Another world conquest manual

"Hahaha, you guessed it right!"

Ma Ning looked at Lin Li with emotion and gave a thumbs up:

"Old Lin, Old Lin, you are indeed a scientific researcher, your thinking is clear, yes, we have a second video!"

As he spoke, he pressed another button, and another picture popped up on the screen: "Look!"

Lin Li pursed his lips tightly, stopped talking, and stared at the screen.

He had a hunch that the second video might bring some information that was beyond his expectation.

The second video is also not long, about ten seconds.

The content is even simpler than the first video.

There is no protagonist, no focus.

The picture is even a little bumpy, it is an image of Julien and other refugees carrying supplies as they pass through a courtyard in the mansion.

It looks ordinary and meaningless.

Lin Li looked up at Ma Ning, and a question mark appeared on his head: "?"

Ma Ning did not explain, but pressed the play button again.

After the progress bar advanced for three or four seconds, he suddenly clicked pause, captured and enlarged the screen:

"Old Lin, take another look."

The area that has been paused and enlarged is on the left side where the refugees are passing. The main content is a closed hut in a courtyard.

This small house has a wooden structure with sparse eaves. It is quietly located in the courtyard. There are also wooden bars with engraved words hanging on both sides of the door.

Combined with the surrounding moss, it looks full of age.

The hut is about seven or eight meters away from where Julien was shooting. When the high-precision camera captures the picture at this distance, there is almost no distortion when enlarged, and the contents on the wooden strips can be clearly seen.

Lin Li came forward to take a look and said naturally:

"Every year the weather is good and the people are prosperous?

Isn’t it spring? ? ! ! "

Before he finished speaking, his whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he stood stiffly on the spot.

After a full ten seconds, he came back to his senses and stared at Ma Ning:

"Spring Festival couplets?"

Then he looked at Dai Chaohong and said word by word:

"Hua, Xia, Han, characters?!"

Dai Chaohong raised his head halfway, closed his eyes, and exhaled a long breath from his nose.

There was a hint of excitement and trembling in his tone:

"Yes, these are Spring Festival couplets written in Chinese characters."

Lin Li opened his mouth weakly, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

After a long time, he asked intermittently:

"But, wasn't it confirmed before that alien languages ​​and Chinese language are not the same system?"

Dai Chaohong pointed to a computer next to the screen and said:

"Yes, Professor Ma is an expert in language. He used computers to analyze the language scripts he had collected previously.

It can be determined that the characters and languages ​​of other worlds have no intersection with Chinese culture, and there is no possibility that Chinese characters are some kind of antecedent culture. "

Ma Ning nodded slowly and confirmed that Dai Chaohong was right.

Lin Li pointed at the couplet on the screen: "Then what's going on?"

Dai Chaohong gently took off his glasses, rubbed his eye point, and said in a helpless and incomprehensible tone:

“We don’t know either, this completely goes against the cultural barriers of a civilization.

At least with the current inherent mindset, we cannot find a completely reasonable explanation. "

At this time, Wang Qiang, who was making a background board at the side, suddenly raised her hand:

"Teacher Dai, you said there is no completely reasonable explanation, so is there a reasonable but unreasonable explanation?"

"Huh?"

Dai Chaohong glanced at the girl in surprise and said in amazement: "As expected of a student from Team Lin, her reaction is really sensitive. Yes, we have a somewhat bizarre guess."

"I just said it casually, did you guess it right?"

Wang Qiang's eyes widened, and then she asked: "Teacher Dai, please tell me, is there a reasonable but unreasonable explanation, or is there an unreasonable but reasonable explanation? Or maybe it's not consistent."

"Stop, stop, stop! If you keep talking, readers will start talking about hydrology!"

Dai Chaohong quickly interrupted the joke and stopped trying to be pretentious. He turned to Lin Li and said:

"Team Lin, we do have a guess that we don't have much confidence in.

That is.

Could the person who carved this couplet also be a traveler from China? "

Lin Li was surprised: "Chinese traveler?"

To become a top scientific research authority, there is no need to question Lin Li's IQ.

I had never turned a corner before, purely because I was too surprised to see Chinese characters.

Now that Dai Chaohong had awakened him, a guess quickly emerged in his mind:

"You mean that light door?

