Chapter 1561: Fooling around

In theory, binary language can be used for communication.

It's like Morse code, which expresses different meanings through a combination of dots and lines.

But the premise is that you have to have a code book.

The binary language used by the Glow Ion Hermitage is not Morse code. The specific encoding is something unique to them.

In other words, they have a language that is difficult for outsiders to imitate and belongs to their own people.

This is troublesome.

Even if Viola can make similar sounds with the buzzer of her personal terminal, she doesn't know how to encode it, so she naturally doesn't understand it and doesn't know how to answer.

What does he mean by this?

Questioning?

Or just a simple greeting?

Nodding and shaking your head obviously won't work in this situation.

The people behind Alyssa also knew that they might not be able to hide it anymore, and everyone was very nervous.

The other party beeped and saw that Alyssa didn't answer, and seemed quite confused. He tilted his head, revealing a mechanical artificial eye like a camera, which was a bit malicious and cute.

At the critical moment when they were about to turn against each other, Alyssa's personal terminal emitted a series of binary language, but the sound sounded a little distorted.

At such a close distance, the sound was not coming from the throat, so couldn't the other party hear it?

Of course he could hear it, but that was not a problem.

The people of the Glow Ion Hermitage would mechanize themselves, and there were many people whose sound-generating devices were not installed on their throats. Even if you use the chrysanthemum to make sounds, people would not feel strange.

The man standing in front of Alyssa nodded, turned around and walked back.

When he walked away, Li Chengxi's voice came from Alyssa's headset:

"Fortunately, I have foresight and really used it."

Alyssa lowered her head, covered her mouth with her hand and whispered:

"Do you know their binary language?"

"No, but you can ask."

The twenty minutes that Li Chengxi was away were not for dinner.

He asked Captain Maxim how they would greet people from the Glow Ion Hermitage.

Captain Maxim wrote down the binary greeting on a piece of paper, and Li Chengxi took the paper to Villania, asking her to use the equipment on the Swan to turn the combination of 0 and 1 into "language" through the buzzer, and record it by the way.

That's why it sounds a bit distorted.

"What did he mean by that just now?"

"It should mean 'Hello, fellow believer, may the Creation God Machine bless you'. Basically, unfamiliar members of the Glowing Ion Hermitage will greet each other like this, and the reply to him is 'May you become a gear in His great machine', like this."

Just these two simple sentences, ticking for a minute, so the efficiency of binary communication is not high.

In short, they fooled around, so that everyone would not be exposed on the spot, and then face the pursuit of dozens or hundreds of Glowing Ion Hermitage members.

Alyssa breathed a sigh of relief, and now, she just had to find a way to find an opportunity to sneak away.

"Don't be in a hurry, let's see what these guys are trying to do."

"I heard it was a ritual, won't we be exposed here?"

"But think about it, the so-called time weapon was created by the Glowing Ion Hermitage and the Red Maple Republic, do you think the ritual of these guys has nothing to do with this?"    It seems to be right to say so.

The Red Maple Republic is not doing well in the war, so of course they have to race against time to develop any secret weapons. The rituals held at such a time of tight time should not simply satisfy the need for prayer.

Besides, even if it is a prayer ceremony, Li Chengxi has Captain Maxim, and he knows exactly how to do it, so it won't be exposed.

So Alyssa didn't rush to leave, but just asked everyone to move aside a little, trying not to attract anyone's attention.

About ten minutes passed, and the doors on both sides were opened from time to time during this period, and each time a team of red robes would come in. After they came in, they were similar to Alyssa, finding an open space and standing there, and occasionally someone would come up to talk.

There was no requirement to line up, and there seemed to be no special rules.

Until suddenly there was a "ding" sound, and several lights at the end of the room were turned on, and the bright light shone on the high platform at the end made of boxes.

It was dark just now, but now it can be clearly seen that there is a holy emblem almost the size of a truck tire on it.

The outer circle is twisted like lightning, the inner circle is in the shape of a gear, and the middle is similar to a "big" character.

It is the holy emblem used by the Glow Ion Hermitage.

To be honest, every time Li Chengxi sees this thing, he feels complicated. These guys are strictly speaking Li Chengxi's believers, but because they used the wrong holy emblem, Li Chengxi not only cannot get the faith value generated by their prayers, but also cannot talk to them directly like contacting ordinary believers.

Otherwise, things would be simple.

As the holy emblem was illuminated, a guy with a scepter in his left hand, an incense burner in his right hand, and an oversized brass gear-shaped badge hanging around his neck walked onto the high platform.

This is a first-class priest. Although he is not a high-ranking official, he is the highest-ranking person that the members of the Glowing Ion Hermitage can get in touch with.

He turned his back to the holy emblem, faced everyone below, and then opened his hands.

Although one of his hands actually looked more like a mechanical arm that can only be found in a car factory.

The people below began to make a beeping binary language, which should be the sound of praise.

Four rotor drones took off dragging a golden-red banner, which was also filled with binary language composed of 0s and 1s, but Alyssa couldn't understand what was written on it.

She imitated the actions of the people around her, just like a sham. Anyway, it was dark below, and she couldn't see clearly whether there were any gangsters below from the high platform.

Later, Alyssa saw some other people with incense burners, untied the chain from their waists, held it in their hands and shook it gently from side to side, and a burst of green smoke that seemed to have no smell slowly floated out, and soon the whole room seemed to be filled with smoke.

Alyssa immediately panicked.

Although she put Captain Maxim's incense burner on her waist, she didn't bring any spices, let alone a lighter to light the spices.

What to do, ask the person in front to borrow one?

"Don't panic, listen to me carefully."

Li Chengxi's voice was still calm:

"Take the chain in your hand, you should be able to feel a structure similar to a rotating lock, gently turn it, there are numbers on it, the password is 548. Then turn a rotating structure under the incense burner once, and then turn it back half a circle. If you are not sure how much to turn, you can check it. There is a scale on it. Then move the incense burner up about 20 centimeters, then hold it down horizontally, and then shake it left and right like everyone else, and smoke will come out."

Although this thing is indeed an incense burner, it is actually an excellent magic item. The smoke emitted really has the effect of affecting magic machinery.

It's just that this excellent magic item requires a specific process to use. Outsiders can only use it as a decoration.

By the way, Captain Maxim's scepter is in Fang Lanyin's hand. That thing is actually a foldable multi-functional tool. Fang Lanyin uses it very conveniently when making preparations...
