Chapter 724: Ancient Civilization
The best way to crack words is to find words that know the meaning and are close to them. Cracking the text is the same as cracking the code, in the early days, it was like walking in a swamp, and the steps were difficult. But once you know a certain amount of meaning, then, you are not far from building a writing system. Once the text system is constructed successfully, this means that the cracking is complete.
Zhang Ye's cracking is closer to the original meaning, "They started from a small tribe, and then united, developed over hundreds of years, and became the fourth powerful country in ancient times." ”
Zhang Ye was puzzled, "Aren't there only three major empires, ancient." ”
"And the fourth, if you have studied the archaeology of the three great empires, then you will find that for a period of time, there was a great king of Amash who appeared very frequently. If it is only an ancient enemy record, then, it may be in that ancient empire, but the three ancient empires are recorded like this, then, obviously, he exists. To be able to get the ancient empires to recognize it as great, even if it is at least equal to their power, that is, the Fourth Reich is not an exaggeration. ”
"The ancient Fourth Reich Kadi Stone was known for its weapons of war, and they strictly controlled the population. Carefully grated, look, their chariots. "The appearance of the chariot carved on the stone slab above the library, Zhang Ye thought it was very ordinary.
"Yes, you might feel dismissive, so let's dig in. ”
For this city, the city that still exists, began to be excavated.
Finally digging up something much older, that is.
"Ahhhh......h
There was a sound that roared in the ears. Not only Zhang Ye heard it, but also the other digging soldiers and the generals on patrol also heard it. Then the news reached Queen Mary, who was shocked, "Sure enough, it's a legend, and the legend is true." ”
Zhang Ye was curious, "What are you talking about, isn't the legend a weapon of war?" I believe that it is impossible for the weapons of war to rule the world, unless, it can destroy the world. ”
Mary said to him, "Yes, it is the one who can destroy the world." ”
"Look, decipher the most primitive information:"
It says that the gods fell to the mortal world and destroyed the world in just a moment. ”
Zhang Ye saw it, but he found this kind of writing even more difficult to understand, and Zhang Ye couldn't help asking, "What kind of text is this?" ”
"It's hieroglyphs, it's the original, the most primitive, and also, the most informative. See no, here spend this symbol, and then point to yourself, which means meant. ”
Zhang Ye nodded, "Understood." ”
"And then, this eye, seeing a deer, you know what it means. ”
Zhang Yeba said after thinking, "It means that a person sees a deer." "Because this one is obvious. But, if that's the case, he's wrong. Mary said, "No, that's not what it meant. ”
Zhang Ye was curious, "What did you mean at that time?" ”
"That's what it means to think. ”
"Forehead ......" Zhang Ye couldn't believe it, seeing a deer in his eyes meant thinking. However, it suddenly occurred to him that it was true, because glasses see things, and they can think. In ancient times, deer was prey, and it was normal to see a deer, think, and then go hunting. It is also true to say that it is thinking.
"Why have they become what they are today? There is only one answer, they are not the descendants of the Caddy Stone, they are the people who lived here later. Queen Mary's eyes looked wise.
"Hahaha, is that really the case," Zhang Ye didn't think so.
"What, don't you think so. ”
"I found that some of the walls were red. ”
"I also found that it was an ancient proof that a long time ago, a layer of strong man paint was applied. ”
Zhang Ye shook his head, "On the contrary, I don't think so, I think that this place has been burned by fire." ”
"What, it can't be, it's cold here, it snows for three months of the year, and even in summer, the sun is like the sun in winter everywhere else. It is only at noon in summer that you can feel the true warmth of the sun. ”
Zhang Ye, "Is it?"
"yes, don't you think it's a little cold here. ”
Zhang Ye said, "I don't think so." ”
"Your physique is really powerful, you deserve to be like a general. ”
Zhang Ye thinks that if this is a compliment to him, then it is really boring. Because he didn't feel anything at all, but he still pretended to be a superficial effort. After all, Queen Maria is now his boss, so, smile.
Maria: "You and Luci continue to crack. ”
Zhang Ye: "Okay. ”
After receiving Zhang Ye's reply, Maria left.
Zhang Ye and Lu Ju studied together. Regarding hieroglyphs, Zhang Ye admits that Lu Ji knows more than her. Lu Ju seems to be an expert in this area, "See, this represents the mouth." ”
"But, no matter how I look at it, I want a moon,"
"Yes, it looks like the moon, but, don't you notice, is he in some form, you can look at it from the side, isn't it just half of the lips,"
Zhang Ye nodded, "Well, yes." He said to himself, "It seems that what Mary knew, Luchu had told." Otherwise, Queen Mary would not have been able to put it on ancient texts for so many things. Because, it must take a lot of time to research, and more importantly, interest. And Mary's interest is the broadest, the territory.
