Chapter 28: Chaos

After finishing the can, Ji Yushi recovered a lot of strength.
After eating, the first thing he did was to rinse his mouth in the bathroom attached to the small room. To be honest, if it wasn’t because he had no choice, he wouldn’t have eaten canned food. He was a picky eater.
But seeing that Song Qinglan was even more picky than him, and in a situation where they should stay in good condition, he forced himself to finish it.

After rinsing his mouth, Song Qinglan who was pickier than him was already standing at the hatch. He asked, “Advisor Ji, have you seen these words before?”

This small room was very clean. There was nothing on the desks and cabinets. To prevent them from escaping, the bearded man didn’t leave anything behind.
The hatch was a style that could be opened and closed from both the inside and the outside. It required a password to be inputted into the touch panel.
Over the past few days, Song Qinglan had tried multiple passwords to no avail.

Ji Yushi walked over to look.
He had never seen those characters before.

It was a familiar password touch panel with a keyboard but there were no number keys. Every one of the keys where the number keys should be had strange symbols written and each and every one of them were different. They probably represent the meaning of a number.
if it corresponded with Arabic numerals 1-9, the remaining keys should be lock, unlock, etc.

Song Qinglan said, “I have been idle these days and have tried many combinations while regarding them as Arabic numerals but firstly, I didn’t know how many digits the password is and secondly, I didn’t know what the possible meaning behind it is, so I wasn’t able to open it.”

Selecting blindly would just be a waste of time.
No matter how intelligent one may be, it was still not possible for them to crack open a code so easily.

At this moment, both started to miss Duan Wen who always carried various high-tech accessories around with him. If Duan Wen was here, they would be able to use a device to directly decode it.

“It may be Big Beard’s language.” Ji Yushi said.
“Big Beard?” Song Qinglan reacted and said, “You mean that big guy? He’s like a savage. If this goes on any longer, I will almost be like him.”

Song Qinglan’s green stubble was fairly obvious. The speed of it growing was indeed quite fast. If it was a year and a half, it would likely become a beard comparable to Big Beard’s.
A man’s physiological structure and male hormone determined the growth of their hair. Song Qinglan originally didn’t care much about it.
But with the two standing side by side at the hatch and looking down from his angle, he happened to see Ji Yushi’s clean chin and delicate skin……..Ji Yushi probably was the type who didn’t grow beards.

Song Qinglan went on to say, “I have never heard of Big Beard’s language before. Advisor Ji, do you have any impressions?”
Ji Yushi shook his head, “No.”

The rapid development of science and technology in their Star Era allowed people to be exposed to all kinds of knowledge and information from all over the world. Some may be noticed by others while others may be inadvertently ignored, but for Ji Yushi, as long as it was something he had seen, heard, or felt, he would never forget.
Because he didn’t have the ability to forget.
That was why Song Qinglan asked.

“According to Star Era 1420’s Earth Language Encyclopedia, there are currently 7000 different languages in our world, many of which are endangered languages.” Ji Yushi recalled Big Beard’s unintelligible words, “So it is normal for me not to have heard it before.”
Having said that, he was puzzled, “But, in order to create a space capsule, technological development must be rather advanced, and it is impossible for just that alone to be developed. Arabic numerals have already been around for many years. Why are they using such an uncommon method instead?”
