Chapter 110 Clues

Li Yi continued reading.

“…On the 13th day of the experiment, I was shocked by the wonders of life.”

"Perhaps I have reached a new level in my research on intelligent species."

"It turns out that the reason why the wisdom factor cannot be integrated with the divine creature is because most of the wisdom factors are fragile and cannot produce a corresponding influence on the gene chain."

"It's not that divine creatures don't have intelligence, they just can't function."

"No wonder the 'reproduction' and 'selfishness' I invested in before have not produced any results after so long."

"No, it may work, but it will take too long. Even if I live an incredibly long life, I am not willing to wait for the results."

"Because this isn't something that can be solved by taking a nap."

“I decided to speed up the process.”

"xxxxx"

The following long paragraph contains a lot of professional terms, and it is difficult to refer to the previous translation logic. It is very strange, which greatly increases the difficulty of interpretation.

Therefore, Li Yi could only skip and look down.

"After consulting the subject texts, I decided to adopt a hybrid approach."

"Now, I have revised my thinking and created a divine virus that has a faster fission rate and is stronger. It can corrode the genetic chain of divine creatures and make them fragile."

"It took a long time to make this thing. It has only just been completed since the last experiment day. It has failed countless trillions of times."

"It's only thanks to my patience that I was able to complete it."

"If it were any other short-lived intelligent species, they would have been finished long ago."

"There aren't many of these divine viruses, but they are highly contagious. They should help the 'reproduction' and 'selfishness' that I implanted earlier to take effect more quickly."

After slowly interpreting all of this, Li Yi was surprised to find that three hours had passed.

"Translation is really a very time-consuming and exhausting job. If you want to achieve perfection and avoid mistakes, it will probably take even longer."

In order to avoid omissions, he carefully reviewed each article and compared them with Lao Zhang's translation one by one.

After confirming that there was a problem, he began to translate word by word.

After these two processes, it took an average of one and a half hours to read one article.

If it weren't for Lao Zhang's translation for comparison, it would probably have taken even longer.

This further confirms Li Yi's suspicion.

"Didn't Lao Zhang have already translated most of it, but for some reason he pretended to be slow at work?"

"It was not until the instructor took me over to urge him and gave him the reason why he had to translate as soon as possible that he was able to translate with all his strength?"

"Otherwise, even if the instructor and I helped to break down the meanings of the words and paragraphs, it only took him one night to translate eighty or ninety pages without any delay?"

"Either, Lao Zhang's translation skills are close to perfect! Or, he has already completed the translation, and in order to deal with us, he deliberately consumed our mental energy, and then when he finalized the manuscript, he could fool us."

Li Yi thought for a while and decided to translate another article.

Although it was time to go to bed, it was no problem for him to stay up all night once or twice given his physical condition.

At this moment, I continued to search, checking for omissions and gaps, focusing on those chapters that were different from Lao Zhang's manuscript.

Next, is page 17.

"…On the 17th day of the experiment, the research on intelligent species gradually came to a standstill."

"The divine virus that was released last time didn't work immediately."

"It's really unbelievable. The divine virus has such strong vitality, why can't it have a huge impact on divine creatures? Logically speaking, weaker divine creatures should have begun to change drastically."

"But why? Three experimental days is several generations even for a divine creature."

"Or is it that the divine creatures have some way to suppress this kind of genetic change?"

"I decided to arrange for robots to capture some young divine creatures and check the specific situation."

"Of course, in order to prevent being targeted by the enemy, I have already made sufficient camouflage for the robot."

Below is some slightly long-winded and seemingly meaningless soliloquy.

After Li Yi confirmed that this content was meaningless, he skipped it and continued reading.

"After a long wait, I finally got some young divine creatures, namely xxx, xxx, and xxx."

Because he couldn't understand the naming method, Li Yi guessed that they were steel-armored creatures, lightning creatures and magma creatures based on the shapes of the characters.

