Chapter 172: Time to Pick Up Trash
"With our current strength, it's impossible to go head-to-head with so many monsters!" Shi Dayong gave enough pressure in the video conference.
Deciphering the text of this civilization as soon as possible is the most crucial factor, although no danger has been found now, no one knows what kind of mutation will occur in these strange meat balls.
"Major Shi, you must know that we can't be lazy, but it is clear that the speed of decipherment of words cannot be accelerated by your subjective will. On the contrary, the more urgent it is, the more it cannot be deciphered. A lot of things need to be sparked, and you need to try them slowly. ”
The expert on the video was also under a lot of pressure, he thought about it for a while, and said cautiously: "Here I have a suggestion, I hope you can collect some more effective picture materials, only pictures can speed up the decipherment." ”
"The first is the map, with which we can know which words represent the name of the place and where the more important places are. In particular, we were able to discover the approximate location of universities, laboratories and military bases! ”
Shi Dayong nodded, "This...... We'll be watching, but we need opportunities. ”
Professor Wang in the video continues: "The second is children's language teaching materials. The children's textbooks are simpler and often accompanied by pictures, which can help us understand the new language very well. What are the things you've found now...... It's all dense text, and it's very difficult to decipher! Do you know how many years cuneiform was deciphered? More than 200 years! ”
"So many experts around the world have deciphered it for more than two hundred years. How is it possible that you let us decipher the text in a short period of time? ”
"If you want to be fast, you have to find more pictures."
"And then there's posters, advertisements, and things with pictures anyway, you know?"
"Got it, we'll keep an eye on that tomorrow!"
Shi Dayong sighed, he also understood what Professor Wang said.
Most of the materials they found today were complex texts that looked a bit like contracts or lawyer's documents, plus some thick books. In this case, it is a bit difficult to ask for a quick decipherment and get it out within a month.
After all, the experts in the Sea of Clouds, in terms of quantity and quality, are no more than the original powerful supernatural research center, and it is understandable that the translation is a little slower.
"Well, let's collect as many pictures as we can. Try to sort out some key information as much as possible, and find out the location of universities, libraries, and military bases without having to decipher everything! We searched the rooms of civilians all day and night, what a waste of time. Is there a problem with doing it in a week?! ”
"This ...... We try to see if there is any such information in the information you have gathered. ”
After a busy day, the expedition members were tired enough, and at nine o'clock in the evening, everyone had a summary meeting and disbanded early.
Only the logistics troops on the destroyer are still busy, and the monitoring and uploading data are still uploading data, and it is estimated that they will be busy until the second half of the night......
"I didn't find any danger today, and the logging team will come tomorrow, right?" Lu Yiming's mood is actually quite good.
It's sometimes a good thing to spot dangers, or at least to have some plans in place for them.
Shi Dayong replied: "Yes, I don't know how long this period of security will last, but there are no such meat balls in the forest...... Hurry up and chop some wood. ”
A lumberjack, chopping wood with a chainsaw is very fast, but he uses a crane to lift it up, and the process of carrying it to the ship is relatively long.
The trees here are so huge that they can weigh several tons on a single one. One or two hundred workers can get back two or three thousand pieces of wood a day, that is, a mass of 4,000 tons, which is more than enough.
It is even more trouble-free to dig mud, and an excavator can dig one or two thousand tons a day.
"That's a nice bonus."
Lu Yiming returned to his bedroom, yawned, and fell asleep groggyly.
That night, nothing happened......
At six o'clock the next morning, after breakfast, the expedition was again divided into two teams, and the felling brigade also hurried in the early morning.
Lu Yiming and the others took a helicopter to the ruins of the city.
After this experience, everyone was more cautious, and even the helicopter stopped in a more peripheral flat area, for fear that the roar of the helicopter would wake up these monsters.
Moreover, the information collected is more biased towards the form of pictures.
"Clairvoyant" Li Yao watched from the hillside and soon found a house similar to a kindergarten, surrounded by children's toys such as slides and seesaws. These large toys were covered with yellow-brown mold and lay crookedly on the ground, and only Li Yao, the "clairvoyant", could identify these things from a distance.
Luckily or unfortunately, the house has completely collapsed, so there's no need to worry about a meat ball living in it and everyone working in it.
The expedition team had to use shovels and other tools to move bricks and tiles for half a day.
But what is surprising is that there is a barely sealed cabinet under this ruin, and there are a lot of children's books stored in the cabinet, because they have not been exposed to wind and rain, and they are actually well preserved!
These children's textbooks were the biggest takeaway of the second day, and they accelerated the decipherment of the language of this unknown civilization......
On the third day, the harvest was even greater, and people found a lot of written materials in a well-preserved house!
A map of the city is included!
The reason is that the house is too well preserved, the windows are installed with anti-theft windows, and the gate is also an alloy anti-theft door, so there are no meat ball doves occupying the magpie's nest.
The expedition team almost ransacked the valuable things in the room!
Day 4......
The expedition team was lucky enough to find a large factory in the suburbs!
From a human point of view, it seems to be an automobile production base
All kinds of messy parts and components are densely stacked together, and after so many years, many of them are rusty. There are also all kinds of messy bottles and cans, mechanical equipment with mechanical arms, all kinds of messy things.
"It's a good thing, take it back if it's rusty. Maybe it can be used again. Move back, be sure to find a way to move back! Our helicopter should be able to lift things and transport them, right? Lu Yiming's eyes were red, and when he saw these equipment, he was feverish.
The thrill of picking up trash was so strong that it made him want to stop......
The only trouble was that the central part of the factory was occupied by a few meat balls, so the expedition could only move a few nearby warehouses.
The harvest of this trip, many places can't even load the transport helicopter!
It took several days to pack all the loot home.
Day 5...... The information on the map has been deciphered by experts, and the names of key places are marked on the map.
From this day on, the expedition team began to purposefully search for more supplies, one of the most important of which was the city's famous university......
Day 6......
Day 7......
And just like that, a week passed quickly......
The joy of the harvest inspired everyone on the expedition, and at first, everyone thought that the mission was a bit dangerous, but now, everyone loved the feeling of finding a treasure in the garbage.
The work of the cutting brigade was quite smooth, and a large amount of wood had been piled up on the deck of the Yunhai, which should be enough for a while and a half.
As long as the exploration team avoids those bouncing meat balls, the danger can be controlled.
This is completely the heritage of a civilization laid out in front of you, for others to take! Even after a few decades, there are still many things that can be used. In a huge city, you can always find some large machinery that is not too rusty and can be used for repair.
On the eighth day, when the helicopter returned to the destroyer, there was a large 10-ton machine hanging underneath!
