Chapter 338: Communication

Not long after Li Dahe left, new news came from the Daxia Medical Hall, those sick dinosaur people, after some struggle, finally only survived.

Although it is said to have survived, several months of illness and torture have already made it bruised all over its body, and the rotten areas of its body have begun to scab, and its whole body seems to have been skinned alive, which looks very terrible.

Although the injuries looked chilling, these were skin wounds, and the red spots on the skin no longer appeared, which was undoubtedly good news for Qiyan.

After the only remaining dinosaur man was much more sober, Qi Yan hurried to the palace to inform Wang Lang of the news.

After learning that only one dinosaur man survived in the end, Wang Lang couldn't help but feel extremely lucky, if these captives all died, then his channel to understand the outside world would be cut off immediately.

Ordered the beggar to take care of the only remaining captive, after careful recuperation, the dinosaur man gradually recovered his strength, half a month later, the scabs on his body have begun to fall off, and his body has basically recovered.

After begging Yan to report to Wang Lang, Wang Lang arranged for someone to transport the captive to a secret location and hold him in a secret place.

Looking at the dinosaur man in front of him who was tied to his feet, Wang Lang had an indescribable feeling that this kind of creature with a completely different face from a human face was difficult for him to regard as an opponent of the same level as a human at this moment.

In the face of alien civilizations, there is simply no experience to refer to.

The human emperor and the dinosaur prisoner looked at each other calmly for a long time.

"I'm human!" As he spoke, he pointed to the others, "People, people, people, we are human beings." ”

He pointed at the dinosaur again: "You are a dinosaur man!" ”

Wang Lang repeated the three words dinosaur man several times, and if the captive's intelligence was normal, he would definitely be able to guess the meaning of what Wang Lang said from this gesture and the repeated syllables.

The captive was at first dazed, then turned to a look of all thoughts, and then nodded to Wang Lang.

Seeing that he understood what he meant, Wang Lang breathed a sigh of relief, which proved that this captive was not a fool.

He took a small notebook from his cuff and flipped a page to point to a map with the outline of Africa.

The captive glanced at the little book, and the expression on his face changed slightly, but his face was different from that of a human being, and Wang Lang couldn't see what this expression meant.

Wang Lang turned the page again and pointed to the pattern of North America, this time the captive's expression was slightly different.

Shaking his head, Wang Lang turned another page, this time on a map of South and Central America.

When the captives saw this map, their emotions were completely different from just now, even if Wang Lang couldn't see that his emotions were that kind of, but such an unusual reaction must have been that he had seen such a terrain.

"Dinosaur people!" Wang Lang finished these three words word by word.

Hearing this, the captive focused his eyes on Wang Lang.

Wang Lang pointed to the map of the Americas, and then pointed to the dinosaur people, picked up charcoal and drew a few stick figures of three-masted warships in the Pacific Ocean, and drew some lines to connect South America, and drew some arrows on these lines, and pushed the finished map to the captives for them to see.

Wang Lang saw that he stared at the map for a long time, but he didn't follow for a long time, and couldn't help but secretly say: "Didn't this guy understand the meaning of what he drawn?" ”

I glanced at the map I had drawn again, and felt that the meaning of this was already obvious, and with the IQ of this captive, if I couldn't guess it, it must be a cat.

Wang Lang took the small book and continued to draw stick figures on it with charcoal, this time the drawing was more complicated, similar to a simple comic book.

In this simple comic strip, Wang Lang drew the meaning he wanted to express, which probably means that if you want to live, you must work for human beings, and human beings do not raise useless things, of course, the pictures in the pictures are still a little bloody.

The captive obviously understood what Wang Lang meant, hesitated for a while, and finally let out a series of strange and strange sounds, which were extremely fast to human hearings, and could not make such a sound with human tongues.

"Come on, unshackle it!" Wang Lang said loudly.

"Your Majesty, this monster is extremely fierce, I'm afraid it will be dangerous to let go of its hand!" The guards persuaded one after another.

Wang Lang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I just want to rely on my two hands and I can't hurt me, open it for him." ”

In desperation, the guards opened the shackles for the captives, put the waist knife out of the body, and the vigilant guards were beside Wang Lang, as long as this monster dared to behave abnormally, the guards were ready to rush up at any time and hack it to death.

