Chapter 3118 "Romantic" Wedding Season (Thirty-Eight)
"There are two in my room, what's wrong?"
"I want to take a cooking video, but if I hold my phone far away I won't be able to receive the sound. I'd like to borrow your microphone."
"No problem. It's in the second drawer of my bedside table. Just go get it... Oh, thank you for the gift from the fans. The doctor is going to shoot his own video. Let me tell you more about this irrigation system..."
After Schiller left, Ultron was still live streaming to fans in the fields, which made Schiller sigh that the Internet version changes every day.
However, we are not yet at the age of everyone bringing goods, and the current live broadcast format is still relatively simple, just starting a live broadcast and chatting with everyone...
Wait, what did Ultron just say? What was he going to introduce to the live audience?
Schiller felt that something was wrong. Shouldn't he be watching the daily lives of superheroes? Why was this guy going to the fields to introduce the irrigation system?
He wouldn't really be bringing goods, right?
Schiller came to Ultron's room and found the headphones in the drawer of his bedside table. There were also many other things he used for live streaming, including a mobile phone.
Schiller secretly opened the screen of his mobile phone. Of course, Ultron's mobile phone was locked and he couldn't open it, but a message with a familiar style appeared on the standby interface of the mobile phone.
Isn’t this WeChat?
Schiller had almost forgotten about this software. WeChat is not used for chatting in the United States, but there are software similar to WeChat. Different software are used for different user groups and age groups.
What surprised him even more was that the message sent via WeChat was in Chinese, and the sender was named "Xu Shangqi".
The message read, "Just follow the 5 days we agreed on before, the money has been transferred to you, don't forget to take the brand exposure photo shoot!"
Wow, Ultron is really promoting products, and he’s promoting them across borders.
If Schiller guessed correctly, what Ultron brought should be the "multi-functional field manager" mentioned earlier, which is a multi-functional irrigation system that combines irrigation, pest control and prevention of other diseases and pests.
Schiller thought about it carefully and felt that this thing was more suitable for American farmers than Chinese farmers.
The United States is full of large farms, and the farmers are richer. In order to improve production efficiency, they are willing to spend money. In addition, the land in the United States is relatively flat, which is very suitable for large-scale deployment of such equipment.
On the contrary, each Chinese farmer has relatively little land. The terrain in most areas of the south is complex and the farmlands are all on the mountains. There is a lack of conditions for large-scale farming. One person cannot use that little land, and the farmers themselves may not be willing to buy it.
Of course, some large farms in the north can still use it, but if it is purchased by the state, it probably won’t make much money. It would be good to export it and earn money from foreigners.
Unlike S.H.I.E.L.D., S.H.I.E.L.D. is not an international organization. It is a completely Chinese organization. It basically handles everything in China, including business matters.
However, the thinking of the Shenmao Bureau is quite flexible. They can think of finding a robot to sell goods. The robot selling goods machine is also professional. Who said that products cannot speak?
Schiller got the microphone and tried it out first. He found that the reception was very good, so he set up his mobile phone aside to record and then muttered into the microphone.
There is nothing interesting about the cooking process. It is nothing more than washing and cutting vegetables, and then heating oil in a pan. However, Schiller still commented on every step of the recipe conscientiously, saying everything he could think of.
While filming the video, Schiller heard some noise behind him, but he was concentrating on cooking and didn't look back.
After the video was shot and edited, and uploaded, he discovered that Peter and Gwen, Wanda and Jarvis, and Harry and Mary were together.
"Hey, doctor, is the meal ready? Is there anything I can help you with?" Peter seemed a little apologetic. He said, "You always cook. It's really too much work. I'll do it next time."
"No, I've been filming a recipe review video lately. What are you guys talking about?"
"We're going to have a couples night!"
"It looks like I'm going to be left out."
"No! Doctor! If you want to come, we welcome you!"
"No, I promised Nick to go night fishing at sea tonight. You guys should have fun, but why did you suddenly think of doing this?"
"Wanda wants to make a video." Peter grinned and said, "Harry brought a new board game. It's very popular in New York recently. A lot of people are playing it. We plan to try it too."
"What is this?" Schiller curiously leaned over to look at the box on the table.
"Superhero Kill!"
"What?" Schiller seemed to have vaguely heard the pronunciation of a Chinese word. Could he have heard it wrong?
"Superhero kill!" Peter said, "'sha' seems to mean death."
Sure enough, he did not hear it wrong. The last syllable of Peter's words was in Chinese, which is the pronunciation of the Chinese word "kill".
This brought back some bad memories for Schiller.
"No," Harry retorted, "The word 'kill' is Chinese, and it means to kill the other person. That means we kill each other."
"But how can superheroes kill each other?"
"It's not a real killing." Wanda said, "Did you kill Captain America in the game and he died?"
"This doesn't have a good implication." Gwen said helplessly, "Captain America is fine, but if you kill Iron Man, won't Tony be pissed to death?"
"Then I won't play with him." Pikachu said unhappily, "He's so stingy, he always wants to regret his moves, I won't play board games with him."
"So where did this come from?" Schiller asked curiously.
