The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System

Chapter 308 Standardization of Writing is Underway

Tang You's brain raced, and she asked urgently, "What do you mean by 'a small patch'? A small leaf? Or did you plant a small patch?"

Even if only a small patch of leaves has grown, it can mean that crops have survived, but this is completely different from planting a small piece of land!

Professor Li's smile grew even brighter: "Of course, we planted a small plot of land. We planted a small plot of land for each type of crop, and they all survived. We planted seven kinds in total, on seven plots of land!"

She knew what her young friends cared about most, so she went to great lengths and repeated herself, explaining things in great detail, to the point of being verbose.

However, no one complained that she was long-winded; everyone enjoyed listening to her and especially liked her detailed explanations.

Ruan Mianmian and Tang You exchanged glances, then jumped up happily and cheered!

Seeing their excitement, Professor Li smiled and said, "Children, we've completed our mission, we can go back now!"

Upon hearing this, Tang You and the others cheered again and hugged each other.

Ruan Mianmian had been worried before, so she joined in the hug.

Indeed, they have completed their mission, and when the time comes, they can return to their original plane and their homeland.

No matter how similar this place may seem, it is ultimately not the hometown where they grew up.

When Professor Zhao and the others returned and heard the news, they were extremely excited and immediately decided to have a barbecue party that night.

The next day, everyone overslept and had to call to ask for leave.

With her return date fast approaching, Ruan Mianmian completed the handover process with her various project teams, preparing to take a few days off to rest and also to see the world.

She only looked at the border last time and doesn't know anything else.

I still vividly remember him, having just arrived and full of ambition, saying he would help the East University of this dimension unify the world. But now he has to leave.

It's time to check on the progress.

Although she knew it was impossible to do it in six months, she still felt quite melancholy as she was about to leave.

After handing over the project, Ruan Mianmian found Yuan Zhiling and asked about the current status of their connections with various countries.

She could have easily found the top leader; given her status, she could have. But there's really no need to bother the top leader with such a small matter.

Yuan Zhiling's handsome face showed even more determination than before. When he saw Ruan Mianmian, his eyes brightened considerably, then became incredibly deep.

After listening to Ruan Mianmian's question, he sighed and said, "The losses of all countries are heavy. The number of people who survived in all countries combined is less than one-fifth of the number who survived in our country. One natural disaster after another took away many people. The governments of various countries were not able to organize to deal with everything. Numerous non-governmental organizations acted independently and killed each other, so many people died."

He paused here and said in a deep voice, "This is a disaster for all mankind."

Ruan Mianmian was utterly shocked.

Tokyo University also suffered heavy losses in the various disasters of the end times, with only about 4.6 million people surviving nationwide.

Excluding the University of Tokyo, the global population is approximately 66 billion.

Yuan Zhiling said that the number of survivors in other countries is less than one-fifth of the number of survivors at Tokyo University. In other words, out of 66 billion people, only about 9200 million remain!

This number is terrifying!

Ruan Mianmian considered herself worldly-wise, but even she found it hard to accept this terrifying number.

Yuan Zhiling noticed the shock and fear in Ruan Mianmian's eyes, so he softened his voice: "If the countries organized themselves, more people would survive. However, they lack a cohesive and credible government; everyone is only thinking of themselves, so..."

Even though he had once dreamed of Tokyo University unifying the world and ruling the globe, he was still saddened by the terrifying number of survivors.

Because they are all living, breathing people.

Ruan Mianmian remained silent for a long while before asking, "How much has the land area decreased?"

"Actually, the reduction wasn't that significant, because some land was submerged and some seabed rose up and became land," Yuan Zhiling said softly. "The main reasons for the large number of people lost are natural disasters and man-made calamities."

Ruan Mianmian sighed deeply and said softly, "Those who survived overseas all have lives on their hands, and most of them are extremely vicious. Our Dongda University wouldn't make a deal with them, would it?"

Yuan Zhiling looked at Ruan Mianmian, his voice gentler than usual, and said:

“More than three months ago, they came from the west to invade us several times, but we wiped them out each time. Since then, no force has dared to provoke us. However, every now and then, a few people come and ask to join us, but we haven’t agreed. Who knows if they are from those evil forces? Our Dongda University has finally had a few days of peace, so we can’t let our guard down.”

The girl in front of me is ambitious, yet she also expresses regret for the passing of life; she is a very good girl.

Ruan Mianmian nodded: "That's good."

Seeing that the atmosphere remained somewhat somber, Yuan Zhiling said in a light tone, "The plan you mentioned before, although it hasn't been realized yet, has some good news."

"What good news?" Ruan Mianmian asked curiously.

Yuan Zhiling said with a smile, "Currently, everyone who comes here to work can use the Dongda language fluently, and their writing is basically also good. I heard that those forces in the west are also burying themselves in learning the Dongda language. Other things may still be far away, but the standardization of writing may be very, very close."

"This is really good news," Ruan Mianmian said happily.

The University of Tokyo has performed brilliantly in this terrible disaster. Not to mention its gradually recovering industrial capacity, the fact that it still has 4.6 million people is something that other countries can only look up to.

Such alarming population figures, coupled with the gradual recovery of industrial capacity, make them an awe-inspiring presence for all the devastated and already broken nations.

They all knew very well that they would need to look up to this country in the future.

If things stabilize in the future, and the University of Tokyo becomes less wary of them and is willing to open its labor market, then their competitiveness will rise sharply, given their fluency in the University of Tokyo's language and writing system.

Therefore, everyone is willing to learn the language of Tokyo University.

This demonstrates the terrifying radiation and assimilation capabilities of a powerful civilization.

Ruan Mianmian was extremely excited at the thought that countries all over the world would speak Dongda's language.

However, suppressing her excitement and elation, she asked Yuan Zhiling, "There will always be thieves in this world. What if they learn our Dongda language and writing system and then claim it as their own writing system after time has passed? Have you thought about how to deal with that?"

“They won’t have that chance.” Yuan Zhiling said, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. “If anything goes wrong, 9200 million people isn’t actually that many.”

Ruan Mianmian was stunned for a moment before she understood what Yuan Zhiling meant.

She felt a little hard to accept, but strangely, she also felt that it was the right thing to do.

Yuan Zhiling then went on to describe in detail how migrant workers from various countries admired Dongdaguo, her tone filled with emotion: "My grandparents used to speak of America in a similar tone. I never imagined that after so many years, it would be the turn of various countries to say the same thing about us."