It’s hard to say whether it’s correct or not, so I’ll just translate it like this for now. If I find it’s wrong, I’ll change it.

"And the bad thing is that these are special species that are difficult to extract genetic information from."

"Except for the steel-armored creatures which are a bit easier, as for the lightning creatures and the magma creatures, I have to admire my robot for being able to catch these rare species."

"By the way, when did robots become so powerful?"

This article ends here.

Li Yi was speechless. It actually ended here.

I could only turn to page 18, but I found that the content on page 18 was completely unrelated to page 17.

Really interesting.

Li Yi discovered a phenomenon that some of the content recorded in the gourd man's experimental notes seemed to lack a certain continuity.

Basically, each page starts over.

Or it may take a few pages for that long-term experiment to reappear in the record when something changes.

So far, including the correct parts of Lao Zhang’s previous translation, this rule is basically the same.

"It seems that the Gourd Man should have another file with very detailed data records! There is at least a 90% chance that it exists!"

"For some experimental records, the results may be revealed by the data, so he was too lazy to continue recording the overview? That's why many pages only have the beginning but no complete ending?"

"And the content of the overview is basically the foreshadowing of what experiments he will do later in the experiment day."

"In other words, this note may be more like a record of inspiration and miscellaneous matters."

After confirming this, Li Yi became confused.

Because he saw the gourd man's corpse with his own eyes.

In other words, if there really is another detailed experimental record document, where is it hidden?

Is it still in the second laboratory that was discovered? Or is that corpse not the Gourd Man's?

Are there also doubts about the content of the second note?

Compared with the first note, is the second one too simple? For a moment, a lot of doubts repeatedly emerged in Li Yi's mind.

However, there was at least one fact he could confirm.

That is, no experimental equipment or detailed records of the experiments were found in the second laboratory.

As for whether those culture tubes, culture dishes, genetic fluids and other items are important items, it is not certain.

At least, of the various battle materials that appeared in the experimental records, only the slime creatures remained there.

Most of the black water creatures, or other divine creatures recorded later, did not match those in the culture chamber.

What matches the records are more of the various organs of the bodies of various intelligent races.

According to the second note, the reason why the slime creatures stayed there was because they were out of control.

"It feels like the secrets involved in this notebook are becoming more and more troublesome."

Li Yi rubbed his forehead and decided to go to sleep and rest.

As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. If I continue to ponder over this matter over the next few days, I should see more deciphered memories in my dreams.

If you absorb it carefully, your decryption skills will probably improve.

By then, the efficiency can be further improved.

Once the decryption skills have reached a level of proficiency or even perfection, perhaps we will be able to see what is hidden behind Lao Zhang's tampering with the translation content.

…

Training the next day.

After Chen Qiongzhi arranged the training tasks for the day, she suddenly said, "Team Li Yi does not need to participate in today's daily training for the time being. Follow me into the office."

"Also, Fang Tao, Zhou Qisheng, and Zheng Xuefei, the same goes for you. Come into my office."

When everyone saw that they were all people who were selected for the ruins' main list or waiting list, they immediately guessed something.

Inside the office, everyone stood still.

Chen Qiongzhi sat comfortably on the soft chair and said with a smile, "There are still three weeks before the official exploration of the ruins. However, our starship is so large that the cost of taking off and landing is very high. Therefore, those who are selected for the ruins exploration list will need to board a small starship and set off in advance next week."

"You should all understand this, right?"

"clear."

No one was surprised.

With a starship of this size, it is indeed unlikely to stop.

Therefore, when their regular and reserve teams set off, the starship will jet in the reverse direction, slowly slow down, and then slide into the outermost orbit of Tianshu, orbiting in order to keep the speed to a minimum.

When they complete their exploration, they can return home in a small starship carrying a large amount of resources.

If their small starships cannot carry more resources, the Yao Chi ship will continue to dispatch teams to collect the key resources.

And it will be enough to keep cruising to this spot regularly after three to five years.

