From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

As soon as he asked the question, a picture popped up on the monitor in front of him.

Xiaomi: "Master, look, these pictures uploaded on the Internet, the contents of these pictures come from Mayan classics that may be inherited."

Lin Xiao frowned, and then saw a book appearing on the picture.

Then Xiao Mi said: "The contents of this book are all copied down. According to my identification, there are a lot of contents in it, which should belong to Mayan characters, so it is certain that this is a book inherited by luck. records of the Mayan civilization."

Hearing Xiaomi's introduction, Lin Xiao couldn't help being surprised, "Could it be an unknown manuscript?"

The Mayans were invaded by Spanish colonists in the [-]th century. After ruling the area where the Mayans were located, the Spanish colonists burned all the books of the Mayans that recorded their culture.

The Spanish colonists did this because they saw that the Mayans had their own cultural system, so they wanted to use this method to completely destroy this civilization. After all, the New World was discovered at the end of the fifteenth century. As far as those who are concerned, it is natural to use all methods to interrupt the development of civilization on the New World.

However, this kind of "book burning" event will eventually slip through the net, so in the excavation of later generations, four surviving manuscripts recording the Mayan civilization were finally discovered.

So far, these manuscripts are treasured in the countries of the colonizers, and they are precious historical and cultural relics.

But obviously, the book above the picture is not any of these four books.

At this time Xiaomi suddenly said: "I found it. The person who took this picture is a descendant of the Mayans! This year he is over 70 years old, and this is passed down from his family."

"And in order to prevent this manuscript from rotting away completely, he photographed every page of this manuscript and saved it in his personal space."

"However, these photos have been encrypted by him and have not been made public, probably because he doesn't want to make them public. He is afraid that they will be snatched away after they are made public. In addition, he is also very hostile to those colonial countries in Europe. .”

Lin Xiao frowned suddenly, but he didn't expect such a harvest.

The Mayan civilization is extinct, but the Mayans are not completely extinct, because for the original Spanish colonists, they wanted to achieve a better rule over the Mayans by cutting off the Mayan culture, so naturally there are Mayans Human descendants survive to this day.

Of course, this kind of hatred belonging to the extinction of civilization must not be forgotten by these Mayan descendants.

Therefore, it is natural that some descendants of the Mayans kept their inherited things secret and did not reveal them at all.

Lin Xiao couldn't help guessing immediately: "According to this, there are nearly 200 million Mayan descendants in the world now, and maybe there are just a few of them who are just like this person and have passed down some secrets. Are the Mayan artifacts preserved?"

"Well, it's very possible." Xiaomi replied, "I'll search the Internet again."

Although its computing power is astonishing, it can easily scan the huge human database, but unfortunately, the premise is that Qiankun No. [-] can be completely controlled by it.

Now it can only mobilize one percent of the computing power.

And what is involved now is the work that needs to identify pictures, so it still takes a certain amount of time.

Of course, at least the current search scope has been limited to the more than 200 million remaining Mayan descendants today, so for it, it can be regarded as saving the time it would have needed to search the whole world.

However, regarding this matter, Lin Xiao couldn't help.

After all, he is not artificial intelligence.

"However, the picture of this new manuscript can be handed over to Professor Ji Yang. Maybe it will be of great help to his deciphering work?"

Lin Xiao thought about it, and then made a decision.

After saving these pictures in the USB flash drive, he took these things to the headquarters of Yueshi Division, and then found the office where Professor Ji Yang was.

After entering this office, he was taken aback.

This office wasn't very big, but now it's filled with all kinds of books, and it's almost impossible to get a foothold.

As for these books, they are all books in foreign languages, and some of them look very old.

Lin Xiao picked up a copy from the floor, good guy, it was published in 1956 by the Spanish publishing house.

"Huh? Chief Lin, why are you free to visit me, an old guy?"

