The pronunciation was perfect! It was so standard that Qi Ji felt like he was back home!
what happened? !
Why do Chinese words appear in the other world?!
And it came from the mouth of Donna, an ordinary human girl!
In the next few milliseconds, Qi Ji's brain worked rapidly, carefully reviewing all the knowledge in his memory about the grammar, vocabulary, word formation and other aspects of the human common language.
After a short period of time that was almost non-existent, her recollection ended. The result she obtained not only failed to solve her doubts, but instead cast a thicker cloud of doubt over her heart:
In the database of tens of thousands of words in the common human language... there is no word pronounced as "dian4", and there are almost no words that sound similar!
Because in the common language of mankind, the syllable "dian4" does not conform to its word formation method at all. Not to mention in formal dictionaries, even when creating words for special needs, it is basically impossible to make up such a pronunciation.
Just like on Earth, even if a person does not understand Japanese, English and Russian, as long as he hears others speaking these languages, even if he does not understand the meaning, he can roughly tell which language the other person is speaking.
This is because different languages have different pronunciation characteristics, which are like "business cards" imprinted in the language. They have very specific and tangible characteristics and can be easily captured by the listener's intuition.
The pronunciation of "dian4" is to the common language of mankind what the Russian word is to Chinese, it is extremely inappropriate. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for words with such pronunciation to appear in Chinese!
what is going on?!
"Xiaoyao...?"
Donna, who was about to continue introducing her little invention, suddenly became speechless. She stared blankly at the face of Yao Lingwu beside her, stunned.
She just felt that at a certain hidden moment, this mysterious girl seemed to have undergone some subtle but not to be ignored changes.
On that beautiful and pure face, the faint smile remained, and did not fade or disappear...
It just solidified.
Donna didn't know what this change meant, but her instinct told her...it was extremely serious.
A chill that penetrated her heart crept up her spine for no apparent reason and occupied her heart.
"Donna," Qi Ji said calmly after a few seconds, as if nothing had happened, "I have a few questions I want to confirm with you. Go back first and I'll talk slowly."
"go back?"
Donna was slightly stunned, not knowing what was going on, but her subconscious told her that now was definitely not the time to refuse.
So she didn't refuse, but glanced at the devices being played not far away with an embarrassed look on her face:
"Then I have to pack these things..."
"No need. No one will steal it if you leave it here."
Qi Ji spoke softly in a calm tone but with an attitude that did not brook disobedience. Then, without giving Donna any more time to say anything, he stretched out one hand, grasped her arm, and turned to squeeze out of the crowd.
"Um... er, okay, okay..."
Donna thought about it for a moment and found that there was really no need for her to stay here all the time. The overall quality of students at the Imperial National University was quite high, and it was unlikely that they would steal something in broad daylight.
What's more, the current Xiaoyao... inexplicably gave her an extremely terrifying feeling...
You absolutely, absolutely cannot go against her!
Donna sat at the edge of the venue, surrounded by students watching or queuing in all directions. Under normal circumstances, it would not be easy to squeeze out.
But Qi Ji only took a step forward, and all the students in front of her were like the sea in front of Moses, and they all moved to the sides at the same time, not daring to block her steps at all.
It wasn't that she used some kind of mental magic on the students, but they also felt it at the same time... the sudden change in the temperament of this suddenly appearing beautiful girl, and felt an inexplicable chill that penetrated into their bones.
At this moment, they felt that what they were facing was not a lovely and beautiful girl, but a river of lava with dazzling bright colors - gorgeous, beautiful, colorful, like a dream scene, but containing an ultimate breath of destruction.
Everyone subconsciously avoided the path she was going to pass, and those noblemen who were eager to approach her and chat with her all stopped and dared not say a word.
"Well……"
Donna was pulled away from the area by Qi Ji, looking a little uneasy and confused - she had no idea what happened to Xiaoyao, what she had said... that caused her to undergo such a strange and scary change?
Qi Ji took Donna to a corner that was in the blind spot of all outsiders. With a simple wave of his arm, dreamy colorful star sand appeared out of thin air around the two of them and teleported them to the tree house in the grove.
