In fact, he never thought that players could independently create a writing system and language system, because even professional linguists may not be able to do this well.

What he hopes is that through this link, players can have a full understanding of their own country's language system, and can transform from simply applying their own language system to an in-depth understanding of their own language system.

Only by deeply understanding your own language system can you transplant your own language system into the game and teach the ignorant tribesmen to learn.

If you only know a little bit about it, then it would be unprofessional to teach the clansmen. If you want to rely on the natural development and improvement of the clans in the game, it will take a long time.

Although the gap here may seem small, in fact it is not the case. The more complete a civilization's language system is, the more it can contribute to the development of the ethnic group, and as time goes by, the gap will become larger and larger.

Intermediate artificial intelligence did not choose to create a language system, but showed the audience how to introduce its own language system into the game and complete the civilized enlightenment operation for the game group.

In the past, many players who had explored on their own had mostly chosen this path, but the effect was not as good as they imagined. It was not like in previous games where you could learn it immediately by just introducing clan members.

In this game, cultural learning also takes a long time, and there is no immediate sense of gain. Moreover, the less clear the language system, the less efficient it is and the more difficult it is to learn.

Intermediate artificial intelligence shows the audience in detail how to clearly introduce their own language system into the game. This process demonstrates a large amount of linguistic knowledge and sorts out my country's language system in detail.

It can be said that the audience watching this process has a relatively complete understanding of our country's language system, and their knowledge reserves have increased a lot in an instant, making many people feel that their cultural heritage has been sublimated.

Of course, watching it once and learning it are two different things. When I saw the operation of intermediate artificial intelligence, I felt that the thinking was clear and the explanation was eloquent. Everything seemed to be arranged by God. It was just right and fully reflected the beauty of language and words.

But when I followed this idea, I found that my brain was not enough. Resilient people naturally worked hard and began to carefully study knowledge related to the language and writing system.

According to data from Tianwen Book Club, during this time period, their professional books related to language and characters sold particularly well, and the borrowing volume of related books from Tianwen Library also increased sharply.

This shows that quite a few people are starting to take this matter seriously, instead of giving up when they find it difficult and continuing to play around in the game, which will not make much progress.

Of course, if you don't have your own language system, the game can continue to be played, but as the number of ethnic groups increases, there will be problems with the overall efficiency.

The most important thing is that if there is no language to inject soul into the group, as the group grows, internal strife will inevitably occur, and it will be unclear whether the players can control the situation.

Compared with the mid-level artificial intelligence, which is quite satisfactory, the three of them always don't like to take the usual path when playing, but want to be unconventional and look for another possibility.

It is precisely because of this style that there are so many viewers watching Zhou Jinyu play games in her live broadcast room. She is no longer limited to the old fans before, and many new viewers have gradually become her fans.

Although their gameplay is not as detailed as mid-level artificial intelligence, there is still a huge gap between them and other game anchors, making their style unique.

Other game anchors were accustomed to playing ordinary games before. Games like this that require wisdom and knowledge are no different from ordinary players. Some game anchors even stopped playing and had to play again. The original game.

Three of them, highly intelligent people, gathered together and determined the framework of the new language system based on the simple pronunciation of their own species in the game.

Then we began to use new language frameworks to describe the affairs that occurred in daily life, fill in the new language frameworks, and gradually enrich the entire system.

As the description of specific things gradually improved, they began to describe abstract things, and at the same time they also began to try to describe feelings, touch and other feelings.

This process may be very difficult for others, but for the three of them, it is not too difficult, especially Zhao Yi himself has specialized research on this. After all, when writing undergraduate textbooks, he needed to master knowledge in this area.

As Zhou Jinyu has been engaged in the education industry for many years, her research on language is not something ordinary people can achieve. More importantly, her efficiency in using new language systems to teach ethnic groups is much higher than that of ordinary people.

With language in hand, they next need to establish a social management system. In fact, many experiences in the development of our civilization can be used for reference.

For example, the wizard system and the religious system are the easiest to implement and the most effective when productivity is low, because this system has the lowest number of salary earners and the support system is very simple.

After the ethnic group grows in size, it will be necessary to start waging wars with foreign countries, which will produce a large number of captives. However, due to the productivity conditions at the time, it is impossible for these captives to just be locked up and raised.

