Qianling password

In the panic, no one knew what happened.

When everything stabilized, they found themselves sitting on the ground.

Yu Lanting's right hand pressed on the ground subconsciously grabbed the soil on the ground, held a little in the palm of his hand, and leaned closer to his eyes for a closer look.

The soil here is fine and soft, with almost no moisture.Yu Lanting slowly released the soil from his hands, and patted the remaining ash on his hands.

The surrounding ground is not all fine soil, there are some sporadic and irregular clods of soil and stones.

Yu Lanting habitually raised her hand and rubbed the hollow between her brows. The right arm that was raised with difficulty made her feel doubly heavy, and now her whole body was abnormally heavy.

This sense of weight exists objectively, not just in feeling.In addition, she also felt a squeezing sensation similar to that in a swimming pool, but without the buoyancy of the swimming pool, only a heavier sinking feeling.

The air was filled with mist, but it did not cause breathing difficulties.On the contrary, the air here is dry and cool, suitable for breathing, and the thick fog only causes extremely low visibility in the surrounding field of vision.

A faint light flickered in the air, Yu Lanting looked up, and there was a red "sun" in the sky. The "sun" is not surrounded by thorns as usual, but has a regular circle like the first sun or the setting sun.Not far away, there is a round of white "big moon" in the sky on the other side. Even if there is no reference around, you can feel that this round of white full moon is "big" to be unusual.

"Can I get up?" Yu Lanting tried to change her position, she got up with difficulty, and put a hand on Wu Tingxi beside her.

"Yes." Wu Tingxi took Yu Lanting's warm hand, stood up slowly, and patted the dust off her skirt.

"Do you feel that your body is heavy? There is no other problem with your body?" Yu Lanting stroked his sore neck and turned it back and forth a few times.

"Fortunately, I'm fine." Wu Tingxi grabbed the corner of Yu Lanting's clothes violently, "Look quickly, what is that?"

Yu Lanting turned his head, and with the help of the scattered light, he broke out in a cold sweat: "That can't be a person, can it?"

Wu Tingxi narrowed her eyes and shook her head lightly: "No, it looks like a big rock or a pillar to me."

The surrounding visibility is very low, and it seems that there is a relatively tall object in the distance. Compared with the irregular stones on the ground, it can be regarded as a big rock.Maybe it's just a slightly larger stone formed naturally, or maybe it's an artificial relic with some special significance.

"Let's go and have a look." The subtle light and thick fog make people feel chills down the spine, and the stones in the shadows in the distance are looming.The inhomogeneity of the air makes the blurred stone shadows seem to flow autonomously.

Yu Lanting vaguely had a terrible guess about the current location.They always have to find a breakthrough point as soon as possible to get out of this different time and space.But now, we can only hope for the stone in front of us.

Along the way, the two supported each other and struggled.Every time I lift my foot to take a step, I can always feel a different heaviness than usual.The soil on the ground was soft and dry, and the footprints of each step were deeper than usual, but not too much dust was raised.

As the distance continued to approach, within the visible range of the fog, the stones gradually appeared clearly in front of the two of them.

This is a stone about two meters high, divided into polyhedrons.The widest side is rectangular, almost perpendicular to the ground, and the surface is quite smooth, very uniform black, darker than the gray soil and stones on the ground.

The widest side is covered with fine patterns.What is particularly special is that the engravings on the surface of the stone are separated by grids, which may indicate that each group of patterns is independent of each other and has a sequential relationship.There are also some subtle incomprehensible symbols on the right side below each pattern.

"What a delicate stone carving." Wu Tingxi sighed.

"I'm afraid it's not just exquisite." Yu Lanting suddenly discovered a more frightening fact. The level of refinement of this stone carving far surpassed that of the industrial age.On the side of the stone used for engraving, if you look closely, you can find that its smoothness is quite unusual.Moreover, the dense engravings are even and uniform, with exactly the same thickness and depth, as if they were stamped with a laser.

All this is unbelievable.Yu Lanting still had to come to a conclusion: "We may not be on Earth anymore."

"How is it possible?" Wu Tingxi exclaimed.

Yu Lanting pointed his index finger to the sky helplessly: "Then have you ever seen such a sun and moon?"

Wu Tingxi also looked up at the sky, and the movement of twisting her neck was much more difficult than usual: "It's really different, maybe this is some kind of foreign land in Qianling, and many things will be different from the outside world."

Yu Lanting continued to look up at the sky with his neck up, although it was a bit difficult to maintain this posture: "The sun in the solar system is a yellow dwarf star. In the classification of main sequence stars, there are orders of magnitude differences in the brightness of blue dwarfs, yellow dwarfs, and red dwarfs. The brightness is obviously a red dwarf. The one that looks like the moon is not the moon. Its size and color are completely different from the moon of the earth's satellite. In addition, it has a ring belt. The only lucky thing is that this is a Goldilocks belt planet with a suitable temperature , Human beings can carry out normal life activities.”

Yu Lanting took out his phone, unlocked the lock screen, and quickly turned off the screen.

