He picked up the book casually and flipped through it.
The book was published in 275 of the Federal Calendar, about five hundred years ago.
This book is not an ancient book that has been preserved for 500 years, but a photocopy of the original book.
The first page of the book is the preface, written by the author.
The author is a biology professor who works at Chenxi University.
He discovered a special 'exercise' method from District 1 in the incomplete ancient books left behind by the former Federation, which was called 'martial arts'.
These ancient books recording martial arts had serious flaws. At first, he thought that this method was just as nonsense as those ancient alchemical potions.
But in an accidental experiment, he discovered that the "breathing method" described in this method can really increase people's physical fitness to a certain extent, achieve the effects of strengthening the body and prolonging life.
So he began to study this method in depth, but most of the ancient books in his hands were incomplete, and even the first part describing the breathing method was incomplete.
He led the team and put all his efforts into this research while taking on corporate projects to make money.
The author said in the book that he invested tens of millions of dollars in this project and was obsessed with it day and night. For this reason, his wife divorced him, his children disowned him, and even many of his favorite students were rejected because of their high grades.
For intense work, choose to find another mentor.
But even so, he still insisted on advancing the project.
He vaguely saw the mystery of human life and the truth of the universe in this project.
These are worthy of his tireless pursuit.
Most of the entire preface is about the author describing the hardships of research, as if a taciturn and lonely old man is nagging to the 'audience' across the pages of the book.
This audience may be thousands of kilometers apart or centuries apart.
It wasn't until the end that the author casually mentioned the purpose of writing this book, 'to summarize and sort out the information about the martial arts in the first area collected over the years, and to make a simple review.'
He Ao flipped through the contents of the books at the back.
This book is divided into three chapters. Based on the incomplete ancient books he collected, the author briefly describes the first area of martial arts in his understanding.
Chapter 1 is the origin of martial arts
He believed that the martial arts in District 1 was something that had been passed down for a long time at least in District 1, even before the Cataclysm.
The reason is also very simple. The language logic of all ancient books is slightly different from the language logic of the first district in the original federal period that he researched.
The first area uses ideograms that evolved from hieroglyphs. Although the characters remain unchanged, the way people speak in different eras will change. Therefore, the author determines that these ancient books were not written in the era of the original federal first area, but in the era of the original federal area.
An earlier era.
However, although the language logic is different, the text remains unchanged. The author relies on the District 1 texts collected by the survivors of the District 1, and through constant experiments, he made a rough guessing table of meanings.
Among them, there are almost one or two hundred commonly used words and their explanations in ancient books. This list was also attached to the book.
He Ao turned to the appendix at the back, turned on his super memory and wrote down the list.
The content of the second chapter is speculation on the complete martial arts system.
The author believes that the martial arts in the first area is an extremely complex practice system, which includes a variety of different practice methods. Some martial arts practices to the end can even become otherworldly and become legendary beings like "angels"
.
But such 'practice' was not possible before the Catastrophe. Only after the Catastrophe was the air filled with some kind of 'mysterious energy' that could sustain people's powerful power.
This involves a problem. The martial arts inheritance in the first area may be earlier than the Cataclysm. People cannot create something out of nothing that can be fully practiced after the Cataclysm and has a strict logical system.
The author is unable to analyze the specific background of this, and can only guess that before the catastrophe, there was already some kind of "energy" environment in the first area similar to that after the catastrophe.
And this environment may be different from the current environment of the Cataclysm, because the Cataclysm gave birth to things that the martial arts system has never mentioned.
Seeing this, I was stunned.
Ordinary people may think that the things mentioned here that are not mentioned in martial arts are talking about strange beasts, but He Ao is keenly aware that the author of this book may be talking about the 'talent sequence' here.
He Ao once read the notes of the person who speculated that the talent sequence was cyclical. That person seemed to have a deeper connection with the founders of the Federation. For example, it was obvious that he knew the founder of Chenxi City and the first mayor.
Ellenska.
It is even possible that that person himself was the founder of the Federation. According to federal documents, some of the founders of the Federation came by boat from the First District. It can be said that the new order and civilization of the Federation were influenced by the First District.
relatively large impact.
Since the founder of the Federation has a deep relationship with the First District, if the talent sequence has appeared long ago, then judging from the time span in which martial arts has formed a complete system, the First District must have figured out certain rules, and there is no need to explore them from scratch.
But looking at the clues recorded in the handbook, it seems that all the rules were discovered from scratch.
So the talent sequence is most likely a unique product after the cataclysm?
He Ao was stunned when he thought of this.
If the talent sequence is bound to the Cataclysm, what is the main world going through now?
There are also a large number of ‘talents’ that are exactly the same as the talent sequence in the main world.
Perhaps it is necessary to collect detailed information on the Cataclysm.
Hooray thought for a moment,
There is currently very little information about the Cataclysm and the original federation on the Internet, and it seems that it has been deliberately erased by some force.
You can let Eve collect it first.
It is a pity that the Nolanka Group was established too short, less than a hundred years ago. Kaya City was also a new city established by the Federation 400 years later, so it has not been exposed to those hidden histories.
Morningside City has a long history, and now that Christos is the mayor, you can find an opportunity to ask him to collect some secret historical information.
He Ao suppressed the doubts in his heart for the time being. The changes in the main world have been going on for at least more than ten years. At present, it seems that they will continue to go on. There is no rush in the next day or two.
However, after this mission is over, you can use your identity as the deputy minister of the overseas department to inquire about relevant information from the senior management of the institute. These people have been in contact with the ruins for so long, so they probably know something.
The cataclysm had a huge impact on the world. Judging from the sporadic records that He Ao saw, the cataclysm almost completely destroyed prehistoric human civilization and even left no records.
After a period of fighting against alien beasts and being on the verge of destruction, mankind re-established civilization under the leadership of District One.
He returned his attention to the book and turned to the third and final chapter.
This chapter is the author's private property.
But when he saw the content inside, He Ao frowned slightly.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
There was a power outage at home. After working for a long time, I found that the gate tripped. It tripped, but it didn't trip completely. It was so desperate on such a hot day. Air conditioning is really a great invention.
It's too late today. There will be an extra update tomorrow. Everyone should go to bed early.
