Chapter 491 Relic characters in Mayan writing

The lunar terraforming plan is certainly not about terraforming the entire moon.

Instead, they want to start building their lunar base on the moon.

The purpose of building a lunar base is threefold.

One is to demonstrate their space technology.

Space technology is the next important scientific research project that needs to be carried out after solving the current problems of nuclear fusion power generation, normal temperature superconductors, and quantum computers.

The project of building a lunar base is currently a project that they can complete.

As long as they can complete the construction of this lunar base, it will undoubtedly be a symbol of their space science strength.

The second is for the resources on the moon.

The moon is rich in mineral resources. The five centimeter-thick lunar soil alone on the moon's surface is roughly estimated to contain hundreds of millions of tons of iron, not to mention elements such as titanium, aluminum, and silicon.

In addition, there is a more important resource, which is helium-3.

As the most ideal controllable nuclear fusion fuel, the fusion produced by helium-3 and helium-3 can be said to be absolutely pollution-free nuclear fusion because it does not produce neutrons. China is the only country on earth that has mastered controllable nuclear fusion. Countries with advanced technology naturally cannot wait until foreign countries take action before they take action.

Therefore, it is a top priority for them to mine resources on the moon as soon as possible.

The third and final point is the more important point for them.

This is the secret about the moon monument.

As the first country in the world to land on the far side of the moon, their first exploration found a moon monument on the far side of the moon that has always been very mysterious.

So who knows if there might be something hidden somewhere on the far side of the moon?

Because of this, after building the lunar base, they will officially launch a large-scale search operation on the back of the moon to see if there are any treasures from ancient times.

These are the three purposes for which they built this lunar base.

As for the technology of building a lunar base, they had already had this idea several years ago and had begun to conduct a lot of research in this area.

They have three ways of setting up a base on the moon.

The first one is realized through 3D printing technology, and the raw materials for 3D printing rely on local materials. After all, the lunar soil on the surface of the moon contains a large amount of titanium, iron, and chlorine elements, especially the iron element. It's all iron oxide.

So as long as the oxygen element is separated from it, they can easily obtain a large amount of metallic iron, and then directly create their base through 3D printing.

The main advantage of this method is that it uses local materials, and does not require them to bring heavier things from the earth; the disadvantage is also obvious, it still needs to use local materials, which adds a lot of difficulty.

As for the second method, 3D printing is still used, but the raw materials need to be brought from the earth. The advantages and disadvantages of this are also obvious. The advantage is that it saves one step compared to the moon and is more convenient. The disadvantage is the weight that needs to be carried. More.

The third way is to build all the modules of their lunar base directly from the earth and then bring them directly up. The advantages and disadvantages of this method are still the same, but there is one more disadvantage, that is, the landing There are greater requirements for the volume of the lunar spacecraft.

After all, although it is a modular lunar base, in terms of portability, it is obviously not as good as just bringing raw materials up there.

Obviously, the third method is the most convenient, without so much trouble, and greatly saves the preparation work on the moon.

And if we still put it in the rocket era, obviously, if they want to realize the third method, they may have to go to a lot of trouble to launch several moon landing rockets to achieve it.

But things are different now.

They have the Tiannian number.

Tiannian's huge load weight and spacious internal volume, coupled with its status as a reusable spacecraft, make it not too easy to implement the third method.

Therefore, it is not easy to realize this lunar base construction plan.

It was precisely because of Tianan's powerful performance that Yue Shisi and the space agency immediately approached Lin Xiao and confirmed the plan with him.

In this way, after discussing more details with Ren Guohua and the others, Lin Xiao personally sent Ren Guohua and the others out of the institute.

Then, after returning to his office, Lin Xiao sighed in his heart: "We are finally going to land on the moon."

Xiaomi's voice also suddenly sounded: "I can finally take a long-distance flight."

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes, "Who asked you to speak? What if someone hears you?"

Xiaomi replied: "Don't worry, Master, I've always been monitoring the surroundings. There won't be any problems."

"Okay, go and play by yourself."

Lin Xiao waved his hand, and then no longer paid attention to Xiaomi, but focused on the system.

This time the Tiannian took off successfully, went around in outer space and then returned successfully, the system naturally provided him with a generous reward.

“When you cast your small eyes on the vast universe, life will realize how insignificant your existence is, but no matter how insignificant a life is, it can conquer the vast universe, and a spacecraft that can freely travel to and from planets and space , is the most important step in realizing this journey.”

"Congratulations to the host for gaining 20,000 mathematics experience points, 25,000 physics experience points, 15,000 materials science experience points, 10,000 chemistry experience points, 6,500 information science experience points, 1,000 truth points, [aerospace aircraft design drawing]."

"Congratulations to the host for improving materials science to level 7 and chemistry to level 6."

"Upgrade Chemistry to level 6 and gain the aura of Master of Chemistry."

