Darkness is Coming: Chapter 435 Yarenyu thanks Heiyan Tongruo for the reward
His orders were repeatedly interrupted by Liu Yuanzhou, but Yang Xiaoqian was not at all unhappy.
First, it was because Yang Xiaoqian knew that he actually had no right to command, and it was not a wise move to arbitrarily order before asking the chairman for instructions. Liu Yuanzhou repeatedly denied Yang Xiaoqian, not necessarily correcting his mistakes. Second, it was because the judgment given by Liu Yuanzhou made Yang Xiaoqian excited.
The quadruped demihuman analysis report submitted by the Combat Research Office detailed the humanoid characteristics of this creature. The most intuitive manifestations are: quadruped demihumans are sexual reproduction creatures, have a class system, and are divided into different arms in the process of combat. And carry out a clear division of labor, have a certain degree of wisdom, and have a systematic language as a communication tool.
Ouyang added a personal opinion below the analysis report, suggesting that, on the premise of not jeopardizing the ecological balance of the earth, domestication and breeding of quadruped demi-humans will make quadruped demi-humans become slaves in the new era, which can create a difficult situation for China and even all human beings. estimated wealth.
Yang Xiaoqian very much agrees with this proposal, but there is a problem that cannot be solved for the time being: the language barrier.
The quadruped demi-humans are indeed intelligent, and with the improvement of the class level, from the lowest-grade cannon fodder, to the warriors with hard armor, to the knights riding birds and the assassins with stealth ability, the degree of wisdom is obvious. Ascension, but none of the hundreds of tetrapods captured are smart enough to learn and understand human language—at least not yet.
Yes, slaves do not need to be literate and hyphenated. As long as they can understand the commands given by their masters, they can create value for their masters. Professional trainers can train cats and dogs to be obedient and sensible, and they can naturally train four-legged subhumans. Trained to be obedient slaves.
However, this method of domestication is too inefficient, and simple labor cannot create satisfactory value. Now is not the colonial era in which human power is the main production capacity, but the mechanical era of comprehensive industrialization. A machine can easily surpass the The total labor productivity of a hundred tetrapods is lower than the cost of raising and managing tetrapods. Not to mention, the machine will not resist, and it is more reassuring than a four-legged demihuman, a machine that has no individual mind and always serves its master faithfully.
In this comparison, the quadrupeds, as labor slaves who simply rely on labor to create benefits for their masters, do not have a competitive advantage and have no meaning at all. If you want to make money on the quadruped demihumans, you have to grasp their true characteristics and find a new way to use slaves.
For example, sending a cheap servant to each household frees the productivity of housewives from heavy housework; for example, sending a group of deliverymen to the logistics industry who can endure hardships without expecting anything in return, Make breakthroughs in the logistics and transportation industry; for example, to send those stubborn sweatshops that they need most, cheap slaves that can be squeezed to death...
There are many ways to , but there is no way around the language problem. You can't expect a humanoid creature who can't understand human speech to do some work that can only be done by humans.
Even if domestic linguists can overcome this difficulty, it will definitely take a long time. Therefore, Yang Xiaoqian paid little attention to this matter and did not pay much attention to it.
but now! A catalyst to speed up the reaction process has appeared!
If the outsider inside the surgery can speak the language of the quadruped, then the time it takes to domesticate the quadruped can be greatly shortened.
Under the guidance of the world's top masters, it is not too difficult for a human to learn another human's language. As long as there is a qualified translator, the work of inverting the language system of the quadrupeds will become extremely easy. In this way, the staff responsible for domesticating the quadrupeds will soon be able to find a way to communicate with the quadrupeds. Even if the tetrapods cannot learn human language in a short period of time, it is not difficult for them to understand human language and learn to follow some simple instructions.
This means not only a steady stream of wealth, but also the first real proof of the concept of "turning danger into opportunity".
This is very important, even more important than the wealth created by the tetrapods itself, it can benefit the people and make people realize that the "disaster" and "crisis" bring more than destruction and destruction to the world.
is really exciting news. Yang Xiaoqian looked at Liu Yuanzhou on the screen and couldn't help but ask for confirmation.
"Are you sure? Don't need to send it to the combat research room to confirm?"
Liu Yuanzhou reported two data: "The coincidence rate of monosyllabic words is 94%, and the coincidence rate of polysyllabic words is 82%."
After receiving the order of the joint command, the ground troops cooperated with the hunting team to capture a total of 168 quadruped demihumans, and put them in groups of two in a prisoner of war camp. The reason for the pairing is to allow them to communicate with each other, and the conversations of each pair of quadrupeds were recorded throughout, and each recording was used by the researchers as a reference.
Yang Xiaoqian guessed that after the outsider spoke, Liu Yuanzhou had already connected to the database of the combat research room, called up all the recordings and compared them one by one. With Liu Yuanzhou's unimaginably powerful computing power, he would soon be able to come up with a conclusive result. As a result, his judgment is more reliable than the combination of precision instruments and professionals.
Therefore, sending the recording to the combat research room for the scientific team to compare the soundtracks is just superfluous, but since Liu Yuanzhou has solved the mystery, there is another more direct way to confirm it.
Yang Xiaoqian turned his head to look at the head of the scientific research team, and said, "Send someone to the prisoner of war camp, bring a quadruped demihuman, and send him to the operating room after sterilizing his body to see if our guests will speak to the quadruped demihuman. ."
The person in charge of the scientific research team was hesitant. He glanced at the screen next to him, and whispered, "This...isn't it too dangerous? The quadruped demihumans immediately attacked our soldiers after they emerged from the crack, which means that the quadruped demihumans immediately attacked our soldiers. Humans are hostile to humans."
Yang Xiaoqian also looked at Chairman Wen on the screen, and said in a tone of request: "With me and Luo Yingnan there, there will be absolutely no accidents."
Chairman Wen nodded: "You might as well give it a try, but handle it with care."
The chairman gave an order, and the head of the scientific staff team had no reason to hesitate, and immediately contacted the combat research room. Colonel Ge personally ordered troops and sent a team of elites to the prisoner of war camp to **** the quadruped demihumans.
Not long after, a team of warriors walked into the tent with a quadruped demihuman with both hands and feet in chains. This quadrupedal demihuman not only had hard armor growing around his body, but also had a cockscomb-like sarcoid on his forehead. This bright red sarcoma is a symbol of nobility among the Zuya people.
