Chapter 470 Language
In fact, the communication process between the other party and himself was more tortuous than he thought.
In Lu Yuan's view, the other party was like a group of rag pickers, not a representative of advanced civilization. When the guy who was suspected of being a human, he played for a long time, a circle-shaped device of a sphere seemed to be able to unfold the hologram. However, less than ten seconds after it was unfolded, a spark sounded, and the holographic projection device was completely scrapped.
Let Lu Yuan named this unknown guy A. After A decadently threw the thing on the ground, he ran to get a mechanical spider, opened the cockpit first, and then pulled out the helmet with a cable inside.
Unfortunately, after A looked at Lu Yuan, he had to give up the helmet because the original design of the helmet was definitely not for human use, and he couldn't put his head down at all.
Finally, A had to get into the cockpit of the mechanical spider again, and it removed a monitor about 12 inches.
“Huh?”
The dynamic balance technology of mechanical spiders is no less than the technical level of the "Mechanical Public Enemy" world. Unfortunately, the monitor A took out from the cockpit of mechanical spiders must be described in the words "Silly and Large". Even in terms of the color gamut and clarity of the monitor, not to mention that it is compared with the "Mechanical Public Enemy" world, it is probably behind the current level of human civilization.
Although the monitor looks bad, fortunately it is definitely enough to display text, images, and video.
Then the real exchange began.
Rows of unknown characters appear on the monitor, not hieroglyphics, but very obvious phonetic characters. Specific characters appear repeatedly in several paragraphs of text, while each time they appear, only one or two characters at the end are not much the same, and the previous part is basically the same.
Lu Yuan speculated that these words should change the endings of the word as the subject personal name and tense are different. The unchanged part of these character groups is the main trunk of the word, and the subsequent change part should have different suffixes.
It is indeed very difficult to crack a completely unknown language. It takes countless linguists a decade or even hundreds of years. But if there is a "person" who survives and knows this unknown language, it will be much easier to crack it.
At least it is much easier than Lu Yuan imagined.
For example, Lu Yuan pointed out the sun in the sky, and A on the other side was very clever to understand what it meant, and the corresponding characters appeared on the monitor. Lu Yuan grabbed the sand on the ground and pointed to the sand. A would also give the corresponding characters and pronunciations.
Of course, Lu Yuan considered that the other party was using phonetic characters, so he gave up the Chinese with ideograms and instead used English to teach the other party equally. And the more he understood, the more Lu Yuan discovered that the phonetic characters used by the other party were similar to English. Based on the character relationship expressed by the other party, he quickly established a table containing all the characters of the other party.
In this table, Lu Yuan can clearly see which characters share the same vowel and which ones share the same consonant. It didn't take too long, and the corresponding pronunciations of all characters on the opposite side were identified one by one.
Of course, this does not mean that you can understand the other person's language immediately. This is just the first step in communicating and learning.
Fortunately, there is another point that A's civilization is at least not inferior to that of the earth's civilization, and both have a basic understanding of the universe. This can be seen from the other party's mathematical level. With this foundation, Lu Yuan and the other party's cognition will not be too much wrong.
After all, Lu Yuan pointed to the sun and indicated that it was a star. The backward civilization believed that it was a "sun god". He grabbed a handful of sand, and the other party believed that it was a "mother". In this way, there would definitely be considerable problems and setbacks in the communication between the two parties.
After studying for five or six hours in a row, Lu Yuan was completely sleepy... he didn't even have hunger and thirst.
He is completely separated from humans, although he can still taste food, but he no longer needs food to replenish energy. Lu Yuan doesn't know whether such living things are common in the universe, but the other party is obviously not like him.
A and those snake scale creatures were eating a black ink, mud-like substance, and seemed to want Lu Yuan to taste it.
Lu Yuan smelled it, but there was no strange smell. Unfortunately, he never wanted to taste it himself. He shook his head and refused this dark dish.
Shaking his head to express his rejection.
A already knew what this posture meant, and regretfully, he licked the black "mud" clean without hesitation.
Soon, A sent another gift.
This planet rotates quite fast, only 16 to 17 hours on Earth in a day and night. When night comes, the temperature suddenly drops from forty or fifty degrees Celsius to about ten degrees Celsius. Such a severe temperature difference between day and night is not very comfortable.
It is estimated that in A's opinion, Lu Yuan, who was not covered in strands, would not be able to withstand this temperature difference, so he sent a "leather jacket" he was wearing.
Lu Yuan took it curiously and touched it. When he touched it down, the appearance of the dress gave a cowhide leather feeling, and when he touched it up, it actually felt like touching the woolen velvet, which was very magical.
When Lu Yuan put this dress on his body, it expanded automatically, and quickly generated the corresponding one-piece clothing along his body shape.
“This dress is pretty good.”
After thinking about it, Lu Yuan couldn't figure out what the principle was, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
According to his observations over the past five or six hours, there should be only one individual suspected to be human, and there are twenty-five snake scale creatures. They all consume a mud-like thing to replenish the body's water and energy. The sleep time at night only takes four hours, which is nearly three hours less than normal humans.
Their main work during the day is consistent with Lu Yuan's previous speculation. They rely on various materials to dig this huge building and search for materials, equipment, food, etc. that can be relied on.
This is the first time I encountered such extraterrestrial life. Lu Yuan was extremely interested, observed their actions with great interest, and actively communicated and learned with A.
Since he stopped taking NZT, his brain has returned to the usual level, but after this time his body changed drastically, Lu Yuan didn't know whether his brain still followed the brain neural network... It is expected that the hope is very low, after all, his body has no cell structure.
