Interstellar leader

Of course, the residence of the group was provided by a local tyrant.

Of course the Delphi family is also very rich, but the special status of having been in politics for generations prevents them from being too extravagant, otherwise they will be easily caught by their opponents.Renting a villa in the famous De Tier Waterfall scenic area, such a frenzied thing, only the second young master of the Li family can do it.

If Iloise is the history book of walking, then Albert is probably the golden mountain of walking.

Now, this golden mountain has been swiped with fingerprints, the indicator light turns blue, and the delicately embossed black wooden door is carelessly pushed open, and the door hits the wall with a "bang" sound.

Behind the door is a spacious hall, with unique crystal chandeliers hanging down from the high ceiling, and the interior decoration is simple but novel.A black and thin old man was sitting on the sofa with half of his body sunk in, looking very comfortable.He was holding a tablet in his hand, flipping through the news, and when he heard the sound of the door opening, he stood up and nodded to Li Qing.

"You are Lord Fu, right?" Li Qing extended his hand politely, "I am Isaac Lancelot, and Adelaide told me about your experience in 'Pioneer'."

Master Fu didn't say a word, just stared at Li Qing, a trace of suspicion and fear gradually appeared in his eyes.Li Qing felt a little uncomfortable being pierced by his gaze, frowned and withdrew his hand.Er Shao saw that the situation was not right, and immediately smoothed things over: "I said, how about we sit down and eat something first?"

After everyone was seated, Master Fu finally spoke, his hoarse voice was full of unquestionable firmness. "Mr. Lancelot, I can see that you are a direct descendant of Basdar."

Li Qing was terrified.But soon, he understood why. "Have you seen the video data of Emperor Keynes?"

"Yes. When I was a child, I inadvertently broke into the forbidden area of ​​the family and saw some things that should not be seen. Among them, there is an emperor who looks very similar to you.

"Miss Delphi should have told you that I am the illegitimate child of the Iser family. Since that mistake, my mother and I have been kicked out." In Master Fu's cloudy eyes, there was a little melancholy brought about by recalling the past.

"I'm not sad - the Yiser family has reached the end of their rope, I really don't know what they are still guarding." Master Fu sneered. "It was Basdar who gave them glory, and it was Basdar who made them fall into the abyss. But they deserve it, because they are thieves."

"Thief?" Li Qing was a little puzzled. What was worth stealing from the Yiser family, who were extremely respected and unparalleled at the time?

"They stole the Book of Gaia."

"It is said that the Book of Gaia is a book that records the early history of Gaia and Interstellar. At the same time, it also records the coordinates of Gaia in a strange form." Ilois interjected, "It is in ancient English Written, and the form of the coordinates is a list of the ancient English names of the star systems near Gaia and the corresponding interstellar common language names. For the sake of confidentiality, the ancient English names and the distance to the earth are written in another list , in another book."

Li Qing didn't need another book, the English names of the star systems and the distance to the solar system were all in his mind.

"What is the current whereabouts of the Book of Gaia?" Adelaide did not mention this in the document sent to Li Qing.

"It's gone." Master Fu said, "It's funny to say that the Iser family stole the Book of Gaia, but they couldn't understand ancient English, and they couldn't get another book, and instead they were hunted down by the royal family with all their strength. Didn’t you investigate the so-called Gaia ruins located on Harper’s Central Star? That box soaked in seawater was left by the Iser family.”

Adelaide brings a safe. "The Book of Gaia written in Old English is indeed lost, but there is another version of it written in 'Gaian language' with some strange symbols."

Ilois said solemnly: "My guess is that with the passage of time, the royal family themselves were unable to master this lost language, and switched to writing in an expression that is closer to the interstellar common language. If it is really impossible to express, use symbols instead. This is called 'Gaian language'.

"I may be very wrong. Gaia never existed. The complete language system has only been a series of prehistoric ancient languages ​​including ancient English, ancient Chinese, and modern interstellar lingua franca."

She suddenly became a little excited, and her voice raised a few degrees: "But how is this possible? Prehistoric ancient language and interstellar common language are so different! There is no transitional language? How is it possible! What happened in early history?! Gaia is not found , I will not give up!"

At this time, Adelaide opened the box.Inside was a tattered leather book without a cover.Li Qing recognized at a glance that the few pages of books with inexplicable symbols drawn and strange characters written on them that he had obtained from the Freedom Army before came from here.

"That's why we went from the Heralds back to Yige. We found the 'Gaian' version of the Book of Gaia in Yige." Adelaide made a joke after a pause. "I prefer to call it the 'messy' version though."

"It's better than old English that I can't understand anything." Albert muttered.

But I know things like Old English!

Li Qing burst into tears.

For the next whole afternoon, the few of them have been studying the scans and the dirty "Book of Gaia" that Li Qing brought.Several people had a heated argument about what that arrow actually represented, especially Ilois and Li Ershao, until Yi Ge's star gradually sank below the horizon and was replaced by a sky full of stars.

Which one will the sun be?

They ate something hastily, staring silently at the tablet on the table.Its screen clearly shows an arrow, "Yes" and "Terminal Star" written in Common.

"You might as well change your mind and read the other contents of this 'Book of Mess'." Joerg sat next to them and comforted them.

He only came one day earlier than Li Qing, and he didn't know much about Gaia's affairs. He had nothing to do at this time, and he shared a little of Olivia's work, which made his secretary on the other side of the galaxy breathe a long sigh of relief.