"I bought it in Hong Kong. It wasn't available on Amazon when I bought it, but it seems to be available now," said Harry.
Schiller picked up the box and looked at it carefully, then found the Disney logo on the back. No wonder the copyrights of the images of these American superheroes are basically in the hands of Disney. This was all facilitated by Nick.
But he found that there was a line of small words under the Disney logo, which read "Disney China".
“Is this imported from China?”
“Yes, this seems to be a board game product developed by Disney’s Chinese branch. It’s not very popular in China, but after being reviewed by a New York blogger, it became popular there.
Harry explained, "But this thing has not been officially exported yet. It can only be bought in Hong Kong. It was very scarce before. I was able to buy it only through some connections."
Schiller discovered that the box had been opened before, so he simply opened it. Sure enough, there were a lot of props and cards inside. When he picked them up, he saw that they were all in simplified Chinese.
"Do you understand?" Schiller asked.
It's no wonder he has this question. It's not surprising that these people now know some Chinese, because there are many Mandarin bloggers on short video software and major video software, and they also have many foreign fans following them.
But speaking and writing Chinese is not difficult at all. It is normal to speak a few sentences, but it is difficult to recognize characters because there is no connection between pronunciation and font. You can only memorize them by rote. Even learning pinyin takes a long time. Except for him and the two robots, it is unlikely that anyone in this house can recognize Chinese.
"You can't understand it if you look at it this way," Harry said. "It's different if you put this on."
Harry took out several pairs of glasses from somewhere and excitedly asked everyone to try them on.
Schiller also took a pair and tried them on. The moment he saw the layout, the Chinese characters on it were scratched off and replaced with English.
Good guy, translation glasses with modifications and inlays?
Translation glasses have actually been around for a long time, but the magic of this pair of translation glasses is that they can photoshop real pictures, directly cut out the original text, and put the language to be translated in its place. They are also very responsive and have no flaws.
Schiller picked up the cards and shook them vigorously in front of his eyes, then turned his head. The words did not move at all, as if they were really printed on the cards. It was still magical.
"This is the latest product of the Osborne Group." Harry said, "I am responsible for it entirely. What do you think?"
"It's perfect," Schiller commented, "but it doesn't look like a product of Osborne Corporation. It looks more like Stark Industries."
"My dad said the same thing. He doesn't quite agree with me doing this, but I think this is definitely the development trend of the future." Harry said, "Don't think that it can only translate the language on Earth now. Maybe it can translate alien languages in the future? And maybe it can be made into contact lenses in the future?"
"There are so many alien languages. It will take humans decades to learn them all. But if we connect to the alien network and want to watch their short videos, we still have to understand their language. This will be much more convenient."
Schiller nodded. He also agreed with what Harry said. Although there is a universal language in the universe, just like English, there are many people who use English, but not all. Most people use translation software.
Moreover, the three empires basically use the language of their own race, and only use the common language in more formal diplomatic occasions. If you want to understand their own national culture, you still have to know their language.
The languages of these three empires have their own merits. The Skrull Empire and the Kree Empire both use alphabetic languages. The language of the Shi'ar Empire is similar to Chinese, which is a pictographic language, and each character has its meaning.
Moreover, each of their characters has three sides and must be read in a fixed order, making it extremely difficult to read and write. It takes humans several years just to learn this language, and the learning cost is very high.
Previously, mutants had organized a training course for learning the language of the Shi'ar Empire, but it ended in failure. Even a genius like Beast couldn't continue learning halfway, let alone other mutants.
What's even more terrifying is that, just like Chinese, the Shi'ar script is divided into several versions, and court etiquette is written in their ancient language. Schiller once took a look at it at Professor X's place. If Professor X hadn't explained it, he would have thought that the mutants had begun to learn to draw talismans.
Back to Harry's invention, the promotion of interstellar diplomacy is a matter of the past. Now it does make it more convenient to play games and read comics, but it does have its shortcomings, that is, different languages have different lengths.
Schiller picked up a card casually and found that it was a fungus man from the new warrior team camp. His ability was to plant spores on two random enemy generals. Before each attack, blood would be deducted, but not when defending. After three rounds, the spores turned into germs and began to infect, infecting two people each round. His own side could also be infected. When everyone on the field was infected with the germs, the germs turned into hallucinogens. Each round of action became a random drawing of cards in the action queue. After one round, a corrupt card would be added to the draw pile. The character who drew the corrupt card would have one corruption value added. After three points of corruption, the character would turn into bones.
This is already very long in Chinese, so the font size is one size smaller than other cards. However, after being translated into English, it is simply too long. The original frame of the card can't fit it at all, and the small cartoon of the fungus man on it has also been removed and replaced with text.
The Fungus Man is a small character in the superhero team, but he has so many skills. Schiller was just wondering if it was a bit complicated when he saw another card next to him.
Then he discovered that the skills of these cards were all linked. For example, not only the fungus people could spread germs, but also those with the chemist label could, such as the lizard man Dr. Connors, who could spread lizard germs by biting people.
And he's not the only one who can induce hallucinations, Doctor Strange and many other wizards with the wizard tag can do it, and "Bones" can also be resurrected by characters with the "Death" tag.
