Chapter 4 Type 2 Civilization

Seeing this strange phenomenon, Yu Lanting suddenly broke into tears and laughed, "Wait, since human exocrine fluid can make it glow, what if I prick my finger again?"

Wu Tingxi almost didn't react, she just asked, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Yu Lanting looked at the dimmed surface of the stone carvings again, but his spirit became more and more uplifted: "I think there should be a definite location. Do you want to find the pattern corresponding to the Qianling Mausoleum? The small circle is two hundred in nine base, which is equivalent to 160 two in decimal."

Seeing that Yu Lanting was in a good mood, Wu Tingxi didn't ask any more questions.

As for what Yu Lanting just said, after thinking for a while, she pointed to a range above the stone carving.

"I've seen the graphic you mentioned, and it's probably in this position."

The two looked together and quickly found a certain pattern.

At the bottom right of the picture, there is a count symbol the size of a fingernail.It is a concavely carved circle with two small circles inside it, but they are located adjacent to each other and not on both sides of the same diameter.

"Where's your needle?" Wu Tingxi tapped her finger on the stone carving pattern briskly and asked Yu Lanting.

"I'll look for it." Yu Lanting took off his backpack and rummaged carefully in the interlayer. After rummaging through the interlayer and then the largest bag, he turned it inside out several times. His heart became more and more flustered, and he realized a fact, "I It seems to have dropped the needle over there."

"How come?" Wu Tingxi looked at her left ring finger and couldn't help frowning, "I think it's better to bite."

"Definitely not." Yu Lanting stared dryly, and vetoed, "Even if there are no mutated alien creatures here, we still have bacteria."

Wu Tingxi shook her head helplessly: "But we always have to go back."

At this moment, Yu Lanting vaguely saw somewhere lit up for a moment, and then looked at the stone carvings, but this time there was no trace of lighting up.

Yu Lanting turned his head again, and suddenly realized that something suddenly lit up on the side of Wu Tingxi's head.

"Hey, are your earrings silver?"

Wu Tingxi didn't understand why she raised her hand to touch her ear: "It's silver."

"Take it off, isn't this a ready-made tool?" Yu Lanting smiled again.

Wu Tingxi turned her head slightly, raised her hand and quickly took off the two earrings respectively, tried to lightly touch the tip of the silver needle with her finger, but still felt a little worried: "It's a pity that it's a bit blunt."

Yu Lanting raised his left hand and put it in front of his eyes, and pressed the nail of his thumb against the tip of his ring finger, finding the pinhole that was barely visible before: "By the way, it should be easier to stick in the same place as before." She looked again. Xiang Wutingxi: "Show me your fingers."

"You should tie it for me this time." Wu Tingxi handed over her left hand, and then an earring.

Yu Lanting pinpointed the previous pinhole and quickly pierced it. Seeing Wu Tingxi's not particularly painful expression, she felt a little relieved.

She quickly took out two sealed bags from her backpack, put the earring into one of the sealed bags, took the other earring from Wu Tingxi's hand, and pierced her finger likewise.

Perhaps due to the cooler ambient temperature, Yu Lanting did not feel much pain, and then she quickly put the earring into another sealed bag.

Yu Lanting understands that there are too many unknown factors in the surrounding environment.Therefore, the whole process is operated quickly and more focused than usual experiments.

On the stone carving, the circle below the picture is only about one square centimeter, and Wu Tingxi carefully dipped the blood into the small circle a few millimeters to the left.

Suddenly, a circle of ripple-like light spots quickly lit up near the circle.

Yu Lanting tried his best to suppress his excitement first, and then stained the blood on his finger into the small circle on the right.

After Yu Lanting's operation was completed, the surrounding light spots centered on the entire circle and had expanded to a certain range.

"Great." Seeing the area of ​​the spot getting bigger and bigger, Wu Tingxi almost jumped up excitedly, but found it difficult to jump up with the current gravity.

"We can go back now." Yu Lanting looked at the whole stone carving that was gradually lighting up, and was also overjoyed.