Wu Tingxi also took out her mobile phone and looked at it: "There is no signal here."

"It doesn't mean this." Yu Lanting turned on the phone just now because of obsessive-compulsive disorder.Immediately, she clasped the two ends of the phone tightly with the four fingers and thumb of her right hand, placed the phone as flat as one meter above the ground as much as possible, and then released it with as little effort as possible.

The phone fell to the ground in an instant, almost hitting the ground, making a hole, and the screen was covered with dust.

Yu Lanting was startled, quickly picked up the phone, wiped off the dust with the corner of his clothes, opened the lock screen to check, and finally let out a long sigh of relief.Just now she realized that the time was too short, but luckily it didn't break.

"On the earth, the free fall time of one meter is 0.45 seconds, and the time here is about 0.3 seconds. According to g planet/g earth = t square of the earth/t square of the planet, the gravity acceleration of this planet is about 2.0-2.5g, This is why we feel that our bodies are heavy. In addition, planets with strong gravitational force tend to accumulate thicker atmospheres, the air pressure here should be greater than atm, and the oxygen concentration is also high, but I can’t estimate it for the time being.”

Wu Tingxi frowned and listened carefully, but she couldn't keep up with Yu Lanting's rhythm. Ever since she studied liberal arts in her second year of high school, Wu Tingxi hadn't studied physics for many years: "I don't quite understand. Isn't it Earth?"

"I think it's very likely not. This stone should be left by an alien civilization. By the way, didn't you learn that language?" Yu Lanting remembered that Wu Tingxi had mentioned her major before, but couldn't remember Clear, I just remember that she said that she likes linguistics, "Can you try to decipher the meaning of the pictures carved by aliens?"

"I learn Chinese language and literature, how can I read alien characters?" Wu Tingxi complained helplessly, but she had to read as much as she could.

Upon closer inspection, the pictures on the stone carvings are comic strips arranged in order, not completely incomprehensible symbols.It may be to express the meaning more intuitively, to facilitate archaeology for their descendants, or to wait for other civilizations to land and excavate.

The patterns on the stone carvings are only indented, and the strokes are uniform, showing the content of the depiction concisely and clearly.

"In the lower right corner of each picture, there is a serial number." Yu Lanting looked back and reminded while moving his position, "the first picture has one dot; to the right, the second picture has two dots... . There are eight points in the eighth picture. To the ninth picture, draw a circle; in the tenth picture, add a point outside the circle. After that, add eight points outside a circle in the No.17 picture; No.18 A picture, with a dot added inside the circle. It's obviously nine bases."

Seeing Wu Tingxi's blank face again, Yu Lanting continued to add: "Actually, there is no need to be so troublesome. The order of this group of pictures is from left to right, then top to bottom, which is completely in line with the reading order of modern human civilization. same."

Yu Lanting looked back at a few more pictures, and the counting method marked in the lower corner was enough to confirm this conclusion.

When entering the tens place, add a point to the circle.When entering the hundreds place, add a small circle inside the circle.The dots inside the circle represent the extra tens, and the small circles inside the circle represent the extra hundreds.

Wu Tingxi looked at it very patiently, and after a while, pointed to one of the pictures, and sighed: "Look, this is a Trisolaran."

Yu Lanting chuckled secretly: "Are you kidding? Arts students don't only know about three-body civilizations, do they? There is only one red dwarf star in this galaxy."

Wu Tingxi pointed to one of the clearly depicted figures, and said solemnly: "I want to say that these aliens look very strange, as if they have three bodies."

Yu Lanting carefully observed several groups of graphics, and emphasized: "This is called three-radial symmetry. Many marine creatures are radially symmetric. It is not surprising that alien life looks beyond common sense."

Although the strokes are simple, it can still be seen that the intelligent life on this planet is like a lily plant that can move freely. The top is the reproductive system with three radial symmetry, the next is the center of the nervous system, and the middle is the body. Each part, the bottom is a three-radial symmetrical movement structure.

Yu Lanting fell into deep thought again.In theory, radial symmetry is a primitive phenomenon.However, it is obviously contradictory that this kind of alien life has already possessed a certain degree of civilization, and this planet has a relatively strong gravitational force, and the life form is not easy to maintain the original radiation symmetry.But after all, astrobiology is only based on human speculation, and it is not surprising how alien life surpasses common sense.

There are about hundreds of pictures on the stone carvings, and the counting method is quite complicated when it comes to the relatively later pictures.Moreover, according to this counting method, it is difficult to guess how to count to thousands.This should be a counting method that should have been discarded when civilization developed to a certain extent. Perhaps this is the same as the representation of pictures, and it is all for the convenience of other alien civilizations who do not understand their language and characters to study and understand.

The exquisite stone carvings with a degree of industrialization, and the counting method represented by circles, are basically consistent with the image of the stone platform on the Qianling Mausoleum.

Yu Lanting suddenly realized this fact, and couldn't help being startled.

A slight wind blew around, messing up the hair around Yu Lanting's ears.