Strictly speaking, the tree house is no longer in the grove.
Because after Candice, Clement and others reported their adventures, the grove had been secretly blocked and surrounded by a large number of powerful people and scientific researchers from the imperial government under the cover of "academic competition", and a carpet search was launched. Not a single grain of sand could escape their analysis.
It seems that they are determined to obtain the so-called "subspace fragments".
If the tree house still stood blatantly next to the huge rock on the "back mountain" as before, it would definitely be discovered in an instant.
Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Qi Ji had already used some space-related abilities he had learned from the "mysterious shape in the starry sky" to isolate the space where the tree house was located from reality, and had done sufficient concealment work.
Not only does it not have any physical connection with the real world, even conventional space spells cannot detect its existence.
The only one who can enter and exit the tree house freely is probably Qi Ji, who has mastered skills such as "space grafting" and is very familiar with the covert operations of the tree house.
"Would it be convenient for you to take me to your room?"
After returning to the tree house with Donna, Qi Ji let go of her hand, crossed his arms over his chest, glanced at Donna's bedroom, and asked calmly.
"Of course..."
Although the other party asked in a questioning manner, the current situation obviously could not be refused. Donna nodded vigorously without hesitation, then quickly walked to the door of her room and took the initiative to open it:
"Please come in..."
After getting Donna's permission, Qi Ji immediately walked into her room and at the same time expanded his own perception field, completely covering the entire tree house.
Sure enough, a large pile of messy tools, materials and other large and small objects appeared in her perception field and vision at the same time. They were placed in different categories on a desk at the edge of the bedroom.
And in the center of the desk, in an area surrounded by miscellaneous objects, there is a strangely shaped instrument that looks 70% similar to some of the equipment in the playground.
Obviously, this is a "prototype" of those devices.
=========================
I just happened to be writing the paragraph where inspiration came to me today, so there should be two chapters, but the second chapter will be a little later.
Chapter 343 Retrospective Reconstruction of Reality (Part )
Didn't make it to twelve o'clock... This chapter counts as the update on the 6th.
=========================
"Oh, this is the prototype I tried to make."
Seeing Qi Ji's eyes resting on the crude machine, Donna hurriedly took the initiative to explain, and at the same time quickly stepped forward to the desk, and quickly fiddled with the prototype with both hands:
"Look, this is its core component..."
As she spoke, she frantically used a crowbar to pry open the outer shell of the machine base - due to limited conditions, Donna did not use screws or rivets to fix it, but simply used tape to stick several pieces of board together - and the internal structure was exposed.
There was no need for Donna to do anything. Qi Ji had already scanned the instrument inside and out through his perception. At this time, Qi Ji knew her own creation better than Donna.
After opening the machine's shell, Donna pointed excitedly at the structure inside which was made up of glass bottles, metal sheets, and wooden blocks, and introduced it to Qi Ji in detail:
"I use two conical glass bottles to store different solutions, seal them with two corks, and punch holes in the corks. This way, I can ensure that there will be no leakage and -"
"How did you discover that this structure can generate special energy?"
Qi Ji's expression remained unchanged as he interrupted Donna's enthusiastic explanation.
She had no interest in the principle and production method of this device. To put it simply, it was just a primary battery connected to a simple mechanical relay bell.
What really matters is how Donna realized all this, especially...
How did she know that when the galvanic battery circuit was closed, some kind of energy would be generated?
After all, the only phenomenon visible to the naked eye in this "experiment" is the precipitation of some gas or solid near the electrodes.
The current and voltage in the circuit are so small that they can only light up an incandescent bulb at most, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
There are no ammeters in this world. How does Donna know that there are other phenomena besides precipitation?
"Well, this was actually due to an accident..."
Hearing Qi Ji's question, Donna seemed a little embarrassed for some reason, like a child whose boasting was ruthlessly exposed. She scratched her cheek with her fingers and her voice became much quieter:
"At first, I thought they were just going to emit particles, but..."
