Future Optical Brain System

Chapter 118 Lecture on "The Rise of Great Powers" (Seeking the first order!)

Chen Dong didn't bring a manuscript, because his best manuscript now is his brain with super memory.

Chen Dong is a person who is good at chatting and has some sense of humor. He can tell an ordinary story vividly and interestingly, and tell an interesting story so that people laugh out loud.

I believe that I can do a good job in this program.

Chen Dong was sitting on a chair with a desk in front of him. There was a book on the table. The book was "The Rise of the Great Powers". There was also a small car model of Indinis placed very close to Chen Dong. Whenever When the camera is pointed at Chen Dong, it will capture these two things. Sometimes the photographer will make a big close-up of these two things, which will be remembered by the audience intentionally or unintentionally during the broadcast.

"Okay." Chen Dong nodded to the staff and said.

As soon as the words fell, the camera and everyone started their official work.

Since the program is recorded and broadcasted, there are no audiences. The only audiences are the staff of You/Ku, including photographers, lighting engineers, sound engineers, on-site conductors, and logistics support personnel.

"Everyone, everyone, it is a great honor to be invited by You/Ku to do a program today. Today I will tell you about the rise and fall of the Portuguese in the Age of Discovery, as well as some famous figures who emerged in the Age of Discovery. , an interesting event.

Around 1500 AD can be said to be an important watershed in human history.

Before that, human beings lived on several continents that were isolated from each other and independent. Many people believed that the earth was square and the sky was round. Everyone lived in a lid. There was no such thing as the theory that the sky is square and the earth is round, that the sky is covered, and all kinds of things. There are many theories, but it was not until the later great voyage that it was confirmed that the earth is round. "

Chen Dong's opening remarks were very simple.

The language is concise, concise, and very convincing. When it comes to saying that everyone lives under the lid, it is humorous, which makes the You/Ku staff who are also the audience next to them can't help but smile.

Chen Dong continued, "Speaking of the Age of Discovery, many people have a vague image of 'colony' in their minds. This image is too profound. It is written in the textbook that, in fact, at the beginning, the Age of Discovery began. Portugal did not want to colonize anyone at first, but only wanted to trade. At that time, the land trade routes in Western Europe were first monopolized by Arab merchants, and then blocked by the sudden rise of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. With no other choice, Western European countries had no choice but to find a way out from the ocean.

Portugal was the first to start the great voyage. There are many reasons why Portugal’s voyage has reached the forefront of Western European countries... The Portuguese have a spirit of adventurousness and excitement in their bones. This spirit is very important and directly contributed to Portugal’s People have great courage to finally walk towards the Atlantic Ocean, which is known as the 'Green Sea of ​​Death'. One more thing, at this point, Chen Dong turned around and pointed to a large map on the wall, pointed at the location of Portugal and said, "Everyone starts from here. It is only fair that God can be seen on a map. Although Portugal is a barren land, its geographical location is extremely important. It is located on the main transportation route of Western Europe, with convenient ports and wind and climate."

……

Chen Dong first talked about one of the most important reasons for the great voyage and why the Portuguese came to the forefront of Western European countries and started the great voyage first.

The language is vivid and concise, the content is interesting, and it matches the facial expressions and body language. It is very contagious, just like a few old friends drinking and chatting at the dinner table. It is very casual and natural, and sometimes some funny jokes emerge from the words. Let everyone laugh, and the atmosphere suddenly became active.

When talking about this passage, Chen Dong focused on a book and a peppercorn. The book is "Geography Guide", and peppercorns are spices, which is very interesting.

Following Chen Dong's narration, each individual character and each event are narrated in his mouth, with careful logic, few mistakes and omissions, concise and accurate words, and accurate words and sentences to describe the current situation. It is also funny and humorous, and it brings the audience quite a magical feeling. It is wonderful and interesting, and the audience loves to listen to it, and is fascinated by the magnificent era of great voyages.

During the narration, some topics were raised from time to time. When Chen Dong talked about Prince Enrique's improvement of the Chinese compass, suddenly, the topic changed and the topic of the compass was brought up.

"Without a compass, it is very difficult to sail in the sea. In the vast white sea, the sky is connected to the water, and the water is connected to the sky. It is difficult to distinguish the direction of navigation. Of course, the ancients can be said to be extremely wise. They can see the sunrise and sunset during the day. , look at the North Star at night to identify the direction, but this method of identifying the navigation direction has to be discontinued when it is cloudy and rainy, because there is no sun when it is cloudy and rainy, and the North Star cannot be seen, so the compass solves this problem." Chen Dong said.

Everyone knows that the compass is one of the four great inventions of China. How to spread it to the west? There is a very interesting story in it....

……

Listening to a wonderful story, several people in the study were fascinated.

Chen Dong talks eloquently and is very good at mobilizing the atmosphere. He uses facial expressions and body language, which is just right, giving people the impression that he is not overly artificial or rigid. From time to time, some funny jokes are mixed in the words, and the atmosphere immediately rises.

What is told is condensed into legendary stories, which are very exciting and can attract the audience to listen carefully and be fascinating.

Thirty-five minutes passed, and it was almost over. Halfway through the chapter on "The Rise of Great Powers, Portugal", Chen Dong spoke dryly, and several part-time viewers were also very engaged.

"Okay, this episode is over. The next episode will be broadcast next Friday. Please pay more attention to it." At this point, Chen Dong picked up the book on the table and showed the cover to everyone, and said, "Finally, I recommend This book, The Rise of a Great Power: Portugal, is very interesting and worth reading.”

Recording and broadcasting completed.

"Chen Dong, it's very interesting to listen to your story. I think this episode will definitely have a huge hit rate." The on-site commander Hou Jun gave Chen Dong a thumbs up and praised him.

"Yeah, it's very interesting. After listening to you, I'm already fascinated by that period of great voyage." Photographer Hu Tao nodded in agreement.

"Thank you!" Chen Dong smiled and said, "Everyone has worked hard. It's just time for lunch. I'll treat you to a meal and try my hometown cuisine."

"Okay, then you're welcome."

You/Ku's staff were left in the study to pack up the photography equipment.

Chen Dong walked out of the study and walked towards the kitchen.

It happened that Aunt Du was washing rice and cooking in the study. Chen Dong hurriedly told Aunt Du, "Aunt Du, cook a meal for 7 people, and add some good dishes for lunch. I will invite some friends to eat together."
