91 The Truth at the Tip of the Iceberg (3)

"Then what do we see now?" CG technology, VR technology, imaginary pictures, composite shots?

    "No, this is the real scene in history," said Natasha, who had been quiet for a long time. "The shooting time was eight hundred years ago."

    There were cameras 800 years ago? And to see the camera angle or aerial photography combined with internal real-time shooting, alternately switching playback. Then I thought, since two thousand-no, it is four thousand-there was a QR code in the past, and it was not too out of the ordinary to have a camera and a helicopter eight hundred years ago.

    The exterior scene gradually spiraled and raised, and at the foot of the idol at the top of the lighthouse, I saw the QR code engraved on the golden base. The picture flows quickly, and you can see that the number of QR codes is also increasing.

    "Although the lighthouse was destroyed, but luckily we found all of these QR codes," the old man couldn't help but proud. "Bought it from a group of smugglers and fraudsters who were in urgent need of travel expenses, along with a lot of other cultural relics. It only cost 20,000 US dollars. The funny thing is that they recognized the QR code on it and thought it was an imitation and prank for posterity. These precious gold leaf was given to us as a bonus."

    The Russian girl made a face: "The video we are seeing now is obtained after scanning the code. Those smugglers are really stupid."

    Liu Yi was speechless. In this matter, you look more like liars.

    When they came down, they saw more than ten scenes including the Mausoleum of the First Emperor Qin, the Underground Mausoleum of Alexander, the Giant Sun Statue of Rhode Island, the Temple of Artemis, and so on. In these monuments, without exception, prehistoric QR codes appeared.

    The last thing that appeared was a wide stone road, lined with pyramids and temples made of dark brown and ocher boulders on both sides, surrounded by dense tropical jungles, in an American style. This place is very familiar to you. The pyramid is well-arranged, and there are steps around to the top. The architectural style is similar to that of the trolls in the game.

    "That's Huangquan Avenue, right?" Lu Fei said, finding that everyone was looking at her, blushing to explain, "My brother likes to see all kinds of strange things, and I remember it when I was around him."

    "Your memory is not bad," Natasha said in surprise. "Ordinary girls rarely remember this stuff. That's right, this is Huangquan Avenue, the main part of the ancient city of Teotihuacan. Forty kilometers northeast of Mexico City, it was once the "City of the Gods"."

    The camera never zoomed in, and the photographer flew slowly from a high place, so Liu Yi asked, "Where is the QR code here?"

    "Design is at its best."

    The camera moved diagonally above the ancient city, and then the time flowed rapidly on the screen, the sun rose and fell in the blink of an eye, the sky changed rapidly, and the scene of the ancient city also changed from time to time.

    The surrounding jungle became denser, the broken buildings in the city became intact, and the lost statue stood on the base again. Liu Yi found that time was not moving forward, but backward. Soon the screen stopped and Huangquan Avenue returned to its original appearance. The lens position was adjusted slightly, and Liu Yi gasped.

    The ancient city of Teotihuacan presents its full picture. The whole city is square and square, and the temples, palaces and roads form a huge QR code.

    "So big, what is the result of scanning it out?"

    "I don't know yet. What technology we don't know prevents the decoding, and the scan is a blank."

    "But I think humans are already very familiar with QR codes. There is also unknown technology here?"

    "You asked the key point," Professor Xu sighed suddenly. "The so-called QR code is actually not a separate invention of human beings. It is the compilation of some kind of text, which converts the text that the human brain cannot understand into a text that can be passed. The form of decoding to read is the target text that the principle is directly borrowed from. So to a considerable extent, the QR code is a kind of reverse engineering."

    Text? The changes in the room reappeared, and the strange symbols he got after scanning the QR code were all over the walls, all kinds of fonts, various shapes, one by one appeared in front of him.

    Liu Yi suddenly understood. Professor Sun Weisheng's judgment clearly appeared in his mind at this moment: For the human brain, it is too complicated. And Professor Xu Tian also said that the human brain cannot understand. After drinking too much Kubota Wanshou one day, Qin Shiwu's words also remembered.

    He said that humans are not alone in the universe.

    "If this is words... Whose words are they?"

    "It's not human anyway," the old man exhaled, "but it's not far from humans. We collected about 600 different prehistoric QR codes and concluded that they are ahead of us in biological and energy-related technologies. A generation, but it is not overwhelming, individual fields are not as good as human beings; the metal and machinery industries are relatively weak and lagging behind human beings."

