Chapter 91 Discovery

"Why rush? The sky hasn't fallen yet, and the ship hasn't sunk yet."

Old Zhang was writing while puffing away at the cigarette, without even looking back.

Chen Qiongzhi smiled and said, "You are so cool, but we are in a hurry. Human lives are at stake."

"Every time you say human life is at stake, okay."

Old Zhang turned around, looked over, and immediately saw Li Yi behind Chen Qiongzhi.

He immediately smiled: "Hey, where did this handsome young man come from? Not bad, is this the new mecha master candidate? Have you finally fallen to the point of leading people in the regular team?"

"What the hell, stop talking nonsense, tell me what you have deciphered and give me the conclusion."

Chen Qiongzhi was not polite at all.

"It's just a joke. I know you can't join the standing team."

Lao Zhang said:

"Just a few conclusions."

"First, the text should be pictographic, which is not difficult to decipher."

"Secondly, the writing system is exactly the same as the architectural runes found on Setan. They are from the same vein."

"Third, the altar texts are texts of divination, mostly about how to induce special changes inside the ruins through special rituals."

"Fourth, the laboratory notes are the most difficult to decipher because they are rather sloppy and simplified too much. We can only roughly infer that they were probably doing experiments, which is indeed what you guessed, but that's all we have so far."

Chen Qiongzhi said speechlessly:

"There are a lot of useless deciphers, but nothing important."

"Yeah, there's nothing we can do about it. Decoding is so simple and slow."

Old Zhang didn't care about Chen Qiongzhi's disdain and said with a smile.

Chen Qiongzhi said, "This time I brought the first person to discover the text, and he is also our specially selected strongest strategy king Li Yi. He has an outstanding memory and knows a lot of details about the internal gourd civilization. He also has some personal insights into the internal gourd civilization. If you have encountered any places that you cannot decipher and your progress is stuck, you can discuss it with him."

"The strongest strategy king?"

Not to mention Lao Zhang, even Li Yi was stunned by this title.

Chen Qiongzhi is very good at giving identities, and he calls himself the strongest strategy king as soon as he opens his mouth.

Lao Zhang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Did you give yourself this title so casually?"

"Of course I don't call myself that. This is the conclusion I came to after meeting so many different types of geniuses and prodigies."

Chen Qiongzhi said as a matter of course: "Let me tell you this, if Li Yi learns cryptography, ancient civilization, interstellar civilization, text decryption and other related knowledge and skills from you, within a month, his decryption speed will surpass yours under the same conditions."

Old Zhang said in disbelief: "Just keep bragging. I haven't seen you for a while and you seem to be getting better at bragging. It's a waste of such a pretty face."

Chen Qiongzhi sneered:

"Old Zhang, do you dare to take a gamble?"

Lao Zhang immediately said, "What the hell, I won't bet! Even if I'm 100% sure, I won't bet with you!"

Li Yi felt strange.

He could learn these very quickly, and then use more time to ponder them, stimulate dreams to increase memory fragments, absorb them, and quickly learn relevant knowledge.

But he himself had no confidence that he could be faster than the man in front of him.

Unexpectedly, Chen Qiongzhi directly blew away his boast.

Was it because she had too much confidence in him, or did she see her abnormal learning ability? Moreover, she also saw the other side of Chen Qiongzhi.

Perhaps, this is the real Chen Qiongzhi.

Chen Qiongzhi said confidently:

"Anyway, whether you believe it or not, don't waste time. Bring out the difficult questions now. The three of us will discuss them together to speed up the decoding process."

"Okay, since you said so, I'll give it a try."

As he spoke, Lao Zhang pulled out two of them from the other corners of his desk and said, "These are the ones that were not solved during the previous decryption."

"For this one, I have already found the relevant glyphs and the architectural runes on Setan. I have taken down the fonts that have similar glyphs but are from different eras."

"This one shows the context and the original text that have been deciphered."

"You guys just watch first."

Having said that, he handed it to Chen Qiongzhi.

Chen Qiongzhi took a few glances at it and then handed it to Li Yi.

Li Yi took a look and felt a slight headache. What the hell was this?

After thinking for a while, he moved closer to Chen Qiongzhi and said softly:

"Instructor, are you serious? I haven't learned any of this. I don't understand it, and I don't know how to do it."

Chen Qiongzhi's expression and lips remained unchanged.

He actually used a similar method to transmit sound into secrets, condensing the sound into a line, which sounded beside Li Yi's ears:

"It doesn't matter if you know how to do it. Today we are just here to force this lazy old man to work harder."