At this time, an old man's head appeared in a pile of books. It was Ji Yang. At this time, he was sitting on a ponytail, wearing reading glasses, and he was probably studying a book in front of him.

Lin Xiao waved his hands and said helplessly, "Professor Ji, is this how you usually study?"

"Haha, I'm used to it, it was like this when I was young."

Ji Yang smiled, then stood up and said to Lin Xiao, "Come in."

Lin Xiao worked hard to find a few places to stay, and finally came to the side of the desk.

"Tell me, Chief Lin probably came to chat with me, right?"

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Professor Ji, don't get excited about what I'm going to show you next."

Ji Yang laughed, took off his reading glasses, took a piece of glasses cloth from the side and wiped them slowly, and said at the same time: "I am an old man, there are not so many things that can excite me."

"That's good."

Lin Xiao nodded, then took out the USB flash drive and opened the content on the computer in Ji Yang's office, first of all was the first photo.

"Professor Ji, look at this thing."

Ji Yang nodded, and looked at the picture on the screen with a little curiosity. He really wanted to know what it was that made Lin Xiao feel excited.

He didn't believe that there was anything in this world that could excite an old man in his 80s.

However, when he glanced over it for the first time, he froze, and then cast his eyes tightly on it.

Then he hurriedly took his reading glasses from the side and put them on again, then he widened his eyes in disbelief and said, "It's not Codex Paris, Codex Madrid, Codex Gloriana and Codex Gloriana." The Driston Codex...is this...is this a new Mayan Codex?!"

"My God, is this a miracle discovered?"

His eyes widened in disbelief.

Then he snatched the mouse from Lin Xiao's hand and looked back, and every picture in it was the same as the first picture, recording Mayan characters.

For this master of linguistics, especially the master of various ancient text studies, this kind of thing is his rare treasure.

"And...the records on it turned out to be... some scientific achievements of the Mayans, this is really..."

Suddenly, Professor Ji Yang turned to look at Lin Xiao, then grabbed Lin Xiao's arm, and said, "Chief Lin! Where did you find this thing?"

Lin Xiao shook off the old man's hand, and then said: "This is when I was studying in France, I met a descendant of the Mayans, and I asked him some time ago why he came from his grandfather's house. Turned out."

Ji Yang was taken aback, "The descendants of the Mayans?"

"Well." Lin Xiao nodded slightly, and then said: "So, I have reason to believe that among the descendants of the Mayans that still exist in the world, it is very likely that one of them may have some inheritance from the ancient Mayans. The ancient relics that came down."

"This……"

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Ji Yang forgot to ask about the Mayan descendant Lin Xiao met.

Then Ji Yang nodded and said: "Indeed, what you said is not impossible. Even if the Spaniards in the sixteenth century searched, it would be completely unreasonable to destroy everything."

"When I was doing archaeology abroad, I also met and communicated with some descendants of the Maya. My in-depth research on Mayan writing is really thanks to the descendants of the Maya, and I did find some of them. I found some ancient Mayan cultural relics, but I have never seen this kind of ancient books with written words before."

"If you say that..."

Thinking of this, Ji Yang's eyes lit up.

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Well, I think we should try to send someone to contact those Mayan descendants, maybe there will be unexpected gains."

"That's right! Just right, I also know some friends of Mayan descendants, maybe I can get their help."

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Then I will trouble you."

"I still want to thank Chief Lin." Ji Yang waved his hand, and then suddenly asked: "By the way, Chief Lin, the Mayan descendant you know..."

"Don't bother that one. He said he would give this thing to me, and he also hoped that I could help them spread the glorious history of the Mayans in the future, but their family didn't want others to know that it was inherited by their family. a book."

Lin Xiao made up the reasons he had already prepared.

Hearing what Lin Xiao said, Ji Yang had no doubts, and then nodded solemnly.

"I see."

……

In this way, the next Yueshi Division began to mobilize resources to try to contact those Mayan descendants.