In a very short period of time, the circular light spot quickly expanded to the entire stone carving, and the bright white light seemed to be released from the inside of the stone carving, illuminating the surrounding area.

Yu Lanting could hear her own heart beating excitedly. Considering that the space might change at any time, and she didn't know where she would appear in the next moment, she took the initiative to hold Wu Tingxi's hand to prevent the two from getting lost in each other.

Wu Tingxi's illuminated face raised a charming smile, and she also consciously clenched Yu Lanting's hand, still staring at the stone carving.

There was a breeze blowing around, although Yu Lanting couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south, but Yu Lanting could still feel that the wind direction was roughly the same as before.However, Yu Lanting is too lazy to care about these details now, and only focuses on the changes in the stone carvings.

Time passed by second by second, and after the brightness of the stone carving reached a maximum value, it seemed to gradually dim.

At first there were only slight differences, and the two didn't pay attention until they could confirm that the surface of the stone carvings was really getting darker gradually.

Yu Lanting felt a little panicked, the palms of his clenched hands were sweating, watching the brightness of the stone carving dimmed several times, and finally turned back into a black stone again.

"How could this be?" Wu Tingxi let go of Yu Lanting's hand, and quickly ran towards the stone carving, tapping her fingers on the completely dark surface of the stone carving in doubt.

Yu Lanting stood still in front of the stone carving, squeezed his eyes hard, tried his best to adapt his retinas to the darkness, and tried his best to accept this fact psychologically.

"Could it be a shorthand?" Looking at the circle counting method under the pattern, the flickering light spots in Yu Lanting's vision still haven't faded away.

Somehow, Yu Lanting inexplicably remembered the two ways of writing benzene rings: "Is there another abbreviation for some full-carry numbers, the nine-base 640, which is equivalent to the decimal [-], converted into a circle Add eight small circles inside, can its abbreviation be written as two small circles with the same diameter inside a circle?"

Yu Lanting turned her head, but there was still light in her vision, so she had to wink again.

Under the dim scattered light, Yu Lanting saw Wu Tingxi's left ring finger in a trance with blood flowing from the fingertip to the bottom of the finger, and was shocked in his heart: "You...what's wrong with your finger?"

"Ah!" Wu Tingxi looked at her left hand and screamed suddenly, "I went for a physical examination a while ago, and it seems that the platelets are a little low."

"What should I do?" Yu Lanting was aware of the possible unstable factors in the surrounding environment, and the danger of human wounds being exposed to the air. "What's your blood type?" She suddenly asked this sentence, but found that this question had no meaning practical significance.

"Type B, what about you?" Wu Tingxi replied.

"I'm type A." Since he was the first to ask, Yu Lanting had no choice but to answer.

Wu Tingxi looked at her fingers again, and said nonchalantly: "Actually, it's not that serious. By the way, don't different blood types promote blood clotting? Why don't you try dripping it."

"There is still this kind of operation? Reverse thinking?" Yu Lanting frowned, racking his brains to think whether there was such a statement in any textbook.She thinks she has learned professional courses very well and has never failed a subject. Now the more she thinks about it, the more guilty she feels.She only remembered pricking her finger and dripping blood on the pick with antibodies to test her blood type. After thinking for a while, she said, "By the way, that means outside the body."

Although it is not mentioned in the book, after all, nothing will happen if you try it, even if it is just psychological comfort.

Yu Lanting took the initiative to pass his finger over, and the moment he touched Wu Tingxi's fingertips, he felt a slight chill.

The stone carving that had been dark for a long time gradually emitted light again. In just a few seconds, the whole stone carving was as bright as a screen, and then several horizontal and vertical stripes flashed. screen conditions.

Because of this sudden change, Yu Lanting and Wu Tingxi's moods were suddenly agitated, but this time they were more cautious. In order to avoid another empty rejoicing, they did not dare to exclaim rashly. They just stared at the constantly flickering stone carvings.