Therefore, the slavery system will inevitably emerge, and the captives will be exploited as slaves, which will further improve the living conditions of the people of the same ethnic group, so that there will be more surplus value to support the salary earners.

This will result in a more complex social management system, and even a small number of troops dedicated to maintaining tribal security, as well as a larger number of officials dedicated to managing society.

The breakthrough in farming technology is a leap in civilization, which means that ethnic groups no longer simply ask for help from nature, but use certain technologies to consciously cultivate agricultural products that meet their needs.

At this time, the land available for cultivation became particularly important, and was even the foundation of the ethnic group's life. At this time, the feudal system naturally appeared.

The so-called feudal system is the enfeoffment of land. Having land means that more people can be fed, which means that they can develop and grow and have enough ability to protect the safety of the ethnic group.

Therefore, what system to implement is not determined by one's own consciousness, but by the technical level at that time. That is, productivity determines production relations, not production relations determine productivity.

Just like the emergence of the current capitalist system, it is because the relationship between human development and land is not so close, and technological breakthroughs have caused the supply of commodities brought by agriculture to appear backward.

Therefore, money is the leader in production relations and has the role of organizing and controlling production relations. This is why the arrival of the industrial age is inevitably accompanied by the emergence of capitalism.

As for communism, the real realization must no longer be based on the exploitation of human labor, but through technological breakthroughs, so that humans can achieve abundant material requirements without the need to exploit humans.

Therefore, he believes that the emergence of robots from Xuantian Technology Company is a huge social change and a basic condition for the realization of communism. Only the emergence of robots can get rid of the situation of human exploitation of human beings.

Before robots can completely replace human work, whether it is socialism or communism, they will actually remain on the basis of ideas, and in essence they still cannot get rid of the shadow of capitalism.

In his opinion, such socialism or communism cannot be regarded as true socialism or communism, because there is still the nature of exploitation among the same ethnic groups.

As for the model described by Marx in which workers produce and consume by themselves, that is, workers are the masters of the country, it is very difficult to turn theory into reality because they ignore human nature.

Human nature is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, to enjoy leisure and avoid work. They all want to use some means to easily steal the fruits of other people's labor, so that they can live a prosperous life.

Not everyone is a saint and thinks that it is enough to maintain their basic life. People's desires will drive them to want a better life than others.

But the absolute productivity of human beings is certain, because the limitations of science and technology are there, and they will not change depending on where you are.

Therefore, there will be income gaps in society, and not all income gaps are the result of labor harvest, but stolen from other workers through certain means.

The communism in his eyes is not egalitarianism, but on the basis of taking into account social stability, it tries to embody the principle that workers enjoy the fruits of labor, and realizes a distribution method in which more work is more and less work is less.

That’s why he introduced the off-duty basic salary system. This is to maintain the overall stability of society. On top of the off-duty basic salary, the distribution principle of “more work, more gain, less work, less gain” will be implemented.

Specific to the game, after the language system is invented, the next step is how to preserve this language system within the community. This is the next problem that players need to face.

In the stage of low productivity, it is certainly not possible to set up schools specifically for teaching as now, because productivity cannot support the consumption of so many non-working groups.

There were also some players who didn't take this into consideration at all and hurriedly started to establish institutions dedicated to teaching knowledge. As a result, it didn't take long for the tribe to face a survival dilemma.

Some ethnic groups even directly killed the people who formulated the policy because they were dissatisfied with such a policy. In this way, some players paid the price with their lives because of their assumptions.

As people with high IQs, the three of them would never make such stupid mistakes, so after the language system came out, they had no intention of teaching the people on a large scale.

Instead, in the process of daily life and work with the tribesmen, they constantly strengthen the language part, trying to perfect the oral language system first, and then subtly teach it to the tribesmen in daily life.

Because the spoken language system is the most frequently used part in daily life, when teaching this part of the content, no specific work time is wasted at all, and production efficiency will not be affected.

Not only will it not affect production efficiency, but the improvement of language skills will lead to improvement of communication skills, which can improve hunting efficiency during the hunting process, allowing the tribe to further develop and grow.

After having an effective communication language, you can then teach simple natural science applications to the tribesmen. The applications at this stage should not be too complicated, and try to allow the tribesmen to understand them through language.

Of course, the simplest and most direct way is to demonstrate it to the tribesmen, and then spread the technology through the tribesmen who have learned it, so as to achieve the purpose of promoting the technology.

