Two days and nights passed quickly, and as soon as Bladetooth returned, on the grounds that it was convenient to unify the size of the clay tablets, the witch doctors proposed to formulate a set of standards for length, and gave their own plans.

He made a long clay tablet based on his height, and prescribed that it was 'm m'. Based on this, the millimeter (mm) (only the concept), the centimeter (cm), and the decimeter (dm) were 'created' according to the decimal system.

Obviously, for the sake of his own convenience, the pronunciation, writing, and abbreviation of the blade teeth are all copied from the previous life.

As for the current 'one meter', the gap between the 'one meter' in the previous life? He didn't really know at all. Even if you subjectively feel that your height is about 'one meter' in your previous life, the change of the object of observation makes all comparisons meaningless.

Who knows if he's a centimeter or 100 meters? But who cares? He didn't care anyway.

Of course, it is not enough to have units, but also to have matching figures.

In the somewhat dazed eyes of the witch doctors, Bladetooth stretched out his hand, compared ten fingers in turn, and then withdrew them all, and wrote a '0', and then he made a gesture in turn, and carved '12345' on the clay tablet;'5', in order to make it clear, he put down the bone pen in his hand without any trouble, and clearly indicated the exact number of fingers with both hands, before picking up the bone pen and carving a '6', and the subsequent '78910'.

Immediately after that, he flipped the '20' twice with both hands, the '30' with three flips, and so on until '100', when he stopped his movements and looked at the witch doctors.

I was a little apprehensive in my heart, although I was accustomed to all this, and the shape of the numbers could also be nonsense, but the expression of '0' and the concept of 'every ten into one', he did not have the ability to explain clearly to others.

Fortunately, the witch doctors are all wise men, and it seems that they don't need to explain further at all to understand these numeric symbols, the definition of distance units, and the profound meaning that comes with them. This can be understood from the change in their faces alone, from dazed to excited, only in an instant.

This made Blade Tooth sigh lightly, liberal arts students who knew it and didn't know why it was true, but they didn't have the ability to teach these things to understand, it would be great if they could understand it themselves.

At this time, the witch doctors shifted their eyes from the clay tablet to Bladefang, as if they wanted to see why this little troll was so special, and they could think of these profound things that could be broken at the first stab, and had more expectations.

"Bladetooth, good! Useful! More? Yes? ”

"Yes, the yard, the house, the size; Slate, carved pen, hand, feeling; The skull of the little wolf, the skull of the big wolf, the water it contains, how much. Fixed, measured. But, there is no hurry. ”

"Hurry! Useful! ”

The old witch doctor didn't agree with Bladetooth, how useless, these things were too useful.

"Difficult. The length is easy to determine; Those, it's hard to determine. ”

"Well, yes, I understand."

"Speaking, too, symbols, is more important."

The witch doctors are worthy of the name of 'wise men', and at the moment when the words of the blade teeth fell, they already understood what he wanted to express, and the oldest witch doctor stroked his beard thoughtfully and said,

"It's harder."

The three witch doctors looked at each other, and they all had expressions of deep approval, 'words' are a good thing, but it is not easy.

"It's hard, but it's useful."

The witch doctors also agreed that the long-standing 'habit becomes natural' does not hide the inconvenience of the current witch doctor inheritance system, and some things can be taken for granted as long as the outermost layer of skin is peeled off. It's okay that the concept of 'words' has not been proposed, but once it is proposed, it will generate yearning.

"I, try."

After receiving the approval of the witch doctors, Bladetooth took a clay tablet and a bone vessel containing water from the side, and slowly poured it on it. After a few moments, when the tablet had softened just enough to carve, he put down the bone, pulled the pen from his waist, and carved symbols on the tablet.

One part is obviously a 'pictogram' with a roughly square structure, and the other part is an imitation of the 'alphabet' system.

No matter how clever the witch doctors were, they could only understand that these were symbols with a certain meaning, and at this moment they were also the next instructions for Baba to wait for Bladefang.

Blade Fang didn't buy it, and pointed to one of the 'pictures' that looked like a tree,

"'tree','shu'"

Characters, not Chinese characters, pictograms; Pinyin,Not any pinyin of the previous life.,Just write it down as an analogy.。

The main purpose of the blade is to show them two ways of determining the written word, one is pictographic and the other is phonetic.

Of course, the pronunciation is still in troll language.

After all, no matter how primitive society is, they already have a clear concept of the names of common objects, and they are correspondingly embodied in language, and it is not appropriate to create them.

Originally, he wanted to transplant the complete modern Chinese in one step, from ligatures to pronunciation, and even grammatical structures.

After all, how convenient is that? He can almost push the troll language in an instant and stride for thousands of years....

However, in the past few days since this thought appeared, whenever he fell asleep at night, there was a... No, it was a myriad of subconscious pieces of knowledge from his subconscious, as if the knowledge he had forgotten in his previous life was converging into a whole and telling him 'don't do this'.

In the middle of the night, he broke out in a cold sweat and began to reflect on his selfishness and recklessness.

Is it really appropriate to transplant Chinese characters and Chinese for your own convenience? Trolls may quickly become powerful, but won't they become a soulless civilization? ..... Is this really what I want? ’

It is only after this painful experience that there is now this kind of superficial push.

He didn't teach them Chinese characters directly, even if it was 'pictographs' or 'alphabet characters', he only gave them a general idea;

Tell them to 'make' it this way, to unify what they have recorded with each other.

The rest is left to the witch doctors.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The witch doctors are intelligent, and their wisdom is indeed not to be underestimated, and they are quick to accept this convenience.

For a long time, they entered a state where their first reaction was to write down whatever they saw.

In the evening, when everyone was done, they began to compare each other with their own 'made' characters, and found out which 'glyph' everyone recognized as the definite 'troll script'.

In this way, it only took a relatively short period of time for the witch doctors to establish a writing system based on the primitive troll language.

Although it was simple, and although the number was still small compared to his previous life, he was finally on the right path.

The excitement gradually cooled down after all the attempts, and the three witch doctors quickly frowned, and the oldest one pondered for a moment and slowly spoke,

"We learn, it's very simple; But warriors, you can't learn for a long time. ”

This is inevitable, even in the hieroglyphic stage, the troll script is quite difficult for tribal trolls who are not witch doctors, but Bladefang feels that they are already very powerful.

But the witch doctors were not satisfied, and they remembered the 'phonetic text' that Bladetooth had exemplified.

"This, well, the warrior can learn!"

The witch doctors who decided to absorb the heads of the two families created a simple 'phonetic alphabet' based on the pronunciation of the existing vocabulary, which cooperated with the ideographic troll script to form a troll writing system that could correct each other.

Seeing that there are so many things to learn in vain, the blade tooth complained silently,

'Can't you escape the fate of learning a foreign language even if you cross over?...'
