I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 711 Iaukgnaf Language
The Jelly King repeated it again, but what Mo Ling heard was still a series of "muddy" syllables and strange sounds without any meaning.

Mo Ling also imitated the Jelly King's pronunciation, trying to pronounce the strange word, but he couldn't pronounce it. Mo Ling immediately determined that this was a word that humans could not say...

"Iauk...gnaf..."

Mo Ling's throat seemed to be stuck and he couldn't utter those distorted syllables at all.

The Jelly King quickly interrupted Mo Ling's attempt.

"Don't try, my friend. There's no point."

"Why?" Mo Ling asked puzzledly.

"The word itself has no meaning. It's just a 'pronoun' and the pronunciation is random." The Jelly King explained calmly.

It pointed at the book in Mo Ling's hand, and Mo Ling understood and handed the book over.

The Jelly King slowly opened the book, then stood under the window of the library, letting the light from outside shine on the pages.

Incomprehensible words were engraved on the crystal clear pages, sparkling under the orange light.

The Jelly King leaned against the window, looking at the pages and frowning.

Apparently, it was having some trouble reading this book...

"That day, the orange waves hit Orange Island, and even the shore was dyed with color..."

The Jelly King recited the contents of the book in its standard broadcasting voice. After its translation, Mo Ling was finally able to understand it...

……

The orange light gradually occupied Orange Island, and the people on the island discovered that there was a deviation in their own and others' perception of things.

"It's obviously a coin, but he thinks it's a stone!"

Under the influence of the orange light, Orange Island's monetary system collapsed instantly.

Not only that, but life was also affected. When some people picked up a cup to drink water, in the eyes of others, they were holding a stone knife.

Everything is in chaos...and the riots started because of this. The people on Orange Island argued endlessly and began to "define" what is "right" in their own eyes, and no one would submit to anyone else.

Gradually, the people on the island spontaneously formed "cognitive camps". People in the camps had similar cognitions of the same thing. Although there were cognitive biases among them, these biases would not cause conflicts.

They were obviously relatives and friends on the same island, but they were separated because of their different perceptions. The conflicts intensified and finally led to a massacre.

People in one cognitive camp "cleaned" people from another camp because they felt that the people in the other camp were polluted, and if they were not cleaned up, the pollution would spread quickly.

The massacre completely ignited the powder keg, and fighting broke out between the camps on the island.

Until finally, there was only one cognitive camp left on the island.

They are the ultimate winners and have gained the power to "define correctness", completely unifying the cognition of the entire Orange Island.

"The leader of this cognitive camp is my ancestor, the first generation king..."

The Jelly King calmly recounted what his ancestors had done.

"In order to maintain his rule, the first king ordered that the records of the unrest be sealed up. After the Iaukgnaf language was invented, all records were converted into Iaukgnaf and hidden in the library..." The seemingly peaceful Orange Island once witnessed an inhumane massacre.

The road to kingship is bound to be full of blood, and after gaining power, history will definitely be "corrected".

These histories are not conducive to governance and are destined not to be spread.

The Jelly King knew this very well, but it still told Moring this history without reservation.

After listening to this history, Mo Ling also felt a sigh.

"At the beginning, the people on the island didn't know the specific effect of the orange light, including my ancestors. It was not until the rule was stabilized that my ancestors ordered to start studying the orange light. It was also at that time that the people on the island realized that the confusion of cognition was not a kind of pollution, but the influence of the orange light."

"That Orange Light Research Manual is also the result of that period..."

The Jelly King slowly closed the book and walked in front of Mo Ling.

Mo Ling looked at the book and asked a question that he was very curious about: "What is the purpose of the language used in this book?"

Hearing Mo Ling's question, the Jelly King picked up the book and calmly replied: "Eliminate differences in understanding."

"How to eliminate it?" Mo Ling asked.

The Jelly King walked towards the corner where the books were stored while continuing to talk to Mo Ling:

"After studying the orange light, the first generation of kings felt a deep fear. The orange light modifies cognition silently. The creatures in it cannot detect the problem at all. Even if there is a distortion, they will only feel it is absurd."

"Just like the conversation between us, although it sounds fine, it is actually the result of layers of compilation. Our mutual 'understanding' and 'recognition' are also based on falsehood."

"Essentially, what I said was completely different from what you heard."

"The first king could not accept such falsehood, so he began to study how to bypass the orange light and convey the most 'real' meaning."

"However, the orange light is everywhere, and it is not easy to bypass it. He never figured out how to bypass it until his death. Therefore, this important task fell on the second generation king."

"The second king learned from the experience of the first king. He tried to bypass the compilation by using codes. He broke down the language we used into different syllable letters. These letters can be combined into words. As long as the letters are transmitted in order, the meaning of 'standard' can be conveyed."

"However, this approach still fails, because these letters cannot bypass the orange light and will also be distorted by it. The order, meaning, and writing method... will all become something else."

"The scary thing is that even if these letters are completely disrupted by the orange light, they can still be understood by others. Moreover, because of their simplification and fragmentation, these letters are more easily misinterpreted and more likely to cause ambiguity. The second-generation king was worried that this new language would cause a new round of cognitive struggles, so he had to give up his hard work and sealed up this type of letters."

"He became depressed and died not long after..."

"Later, the third and fourth kings did not study how to bypass the orange light... until the fifth king, who accidentally found the letters studied by the second king in the library and learned about the efforts of his ancestors. He decided to continue their legacy and find a way to break the orange light blockade."

"He thought these letters were the key to breaking the orange light blockade, but they were too complicated and not concise enough."

"The fifth king spent a long time studying the substitution and simplification of letters. He also found other scholars on Orange Island to analyze the properties of the language. Based on the letters left by the second king, he continued to optimize them. Those letters became simpler and simpler. Finally, the fifth king finally understood..."

"The most suitable language should only require two symbols..."

"0 and 1."
