The road to technology

Chapter 821 Let's play mahjong first
During the waiting period, Shang Shaojian and Dr. Banks had finished a table of meals when two figures appeared on the other side of the mirror.

Yue Yuanzhou looked from a distance, and found that these two heptapods were no longer the two before, and the one who came here should be the knowledgeable person in the heptapods.

Soon, the two heptapods stepped on seven elephant legs and walked to the mirror with a bang, and then sprayed out a black circle.

"Sir, are they introducing themselves?" Shang Shaojian approached after a full meal and asked.

With a wave of his hand, Yue Yuanzhou turned all the leftovers on the table into a data stream, and then replied: "Yes, the one on the left said it was called Benboerba, and the one on the right was called Baboerben."

Shang Shaojian: "..."

What is this strange name?
He felt that these two names were somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them.

Yue Yuanzhou didn't explain either, the two names were just translations anyway.

Just like the names Dr. Banks translated for the two heptapods at the time, in fact, Banks understood the self-introduction of the two heptapods at the time, and she just said it casually.

The same is true for Yue Yuanzhou now, it's just a code name, it's harmless.

After the introduction of the two heptapods, Yue Yuanzhou didn't talk nonsense, and directly taught them simple mathematics. Suddenly, a series of formulas and related explanations popped up in the mirror.

Different from the previous calculus and variable calculus, these formulas are so simple that even Shang Shaojian, the vice-admiral of the East China Sea Fleet who has not touched mathematics for many years, can understand some of them.

Because the content that Yue Yuanzhou sent out was basically the mathematics content of the [-]s and [-]th grades, that is, the content of the second and third grades of junior high school. These simple algebraic geometry were basically understood by everyone present.

But not the two heptapods at the other end of the mirror.

After seeing Yue Yuanzhou's content, the two heptapods began to communicate with each other with a sound like water splashing, but they communicated for more than ten minutes but still did not give the heptapod civilization's mathematical description of these contents .

It seems that these contents are too difficult for them!

Half an hour later, Yue Yuanzhou noticed that seven or eight heptapod barrels had arrived at the other end of the mirror. After they arrived, they did not say anything to Yue Yuanzhou and the others, but directly participated in the running and battering in the misty environment. Erben's discussion.

Finally, after almost half an hour, they finally gave their mathematical description.

"very good!"

Seeing the result, Yue Yuanzhou praised it, but he didn't give the heptapod a break, so he held his hand for a while, and a piece of simpler mathematics appeared again.

According to his estimation, it would take at least one or two hours for the heptapod to completely describe these mathematical contents in his own words.

It's just time, Yue Yuanzhou has plenty, the key is that he has nothing else to do so he is not in a hurry, and he is also very patient now, because he wants to know what is going on with these heptapods with abnormal brain circuits.

Sure enough, after more than two hours of calculation and discussion, the heptapods finally described the mathematical formula that humans find very simple.

However, this is not over yet, they have just come up with the results, and Yue Yuanzhou dumped a bunch of simple mathematical concepts in the past, such as what is a point, what is a line segment, what is a plane, and why 1+1 equals 2 and so on. .

As soon as these problems appeared, the heptapods on the other side of the viewing mirror were really confused, so their discussion teams became more and more. In the end, not only the heptapods in this spaceship joined in the thinking and discussion, but also in other The heptapod barrels in the spaceship have been added.

Seeing the discussion in the mirror getting more and more intense, Yue Yuanzhou nodded in satisfaction, and then a mahjong machine appeared here with a big wave of his hand.

"Old Shang, I don't know how long the discussion over the heptapod is going to last, so I'm free to come over to play mahjong." Yue Yuanzhou sat down on his seat as he spoke, and then looked at the confused Gary Donnelly and the others. He laughed and said, "Whoever of you come, four are missing and two are missing."

"This"

Several people looked at each other.

In the end, it was the photographer who spoke first: "God, I won't participate, I want to record this historical moment."

As he said that, he drove the camera to a distance, and then adjusted the angle to try to get all the scenes discussed with the mahjong table and the heptapod barrel into the shot.

The aliens are discussing the simple mathematics of human beings over there, and the human beings feel bored playing mahjong on this side after too long. He can't miss this kind of scene.

"Which of you three is coming?" Shang Shaojian also took his seat, and then he smiled kindly at the three beauties.

Shang Shaojian didn't think of refusing, because he felt that he knew where Yue Yuanzhou came from, so he cherished this kind of time very much. It was really very happy for him, and he knew that such days would not be many.

Maybe there won't be any of these heptapods when they're gone.

"I'm not very good at it," Colonel Weber replied.

"That's right, you're one of them." Shang Shaojian pointed to the seat on his left, it's better if you don't know it, if you are a master, I won't call you yet.

"Let me do it!"

On this side, Dr. Banks took the last seat without any urging, and then she looked at Donnelly and nodded to indicate that she would fight.

"Chuan Ma!"

Seeing everyone sitting down, Yue Yuanzhou said very clearly and irrefutably: "You have 10 minutes to familiarize yourself with the rules of Chuanma, and then we will start."

"Of course you have to win the mahjong game. I plan to use 1000 years of life as a bargaining chip." Yue Yuanzhou spoke with his own translator, so both Weber and Donnelly could understand him. The lifespan of the three of you, but whoever wins the most among the three of you will be rewarded with this genetic modification potion. The time is until the result is given in the heptapod barrel."

"How could there be such a thing on Earth?" Colonel Weber leaned forward, looking at the red potion in Yue Yuanzhou's hand, his face full of hesitation.

Dr. Banks gasped heavily: "Oh God, I bet you must be joking!"

"Oh God, I feel like I don't know the world anymore!"

Donnelly stood behind Louise Banks, staring at Yue Yuanzhou intently. He had all sorts of out-of-the-box methods in front of him, and now he felt that it was possible for this man to get something beyond imagination.

"The world is still the world you know, but your understanding is not comprehensive enough." Yue Yuanzhou looked at the physicist first, then raised his hand and shook the potion, and continued: "This is a life gene enhancer. Medicines made by advanced civilizations using life science and technology will prolong the activity of human cells for 1000 years after injection, so take good care of them.”

On the one hand, this lottery is because Yue Yuanzhou is purely on a whim, and on the other hand, he didn't want to have no old acquaintances when he wanted to come to this world to see it.

After all, there are already many such cases in other worlds.
