Chapter Eighty-Seven: Communication
It was a captain, still very young, with a pen and paper, and he looked like he was in pain and wanted to cry without tears.
Wang Hu was angry several times, he might want to scold a few words, but after looking at the aliens, he smiled and said in a tone of hatred: "You loser and don't have filial piety, why don't you know to study hard with your father!" ”
"I had known, I, I had to learn if I vomited blood......"
At this moment, the commissar rushed in.
"Quick, Professor Liu, this is Professor Liu, who teaches foreign languages, he knows several foreign languages!"
Wang Hu wanted to be mad again, he tilted his head and said, "What's the use of knowing several foreign languages!" Does he speak alien language, you should call for an expert in ancient Chinese! ”
Professor Liu was in his fifties, he looked at the alien in a daze, and didn't seem to hear Wang Hu's words, but soon, he slapped his hand and said, "Simple! ”
Everyone was taken aback by Professor Liu's clapping, and Wang Hu said, "What's simple? ”
"Communication is simple, this alien can speak ancient Chinese, right? Very good, our civilization is in the same line, as long as he can speak ancient Chinese, it is simple, the first contact of ancient human beings, from the complete ignorance of Taoism to learn the other party's language will not take long, not to mention the people who already have a foundation, and I believe that the learning ability of aliens can quickly master the language we use now, paper and pen to me. ”
The captain immediately handed over the pen and paper, and Professor Liu pulled up a chair and began to write on the paper.
"The first is to learn pinyin, since our children can learn, it means that literacy according to pinyin is really simple, after learning pinyin, and then take this dictionary, I believe that there are a few days at most to communicate."
Wang Hu hurriedly said: "How many days? A few days is too long. ”
Professor Liu raised his head, and then he smiled at the alien and said, "Please follow me, ah, oh, Bopo Mo Buddha......"
The alien really began to practice pronunciation with Professor Liu, and the alien's pronunciation was accurate, and the voice was exactly the same as Professor Liu's.
"This is the initial, this is the final......"
"Initials, finals......"
"Pinyin, hello."
"Hello."
"My name is Liu Wen."
"My name is Liu Wen, and your name is Liu Wen."
"That's right! That's right, that's right! ”
Professor Liu looked back at Wang Hu and said with a smile: "Look, how strong the learning ability of the high-intelligence race is!" ”
At this moment, a soldier shouted outside: "Report, I invited Professor Zhang......
An old man in his sixties was brought into the conference room, he looked at the alien, and after a long exclamation, he said to Wang Hu: "This is, this is ......"
"This is our savior, Professor Zhang, what do you teach?"
"Teaching history, the history department of Normal University, why are you looking for me?"
"This alien friend writes Xiao Seal and speaks ancient Chinese, and now Professor Liu is teaching him pinyin."
Professor Zhang came to his senses when he heard it, and he immediately said, "Learn pinyin? What do you do with that? I'm coming! ”
Professor Liu was not happy, he turned around and said in an unkind tone: "It's useless to learn pinyin? Do you want this alien friend to communicate with people in ancient Chinese in the future? Please make it clear that when communicating with people of different civilizations and languages, you need linguists, not historians. ”
Professor Zhang ignored Professor Liu at all, and he said urgently: "Let me see what he wrote...... Oh, this is a small seal, yes, a typical Western Han Dynasty font, to the Eastern Han Dynasty is basically a book, he wrote the beginning of the Book of Rites, let me continue to write, give me a pen. ”
Reaching out and snatching the pen, Professor Zhang brushed a few lines on the paper.
"Fortunately, I have also practiced, otherwise there are really few people who can write this small seal, what I write is that Ao can't grow, you can't follow, you can't be satisfied, and you can't be happy."
After writing, Professor Zhang sighed, but Professor Liu said urgently: "Write simplified Chinese, mark pinyin, hey, don't show off your knowledge, communication is the most important thing now!" ”
Wang Hu also said in a deep voice: "That's right, communication is important, Professor Zhang!" ”
Professor Zhang shook his head, but he still wrote it in simplified Chinese and marked pinyin, but after he finished writing, he wrote the word "Han" in small seal on the paper.
After showing the writing to the alien, the alien's head nodded, and his movements were a little awkward, but the alien obviously knew the word "Han".
The alien took the pen and wrote another line, yes, along the lines of the Book of Rites.
After writing one sentence of the Book of Rites, the alien wrote two more words.
Professor Zhang looked straight at the aliens, but he didn't move or say anything.
Wang Hu was helpless and said, "What is written!" ”
"Wang Mang, Wang Mang......"
Professor Zhang turned around, he pointed to the alien, and said in a tone that seemed to be smiling but not laughing, and crying: "He knows Wang Mang, and Wang Mang is his friend." ”
"Wang Mang, the usurper Wang Mang?"
