Chapter 390 The Library and the Myth of China
It's amazing, Li Yu believes that it is impossible for nature to evolve such a plant. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Its leaves, when dried, are as soft as treated fur.
In order to write on this leaf, the merchant used a characteristic pigment, like ink from ancient China.
"I believe that the palace of Shang must have a library." After discovering the page, Li Yu trusted his original judgment even more.
The page of the book is Li Yu's name for the leaves.
The king of Shang continued to discuss state affairs with his courtiers, and Li Yu was no longer interested in this, so he returned the leaves to the king, and then left the palace hall with Sun Yixuan.
"Li Yu, you said that the natural world will really exist, the leaves we saw just now?"
Sun Yixuan also took the leaf in her hand just now and played with it, and her feeling was similar to Li Yu.
"It should be an artificially cultivated product, and I found a lot of unnatural factors in its tissue."
"Among them, there are many traces left by spells."
Sun Yixuan suddenly realized, "This is also the work of a wizard?" ”
"That's right."
Leaving the main hall, Li Yu walked towards a certain palace in the palace. When he was holding the leaf just now, he had already released a sensing spell.
A palace with a large number of book pages was sensed by Li Yu.
"Li Yu, who would go to such great lengths to bring human beings from hundreds of millions of light years to this place and build a solar system?"
Sun Yixuan believes that this is completely superfluous.
Even Li Yu can't replicate a galaxy now.
This shows from the side how high the technological level of the unknown existence that brought human beings from the earth to this place is.
The Heavenly District-level civilization that Li Yu knew couldn't do this.
"Could it be that it was done by the super-heavenly region-level civilization that we guessed?"
Listening to Sun Yixuan's words, Li Yu shook his head, "The super-heaven region-level civilization is just a guess on our part. ”
"The development of civilization is always forward. Most of those who have stagnated have perished. ”
"It can be inferred from this that there is a super-heavenly region-level civilization in this universe."
"However, there is no evidence to prove that our guess is correct."
"So, don't jump to any conclusions."
Sun Yixuan doesn't understand, is there any other possibility?
After thinking about it for a long time, Sun Yixuan never had a clue.
However, Sun Yixuan stopped thinking about this because they had already arrived at the library of the palace.
The guards of the library hall ignored Li Yu's existence as usual.
All the buildings of the royal palace have only one floor, and the library hall is no exception.
The door of the library hall was locked, which did not stump Li Yu.
From the outside, the library hall is not large, but inside, Li Yu found that the library hall in the Shang Palace, but the internal space is very large.
It was not Shang who mastered the space spell, but Shang's architect, and the ingenious design, which made the space inside the library much larger.
Inside the library hall, there are not many books in the collection, which may be because of the Shang dynasty. I believe that with the passage of time, the library hall, which seems a little empty, will be filled with pages.
"What a book!" Sun Yixuan originally thought that the library hall should be full of pages.
But looking around, Sun Yixuan found that most of the shelves in the library hall were books.
Books are made from processed pages.
The merchant took the widest and most complete part of the middle of the page, processed it and made it into a small page ten centimeters long and five centimeters wide.
On one side of the small pages, one centimeter apart, a hole was drilled and then braided with string.
A book-to-page book consists of about thirty to fifty pages.
"Haha, Li Yu, the feel of these books is really surprising!" Sun Yixuan flipped through the books in her hand and couldn't put them down.
Li Yu also picked up a book.
This is a book that records the minerals and landforms of the Shang Kingdom, with simple illustrations drawn on it, and with just a few strokes, the material to be described is vividly displayed.
"It feels really good." Li Yu agreed with Sun Yixuan's opinion, and the processed pages felt better.
"The development of civilization here is very distinctive, but there are no such books on the earth." Li Yu raised the book in his hand.
"You must know that in the pre-Qin era of the earth, there were many myths and legends, and at that time, there was still a lot of life energy on the earth, and some myths and legends may not be groundless."
"However, no similar items have been found on Earth."
It is true that nothing like the pages of a book has been found on Earth.
"Why is there no discovery on Earth? Did it never appear, or did it not survive? Sun Yixuan asked Li Yu, Li Yu had investigated the history of human civilization on the earth, and if there were similar discoveries, Li Yu would definitely know.
"So far, we haven't found any."
Li Yu was on the earth, and he really couldn't find that there were magic items and relics on the earth.
The reason why it was not found is that, on the one hand, this aspect of the matter is not in the precursor sequence of laboratory research. On the other hand, Li Yu discovered the fact that life energy had appeared on the earth, which was a bit late.
When I was on Earth, the research tasks of the laboratory, as time passed, became more and more intense.
After a little testing, Li Yu found that the books in his hands could be preserved for thousands of years if they did not encounter accidents.
Based on this calculation, even if there are still spell relics on the earth, it is possible that after the life energy disappears, it may lose its spell properties and become ordinary items.
This makes it even more difficult to tell.
"So, if the life energy on Planet One suddenly disappears, the books in our hands won't be kept for too long, right?" Sun Yixuan said thoughtfully.
"There's nothing wrong with that. Spell items, which last longer than normal items, but are more dependent on the presence of life energy. ”
"If there is no life energy, spell artifacts will oxidize faster than ordinary items."
"I have a guess. I used to think that in the novels collected by Wanbai, in the stories, the immortals of ancient China seem to use golden books and jade books to record information. ”
"Is there any basis for this statement?"
Sun Yixuan remembered that several novels that Lin Wanbai had highly recommended, and the descriptions of immortals in them contained this aspect.
"Golden Book and Jade Book? It may be possible because jade is a substance that has a higher affinity for life energy than other substances. ”
"But gold, a metal, can be preserved for a longer time because of its strong oxidation resistance, but its affinity for life energy is not as good as that of jade."
"Therefore, it is very likely that jade was the carrier of information that the early mages of the earth, or more precisely, the mages of Huaxia liked."
It is possible that jade was a 'book' used by mages in the early days of China, and this statement did not surprise Sun Yixuan.
If the mages also used paper, Sun Yixuan would be surprised.
Although paper is easy to write, it does not carry as much as the content of the letter.
Mages used jade to record information, certainly not on paper, which was written on the surface of the jade in ink.
For example, a computer can hold all the books in a library, and the role of jade is a computer for storage.
The advantage of using jade as an information storage carrier is that it can store a large amount of information. The disadvantage is that once the energy supply is lost, all the information stored in the jade will disappear.
In this respect, jade does not necessarily have the information recorded on paper for a long time.
Shay paper has been found on the earth thousands of years ago, and the paper used by the ancient Egyptians has been preserved for a long time.
Of course, jade itself can be preserved much longer than paper.
Hearing Li Yu's analysis, Sun Yixuan was a little disappointed.
Chinese people, both adults and children, have heard the stories of the gods.
When she heard that it was possible to find something left by the immortals, Sun Yixuan was still a little happy, but after Li Yu's analysis, she found that it was impossible, so she was lost.
"Li Yu, if we find the jade that was used as a book by the early mages, can you recover the information in it?"