Was there someone before us who came into this world through the Light Gate? "

Dai Chaohong shook his head uncertainly:

“It’s really hard to say, I can only say that it is a possibility.

After all, the Spring Festival couplets look very old. Even if the traveler came to another world through the Light Gate, it should have been a long time before us.

Unfortunately, the location of the wooden house was too remote, and Platoon Leader Yu did not have the opportunity to take some sawdust samples and bring them back for dating analysis. "

Lin Li crossed his arms, thought about it, and quickly thought of another key point.

He turned to Ma Ning and asked:

"Professor Ma, you are an expert in literature and history. Do you know which dynasty this Spring Festival couplet first came from?"

As expected, Ma Ning lived up to his reputation as the honorary consultant of the Jinling Museum and answered immediately without much hesitation:

"The weather is good every year, and things are prosperous and the people are prosperous every year. The key to this Spring Festival couplet lies in the second half of the couplet, which means things are prosperous and the people are prosperous.

The earliest source of the word "Wufu and the people are prosperous" is the sentence "If the mountains and rivers are beautiful, Wufu and the people are prosperous" in "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty·Liu Tao Biography".

"Book of the Later Han" is one of the first four histories, compiled by Fan Ye, a historian from the Song Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty of China - note that it is the Southern Song Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, not the Southern Song Dynasty.

This book was written between 432 and 445 AD, which was around the late Roman Empire in Europe. "

Lin Li stroked his beard thoughtfully:

"In other words, if the Chinese traveler first came to another world, wouldn't it be later than the Southern Song Dynasty?"

Unexpectedly, Ma Ning shook his head:

"Old Lin, you are not a literature and history major, so your sensitivity to words may not be that high.

That couplet was written in simplified Chinese characters. "

Lin Li's pupils shrank heavily, he leaned in front of the screen again, and read the couplet carefully: "Is this really simplified Chinese characters?"

Ma Ning exhaled with a complex expression:

"Yes, simplified Chinese characters. The full implementation of simplified Chinese characters in China began in 1956, which means that the suspected time traveler probably came from after 1956."

"etc."

Lin Li suddenly interrupted him:

"Professor Ma, I remember that before the founding of New China, simplified Chinese characters already existed among the people, right?

For example, during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China? I remember that some newspapers and periodicals use simplified Chinese characters, right? "

Ma Ning did not answer the question immediately. He reached out and tapped a word on the Spring Festival couplets:

【Tune】.

Lin Li: "?"

Ma Ning picked up a piece of paper and wrote "讠" on it, then drew a circle around "蠠" with the tip of the pen and explained:

"Captain Lin, have you noticed the word next to the left side of the word "diao"?

The word "讠" first came from "Cao Jue Bai Yun Ge". The original text is "A little square is water, but an empty pick is words." ’

Historically, it was generally used in cursive writing next to words, rather than as a radical.

Historically, [讠] was truly used as a regular regular script radical and was successfully promoted. It was after the Chinese character simplification plan was announced in June 1956. "

Hear this.

For a moment, Lin Li felt a little hot in his heart.

I only felt a strange numbness rising from my tailbone and going straight up to my scalp.

Everything Ma Ning said impacted his somewhat elderly heart.

After a long time, he spoke with a slightly hoarse voice:

"In other words, the suspected traveler from China is most likely from after the founding of the People's Republic of China?"

Ma Ning nodded and made the final decision:

"If such a person really exists, then he or she must have come from after 1956."

Lin Li pulled back his sparse hair, and it was obvious that he was quite troubled in his heart.

If such a person really exists, when exactly did he come to the other world?

the 60's? 1970s? Or is it the 90s?

That couplet is obviously a few years old. Is this person still alive?

Thinking more deeply, how did this ‘traveler’ come to a different world?

Light gate, or something else?

This is a huge variable, and no one knows whether it is good or bad.

While Lin Li was deep in thought, a figure hurriedly walked in from outside the tent.

It was Lin Ziming who went to Shanghai to report his opinions.

At this time, Lin Ziming's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, his breathing was a little rapid, and he looked like he was dusty:

"Captain Lin, our opinion has been approved by the base camp. You can inform Captain Yan that they are starting to assemble!"

Do you know how difficult it is to find a couplet that fits the plot? This chapter took me almost twice as long.

The war is about to break out, and all the foreshadowing is for the recent chapters.
