From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 500 How are you going to get on the fire? !
"Five, you will become the pride of the people of our country, so please feel free to go, we will wait for your heroes to return on Earth!"

At the entrance of Saturn [-], the president who had just delivered a speech came here and gave their five astronauts a final encouragement.

And the five astronauts also stood at attention and saluted, and said in unison: "I promise to complete the mission."

The president nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand and said, "Very well, then, go children, may God bless you."

"Yes!"

The five astronauts nodded one after another, then held the space helmets in their hands, stepped into the rocket, and then came to their respective positions and sat down.

"Armstrong, how are you feeling?"

After each of them fastened their seat belts, they began to chat.

And one of them asked the big celebrity among the five of them, Jayden Armstrong.

For Jayden Armstrong, he never thought that he would make such a big name with his surname.

Although he has been paid attention to by people around him because of his surname before, after all, the name of No.1 Armstrong, who landed on the moon, is still a household name, but no matter what, it is obviously far inferior to the simple attention he once had. His current situation is being watched by the whole world.

Today, he can have millions of views just by posting a short video on the Internet. It can be said that he is a veritable celebrity. As long as he returns from Mars, he can rely on this fame. Live the life of a capitalist, and when the time comes, add the fame of being the No. 1 on Denghuo, that will be both fame and fortune.

He was even designated as the first person to step out of the landing module and the first person to leave his footsteps on Mars, as the inheritor of their past as the largest aerospace power.

So it can be said that Jayden Armstrong is not in the limelight today.

When he heard his teammates' questions, he snorted softly and said, "That's it, anyway, I'm ready to spend a year and a half on that damned Mars as soon as possible."

"Fortunately, NASA also agreed to help update my video on Mars on my TOKTIK at that time, otherwise, it is really unimaginable how many fans I will lose in a year and a half."

Hearing Armstrong's words, the other four astronauts laughed, and looked at Armstrong with envy. Why aren't they called Armstrong?

Even if it's called Gagarin, it's okay... Although Gagarin is from the former Soviet Union, he is still No. 1 in space.

And at this time, the voice of the command center came from their communication channel: "Okay, you five, don't talk about these topics anymore, we will record your calls in the future, as a way for us to The content of the TV broadcast program is broadcast, so you talk more about words that are conducive to arousing people's emotions."

"I know, I know." Armstrong said, "Just promise to help me update TOKTIK's video."

"You can rest assured about this."

The person in the command center responded, and then said: "Okay, the launch is about to start in 2 minutes, you should take advantage of this time to say goodbye to the earth first."

The five people in the rocket looked at each other, and then began to chat awkwardly.

"Hey Trendo, did you say goodbye to your daughter?"

"Of course, my daughter was very happy to hear that I was going to be an astronaut, so she spent the money she saved to buy me jelly that day."

"Oh, that's really enviable."

"Danas, what do you think Mars looks like?"

"I don't care what it looks like, it just needs to wait to be conquered by me."

"..."

And so, as time passed, finally, it was time to launch.

"Countdown to launch, ten! Nine! Eight!..."

"Three! Two! One!"

"emission!"

With the end of the ten-second countdown, everyone's eyes were fixed on the rocket's tail.

And soon, at the tail of that huge rocket, in the nine huge nozzle holes, violent flames were ejected instantly, and at the same time, majestic smoke was brought up. These smoke instantly filled the entire rocket body, and Then, a rocket head popped out from the top of the smoke, and then, the huge Saturn [-] flew away from the rising smoke as if carrying an incomparable momentum, and then went straight towards the sky.

And the people in the audience just watched the rocket soaring into the sky. As time passed by, the body of the rocket did not tilt, and there was no shaking. Just like this, it rose higher and higher, and gradually only a few small piece.

Then, all the onlookers erupted in appalling cheers in an instant.

Every American present here seems to feel that they are coming to a glorious age again.

At the same time, the major media in the United States also announced the news that made them all feel excited at this moment.

