Chapter 701: Chapter 178: Xu Lin Fabricates Oracle Bone Script, Second Visit to Ning Yuhuan’s Home (Part 2)

Chi Linyue also didn’t know what Xu Lin was busy with.

Ning Yuhuan wasn’t quite sure either.

Because Ning Yuhuan wouldn’t enter Xu Lin’s room when he was busy, to avoid disturbing him.

On the other side.

After returning home, Xu Lin set out to continue developing his code.

These were the last three languages, the toughest challenge for Xu Lin here.

After the Brain Domain Development, Xu Lin’s thinking speed became faster, and his ability to think became stronger.

Naturally, the level of his code was higher as well.

The only problem was that Xu Lin’s typing speed couldn’t keep up; it was as fast as before, but couldn’t be any quicker unless he had four hands.

For these three languages, Xu Lin used the most challenging Chinese characters.

Not only was the text itself obscure and tricky, but Xu Lin also directly used Oracle bone script.

What’s more, Xu Lin didn’t even use existing Oracle bone script.

Are there Oracle bone script characters for every Chinese character?

Of course not.

In fact, there are only about four thousand Oracle bone script characters, while there are roughly a hundred thousand Chinese characters.

Many Chinese characters don’t have Oracle bone script forms; they were created by the ancients over long stretches of time.

For instance, the character in Wu Zhao, this was a new character created at the direction of Empress Wu Zetian.

So, Oracle bone script is far less abundant than later Chinese characters.

However, this didn’t stop Xu Lin, because he could mimic and create his own Oracle bone script.

The Oracle bone script characters created by Xu Lin couldn’t be inputted into a computer, as the characters themselves didn’t exist.

Xu Lin developed a standalone Oracle bone script input method.

So, in two days, Xu Lin created a thousand non-existent Oracle bone script characters, achieving a seamless level compared to real Oracle bone script.

If this had been before today, Xu Lin certainly wouldn’t have been able to create them, but now that his brain has been developed, he can create special symbol patterns through imagination and deduction.

Aren’t Oracle bone script just special symbols?

Not exaggerating to say, if Xu Lin released these thousand Oracle bone script characters, it would surely cause a stir in the archaeological world.

How did you get these thousand Oracle bone script characters?

But Xu Lin didn’t just make things up.

After developing his brain, Xu Lin was able to reference existing Oracle bone script libraries, understand the rules for forming Oracle bone script, and then trace back by evolving Chinese characters into Oracle bone script, starting from traditional characters.

It must start from traditional characters.

Because the gap with simplified characters is too large, back then a series of Chinese character simplification projects were implemented by the state to eliminate illiteracy. Strictly speaking, simplified characters aren’t considered a natural evolution of Chinese characters.

So, Xu Lin started from traditional characters, traced back through regular script, clerical script, small seal script, and bronze script to finally reach Oracle bone script.

He traced back one character at a time, but Xu Lin could focus on four things at once, enabling him to trace back four characters simultaneously.

With enhanced thinking speed and improved thinking ability, Xu Lin could deduce four Oracle bone script characters in three to four minutes.

Hmm.

To be exact, he made it up. Many Chinese characters only appeared later, so where would they get Oracle bone script from?

Xu Lin currently has a powerful brain capability, allowing him to easily accomplish these tasks.

So, if Xu Lin were to release these thousand Oracle bone script characters, besides the lack of specific media for Oracle bone script, like turtle shells and animal bones, the archaeology field might truly question reality.

Xu Lin’s Oracle bone script input method only includes these thousand made-up Oracle bone script characters.

Without these two sets of resources, others couldn’t even type the code.

The last three languages were done using a thousand made-up Oracle bone script characters and a specific Oracle bone script input method.

Another week passed in the blink of an eye.

Time entered early August, Xu Lin completed the last three languages.

However, he didn’t publish them; they were his secret core programming.

"The coding work is finally done!"

Xu Lin felt a sense of relief, his whole body light and relaxed.

From late May until now, early August, more than two months, although he wasn’t working on this every single day, he spent most days busy with it, so it took a lot of effort, truly exhausting his heart and soul.

Today is Tuesday.

In the evening, waiting for Ning Yuhuan to come home from work.

"I’ve been resting recently. Where do you want to go play?"

Xu Lin said, "I’ve been too busy lately, haven’t spent much time with you."

"Really?" Ning Yuhuan was very much looking forward to it.

"Of course it’s true, and I need to relax a bit too."

"Actually, I want to go home and stay there for a few days." Ning Yuhuan was homesick.

"Then let’s go back together. I haven’t seen Suisui and An’an for half a year."

Xu Lin was feeling a bit hungry, "Is there any pickled string beans left at home?"

"Yes! My mom also pickled sauerkraut, pickled ginger, and pickled taro stalks!"

"I know the first two, what is pickled taro stalks?"

"It’s the stems and leaves of taro!"

"Can they be pickled?"

Xu Lin had never heard of it.

"Yes, and they’re delicious!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Yuhuan became enthusiastic, explaining that pickled taro stalks are made by pickling the stems and leaves of taro with salt fermentation over time, resulting in a very good taste.

"I see."

After listening to all this, Xu Lin was truly tempted, having had a lot of delicacies, occasionally trying something different, like some refreshing foods.

"Honey, are you coming back with me?"

"Of course, we’ll go back together. I need to relax a bit recently."

"Yeah!"

On Wednesday, Xu Lin visited the set of Miss Maybach’s show.

It had been a while since Xu Lin last visited, and he was treated to good food and drinks.

Additionally, this crew estimated that it would be done in about two months; as for the post-production work, that would be their responsibility.
