Chapter 15:

"......... Fifty-six ... years old?"
Mute repeats these words emotionally.
No wonder he would say that ‘you are still young’.
He is more than three times his age!
"Yes, very young, right?"
The female officer felt that this little guy must have been shocked by the young admiral's youth, so he was so astonished.
"..."
Sir, I think our circuit of thinking is not on the same line. What is the criterion for judging you when you are fifty-six years old and how the face is maintained like fifty years old ...
and many more.
The teenager suddenly thought of a key point.
In his opinion, fifty-six years old is already an old man. But to everyone here, fifty-six is ​​still very young, which means ...
Mute looked at the female officer in front of her, opened her mouth to ask, paused, and closed silently.
Ask a woman's age in person, is he trying to kill himself ...
He thought about it and then wit a question.
"Excuse me, Lieutenant Colonel Via said that the seniors from the History Research Department are very old, is it true?"
"Yes, they are all older professors, so you can't make trouble if you go."
The female officer answered with a smile.
The little guy behind her seemed to her to be just a child, and she was pretty good along the way, and those eyes looked bright when she looked at her. She thought the child was quite cute, age It is not much different from her son, so the following consciousness has taken the attitude toward his own son.
"I will do things seriously."
Mute hurriedly expressed her attitude, and then pretended to ask a casual word.
"I wonder if they are my grandpa old?"
"Well ~~ It should be older than your grandpa. The oldest one, the professor in charge of the history research department, is already 308 years old this year."
"………………"
How long will the average human life span in the future?
The so-called longest-living turtles on earth can only live for more than 200 years.
... Well, he must admit that the 56-year-old major is really too young!

……………………
The metal gate opened automatically, and the middle-aged female officer stepped into the room in a straight posture. A strange instrument with a broken ancient book floating in the glass ball was carefully held in her hand.
After entering the door, she took a few quick steps and put her hands down.
Mute followed her into the entrance, breathing as soon as she entered the door.
Because everything in front of him is really amazing.
He saw a lot like the glass ball on the instrument held by the female officer.
A huge cylindrical glass tube occupies the center of the room, and the translucent liquid inside is slightly rippling with a pale cyan sheen.
In the liquid of that huge glass tube, dozens of glass seemed chaotic, but they floated in an orderly light blue water wave.
In each glass ball, a broken book floated.
There are countless strange silver fluorescent dots in the liquid, twinkling, and they are now wrapped around a glass ball, and the countless fluorescent dots are constantly spinning around the glass ball.
And on the huge arc-shaped light curtain in the middle of the room, the old books in the glass ball surrounded by silver fluorescent dots are magnified.
"Professor Terry, this is the newcomer that Lieutenant Colonel Via brought me."
The voice of the female officer who brought him over awakened Mute from the gods. He turned around and saw three or four old men standing opposite him.
Although he was also wearing military uniforms, he did not have the spirit of soldiers. They all wore a white robe outside their military uniforms, adding some elegance to the old men.
The old man with gray hair in the lead, the one known as Professor Terry, glanced at Mute.
Then he shook his head.
"Tell Via that we don't need servicemen here."
"No, this is not a serviceman. Lieutenant Colonel Via did let him participate in the research among you."
As the words came out, the old men in white knee-length coats frowned.
"Just such a kid?"
Professor Terry said unhappyly and looked at Mute's apparently childish young face in disgust.
"What can he understand?"
Mankind has been yearning to return to earth.
Therefore, no matter the royal family, the nobles of all parties, and the warlord forces, all have research institutes dedicated to the ancient civilization of the earth.
They hope to find the orientation of the earth through the study of those ancient books.
If it can lead humans back to the earth, then those who do this will definitely enjoy an extremely high reputation among humans.
However, due to the interstellar war, many of the history and culture of the earth have been lost. Even the language used by humans on the earth is unknown.
Today's historians can barely identify some of the languages ​​used on Earth by guessing.
They call this language the ancient language of the earth.
However, whether it is studying this ancient language or studying the ancient culture of the earth, these things are extremely time-consuming. Those who can accomplish something and have authority on this are usually older scholars.
Therefore, as soon as Professor Terry saw the kid who was still young, he immediately positioned him as a kid who came to martial arts and was unhappy with him.
"Professor Terry, this is the order of Lieutenant Colonel Via, the trainee has learned part of the ancient language of the earth due to family tradition."
"I see, I know, I'll do it later."
The white-haired old man waved his hand impatiently, and you can go without disturbing my expression.
He didn't bother to look at Mute, apparently didn't take him seriously, and several other old men continued to invest in their favorite cause research.
The female officer said nothing and turned and left here.
Mute was left behind, and the old men were obviously too lazy to take care of him, just doing their own thing.
He didn't say a word, looked very obedient and honest, but glanced over the glass soaked in water.
So familiar words ...
The teenager was so emotional, it felt like he hadn't seen these familiar words for a long time.
