Chapter 12: Difficulties

The "shame" that Xue Bufan said, Chen Feng had never heard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is a piece of news that only circulates in the shadows.

Guling Cliff has spent nearly six hundred years interpreting and updating the history and text of the demon clan. And after the recent change in the attitude of the dragon clan and the contact between the human race and the renewal demon race, the renewal demon race naturally also sent an enlightenment book in its own language.

Then, something awkward happened.

Seventy percent of the interpretations of Gu Ling Cliff are wrong.

In fact, this can't be blamed on Gu Ling Cliff. Because, there are not many relics left by the update demon clan, and there is even less information.

In addition, as an acquired social creature, the thinking of the renewing demon race and the human race is really similar in some aspects.

- I haven't heard of any immortal cave mansion that will leave enlightenment books and dictionaries for later "destined people".

It is based on this idea that the renewal demon clan left a lot of materials for later civilizations when they evacuated Shenzhou in an orderly manner, but they forgot to leave an enlightenment book. This led to a huge deviation in the interpretation of the ancient spirit cliff in updating the demon clan's text.

No one in the Immortal Alliance blamed Gu Lingya, because the difficulty of deciphering unfamiliar words was already terrifying.

However, many of the core monks of the Ancient Spirit Cliff felt that this was a shame for the sect.

If you want to decipher an "unfamiliar" text, the most important way is to find a path from "concrete" to "abstract".

If a living person who is proficient in an unfamiliar language points to a concrete object and tells the researcher how that thing should be represented in words, then the researcher can easily build a database of words, and then retrieve these words from some texts, and then infer the meaning of the remaining abstract words according to the context.

And some textual enlightenment textbooks also have this effect. Many of the texts are illustrated with pictures and pictures, which can make a connection between "abstraction" and "concreteness".

Therefore, whether there is a linguistic legacy or an enlightenment book legacy, it can be used as an important breakthrough in the analysis of unfamiliar languages.

And if you don't have both, it's very difficult. Unless you can find a text that already knows the meaning.

The famous "Rosetta Stone" on the earth is this special kind of "text". It inscribes exactly the same content in three texts: Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs, Ancient Egyptian Cursive, and Ancient Greek. And the ancient Greek text has not been lost on the earth, so this stele has become a breakthrough to decipher the ancient Greek text.

If there is no evidence at all, it is basically impossible to decipher an unfamiliar text. This is even more difficult to decipher than the "code".

Because, behind each text, it has gone through thousands of years of iteration, and finally developed from simple signifiers and logic to a complex and complex system. The absurd technique of "counting which characters appear the most in this language, and then correspondingly to the commonly used words in the human language" cannot appear in reality.

The reason why the Terrans and the Poseidon were able to communicate in a short period of time was because the Terrans used "logic" to directly construct a new intermediate language that could be understood by both parties. Strictly speaking, the Poseidon did not learn the Terran language at that time, and the Terrans did not learn the communication method of the Poseidon class.

"Although 'wisdom' is a fair thing, there are so many possibilities for 'wisdom' that you and I can imagine. Xue Bufan said: "Never think that you can understand an unfamiliar wisdom without bias when you don't know it completely." ”

Chen Feng remembered the antique porcelain he didn't put together when he was a child. He didn't say anything, but walked over himself, picked up a knot, and braided it.

If you want to understand the Wu people, you must know more.

..................................................................................................................................................................

Due to the long nights that are much longer than the earth, the plants of Tianwu generally contain a special long-chain sugar. This long-chain sugar is more stable than the common glucose and starch in China, almost will not be consumed due to things other than respiration, and the oxidation is very slow, which can make plants better survive the long night.

This also makes the plants taste rough and lack sweetness in the mouths of the Terrans - since the evolutionary route is completely unrelated, the creatures of the Divine State simply do not have the enzymes to break down this sugar.

This sugar, like glucose, is the basis for life activities. Perhaps it is the existence of this sugar, and the other polysaccharide molecules in the Tianwu plant are also different from those in Shenzhou. For example, a certain polysaccharide that plays the role of "cellulose" in Tianwu is tougher and stronger than Shenzhou's cellulose, and it is more difficult to destroy.

It can be said that all plants on this planet have the conditions to become "rope" materials.

It is no wonder that the means of knotting ropes on this planet are so developed.

Fresh ropes, most of which have strong toughness, are not easy to knot. Twist this rope and get the right torque to make the knot more suitable for deformation. At this point, it takes dexterous fingers to direct this force, direct it in the most appropriate direction, let the twist close, and create the knot.

After about an hour, Tatsukaze began to wonder the meaning of what he was doing.