    Natasha helped explain: "It's like humans who have ordered different technology trees. They are generally a little ahead of us, not too much ahead. If we fight a war, we can have a chance of winning. We found the file and they Calling themselves Saiin, this is a transliteration. As for where they came from, aliens, or living on Earth, it's not clear. I think it's more appropriate to treat them as aliens for the time being."

    Contacting the scenes seen in this room, Liu Yi slapped his head: "You mean, Power A is also, uh, thanks to this weird text?"

    "Yes, that was a rather tortuous story. The well-known inventor of the QR code is Soviet computer scholar Igor Kurchatov, but as far as we know, this is not the case. In early 1975, On the campus of Mizumu University in the turmoil, Professor Lu Yuhai of the Department of Cryptography received a subject one day. Scholars from abroad asked him to analyze a set of strange symbols and study the feasibility of recording information with specific geometric figures. This seems simple The reward for the mission was as high as 4,000 RMB, which was an amazingly large sum at the time."

    Liu Yi gently stabbed Lu Fei in the waist: "That person is also named Lu Ai."

    "Don't interrupt," the girl smiled and avoided. "Listen to the professor carefully."

    "At that time, Professor Lu's child was just born, and his lover was in bed again. He was in need, and he couldn't even afford the child's milk. Speaking of which, even if he didn't invent the QR code, he was a rival to Alan Turing. Scientists have actually fallen to that point...In short, this subject is undoubtedly a help in the snow. The set of symbols he got is actually the words we see now, a total of sixty."

    "Only sixty words? It's a bit difficult." Liu Yi thought to himself.

    "As you can see, it is not an exaggeration for this text to be called a book of heaven. I want to decipher it with just 60 characters. Fortunately, Professor Lu is a master of linguistics in addition to his professional cryptography. With his own power, he completed the invention of the QR code in two weeks, and used the same idea to decipher the sixty characters," the old man sighed with emotion, "Really a talented person."

    "Sorry, can you explain to me, a layman, how difficult is his achievement?"

    "There is an example around me: Thirty years have passed so far, a genius like Mrs. Qin, who independently completed the relevant papers on the practical application of electromagnetic camouflage at the age of twelve, and knew nothing about the principle of Professor Lu's deciphering of the text. What we can do so far, but Is to use his research results."

    "Ms. Qin is...?"

    "It's me," Natasha yelled. "To be precise, Professor Lu did not translate the Syin text, but gave a complete encoding and decoding algorithm, and even the paper was completed. The Soviet person later announced it. Yu Shi's paper is a shameless plagiarism of Professor Lu."

    "Then why has Professor Lu been in obscurity?" Lu Fei asked, "What did he do?"

    "The story is not over yet," Professor Xu Tian became bitter. "In the academic field, Professor Lu Yuhai is impeccable, but he does not know how to protect himself. The foreigner who gave him the subject is actually a Soviet agent, and he got the algorithm. In the following week, Professor Lu was found to hang himself in the dormitory building. At that time, because of the special period, there were so many scholars and professors who did this, and no one was surprised."

    The brown-haired girl pointed out: "But Professor Lu has just been born and received a large amount of remuneration. How can he commit suicide at this time when his life has just turned around?"

    "Yes," the old man agreed. "The following is a logical matter. The Soviet army even skipped the first-generation individual exoskeleton, and suddenly equipped with power armor on a large scale without any technical bedding. Under the complex terrain of Afghanistan , Power A can play a great role, they almost won the war. At that time, everyone was afraid of their technological power, but in the past few years, NATO, China, South America and even Africa, all kinds of power armor seems It popped up overnight, and even the guerrillas got a large number. The Soviets could only accept defeat in the end."

    "Wait," Liu Yi didn't understand, "You mean, the Soviets have equipped a large amount of power in a few years because of the research of Professor Lu Yuhai? Didn't they get the QR code technology?"

    The old man smiled: "You ask this because you don't know anything about Syin's words. Thank God, the Soviet agent did not expect that the sixty words he gave to Professor Lu were the entire power armour. I can't blame him. Who wanted a small symbol to express so much meaning at the time? Come, show things to Xiao Liu."

    Rossey, a black guy, handed a folder with thick stacks of materials. Liu Yi flipped through it roughly. Starting from the theoretical basis of the control system, everything involved in the production of power armor, including transmission, control system, structural strength, engine miniaturization, and materials.

    "these are……?"

    "A total of 1,126 pages, including molecular formulas, design drawings, matching ratios, and programming languages. With the industrial power of mankind at that time, this book is enough to realize the breakthrough of Moment A from zero to one and nothing. This one thousand, one hundred and twenty-six-page plan was obtained after translating those sixty words."