Union language of the earth.
Alas, there are only a few remaining pages, and the words above are actually in Asian and European languages.
Mute did not know that such ancient artifacts passed down from the earth were extremely rare.
The more ancient books on Earth you have, the older and more ancient your family is. If those aristocrats in the empire get a copy, they will get the treasure and pass it down as a family treasure.
So now there are dozens of ancient books here, which are quite rare.
It is precisely because of these treasures that these ancient cultural historians of the earth, especially Professor Terry, will ignore the danger of war and resolutely follow the Ishtar warship.
The teenager was watching it with interest, and Professor Terry, who was white-haired, pressed a key on the console next to him.
As a result, the pale cyan water wave in the huge glass tube shook slightly, and the group of silver fluorescent dots quickly moved around. After a while, it swam around a glass ball in the lower left corner and turned around Up.
Soon, close-ups of that glass ball that were better than the other remnants appeared on the light curtain.
Those ancient books are quite fragile. They are broken by a little wind, so they are carefully stored in a vacuum glass ball, and then the inside page is made with a special perspective instrument. The perspective is scanned and presented on a light curtain.
Those professors and scholars who have made great achievements in the study of the ancient history of the earth surrounded the past.
These days, they have been studying the contents of this book.
Looking at the glass for a long time, watching them undulate in the water, Mute looked thirsty.
He looked around, there was hot tea on the table, and he walked over and poured a cup.
As he drank, he just saw the old men surrounded by the light curtain discussing something, so subconsciously, while drinking tea, he also moved his eyes to the light curtain.
puff--! !! !!
The teenager spit out all the water.
The tea and the air intake made him cough desperately.
"be quiet!"
Professor Terry, who was discussing the issue, turned his head, and gave the ugly little ghost a ugly look.
Obviously I'm here to mix the credit, not to be honest.
He thought dissatisfied, looking at Mute even worse.
"Ahem ..."
Mute, while coughing, wiped the tea spray from the corners of his mouth with his hands, while holding the pages on the light curtain, his face showed an extremely delicate and complex look.
"This character has always been a symbol of orientation on earth."
"Yes, and it's followed by a number, it must be marked with coordinates."
"I think it's true, maybe this number implies something."
"Uh, that ..."
"Don't make a noise!"
The boy opened his mouth to speak, and was choked back by Professor Terry.
After the lesson was learned, the old man went back to discuss with his colleagues.
"We should go in this direction, this font seems to--"
"I think ..." Mute still couldn't help but interject. "This shouldn't be any coordinates ..."
"Is the kid telling you to shut up and not understand! You are not qualified to comment here!"
"........."
Seeing himself roaring to calm down the troublesome ghost who likes to intervene, the old man turned back with satisfaction and continued to discuss with his colleagues.
"According to our previous determination, this character seems to represent the north on earth. On earth, space is always only expressed in three dimensions, that is, people who live on earth mainly use four directions to mark Your place. "
Mute: "..............."
Professor, you're right, that character really means the north direction.
but--
The key is this, but once this character is added to the number, the symbolic meaning is completely different!
The teenager looked at the only remaining symbol on the page of the broken book that was being studied seriously by the scholars with an extremely complicated mood.
[N25]
... I am still at the third level!
Mute covered her face and could not help but swear.
In his era, according to the unified regulations of the Earth Alliance, all cultural industries such as text, film, television, comics, etc. were divided into three levels.
n0 is full age.
n15 is viewable by adults.
n25 ... you know ......... the highest third level, which is the most yellow and violent.
"You see, the meaning of this character is life, and this word should be human, and this," primitive "is the meaning of origin. I am afraid that the content of this ancient book refers to the origin of human life. Great research value. "
The white-haired professor talked eloquently, and a number of old scholars nodded around him frequently, with a reasonable expression on your face.
"so……"
Mute: "..............."
He saw the complete sentence like this.
‘John ​​leaned over and smiled, his hands were undescriptible, undescriptive, the place where life was born, undescriptive, undescriptive, undescriptable ... The most primitive, undescriptible, undescriptable, and undescriptable of humans ...’
"Here, the word should represent mother. In addition, the word near here should mean children, babies, uh, yes, this book should explain the origin of human life."
Mute: "..............."
The original words he saw on that page were--
‘He bites, is not descriptive, is not descriptive ... on this woman who has only recently become a mother ... is not described, is not descriptive, is not descriptive ... bites and like a baby ...
"So, we can focus on this book next."
Professor Terry made his concluding remarks.
Historians have said that the professor is right to the professor.
Aside, watching the white-haired and white-bearded elderly people said that they would work hard to study the n25 yellow storm version of the dark-haired young man who felt that his embarrassing cancer had reached the late stage of no cure.
…………
Should he tell the truth?
Why does he have the feeling that if he tells the truth he will be killed by this group of old scholars whose average age is said to be over 260 or 70?
