"A human myth?"
Robin obviously didn't understand what Lorenzo meant, and Joey on the side also looked at him with confusion. In their opinion, this was just a strange warehouse that stored worthless things.
Myths themselves are even more difficult to understand. They are stories that tell mysterious and magnificent stories, but when did myths become connected with mortals
“Think of it differently.”
Lorenzo looked at everyone with disdain, as if he was looking down on their intelligence, and then came to the counter on the other side, which was decorated with gorgeous clothes. But inside was an ancient stone slab with stick figures of wild beasts drawn on it, but there were more scratches on it.
"Do you know those scholars' analysis of human history?"
Lorenzo did not give the audience a chance to answer, he asked and answered his own questions.
“Human history started from scratch, like a great building, built one cornerstone after another, rather than emerging out of thin air.”
"So how does one count the prey one hunts in an age before numbers?"
Lorenzo stared at the stone slab behind the glass, as if he had returned to a distant past.
"He carved images of his prey on the slate until one day he decided it was too much trouble and replaced the intricate pattern with a single scratch."
The sound was very light, but it was like thunder in the daytime.
A scratch replaced everything complicated.
“This is the prototype of digital technology, a qualitative change from zero to one… a great moment worth recording.”
The expressions of Robin and Joey changed slightly, as if they were touched by Lorenzo's plain words, but they still seemed unable to actually feel that great moment, and there was a hint of hesitation on their faces.
"For example, this."
Lorenzo then picked up the wooden wheel on the other side.
"That was one of the great moments? Instead of carrying stuff, we use wheels?"
Robin said, trying to follow Lorenzo's thoughts, but Lorenzo shook his head.
"You only see the surface, but its real significance is the increase in energy efficiency," Lorenzo said. "With the same amount of energy, we can transport more objects farther through wheels. This is the origin of all transportation."
The robin was slightly shocked, and he began to understand what Lorenzo wanted to express.
"Merlin is really good, he's a mad man of knowledge."
Lorenzo couldn't help but praise, then he picked up the scattered papers and continued.
"It is better to say that it is a 'carrier of information' rather than 'paper'. With it, we have defeated time. Human knowledge will no longer be lost with the death of an individual. It will continue to be passed down. Even time cannot kill it. They gather together layer by layer until they build a magnificent building."
"Look at it again!"
Lorenzo couldn't help but raise his voice. The abandoned warehouse was like a sacred temple at this moment. It was obviously a very common thing, but at this moment it became strange and solemn.
He casually picked up the heavy code and wiped off the dust on it. It was as heavy as a rock.
"A common Yngveg Codex, right?"