Later, if the ruins are important enough, a garrison team will be left behind.

This is the normal development process of a relic.

Everyone has learned a lot about cosmic civilization and relic development recently, and has gained a lot of understanding about this.

Chen Qiongzhi nodded and continued, "Although it is still a confidential matter, I might as well reveal a little information to you."

"The Tianshu Ruins will definitely be one of the most important ruins in the Xingyu Federation in the future. This entry may not be the end. In three to five years, there may be another chance to come again."

"Therefore, even if you try your best when exploring the ruins, you must also remain vigilant and remember to keep a hand in hand at all times to prevent unknown risks."

"The most important thing is that the various information calculated in the virtual ruins will also have errors. You can rely on the strategy, but you can't be superstitious about it. Do you understand?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"clear!"

Chen Qiongzhi smiled and said, "We have quite a few people on board the Yao Chi this time, so you have to be careful and don't rush in. If you gain resources but lose people, then it's basically all in vain."

"The next week is exam week. My requirement for you is that you must score above 90 points in each subject."

"With your learning ability, it's basically not difficult as long as you put your heart into it. Just work hard."

"Is 90 points too high? Everyone else only scored 60 points."

At this time, Cai Xiaodong couldn't help but ask: "Instructor, why don't you give us special training when we are close to the exploration of the ruins, but let us strengthen our academic studies? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

This question also expresses the thoughts of many people.

Chen Qiongzhi smiled faintly and said:

"There's not much time in a week. If you can improve, you've already improved. If you can't improve, special training is just that. You still have to spend time to improve."

"But one thing is that with your current brainpower and the learning effect of virtual reality, you can make up for a lot of knowledge."

"If you encounter a near-death crisis in the ruins, perhaps what will save you is not your strength, but various survival knowledge."

"If you find clues in the ruins that you have never found before, but cannot make an effective judgment, then what can help you make an accurate judgment is also a wealth of knowledge."

"Therefore, in the remaining week, I require you to master both civil and military skills, as well as physical and intellectual abilities!"

"Although it's a bit premature, it's enough to have a small effect."

"The simplest example is that Li Yi was not the strongest among the people present at the beginning, but he was able to lead the team to the first place in strategy progress every time, and in turn provide clues to the advance team."

"Did he use his strength? No, it was also a sharp mind and a wealth of knowledge."

"Although Li Yi has always said that he only relied on his rich understanding of the traces to judge the corresponding information."

"But if you don't have enough knowledge, you can only judge the depth and length of a mark if you only see it."

"But if you have the corresponding physics knowledge, you can infer the tonnage of the trace and the force of that step."

"If you have the corresponding biological knowledge, you can infer what type of species the traces come from, what size it is, and what abilities it has."

"If you have more detailed knowledge of traceology, you can infer more details."

"Cai Xiaodong, are you still thinking of holding on to Li Yi's thighs the whole time and winning without doing anything?"

These heart-piercing words seemed to be directed at Cai Xiaodong, but in fact they were also directed at everyone else.

Cai Xiaodong quickly expressed his opinion:

"No, no, of course I have also worked hard in training and studying, striving to become the most indispensable part of the team."

Chen Qiongzhi smiled slightly, turned his gaze to Fang Tao and the others, and said, "You are not bad in strength, but you can never catch up with the progress of Li Yi's team. The most important thing is that you can't obtain information beyond the naked eye."

"In the future, when we need to fight aliens and it is your turn to command the team, you will have a heavy burden on your shoulders."

"You don't want to be forced to resort to hard-hitting tactics when it's your turn to command, and then destroy all the talents you've worked so hard to train, right?"

"You must learn how to obtain enough intelligence from all angles."

"Only in this way can you achieve the greatest results with the least damage, understand?"

Fang Tao asked in surprise: "Will we also need to command the army to fight in the future?"

"Of course, you are the elites of humanity who have been specially selected for training."

