05736 - The function of language is to convey information

Mei Shuanli was very calm when she posted on Zongwen.com. She used her real name and did not wear a vest. Of course, Mei Dada has always been so calm, but the readers of the Federation seem to be less calm than the monks of the main world, so whenever Mei Whenever Shuan Li announces his name to others, there will be a crowd of onlookers.

Of course, this may also be because the Federation has too little contact with Mei Shuanli. After all, monks in the main world have been familiar with Mei Shuanli's style for hundreds of years. Say hello with a smile, ask about the progress of the new work, and you won't be surprised just because you see him.As a monk, it is normal to see anyone anywhere.

Some scholars contacted Mei Shuanli and wanted to cooperate with him in the compilation of historical books.It is difficult to improve readability while ensuring historical rigor, and Mei Shuanli has already shown his superb talent in this regard.

Mei Shuanli could only decline politely: "Sorry, I'm not really interested in history, I just happen to be interested in the few points I wrote, and then I did some research on these points. If you want me to follow along I can't do the timeline to sort out the whole history and dig out every interesting point. I can only be regarded as a selective history buff."

Scholars had no choice but to give up. After all, the matter of interest cannot be forced, and it is easy to have the opposite effect if forced too hard.But they still asked Mei Shuanli to contact them if she became more interested in the future, and took some papers for Mei Shuanli to read, and it is best to give some suggestions for revision.

A young scholar pointed to his own article and said: "When I first learned history, I was fascinated by the magnificence in history. I really hope to pass on my fascination to other people. Not only in our small historical circle It’s not about sharing feelings, but it allows people who are not very interested in history to say ‘this is awesome’ when they see a certain point or two.”

Mei Shuanli: "Most of the time, technical terms are meant for professionals. Technical terms mean conciseness and precision, which can improve the efficiency of communication between professionals. However, when the audience is non-professionals, they do not understand technical terms. In this case, these words have no effect of conveying information, in fact, they have lost the most basic function of language and have no utterance value. "

Mei Shuanli: "The function of language is to convey information, and the priority is to let the other party understand."

Mei Shuanli: "So when writing an article, you have to consider who is reading your article. If you are a professional like you, then you can use professional terms, and a few lines may express what you want to express. It is clear, the other party understands, and you also resonate; if the reader is a layman, then you have to speak more, turn a few lines into several chapters, and be careful not to use another term when explaining a technical term. A bunch of technical terms, use everyday language."

05737-point to end

Mei Shuanli: "Always remember the purpose of your writing. Is it to exchange cutting-edge discoveries with colleagues? To teach children to know apples and pears? To refute the nonsense of the gangster? Different objects, different writing methods."

Mei Shuanli: "Since you want laymen to understand your feelings about history, you might as well put aside your historical knowledge and think about your feelings. From the touch of slight waves to the touch of tears, you Sort out your emotions, and then find the corresponding historical events or objects for each emotion, and start from the emotion to narrate history.”

Mei Shuanli: "Don't think that this kind of process may distort the objectivity of history. In fact, there is no completely objective history. The history you see is always the history in your eyes, and the history recorded by the predecessors is also the one who The image written by the predecessors. Tell the history in your eyes, that's it."

Mei Shuanli: "In addition, unprofessional words do not mean inaccurate or wrong, but you may need to spend more sentences to describe them. For example, if I describe space-time worms to people who don't know worms, then I have to start with worms. Talk. Pay attention, when you talk, you have to think clearly about what the other party wants to hear. Worms have a lot of content. What the other party wants to know is the attack power? Taste? Information is the same as not saying, just say a little bit at a time, click as far as you can, and continue next time.”

Later, there were too many people who contacted Mei Shuanli, and Mei Shuanli couldn't read all the private letters sent through Zongwen.com every day, so Mei Shuanli had to post an announcement in his Zongwen. Many, I will not check again in the future, and the optical brain communication is switched to not accepting strangers' messages.

Many people were furious: "Then how can I contact you?"

Mei Shuanli: "Why do you contact me? I am the only one who writes articles. I will post new articles when you read them. If you are interested in reading them, you can communicate on your own. Why do you have to tell me? I won't follow your advice. The feedback revises my article."

"There is also a matter of contact and cooperation."

Mei Shuanli: "Not cooperative. Busy."

It seemed particularly cold and ruthless.

But busy is real.

Be busy and be a good bounty hunter.

05738 - Bounty Hunter

Bounty hunters are a regular profession in the Federation. Every bounty hunter and hunter team needs to be registered, and must complete a certain amount of entrustment every year, otherwise they will be disqualified.