In this process, Zhou Jinyu was responsible for teaching the language to the tribe, because she was relatively professional in this matter and served as the teacher. Lin Hexia managed the affairs of the tribe and served as the leader of the tribe.

Zhao Yiyi is very proficient in technological matters, so he plays the role of a wizard in the tribe, because he can treat injured tribesmen, which is a necessary skill for a wizard.

In addition, he also improved the production tools of the current tribe. For example, in the past, the tribe simply used stone axes or sharpened wooden sticks for hunting.

Through technological improvements, he could make stone axes sharper or improve the efficiency of making stone axes. He also introduced bow and arrow making technology, which greatly improved hunting efficiency.

Through the introduction of these various technologies, the production efficiency of the tribe has been greatly improved, and the number of people that the tribe can maintain has increased significantly. Coupled with the excellent medical skills, the number of tribesmen who died has been significantly reduced.

So after a period of time, the population of their group grew very fast and began to expand its territory to the surrounding areas. After all, with a large population, the territory needed for hunting would increase.

In the process, he has also been looking for plants that can be used for agricultural cultivation and ores that can be smelted. Only when these two are solved can it be possible to evolve from the current simple hunting civilization to an agricultural civilization.

He obviously would not go hunting with his tribe every time and then check the surrounding crops, because this was too inefficient, so he asked those who went out to hunt to collect plant samples or seeds as much as possible, and they could also use the surrounding stones to be different from ordinary stones. bring back.

He would stay at the tribe's residence every day to analyze the plants or stones he brought back, and then classify the plants he thought could be used as food. Those with seeds would try to plant them.

Classify the stones that are considered to be ores. If you can smelt them, try to smelt them. If you can't, just pile them up and use them as reserves. In the future, you can smelt them again after the smelting technology is improved.

In fact, it is very difficult to discover useful minerals and plants simply relying on a residential area, unless you are lucky, so there is not much gain in this aspect in the early stage.

Later, as the group continued to grow, it was necessary to live dispersedly, because this could effectively expand the hunting range and obtain more food, and population spread was inevitable.

For the spread of the population, there must be three positions, that is, they hold three positions, wizard, master and leader. Only when these three people are matched can they be able to independently establish a new tribe.

These three positions are all taught by three of them individually, usually using the master-student teaching model. At first, due to low productivity, each person could only have one such student.

After the hunting tools were improved and new ones were released, the hunting efficiency was greatly improved than before, so there were more "idlers" to support, and later each person would bring two or three.

Although this knowledge is very simple for the three of them, it is not so easy for students to master this knowledge. They need to demonstrate it personally every time they have the opportunity and simply tell them the principles.

As for more advanced knowledge, it is difficult for them to understand it. Unless they start from a very basic level and teach it slowly and step by step, it is impossible to understand it thoroughly.

However, it is difficult for hunting civilization to achieve this, because the cost of such training is very high. Our compulsory education requires 12 years, not to mention that in this era, we simply cannot afford the cost of detailed training.

So the things they teach are relatively superficial. If you can understand it, just understand it. If you can't understand it, just follow it. Only with this training model can we have enough talents to go out and establish our own tribe independently.

Since the three highest positions in the tribe are his students, after going out independently, he will also follow his suggestions to collect information about ores or plants and send personnel to deliver them regularly.

In order to increase the cohesion of the separated tribes and avoid estrangement over time, he designed the tribal totem. He did not stand out in this regard and directly designed the image of our Chinese totem dragon.

Having the same totem means that they are members of their own clan. When facing a common foreign enemy, they can deal with the outside world in unison, which makes it easier to maintain the reproduction of the clan.

Especially when the tribe expands outward, the danger is actually very high, even higher than the danger of our exploration of the universe, so unity and mutual assistance are a necessary condition for survival.

There are also some players who did not take this into consideration. In order to find more resources, they hurriedly sent their tribesmen to explore, but most of them never returned.

This can seriously lead to a decline in the strength of the tribe, or even serious consequences of being directly driven out by the tribe, making it impossible for a person to survive outside, and eventually being wiped out by wild beasts or other dangers.

As time went by, they finally found plant fibers that could be used to make clothes, so Zhao Yi began to teach the women in the tribe how to make clothes. From then on, everyone was freed from the fate of wearing leaf clothes.

