Beneath Deep Space

"Okay, we will stay here for about one to two weeks. You all know our respective tasks, so I won't say more."

"You, you, you... and the rest of you, follow me to perform another mission!" Yu Yifeng stood at the front of the team and said with a serious expression.

This is the core area of ​​an indigenous village: a fire pit.

A pile of charcoal fiber-like things burned in the fire pit, baking the surrounding ground hot. Many nasty black bugs surrounded the fire pit. They wanted to get closer to the heat source, but they smelled the smell of special herbs and refused to come down.

About one or two hundred lizard natives lay lazily on the ground, seeming to absorb the heat from the fire pit. At the same time, they raised their heads and looked at Yu Yifeng and others curiously.

Now the first mission objective "Looking for Aboriginal Villages" has been completed and everything is going smoothly.

At this point, people will be divided into two teams. One team will stay in the village to conduct various experiments, such as learning the language of the lizard people, investigating their customs and habits, collecting underground biological specimens, etc.

The other team will explore the place where the "three metal nuts" appeared, that is, to explore the "unknown civilization"!

This is the more important task!

Yu Yifeng and a group of experts walked forward and found the lizard man leader.

This big lizard was still quarreling aggressively with the old lizard. When they saw the human approaching, they quickly stopped their quarrel.

Some language experts pointed to the metal nut on the lizard's neck, scratched it, and used the indigenous vocabulary they had just learned to make it understand the specific meaning of human beings.

Suddenly, a trace of panic flashed across the face of the lizardman leader, and he gestured with joyful gestures: "Ah, black and swarthy!"

From the expression, it seemed to be very scared and seemed to be talking about something bad.

"What is it talking about?" Yu Yifeng asked puzzledly.

The two sides began to talk stumblingly again. These linguists had been studying for a long time before they understood the specific meaning that the lizard man leader wanted to express.

One of the team leaders said with some uncertainty: "It is saying that the ornaments hanging around its neck and related metal cutting tools were found by their ancestors in the Forbidden Land."

"... After our ancestors found the treasure, they were cursed by the devil. They immediately fell ill and died? Those who survived were also cursed and could not reproduce."

The expert kept comparing the translations in the computer and said in a dignified manner: "That's a forbidden place, a place where death dwells! Anyone who enters will be tortured by illness and die quickly... It should be so."

Forbidden place? what is this?

Yu Yifeng, who takes materialism as his core idea, will never believe in these gods and ghosts.

Seeing the panicked expression of the lizard, Yu Yifeng thought for a while and said directly: "We are all messengers of the gods, so why are we afraid of the God of Death? Just let it take us directly, and then we will give it gifts, and ...I will never let it die!”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a soldier behind him brought over a thick suitcase.

What is inside is of course not banknotes, but carefully prepared by humans...

A gift to the natives!

Knives, lighters, and some foldable metal spears!

These things glowed with a beautiful metallic luster under the blazing firelight, and the lizardman leader and the elderly chief behind him were directly fascinated.

They couldn't understand what it was, so they were fascinated by it, and a series of saliva flowed directly to the ground.

Anyway...it must be something good!

The two lizards reached out to grab them numbly, but were blocked by a soldier.

Yu Yifeng smiled, picked up a lighter from the box and demonstrated. With a "click", a small flame emerged from the lighter's opening.

In an instant, the group of lizards were startled, and they pointed at the flames one by one!

"Selling big secrets! (Fire)"

"Selling big secrets! (Fire)"

They had been frightened too much during this period, and now they seemed numb. One of the young lizards reached out curiously and touched the lighter flame. It was suddenly burned and rolled on the ground, as nimbly as a twisting snake.

But no one paid any attention to it. Everyone was staring at the flames curiously.

Two lighters, one was given to the chief, and the other was thrown to the lizard leader...

They were a little panicked when they first started using it, fearing that the flames would burn them.

But soon they discovered the beauty of it. They kept chattering "click-click-click" and laughed like fools.

"Selling big secrets! (Fire)"

The lizards around looked at it with envy, "Fire, this is fire!"

Flame has always been something that the lizard natives have been puzzled by. It can bring light and heat, and can even warm life. It is their most precious wealth. However, these lizards cannot completely control the fire, and they do not understand how fire is produced.

But now, the small flame is restrained on the lighter. Is this the power of God?

"Lighter, this is called a lighter." A linguistics expert demonstrated.

"Big live chicken!"

The leader of the lizard men suddenly shouted fervently. There is no such word in the indigenous language. What it just learned was human speech.

"Lighter! It's a lighter!"

"Big live chicken! Big live chicken!" Even the old lizard screamed crazily. This is really a gift from the gods. It is so awesome that there is no doubt in its heart.

Plus sharp knives and metal spears...enough!

The gods are so generous. Besides, the gods’ orders cannot be disobeyed!

...even if you die!

A group of lizards discussed feverishly for a while, and then decided to send out some of the strongest warriors and the lizard leader.

They went back to pack their luggage, and they were fully equipped with large and small bags. Then, wow wow, wow wow, we went through some traveling rituals, looking very solemn, and then we officially set off.

Yu Yifeng saw that they were covered in leather clothes and had large and small bags full of food. He couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "Wait a minute, let them point out the direction. Are they going to cross the surface? Ask again. How long does it take to get there?"

Another hard time communicating...

The language team leader said with a headache: "They said that to reach the forbidden land, they need to cross the harsh surface. But they don't have the concept of time yet. They said they need to eat... 40-50 meals. According to our calculations, 40 meals Food, probably, uh… about 30 days away.”

Yu Yifeng was shocked. It would take a month to go. Isn't it too slow?

"Show them the satellite map and see if they can understand it. If so, we can go there by airship." Yu Yifeng thought for a while and said.

The expert could only hold the tablet computer to communicate in confusion.

Until now, the language issue is still a big problem, and people have not fully understood the language of the Lizard Aboriginal people. But luckily, their language is made up of words, which is very similar to human English, so it is still very fast to learn.

The language team leader made gestures for a long time and found that these lizards had no maps, directions and other related concepts in their minds. It was too difficult for them to understand them in a short time, so they could only use the elimination method.

Many lizards gathered around the scientist, flipping through pictures one after another. These were all flat cameras taken by ground reconnaissance machines. These lizards can't understand the map at all, so they can only use this stupid method.

If their "forbidden place" happens to be captured in these photos, humans can find it on their own.

"Ah! Ah!"

Suddenly, one lizard screamed, and the others pointed excitedly.

Yu Yifeng curiously walked over and took a look. The photo on the tablet was of an extinct volcano, an extinct volcano about... six hundred kilometers away from here!

It seems that this is their destination, which is really far away!