"Although this old man seems unreliable, he is actually very good at deciphering texts. He has participated in many ancient civilization deciphering projects. Even if the texts do not have sufficient relevant information, he can basically solve them in ten days."

"If the data is sufficient, with the help of the AI-assisted system, it can be completed in a few days, which is very efficient."

Li Yi thought thoughtfully: "So, is this enough information, right?"

Chen Qiongzhi transmitted the message:

"Because the information found on Setan is comprehensive enough, and he just said that the two are from the same source, so as long as we can force him to be serious, I estimate that we can get it done in the next two days. Even if it is not complete, it is enough for us to understand the general situation of the matter."

Li Yi understood. No wonder Chen Qiongzhi was so confident.

It turns out that today's AI is so powerful that even the decryption efficiency can be increased several times.

"Then why are there only paper books here?"

"This is where the old guy is dawdling. He could have used an AI-assisted system, but he insisted on figuring it out on his own, wasting time."

"So what do I do next?"

"Talk to him, learn how to decipher it, and how to help from your perspective."

"That's all? You can change someone else, instructor."

"No, others don't have your strong learning ability, analytical ability, and insight. Your outstanding qualities, plus your previous experience of discovering information first-hand in the ruins, are enough to qualify for this role."

"Okay, as long as it doesn't delay my extra training."

"Don't worry, once we get this order, I will practice with you for at least an hour every day for the next week."

"Instructor, no."

"Oh?" Chen Qiongzhi raised her eyebrows.

“It takes at least two hours a day.”

"Haha, you really know how to take advantage of others."

"Instructor, my job is so tough. I have to decipher the code, deal with the subsequent exploration, and be a field staff officer. I really feel overwhelmed."

Chen Qiongzhi: "...Okay, okay, this is not a bad thing for you...Okay, I agree."

"Haha, I know the instructor always keeps his word. Thank you so much for your support."

The two of them whispered and quickly negotiated the terms.

…

Old Zhang looked at the two people chattering and said with a smile:

"From the looks of you, you have discussed it. How about this text? Do you have anything to say about it?"

Li Yi stepped forward and said:

"Teacher Zhang, could you allow me to ask a few questions first and seek your advice?"

"Can."

Old Zhang nodded.

Li Yi pointed to a sentence in the context and said:

"If I remember correctly, this sentence is on page 8, line 6 of the lab notes, right?"

A look of surprise flashed across Old Zhang's eyes, but then disappeared.

"That's right. No wonder Chen Qiongzhi said you are the strategy king. With your memory, I have seen a little bit, but it's just a little bit, not much. What else?"

Li Yi smiled and said:

"I think that according to the punctuation and traces at that time, the above text needs to add the last two words of the fifth line and the first five words of the seventh line, so that the context of this sentence will be complete enough."

Lao Zhang sneered and said, "No, judging by the character spacing between the context, the sentence I broke is the complete one."

Li Yi stared at Lao Zhang's eyes and suddenly smiled:

"Teacher Zhang, you actually knew that this sentence was incomplete, so you deliberately picked out the incomplete part to test us, didn't you?"

Old Zhang’s smile faded.

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

Li Yi smiled and said:

"My judgment is based on two points. First, I also read the experimental notes roughly at the time. Although I couldn't understand them, I was still able to grasp the internal rules."

"Among them, the sentence segmentation method of this experimental note is similar to that of humans. It is segmented according to the rhythm of pronunciation. Once a sentence is finished, it is a sentence."

“And this rhythm of speaking can be matched with the rhythm of writing.”

"As long as you grasp the force traces of its writing, you can tell which word is the beginning of a sentence and which is the end of a sentence."

"Although this method may be subject to errors due to interruptions."

"But based on the traces of writing and the concentration represented by them, I can conclude that there was no interruption at the time."

"So, the complete sentence is what I just said, the last two words of the fifth line plus the first two words of the sixth line plus the seventh line."

"Finally, combined with the obvious interruption marks on Teacher Zhang's page, my conclusion is very clear."

The call is over.

Not to mention Old Zhang, even Chen Qiongzhi who brought Li Yi here was stunned.

What the hell?

Aren't you good at identifying footsteps? How come you can recognize text as well? Are you really that good? In fact, for Li Yi, this is not difficult.

In recent times, he has been using the divine mecha to identify all kinds of traces with high intensity every time he explores the ruins.

As well as the massive amount of information impact brought by the divine mecha, after pondering it day and night, when he captured memory fragments every day, he would naturally capture some knowledge and skills related to trace recognition and frequency recognition.

On this basis, we can slightly expand the scope to judge various types of traces, although we cannot achieve a high degree of accuracy.