Lin Xiao was surprised by such a generous reward given by the system. He did not expect that the system would be so generous with this technology.

The most important thing is that he was able to achieve this mainly by using the materials of the moon monument. Otherwise, their Tiannian obviously would not be able to do this.

In addition, chemistry and materials science have been upgraded, but they directly provide him with 1.5% brain development.

So now, his brain development level has reached 20.05%.

However, unlike when his brain development level exceeded 10%, the system broadened the maximum brain development level for him. This time, he did not get any bonus.

Of course, it’s not a big problem. A maximum brain capacity of 120% can definitely withstand 20% brain development.

"The only question is, by providing so many rewards, is the system encouraging me to develop into space technology?"

Lin Xiao groped his chin and finally shook his head.

This is probably possible. After all, the ultimate truth of the universe must be hidden in the universe. On their small earth, it is obviously impossible to find this ultimate truth.

It is like the secret hidden in the moon monument, but it is also difficult for them to understand at the moment.

Of course, before that, he also thought about using truth points to ask about the origin of the moon monument, as well as the origins of the ruins on Earth and Mars. However, the system still used the high demand for truth points to dispel his idea. .

To know this secret, a full 6,000 truth points were needed. He didn't know where such expensive truth points were spent.

Seeing that he had more and more truth points, Lin Xiao couldn't help but wonder, why did he never encounter a time when he needed to spend truth points and he could afford it?

Finally shook his head, forget it, just don't worry about it so much.

Next, it’s time to prepare for the next moon landing plan.

But at this moment, his phone suddenly rang. He looked and saw that the call was from Liao Cheng.

He raised his eyebrows. What was the purpose of calling him now?

Could it be that they are also celebrating the success of the Tiannian?

With some doubts, he answered the phone.

"Hello, Director Liao."

"Chief Lin, we have encountered a problem here. I would like to invite you to come over and have a talk. It is not convenient to do it on the phone."

Lin Xiao frowned, encountered a problem?

What problem can Yue Shisi be stumped by?

Could it be another scientific study like Cai Lai?

Of course, although he was confused, he still said quickly: "Okay, I'll be right over."

Then he hung up the phone and quickly went to Yueshi Division.

After arriving at Yueshi Division and the underground base, he was taken to the conference room.

At this time, there were many people sitting in the conference room, each with their faces wrinkled and looking embarrassed.

At this time, Lin Xiao's entry naturally attracted everyone's attention.

"Chief Lin!"

"Chief Lin, you are here."

Lin Xiao nodded slightly to everyone present, then looked at Liao Cheng who was sitting in the front seat, and asked: "Okay, Director Liao, tell me, what problem did you encounter?"

Liao Cheng said: "Chief Lin, you should also know that we reached a cultural exchange and cooperation with Mexico some time ago, right?"

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "I know this."

According to the guidance of the moon stone, there is a mysterious ruins among the ruins of the Mayan civilization in Mexico.

And since this is within other people's territory, they naturally can't go there casually.

Therefore, in the early days, they sent personnel to the Mayan civilization ruins in the name of tourists many times, and then tried to find relevant traces in those public scenic spots.

But after several dispatches, they could not find any relevant special symbols. Basically, they only had ancient Mayan characters that everyone could see.

So they had no other choice, so they reached cooperation with the Mexican cultural department through exchanges and cooperation. Mexico approved them to conduct research in unopened areas of Mayan cultural sites, and they allowed Mexican archaeologists to come to them. Archaeological Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses.

Naturally, Mexico didn't think much about this kind of cooperation. Anyway, this kind of cooperation and exchange has not happened before.

And because China's national power has become increasingly powerful recently, Mexico also believes that this move will help further the relationship between the two parties.

Of course, because Mexico is too close to the country in the north, they dare not act too rashly.

However, no matter what, the exchanges and cooperation between the two sides on cultural heritage sites have been carried out normally.

But now that several months have passed, it is already over, so Lin Xiao asked: "Is there any result?"

Liao Cheng sighed and said: "There is a result, or in other words, a result without results."

"Our people did not find any related mysterious relic symbols or writings there."

Lin Xiao's brows immediately wrinkled.

Didn't find the relevant symbols and words there?

Liao Cheng said again: "According to the location marked on the moonstone, the ruins are located in the Yucatan Peninsula. We have searched various Mayan ruins there, but found nothing."

"The only symbols that can be found are the ancient Mayan writings."

After hearing Liao Cheng's story, Lin Xiao fell into thinking.

Didn’t you find the same special symbols as those at other mysterious sites?

But the problem is, they have obviously found it in other places.

In addition to the two mysterious ruins found in the Shennongjia and Sanxingdui ruins, as well as the seventy-seven mysterious characters, the team members they sent to the Tamu Volcano have also discovered special symbols there.

As for Antarctica, the Mariana Trench, and Bermuda, they are also continuing to try.

But now they failed in the Mayan civilization?

