Interstellar Industrial Age

Liu Daoming and Xie Linlin hurriedly left Paris in a private anti-gravity aircraft, and had to leave without staying in the city for a day.

Overlooking Paris from the sky, this city with a long history and rumored to have a very romantic atmosphere, at this time, it is like a battlefield that is full of flames.

The huge procession filled the streets, like a rolling torrent, and like locusts passing through, where countless shops were smashed and looted.

The parade crowd even lit cars, and the billowing smoke made people seem to return to the era of revolutionary spirit.

It's just that all of this has nothing to do with Liu Daoming and Xie Linlin. The two of them didn't feel the slightest romantic atmosphere here, nor did they feel the advancement of the so-called developed countries.

Seeing is just laziness, confusion, no hope and no way out.

"Is a high-welfare society really unsustainable?"

Liu Daoming looked at everything below, and the whole person fell into contemplation.

There is no doubt that France is indeed a developed country, and it is an old developed country. The French live a very relaxed and comfortable life. There are many kinds of holidays beyond imagination, and the working hours a week should not exceed 35. Hours.

Even if you don’t work, the money issued by the state will not be too different from work. Social security such as unemployment benefits, pension system, medical system, etc. is very complete.

In such a society, the life of ordinary people is really very happy.

The former French have also created a glorious history. France is one of the first countries in the world to develop high-speed rail. France’s nuclear power technology is globally famous, and France’s large planes and fighter jets used to be world-renowned.

It's just that nowadays, the big French companies and companies that people can think of seem to have disappeared completely, and only various luxury goods, fashion shows and the like are still imprinted in everyone's mind.

The French model brings a heavy burden to French companies when it protects the employment rights of workers, and causes a huge deficit in medicine expenses for the country when it protects the people's enjoyment of medical insurance...

As a result, the entire country of France has lost its economic vitality in today's extremely fierce global competition. It is precisely the "French model" that the French people are most fond of today, which seriously hinders the development of the French economy.

Especially in the past five years, with the rapid rise of Huaxia, especially the development of Galaxy Technology Group in various high-tech fields,

It is a clean shock to the only high-tech, industrial and so on.

Of course, not only France, but all Western countries have been hit hard. France is nothing compared to the United States, Germany, and Japan, but even the aftermath has completely torn apart the last fig leaf of the French.

Without a strong industry, there is no way to support the status of a big country, let alone maintain a high welfare social system, close to the so-called luxury goods, fashion, romance, art, elegance, etc.

After leaving Paris, Liu Daoming and Xie Linlin went to Berlin, London, Rotterdam and other famous big cities in Europe. They also went to some small cities and even the countryside to have a look and walk.

Similar to Paris, Liu Daoming felt the same throughout Europe.

It took half a month to visit Europe. Liu Daoming and Xie Linlin came to North America again. The first stop was the world-famous Harvard University, and they were going to visit this university.

On the campus of Harvard University, Liu Daoming and Xie Linlin walked slowly and leisurely hand in hand. This campus has a long history and the campus environment is very good. There are neatly manicured lawns everywhere, under the shade of trees everywhere. Students of all skin colors are chatting.

"As expected of a world-renowned school, the students here are still very diligent in their studies, and they are all very serious about reading books."

Xie Linlin said to Liu Daoming with a smile when she looked at the people who were studying hard on campus.

"I heard that it is relatively easy to get in at Harvard, but it is notoriously difficult to graduate, and it is difficult to complete the credits. Therefore, if you want to graduate, Harvard students must be very serious."

"In addition to serious study, this school pays more attention to a person's active participation in school or club activities, pays attention to group spirit, and believes that a person's participation in the group is more important than being dedicated to one thing."

Liu Daoming also nodded solemnly, and he received an invitation letter from this university. He was also yearning for this famous school, so he also checked a lot of relevant information in advance.

To be honest, he really wanted to study at this school, because he had heard too many things about this famous school since he was a child. In the hearts of countless students, this is the temple.

"Bright moonlight in front of the window, suspected frost on the ground~"

"Look up at the bright moon, bow down and think about your hometown~"

Walking, walking, two people came to a wide lawn, and a familiar voice came. This voice sounded a little awkward, and the pronunciation was not very accurate, but Liu Daoming and Xie Linlin came immediately after hearing it. Spirit.