But after all, they are in their country, so their actions should not be too obvious, and it is impossible to send too many people, so the progress is very slow at the beginning.

Of course, after all, there are still millions of Mayan descendants, so they are not in a hurry, so they proceed slowly.

As for Professor Ji Yang, he also started to translate the novice manuscript. The progress of this process is also relatively slow, but it is still going on normally.

In this way, time passed quickly.

Until the beginning of May.

……

The launch rocket in the Mars program has been flying in space for more than a month.

On the moon base, the six team members are still living a vacation-like life on the moon.

However, at this time, a piece of news from Huaguo Space Agency broke this short-term tranquility.

[Our country will implement the manned fire plan on June [-]st! 】

As soon as the news came out, other countries were dumbfounded.

Now that the window period has passed, how do you get on the fire? !

Chapter 498 Conspiracy

When the Huaguo Space Administration officially announced this sudden news, the shock of the whole world was obvious.

For the earth society that has been accustomed to launching rockets to Mars during the so-called fire landing window in the past, it is obviously difficult to accept a sudden action to break the rules and carry out fire landing.

This is like the continuous improvement of the level of science and technology, which is unacceptable to many people who have become accustomed to living at the level of science and technology in the past.

Huaguo has achieved many important achievements in the aerospace field over the years. As a result, are they even going to challenge what they used to take for granted?

Of course, for the vast majority of countries, this incident really surprised them, but it was only a surprise.

There are very few people who have the strength to conduct Mars exploration, let alone manned missions to Mars. Up to now, there are only three countries that have the ability to completely independently conduct manned spaceflight, let alone manned missions to Mars. up.

So for them, it's just a surprise, and this track is not prepared for them.

But, for the United States, this matter is very anxious for them.

After all, their rocket was only launched a month ago and still has more than five months to reach their destination.

But now Huaguo suddenly announced at this time that they would also carry people to the fire. Although it is not yet known where Huaguo's grasp came from, but no matter what, this also gave them an extremely nervous feel.

Wright House.

"Eisenberg Candy! Now! I need you to explain to me what's going on!"

"I can't!"

In the president's office, the president slammed the table and questioned his space agency chief.

But the director of his space agency, with the same incomprehensible expression on his face, then poked his neck and said to the president that he didn't know.

But obviously, his answer irritated the president's already very angry mood at this time.

"I don't know? This is the answer you gave me? Eisenberg Candy, I think you want to lose your job!"

The President looked at Eisenberg Conti coldly.

At this time, Eisenberg Condy also had the expression of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water. He continued to stalk his neck and was about to show resistance. Obviously, he did not intend to continue to suffer from this anger.

However, at this moment, the Secretary of State next to them stopped them and said, "Two, two, let's stop arguing, after all, it's useless."

"After all, people have already made a decision, so I think we might as well discuss how to solve this problem."

The Secretary of State's words finally extinguished the anger between the two.

Of course, for the president, it is obviously not that easy to let this matter be exposed, so he then glanced at the Secretary of State and said, "Then if you say that, does it mean that you have something to do? "

The Secretary of State smiled, and then said, "I just had that idea."

"They just announced this matter now, and then they will start this plan a month later. Although they may have planned this matter for a long time, the sudden announcement is just to catch us by surprise, but for their citizens, it is obvious. I don't know."

"And at this time, we can guide the speech among their citizens, and then let their citizens speak out to make them stop. Will we be able to stop them?"

The president frowned, then asked, "What if they still plan to launch?"

"Then plan B."

"Plan B?"

The Secretary of State smiled slightly, then took a report from the side and handed it to the President, "Look at this."

The president accepted the report in doubt, and after a while, his eyes lit up: "Boeing actually came up with this technology."

The thing in this report is a new type of space weapon.

It is now 2029, and even the research of sixth-generation fighter jets in various countries has entered a critical juncture, and space weapons are also considered to be an important weapon on the future battlefield.