"Brother, but I don't understand other content!"

Adelaide let out a long sigh and leaned back, her mind was so dazed that she forgot that the stool she was sitting on had no backrest.She slumped directly onto Albert, whose face was so obvious that he was surprised, not only willing to be a human cushion, but also moved forward quietly, but was beaten by Adelaide again.

"No, you're wrong. What Jorge said makes sense. If you don't understand it, it doesn't mean there's nothing you can do. We can compare and analyze it." Li Qing gently flipped through the worn-out book, turning pages faster and faster. It's almost like scanning.Silver words and symbols were reflected in his pitch-black pupils, which were input line by line into his brain and compared constantly.

The room suddenly fell silent, and several people watched him flip through the hundreds of pages of the book in less than 10 minutes.

"You...you finished watching?" Er Shao said tremblingly.

"Well, don't make noise for now." Li Qing nodded, closing his eyes and recalling what he had just read.

"Words that appear frequently include imo, qha, kluns, fluf... the frequencies are about - no, no!" Li Qing stopped suddenly, he casually turned over the page with the name of the star, and moved his fingers line by line down.

"Look, this is the weirdest thing about the whole book, and it's what we've ignored."

"What?" The second young master still didn't understand.

"These pages are a list of the correspondence between the ancient names of the stars and the common language names. There are a total of 220 seven items. Although it looks messy, they must have been in the same format at the beginning. And we can see that in these lists, Some have the word 'yes' in Interstellar Common Language, and some don't." Li Qing said excitedly.

"Think about it, what does this represent?"

Iloise suddenly realized, and instantly abandoned all her ladylike demeanor, and slammed the table. "It's not that the arrow can indicate the name of a star, but the arrow with the word 'yes'! And it also appears in the names of other galaxies, which means that the character 'yes' indicated is shared by these stars!"

"But what's the use of this? Whether it's one character or two characters, we still don't know what it means?" The second young master frowned, feeling that several of his teammates had turned into code-breaking experts.

"Maybe you guys need to relax," Jörg chimed in again. "Especially Ilois, I understand your feelings as a researcher of historical language, but it's not good to be too nervous."

He closed the tablet in his hand and smiled. "Well, let's talk about your first impression when you saw this arrow?"

Er Shao only said one word.

"ugly."

Several people laughed.

Li Qing felt that this was a good way to inspire thinking, and then asked, "What do you think it looks like at first glance?"

At this moment, the atmosphere has become much more relaxed. Ilois pondered for a while and said, "I think it's like a timeline, how about you?"

"Vector." Li Qing answered concisely.

Adelaide continued without hesitation: "I still feel like a polar bond."

Er Shao felt that they were too academic.

"Wait... Polar key?" Li Qing muttered to himself. "That's right, since this 'Book of Mess' evolved from the ancient English version of the Book of Gaia, why can't there be mistakes in understanding?"

Only Eloise could hear what he was saying, but she looked more puzzled.

"They understood the suffix of the word as 'is', and those stars should actually have the same suffix is... polarity-polar. I should have thought of it earlier, polaris-polaris, Polaris!"

"Isaac, what are you talking about?" Eloise seemed to have discovered the new world, "It can't be Old English, can it? Oh, God, you know Old English?!"

Li Qing didn't answer her.He walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, pressed the switch, and the heavy curtains slowly opened like a curtain, as if the starry sky was an eternal stage.

The night sky was bright, and the brilliance poured down from the sky. He turned his head and smiled, as if there were stars shining in his eyes.

"Eastern Ortesa-Nine has a radius of 864.3 light-years, and the radius of the terminal star is 323 light-years. The two spherical shells meet to form a circle, and Gaia must be on the circle."

"Pack up your things and let's set sail tomorrow."

When Joerg was about to go back to his room to rest, he was stopped by Li Qing.

The corridor on the third floor was empty, and the lone orange light stretched his shadow very long, covering Jorge's body.

Joerg stood there quietly, his figure was blurred by the night, and his handsome facial features, which were usually sharp, became extra soft.Not wanting to disturb his sleeping friends downstairs, Li Qing approached slowly and quietly, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Thank you, Joel." He leaned closer and said softly.The two were about the same size, and at such a distance, his lips almost touched Jörg's ear.

Joerg took a step back, his heart beating a little out of order. "You don't have to thank me, I just added a few words unintentionally. You got the inspiration for deciphering Gaia's coordinates."

"I didn't mean that." Li Qing's smile deepened. "You think I don't know?"

"what?"

"You go to threaten Hehir."

Joerg raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised. "Who told you? Olivia?"

"Adelaide."

Joerg kept his official speech as usual until he raised his head and looked into Li Qing's eyes.The slender eyelashes fluttered slightly, and in the gentle black pupils, the eyes were frank and eager.All the lies suddenly became unspoken.

"Yes, I did this for you—Isaac, no thanks my friend."

Li Qing rolled his eyes and smiled. "Thank you is still important, and so are friends."

"Thank you, Joel dear."

The author has something to say: Adelaide is completely a god assist!

Explanation: about the distance from Polaris to the earth

The previous data was 434 light-years, which was measured by the European satellite Hipparcos in the past 323s.Later, a new value was calculated with a Russian astronomical telescope, 323 light-years, which was about five years ago.I can't seem to find an authoritative conclusion, but I found this report on the official website of National Geographic. The credibility should be pretty good, so I used the data of [-] light years.