Well, since the alien writes about Xiao Seal and speaks ancient Chinese, it shouldn't be too surprising that he or his predecessors know Wang Mang.
At this time, Professor Liu said in a deep voice: "Now, I can say responsibly, find a dictionary, find a reference book corresponding to the small seal and modern fonts, and then give him a book casually, and this alien friend will be able to communicate with you." ”
At this time, you still think about whether it is useful or not?
Don't be funny, who cares about this now, let's get the stuff first.
Wang Hu said without hesitation: "Go and find it, find it in the whole shelter immediately!" ”
Professor Zhang said without hesitation: "I have a general history of China, a historical record, a general knowledge of governance, and a ...... I'm going to get them all! ”
Gao Yuan said urgently: "Whoever has scientific magazines and books or something, as well as military ones, even manuals will do!" Take all the words with them. ”
At this moment, an officer said in a trembling voice: "No need to look for it, there is!" Some! ”
Wang Hu turned his head suddenly, and the officer looked at Wang Hu and said, "Brigade commander, have you forgotten, haven't we Officer Cheng been collecting cultural materials for the past two years?" ”
Wang Hu woke up like a dream, he put his hand and said, "His computer!" It's kept in the basement room! Go get it! ”
Got a computer?
It's great to have a computer, it's not a computer to transmit data to aliens, but a computer can store too much information, a big USB flash drive can hold text content, and the top of a library.
In the expectation of everyone, after more than ten minutes, the officer ran back sweating profusely, he saluted Wang Hu, and then he saluted excitedly, and said in a trembling voice: "Report, I found it, the computer is not damaged, it can be used." ”
Wang Hu let out a long sigh and said, "Oh, Officer Cheng, Officer Cheng, I have to give you a first-class merit, how good it would be if you lived!" Turn on your computer! ”
A military laptop, when the computer was turned on, Wang Hu said with a sigh: "When we received the order to build this shelter, our cultural officer said that we had to keep all the culture and materials that could be preserved. ”
The computer was turned on, but I didn't know what was inside, but at this time, Professor Liu said loudly: "I'm looking for it, I know how to find it." ”
Professor Liu sat down at the conference table and said urgently: "There are catalogs, there are references, reference books, information films, Chinese...... Pregnant! ”
Professor Liu turned the computer and said excitedly: "The evolution process of Chinese characters, this is the most complete Chinese character library, from pinyin pronunciation to glyph evolution, this is really ...... What a word! ”
I can't find the right adjective, but Professor Liu is very apt to describe it.
The information was turned out and placed in front of the alien, who was very tall, but as soon as he lowered his head, he began to look at the things on the computer.
After Professor Liu disguised how to pull down the page, the alien stretched out a finger, and then he pressed the arrow key and never let go.
The page went down quickly, but the alien didn't react, and then Professor Liu said with emotion: "This is the alien's learning ability, but it's too fast, I guess he's a robot, or it's computer-assisted, or is this a spacesuit?" ”
After Professor Liu finished speaking, the alien also spoke.
"Hello, in order for me to have more information, please give me more information."
This learning ability is invincible.,It's five minutes in total.,If the page can be turned faster.,Maybe it won't take five minutes.。
But more information?
Wang Hu hesitated, he gritted his teeth, and said, "Show him, show him all the things in the computer!" ”
Why did Wang Hu hesitate, because if this alien was not an alien friend, but those villains who released viruses in the sky, then wouldn't the earthlings have no secrets.
But the idea is also quite ridiculous, because aliens don't need to send spies to destroy the Earth.
So what else is there to consider, of course, let the aliens look at it casually, and now it is important to let him have a basic understanding of the earth.
The alien knows how to use a computer, and then he can see all the information he needs on his own.
The movements are very soft, extremely fast, and they can't see what appears on the computer at a high speed.
But the aliens stopped suddenly.
There was no puzzled expression, because the alien had no expression, and the tone was not confused, but the content of the alien's question was indeed a question.
"Are human beings on Earth so powerful? So why not just destroy the alien enemy? ”
Several people were puzzled, and Gao Yuan couldn't help but lean over and take a look at it from a distance.
With a wave of his hand, blow up a planet, that's right, the aliens are reading fantasy novels
Gao Yuan couldn't help laughing and said: "You don't have to read the content under the catalog of novels, it's fake, fictional, what you should read is natural science and physical chemistry, so that you can have an understanding of the earth's civilization, a real understanding." ”
The alien was silent for a moment and said, "Understood." ”
Wang Hu wiped his sweat and said with a wry smile: "Director Cheng, Director Cheng, why did you include the novel, this is really, really...... It's a big misunderstanding! ”