Lin Xiao couldn't draw any conclusions about this and could only say that everything was possible.

However, at this moment, he was suddenly stunned.

He turned to look at Liao Cheng and said, "You just said that the only symbols that can be found are the characters of the ancient Mayan civilization?"

Liao Cheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."

"Let me see the photos of the Mayan writings taken by the expedition team over there."

Liao Cheng saw that Lin Xiao seemed to have discovered something, and he immediately attached great importance to it. He immediately called in various photos, all of which were taken by the expedition team at the Mayan civilization ruins.

Then Lin Xiao quickly started to read.

These photos are full of various Mayan characters. The ancient Mayans carved their characters on their ruins.

However, it is completely unclear what it means.

Mayan writing is very wonderful. It has both pictograms, meanings, and phonetic sounds. It is a kind of writing that has both pictographic and phonetic functions. A combination of hieroglyphs and sounds, Mayan carvings not only represent an overall concept, but also have their own unique pronunciations.

At the same time, Mayan writing is also one of the ancient writings that has not been completely deciphered so far.

Looking at the words on the photo, Lin Xiao frowned slightly.

If the Mayan civilization is really a mysterious and developed civilization, why are its characters so complicated?

The more advanced civilization becomes, the more convenient writing will become.

At least in writing.

As for Mayan writing, which looks like human faces, it doesn't look like the writing of a developed civilization at all.

Lin Xiao shook his head slightly, and then focused on the words again. After taking a look, he placed the first photo next to it.

"Not this one."

Then came the second picture. After looking at it for about two seconds, he put the picture down again.

"Not this one."

Then came the third photo, about two seconds later.

"No."

The fourth one.

"no."

…

"no no……"

In this way, Lin Xiao flipped through the photos one by one, and as he looked at more and more, the time he stayed on each photo became shorter. After looking at about twenty photos, he was almost It takes less than half a second to read a picture, which is almost like quantum wave speed reading.

When the people present saw this, they couldn't help but feel confused.

What is Lin Xiao doing?

What can be seen in half a second?

Is this Chief Lin trying to make them happy?

Of course, although they were all complaining in their hearts, they all unanimously did not disturb him.

Because maybe Lin Xiao can really discover something in half a second?

So just like that, they watched helplessly as the number of photos in Lin Xiao's hands gradually decreased and the number of photos on the table gradually increased.

Next to it is a pile of photos that have just been sorted out.

All these photos added up to a total of more than a thousand.

However, under Lin Xiao's "Quantum Wave Speed ​​View", most of it had been seen in less than a few minutes.

Finally, at the 900th mark, Lin Xiao stopped.

At the same time, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"found it."

"Found it?" Liao Cheng stood up immediately.

Most of the other people next to him looked blank.

"What did you find?"

Lin Xiao threw the photo that made him stop in front of Liao Cheng.

Then he said lightly: "As a civilization, the Mayans naturally have their own consciousness."

"And what would the Mayans think when they saw another type of writing that didn't belong to them?"

"The first type is to retain this kind of writing, and even think that it is a writing from the gods."

"The second type doesn't care about this kind of writing at all, and completely destroys this kind of writing."

"The third type is not to completely destroy the text, but to modify it, or even turn it into your own text."

"And as of now, the ancient Mayans chose the third option."

At this time, Liao Cheng had already picked up the photo and looked at it.

When he first looked at it, Liao Cheng was a little confused. Is there any difference in the Mayan characters in this photo?

However, after hearing Lin Xiao's words, he suddenly woke up.

The third type, modification? !

Then Liao Cheng carefully distinguished the Mayan characters in it, and soon he discovered the key.

Some parts of many Mayan characters were exactly the same as the mysterious characters they had discovered on other mysterious ruins before!

In other words, the mysterious words in the original mysterious ruins were surprisingly integrated into their own words by the ancient Mayans!

After discovering this, Liao Cheng was immediately excited. He never expected that those Mayans were so cunning and actually incorporated other people's words into their own words, making it difficult for them to find them.

So then, he immediately said to Lin Xiao: "Chief Lin, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, we don't know how long it would have taken to find him."

Everyone else present was still confused. Did they really find it?

They took the photos one after another. After a while of identification, they all discovered this magical point. Then they couldn't help but look at Lin Xiao in surprise. This Chief Lin was really inhuman!

It takes less than half a second to look at a photo and actually be able to identify what they're looking for in it.

Lin Xiao just smiled slightly, then his eyes flickered slightly and said: "In addition, Director Liao, I suggest you find an expert to decipher these words."

"The Mayans lived thousands of years ago. Maybe they knew these special words?"

"You know, there are countless secrets that have been lost in that period of history."

After hearing Lin Xiao's suggestion, Liao Chengdang nodded, but his eyes became excited at the same time and said: "I know, I will find someone."

If the Mayans thousands of years ago really knew these words of extraordinary origin, it would be of great help to them in deciphering the words of these mysterious ruins!