There are also some media that specially posted a picture comparing Saturn [-] and Tianren. In this picture, Saturn [-] is a huge monster, but Tianren is ten times inferior. They use this method to slander Tianren No.

It can be said that they almost put their hopes of this technology marathon on their Mars plan.

For the time being, Huaguo has also attracted a certain amount of attention because of the launch of the Mars Project. Although the Tianren is very large, after all, their Saturn [-] is even bigger, even though it only takes more than two minutes. The largest first-stage rocket will be separated, and by then it will not be as big as the Tianchao. However, obviously not all netizens are aware of this.

Therefore, there are still many people touting the Saturn Nine.

However, today's Huaguo netizens are not those of ten years ago.

In addition to the cultural confidence that Huaguo netizens have always had, today's Huaguo netizens also have strong technological confidence. Naturally, they started arguing with those who touted the Saturn [-] on the Internet, and finally proved with various evidences that the Tianren, It's more technical.

As for these debates, although Lin Xiao, who is in the Dingguang Aerospace Research Institute, has never seen them, he can guess them.

"The Americans are quite capable. Such a heavy guy was successfully sent up."

After learning that Saturn [-] had successfully entered orbit, Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

In any case, it is not easy for others to achieve this level.

Just let them be happy for a while.

Of course, only two months.

According to the time, their Tianchariot will start its voyage to Mars in two months, which is June [-]st.

Estimated arrival time is the end of July.

And the expected arrival time of the Mars project... is the end of September.

If it wasn't for the purpose of returning the Tianchao to Earth as soon as possible, so as not to miss the best return time, otherwise, he even wanted to let the Tianchao stay there until September, and wait for the Americans' rockets to arrive, and then talk to them first. Say hello and leave.

Suddenly, at this time, Xiaomi's voice suddenly came: "Master! Come and see! I seem to have successfully deciphered a few more words!"

Lin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then quickly turned around and walked to the computer, "What? Are you sure?"

The deciphering that Xiao Mi mentioned was deciphering the Mayan characters that contained the mysterious characters.

Although it is not clear whether these mysterious texts can be understood by deciphering these Mayan texts, no matter what, it is obvious that they only have this method!
"What did you decipher again?"

"These words in the middle are connected with other content that has been deciphered before, which means [a number that can only be understood by itself], the most critical information in the middle is still not deciphered." Xiaomi replied .

Lin Xiao frowned.

"A number that can only be controlled by itself?"

What would this be?
It always feels inexplicable. Of course, this kind of translation is still translated in modern language. If it is translated literally, it will be even more strange.

"Could it be a number that can only be divisible by itself? Isn't that 1?"

"However, there is no requirement that it must be a natural number, nor does it say that it is an integer."

"But if you deduce it according to its meaning, it is very likely that it is a prime number..."

Lin Xiao couldn't help but stare blankly for a while.

According to historical records, the mathematics of the Mayans was very advanced, so it is possible that they started the study of prime numbers very early, but it is a pity that that period of history was buried by the colonial rulers.

After all, Euclid also started the study of prime numbers very early.

However, the question now is whether the text that needs to be deciphered really represents a prime number.

After all, prime numbers are divisible by 1 and itself, and in the Mayan text, "1" has long been deciphered, and this text does not include the Mayan number representing "1".

Thinking of this, he couldn't help shaking his head, God knows what those Mayans thought back then.

Then he asked again: "How did you decipher this?"

As soon as he asked the question, a picture popped up on the monitor in front of him.

Xiaomi: "Master, look, these pictures uploaded on the Internet, the contents of these pictures come from Mayan classics that may be inherited."

Lin Xiao frowned, and then saw a book appearing on the picture.

Then Xiao Mi said: "The contents of this book are all copied down. According to my identification, there are a lot of contents in it, which should belong to Mayan characters, so it is certain that this is a book inherited by luck. records of the Mayan civilization."

Hearing Xiaomi's introduction, Lin Xiao couldn't help being surprised, "Could it be an unknown manuscript?"