Even if they knew the Wu tribe's knotting technique, the human race could not completely restore the Wu tribe's skills. After all, the Terrans only have two hands, one with only five fingers, while the Wu have four hands, each with seven fingers. In addition, it is said that there is a muscle at the base of the palm of the Wu tribe that has been alienated into something like a wrist and foot, and it is said that it can also assist in knotting.

There are many knots that the Wu clan can tie, and the human race cannot reproduce them at all.

Xue Bufan was very calm, and he had been kneading those hemp ropes before tying them into proper knots.

"Don't give up, the Tong Daoyou of Wanfa Gate is trying to get from ...... What is it? It seems that the perspective of 'shape' or something changes the knotting method of the Wu tribe to make it more suitable for the hands of the human race. Xue Bufan said.

Chen Feng was a little surprised: "Wanfa Sect actually studies this?"

"There seems to be a special theory...... When I heard that the Ethereal Palace was created, there were many less convincing atomic structures in history, one of which said that the shape of the atom was determined by the axis of the vortex circle in the center, and the axis could be knotted, and different knots represented different atoms. At that time, there were people from the Unification League who studied the 'knot'. Later, this model was eliminated, but the theory remained. ”

- Do Wang Qi and Yuka understand this......

Such a thought flashed through Chen Feng's heart. In his opinion, Wang Qi's level of arithmetic is too high to be said, and it may even be higher than Ai Qinglan's achievements in the way of living souls. It's just in Tatsukaze's impression...... Wang Qi's research field is not compatible with this at all......?

Xue Bufan asked, "What's wrong?"

"I do know a very powerful disciple of the Ten Thousand Methods, and I was thinking that if he was here, then it would be much easier for us to do things. ”

Xue Bufan's eyes lit up: "Wang Qi, the legend of the Ten Thousand Methods, can't he? He didn't study ...... Logic or something, yes or no?"

"I don't think it's likely. Chen Feng said: "But he should also have friends, it's always good to ask." ”

"I think it's hard for him to make friends who have studied this issue. Xue Bufan said: "There are differences between the Ten Thousand Sects and the Sects, although Wang Qi has disappeared for more than a year, but before he disappeared, he was a representative of the Sect, and the problem of knotting knots was ...... It should be the Lianzong category, right?"

Chen Feng said regretfully: "That's it...... It's a bit ...... indeed."

"In addition, let me tell you, in front of the disciples of the Ten Thousand Methods Sect in the dark department, don't say that you know Wang Qi. Xue Bufan lowered his voice: "Although I think that the battle of concepts between the sects and the sects is very boring, the Wanfa Sect itself values it very much. Before, Shujun had been in the dark department for more than a hundred years, and now the ten thousand methods in the dark department are mostly Lianzong. ”

Chen Feng bared his teeth: "I also think those guys from the Wanfa Gate are too much. ”

"Let's not talk about that. Even if you want to get in touch, you can't get in touch right now. The technology of crossing the immortal path to transmit the spirit rhino is still very immature, and the real-time communication of the Ethereal Palace has not yet found a way to communicate across several light years. It will probably take more than a month to build a means to connect with Shenzhou. ”

After tying the knot for a while, Chen Feng picked up the "poem" that Xue Bufan put aside: "Instead of 'calligraphy', I'd better practice 'translation' firstβ€”I'll try to translate it into the human language first." ”

Xue Bufan was happy: "This is also calligraphy, the two of us are still in the stage of 'painting red'." ”

After about four hours, Chen Feng stood up and said, "If it was Shenzhou, it would be almost morning now." ”

"But in the sky, this is not even the moon in the middle of the sky...... Well, there are two moons here, so I guess I can't go up to midheaven. Xue Bufan smiled: "If you really feel tired, you can also go out for a walk." Be careful, though, don't visit the Wu people. At nightfall, the Wu are doing some tasks that can only be done at home, such as weaving ropes, handling ingredients, or cultivating. They were still busy at this time. ”

Tatsukaze nodded, walked out of the cocoon house, and then lifted his body and stood on the canopy.

Tianwu has two satellites, one reddish and one purple. It seems that it should be the color produced by some element. Since there are two moons reflecting the moonlight, the night of Tianwu is brighter than that of Shenzhou, and the stars are even rarer.

"Strange Sky ......"

Chen Feng habitually took a deep breath, and almost choked himself as a result. At this time, Ai Qinglan's breath flashed away. He was a little curious, so he unfolded his body and flew in that direction.

The first thing he saw were two Xuanxingguan disciples. Just as he was about to say hello, the girl suddenly fell from the sky.

Chen Feng's heart tightened, and he accelerated and ran over. (To be continued.) )
