Chapter 886 Concept

As Cheng Zijie expected, this simple sentence caused huge uproar

After listening to the female translator, she did not immediately translate it to General Kaka, but frowned and said: Sorry, General Cheng, can you please repeat it?

Of course Cheng Zijie knew why she asked so, and repeated what she said just now with a smile.

The female translator thought carefully for a moment, and seemed to have carefully considered the wording before she translated General Kaka with a little puzzled expression.

After hearing this, the young black general did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought.

At the same time, he unconsciously reached out and folded a blooming flower from the vase on the table. His fingers, like burnt branches, and ripped off the thick and succulent petals and kneaded them into pieces.

It was not until his fingertips were covered with purple-red juice that he suddenly looked up: General Cheng, I know nothing about the language of your country. Although Liqi is studying this direction, it is not her native language, so I still want to confirm again that you just said that the master of the stars is not an singular, but a plural, right?

Cheng Zijie replied calmly but without hesitation: Yes

In fact, Cheng Zijie didn't have much confidence in his heart, because he had only heard Xia Yundan mention this point of view once.

But to this day, all research materials on the King of Stars are based on speculation, and there is no relevant evidence to prove its existence and what it exists.

Then, it is certainly not a deceptive point to be made

After hearing Cheng Zijie's affirmative answer, General Kaka sighed like a thumb, kneaded the flowers in his hand into a ball, and then said to himself something.

After the female translator asked, he nodded, and the female translator translated this sentence for Cheng Zijie: If so, the doubts that have troubled me for many years can explain why I have never thought of this possibility before?

Years? Cheng Zijie was a little surprised and asked involuntarily

The virus outbreak has been less than half a year, so where did you start this years?

General Kaka finally returned to normal and replied: I left the tribe since I was less than ten years old and received a modern education about five years ago, I entered the best university in my country in the original sect leader. Since then, I began to study and organize the ancient beliefs and legends of our tribe.

Cheng Zijie then realized that long before the virus broke out, General Kaka began to study the King of Stars.

If it weren't for this disaster, this lucky son of God would probably have become a scholar

But Kaka frowned, and even Cheng Zijie could hear the loss and helplessness in his tone: But my research is very difficult because although my tribe is ancient and the data that can be verified records tens of thousands of years of history, it has never developed mature texts.

Cheng Zijie listened quietly, with respect and sigh in his heart

He could imagine the impact of such an ancient but primitive civilization in the face of a modern world, as well as the representatives of them, the confusion and helplessness of those outstanding figures such as Kaka.

Kaka grinned, with a bitter smile on her black face: Our tribe only has some very simple and primitive writing prototypes, and there is no way to record slightly more detailed and complex information. The legends about the master of the stars are all just word of mouth, and they are supplemented through graphic information such as murals and sculptures. So, when I sorted out these information and recorded them in modern words, the difficulties I encountered were really unimaginable.

Of course Cheng Zijie understands this

When collecting and sorting the ancient information about the King of Stars in our country, it also took Professor Jiang and his countless efforts and energy. Many people cooperated for a long time, and even used the national power to achieve some results. There were still many omissions and errors.

Kaka alone has to complete such a job alone in a foreign country, and the difficulties can be imagined.

So, he sincerely exclaimed: You are really amazing

But Kaka just smiled self-deprecatingly and shook her head: No, I have nothing extraordinary, I have hardly made any valuable results, I have just compiled a collection of poems and photographed graphic materials related to the Master of Stars. It can be said that there is no progress at all, and I can't even do a systematic summary.

Cheng Zijie was a little strange and couldn't help but blurt out: Why?

Kaka smiled bitterly: The more I studied those materials, the more I found that there were too many conflicts between them. In fact, the reason was very simple: because the original language of our tribe did not even have the concept of singular and plural.

Cheng Zijie thought about it for a moment and found it difficult to imagine

Kaka saw his suspicion and smiled and said: It's incredible, right? But the fact is that in our language, lions and lion groups are completely different words, trees and forests are completely different words, and there is no such thing as two lions and three trees. Two lions are small lion groups and twenty lions, and the big lion groups are all that. Although I learned other languages ​​very early, the thinking habits I developed in my childhood have made it difficult for me to distinguish the concepts of singular and plural numbers. So, I didn't expect that the owner of the stars is not a lion, but a lion group is not a tree, but a forest.

The atmosphere became quiet for a moment

Cheng Zijie felt a little complicated. He didn't expect that such a simple unverified guess would give the other party so much help.

General Kaka said to himself a few more words before saying to Cheng Zijie: Thank you for this inspiring message. Many of my questions have been explained. So, General Cheng, there is not only one master of the stars, but multiple plural ones. Do you have the exact evidence to prove this, right?

Cheng Zijie waved his hand quickly: No, this is just a guess, or speculation

Is it just a guess? Kaka stretched out his black fingers, knocked on the black forehead, and looked at Cheng Zijie expectantly: Can you please explain why you guessed like this? If it weren't for your prompt, I would never have thought of this. I believe that you made such a guess because you found some clues

Cheng Zijie smiled ashamedly and said: Sorry, as you can see, I myself spend most of my time doing military activities, rather than studying these things. This conjecture is the specific details reported to me by the researchers. I can only know if I ask them.

Although Kaka was a little disappointed, he knew that he could not force it, so he could only settle for the second best. He asked: So, can we cooperate to conduct relevant research?

Cheng Zijie didn't know how to reply for a while, after all, this was a matter between two countries.

But Kaka seemed to have some misunderstandings and said: Although I was the only one who studied the master of the stars, now I have organized many scholars to study together. I believe that we also have the results that your country needs. Some results may only be possible for us to discover.

Cheng Zijie raised his eyebrows: Oh?

Kaka replied proudly: If nothing unexpected happens, we will find the place where the Star Master descends to the earth soon. Once we find that kind of ruin, I believe we will make breakthrough progress. If we cooperate, I welcome your country's scientific researchers to participate in the excavation work.

Cheng Zijie can only admit that the conditions this guy threw out are indeed very tempting

He swallowed and replied: This is a major matter involving our two countries, and I have no right to reply here

Kaka laughed: Since we are discussing related matters here, it proves that we have a key role. I believe that as long as we are willing, we can do it, right? General Cheng, since you have the courage to come here alone, how could such a thing stump you?

This kind of words always make people feel comfortable

Cheng Zijie couldn't help laughing: Of course I am willing to cooperate, but General Kaka, you are like me, at least you have to convince a large group of people, right?

Yes, General Kaka's face was full of confidence, which made Cheng Zijie feel quite worried: But I won't have any problems here.

OK, Cheng Zijie stopped talking nonsense and asked: Since we all have the same goals and consistent intentions, I also have some questions
