"After all, before the collapse, there were 7 billion people around the world, and the most commonly used language was English.

Even when the collapse of the world's population dropped sharply to 3 billion, most of whom were English speaking, but Chinese was the one who became the mainstream language in the world. This is indeed a miracle worth pondering.

The mainstream view in the academic community is the spiritual specificity of Chinese people.

After the great collapse, the country was no longer a country, and China, like other countries, split into many small islands, and drifted farther and thousands of miles apart.

Sociologists at that time believed that under this situation, people in all countries would become increasingly weak over time and eventually tend to zero. And the close islands would establish new forces with each other.

In the more than a hundred years after making this conjecture, the development of the world and this conjecture were roughly similar, but the Chinese were the exception."

"In the early days of the Great Collapse, although the Chinese were thousands of miles apart, these people still regarded themselves as Chinese and still regarded themselves as descendants of Yan and Huang. At the same time, they insisted on Chinese education for their descendants for a long time and popularized ancient history.

Think about it, of the 3 billion people after the collapse, 400 million Chinese may survive. Although these people are scattered around the world, they have close ties with each other. What does this mean?

This means that when you go from one empty island to another, a group of people will accept you as a compatriot. You don’t even need to integrate into the local society, because Chinese people have a fixed gathering place in the local area.

Then there is the sharing of connections, the sharing of resources, and the same and stable sense of cultural identity. These factors lead to the fact that most of each empty island has small areas, exclusive to Chinese people.

As we all know, the interaction efficiency of resources is one of the important factors in social development. Currency and language are tools for humans to improve resource interaction efficiency.

Under that special condition, Chinese people deserve to be the group with the fastest resource interaction, so the one who recovered the fastest at that time was China, which directly led everyone else to want to join this huge resource interaction group.

Then... you know, language is the most basic condition for joining, and then Chinese became popular.

Now Chinese has become the common language in the world and can be used all over the world."

After Xia Xiaoyu finished speaking, he looked back at Su Ming and found that the other party was excited and was stunned.

"You...you seem to be very excited?"

"Don't you find it very exciting!" Su Ming said.

“Yes, is that?”

"You don't understand. People like us like to hear stories about the rise of our motherland the most."

Xia Xiaoyu really doesn't understand. For her, this is just a historical event, and the legend of Chinese people has become a thing of the past. Today is different from the past, and she doesn't think this story is of great significance.

Xia Xiaoyu really wanted to tell the other party that the Chinese people today have lost the cohesion they had from more than two hundred years ago.

The earliest group of people who claimed to be descendants of Yan and Huang left only a Chinese miracle in the end, and nothing else was left. Their incredible spirit and strong sense of belonging were buried in the dust of history as time passed.

Now everyone, no matter who they are, serves only their family and the alliance they belong to.

"Su Ming, now it's different. Everyone only works for their own family and affiliated organizations." Xia Xiaoyu said, "There is no longer the concept of a country, do you understand?

Now everyone uses the name of the island, or the name of the family and organization to introduce themselves.

You can say that you are from the Osborne family like Flora, or you can claim to be from Dongyang Island. If you join the Supernatural Investigation Bureau, you can also introduce yourself with this.

But it would be better not to use Chinese people to introduce themselves, as this would make people feel very strange, and no one will say that now."

"It's such a pity, that's a pity." Su Ming said sadly.

"There is nothing bad, times are changing, people can only move forward." Xia Xiaoyu said, "Su Ming, your original world seems to be very similar to our world. Did you travel from a parallel world?"

"Well." Su Ming nodded, "It's indeed very similar, maybe it's really a parallel world. But I don't understand at all, so I have a question - how many years are it now?"

"The great collapse has been 260 years, and this year is exactly 260 years old. If calculated according to the original calendar, it should be... well... 2480." Xia Xiaoyu replied.

Su Ming was surprised.

In 2480, this can indeed explain why China existed 260 years ago.

But after more than two hundred years, why does it seem that technology has not made any progress?

Everyone is still taking the subway, staying in ordinary hotels, and there are no cars flying in the air. Has the development of technology stagnated over the past two hundred years?

"Did people from two hundred years ago have the same living standards now? In the past two hundred years, science and technology have not developed at all?" Su Ming asked.

"You guessed it, although technology is still developing, it is very, very slow. Because the emergence of extraordinary power has attracted everyone's attention. Compared with the slow technology improvement, the power of supernatural power is much stronger.

Moreover, the mainland has split into various islands, and resources are difficult to concentrate, so no one is willing to spend time concentrating resources and conducting scientific and technological research and development.

Now weird is the biggest enemy of human beings, but thermal weapons have no effect on many weirdos. Therefore, even if humans develop weapons that are more powerful than nuclear bombs, they will not make human beings in a better situation. Therefore, everyone no longer has any hope for science.

However, biological genetics has always been very popular, and even now, it attracts all forces to invest wildly."

"Biogenetic genes? Human body transformation like the Hulk?"

"What is the Hulk?" Xia Xiaoyu frowned slightly, with a puzzled face.

Su Ming thought about it again that the Hulk was a film and television series from more than 200 years ago. Over the past two hundred years, even if the film level has not improved, many new movies must have been released. It is normal for the other party to not know about such old movies.

"Nothing, Hulk is a movie character, you shouldn't know. I want to ask, is the biological genetic technology you mentioned that can turn ordinary people into superpowers?"

"You think too much. If this is true, the human situation will not be so bad.

The so-called biological genetic technology is actually more like mating. It studies how to make the children born to a supernatural couple stronger.

As we all know, children born between psychics and psychics have high probability of having superpowers, and the only difference lies in the strength of superpowers.

Moreover, in extremely accidental circumstances, children will also carry the abilities of both parents and become compound psychics. The value of a compound psychic is immeasurable. Inhumane trafficking organizations that use compound psychics products have existed for a long time.

In short, if you can master the fertility rules of the psychics, it means that humans may master this extraordinary power. Therefore, for decades, this discipline has been very optimistic... Well... Especially the aristocratic class, they have always been the biggest investors in biological genetics."

Su Ming nodded thoughtfully. After listening to Xia Xiaoyu's popular science, he felt that he had to learn a lot.