The Mayans were invaded by Spanish colonists in the [-]th century. After ruling the area where the Mayans were located, the Spanish colonists burned all the books of the Mayans that recorded their culture.

The Spanish colonists did this because they saw that the Mayans had their own cultural system, so they wanted to use this method to completely destroy this civilization. After all, the New World was discovered at the end of the fifteenth century. As far as those who are concerned, it is natural to use all methods to interrupt the development of civilization on the New World.

However, this kind of "book burning" event will eventually slip through the net, so in the excavation of later generations, four surviving manuscripts recording the Mayan civilization were finally discovered.

So far, these manuscripts are treasured in the countries of the colonizers, and they are precious historical and cultural relics.

But obviously, the book above the picture is not any of these four books.

At this time Xiaomi suddenly said: "I found it. The person who took this picture is a descendant of the Mayans! This year he is over 70 years old, and this is passed down from his family."

"And in order to prevent this manuscript from rotting away completely, he photographed every page of this manuscript and saved it in his personal space."

"However, these photos have been encrypted by him and have not been made public, probably because he doesn't want to make them public. He is afraid that they will be snatched away after they are made public. In addition, he is also very hostile to those colonial countries in Europe. .”

Lin Xiao frowned suddenly, but he didn't expect such a harvest.

The Mayan civilization is extinct, but the Mayans are not completely extinct, because for the original Spanish colonists, they wanted to achieve a better rule over the Mayans by cutting off the Mayan culture, so naturally there are Mayans Human descendants survive to this day.

Of course, this kind of hatred belonging to the extinction of civilization must not be forgotten by these Mayan descendants.

Therefore, it is natural that some descendants of the Mayans kept their inherited things secret and did not reveal them at all.

Lin Xiao couldn't help guessing immediately: "According to this, there are nearly 200 million Mayan descendants in the world now, and maybe there are just a few of them who are just like this person and have passed down some secrets. Are the Mayan artifacts preserved?"

"Well, it's very possible." Xiaomi replied, "I'll search the Internet again."

Although its computing power is astonishing, it can easily scan the huge human database, but unfortunately, the premise is that Qiankun No. [-] can be completely controlled by it.

Now it can only mobilize one percent of the computing power.

And what is involved now is the work that needs to identify pictures, so it still takes a certain amount of time.

Of course, at least the current search scope has been limited to the more than 200 million remaining Mayan descendants today, so for it, it can be regarded as saving the time it would have needed to search the whole world.

However, regarding this matter, Lin Xiao couldn't help.

After all, he is not artificial intelligence.

"However, the picture of this new manuscript can be handed over to Professor Ji Yang. Maybe it will be of great help to his deciphering work?"

Lin Xiao thought about it, and then made a decision.

After saving these pictures in the USB flash drive, he took these things to the headquarters of Yueshi Division, and then found the office where Professor Ji Yang was.

After entering this office, he was taken aback.

This office wasn't very big, but now it's filled with all kinds of books, and it's almost impossible to get a foothold.

As for these books, they are all books in foreign languages, and some of them look very old.

Lin Xiao picked up a copy from the floor, good guy, it was published in 1956 by the Spanish publishing house.

"Huh? Chief Lin, why are you free to visit me, an old guy?"

At this time, an old man's head appeared in a pile of books. It was Ji Yang. At this time, he was sitting on a ponytail, wearing reading glasses, and he was probably studying a book in front of him.

Lin Xiao waved his hands and said helplessly, "Professor Ji, is this how you usually study?"

"Haha, I'm used to it, it was like this when I was young."

Ji Yang smiled, then stood up and said to Lin Xiao, "Come in."

Lin Xiao worked hard to find a few places to stay, and finally came to the side of the desk.

"Tell me, Chief Lin probably came to chat with me, right?"

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Professor Ji, don't get excited about what I'm going to show you next."

Ji Yang laughed, took off his reading glasses, took a piece of glasses cloth from the side and wiped them slowly, and said at the same time: "I am an old man, there are not so many things that can excite me."

