I kidnapped an alien civilization

The greatest pain in the world is that there is an unbreakable stone door between a person and a tempting treasure, especially when he already knows that the treasure inside is likely to change the progress of human civilization.

Li Mo is now deeply in this pain. He spent a full 20 minutes looking for a possible mechanism to open the door, but the stone door in front of him remained motionless.

Is it necessary to invite a master lockpicker from the earth 55 million kilometers away?

He scratched his head.

The performance of the Navigator is sufficient to complete this "mission", but the key is whether the hole will still exist when it returns to Mars next time.

The geology of Mars is not stable, especially the fault zone where this cavity is located. Perhaps in the next moment, it will sink deep into the earth's core.

Moreover, through the research just now, he has determined that the few lines of strange symbols engraved on the stone gate are the key to opening the stone gate.

According to the laws of behavior of intelligent civilization, these strange symbols should be the language of Martian Erlang God, but how to decipher the meaning?

Do we need to invite some linguists from the earth?

Li Mo shook his head, the distance of 55 million kilometers has become an insurmountable gap.

Language Skills Book!

He thought of the elementary language skills book that was rewarded by the system in his backpack.

"Pajero!"

A gray mist filled the air, and he took out a book-sized booklet from the "backpack".

With a light click, the description of the skill book emerged from the fog: the elementary language skill book, which allows users to instantly learn the language of civilizations below level 3.

"Do you want to use it immediately?"

Li Mo gently clicked "Yes"!

"Please select the target language!"

A green cursor appeared above the language book.

This is?

Li Mo tried to point the cursor to the strange symbol carved on the stone gate.

"When the Martian language is detected, do you want to learn it immediately?"

Just click "Yes"!

A feeling of dizziness struck, and Li Mo's body swayed from side to side a few times following this feeling.

Is this instilling language knowledge?

for a long time

The feeling of dizziness gradually disappeared, Li Mo opened his eyes, and found the strange symbol on the stone gate, which can be clearly understood!

"Tombstone on Mars -- who erected the monument: Mars Civilization Recorder Piolio, how to open it: tap lightly in order, each of the four characters of the Tombstone on Mars 5 times!"

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk."

He followed the instructions and completed the knocking.

"Wow."

The stone door is fully opened.

It's that simple?

Maybe just a few more attempts can open this stone door!

Li Mo regretted wasting a skill book now, and learned only an extinct civilized language.

However, the attraction of the history of Martian civilization made this feeling disappear in an instant.

Turn on the tactical searchlight and step into the stone chamber

A statue of Martian Erlang facing the stone gate stands in the center of the hall, and the surrounding walls are covered with books reflecting the metallic luster.

Li Mo walked in front of the statue and found that Martian Erlang was slightly taller than ordinary people on earth, about 3 meters tall. They also had limbs like humans and could stand upright. It’s just that compared with humans, their lower limbs are longer and their upper limbs are slightly shorter. Their fingers and toes are not separated, but are connected by thin film tissue like the webs of platypus on earth.

Of course, the biggest difference between them and humans is that they have three eyes on the face.

A line of words is engraved on the base of the statue: "As the last Martian, Piolio chose to return to the embrace of the ancestors!"

This statue seems to have been specially carved by Martian Erlang before his death. Could it be that this stone chamber is his tomb?

You accidentally stumbled into an alien grave?

People on earth pay attention to the dead, and must maintain enough awe for the resting place of the dead.

Li Mo looked around and found no bones, so he was slightly relieved.

Also, the stone gate at the entrance is engraved with the "Tombstone of Martian Civilization", and the object of natural burial can only be the entire history of civilization.

He walked to the wall and picked up the first book.

This kind of book feels heavy in the hand, and seems to be made of a special metal alloy.

The alloy pages are engraved with Martian characters, and then bound together with rivets made of a special material.

The metal books on the wall recorded everything that happened on Mars in detail. Just as he speculated from the petroglyphs, the first life evolved on Mars was plants. The suitable climate and precipitation allowed them to quickly occupy the entire surface of Mars. At this time, the star of the solar system, the sun, suddenly erupted, the temperature on the surface of Mars soared, the rivers and lakes dried up, and the lack of water caused the plants to become extinct.

There are only a few underground oceans left on Mars.

In this underground water source, the second evolutionary path was opened silently, and animals appeared. They first lived by devouring the single-celled algae in the underground ocean.

At this time, the sun that had passed the eruption period returned to calm, the temperature on Mars gradually dropped, and the climate returned to normal.

When the first drop of rain in hundreds of millions of years fell on the surface of Mars, reptiles appeared. Plants and animals evolved rapidly on the fourth planet in the solar system, and finally the animals with overwhelming advantages evolved into Mars. Intelligent creature: Erlang God of Mars.

The hundreds of metal books that followed recorded how the Erlang God of Mars evolved from a primitive animal that sprouted wisdom to an intelligent creature that almost touched the threshold of a first-level civilization. In the record, it is full of hardships of evolution and longing for a vast universe.

Of course, Li Mo just flipped through the pages. He is not very interesting about the history of the civilization development of the Martian Erlang God.

Perhaps the entire universe, and only that library civilization would be interested in such tedious history.

Finally, he found a strange metal book at the end of the bookshelf. The cover of this book was actually engraved with the words "Recorder of Mars Civilization", which seemed to be an autobiographical book.

Opening the title page, Li Mo knew that his guess was correct. This book recorded the names of Martian civilization recorders and the price they paid for recording Martian civilization.

According to the records in the book, the Martian Civilization Recorder is a special profession in the Martian civilization. The Martian recorder has existed since the original Martian Erlang Shenren Knotted Notes. From father to son, their only job is to record everything that happened on Mars. From the primitive era, when the Eight Horse Tribe hunted to twelve bear-cracking beasts, to the Space Age, when the 158th spaceship failed to launch, they have recorded them in detail on the metal pages.

The second half of "Recorder of Mars Civilization" was engraved by the last generation of recorder-Piolio, who recorded the entire process of the demise of Martian civilization in the book, and described why these contents were not engraved in the official history among the reasons.
