Blessings to the beautiful stars

Chapter 248 Angles
Although the light language composed of the flickering lights of the starship is also a means of wireless communication.

And it is also one of the few ways to communicate with companions tens of thousands of kilometers away in this alien cosmic fragment where ordinary communication methods have all failed due to subtle differences in physical laws.

But it is still too unstable, and there is too little information that can be exchanged at one time.

Also, most of the adventurers Zuo Wu found were employed in the Star Sea Alliance, which is where all civilizations and races of the entire galaxy meet and gather, and the composition of the adventurers is naturally varied.

If there is no translation software in the horizon, the communication between these adventurers will be a difficult problem to solve; and now that the traditional wireless communication methods have failed, the cost of communication between everyone has risen to a higher level.

The lights of the starship in low-Earth orbit continued to flicker, constantly correcting the information of the lights that had been lost due to various interferences.

Zuo Wu's field of vision receives these lights and converts them into the language he is familiar with; and the words often need to be paused several times to form a complete and fluent word. Even so, there are still typos in it.

The same goes for those adventurers.

What they want to say, they need to convert their respective languages ​​into light language signals and send them to the low-earth orbit, and then wait for the companions in the low-earth orbit to send their messages like the listeners in front of the radio expecting the anchor to choose the song they ordered. Referred to the target person.

In addition, due to the differences between civilizations, some proper nouns in one language are often difficult to be directly understood by another language. The powerful function of daily translation will quickly find alternative words according to the specific context of both parties.

However, in today’s world where communication needs to be communicated by lights, it is naturally difficult for software to judge what the “context” is. Therefore, when transcribing these proper nouns, most of them will become some strange and awkward transliteration words.

and so.

When Zuo Wu saw that the natives on this powder planet called themselves "curators", their first reaction was that there was a communication problem.

And the information displayed behind the horizon seems to be more and more supportive of this inference. The word "curation" only appeared for a moment, and was quickly replaced by other pronunciations that are more likely to be accurate.

So it must be a small misunderstanding?

Zuo Wu was thinking, a little lost in thought, and pulled the breathing mask away from his face for a moment.

At first, he didn't feel anything, but after a few seconds, Zuo Wu felt his throat getting more and more itchy, and his lungs also began to protest violently; it was these fine powders that cheered and rushed to his lungs in the flow of his breath, and in them Rampage.

On the other side, Ji Zhi was still trying to adapt to the quicksand-like ground, and the four hooves that were wrapped in cloth to increase the surface area were alternately pulled out from the ground, and from time to time, invisible powder was thrown into the air.

Zuo Wu hurriedly put on the mask again, and at the same time tried his best to absorb it.

It's a little troublesome, although the essence of these powders is the same nano-creation as Gray Wind, each of them is made of countless nano-creation individuals sticking together, so it will be very slow to absorb.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zuo Wu slapped himself again, but it didn't bring much cool wind.

Maybe the air here looks clear, but most of the molecules in it are mimicked by tiny creatures?
Zuo Wu was thinking, and seeing Ji Zhi who was still working hard, said:

"By the way, Ji Zhi, I have never asked before, even the lungs and noses on your horse, do you need to wear a special breathing mask?"

The lungs and noses are the breathing holes on Ji Zhima's body, between the ribs, which are directly connected to the lungs. There are countless thorns on them to filter dust, and they are constantly secreting mucus. The centaur mother is extremely inferior to this, and has not improved recently.

It's just that in front of Zuo Wu, everything is a little different.

"Yes, why did you suddenly ask this?... No, at this time I should say 'No matter what you ask me, I will know everything',"

Sagittarius was puzzled for a moment, then smiled brightly, and raised the hem of her iron skirt:
"My lungs and nose do need a special respirator, but it is integrated into the 'iron skirt'. This mecha is indeed a product of the Centaur Ranch, and everything is thoughtful,"

"It's just because of the planet's environment. The iron skirt consumes much more power than before to filter the powder;"

"Really, this kind of environment is not suitable for the Hou tribe at all; without the help of creation, if we are naked here, we will probably be choked to death by powder within a few steps... Huh!"

She let out a cry of grief, because she was fascinated by the chat with Zuo Wu, and before she knew it, the quicksand-like ground had submerged her four ankles.

Centaur hurriedly pulled out her foot, and the powder flowed out from the gaps in the wrapped cloth strips, which had already affected her stride.

But Ji Zhi was very reluctant to untie the strips of cloth that Zuo Wu personally wrapped.

