he was a little displeased at this moment, "I don't think this has anything to do with the content of our conversation."

Le Jing shook his head, and said seriously: "It's related." He pointed to his head, "The crystallization of human civilization for thousands of years is stored here. And I will only give it to the one who says nothing."

This sentence is too arrogant.The arrogance is almost ridiculous.Xu Yuan also really laughed: "Young man." He kindly advised: "It's better to be humble and down-to-earth. People who are too arrogant generally don't have a good end."

He has met countless people in his life, but the more arrogant the person, the less good he will end up.In any country, people prefer a humble person to a megalomaniac.

The young man was unmoved, and in Xu Yuan's eyes, he said stubbornly: "You can test me to your heart's content."

Xu Yuan smiled. At his age, he had already met all kinds of people, so he didn't feel disobedient about the youth's obsession.

He asked him a biological question casually, and to his surprise the young man answered it fluently.

Xu Yuan couldn't help but slightly raised his evaluation of the youth.Because the question just now was quite difficult, and the young man can answer it, at least it proves that he has a certain knowledge of biology.

Then he asked the young man a more difficult question, and this time the young man answered it fluently.

As for the next few questions, the youth answered them perfectly like a textbook.

Xu Yuan was really completely shocked now.How old is he?She looks like she's only in her twenties!But his knowledge is not inferior to him!

This is a real genius!As for geniuses, people have always been tolerant, and Xu Yuan is no exception.He has already forgiven Le Jing's "arrogance", thinking that this is the arrogance common to geniuses.So he kindly said to Le Jing: "I am the one who says nothing in the School of Biological Sciences. If you have any requirements, you can just ask me. If we can satisfy you, we will definitely satisfy you."

Unexpectedly, the young man shook his head and said, "You just asked me questions about biology, and I can also answer your questions about other subjects."

After he said that, Xu Yuan tentatively raised a recent cutting-edge issue at the Academy of Physics. He intended to make things difficult for the young man and help him calm down.Who knew that even the young man answered this question without thinking.

Although they are in different disciplines, Xu Yuan, out of the keen intuition of a scientist, almost immediately realized the technical content contained in this answer.

His expression immediately became serious, and he immediately used the landline to call the people from the Academy of Physical Sciences.

Then the people from the Academy of Physical Sciences called the people from the Academy of Geographical Sciences with a pale face.

Then there are people from medical school, people from engineering school, people from mathematics school...

This small registration room quickly gathered top scientists from various fields, and it was even a bit crowded.They scrambled to ask all kinds of tricky questions to the young man sitting in the middle, and tried every means to stump the young man.

However, this young man's brain really seems to "store the crystallization of human civilization for thousands of years" as he claimed. No matter what kind of difficulties he faces, he can answer them fluently, and he even easily answers many difficult problems that have plagued scientists in various disciplines for a long time. !

In the end, everyone including Xu Yuan couldn't help but look at Le Jing in awe. This can no longer be described as a genius!

A monster, a monster through and through!

If it weren't for the fact that technology has not yet developed to that level, they would even have doubted whether he is a brain-smart robot!

Le Jing calmly looked at the awe-inspiring eyes of everyone, and gave an explanation that was destined not to be believed by everyone: "I am not a genius, I am just a porter of human civilization."

The author has something to say:

Le·Human Civilization Porter·Ling: Hee hee hee~(￣▽￣～)～
