Chapter 376 Learn a Foreign Language in 12 Hours

Ding Yi would not disturb his first meeting with the Eridanus until he received Ryan's signal, so he squatted in a corner of the laboratory for two days.

During this time, Ryan made several trips between the airtight transition chamber and the laboratory. Each time he came to the laboratory, Ryan would wink excitedly at Ding Yi, wanting to tell Ding Yi about his new discoveries about the Eridanus, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

Ryan even slept in the airtight transition chamber, and when he was hungry, he didn't eat in front of the Eridanus.

Three days later, Ryan came to Ding Yi and told him about what had happened between him and the Eridanus.

Eridanus people use a hexadecimal system because they have three fingers on each hand. Although they have five hands, they usually use only two for work, just like most humans are more dexterous with their right hand.

Eridanus people do not have the same visual abilities as humans. When Ryan held up a tape measure and gestured the markings to an Eridanus person, the Eridanus person thought Ryan was playing with a toy.

Over the past few days, Ryan and the Eridanus people have been exchanging ideas on the systems of measurement and mathematical calculations of their respective civilizations.

The Eridan who communicated with Ryan was the last Eridan on the Eridan spaceship. The Eridanus 40 system sent 23 Eridans to space, but due to radiation problems, only this one Eridan remained.

Humans on Earth have long since discovered the home planet of the Eridanus people in the Eridanus 40 star system, but they never imagined that a civilization at the same level as humans existed on that planet.

The Eridanus' home planet can be described as a super-Earth, with a mass 8.5 times that of Earth and a diameter twice that of Earth. It rotates extremely fast, and according to human time calculations, a day for the Eridanus is only 5.1 hours.

The Eridanans' home planet is very close to their sun and rotates extremely fast; its magnetic field is about 25 times that of Earth.

The combination of these factors results in the extremely dense atmosphere of Eridanus's home planet, which is 29 times denser than Earth's.

This resulted in the Eridanus star forming a radiation shield, and the Eridanians were never aware of the existence of cosmic radiation, nor did they possess any radiation resistance.

The last Eridan worked in the spaceship's engine area, surrounded by asteroid fuel. The asteroids protected the last Eridan from cosmic radiation, allowing him to survive.

Because they didn't understand why they were still alive, the last Eridanus human strictly adhered to all the rules and regulations they followed after boarding the spaceship, and has lived to this day.

Forty-six years have passed since the Eridanus spacecraft arrived in the Tau Ceti system. The last Eridanus was very cautious in the Tau system, searching for a solution to the problem of stars being infected by star-devouring organisms, but he did not make any groundbreaking discoveries.

This last Eridan man saw humanity as his last hope.

“I named him Loki.”

“Rocky, I understand.” Ding Yi looked at Ryan, who was both tired and excited. He had already made friends with the Eridanus.

“I’ve recorded Loki and the others’ language using software on a touchscreen computer; you can listen to it,” Ryan said.

“And I have more good news: Loki’s ship has enough planet-eating organisms to allow me to return to Earth,” Ryan said.

"Although living in other worlds would be nice, I think it's better to live in my own world, where everything belongs."

"How did you manage to exchange so much information with Loki in just five days?" Ding Yi asked.

“Loki’s language is very similar to Chinese. Unlike English, where each thing is described by a single word, I’ve recorded Loki’s language using software. We only need to record a few thousand words to communicate simply,” Ryan replied excitedly.

"Their writing system is also similar to Chinese characters, but I don't plan to learn Eridanus script for the time being. I'm happy as long as I can communicate simply using computer software," Ryan added.

"Understood." "Oh my god, I'm so excited. I've only slept for six hours in the past few days. As soon as I wake up, I'm talking to Loki. I'm so tired."

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Ding Yi asked.

"I'm going to sleep now, while Loki goes back to his ship to use the asteroids to create a radiation shield for it. This will take a long time, and our next communication will be in a week, which is one week on Earth. Our ships will be linked together for now, and we can discuss the collaborative research on the asteroids after I wake up."

Ryan returned to the dormitory area, secured himself to his bed, and fell asleep.

Ding Yi received the touchscreen computer. Ryan had taken detailed notes of the conversation, and the computer also contained a video recording, which Ding Yi watched attentively.

Ding Yi puts on Ryan's learning device and begins to learn the Eridanus language...

Ryan slept for 12 hours. When he woke up and came out of the dormitory area, he found Ding Yi wearing a learning device and making a whale song that was almost identical to that of the Eridanus.

"How did you make that sound?" Ryan exclaimed in surprise.

"It rotates by relying on a magnetic field," Ding Yi replied.

“During the 12 hours you slept, I learned the Eridanus language you recorded using the learning device. It wasn’t difficult. You’re right, Eridanus language does sound a lot like Chinese.”

"...You're terrifying. Is this the brain of a genius?" Ryan felt somewhat numb to Ding Yi's talent.

“You’ll be able to do it too in the future. When you cultivate your magnetic field power to a certain level, you’ll have complete memory,” Ding Yi said to Ryan.

"I've already seen what we need to do next in the memo. Once the planeteers have absorbed enough energy, they will begin to reproduce, but their reproduction requires carbon dioxide, and planets in the Tau system with atmospheres rich in carbon dioxide are our targets."

"The asteroids in the Tau Ceti star system stopped at this stage of reproduction, preventing their numbers from increasing dramatically, and thus the radiation from the Tau star did not decrease," Ding Yi said.

"you are right."

“Loki has been in the Tau system for 46 years. He has carefully surveyed the information of six planets in the Tau system, including their mass, volume, orbital information, and atmospheric composition. We only need to wait a week to exchange information with Loki to determine which planet is our target,” Ryan said.

"Have you figured out how you're going to investigate?" Ding Yi asked.

"..." Ryan started scratching his head.

He suddenly realized that he and Loki faced the same problem: they were unable to descend into the planet's atmosphere to collect atmospheric samples containing information about planeteer activity.

Ding Yi had naturally thought of this problem long ago.

"It's time to call in another outside helper," Ding Yi said.

“Would calling in outside help even work? I feel like it would just add another person to take a dump on the spaceship,” Ryan said.

"We need to find someone who can withstand 30 times atmospheric pressure with their bare body and can freely traverse planetary atmospheres and travel in space," Ding Yi said.