The Hou tribe is an excellent army. Their ancestors have galloped on various planets for the Imperial Alliance, and they have proved time and time again that they have strong adaptability to various environments.

Ji Zhi is a descendant of those armies, but she bluntly said that she cannot survive on this planet for a long time.

But there are natives here?Has this race been fully specialized for a particular environment, changing their physical makeup, or is there something else?

For example... They are the curators from which the technology hunters are split, and they should also have mastered many rare technologies?

Zuo Wu had already turned his footsteps to the direction where the natives were discovered, and then remembered something, and tilted his head to look at the gray wind who had been playing with the powder: "Grey wind, you found the natives on your 'carrion', how do you feel?"

"Well, how can it feel? Of course I'm curious about where they came from,"

"Honestly, this feeling is quite strange; Liaoyuan people don't leave dead bodies, and my 'meat' rarely becomes so rotten and unresponsive. It's really novel,"

Gray Wind "hey" stood up, clapped his hands, and suddenly understood something:

"Oh! I heard that your human corpses will rot and produce maggots and worms! Isn't it interesting, like having a new pet? What about the maggots that emerged from your family's corpses, would you treat them as The new life of my family?"

Zuo Wu felt his head hurt again: "...I don't think so."

"Why!" Gray Wind was genuinely shocked:
"You have always referred to the Chudan people as 'angels', and I have a general understanding of the angel culture of the Lower Dilian and the earth; angels are creatures that guide the dead to heaven, all of them are white and fat, not with 'maggots' Have almost the same features as the ones in the illustrated book?"

"Also, the 'maggot' will become a fly in the future, right? Gaining wings is like becoming a butterfly;"

"As for butterflies, even I know it has a positive meaning in your culture; why are flies different? Obviously they are all insects!"

And, Mr. Zuo Wu, don't you also have a heartfelt love for your Chongniang daughter?

Insect lady, insect man; butterfly, fly.

How much difference is there between the three?
Gray Wind still wanted to ask this question, but he always felt that it would be impolite to mention the specific family members of the other party before the topic of "life and death", so he didn't ask.

Zuo Wu didn't know how to explain for a moment.

On the other hand, Ji Zhi had some ideas and was somewhat suspicious: "Miss Gray Wind, in your millions of years of life, have you never clashed with flesh and blood creatures like us, and killed some flesh and blood creatures?"

Impossible.

As long as you have killed it, you will know how terrifying it is when the eyes of the corpse are gradually dilated, and then covered with a layer of opaque white film in the corruption, and gradually eaten by maggots.

After hearing Ji Zhi's question, Huifeng suddenly touched his face shyly:
"Well, this... I'm a little embarrassed to say it, but I probably didn't know this kind of personality before I met Technology Hunter, Liao Yuan and Da Khan. It's a little... colder than now;"

"I don't have much interest in anything, especially flesh and blood creatures, and I feel irritable when I see it..."

She covered her face completely, and said in a muffled voice, "So... the flesh and blood creatures that I met face-to-face can hardly survive, and they can't leave a corpse at all,"

"I let them all disappear in smoke, just for peace."

It turned out to be the case.

Zuo Wu and Ji Zhi looked at each other, then at the sky, thinking about the former owner of Duzi's body.

That chief was the one who discovered Gray Wind, he was really lucky, he met Gray Wind who had been lonely for a million years and changed a lot, and he saved his life.

It also made her finally give her body to Dutzi, so that she had Della. From this point of view, maybe she was lucky.

He tilted his head to look at Hui Feng again, and Hui Feng also tilted his head, but in the opposite direction from Zuo Wu, and his puzzled expression remained unchanged.

Zuo Wu sighed softly, picked up his steps again, and went to the direction where the adventurers found the natives of this planet: "Grey Wind, if you have any questions, just ask me."

"I also slowly learned all kinds of common sense from complete amnesia, and sometimes I have doubts about various phenomena, including 'life' or 'corpse'."

"If I explain it to you, it may be easier to understand, and we may have some more common languages."

……

The flashing lights in low earth orbit did not go out for a moment.

It was discovered that the adventurer who claimed to be the curator of the natives gave himself the characteristic name of the Imperial Union called Rong Liangyuan, and his treatment of these natives was quite gentle, just observing from a distance.

It's not that Rong Liangyuan's quality is so high. In fact, he has always had a flexible moral bottom line. This time, he is gentle only because his employer is the emperor of the Imperial Alliance after all, and he regards the country as his own private property.