Looking at the sound, there are dozens of people sitting on the lawn, each with a book in their hands. A young man with black eyes, black hair and yellow skin is teaching these people to learn ancient Chinese poetry.

"This poem is a poem by Li Bai, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty. James, can you tell me what this word means?"

After the young man led the crowd to read the poem, he immediately called a person's name and asked.

"This poem Jing Ye Si is a poem written by Li Bai after he left his hometown because he missed his hometown, expressing his longing for his hometown."

A blond man stood up and replied in very standard Chinese.

"Very good, James' Chinese proficiency is quite good, and his pronunciation is also very accurate. I believe that there should be no problems in passing this CET-6 test."

When Zhao Ziqing heard James' reply, he smiled and nodded.

Zhao Ziqing is an international student who came to Harvard from Huaxia. With the rapid rise of Huaxia in recent years, especially with the emergence of virtual machines and virtual worlds, Chinese programming has become a necessary ability for the virtual industry. began to become popular around the world.

The same is true here at Harvard. As young people with aspirations, Harvard students are naturally not reconciled to everything in front of them.

You must know that in the past, the computer field was the world of Uncle Sam. Whether it was the core hardware CPU, or Microsoft, Google, etc. in the software, the entire computer industry supported Uncle Sam with a huge sky.

However, with the emergence of virtual machines and virtual worlds, the traditional Internet has gradually transitioned and developed into the virtual world, and the entire virtual industry-related fields are basically occupied by Chinese companies.

Uncle Sam's Internet industry has been devastated, and almost all companies in related fields are surviving and no longer as brilliant as they once were.

Under this trend, if you want to win the Chinese people, you have to learn Chinese. The same learning Chinese is also an option to add points to yourself. Just like when we learned English before, people who are good in English have more advantages in terms of employment. Advantage.

Now here, people who are good in Chinese are also very advantageous in terms of employment. After all, the whole world has been shrouded in the huge figure of Huaxia.

Liu Daoming and Xie Linlin, who were on the side, watched silently and did not disturb their study. After half an hour, Zhao Ziqing noticed the two of them, and the class had already ended.

"That's it for today's class. After you go back, remember to watch Huaxia TV and listen to the Voice of China. Learning Chinese is actually not difficult. The key is to listen and use it more often."

Zhao Ziqing smiled and announced the get out of class to everyone. In fact, this kind of class is organized by Chinese lovers in private. Zhao Ziqing does not get any compensation, but he likes to teach everyone, because when teaching Chinese, there is always a kind of Inexplicable sense of achievement.

"Hello, do you want to learn Chinese too?"

After class, Zhao Ziqing also came to Xie Linlin and Liu Daoming, and asked in fluent English, he thought they were students from Japan or South Korea.

"No, we just came from Huaxia. We were very curious when we saw that you were teaching Chinese, so we came over to have a look."

Liu Daoming smiled Yaoyao's head and replied in Chinese.

"It turned out to be a fellow. My name is Zhao Ziqing. I used to be from Imperial University in China. Now I am studying here. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Zhao Ziqing smiled and stretched out his hand.

"My name is Liu Daoming, this is my girlfriend Xie Linlin, and the two of us are from Galaxy University of Science and Technology."

Liu Daoming also smiled and shook hands with each other, and introduced himself and Xie Linlin.

"Galaxy University of Science and Technology? Liu Daoming?"

"You're the guy who published the AIDS research paper in Nature?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ziqing raised his eyebrows and couldn't help asking.

"I published a paper on AIDS in Nature."

Liu Daoming said with a smile.

"You're amazing. Undergraduates have been able to publish papers in nature. It's really admirable."

Zhao Ziqing looked at Liu Daoming with admiration and said.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with that. The main reason is that the school has laboratories in space and on the moon. I just conducted some experiments in a low-gravity and micro-gravity environment, and I just made some new discoveries."

Liu Daoming smiled and shook his head, very modest.

"It seems that Chinese is very popular here?"

After thinking about it, Liu Daoming shifted the topic to what he just saw.

"It's not just popular, it's very popular."

"The Hantang Club in the school is one of the largest social organizations in the school. There are many people learning Chinese. There are dozens of volunteers like me who teach Chinese."

Zhao Ziqing nodded and said.

"I heard that Chinese is very popular all over the world, but I didn't expect it to be so popular here."

After listening to Liu Daoming, he said thoughtfully.
