Chapter 470: Language
In fact, the process of communication between the other party and himself was a little more tortuous than he imagined. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In Lu Yuan's view, the other party was like a group of scavengers picking up rags, rather than representatives of advanced civilizations. When the guy who seemed to be a human was tinkering for a long time, a sphere-shaped device seemed to be able to unfold a hologram, but less than ten seconds after it was unfolded, a spark rang out, and the holographic projection device was completely scrapped.
Let's just let Lu Yuan name this unknown guy A, and after A threw things on the ground in a decadent manner, he ran to get a mechanical spider, opened the cockpit first, and after a while, he actually pulled out the helmet with a cable inside.
It's a pity that after A looked at Lu Yuan, he had to give up this helmet, because the design of this helmet was definitely not intended for human use, and he couldn't put his head down at all.
Eventually, A had to get into the cockpit of the mechanical spider again, and it removed a display of about 12 inches.
"Huh?"
The dynamic balance technology of the mechanical spider is not inferior to the technical level of the "mechanical public enemy" world, but it is a pity that the display taken out of the cockpit of the mechanical spider must be described in three words: stupid, big and bold, even in terms of the color gamut level and clarity of the display, not to mention that compared with the "mechanical public enemy" world, it is estimated that it is behind the current level of human civilization.
Although the display looks terrible, fortunately, it is absolutely enough to display text, images, and videos.
Then the real exchange began.
Rows of unknown characters appeared on the monitor, not hieroglyphs, but very obvious phonetic characters, with specific characters appearing repeatedly in several paragraphs, and each time only one or two characters at the end were not quite the same, and in the preceding parts they were basically the same.
Lu Yuan speculated that these words should change the endings according to the different pronouns and tenses of the subject, and that the part of these character groups that does not change at the beginning is the stem of the word, and the part that changes later should be different suffixes.
It is indeed very difficult to decipher a completely unknown language, and it will take countless linguists decades or even hundreds of years of time, but if there is a surviving "person" who knows the unknown language, it is much easier to decipher.
At least it was much easier than Lu Yuan imagined.
For example, when Lu Yuan pointed out the sun in the sky, A over there was very clever to understand what it meant, and the corresponding characters appeared on the monitor. Lu Yuan grabbed the sand on the ground and pointed to the sand, and A would also give the corresponding characters and pronunciations.
Of course, Lu Yuan considered that the other party was using phonetic characters, so he gave up the Chinese of ideograms and turned to teach the other party equally in English. And the more he went deeper, the more Lu Yuan found that the phonetic characters used by the other party were similar to English, and according to the character relationships expressed by the other party, he quickly established a table containing all the characters of the other party.
In this table, Lu Yuan can clearly see which characters share the same vowel sound, and which ones share the same consonant, and it didn't take too long for the pronunciation of all the characters on the opposite side to be identified one by one.
Of course, this doesn't mean that you can understand the other person's language right away, it's just the first step in communicative learning.
I have to be glad for another point, which is that A's level of civilization is at least not inferior to that of the earth civilization, and it is the level of being able to have a basic understanding of the universe, which can be seen from the other party's mathematical level. With this foundation, then there will not be too much mistake in the cognition between Lu Yuan and the other party.
After all, Lu Yuan pointed to the sun and indicated that it was a star, but the backward civilization thought that it meant the "sun god". He grabs a handful of sand, and the other party thinks it is a "mother", so that the communication between the two sides will definitely cause considerable problems and frustrations.
After five or six hours of continuous study, Lu Yuan did not feel sleepy...... Not even hunger and thirst are gone.
Completely detached from humans, he can still taste food, but he no longer needs food to replenish his energy. Lu Yuan didn't know if such a life form was common in the universe, but the other party was obviously not a pervert like him.
A and those snake-scale creatures ate an inky black, muddy substance, and seemed to want Lu Yuan to taste it.
Lu Yuan smelled it, there was no peculiar smell, but unfortunately he never wanted to taste it himself, shook his head, and rejected this dark cuisine.
Shake your head in refusal.
A already knew what this posture meant, and with some regret and without hesitation, she licked the black "mud" clean.
Soon, A sent another gift.
The planet rotates quite fast, only 16 to 17 hours of day and night, and when night comes, the temperature drops sharply from forty or fifty degrees Celsius to about ten degrees Celsius.
It is estimated that in A's opinion, Lu Yuan, who is not covered in wisps, should not be able to stand this temperature difference, so he sent a "leather coat" that he was wearing.
Lu Yuan took it curiously, touched the feel, and when he touched it down, the appearance of this dress gave people a leather feeling of cowhide, and when he touched it up, it actually produced the touch of woolen wool, which was very magical.
And when Lu Yuan put this dress on his body, it automatically extended and expanded, and the corresponding one-piece clothes were quickly generated along his body shape.
"It's a nice outfit."
Lu Yuan thought about it for a while and didn't figure out what the principle was, so he simply didn't think about it anymore.
According to his observations in the past five or six hours, there should be only one suspected human individual like A, and there are twenty-five snake-scale creatures, all of which consume a mud-like gadget to replenish their body's water and energy, and sleep only four hours at night, nearly three hours less than normal humans.
Their main work during the day was as Lu Yuan had guessed before, relying on various materials to excavate the huge building, searching for materials and equipment to rely on, food, and so on.
The first time he encountered this kind of extraterrestrial life, Lu Yuan was extremely interested, observing their actions with great interest, and at the same time actively communicating and learning with A.
Since he stopped taking NZT, his brain has returned to its normal level, but after this time his body has undergone earth-shaking changes, Lu Yuan also doesn't know if his brain still follows the cranial neural network...... Hopes are low, after all, his body is no longer even a cellular structure.
All in all, he no longer distinguishes between superficial memories and deep memories, and the memories he has seen, heard, and thought about have all entered the scope of permanent memory.
