"Brother Zhang, it's amazing!" After Zhao Kang read Zhang Dada's research conclusions, he couldn't help but admire.

"To be further confirmed," Zhang Dada smiled, after returning from Houston, he plunged headlong into the study of those alien characters that the people of the United States had made public, and as of today, he had cracked some of them according to the logic of his own reasoning.

"According to the logic you deduced, these words composed of flying points of light represent time and coordinates, so the rest of them should be the ones that haven't been cracked?"

"It's very likely," Zhang Dada nodded, "but the information revealed in these alien texts that have been cracked does not seem to be related to each other, but they were apparently discovered together when the flying saucer crashed." ”

"How's your decipherment software progressing, do you have any new ideas?" Zhang Dada asked Zhao Kang, This hacker expert of the "Yan Group" has been cooperating with Zhang Dada to develop software to crack alien characters since he returned to China, and he has been working overtime these days, and Zhang Dada has not had time to check the progress with him.

"With a little bit of it, you've narrowed down the scope of the meaning of the words a lot, and in turn, it's eased my workload. And you have also said that all the languages known on the earth are records of spoken languages, and many languages may not have a corresponding script, but so far there has been no discovery of a script that does not have a corresponding language. ”

"Yes. Writing is used to record the pronunciation of language, and many people think that Chinese characters are called hieroglyphs because they are used to record shapes, but this is not true. First of all, the number of morphophonetic characters is the largest in Chinese characters, and secondly, only concrete, visible and tangible nouns and verbs can be recorded in pictograms, and other abstract concepts, such as adjectives and adverbs, are difficult to represent in shapes. Zhang Dada said to Zhao Kangpu, "The pronunciation of a linguistic symbol is not related to the meaning of the word, and Saussure, the father of modern linguistics, put forward a point of view that the connection between 'signified' and 'signified' is arbitrary." Here, the 'signifier' refers to the sound image of the linguistic sign, and the 'signified' is the concept behind the linguistic sign. ”

"How do you understand this?"

"Well...... for example, is there a connection between the pronunciation of the word 'dog' and the concept of dog?" Zhang Dada asked.

Zhao Kang shook his head, "No." ”

"If from ancient times to the present, we have used the pronunciation of 'human' to refer to dogs, then we will now say 'there is a lot of traffic for dogs in the Spring Festival every year'."

"Haha!" Zhao Kang was amused by Zhang Dada's example.

"Don't laugh yet," Zhang Dada said, "What I just said, it has a scope, only limited to the earth civilization, you know what I mean." ”

"You're saying that the alien script may have freed itself from the shackles of the earth's script?"

"Apparently so," Zhang Dada nodded.

"Why?" Zhao Kang asked.

"You may have forgotten that the alien who was discovered during the Roswell incident was in the care of Lady Mark Eloy at the Air Force Base, and that Lady mentioned in the letter of writer Lawrence Spencer that aliens do not have organs in their bodies that resemble human mouths, and that they communicate by perceiving the interaction of thoughts and minds."

"Yes, yes, I remember."

"Therefore, the writing characteristics of the earth civilization are obviously different from those of the alien civilization, at least we can clearly know that the writing of the alien civilization does not have its corresponding language, and the language here refers to the spoken language in our cognition." Zhang Dada paused when he said this, he thought for a moment and continued, "The aliens probably think that it is too much to use another auditory system to replicate the visual system. ”

“78°14′09″N 15°29′29″E； 29°58'45.03"N 31°08'03.69"E......," Zhang Dada's cracked coordinates were entered into the computer for query, and Zhao Kang quickly found their exact location.

"Coordinates: 78°14′09"N 15°29′29"E, Novis Valbard, in Longyearbyen, Spitsbürgen...... This coordinate is Norway's doomsday seed bank! Zhao Kang reported the actual location of the first coordinate, and said with some surprise, "It corresponds to 2010, that is, more than two years ago." ”

"Doomsday Seed Bank? What for? Zhang Dada asked.

"It's an ice cellar, we humans keep the seeds of crops from all over the world in it, as a gene bank, to prevent plants from becoming extinct due to natural and man-made disasters, and to preserve seed genes for botanists."

"I see," Zhang Dada nodded.

"It is said that it took nearly $10 million to build, and the temperature inside is kept around minus 18 degrees Celsius all year round. Some seeds can be stored for up to 1,000 years when placed there, and even seeds with strong viability can be stored for tens of thousands of years. The seed vault is also resistant to earthquakes and nuclear weapons, and is very safe. ”

"Coordinates: 29°58'45.03"N 31°08'03.69"E, Cairo, Egypt, in the Giza Heights, about 10 kilometers southwest of Cairo. I'll find out what the place is...... Oh, there you go, the site of the Pyramid of Khufu, which corresponds to 2690 BC. Zhao Kang crackled on the keyboard and reported the relevant information.

