The Central Academy of Sciences immediately conducted a comprehensive analysis and study of this black monument, although the language on it is not any existing human language, but it has many similarities with hieroglyphs in terms of structure and logic.

Many linguists have invariably pointed out that it feels like interpreting classical Chinese, and short sentences contain a huge amount of information, but in the end, it is still a poem full of artistic sense, so it is essentially a historical artifact.

The most specific information is only human biological information, so specific that a human embryo can be cultivated based on data.

However, when this monument fell on the earth, it was still the beginning of life, and human beings did not appear until three billion years later, how did this monument record the biological information of human beings?

All this makes people feel incredible, where did this black monument come from?

To be honest, the moment he saw this monument, Qiao Lu had already roughly guessed the origin of this cultural relic. There is no doubt that it is the human cultural relics that Li Bai Wenming collected as mentioned by the system administrator.

As for how it ended up on the earth, perhaps it was a good thing done by the system, just like the crossing of the wandering earth.

However, after the spirit world returned, the system no longer responded, as if it had completely disappeared.

Therefore, Qiao Lu has no way of knowing how to interpret this black monument, and it is useless to just know the origin.

Naturally, scientists are interested in this black monument, which, among other things, has an absolutely accurate ratio of 1:3:9 on three sides, which is already a reverie, not to mention the meaning of the poem above.

Of course, Ding Yi is very fanatical about it, he knows how difficult the so-called absolute accuracy is, so he knows that this is not an ordinary cultural relic, and its technological content is not as simple as a stone.

The material of the monument is also surprising, generally no matter what is buried in the ground for billions of years, it has long been eroded to the point that it cannot be shaped, and the words engraved on it should also be smoothed.

However, not only are the characters on this black monument still visible, but even the proportions of the three sides are absolutely accurate, which is daunting.

Such a seemingly ordinary stone tablet contains unimaginable magic workmanship, and Ding Yi will certainly not let it go easily.

Li Yiyi, Ding Yi's student and assistant, also helped with various tests. He wasn't so enthusiastic about the monument, thinking it was what archaeologists should do.

The biggest focus at the moment is the ratio of the three sides of the black obeli, why go to such great lengths to make it an absolutely accurate 1:3:9?

In general, things that require absolute precision have a special meaning. For example, the International Kilogram Prototype uses a cylindrical weight made of platinum-iridium alloy to define the standard weight of one kilogram. Even a few micrograms less can no longer be considered a standard.

So what is the purpose of maintaining such accuracy in the three-sided proportions of this black monument?

"Could it be the golden ratio in art? For example, a golden rectangle or something. Li Yiyi proposed.

There is indeed a golden ratio in art, which is an irrational number of (√5-1)/2, which can be approximately equal to 0.618:1, just like pi is generally taken as 3.14.

This ratio is considered to be the most aesthetically pleasing, so it is widely used in art. A rectangle with a ratio of 0.618:1 on both sides is known as a golden rectangle, and many architects design according to this ratio.

Considering that the front of this black monument is also a rectangle, and the poems are engraved with artistic sense, it is natural to think of the golden ratio.

After all, 0.618:1 is just the golden ratio of human civilization, and no one can say whether the golden ratio of an alien civilization will be 1:3:9, and it is difficult to say about aesthetics.

Ding Yi shook his head and said, "Then do you know how the golden ratio came about?" ”

"The golden section, divide a line segment into two parts, so that the ratio of one part to the total length is equal to the ratio of the other part to this part, and the ratio is the same as its reciprocal, the reciprocal of 1.618 is 0.618, and 1.618:1 is the same as 1:0.618."

Li Yiyi's basic knowledge is still very solid, and this problem certainly does not bother him.

Ding Yi taught: "So you, if you just learn without thinking, you will be reckless." Now that you know that the golden ratio is related to mathematics, how can you think that it is just an aesthetic issue? ”

The golden ratio, while universally used in art, is fundamentally a mathematical method.

Its emergence solves many mathematical problems, such as deciles, fifths, circumferences, finding the sine and cosine values of angles of 18 and 36 degrees, etc., and is by no means a purely aesthetic problem.

"The so-called sense of beauty must follow certain laws, and art and mathematics are inseparable. Otherwise, why does everyone who learns to draw have to learn geometry, don't you even understand this? ”

Li Yiyi was so taught by Ding Yi that he couldn't raise his head, and he still casually thought about things too simply.

"So teacher, do you think that this monument is so precisely proportioned in order to convey a certain message?" Li Yiyi asked.

Ding Yi looked up and said, "The most direct guess is that it wants to tell us that the ratio of something is 1:3:9, which may be some kind of formula, which means too much." ”

For example, from decaying uranium to fission-like atomic bombs, to nuclear fusion in the sun, to the annihilation of matter and antimatter, all follow a short formula: E=mc².

If this were some kind of formula, it would be unimaginably great. Just as the golden ratio has many uses in mathematics, as mentioned above, a simple ratio has the potential to be a game-changer.

At this time, the linguists responsible for interpreting the poems on the obeli also made a major discovery, that is, when it comes to numbers, the poems use the decimal system.

Don't take it for granted, the universal use of the decimal system is just a consequence of the biological fact that the vast majority of people are born with 10 fingers.

Just as children often learn math by counting their fingers, this is how the first math was born. In fact, in the written notation system independently developed in the ancient world, almost all of them were decimal except for the wedge-shaped numerals of the Babylonian civilization, which had a decimal system, and the Mayan numerals, which had a base of 20.

Humans take it for granted, but this is not the case for extraterrestrial civilizations, and if an alien race has 8 fingers, it is more likely to be inclined to the octal system, and will be unaccustomed to the decimal system.

This has long been confirmed, the Cybertron civilization directly uses binary, the three-body civilization generally uses the eleventual system, and the singer civilization is even more outrageous 36 decimal system, which may be related to the fact that they do not grow fingers but tentacles.

Therefore, the decimal system cannot be taken for granted, and combined with the human biological information recorded on the obela, and of course the important point of having ten fingers, others have begun to gradually get closer to the truth behind this black obeliary.