Compared with leaves, clothes made of plant fibers are not only better at keeping warm, but also more flexible in movement. They can also further prevent the occurrence of diseases caused by bites of poisonous insects.

In addition to plant fibers, there are also clothes and shoes made of animal skins and hair. Anyway, Zhao Yi carefully uses everything that can be used and then teaches it to the people of the tribe.

After they played this game for half a month, one of the separated tribes finally discovered the ore he wanted, which was copper ore, which completed a condition for smelting bronze.

If you want to smelt bronze, you also need tin ore. Pure copper cannot be used to make weapons. However, the copper element is not very active and can easily be reduced to simple copper. This is why bronze appeared earlier than iron in history.

In addition to being easily reduced to metal elements, copper has a lower melting point than iron, which lowers the requirements for smelting. However, in his case, the two have little to do with each other.

The melting point needed to make iron is not much higher than that of copper. All you need to do is make a bellows and increase the temperature of the flame. So he doesn't necessarily have to refine bronze first and then produce ironware, just use whatever is available.

However, copper metal is very suitable for making utensils because it is soft, while iron, especially pig iron, is brittle and hard, so it can basically only be made into utensils by casting. Each has its own use.

On the 20th day of playing the game, they finally found a tin mine. It was found by another tribe that branched off. However, with the current productivity, the amount of mining was relatively small.

However, with the bronze weapons, the efficiency of hunting has been greatly improved, so he first refined some bronze weapons for the people of his tribe to use, and then salted the extra food they hunted for preservation.

These preserved preserved meats are then used to trade ores with the separated tribes, so that other tribes can allocate some manpower to mine minerals.

After this incident, other tribes discovered that the stones on the ground could be exchanged for food, so they became much more enthusiastic about prospecting.

Moreover, this kind of transaction resulted in simple trade. In order to further share the resources of various tribes, Zhao Yi also developed a set of trade product catalogs, which would be updated every time there was a trade.

Some of them will have patterns, and some can only be described in words. As for the items that record these languages, they are animal skin paper. At present, they are not in the mood to make plant fiber paper.

It can be said that the civilization developed by the three of them is the first among all players to reach the bronze civilization stage. Most of the other players are still communicating and cooperating with the ignorant tribesmen, without even a hint of civilization.

The tribe where the intermediate artificial intelligence belongs is also developing much faster than other tribes. However, because the explanation to the audience is very detailed and takes a lot of time, the development speed is still not as fast as the three of them.

When Zhao Yi was not presiding over the daily affairs of the tribe, he would slowly start to write books and write down some knowledge on sheepskins, and then begin to spread this knowledge to other tribes that were separated.

The reason for doing this is to prevent the tribe from becoming too large in the future, making communication difficult, and slowly forming cultural gaps. In order to maintain the civilization of the entire tribe, he must use these words as a link to maintain the relationship between the tribes. .

If you don't do this, the tribes around the central tribe may be close to each other and communicate more frequently. They may know the power of the central tribe and have their own roots.

But as you move toward the periphery, there will be less and less communication with the central tribe, and there may even be no communication at all. If there is no bond to maintain it, the tribe will become a completely unfamiliar tribe in the future, and there may even be serious internal fighting, which will bring huge consequences. loss.

At present, the population of ethnic groups is not saturated relative to the natural resources. It is necessary to maintain the growth of the total number of tribes, continue to expand outward, and occupy more resources.

However, in the process of expansion, other strange tribes will inevitably appear. If you can conquer them, conquer them, and teach them some knowledge to increase their sense of identity.

If they cannot be conquered, they will either be driven away or become slaves. In the process of foreign war, the cooperation of the surrounding tribes is needed, so the central tribe began to enfeoff the second-level tribes outside and have unified command over the surrounding tribes.

This kind of enfeoffment is also a test for players. The enfeoffed tribe must be recognized by other tribes. Otherwise, such enfeoffment will be very unstable and may cause internal strife.

It can be said that if you want to play this game well, you need to learn a lot. This is just the primitive tribal stage, the mentality is relatively simple, and the technology involved is not particularly complicated.

For example, when making pottery, you only need to search the Internet to get relatively detailed information. As for porcelain, forget about it in this era. It is impossible to reach the temperature for firing porcelain, and there is no suitable soil and materials. (End of chapter)
