Message from unicorn18: It’ll take some time to review. Just wait patiently. It takes a lot of effort to launch an airplane.
Sending the data doesn’t mean you’ll go straight to Jeju Island.
I didn’t think I would go to Jeju Island right away either.
As expected, I didn’t commit the crime of turning over the entire disc.
Although the unicorn has never asked me to do that.
This disc is my lifeline.
I don’t know what’s inside, though.
Anyway, since it took time for Jeju Island to make a decision, we were able to take the time to analyze the data left behind by the mysterious Chinese scientist.
It was Cheon Yeong-jae who requested the interpretation and analysis of the data.
“There’s nothing to do, so why don’t you just look through the data? Aren’t you curious about what it is that those guys are trying so hard to find?”
He deserves it.
Because he risked his life and fought in a battlefield where the odds of winning were low.
Since they weren’t planning on moving right away, Ha Tae-hoon made Rebecca stay in the cabin she and her daughter had built.
Although the fighting has come to an end, the Chinese people have a strong desire for revenge and persistence.
You can’t let your guard down because you might be tracked by someone you didn’t know about.
While Cheon Yeong-jae volunteered to be a sentry, Ha Tae-hoon and I began to explore each and every one of the thousands of files using translation programs and online dictionaries.
“······.”
To be honest, I don’t know what it means and I don’t think I’ll understand it even if I keep watching it.
This situation is not much different from throwing a book to a primitive person and telling him to interpret it on his own.
Ha Tae-hoon’s situation wasn’t much different from mine, but he spoke Chinese better than me and he also graduated from a four-year university.
Having a lot of money at home means that even if you fail, you are guaranteed another opportunity.
This scene is a sharp contrast to the scene where Defender, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, worked various odd jobs to make a living.
Anyway, after looking through several files, Ha Tae-hoon carefully presented his hypothesis.
“I think this has something to do with newborns and Awaken.”
“Newborn? Awake?”
I reacted with bewilderment.
Newborn and Awaken.
Because I thought the two concepts were as unrelated as a fountain pen and a mouse.
When I showed a reaction that I didn’t understand at all, Ha Tae-hoon scratched his head and added his own opinion.
“So······ What should I say? This is data that shows that many children with Awaken aptitude are born in China.”
“Of course. Aren’t there dozens of times more births than in Korea? The population is high, but compared to Korea, there has been an incomparable amount of erosion.”
“Have you found anything?”
“There’s just a bunch of headache-inducing stuff like DNA analysis and chromosomes. It’s impossible to interpret.”
“Let’s keep digging. There must be a reason why the Chinese kids are looking for this information.”
So I went back into analyzing(?), but I still had to blankly stream image files made up of numbers, alphabets, and simplified characters without even knowing what I was analyzing.
“wait for a sec.”
In the end, I was the one who asked for time first.
“I think it would be better to ask on the Internet.”
“Internet? That satellite internet, right? The Starchain network that Melon Mask created?”
“It’s been a long time since I’ve heard that name. I think it was something like that. Now they all go by the name Viva! Apocalypse!.”
“Ah. That was it.”
“know?”
“I also played PaleNet for a bit.”
There are a lot of fools and idiots on the Internet, but there are also a very small number of wise people.
Even in our Korean bulletin board, except for a few low-quality users like Seonbi and Dongtan Mom, it was a gathering of men who had a strong scent of white-collar workers who were educated and had some social status.
Now, the general consensus is that about three out of ten people remain, but there is a chance that some of them are capable.
Even if it is not a Korean bulletin board, if it is an English bulletin board with many users and elites like us, you may get a response that is better than you expected.
So, I first uploaded an image file of research data full of formulas and chemical formulas that were impossible to interpret to the English bulletin board.
SKELTON: This is a Chinese research document that I happened to get my hands on. Is there anyone who can interpret it?
The translation function that was activated after Melon Mask’s survival was revealed clearly shows why Melon Mask is at the top of the IT industry.
Even as I write this, I am surprised.
If we look at the reliability of translations that combine big data, AI, and GPT, wouldn’t the language barrier have been resolved within 10 years if cracks had not appeared?
Alpine88: Hmm. Interesting.
xx_dagnite_xx : Is that chemical formula a biological date?
DOMUS: I fired several nuclear missiles at the Chinese bastards at the Ontario silo.
Several comments were posted, perhaps because the mention of Chinese research materials drew aggro.
Although it didn’t receive many recommendations or a large increase in views, it is true that some people have tried to interpret the data in their own way just by looking at the comments.
I was thinking of posting the information on the Korean bulletin board, but decided against it.
I felt that there was no need to do that.
Honestly, there’s no one smarter than me on the Korean bulletin boards anymore, right?
Looking back at the past, it seems like there was no such thing as a scientist.
In this way, I continued to work with Ha Tae-hoon on interpreting incomprehensible texts, using the insurance of collective intelligence.
The radio rang in the afternoon.
“A car is passing by in the distance.”
Ha Tae-hoon and I stood up almost simultaneously and picked up our guns.
Then Cheon Yeong-jae’s voice was heard.
“Oh, nothing much. He seems like a passerby. He looks like a refugee.”
Ha Tae-hoon and I looked at each other and smiled.
The idea made sense.
I was worried about the Chinese military, but I also didn’t want to see this incomprehensible data.
I took a short break and then analyzed the data again.
I tried accessing the English bulletin board again in the afternoon.
It may be dawn in the US, but day and night are not much different in the Destruction Zone.
