chapter 44 Unsolvable puzzles

The front door of the small courtyard was made a mess by Mrs. Huo's gang. After Andrew Qi sent Theo Lu away, he decided to go back to the school for a walk. He expected that when he went back, it would be cleaned up. If Theo Lu If you don't even have this ability, you are not worthy of sitting in the Lin family for decades. Courses in universities are usually boring, because many professors like to follow the textbook, and they have been following the textbook for decades. How can students like it? Therefore, under normal circumstances, Andrew Qi would just fall asleep even if he was at school. However, Erica Hu's lecture on "The Evolution of Ancient Characters" today was quite good. It can be said that he was full of energy and spirit, and his chest... well, it was also quite full. There was nothing I could do about it. V-collar Hu was the kind of person who could attract students' attention. the existence of force. However, today's class given by Erica Hu even Andrew Qi found it somewhat inspiring. No, on the podium, there is a tortoise shell with white characters on a black background, spinning around. Professor Hu held the tortoise shell in his hand and posed a probing question to the students: "This is oracle bone inscriptions, which can be traced back to the Peiligang cultural site more than 9,000 years ago. Writing has played an important role in the inheritance of civilization - if If the whole world needed a universal writing language, what would be the best writing language?” "English! English is the most widely spoken language in the world." "French, because French is the most beautiful language!" “I think it’s Chinese, because Chinese has the largest number of speakers!” "Japanese! Japanese is the most picturesque! Hey~" "..." Everyone had different answers. The beautiful professor gently lowered her arm and signaled everyone to be quiet, "Students, what I just asked was what text is the most universal, not what language. If there is a text that anyone can read, they can If you understand the meaning, then there will be no language barrier. For example, the word "山" in the oracle bone inscriptions, even a child who has never learned any writing, can understand the meaning of this word - Andrew Qi Yu, what do you think? What words can be used all over the world?” Erica Hu usually hardly looked at Qi Yu, a "connected person", as if out of sight and out of mind, but today she Andrew Qi to answer questions, with an encouraging look in her eyes? Did you read that right? "Rune. Runes are universal in all the worlds!"Andrew Qi came up with this answer without thinking, but then realized that this answer might be provocative, so he explained, "I mean, if, if runes are also A kind of writing, then it must be a kind of writing that even gods, ghosts and demons can understand. Doesn’t it mean that there is no need for language and everyone can communicate without any hindrance?” There was laughter all around, everyone thought Andrew Qi was joking. This time, Erica Hu surprisingly did not reprimand Andrew Qi, but instead came to his rescue: "Andrew Qi Yu's hypothesis actually has some truth. He has grasped the key to the problem - is it true that we use language as the first element of communication? Is it correct? Because even if it is the same language, there may be many ways of interpretation, which can easily lead to ambiguity and communication errors! It may even cause huge mistakes! Therefore, the text itself should serve communication and communication, not It should only have the function of recording! I will give you an assignment topic - tracing the meaning behind ancient writings. This is an open-ended topic. As long as everyone studies and digs it carefully, no matter whether the understanding is biased or not, you can get a certain amount of credit at the end of the semester. point." Not to mention, even Andrew Qi agrees with Erica Hu's words. The ancient Chinese characters are extensive and profound. If they were just used for recording, even Cang Jie, the ancestor who created characters, would be so angry that he would crawl out of the ground. You know this When an ancestor created writing, there was a vision of "Raining millet from the sky and cries of ghosts at night"! There must be great secrets and great horrors in ancient texts! When they heard that this assignment could earn certain extra points at the end of the semester, the students were naturally very happy and felt that Professor Hu seemed to be in a good mood today. However, not everyone was in a good mood. For example, Nachaman Chang was in a very unhappy mood. He whispered to Andrew Qi: "After class, our dormitory is going to clean up the garbage behind the dormitory building. The monitor asked me to inform you. !” "Notify me? I have no plans to go, and I don't live in the dormitory anymore."Andrew Qi was quite straightforward. "Uh..."Nachaman Chang didn't expect Qi Yu to be so straightforward, "Well... actually, I didn't plan to go, so why should we go to our dormitory? Why didn't the squad leader set an example? Why didn't they go to their dormitory first -" "It's useless for you to tell me all this!"Andrew Qi said, "You have to go and talk to the squad leader, what's the name of 'Dan'?" "Sun Mingdan!"Nachaman Chang said depressedly, "He is a guy who is bound to retaliate. Are you sure you don't want to go?" "What do you think?"Andrew Qi asked back, "Don't affect my listening to the class!" "You listen to the class -"Nachaman Chang felt that this guy Andrew Qi would listen to the class seriously. Is this because the sun is rising in the west? Not to mention, Andrew Qi listened very carefully to this class. Even Erica Hu frequently glanced at him with approval. However, when class was over, Qi Yu was just about to leave the classroom when he was stopped by a person, the squad leader Sun Mingdan: "Andrew Qi, after class, your dormitory has to clean up the garbage behind Building 6. This is voluntary labor. Can’t be absent!” "I don't live in the dormitory, what does it have to do with me."Andrew Qi naturally didn't mind offending a small class monitor. He had even offended Professor Hu and Counselor Qiu before. "I find that your consciousness is very low - stop!" Sun Mingdan wanted to criticize and educate Andrew Qi, but Andrew Qi didn't accept this and left directly. "What's going on?" At this time, Erica Hu came over. Sun Mingdan's move was to attract Professor Hu's attention, because he knew that Professor Hu was very dissatisfied with Qi Yu, so how could he miss the opportunity to Andrew Qi a lesson? Sure enough, Erica Hu came over and started asking about the reason. However, Erica Hu said as soon as she opened her mouth: "Sun Mingdan! I found that your classmate has some ideological problems - as the squad leader, you should set an example and do your part in everything! Why do you have to arrange for other people to do such meaningful things as voluntary labor?" How about doing it in the dormitory? Even if we arrange it in order, dormitory 401 should go first, right? You have to remember that as a squad leader, you must not do it for personal gain due to official duties! Counselor Qiu said that he is considering whether to recommend you for preparatory party member training. I think we need to slow down!" "Don't - Professor Hu, I have deeply realized my mistake! I will correct it immediately! I will lead our dormitory to do voluntary labor -" Sun Mingdan did not expect that Erica Hu would support Qi Andrew Qi, and what he said was reasonable. Of course he didn't dare to argue, who didn't know that Counselor Qiu was her niece. It is of course as easy for Erica Hu to deal with people like Sun Mingdan as it is for a cook to untie a cow. Andrew Qi can almost predict that in half an hour, Sun Mingdan will be in the garbage dump for his reserve party. members and fought hard. "Professor Hu, has your matter been resolved?"Andrew Qi only saw Erica Hu state in class today and knew that the Huo family had bowed their heads. "Thank you."Erica Hu said in a low voice and sincerely. She did not expect that Andrew Qi's ability was so great that he could make the old lady of the Huo family bow her head. "You're welcome, as you know, I am a 'connected person', but there are some things that are much easier for us 'connected people' to handle."Andrew Qi joked, "By the way, Professor Hu, you are going to teach us today It was a vivid lesson, but the homework——" "You want to not turn in your homework? That's not possible!" "No."Andrew Qi said seriously, "I want to ask you to help me complete this homework question!" Andrew Qi handed Erica Hu a piece of white paper, which was filled with some strange words or symbols, some of which looked like flying birds. "What is this?"Erica Hu asked in surprise. "The difficult problem! I haven't solved it... maybe you can tell me the answer!"Andrew Qi said seriously.