As she spoke, she turned around and rummaged through the shelf on the table, taking out a few items.
Two conical flasks containing solutions of different colors, a thick iron wire bent into a "U" shape, a thin glass tube that is also in a "U" shape, and two pieces of metal foil of different colors.
Donna skillfully attached two pieces of metal to the two ends of the U-shaped wire and then inserted each into a bottle of solution.
Then fill the U-shaped glass tube with solution to connect the two conical flasks.
After all this is done, the metal sheet at one end is slowly eroded and dissolved, while the surface of the metal sheet at the other end slowly condenses into rough, metallic particles.
"Like this. I thought it was just a device that would slowly transfer a piece of metal from one end to the other, but one time I accidentally put a little piece of tinfoil on the wire, and then..."
As she spoke, she picked up a fingernail-sized piece of tinfoil from the table and gently placed it in the middle of the wire.
"brush--"
In an instant, a bright orange light flashed, and a small hole was burned in the tinfoil.
"This made me realize that this device... can actually generate a special kind of energy, an energy that is not strong, but has a very rapid effect..."
Donna took off the foil:
"Also, a long time ago, I accidentally came across an old book about the study of the phenomenon of 'lightning' in the library. It described several characteristics of lightning, which I felt were very similar.
"So I tried to connect 'lightning' with this energy, which led to my subsequent attempts."
"Skip the Voltaic cell and go straight to the Daniel cell..."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Qi Ji frowned slightly.
Based on Donna's description, she realized that Donna actually didn't know the electrochemical principles behind all these phenomena, and didn't even have much basic knowledge of electricity. She just discovered this phenomenon by chance.
The problem is that there are too many "coincidences".
I happened to mix two metals, two solutions, and accidentally added a low-melting-point conductor to the circuit. I also happened to read a research paper on the electrical effects in nature in the library.
The most important coincidence is:
The above series of coincidences just happened to Donna, a girl who was smart, had a strong curiosity about new knowledge, had an exploratory spirit, often spent time in the library, and had a lot of free time to do all kinds of things.
If any of these "coincidences" went wrong, this invention would never have come into being.
This is not to say that coincidences cannot occur. After all, reality is not a statistical model, and we cannot treat low-probability events as impossible things.
In fact, many important inventions and discoveries started from "coincidences" and "accidents".
However, in real history, this kind of "coincidence" is more of an inspiration. Even if it does not happen, with the accumulation of time and the research of generations, it can usually open up the links and reap results.
Things like Donna's invention of the maze game machine were entirely based on a series of extremely low-probability coincidences, each linked together and leaving no room for error.
Coincidence is not a problem.
Too many coincidences...
That becomes a problem.
"Have you encountered anything unusual recently?"
Qi Ji asked casually, at the same time calling upon all his senses to concentrate on scanning the tree house and Donna's bedroom.
Qi Ji's perception is so strong that it can easily cover an entire city and be aware of every slight movement within a radius of more than ten miles. Now, all of it is concentrated in this tiny space.
At this moment, all traces inside the tree house "reported" all the information to Qi Ji like a surrendered captured spy.
"There is nothing unusual..."
As a result, there is neither interference from external supernatural forces - spirituality or divinity - nor deliberate guidance at the physical level in this tree house.
Including Donna herself, there was no sign of any tampering, either physically or mentally.
everything is normal.
"So... is it really just a coincidence? Is it really Donna's luck?"
Qi Ji choked and found it difficult to accept such a conclusion for a moment. Her intuition told her that this was too unbelievable no matter how you look at it.
"Unusual things?" Donna scratched her head in embarrassment. "I feel that every second since I met you... is 'unusual' to me."
Qi Ji was slightly stunned and realized that the question he just asked was indeed a bit stupid.
"Let's check the situation on campus again. If we still can't find anything unusual, then we can only temporarily admit that Donna is really the Chosen One... Uh, wait!"
Sighing helplessly, Qi Ji was about to leave the tree house in the secret independent space and return to the real world to expand his perception field to the entire Imperial National University, when he suddenly remembered something.