Zhang Ye, "I think this civilization is just like that." ”
"You see, this is the unearthed chariot, what do you notice. ”
Zhang Ye looked at it for ten minutes and nodded, "I noticed that he is not the same as the current chariot. ”
"Yes, his wheels are in the middle, which is more stable and allows for one more ride. Our fried wheels are in the back, which is equivalent to dragging, and only two people can be used. Stability is not as stable as the wheels in the middle. ”
Zhang Ye said, "So, why don't we design the chariot in the same way."
"Hehe," said Maria, "I tell you, such a chariot is worth a million. ”
"It's so expensive. ”
"Well, one alpaca gold is worth a million now. My fairy's duke's kingdom has a tax of only 10 million a year, and you can get both, how valuable it is, isn't it. ”
"Yes, I think so. Lu Ju said to Zhang Ye, "There is a secret to the crack here, you see here, and here." ”
"What is it?"
Lu Ju made a horrified face, "Human civilization was born of fear. ”
"You mean......" Zhang Ye vaguely felt something, and there was a little panic. Luke continued, "It's a sacrifice." ”
"Human sacrifice?"
"That's right," said Luke, "because, of God." Natural disasters can take human lives and even destroy cities. So, the ancient people, taking this method, thought that they could appease the wrath of the heavens. ”
Zhang Ye said, "This is completely impossible, because there is no such thing as a god. ”
"You're also an atheist. ”
Zhang Ye: "Well, yes, I don't believe in those demons and monsters the most. ”
"Me too, very disbelieving in superstitions. Superstition makes people unhealthy. ”
"Yes, superstition is really bad, those blood sacrifices are really big. ”
"Uh-huh. Both agreed that if the sacrifice was human, it was a very tragic thing.
"Blood, human sacrifice, civilization comes from fear!"
"Look, this one was cut off with a stone knife, no, it wasn't broken at the time,"
Think of a picture of a man whose head was not broken, but whose cervical vertebrae were almost broken, because the cartilage was joined together, and there was no complete separation of the mind, and then the ground was covered in blood.
From the lower level of the library, one corpse after another was excavated.
"They all had their heads cut off and their brains drained. ”
"What kind of person is so cruel. ”
The archaeologists involved in the excavation were in a panic. Because, this is really miserable. For archaeologists, they believe that ancient bones, like people today, yes, in their seriousness, even ancient cars, they will feel that they are now. It's because of the emotion that is infused with it. Only in this way will malice absorb the vast and chaotic knowledge and become an archaeologist like an omniscient prophet. If archaeology is a profession, then the pay and treatment are at the top.
Zhang Ye, "Haha, it's really good, I discovered the secret of the ancient civilization." ”
"Have you really discovered the secret of the Caddy Stone?"
Zhang Ye nodded to Lu Jue, "Yes." "Zhang Ye he from a mysterious artifact, is a terracotta figurine. This terracotta figurine is not a human, it is a model airplane.
"But why is the model of the airplane the head, you say it's an airplane, what is an airplane? ”
Zhang Ye said, "Airplanes fly in the sky. ”
"Aren't birds flying in the sky? ”
"Yes, it's the birds"
Zhang Ye said, "Almost." "It turned out that they didn't know what an airplane was. Well, the ancient civilization is not necessarily backward from the current civilization.
"You say that there are people on the plane and people on the birds, isn't that a fairy? ”
Zhang Ye said, "You know, those are immortals. ”
"That's right, it's a god, all kinds of gods, the meaning of immortal is added later, immortal is a very limited, unrestrained god. They don't have any rules on them, they do whatever they want. ”
"Isn't that amazing. ”
"yes, they're just pretty good. ”
Zhang Ye shook his head, "I don't think it's that simple." ”
"Why," Lu Jue was stunned.
Zhang Ye said, "Immortals need mortals to do it. ”
"Ah, you mean, the gods are just like us. ”
Zhang Ye said, "That's right, immortals are also flesh and blood, and they are not necessarily much stronger than you." ”
"I don't necessarily agree with this," Lu Ju said, "According to records, immortals can do things that they understand, but we basically can't do them." ”
Zhang Ye said, "So, let me ask you if the immortals eat." ”
Lu Ju thought for a while and said, "Although there are rumors that immortals do not eat fireworks, more murals reflect that immortals also eat, but they support it." There are also the kings of the four empires, all of whom are one man and god, that is, the embodiment of God, but they still eat. ”
Zhang Ye said, "Then, you can understand it this way, immortals can be mortals. ”
"Therefore, even immortals still need to be done by mortals. ”
Zhang Ye said helplessly, "That's right. Actually, he wanted to have a deeper meaning, but it seemed that even if he said it, he wouldn't necessarily understand it.
"When the ancient civilization was left with only intractable hieroglyphs, we have been deciphering it for three years. "In the past three years, Maria has been very unhappy, her territory has been occupied more than she has occupied. In other words, the strength is being consumed.
Mary was very anxious, "No, if I can't untie it again, my international love will be turbulent." ”
Zhang Yedao, "Why turmoil,"
"Because of the war, the price of food has risen dramatically. I'm already selling precious metals to feed the army. It won't last long. Mary's expression was very distressed.