Presumably no one likes to see outsiders playing wild and having fun in their own home.

It's a pity that Rong Liangyuan couldn't hide his ears and say that his actions didn't have any impact on the natives——

The power armor kicked up a huge amount of dust, and the lights that hit the low-earth orbit produced a Tyndall effect, and the dazzling beam of light could be clearly seen several kilometers away.

There are also light spots in low-Earth orbit, which may be a sight that has never been seen on this planet.

How would these natives react to such a phenomenon?
Rong Liangyuan is ready to record, perhaps this is the proof of future credit; the horizon has adjusted the focus again and again, staring at the entrance and exit of the indigenous tribe——

It was a cave, and the aborigines seemed to live in caves, and that mountain was one of the few things on the entire planet that were not imitated by powder.

The word "curation" was engraved on the entrance of the cave. Of course, Rong Liangyuan didn't know what it meant. He just recorded it with the horizon, and then deciphered it locally by the translation software, and sent the result to the low-earth orbit through the language of the lamp.

How would the natives here react when they saw such a vision?
Like the natives he had seen before, worshiping the abnormal phenomenon?Or hide in the depths of the cave like a frightened animal, praying for the world to be peaceful again?

Some expectations.

coming!

I saw an elderly figure stumbling out of that cave; Rong Liangyuan's pupils shrank because he saw traces of the creation of the interstellar age on this old native——

It was probably a life support device, but it was extremely old and dilapidated; some stones were hung on the life support device of this old aborigine for decoration, and it made a noise when it ran.

Rong Liangyuan thought, how to describe this scene with the unique language of Dilian?
By the way, it's like the closed primitive tribe took the lighter they got by chance as a gift from the gods.

Such aborigines who had a glorious past tens of thousands of years ago were not uncommon. Rong Liangyuan quickly shifted his attention away from those life support devices, and turned to observe the aborigine carefully.

The old natives were also walking hard on the powdery land. They seemed to be extremely curious about the occurrence of this strange phenomenon. They were surprised for a long time, and seemed to feel that this scene must be recorded.

He took out a slate, ready to turn the splendor of the glow at this moment into an image.

But I haven't waited for any handwriting to be written.

Another aborigine rushed out of the cave—this one looked much younger, at least he was more comfortable moving over the powdery earth.

Are the young people worried about the old native?Thinking so, Rong Liangyuan adjusted the focus of the video.

then.

He saw the young man directly knocking the old man to the ground!
The quicksand almost submerged the old native, but the young man didn't care about it. Instead, he snatched the slate from the old man's hand and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that it was not damaged at all.

The young man solemnly put away the empty stone slabs, and then took another look at the old man, as if the heaven and man had been fighting for a long time, before they finally calmed down and left the old man alone in the powdery earth.

Then the young man stretched out his hand, untied the old man's life-support device, and held the stone slab and the creation alone, treating them as treasures and returning to the cave.

Also, on this powder planet, the formable solids may be far more important than the life of the old natives.

Seeing that the old man was about to be swallowed by quicksand, Rong Liangyuan exhaled, and finally took action, so that the abandoned individual could be equated with death, and it would not hurt to save them.

What's more, your employer may be very interested in abandoned elderly individuals.

Rong Liangyuan stretched his muscles and took out his spare mask.

……

the other side.

Zuo Wu purposely slowed down his pace, because there were so many problems with Gray Wind that it was frightening.

Her eyes light up:
"I understand! You humans taboo corpses, which is equivalent to taboo death; and corruption is a real threat to your primitive society. After all, corrupted things can't be eaten, and they will spread diseases?"

Zuo Wu nodded happily: "That's right, that's probably what it means."

"Well, but after you have advanced in science and technology and can overcome the problem of corruption, why don't you make specimens of your family's corpses and keep them at home? It's such a good commemoration that we can see each other every day?"

Gray Wind shook his head and shook his head: "Really! The gaseous corpses of Liaoyuan people cannot be preserved, at best, the dead family members can only gather around the dead to remember the smell of it dissipating; I think Liaoyuan people will be very envious of you who can leave a memorial corpse like this! "

Zuo Wu raised his forehead, and finally decided to change the subject: "Is it very happy to be able to leave a memorial for the things that have passed away?"

"Of course." For some reason, Gray Wind took a deep look at the endless mimetic powder around him, thoughtfully:
"There is nothing more gratifying than that."