"That's good."

Lin Xiao nodded, then took out the USB flash drive and opened the content on the computer in Ji Yang's office, first of all was the first photo.

"Professor Ji, look at this thing."

Ji Yang nodded, and looked at the picture on the screen with a little curiosity. He really wanted to know what it was that made Lin Xiao feel excited.

He didn't believe that there was anything in this world that could excite an old man in his 80s.

However, when he glanced over it for the first time, he froze, and then cast his eyes tightly on it.

Then he hurriedly took his reading glasses from the side and put them on again, then he widened his eyes in disbelief and said, "It's not Codex Paris, Codex Madrid, Codex Gloriana and Codex Gloriana." The Driston Codex...is this...is this a new Mayan Codex?!"

"My God, is this a miracle discovered?"

His eyes widened in disbelief.

Then he snatched the mouse from Lin Xiao's hand and looked back, and every picture in it was the same as the first picture, recording Mayan characters.

For this master of linguistics, especially the master of various ancient text studies, this kind of thing is his rare treasure.

"And...the records on it turned out to be... some scientific achievements of the Mayans, this is really..."

Suddenly, Professor Ji Yang turned to look at Lin Xiao, then grabbed Lin Xiao's arm, and said, "Chief Lin! Where did you find this thing?"

Lin Xiao shook off the old man's hand, and then said: "This is when I was studying in France, I met a descendant of the Mayans, and I asked him some time ago why he came from his grandfather's house. Turned out."

Ji Yang was taken aback, "The descendants of the Mayans?"

"Well." Lin Xiao nodded slightly, and then said: "So, I have reason to believe that among the descendants of the Mayans that still exist in the world, it is very likely that one of them may have some inheritance from the ancient Mayans. The ancient relics that came down."

"This……"

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Ji Yang forgot to ask about the Mayan descendant Lin Xiao met.

Then Ji Yang nodded and said: "Indeed, what you said is not impossible. Even if the Spaniards in the sixteenth century searched, it would be completely unreasonable to destroy everything."

"When I was doing archaeology abroad, I also met and communicated with some descendants of the Maya. My in-depth research on Mayan writing is really thanks to the descendants of the Maya, and I did find some of them. I found some ancient Mayan cultural relics, but I have never seen this kind of ancient books with written words before."

"If you say that..."

Thinking of this, Ji Yang's eyes lit up.

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Well, I think we should try to send someone to contact those Mayan descendants, maybe there will be unexpected gains."

"That's right! Just right, I also know some friends of Mayan descendants, maybe I can get their help."

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Then I will trouble you."

"I still want to thank Chief Lin." Ji Yang waved his hand, and then suddenly asked: "By the way, Chief Lin, the Mayan descendant you know..."

"Don't bother that one. He said he would give this thing to me, and he also hoped that I could help them spread the glorious history of the Mayans in the future, but their family didn't want others to know that it was inherited by their family. a book."

Lin Xiao made up the reasons he had already prepared.

Hearing what Lin Xiao said, Ji Yang had no doubts, and then nodded solemnly.

"I see."

……

In this way, the next Yueshi Division began to mobilize resources to try to contact those Mayan descendants.

But after all, they are in their country, so their actions should not be too obvious, and it is impossible to send too many people, so the progress is very slow at the beginning.

Of course, after all, there are still millions of Mayan descendants, so they are not in a hurry, so they proceed slowly.

As for Professor Ji Yang, he also started to translate the novice manuscript. The progress of this process is also relatively slow, but it is still going on normally.

In this way, time passed quickly.

Until the beginning of May.

……

The launch rocket in the Mars program has been flying in space for more than a month.

On the moon base, the six team members are still living a vacation-like life on the moon.

However, at this time, a piece of news from Huaguo Space Agency broke this short-term tranquility.

[Our country will implement the manned fire plan on June [-]st! 】

As soon as the news came out, other countries were dumbfounded.

Now that the window period has passed, how do you get on the fire? !
