Die on Mars - Chapter 202
c202 Day 323 (2) God of All Things Zhufeng
It took Tang Yue two seconds to remember what mad cow disease was. It was not a zoonotic disease at all. Humans were basically not infected with mad cow disease, but infected cattle would suffer from fibrosis of brain tissue, eventually leading to insanity, dementia and death—— Tang Yue chewed this sentence several times, but still felt that the cat was secretly scolding him for being a stupid cow without a brain.
“I suspect you are scolding me, but I can’t find any evidence.”
“I’m not scolding you.” The old cat said, “Think about it carefully, does it sound romantic to become a traveler chasing wind and sand, wandering on a huge desert planet? I will record your deeds. Come down, after hundreds of millions of years, you will become a god worshiped by intelligent creatures on Mars, just like Tolkien said… ‘History became legend, legend became myth’, history became legend, legend became myth. myth.”
“Is it the Mars Bodhisattva again?” Tang Yue stood under the leaden sky, “The fat cat shaman is offering sacrifices.”
“No.” The old cat spat out a string of obscure words, as if he was chanting a spell, “It’s Creutzfeldt Jacob Dizis Persent.”
Tang Yue was stunned for a moment, what is this?
“Which bird language are you speaking of?”
“It is the sacrificial language of the Orani tribe in Ecuador, South America. They once lived in dense tropical jungles and made a living by hunting. The people of this tribe believed in animism and called the gods Kreutzfeldt. “The old cat said, “Kreuzfeldt Jacob Dizis Persent means ‘God of All Things, Wind Chaser’.”
Tang Yue was stunned for a moment, quite surprised, “Have you done research on this thing?”
A minority tribe in a South American country, a language that has long since disappeared, can an old cat still learn it?
Can Xuexue Douchang’s talent for cross talk be highlighted here?
For example, how about naming a dish in the language of a primitive tribe in the jungles of South America? Tang Yue imagined the old cat wearing a robe, two old Beijing cloth shoes, colorful peacock feathers on his head, and war patterns on his face. He cleared his throat, said hello to the audience, and then started chattering: Steaming Jaguar, steamed sun bear, steamed eight-treasure anteater, glutinous rice-stuffed viper, roasted anaconda, roasted reticulated python, roasted peccary, stir-fried forest musk deer, stir-fried flying fox, stir-fried Spanish…
“I have no research on the teachings of primitive people. This is just what I discovered when I was sorting out the results of anthropological research. You have to know that there is nothing new under the sun. This kind of simple polytheism and animism are actually the same in nature. It’s more or less the same, whether it’s in Ecuador or Namibia.” The old cat talked eloquently.
Tang Yue nodded slowly.
When discussing anthropological issues on Mars, he always felt that he was studying other races that had nothing to do with him. This feeling of detachment was not the first time he had experienced this. Long-term alien life would gradually alienate human psychology.
When the Earth and the expedition team were still there, Kunlun Station was a shrunken human society. Although the mission was long, the crew could still maintain a normal mental state. However, after the Earth disappeared, only Tang Yue was left on Mars. As a human being, The social animal has lost the social environment on which he depends.
Tang Yue was very worried about this change.
If he can really survive alone on Mars for ten years, it’s hard to say what will survive ten years later.
“…Tang…Tang Yue? Mr. Cat? Call Kunlun Station…can you hear me?”
“Can you hear me, girl, are you out of the no-signal zone?” Tang Yue subconsciously raised his head. If he could receive Ophiopogon japonicus’s signal, it meant that the United Space Station had flown above the horizon.
If his eyesight was strong enough, he should be able to see the United Space Station passing overhead.
Maidong heard Tang Yue’s voice, and Tang Yue also heard Maidong’s voice, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
“I have left the no-signal zone and am eating today’s meal.”
In the Crystal cabin, there are really limited things that Maidong can do. In addition to eating and sleeping, besides sleeping and eating, she actually wants to do something, but the Crystal cabin is currently just a soda can flying without power, and almost everything has been lost. Function, while Ophiopogon japonicus is just a girl floating in a can, holding two compressed biscuits in her hands.