There are many types of commissions for bounty hunters, even looking for cats and dogs to send children to school, but the most important ones are related to bugs.Including hunting specific bug parts, escorting the research team to find certain bugs, and detecting the movement of bug swarms... In short, there are many mobile and small-scale activities that require high combat effectiveness and professional experience but are not suitable for the army to do. dangerous thing.

Why is such a professional talent entrusted to find cats and dogs?Professionals don’t always stay in dangerous places. They sometimes return to the bustling city to live for a while, and then encounter situations where some people need help. Out of excuses or jokes, they say, “I’m a bounty hunter. If you ask me for help, you have to pay.” Some people transfer money neatly, “This is an advance payment, and I will pay the balance after I find my cat safely and quickly.”

Bounty Hunter: "..." All right, for the sake of money.Finding cats is at least much safer than killing insects.

Bounty hunters have an official website. All bounty hunters have a hunter account on the website from registration to hunter cancellation. Non-hunters who log in to the website have client accounts—hunter accounts can accept commissions or download. Delegate, while the delegator account can only place a commission but not accept it.

All federal citizens and organizations can submit entrustments on the bounty hunter website. After the review is passed, they will be published and pushed according to the entrustment requirements until a bounty hunter accepts the entrustment or the entrustment is revoked.Entrustment requirements can include: designate a hunter of a certain level, designate a certain hunter, require the receiver to have certain characteristics, the entrustment reward will not be higher than a certain value, the entrustment deadline...any legal request can be made.

As for whether there are qualified hunters to pick it up, it's another matter.Due to the unreasonable setting of conditions, the client has to give up the commission every day.After the entrustment is posted, you need to pay a handling fee, and you will pay an extra day for each additional day of entrustment. If you do not continue to pay, the entrustment will be automatically cancelled.

The number of entrusted items received, the amount of entrusted fees, the types and quantities of hunting insects, etc., are all parameters for rating a hunter. From the zero-level hunter who has just registered and has not completed anything, to the most powerful seventh-level hunter, each The grades represent the order of magnitude difference in record.Among them, hunting insects is the parameter that has the greatest impact on the rating.

There are some long-term missions on the bounty hunter website, anyone can pick them up at any time, there is no upper limit for the number of pick-ups, these are mainly insect killing and exploration.The former is based on the complete worm corpse or the key parts of the worm body, and the number of submissions counts as how many times it is completed; the latter is mostly to explore the distribution of worms, which involves verification issues. There is no special person to verify, but it is treated as The information is stored and put into the database for retrieval. Later, when other individuals or organizations use it and give evaluations of "useful" and "truthful", and the number of evaluations is greater than ten, the explorer will be paid.So relatively speaking, bounty hunters prefer the former type of tasks, the risk is not necessarily higher than the latter type, and the rewards are paid in a timely manner.

05739-Official Organization

The bounty hunter website has offices all over the place, and there will be multiple offices in larger cities to deal with physical issues.These offices and their upper-level and higher-level management agencies constitute an extremely large management network, covering the entire Federation.

In addition to this official organization on the surface, bounty hunters also have underground organizations.

The missions of official organizations usually consider the mortality rate in daily life. If the mission is too dangerous, the client will be asked to ask the military for help. At the same time, some precious insect materials will be given priority to official research institutions and will not be handed over to individuals. Even if individuals publish It will not pass the review of this type of task.

There are no restrictions on underground organizations, and there are a lot of entrustments that are desperate and do not follow the principle of official priority.The officials actually knew about the existence of the underground organization, but they only limited their scale, but did not completely eradicate it, because some officials who desperately commissioned and actually gave advice also knew that the army could not be dispatched immediately after knowing the situation, and some precious materials ... Sometimes only a little water can be released to prevent some people from making more aggressive actions.

The underground hunter organization is not a real-name system, and it does not log in through the optical brain. It seems to be a recommendation system. Newcomers need to be recommended by the old people to join. I don’t know how to contact them after joining, but General Tao seems to know.

Admiral Tao: "Hunters who can get along well in official organizations don't need to go to underground organizations. Including those commissions that are not allowed on the surface, in fact, the client can contact the hunter through private messages to explain the situation, and then the two will deal alone. Although the content of the private letter In fact, the Hunter.com official can find out, but they often turn a blind eye to it. As long as it is not discussing the stupid thing of bringing worms to attack the Federation, other things are not completely unacceptable.”

Me: "Contact by private message... Are most hunters' private messages open? Maybe all the famous ones are closed?"

The private message function of most real-name websites is turned on by default, and most people also keep this status, which is convenient for communicating with netizens with the same interests. , which is equivalent to closing it, or directly closing the private messages of strangers, leaving only the private messages of friends.
