Chapter 1548: Number Concept, Fourth Kind of Contact
"Woo whoa, whoa!"
"Woo whoa, whoa!"
The two fishmen communicated for a long time, and Xia Duo couldn't understand what they were talking about, and reluctantly from a human point of view, guessing that it might be asking about identity or inviting guests or something.
The "chicken-and-duck talk" as the saying goes, "chickens and ducks" in his hometown, is more or less the current situation, and it reminds Xia Duo of the various situations that may arise when humans communicate with aliens as imagined by scientists in his hometown.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo suddenly became playful, took out a handful of gold coins from his personal space, and then placed five piles of gold coins in front of the two fishmen in the order of the number and order of "1, 2, 3".
Mainly when he was still on Earth, there was often a saying in science fiction that "mathematics can be used to communicate with aliens".
After setting up the five piles of gold coins, the eyes of the two leading fishmen widened a lot, and Ula Ula said a lot, but Xia Duo didn't understand a word.
However, he can communicate with mathematics.
I saw him take out a handful of gold coins from his space again, almost ten of them, and then he gently pushed the previous set of gold coins from 1 to 5 to bring it closer to the two leading fishmen.
After that, he pushed the dozen or so gold coins together, and then pointed to the position behind the "5" and made two random gestures.
The two-fishman really understood, manipulated the current to roll up ten gold coins, counted six of them, and then pushed behind the "5", followed by another "woo woo woo wow".
"One Sword Alone"
But it's a pity that Xia Duo still didn't understand, but he did understand the fishman's movements, and knew that 5 was followed by 6, at least two points, one is that the fishman knows how to count, and the other is that the fishman is willing to communicate.
Just as Xia Duo was about to continue trying to communicate further, the leader of one of the tribes, the fish-man, suddenly shoved a gold coin into his mouth.
The standard gold coin of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce is not pure gold, but an alloy mixed with silver, which cannot be said to be particularly hard, but it is certainly much harder than pure gold and pure silver.
Not to mention that the metal itself is stronger than Baker, bone, and stone, and the fish-man spit out the gold with a "wow", but the next moment he desperately grabbed it.
Together with the "12345" gold coins that were originally used for demonstration, the other leading fishman saw this, not to be outdone, and stepped forward to snatch it.
So, an inexplicable farce was staged in front of Xia Duo so inexplicably.
Not only the two leading fishmen, but the rest of the fishmen also began to fight against each other, but the two large water elements that "surrounded" Xia Duo have not moved until now, but they seem a little dazed.
At this moment, Xia Duo seemed to remember a spell in his ears - "You guys don't fight anymore~"
Whether the initial trigger for the two tribes to fight each other was to fight for territory, control the population, or to obtain corpses to reclaim the land, countless years of fighting must have long since become an indelible hatred.
Even if there is an outsider like Xia Duo present, he can fight on the spot for a little thing!
……
Seeing that there were casualties as soon as the two sides fought, and two teams of fishmen rising again in the two tribal settlements below, Xia Duo knew that his mathematical exchange was over.
"Stop!"
The psychic communication mixed with the deterrent effect caused the two teams of fishmen who were in the middle of the battle to stop immediately, and at the same time, Xia Duo let go of the control of the effect of the bloodline majesty, and the teleportation announced:
"This is my territory, and you will be my people!"
This message is not only addressed to the two teams of fishmen who are fighting, but also to the two fish-man tribes on the island below.
Psychic information can trace the past of all concepts, similar to the built-in translation software, and at the same time, this "translation software" itself contains a lot of information, which is very suitable for communication in the context of language barriers.
Of course, for the sake of the fish-man's relatively small brain size, Xia Duo did not carry too much or too complicated information in this message, but simply described the relationship between "territory", "people" and "lord".
It's almost as simple as "I'm strong", "listen to me", "eat and stay".
……
After a dead silence, two fishmen wrapped in water elements rushed out from the two tribes below.
The two fishmen overtook the second group of departures almost instantly, and then galloped all the way up, finally performing an emergency stop operation in front of Xia Duo.
"Woo whoa, whoa!"
"Woo wow wow wow wow!"
Compared to the other fishmen, the bodies of these two fishmen are stronger, and at the same time, there are bursts of water surging around their bodies unconsciously, of course, their words, Xia Duo still can't understand.
But it doesn't matter, there is a psychic spell, and Xia Duo is not worried about communication.
"Don't resist - you can communicate."
After the re-arraignment, the two fishmen shook their heads repeatedly, but Xia Duo speculated that their shaking of their heads might mean that they agreed, after all, they had no necks, and their heads were connected to their bodies, so they couldn't nod.
Spell Casting - Mind Link!
In order to facilitate communication, it is more convenient to use a psychic link that can be maintained for a long time, rather than a trial spell that tortures the prisoner.
After the spell was completed, Xia Duo immediately sensed two weak consciousness lines, and at the same time, a large amount of consciousness information was continuously radiating from those two consciousnesses.
There is no need to carefully analyze at all, this part of the information is automatically diverted, mainly divided into two parts, one is mainly surprise and joy, and the other is mainly suspicious and vigilant, and the two sides are not distinguished.
This seems to be the attitude of the fish-people towards themselves.
"Do you have any questions for you?" Xia Duo asked in the Psychic Link.
"Really?"
"Lots of food?"
"Didn't you lie to us?"
"What are you?"
"Are you strong?"
"What's out there in the world?"
……
In an instant, the psychic link was almost crowded with questions from two curious babies, and apart from the twisted phantom, it was the first time that Xia Duo had seen a creature with such weak psychic protection.
In addition to these problems, which are related to Xia Duo, due to the priority of consciousness communication, they are more unrelated to Xia Duo, including how to fight, how to eat, and even how to communicate with the water element.
Chado found that psychic connections are not suitable for creatures that do not have a subconscious or a clear boundary between the subconscious and the apparent conscious, and once connected to these creatures, it is simply a never-ending storm of information.
It may be more convenient to communicate with these creatures in the form of "torture".
Fortunately, Xia Duo is not only passively receiving conscious information, he can also filter and even prioritize information.
After eliminating a lot of useless information, Xia Duo only answered two questions, in the form of practical actions-
One is about strength, Xia Duo expelled the two large water elements that "surrounded" him back to his hometown with a flip of his hand;
The other is about food, or survival, he directly transforms a stone in the water, and at the same time takes out two steamed buns from his personal space and gently pushes them towards the two fish people.