Chen Qiongzhi smiled and said, "If you are not qualified to command the army in the future, who will be qualified? Of course, if you stay at this stage and don't make any progress, then just ignore what I said."

Li Yi listened the whole time and knew that Chen Qiongzhi's words were basically not directed at him.

I just listened to it casually.

After all, he was almost the most careful and knowledgeable person among all the people present.

Chen Qiongzhi is here to give advice to other people.

After all, they are all future teammates. If you don’t give them more advice, you will be doomed if they make low-level mistakes in future battles.

…

After some careful instructions.

Everyone dispersed and Li Yi was kept back by Chen Qiongzhi again.

"How is it going? Have you made any progress in translating manuscripts recently?"

Li Yi's heart moved and he asked:

"From the instructor's look, it seems that he has gained some clues from the rules recently? Or did he find something during his investigation of Teacher Zhang's surroundings?"

Chen Qiongzhi nodded slightly and said:

"Yes, there are some gains from both."

"Yu Shouze told me that they have found solid evidence of Wu Huanling's disguised identity. Through DNA testing on the hair left in the dormitory by Lin Huanwu, they confirmed that this person is Wu Huanling."

Li Yi was surprised and said, "That is to say, Wu Huanling has been lurking in the Cryptography Research Institute."

"In fact, Teacher Zhang may have a close relationship with Wu Huanling?"

Chen Qiongzhi shook her head and said, "Whether they are closely related or not, there is no evidence to prove whether Lao Zhang knows Wu Huanling or only knows Lin Huanwu in this identity."

Li Yi nodded and asked:

"Did you gain anything else from your investigation of Mr. Zhang's surroundings?"

Speaking of this, Chen Qiongzhi frowned, looking a little confused, and said:

"I have known Lao Zhang since I was very young, because my parents were also in the same circle as them in ancient technology research."

"So, after my parents died in the battle of Tianheng Star, Teacher Fang Guozi, Lao Zhang, and other teachers all took good care of me."

"Therefore, this time I asked several other teachers I am familiar with about Lao Zhang's past."

"It turned out that everyone only remembered him as Lao Zhang, but forgot his real name."

"No one knows his real name! Even in the Institute of Cryptography and Writing, his ID shows that his surname is not Zhang, but Zhang Jinmu."

"Zhang Jinmu?" Li Yi seemed to be thinking about something.

Chen Qiongzhi wrote down the name and said, "It's surprising, right? In fact, this is also the name that Yu Shouze saw in the system, but those of us who know him assume it is Zhang, the same as Zhang the Archer."

"And Lao Zhang has said more than once that he is the Zhang in the bow length Zhang rather than the Zhang in the article."

Li Yi nodded and asked, "Instructor, what else?"

Chen Qiongzhi said, "Another point is that Old Zhang is also said to be from Earth. In previous interactions with other experts, he mentioned in bits and pieces that he has a very strange but very beautiful granddaughter."

Li Yi had a vague idea in his mind and asked quickly, "How strange is it?"

"It is said that it never grows up and likes to run outside in the early morning to grab leaves and play with them."

"Grab the leaves?"

Chen Qiongzhi said: "Yes, I heard that the granddaughter has kept this habit for a long time. She always returns home with her hands full of dewdrops."

dew?

Hearing this, Li Yi was shocked and immediately thought:

"Loves to catch dewdrops, but never grows up? Could it be that this is the 'dew' cultivated by the gourd man using his own genes and the genes of the floating female corpse?"

He quickly asked:

"So where is this granddaughter now?"

Chen Qiongzhi shook her head and said:

"No, I asked several people, and they only heard Lao Zhang mention this matter, but he didn't mention many more details."

As she spoke, she looked at Li Yi and said suspiciously:

"Looking at you like this, you won't think of anything, right?"

Li Yi nodded and said, "It cannot be confirmed, but it is indeed very suspicious. Instructor, can you take me to see these experts? I would like to ask for more details."