After the surface of the stone carving flickered a few times, it seemed to stop abruptly and went out instantly, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.

The two couldn't help feeling upset, and then turned to despair.

"How could this be?" Wu Tingxi still looked at the stone carvings, her fingers still did not move.

Yu Lanting took the initiative to move his finger away, and looked closer: "My finger is dry, I will pierce it again."

Since there was an unusual situation this time, Yu Lanting was almost certain that this operation was the real breakthrough point.

Not much to say, and soon, Yu Lanting squatted down and rummaged in the backpack to find the sealed bags. Although the two sealed bags were not specially marked, they were temporarily folded over the corners.Yu Lanting carefully confirmed that it was the one he had just pierced, and immediately took out the earring from the sealed bag and pierced it again vigorously.

After quickly tidying up the items in the backpack, Yu Lanting stood up, and put the ring finger of his left hand together with Wu Tingxi as soon as possible.The whole thing was completed in a very short period of time, and now try not to let Wu Tingxi do it again.

In an instant, the stone carving suddenly brightened.

The two of them remained motionless and stopped talking. They held their breath and observed carefully.

After several horizontal and vertical stripes flashed on the stone carving, a colorful picture finally appeared.

The content of the screen may be a video recorded in advance by aliens, or a whole documentary, which is probably the same as the purpose of the stone carving pattern, in order to preserve the information of the local civilization so as to show it to the alien civilization.

At first, there are only some simple and fast-moving light spots in the picture, and there are no intelligent creatures in the picture, but the evolution process of more primitive creatures.

Compared with primitive life, it has more symmetry axes and tends to be radially symmetrical, similar to the single-celled radiation worms on the earth, or the syncytium structure.But compared with life on earth, this kind of life in the picture is more evolved. Although the inner structure cannot be seen clearly from the spherical appearance, the lifelike and flexible tentacles around it seem to extend out of the screen, making people directly feel the reality of its former life.

Next, more evolved alien life forms are beyond the imagination of human beings based on stereotypes, even Yu Lanting, who is used to seeing marine life, is no exception.For example, some life forms that seem to be pieced together randomly, even the works of Dali and Klee cannot be compared.However, these weird images of life neither make people fearful nor find any sense of disobedience.Perhaps after all, because they have evolved for millions of years, they must exist very naturally.

The evolution of life on this planet is relatively rapid, and it has neither experienced five mass extinctions nor asteroid impact events.Or maybe because there are more content in the back, the content in the front is briefly processed.

Although the two focused on watching, but after watching such an overly recorded video for a long time, they felt bored.

About 5 minutes later, the intelligent life in the stone carving picture appeared on the screen. Compared with the simple depiction of stone carving, the film and television effect is of course more intuitive.

The images with low pixels and flickering stripes prove that this is an outdated film and television material preserved by the poor shooting technology in the initial industrialization era.

The images were transformed again and again, and the resolution of the photographic records was continuously increased.

The rapid development of technology may be limited by the shortness of the video.The scene switches to the spacecraft made by intelligent life to land on the nearest planet - the white moon in the sky.It is a planet of the same star system, not a satellite of this planet.

There is no sound in the image, and there are always alien texts at the bottom of the screen, but as far as human comprehension is concerned, these strange alien texts are completely equivalent to nothing.

The screen switched again to a scene similar to a news report, and then switched to a medieval-style building.

Wu Tingxi was the first to call out: "Look, it's on the earth, isn't that a Byzantine building?"

Hearing Wu Tingxi's exclamation, Yu Lanting blinked his eyes, as if he hadn't realized the strangeness yet.

"How do I know? Byzantium? Where is Rome? Holy or not?" Yu Lanting felt that the blood on the fingers of the two had already dried up, and the picture on the screen was not maintained by this behavior.But she still didn't dare to move a bit, she could only turn her head to watch carefully.

"Eastern Rome is not holy. Although there is no title of 'sacred' in front of it, it is a bit complicated to say." Wu Tingxi just wanted to explain in detail.