"And another?" Zhang Dada asked.

"The other one is in the South Pacific Ocean, roughly between North America, Asia and Australia." Zhao Kang said, "The location of this coordinate seems to be the birthplace of an ancient civilization - Lemuria. ”

"Lemuria?" Zhang Dada had never heard of this word at all.

"The ancient civilization of Atlantis, which was once on some tropical islands, and then the islands sank, of course, the existence of this civilization has been disputed, and its corresponding time is about 800,000 years ago."

Zhao Kang spread his hands towards Zhang Dada, "I didn't find any clue." ”

Zhang Dada touched his chin and fell into deep thought, while Zhao Kang continued to retrieve information related to these coordinates on the computer. After a while, Zhang Dada suddenly said, "I want to go to these places." ”

"What?" Zhao Kang was taken aback and said, "Where are you going?" ”

"The Doomsday Seed Bank, the Pyramid of Khufu, and ...... Well, in the end, forget this, you can't go to the bottom of the sea. Zhang Dada explained, "The coordinates of these places are deciphered by me from alien texts, and there must have been some connection between them and alien civilizations, and I went there to see, on the one hand, I want to confirm whether the results of my decipherment of the words are correct, and on the other hand, I want to continue to dig into the mysteries." ”

"And how do you get there?"

"I need help from the state," Zhang Dada thought for a moment, "and I felt like I had to go, because I might find some important clues." It is very difficult to study a new civilization, and this civilization is still far above the level of the current civilization of our earth, as the saying goes, you can not move a thousand miles without accumulating silicon, so we cannot let go of any clues in the study. ”

"Okay, so when are you going to leave?" Zhao Kang asked.

"Without further ado, I will give feedback to the above today, and the specific departure time depends on how the leaders arrange," Zhang Dada had a certain idea and immediately began to draft the application documents.

"Brother Zhang, before you go, you must consider both safety and climate issues. I've just looked it up, and it's cold and inaccessible in Norway's Doomsday Seed Bank. There are more than 5,000 polar bears on Spitsbergen, more than anyone has ever lived on it. The island's population is relatively concentrated in the west, while the Doomsday Seed Bank is located on the east side of the island, which is often surrounded by polar bears. The Pyramid of Khufu is located in the desert, and I am a little worried that you will not be able to bear it. ”

"You reminded me well, I just thought about going, and I didn't have time to think about these situations." Zhang Dada nodded, and then wrote the matters that need attention to Zhao Kang's reminder into the application report.

Zhao Kang is developing a software to decipher alien scripts, and because he has never been in contact with advanced civilizations in the universe before, his product development progress is very slow. Although there are only a few of the first texts deciphered by Zhang Dada, it has opened a breakthrough for him, just like when humans start to contact 1, 2, and 3 when they learn mathematics, this first step is very important and significant.

With the text that has been deciphered, Zhao Kang can analyze the differences and characteristics from it, and find out the logic and laws through comparison. He was a little excited, and he was also supportive of Zhang's plans to go to Norway and Egypt.

His only concern was Zhang Dada's safety, the two were now friends and partners in a joint research project, and if something happened to Zhang Dada, Zhao Kang's project to develop decipherment software might have to go down the drain.

"If your plan of action is approved, you can tell me, and I will find Yuan Fang to prepare something for you."

"Prepare what?" Zhang Dada raised his head and asked.

"I'll think about it first and see what you can use over there, anyway, the things made by Lao Yuan are quite practical, when I was in North America before, Liu Jiajun said it was very good."

"Okay," although Zhang Dada didn't know what Yuan Fang would prepare for him, Liu Jiajun was able to use his fists and kicks when he was in North America, and it was said that the tools provided by Yuan Fang for him were indispensable.

"If only Liu Jiajun and Meng Jie weren't injured, otherwise they would be safer with you. ......Hey," Zhao Kang sighed, "There are only a few brothers in the security department of the 'Yan Group', and they hurt both of them at once, and they have a headache." Master Wu definitely can't go to those places at this age, Wu Zhe doesn't go out alone now, but if he goes outside, it will be difficult to support himself. ”

"Someone to protect me?" Zhang Dada was stunned for a moment, he thought of Chen Bin's brothers, but Wei Qiming's sacrifice in the United States made Zhang Dada worried.

It's not appropriate to drag the brothers to a dangerous place, everyone was born and died together and finally broke out of the sea of corpses and corpses, and now they have settled down in Chongming, it is the time when the bitterness comes, and it will be a pity for anyone to die.

"This seems to be quite troublesome," Zhang Dada muttered to himself.
