Chapter 40: The Present Situation of Human Society

Dong Chen's human language and philology are still very fast, but the elder is no longer surprised, but he is used to Dong Chen's amazing learning efficiency.

"The Great Elder, that is, it is the 2981st year of the Science and Technology calendar. To be more specific, it is April 19th?"

After reading a human book introducing the history of the Eastern Continent, the Book of Heaven updated the real-time date display of the Other Star based on the latest data obtained.

However, this was only calculated by him. The specific time is still to ask the locals, and the one with the most "cultural" in the Giant Stone Tribe is the Great Elder.

"This year is indeed 2981, but if it's time, I have to calculate it."

The elder was teasing Xiao Hei at first, and he was a little dazed when he heard Dong Chen ask about this. After all, he was an old barbarian who was already 95 years old.

He muttered a few words, and after he calculated, the elder said, "That's right, today is indeed April 19th, because there is about a month left, that guy Mahaya's caravan is coming."

"Why did you suddenly remember to ask about the date? You also use the technology calendar? Maybe your ancestors also survived on the Eastern Continent a long time ago."

"Haha, maybe this is true..." Dong Chen touched his nose and said, "There have always been legendary in our place, saying that there are other lands in this world, which are the original lands, so I came out to look for them."

"That's right," the elder let go of Xiao Hei, then found a well-preserved paper book from the bookshelf and opened it, and pointed it to Dong Chen, "According to historical records, all the intelligent creatures in this world lived on the Eastern continent at the beginning."

"Later, due to the invasion of the barbarians, many peaceful groups who were unwilling to engage in war took a boat to find a new place to live. Your ancestors might have been a human team at that time."

"Probably, I don't know this. My historical performance has always been bad, hehe." Dong Chen scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

In addition to Dong Chen's study, the Great Elder would also tell Dong Chen some adventure stories about his youth, which often carries some descriptions of the human social environment, which allows Dong Chen to understand some actual recent situations, which is much more lifelike than the descriptions in the books.

However, the Great Elder has not been out of the forest for decades, and his actual adventures have happened decades ago. According to Dong Chen's estimate, the social development of this world is very fast, and decades have been enough to undergo huge changes.

Just like steam power, it has appeared in recent years. The Great Elder didn't know about these things. In other words, some old friends gave him letters or books, which included descriptions of these new things.

Although the great elder did not go out, he was very interested in these emerging things. He also said that this thing might change the war balance between the human race and the Western barbarians, giving humans the advantage for the first time.

I have to say that the Great Elder's vision is quite accurate. He has never seen the power of this thing, but Dong Chen has seen or witnessed the power of this thing. The emergence of steam power is definitely of epoch-making significance.

The impact of the other star is definitely not only military, but also has a huge impact on the entire social structure of the other star.

However, Dong Chen discovered that the books recorded in the Great Elder's books about steam engines were recorded in the book a few years ago, and the publication date of this book was also a few years ago in reality.

In other words, it was already several years ago that Dong Chen learned about the development of steam power of the Other Star.

"Oh, there is no way. The Giant Stone Tribe is a barbarian tribe deep in the forest. "Deep in the forest" plus "barbarians", these two keywords, and it is quite good to have a book that records the development of world steam power a few years ago."

The elder looked at Dong Chen's somewhat disappointed look and smiled kindly and said, "Dong Chen, you don't have to be so disappointed. In another month, you can go to the outside world to see it yourself."

"Old man, I am just an ordinary barbarian tribe. The books I collect are just because of my own hobbies. They are not the library of the Imperial Capital University, haha."

"Hehe, Great Elder, I don't mean that. In fact, you have a lot of books here."

It’s not that Dong Chen is complimenting the Great Elder, but that the old man has a lot of books. There are bookshelf in the main house, which is only one-tenth of the old man’s collection of books.

At the beginning, Dong Chen thought that the Great Elder had only such a few books, but that was just because the Great Elder was not familiar with him and did not reveal his "treasure".

After several days of contact with Dong Chen, the Great Elder fully understood Dong Chen's character. With Dong Chen's terrifying learning speed, the Great Elder opened his library to Dong Chen after considering it.

It turned out that behind the big house, there were several accompanying small houses. The functions of these houses were different. One of them was specially used to store books. The books on several books were neatly arranged, and the content of the books was all-encompassing, and there were all records.

When Dong Chen first saw these, he was really shocked.

Because even if you get books in an extremely cheap way, not many people will build such a house at home.

But in this obviously society, it is not as good as the earth, and it is still a barbarian tribe deep in the forest. Can you see a room full of books not surprising?

This is like finding a computer in a primitive tribe deep in the primeval forest of the earth. It has electricity and is even connected to the Internet to browse Weibo.

However, except for the Great Elders who often read these books in the tribe, there are really no one in it reading these things, which makes the Great Elder a little worried.

Dong Chen understood that this feeling was obviously treasures, but no one cared about it.

This is probably the reason why the Great Elder opened his library to Dong Chen, because Dong Chen is a person who appreciates and respects knowledge.

Time passed slowly, and Dong Chen would come to the Great Elder to study every day. He himself did not stipulate that he would only study one book every day, but instead learned some useful things by himself, and let the heavenly book scan down some unimportant content, and then sorted them out to enrich his other star database and prevent it from being used in the future.

Dong Chen also found language learning textbooks for the elves and dwarves here. Like some fantasy legends, the languages ​​of these two races are indeed difficult to learn, but with the help of the Book of Heaven, Dong Chen still mastered these two languages.

After entering human society, even if you do nothing, you can support yourself by doing a language translation.

He is very powerful and has a lot of money on earth, but just like when he was illiterate when he was facing different civilizations, he is now a poor man.

And he has made plans. This alien exploration must be a world-wide walk. You can't stay in one place all the time, so you have to learn all kinds of languages, otherwise communication will definitely be very difficult.