At the same time, there was another breeze blowing beside them, and Wu Tingxi's voice was a little erratic in the wind.In order to keep her attention, Wu Tingxi had no choice but to stop talking.

According to the wind direction, this time Yu Lanting can almost confirm that it is a monsoon.This means that if they cannot do without this terrestrial planet, they can even try to find water sources nearby.

For a moment, Yu Lanting was still looking at the meticulous patterns on the stone carvings and images of buildings, but he didn't realize that his mind had been distracted.

But the picture didn't last long, the shooting angle moved rapidly in the sky, and the picture changed again.

This time, Yu Lanting looked at the screen with his eyes wide open excitedly, and instantly concentrated his attention. He could easily identify the location from the screen: "Then...isn't that Mingtang?"

"It must be." Wu Tingxi moved a little closer to the screen, watching more intently, not wanting to miss a little detail.

Yu Lanting also followed closely, staring at the screen.

Of course they knew that the shape of the ancient Mingtang had long been lost, but what did the Wuzhou Mingtang look like?The golden phoenix on the top of the temple towering above the Panlong is already the most obvious mark.

Different from the simulated images produced by modern humans, the bright hall in the picture does not have brilliant colors, but has the grandeur and solemnity of ancient buildings.The tiles on the roof of the hall are dark in color and the inscriptions are exquisite. They just pass by in a flash, and it is not as good as the two of them observe carefully.

The taller building behind the Mingtang is easily recognizable as a paradise just from its height and position. It still doesn't have much dazzling color, only a sense of solemnity and luxury.

The angle of view flickered in the sky, Yu Lanting and Wu Tingxi were extremely tense and did not dare to make any sound.

The screen switches to the alien civilization again. Technology has developed to an extremely high level, and intelligent life begins to explore the entire star system it is in.

"Is this a second-class civilization?" Yu Lanting subconsciously sighed.But in fact, she is not sure how to characterize the specific situation of the type of civilization.

"What do you mean?" Wu Tingxi frowned and asked.

"The second type of civilization can use the energy of the entire star system. In fact, there are also the first type and the third type of civilization. The first type of civilization is..." Yu Lanting hadn't finished speaking.

"Look, it's a nuclear war." Wu Tingxi reminded loudly.

The screen changed rapidly, and within a moment, a nuclear war had broken out.

Immediately, there were no more scenes on the screen, the picture quality of the screen was blurred, and only the subtitles remained for the clear content, but it was impossible for them to recognize the alien text in the subtitles, which was equivalent to losing valid information.

After a few seconds, the screen went completely black.

Wu Tingxi and Yu Lanting rubbed their eyes in panic, not getting used to the low-intensity light yet.

Thinking that the space may change at any time now, Yu Lanting immediately tightened his backpack, and planned to grab Wu Tingxi's hand.

Wu Tingxi is now a little excited and a little scared.

It's a pity that after the two gradually adapted to the scattered light of the red dwarf, they found that the surrounding environment had not changed at all, and there was still a dark stone carving in front of them.

After the video was played, after waiting for a long time, the two still did not leave the place.

Another monsoon came, and the red dwarf star in the sky seemed to fall a certain distance lower than before. Yu Lanting even began to think about the feasibility of their search for water.

At this moment, Wu Tingxi asked with a bit of disappointment in her voice: "Since aliens can see the earth, why don't they immigrate before they are destroyed?"

"I don't know. If you want to launch a nuclear war against your own people, you shouldn't mind harming other planets. Is it too late?" Yu Lanting was still puzzled when he said this, but then a bold guess appeared in his mind , "No, aliens may have emigrated."

"What does it mean to have immigrated?" Wu Tingxi gently rubbed her left elbow, which had been in a fixed position for a long time, with her right hand.

The double gravity is really not easy to bear, Yu Lanting also moved his body, raised his hand to caress the surface of the stone carving again, his expression added a bit of elusive helplessness and difficulty: "Isn't it strange that it can recognize human blood?"