The Joint Space Station also has four surviving solar panels. These four panels are the last source of energy, barely supporting the work of the computer and communication systems.
Ophiopogon japonicus broke the compressed biscuit into seven parts, and the broken biscuits floated in mid-air.
She used to eat like this – letting food and drinks float freely in the air, and then sucking the food into her mouth like a big fish eating a small fish. This was what the veterans in the Orion mission crew taught her, and to the veterans, Eating is just a game. On the space station, you can push bread far away with just a little force. They often feed each other by pushing it back and forth. Lao Zheng and Lao Tang even like to play such a trick – Lao Zheng opens his mouth. Floating at the end of the cabin, Lao Tang hits the chocolate ball with a French stick. If the chocolate can be hit into Lao Zheng’s mouth, he will score points.
Lao Wang always emphasizes that doing so will produce food residue! This creates tiny food particles floating around! Food debris can clog ventilation ducts!
Of course no one paid any attention to him.
In the end, Lao Wang also came off the field in person. He scored the highest score and successfully broke the record.
“Are you taking soil? Tang Yue?”
“Yes.” Tang Yue said, “I took about two liters of dry soil today. If all these two liters of dry soil are made into fertilizer base…”
“It takes water.”
“I know that water is consumed. There is a ton of fresh water on board the Tianzhou cargo spacecraft. Our fresh water shortage problem will be greatly alleviated.” Tang Yue said that the Tianzhou 37 cargo spacecraft is undoubtedly their savior. They will provide food when they are hungry. If you’re thirsty, you’ll get a drink, if you’re sleepy, you’ll get a pillow, if you need anything, you’ll get anything. You can find everything on the Tianzhou spacecraft.
Looking back now, it is really a blessing to have someone in charge. You must know that Tianzhou 37 is only the first cargo spacecraft for the next phase of the Mars mission. If the earth does not disappear, then Tianzhou 38 and Tianzhou 39 will follow. , even the newly commissioned Orion 3 is about to embark on a journey.
The earth is gone, there is no father, no mother, no one to care about.
“Every tragic hero in history is a grandma who doesn’t care for her uncle. I am probably the same person, a survivor of the previous civilization and a forerunner of the next.” Tang Yue stood on the hillside rather tragically, looking into the distance. Desolate, “hundreds of millions of years from now, there will definitely be intelligent creatures standing here. He sighed: The great Lord Creutzfeldt Jacob Dizis Peshent stood here.” On the altar…”
“Tang Yue, what are you talking about?” Maidong frowned. She noticed this long and weird word, “Kreutz… Fe… Walter?”
“Kreuzfeldt Jacob Dizis Peshente.” Tang Yue said in a deep voice, “Can’t you understand? This is the sacrificial language of a tribe called the Huaorani in Ecuador. , which means the God of all things, the Wind Chaser.”
Maidong nodded thoughtfully, but within a moment, she said again, “I seem to have heard this word somewhere.”
Tang Yue was surprised.
The old cat only knows the language of a primitive tribe in Ecuador, South America. After all, it is a robot and has a photographic memory. Have you, an agriculturist, also studied primitive religions?
“I haven’t studied anthropology, and I don’t know anything about the primitive tribes of Ecuador.” Maidong said, “But… this is obviously an English phrase, right? Crotzfeldt Jacob Dizis· Pei Shen Te should be the transliteration of the English phrase Kreuzfeldt-Jacob disease patient. I have seen it before when compiling the history of medicine.”
Tang Yue was stunned. He carefully recalled the pronunciation several times and found that Maidong’s statement seemed to be correct.
“What does that word mean?”
“Meaning ‘Crozfeldt-Jacob disease patient’.”
Tang Yue was stunned.
patient?
Isn’t it said that the God of all things, the Wind Chaser?
“What is Crotzfeldt-Jacob disease?”
Maidong hesitated for a few seconds.
“People have mad cow disease.”
