Voyage of the Stars

Oh, Yue Yuan understood now.

It was talking about communication problems caused by changes in the language environment, but at the moment he didn't think this was anything serious, and even thought it was normal. After all, language and culture are always changing.

This has always been the case, otherwise there would be no ancient Chinese and modern Chinese.

The linguist continued: "I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, thinking it was a normal phenomenon of language, cultural changes and social and cultural evolution. But as time goes by, I find that this phenomenon is getting more and more serious."

"So when I woke up from hibernation and was on duty, I discussed the matter with Dr. Lu Xiaofen, who was also on duty at the time. Finally, we came to the conclusion that this matter was serious."

“But due to insufficient data and the fact that when the Hope was on a major voyage, almost all departments were in a dormant state, so we just wrote this down and slowly accumulated observation data in the future.

After the big voyage, Dr. Lu Xiaofen and I, together with other colleagues, began to conduct a comprehensive investigation of this phenomenon and find solutions. "

Yue Yuan interrupted: "In other words, the solution you found? By the way, you said this matter is serious, how serious is it? Shouldn't this be a normal phenomenon?"

"Yes, I think we found a solution. As for how serious it is." The linguist hesitated for a moment, then looked back at Yi Kai.

Yi Kai understood and immediately said: "Commander, Yinwu YYDS."

Yue Yuan:? ? ?

"What did you say? Say it again!"

Looking at Yue Yuan who looked puzzled, Yi Kai said again word by word: "Chief, Silver Mist YYDS"

"Yinwu what?" Yue Yuan frowned and stood up and walked towards Yi Kai.

"YYDS" Yi Kai spread his hands.

At this moment, Yue Yuan realized what the problem was, because he really couldn't understand.

"What does YYDS mean? Do people on board Hope talk like this now?" Yue Yuan came to sit on the sofa in front of Yi Kai, and then waved to the linguist just now, motioning for him to sit down and talk too.

"In my time, these four letters used to mean 'Eternal God.'" Yi Kai had a look of reminiscence on his face, as if he was recalling the catchphrases of his youth.

"The eternal god of Silver Mist?" Yue Yuan frowned. He felt that although Silver Mist was very powerful and contained technological strength that made humans despair, after all, it was the murderer who killed the landing personnel. It cannot be said that he was the one who killed the landing personnel. 'Eternal God'!

And this sentence doesn’t make sense. If that’s what it means, we should add ‘yes’ to make it make sense.

"No, sir, that's what it meant in the past, what it meant in the mainstream context of society when I was young." Yi Kai shook his head, his words carrying the meaning of remembering the past, but after saying this, he continued He said in a deep voice: "But now, it means 'same death'. Silver Mist has the same death! This is a word that appears in people's conversations on the Hope. Does Mr. Chang know? In fact, this is just the iceberg of this type of language. A corner."

Yue Yuan already knew what Yi Kai meant, but this kind of thing was very difficult to handle, so he thought for a moment and said: "But. This phenomenon should be a normal evolution of oral communication. You can't stop people from talking, right? Even if Today we have used public opinion to stop 'YYDS', and tomorrow 'xswl' will pop up. Besides, if it only appears verbally in daily life, it will not rise to the level of 'undesirable development of human civilization in the future'!"

"Chief, it's more than just spoken words!" Lu Xiaofen, who had been silent, replied, "And from a long-term perspective, this matter has indeed affected human civilization. Just imagine, if a person hibernates, let's say he hibernates for two hundred years. , and then he wakes up and finds that he cannot understand what others are saying at all, then he will definitely feel alienated from society,

But we are now in the interstellar age, and hibernation must be the norm. In the long run, society will have a cultural fault line, and we will become internally unstable as a result."

? ? ?

Yue Yuan was startled. It seemed that this was really the case. Language is a tool for human communication. Once there is a problem with this tool, communication between humans will become unsmooth, and barriers will naturally arise.

Although people who wake up from hibernation can learn the environmental terms at that time again, these are not terms for new things that have emerged due to the progress of new science, but things that are not necessary to learn in the first place. There are too many things, and the cost of learning is also high. Just high.

Over time, people will find that after waking up from hibernation, it takes a long time to learn how to speak to communicate with others. In this way, after thousands of years of changes, it may be equivalent to learning another language.

And is there such a thing in official documents? Thinking this, he looked at Long Xiaolin.

Long Xiaolin thought for a while and seemed to be recollecting something: "Chief, there are some, but they are not 'yyds'. Normally, when letters are used instead of words, they are returned and rewritten during the review stage, so Chief Rarely seen”

"Bring me the proposal!" Yue Yuan understood the seriousness of this matter.

After hearing Yue Yuan's words, Long Xiaolin immediately imported the file storage in his hand into the tablet and handed it over.

"Several Draft Recommendations on Language Standards"

Taking the tablet from Long Xiaolin's hand, Yue Yuan saw the title of the proposal put forward by this group of linguistic experts.

Glancing at the title, Yue Yuan looked down at the content.

After looking at it for a while, Yue Yuan found that there was a lot in this proposal, and it was not entirely about letters replacing words. It is also very complicated, but the classification of each item is very clear. It must have taken a long time to sort it out before writing it.

Yue Yuan first took a general look and found that there were many entries for language and writing standards. These entries even went into detail about some signs involved in daily life.

For example, in terms of door plaques, this proposal stipulates that things with unclear meanings such as Ь∧KUT will not be allowed to appear on the door in the future. Also, if a store appears in the future, the transliteration of the word ‘Shiduo’ will no longer be allowed.

In fact, not only in terms of plaques, but also in terms of text, the proposal also made many suggestions for modifications.

Like many words and phrases that were previously banned on the Internet, the proposal proposes to open them all. The reason is that due to the needs of social development, human beings need more people. Even the Propaganda Department is promoting the charming wind, and some words cannot be used by the new government. It can be used, but private networks are not allowed to use it.

In addition, the proposal also recommends protecting the rigor of the Chinese language in legal form and restoring the original meaning of some words.

If this proposal is implemented in accordance with the proposal, then in the future, a bunch of words such as 'fuck', 'fuck', 'fuck', 'tah', etc. will return to people's minds in their original appearance. within the field of view and will not be blocked from communication on the Nozomi network.

The use of symbols and letters to express idioms or colloquialisms is strictly prohibited. Words like YYDS, TMD, TNND, CNM, qnmlgb, and nmsl that had to be replaced with letters due to blocked words or pretense are also allowed to have their original Chinese characters appear.

There are two reasons.

One: Protect the rigor and standardization of Chinese characters.

Two: Minimize language communication barriers caused by hibernation time differences.
