Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Except for a very small number of people who can leave some marks on an ancient human skin book with blood, most people should have their own ideas, so deciphering what behind these dots and lines represents the most important thing.

Of course, Liang En also considered whether there was any mystery hidden in those sketches, but after careful inspection, he confirmed that these things were indeed just the most ordinary sketches.

As for finding the location where the sketch was drawn through this sketch, it is basically impossible, because the content drawn by the other party is a common sketch in the 17th century, and there is nothing distinctive about it at all.

Although there are two pictures of ships in the middle that can narrow the approximate range to the British coast, the British coast is so large that it is basically impossible to find the location on the painting.

What's more important is that the painting and the symbols drawn with blood are completely different, so even if the artist of the pattern in this book is found, it will not be of much help to the current situation.

After all, the painter on the pattern and the person who left the message in blood are two people separated by hundreds of years, so it is obviously impossible to trace the circulation history of this book during this period.

So after ruling out other possibilities, Liang En simply flipped through the book filled with strange patterns page by page, and then copied out all the contents written in blood on the side.

"What on earth is this?" After all the things were extracted, Liang En felt a little distressed because there was no pattern at all in these things.

It's not that these things are complicated, but that they are too simple. All patterns are only dots and line segments, and there is no third pattern at all.

"I always feel that these things look familiar." Joan looked at the contents of two whole sheets of paper with a thoughtful expression, "I must have seen similar things somewhere in the past few weeks."

"You said you had seen - wait, I seem to have an impression." Liang En suddenly reacted. He remembered that Joan was watching a documentary about military communications recently.

As a former soldier, Joan of Arc has maintained a great interest in various new technologies that can be applied to the military to this day, so she has watched many documentaries in this area.

When thinking of that documentary, Liang En immediately thought of a very important thing in early electronic communications: Morse code. Now these points and line segments can correspond to the long and short signals of the old telegraph.

Morse code, also known as Morse code, is a signal code that is on and off, expressing different English letters, numbers and punctuation marks through different arrangements.

Invented in 1837, it was an early form of digital communication. Unlike modern digital communications, Morse code only uses binary codes for two states: zeros and ones.

This signal code was invented by the American Morse in 1837 and played a great role in early telegraph communications. It is also a must-know for every radio communicator.

Due to the continuous advancement of communication technology, various countries chose to stop the use of Morse code as an international standard in maritime communications in 1999. This was also the last official standard to stop using Morse code.

When the French Navy stopped using Morse code in 1997, the last message it sent was: "Attention everyone, this is our last cry before eternal silence!"

However, because it occupies the least bandwidth and has technical and artistic characteristics, it still has its own application space in real life.

After knowing that this was Morse code, Liang En and the others immediately found a comparison table on the Internet and started translating it. Thanks to those folk enthusiasts, the tables on the Internet were very complete, and the content could be translated quickly as long as they were compared.

As more and more things were translated, Liang En gradually pieced together what these things were. Different than expected. These things are basically Christian-related content, such as hymns and prayers.

"No wonder this book is called Heaven's Gate." After translating most of the content, Joan of Arc said to Liang En. "This book feels more like it was written by a devout believer for the purpose of praying."

Through the inspection just now, they also found that this thing was probably just an ordinary book at first, but the later owner of the book gave the book a special title.

At the beginning, Liang En and the others were still thinking about these ordinary things. How can landscapes and character sketches be called the door to heaven, but after looking at these translated prayers, they felt that they roughly understood why the other party named it that way.

"But I don't think this is a pastor's own prayer book." Liang En replied, "Because for them, they can just take a notebook and record these things."

"That's true." After hearing what Liang En said, Jeanne nodded in agreement. After all, these contents are not taboo, and they can be done openly and openly, instead of being sneaky like now.

Therefore, after a brief discussion, everyone finally concluded that there should be some secret hidden in this thing, but everyone also believed that that thing should be hidden in these contents pieced together with Morse code.

Because it takes a lot of time to translate this thing, Liang En and the others simply stayed here that night, and Adler also prepared a guest room for them.

Although they could take these things back and translate them, after a brief analysis, they decided that it would be more appropriate to finish them here before leaving. After all, it is best to start and finish things.

When they finally finished all the translations at about 10 o'clock the next morning, just as they had guessed, the really valuable things were hidden at the end of the entire translation.

At the end of this paragraph is a self-introduction. This person stated that he was Norton I, Emperor of the United States of America and Regent of Mexico. This book was a gift he left to future generations.

At the same time, the other party also said that this book was given to him by a generous and wealthy gentleman, and in his opinion, this is probably his most valuable inheritance.

"Emperor of the United States - Where did the emperor of the United States come from?" After reading the last translated line, Fan Meng showed a puzzled expression.

Although he has not read many books in this area, he also knows that the United States has been a United States since its founding, and there is no way for an emperor to exist.

Next to her, Joan of Arc also nodded in agreement. After she came to this world, she read a lot of basic books in order to live a smooth life, including content related to modern countries.

Because she was interested in a country like the United States, which had no feudal rulers such as emperors or kings since its founding, she specifically read about the United States. And the position of Emperor of the United States absolutely does not exist in his memory.

"No, there was actually an emperor in the history of the United States." After the two companions finished speaking, Liang En said with a smile, "This emperor was the Norton I written at the end of this book."