But it's pretty close.

Although he couldn't give a more professional judgment like professional handwriting identification experts or text recognition masters.

But judging from the traces alone, every one of the people present is no match for him.

now.

Lao Zhang was also stunned for a long time before he couldn't help but say:

"Youth are to be feared! It seems that I really underestimated you. Just based on the skill you just showed, I feel inferior to you. I admire you!"

"but--"

Old Zhang changed the subject and said:

"What you just said only proved that I deliberately set up obstacles, but it did not provide any useful insights into the deciphering of the text."

Chen Qiongzhi originally wanted to retort, but when she turned around and saw Li Yi's confident expression, she immediately suppressed the urge to speak.

Li Yi smiled and said:

“That’s certainly insightful.”

"I see that the characters marked by Teacher Zhang are basically deformations and collages of the object gourd. The basic structure of their characters is the gourd."

"Based on the notes and other runes I saw before, as well as Teacher Zhang's confirmation that this is hieroglyphics, it can be basically confirmed that the gourd civilization must have occupied a vital position in their civilization system."

"So the question is, what does the gourd represent?"

"I think we must solve this problem and decipher other texts to get twice the result with half the effort, right?"

Old Zhang nodded slightly and said, "This is a mature and prudent opinion. I'll give you a small point. What else?"

Li Yi originally wanted to say something else, extend a few opinions, and explain the general meaning of one of the words he judged.

Relevant information he had read before flashed through his mind. Suddenly, relevant knowledge about the divine light bomb flashed in his mind inexplicably. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and came up with another excuse.

"Teacher Zhang, do you know that the runes on the altars in the ruins were carved with divinity? Moreover, after being carved, the entire altar has some wonderful functions."

When these words were spoken, both Lao Zhang and Chen Qiongzhi showed shock in their eyes.

Although Lao Zhang's voice was hoarse, he could not help but ask loudly:

"Are you telling the truth? Why didn't I see this reflected in the previously reported information?"

Li Yi smiled and said:

"Originally, I wasn't sure if this was the case, but when I recalled the scene I experienced before, I suddenly remembered a very important fact."

"That is, the material of the altar is extremely hard! It is a special material that is comparable to the shell of a divine mecha!"

"And those runes are engraved in relief! Embedded text!"

"As for the means to carve into this material, I currently can't think of any other method except divinity."

"As for the wonderful function of the entire altar, perhaps I need to wait until I try to activate it next time to confirm this."

Old Zhang said excitedly:

"Whether it's true or not, this proves that these runes are likely to be the most likely divine texts we can master!"

"Damn, it seems that this gourd civilization is also a treasure civilization!"

Li Yi was somewhat puzzled by Lao Zhang's excessive excitement: "What do you mean by divine words?"

Chen Qiongzhi patted Li Yi on the shoulder, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:

"It seems that the importance of the ruins needs to be raised again."

Li Yi said thoughtfully: "Instructor, the so-called divine text, could it be that this thing also involves some core of divine technology?"

"Yes, that's it."

Chen Qiongzhi said: "If you forcibly open some ancient technology black boxes, you can see that they contain a large number of special characters that contain divinity."

"We believe that the divine writing, like the circuit boards of our electrical civilization, hides some profound ancient technological core."

"However, despite using various deciphering methods, I still cannot decipher the inner rules of the divine text."

"If the Calabash Civilization also mastered some of the ancient technologies during the process of developing them, it is possible that they could have given rise to their own divine writing."

Li Yi suddenly realized: "With the help of the gourd civilization, which is a system that is easier to crack, we can master the true divine writing of the ancient civilization?"

"Yes, that's it."

Chen Qiongzhi couldn't help but pat Li Yi with her big hands, praising him loudly, "Boy, you actually missed such a big clue before! Fortunately, you remembered it today."

Li Yi smiled and said, "Even if we missed it this time, we may still find it next time we go there."

"Even if we go there next time, the credit may be taken away by the people on the Kuafu ship or the Sun Chaser ship. If you discover it in advance, it will be ours."

Chen Qiongzhi said with a smile.

While the two were talking, Lao Zhang was too lazy to test Li Yi anymore, so he decisively woke up the AI ​​system assistant and started deciphering the code frantically.

Chen Qiongzhi spat, "This old bastard, only now does he realize the importance of deciphering these words."

Lao Zhang said with a smile: "If it was before, there is still time, so there is no need to rush. As for now, we have to work at full speed."

Then he looked at Li Yi and said, "Boy, since you have such analytical ability, then come and do me a favor and re-examine the context of your punctuation to see if there is any difference with mine."
