Senku didn't look the least bit bothered by streams of questions, he had an appetite for knowledge and in more recent years, teaching people. He would encourage anyone to ask questions and look for answers.
"Well, to start with, no my world doesn't have any method like that to understand someone else like the train does. There used to be things on the internet, which was like a way people used to communicate across the world on a computer, that could translate text for you. It wasn't very helpful if you were actually meeting someone." Senku began there, because the other part was a bit more complicated.
"There were people living in space. There was this structure that was in orbit that had a maxiumum capacity of six people. Those people were mostly astronauts, and they typically lived there for three months or six months at a time. It was called the International Space Station, partly because it was a joint project between several countries that had space programs, and mostly it was used for conducting science experiments in space." Senku explained.
"So when you have people from different countries, that all speak different languages, you kind of have to decide on a common one. The language they all use between them is called English. I'm from Japan so what I speak most of the time is Japanese." Senku continued. "But, at one point, the Americans stopped traveling to space on their own and they were using the Soyuz, which is a Russian space capsule, so everything to do with that is in Russian, meaning that if you want to travel to the space station, you have to speak Russian."
The only potential down side, was when Senku was asked a question he was a bit thorough in his responses, which tended to be a bit much for some people.
"University is more school that you can do after high school. It varies in different countries how much school kids have to do, but in Japan we have primary school and middle school which are required. You go to high school if you intend on going to university and after that university." Senku explained. "University lets you get a better job, like any in the scientific fields, things like doctors, lawyers, architects...it's optional though. You can work other jobs without it, but you can't work those jobs."
He offered a wry smile. "Unless your world is like mine where those things don't exist anymore and I get to be a doctor anyway by default."
