Chapter 7: The Five Elements

"Map of the heavens and stars. ”

When Xingchen shouted these four words, they quickly reached the ears of all those present.

"Stars~ Are you sure that the meaning of these four symbols is the map of the heavens and stars?" Sun Tianxiang carefully looked at the four symbols on the stone pier, wanting to see what was going on.

Under Sun Tianxiang's questioning, Fang Xingchen took out the electronic version of the collection of ancient characters.

These precious ancient characters were prepared by Fang Xingchen before he came, and they are a complete collection of ancient and modern characters from all over the world. When Sun Tianxiang saw these ancient words, he realized that what Fang Xingchen said was true. These four symbols do have some similarities with the four hieroglyphs, and the meanings of these four hieroglyphs are basically the same as those of the heavens and stars.

Because of the successive discoveries of scientific researcher Ruan Lingyu and archaeologist Fang Xingchen, everyone's research direction has also been greatly improved, and we no longer aimlessly carry out various measurements and conjectures.

Finding the right research direction, everyone seems to be fighting like chicken blood, and they are working very hard to carry out research. Ruan Lingyu, in particular, actually planned to draw all the star map patterns on the entire white jade square into an intuitive starry sky map.

Fang Xingchen and Sun Tianxiang devoted themselves to the task of translating the four lines of small symbols on the stone pier. Some of the other scientists helped Ruan Lingyu to draw the maps of the stars on the ground, while others began to calculate the position of the stars in the universe relative to the Earth.

As for the other archaeologists, they continue to compare the ancient cultures of the carvings on the five Optimus Pillars to find historical records.

An archaeologist was cleaning up the carvings on one of the Optimus Pillars when he seemed to find something unusual about the carvings and immediately called in other archaeologists to excavate them.

Through the joint efforts of more than a dozen archaeologists, this unusual carving is clearly visible in front of everyone's eyes. has good eyes, and some clues float out at a glance.

"It was like a fork of the roots of a tree, and it was going upward, but it was covered with dust, and it was impossible to see how high it had stretched. "An archaeologist said his most intuitive knowledge, which coincides with other people's knowledge.

"Come and see, there are also findings on this pillar, which seem to be carvings of water flow patterns. The archaeologists who were cleaning up the carvings under another Optimus Pillar suddenly shouted loudly.

"We've found it here too, and it looks like a flame carving, and the fire is spreading upwards. ”

"We have it here, and it looks like a ...... of mountains and rivers."

"We've got some weird patterns here, I can't tell what they are, they look dense, with sparkling carved patterns. ”

A succession of new discoveries has pushed the archaeological research work to a climax.

"We can go back to the Five Elements Array, and if the five Optimus Pillars represent the Five Elements, then these carved patterns have an explanation. For example, the tree carving pattern on this pillar represents the element wood~" After Sun Tianxiang learned about everyone's discovery, he had a bold hypothesis.

"In this way, the tree carving pattern represents the five elements of elemental wood, and the others are elemental water, fire, earth, and gold~" As a scientist, Ruan Lingyu is still very interested in ancient science. The theory of the five elements is an alternative science invented by ancient wise men.

"Let's also come and see the meaning of these symbols~ I have basically paraphrased it. The new discovery of the people directly improved the paraphrasing progress of Fang Xingchen and Sun Tianxiang, and it turned out that a large number of symbols inscribed around the stone pier were stating the role of this five-element array.

In the paraphrase of Fang Xingchen and Sun Tianxiang, the approximate meaning is this: the basic elements of the universe are gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The five elements of checks and balances can give birth to life, the separation of the five elements can destroy heaven and earth, and the integration of the five elements can lead to all worlds.

"What are you kidding?Are you paraphrasing wrong~ Is this simply telling a mythical story?" A foreign scientist showed disbelief for this paraphrase.

"Kevins, you may not know much about the scientific culture of our ancient Chinese people. Don't you think that our entire earth is a living world composed of the five elements that check and balance each other? It is exactly in line with the description in the first paragraph~" On the contrary, as a native of China, Ruan Lingyu has a thorough understanding of the scientific knowledge of ancient Chinese sages while accepting modern science. After Fang Xingchen read out the paraphrase, she immediately understood the meaning of it.

"Kevins, don't believe it, these five elements of checks and balances are about the five elements of the five elements of mutual growth and restraint, for example, our common water, is a material form of the water element. And our common flame is a material manifestation of the fire element. Water is just enough to extinguish the flames, which has the meaning of water overcoming fire...... Firewood can be burned to form a flame, which can be understood as wood to make a fire. And our Chinese sages and scientists believe that these basic five elements constitute the living world we live in today, that is, the earth. Seeing that the foreign scientist didn't understand this, Sun Tianxiang took the initiative to explain the basic knowledge of the five elements in an easy-to-understand manner.

"Oh, my God, you reminded you that this is really the case, it's amazing! Your scientific ancestors are so great, I must learn about the five elements with you when I have time. After listening to Sun Tianxiang's explanation, Kevins applauded the magic of the Five Elements Science. was even curious to learn these knowledge from Sun Tianxiang.

The curiosity of Kevins and several other foreign scientists was unimpressed. Because apart from them, all the scholars present knew about the five elements.

This first sentence is basically consistent with the law of the five elements, while the second and third sentences are difficult to understand. These five elements are separated from each other, and they can destroy the world and the world, which is really too exaggerated. As for the fusion of the five elements, which can lead to all worlds, Mo Fei refers to the alien world. At this moment, Fang Xingchen had completely sorted out the subtle relationship between these new discoveries. He looked up at the sky and boldly said his understanding of the third sentence.

"Are you saying that the meaning of being able to pass through the worlds is to go to the alien world? If this is true, the star pattern engraved under our feet should be the coordinates of the starry sky~" Regarding Fang Xingchen's bold guess, Ruan Lingyu actually expressed deep support.

"It's amazing~ It's amazing~ Sure enough, they are all the world's top talents. But this little comrade, I want to ask you, if it is really as you said, this Five Elements Array hides the secret to the alien world, then how should it function?" Just as everyone was discussing fiercely, an old man wearing a military uniform full of silver threads, but with a burly and tall figure, appeared behind everyone at some point. Everyone turned around and took a look, only to find that it was the head of the military region in charge of security here, and the person standing next to him was Colonel Zhang Hong, who had gone to the appointment to drink.

"Hello Chief, I guess the secret to the alien world is hidden in the giant structure outside the metal walls. Facing the biggest officer here, Fang Xingchen didn't feel a trace of nervousness, and told his true thoughts to the chief on a case-by-case basis. Because only in this way will he have the opportunity to enter the ancient buildings to find the secrets he wants to know.

"The third team, quickly control him, this person is likely to be a spy~" When Fang Xingchen finished speaking, Zhang Hong indiscriminately wanted to arrest Fang Xingchen.

"Slow down~ Who allowed you to arrest people!In my opinion, he is just guessing~ I still want to continue to listen to him~" For Zhang Hong's sudden move, the old chief was angry. However, when he looked at Fang Xingchen, his face was extremely amiable.

"You go on~I want to know the basis for your assertion~"