The captives ignored these human soldiers, who seemed to be on the verge of a great enemy, took the small book handed by Wang Lang, turned to the page with the drawing of South America, pointed to the location of Central America, and said some strange syllables.

"Looks like these guys are dinosaur people from Central America." Wang Lang said secretly.

Nodding to the captive, he went on to draw some dinosaur people on the map, ranging from the North Pole to the South Pole.

Wang Lang clicked on the pictures he had drawn.

The dinosaur man thought confidently for a moment, pointed to the polar regions, and shook his head.

Seeing this, Wang Lang knew in his heart, it seemed that as he expected, the species of dinosaur people on the old road had been divided into various places, and it was understandable that no one existed in the polar regions.

It is very inconvenient to rely on pictures to communicate, some originally very simple meanings, you need to draw some very complex pictures to express them, and with the special voice of the dinosaur people, he estimates that the two races can not communicate in words, maybe after years of listening can be understood, said definitely can't be said.

Wang Lang wanted to ask about the number of dinosaur people, but this abstract concept was not something that pictures could express at all, his fingers lightly tapped on the table, he thought for a long time, picked up the pen again, and wrote a number 1 on it.

The captive looked at the graphic on the paper, puzzled, not knowing what the human in front of him was trying to say.

Wang Lang nodded this one and held up a finger.

But the captive shook his head and said he didn't understand.

Continue to write a 2 on the paper and hold up two more fingers.

This time, the dinosaur captives finally reacted and understood that the human was counting.

He was relieved to see that the dinosaur man understood what he meant, but when the number was written to 7, he encountered a new problem, and the captive did not understand what it meant.

Wang Lang frowned, he could understand from one to six, why didn't he understand this seven.

When I looked at the three fingers of the dinosaur people, I finally understood what the problem was, humans have ten fingers, so the dinosaur people have six fingers, and the possible base system is also different from that of humans, humans use decimal and dinosaur people may use hexadecimal.

In order to verify his conjecture, Wang Lang handed the pen to the dinosaur man and asked him to write down their range from one to six.

Wang Lang prayed that the dinosaur man in front of him would not be illiterate, if so, it would be more difficult to communicate.

But fortunately, the pen invented by humans was a little unaccustomed to the use of dinosaurs, but fortunately, the captive wrote a few strange symbols on the white paper.

Although Wang Lang couldn't read it, when he wrote six numbers, the seventh number was indeed a combination of the second symbol and the first symbol.

"It seems that although the civilizations are different, the method of counting is still the same." Wang Lang said secretly.

According to the symbols written by the dinosaur man, Wang Lang corresponded with the numbers 0-5 one by one, and when he wrote 7, it was indeed the number 10.

The dinosaur man thought for a long time and finally understood what Wang Lang meant, and looked at the human in front of him in surprise in his narrow and ordinary snake-like eyes, such a complex mathematical problem, this human actually figured out the difference between the two civilizations without detailed communication.

After communicating with the captive mathematically for a while, Wang Lang left with the guards, and the problem with this base conversion was not only that the captive needed time to understand and digest, but also that Wang Lang needed to go back and sort out his thoughts before he could continue to talk with the captive.

Half a month later, Wang Lang saw the captive again, and after half a month, his state seemed to be very healthy at this time, and his spirit was much better before.

Seeing Wang Lang coming, the captive seemed very excited, quickly got up, and said a series of words to Wang Lang.

The guards were worried that it would hurt people, so they hurriedly protected Wang Lang Tuantuan.

Wang Lang waved his hand, told the guards to stand down, and motioned for the dinosaur man to sit down.

Take out the small book, and the communication between the two different races resumes.

When the dinosaur man arrived, Wang Lang handed over a small book, looked at the dense base conversion rules on it, looked at Wang Lang deeply, and admired the mathematical attainments of the human in front of him.

Seeing that the dinosaur man nodded, Wang Lang took out the previous map of America, pointed to the dinosaur man drawn on it, and then pointed to the number.

The dinosaur man understood, picked up the pen and thought for a while, and wrote a number according to the base conversion rules written by Wang Lang.