In fact, there is a higher probability that something worse will happen at night than during the day.
If I were to turn on someone’s bunker, I would choose night over day.
There was a new comment in addition to the one that was posted earlier.
xx_gnite_xx : It is too early to draw any conclusions as this is only a very small portion of the data, but when examining only the data presented, what this data tells us is data about genetics.
xx_gnite_xx: To break it down again, the data seems to suggest that while people affected by the rift known as the Awaken do not formally display any abnormalities in their genes, they are actually causing fatal genetic defects in their offspring.
xx_gnite_xx : This is just my hypothesis, you know. I’m tired after analyzing data for the first time in a while. I should go to bed. If you have any additional data, please upload it. I’ll check it when I wake up.
“Hoo.”
Honestly, I didn’t have high expectations.
But he’s saying something that sounds pretty plausible.
I glanced at the research materials opened in another window, keeping an eye on this friend’s ID.
Should I upload sequential data, or should I upload data that I think is important?
I think one by one will be okay.
Well, there’s a chance this guy is lying.
It’s not something that happens in a day or two that internet idiots are deceiving people with words they heard somewhere.
Just because we’re Americans doesn’t mean there aren’t people like that.
Although I am an expert in data interpretation, like an internet expert, I searched for posts from English message board users who offered plausible opinions.
xx_gnite_xx : Should I kill the blonde husband? I have a 12 gauge.
xx_gnite_xx: I’ve grown the poppy this far, but how can I make a potion that will make me happy?
xx_gnite_xx : I want to rape the blonde who lives in the shelter next door.
xx_gnite_xx : Gangsta style beatbox
xx_gnite_xx : I want to eat crispy potato chips that are freshly fried in oil.
xx_gnite_xx : The old lady from the shelter across the street is finally dead haha
xx_gnite_xx : (Photo attached) Is this a symptom of syphilis?
xx_gnite_xx : I masturbated while thinking about the blonde who lives in the shelter next door
…
…
“······.”
This doesn’t feel good at all.
But looking at the writing, the environment doesn’t look that good.
If the world is one where scientists and researchers cannot stand it without going crazy, they can vent their usual madness by writing articles like that.
Above all, this guy’s gang-style beatbox.
It was so horrible that I couldn’t bear to look at it.
But let’s not give up hope.
There’s still a chance that this guy is a crazy scientist.
I was looking through some new material to upload.
“Oh. This.”
Ha Tae-hoon, who had not said a word other than asking to eat, suddenly opened his mouth.
“Did you find anything?”
“Document records. They are all sentences.”
“Oh. Really?”
For ignorant people like us, sentences are more familiar than scientific data or numbers.
“What does it say?”
“Uh. Wait a minute.”
Ha Tae-hoon put his face against the monitor, then frowned and swore.
“Oh, shit. This really sucks.”
“why?”
“It’s written in Cantonese.”
“Cantonese?”
“It’s used in Hong Kong, but it’s not even written language, it’s all colloquial language.”
“Then you can’t communicate?”
“Oh. We can’t communicate. The words we use are different. I can’t read this.”
“Then just wait a minute.”
I received the file from Ha Tae-hoon and uploaded it to Viva! Apocalypse!
Of course, in secret.
(lock symbol) SKELTON: Hidden file of skeleton
My writing is displayed like this on the Internet, but secret writing is not visible to other users.
This feature was added when Vivabot took over as administrator.
Although it has been criticized as a useless function in this world where only the spectators who are eager to show off their own diaries gather, these secret posts can be opened by inviting some users who have registered as friends.
Of course, there is no one to show here.
The only reason I’m posting here is to use the translation function.
– Select the language you want to translate to.
Viva! Apocalypse! supports multiple languages.
It even supports Mayan, a language that has no speakers, so it would naturally support Cantonese, which is used by Hong Kong people.
As expected, Cantonese is visible.
I immediately asked for an interpretation in Cantonese.
A spinning gear appears for a moment, and then the language of the document begins to change to Korean.
“Oh.”
Ha Tae-hoon, who was watching from the side, let out an exclamation.
“Is this an upper-level version of Mamago? It seems to have much better functions than Mamago.”
“Because it was made by Melon Mask.”
“Oh. Really?”
“For your information, I have exchanged messages with Melon Mask personally.”
“Is it real?!”
I smiled broadly and showed him the historical records that Melon Mask and I had exchanged.
“Wow······. Melon Mask. This kid really went to space. I thought it was just a rumor. I thought it was true.”
He took a sip of coffee with a faint smile on his face.
Slurp-
Viva! Apocalypse! I’m glad I signed up.
It’s one of the best choices I’ve ever made in my life.
When a person with a silver spoon in his mouth like Ha Tae-hoon was living like a primitive man in the darkness of the destruction of civilization, Park Gyu enjoyed a cultural life and global networking that was not much different from before the war.
With the pride of a Vivarian, I turned my gaze to the translated sentence.
Slurp-
Ha Tae-hoon looked at the same document with me while drinking coffee.
But this gentleman.
He reads faster than me.
“uh?!”
Before I could even interpret the first sentence, Ha Tae-hoon let out a bewildered sound.
“this······.”
Belatedly, I also caught up with his reading speed.
“······.”
This is not a research record.
It is neither an evaluation nor an output of the research.
What we are looking at is a message left by a scientist known as “Wang Seo Bang.”
[Call me the demon yaksha.]
The anonymous scientist’s document, which began with an introduction reminiscent of Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, calmly described a truth we had never thought of, but were vaguely aware of.