Zhang Ye didn't even think about it, he already had the answer. "What I want to say is, if it's exactly what you say, then we're not going to do it now. ”
Mary looked at her for a tael, "What is the meaning of not doing one and not doing two?" ”
Zhang Ye pointed to the point, "You can move the capital and gather the treasures together." ”
"What, you don't know, the future is a very unworthy thing. ”
Zhang Ye asked, "Oh, really?"
"Yes. Mary explained, "According to the historical records of the kingdom, the relocation of the capital did not end well. My ducal dukedom has moved its capital many times in history, but all of them have failed. In the end, they all came back, back to the banks of the great Ahe River. ”
Zhang Ye, "If you really don't stop listening to my advice, then you will face a very difficult thing to deal with." ”
"yes, you said I had something very difficult to deal with. ”
Zhang Ye nodded, "Yes, for example, if you don't move the capital, it will be very difficult in terms of supplies." Zhang Ye analyzed the map of the Marian Empire and knew that the capital of Mary, Ahuanghe, was far away from the city of grain development. Peacetime does not feel anything, but once it enters the phase of war, then, it is nothing to think that war is more than food battles. If you don't have enough food, you will die. Food is particularly important.
"I just want to eat potatoes. ”
"I want shredded potatoes. ”
Two people say that the food is the same. Zhang Ye eats shredded potatoes because shredded potatoes have a crispy and delicious feeling. And Lu Ju chose potatoes, which have a very durable feeling of powder.
"You foodies," said Mary, as she came to the tent belonging to the two of them.
Lute: "Mary, you're here. ”
Zhang Ye: "Hello Queen. ”
"What I want to tell you is that the decisive battle is coming up, do you have anything to say? ”
"Is it finally going to be a decisive battle between the five dukes, very good. That's it. ”:
"You're gloating. ”
"No, it is. ”
After they finished speaking, Zhang Ye got to the point, "Queen, can you explain the details?" ”
Maria, "It has always been agreed that if it is won, it will temporarily rule the five dukedoms." Becoming the ruler of the first generation, this is a rotation of dynasties, and then the other dynasties are replaced one by one according to the ratio of combat power. However, the dukedoms were autonomous and could only have absolute power in terms of absolute interests or crises. If the request is too much, you can choose not to accept it. ”
"It's nothing," Zhang Ye said, "It feels like a war-free card after the war." ”
Maria nodded approvingly to Zhang Ye, "Yes, that's right. If you continue to fight, your national strength will be greatly reduced, and even if any country wins in the end, it will not be a real victory, and it will be invaded by the forces next to you. This is all predictable. ”
Zhang Ye said, "I agree with this statement. ”
"That's good, there is a general in this battle, and I will appoint you as a general. ”
Zhang Ye said, "Yes, but, excuse me, how many people can I bring." ”
"A total of 300,000 people. ”
"What, this is a decisive battle for 300,000 people, a one-off?"
"That's right, the limit on the number of troops to be put in is 300,000 men, one at a time, and in a dogfight. ”
"How is this going to be fought," Lu Ju said with a stunned expression. For he could not believe what it would be like for each of the five kingdoms to bring out 300,000 troops, a total of 1.5 million men, to fight together. It's almost like the mountains and rivers are broken. The battles recorded in history are only in the tens of thousands, and at most hundreds of thousands. Basically, there are no millions. However, tens of millions, hundreds of millions. That must be an exaggeration, because the population of ancient times was very small, and there were so many people without looking at that.
Lu Ju joined the army, and he reported Zhang Ye's situation at any time. Apparently Maria did not fully believe in Zhang Ye. Seeing Zhang Ye's unstable expression, he couldn't help but comfort: "Brother Zhang Ye, calm down." He thought that Zhang Ye was scared, after all, this was a war of millions of people, and this was definitely a shocking battle.
Zhang Ye, "I'm calm. Seeing Lu Jue's hesitant expression, Zhang Ye said again, "Really, I'm calm." "Yes, he's calm. Suffice it to say, the more difficult things are, the more they calm him down. Because only by being calm can we solve problems more quickly and correctly. Otherwise, if you don't calm down, you will not only get stuck in your train of thought, but what is more terrible is that you will think of the wrong direction. It doesn't matter if you get stuck in your train of thought, if you make a wrong decision, it's fatal. Because mistakes, wars, wrong decisions, is defeat.
"I don't think you have to be so nervous. ”
"I said, I'm not nervous. Don't disturb me, Luci. ”
"Okay, Brother Zhang Ye, I'll go out first. ”
Zhang Ye was the only one left in the tent. To say that you are not nervous is a bit self-defeating. Because he knew that if the price of defeat was to be confiscated, his kingdom would be confiscated. He fell for Mary's scheme again, this trick is only vicious, although it may not be trivial to Mary, but an autonomous province that has been finally obtained has to be handed over, and he is not willing to give it up. That's right, because of the attack on that ancient city, Kadi Stone, Zhang Ye got Maria's promise, and an autonomous province was in his hands.