Wang Lang looked at the numbers on the paper, and was stunned for a moment, only to see the Arabic numeral two million written on the paper.

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, with the level of civilization of the dinosaur people, the entire America only had a population of only two million, which was obviously much beyond his expectations.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Lang took a charcoal pen and drew a circle on the map of the Americas, pointing to the pattern of the dinosaur man and then to the number.

The captive shook his head repeatedly, stretched out a finger, drew a circle in the northern part of Central and South America, and pointed to the number.

"I see, it seems that this dinosaur people are also divided into different countries, and these two million are just the population of this country." Wang Lang said secretly.

"Zhao Langzhong, I think its wisdom is okay, in the future, if you teach it our words, we will teach it according to the method I gave you." Wang Lang turned back to an official and said.

Zhao Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites glanced at the hideous-looking captive with some fear, and nodded reluctantly.

The communication with the dinosaur man has come to an end for the time being, and it is too troublesome to communicate with pictures, and the communication can only continue after the dinosaur man has learned the words.

At the same time, after a long journey of more than 20 days, Li Dahe finally arrived in Pingnan City.

Five or six miles from the rammed earth city wall, the local officials who got the news went out of the city from afar to welcome the arrival of the first minister in the history of the Xia Kingdom.

And Wei Tu, the commander of Pingnan County, who was at the forefront of these officials, had a gloomy look in his eyes.

Seeing Li Dahe's vehicle slowly approaching, Wei Tu smiled hard, and stepped forward with the officials to greet him: "Pingnan County ordered Wei Tu to lead the officials to greet the officials. ”

Li Dahe stepped out of the car, bowed his hand to the officials, and said, "Colleagues are polite. ”

"Li Qincha, Xiaguan has already prepared wine and meat in the city, and it is very hard for Qincha to come from afar." Wei Tu said with a smile.

Li Dahe nodded and said, "Thank you for the hospitality of the Wei County Order." ”

"Li Qin sends, please!"

"Colleagues, please!"

For this small southern city, Li Dahe is also the first time to come here, and after getting used to seeing the prosperity near the capital, this slightly deserted small county town looks unique.

Under the leadership of Wei Tu, Li Dahe and a group of officials came to the county office.

A table of wine and meat has been set up in the lobby of the county office, and it looks quite sumptuous.

This meal is absolutely unique in such a county, and the cost must be expensive.

"Fellow workers have broken the bank." Li Dahe arched his hand.

"Li Qincha is polite, Shangguan is His Majesty's minister of the humerus, such a little wine and meat, Qin is disgusted and neglected." Wei Tu said with a smile.

Li Dahe nodded and said, "Colleagues, sit down!" ”

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Wei Tu's eyes rolled, and he smiled at Li Dahe: "I don't know what Qin sent here for." ”

Li Dahe arched his hand towards the north and said: "This official is personally appointed by His Majesty to investigate the case of Han Ji's murder of his wife, this case Your Majesty is very concerned about, and I hope that your colleagues will assist this official in investigating this case." ”

As he spoke, a pair of eyes swept over the faces of the officials at this table one by one.

The corners of Wei Tu's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he smiled reluctantly: "Qin Cha is doing things for Your Majesty, and we will definitely do our best to help." ”

"In this way, Li has more colleagues, come! I toast you! ”

After eating the reception banquet, Li Dahe was escorted by the guards to the accommodation prepared for himself.

"Mr. Li, I'm sorry for you!" Li Dahe called the guard commander and said.

"Li Qincha, if you have any orders, just say it directly, before leaving, Your Majesty has already explained to his subordinates and will fully assist Qincha." Mr. Li said slowly.

Li Dahe nodded and said: "Thank you so much, you change into the clothes of ordinary people, and go to the city in private to inquire about this Han Ji in the past few days, and report to me if there is any news, and send someone to secretly stare at that Wei County Order." ”

"Qincha, do you think Wei Tu is suspicious?" Mr. Li asked.

"I just think there's something wrong with him, maybe I'm overthinking." Li Dahe said slowly.

"Don't worry, Qin Cha has been by His Majesty's side for so long, and I have learned a lot, and it is absolutely no problem to leave this matter to us." Li Ba arched his hand.

"I'm sorry for you."