The wind here is neither cold nor dry, and has a certain direction, which makes people feel like a monsoon similar to the surface of the earth.Yu Lanting was suddenly shocked, and realized that such a terrestrial planet probably has a large area of ​​ocean similar to the earth.

Yu Lanting looked at the uneven surface in the distance, and there seemed to be rolling hills in the distance, but within the visible range, she couldn't confirm whether there were river relics.

But Yu Lanting didn't dare to go far, so she could only look at the ground nearer, but she really couldn't find any trace of liquid water.

At the same time, Wu Tingxi concentrated on examining the engravings on the stone carvings.

At first, Wu Tingxi refused to ask her, an indigenous earthling, to identify the remains of aliens. She thought it was impossible for her to understand.

But looking at it, Wu Tingxi couldn't help being amazed.

When it comes to the early civilizations of the earth, agricultural civilizations can be considered to have developed independently and invariably.But the same is true for alien civilizations. Does it prove that this is the routine for the development of intelligent life?

What is even more surprising is that the stick figures on the stone carvings are clearly designed to allow all intelligent creatures to understand without barriers.Although this way of expression is not difficult to think of, what is really puzzling is, why are aliens so eager to let other intelligent life understand their civilization?

While thinking, Wu Tingxi looked at the last corner in the order of the murals, and stood up with difficulty.She patted Yu Lanting on the shoulder and reminded: "Actually, it's not difficult to understand. Alien civilizations were initially similar to slash-and-burn production methods, and then gradually established a fixed civilization, and then occasionally discovered some physical principles, and then developed. Technology, entering a higher level of civilization, which is somewhat similar to the civilization of the earth."

Wu Tingxi paused for a moment, squatted down again, and carefully observed the last few pictures: "However, the last few pictures look like a nuclear war to me."

Yu Lanting understood what this sentence meant, and immediately felt creepy, and followed Wu Tingxi to read.

In the last few images, a global map of the entire planet is clearly delineated in intaglio strokes.There are several crosses marking the geographic location on the map, and the following map shows dozens of crosses more densely. The meaning of the dozens of crosses probably means that dozens of nuclear bombs were blown up.In the last picture, the strokes are chaotic but uniform in thickness. It is conceivable that this chaotic depiction is intentional to show the destruction of civilization.

"Huh? Look, does this place look like it's on Earth?" Wu Tingxi pointed to the corner and said the pictures in the second half.

Yu Lanting didn't have time to worry about the negative effects of the nuclear war for the time being, and his eyes quickly moved to those pictures again.

Wu Tingxi kept gesturing the indented figures on the picture, and continued: "One of them looks like the coastline of East Asia, hey, even the outline of your L peninsula is so clear, does the other look like the outline of the Mediterranean Sea?"

In the several pictures pointed out by Wu Tingxi, the relative position of the earth and the planet is accurately marked, and at the same time, two enlarged maps are marked.

Even if Yu Lanting is not good at geography, he can tell that one of them is the coastline of East Asia and the other is the outline of the Mediterranean Sea.

The stone carvings depict the details of the coastline in great detail.Including what Yu Lanting can't remember, has also been clearly portrayed.However, Yu Lanting was very familiar with the map of Province L, which she hadn't been out for more than [-] years. Based on the coastline of East Asia, she could clearly distinguish the outline of the coastline of Province L.

Yu Lanting raised her hand to touch the indentations on the surface of the stone carvings, feeling the real tactile sensation of her fingertips, and then looked at the coastline as finely outlined as a vector illustration. Accompanied by the warm wind blowing across her cheeks from time to time, she felt an uneasy feeling of being in a dream. realism.

"This means that aliens have taken the initiative to observe Earth civilization? It's over, we have nothing to do with Qianling here. We were abducted by aliens, how can we go back here?"

It seems that the disc on the Qianling Mausoleum was not made by ancient humans at all, but it is the entrance to connect with alien civilization.

And this stone carving should be built to preserve civilization information before the aliens were destroyed, and the alien civilization was destroyed by nuclear war.

Yu Lanting looked around again in horror, and unconsciously covered his mouth and nose, but it was definitely useless.Although the surrounding air is breathable, there may still be residual nuclear radiation, and there may even be mutated alien creatures not far away.

The more Yu Lanting thought about it, the more panicked she became. She felt extremely regretful and felt guilty towards Wu Tingxi.If she hadn't insisted on looking for trouble in Qianling, then they would not have fallen into this situation.

Yu Lanting sighed softly, and looked at Wu Tingxi bleakly. Now she really wanted to say "I'm sorry" to Wu Tingxi, but she didn't know how to say it.

Inadvertently, tears flowed down the corners of Yu Lanting's eyes.

Wu Tingxi didn't notice anything, but hurriedly comforted her: "Don't cry."

A tear fell to the ground and into the soil without making any sound. Yu Lanting felt a white light flash before his eyes.

"Wait, I saw it flashed just now."

"What flashed?" Wu Tingxi asked.

"The stone carving flickered for a moment." Yu Lanting wiped away tears on the stone carving again, and the stone carving suddenly flashed again.
