Chapter 8: Gifts in the Diary
In the "Preface", Martian Kerot clearly told that graphene memory is an important "gift" to the descendants of the Mayans. As the lucky one to get this "gift", it depends on future research and cracking. Professor Du Yuesheng was powerless to crack what was hidden in the "gift", so he could only leave it to the electronics expert Professor Lin Sen and his team to complete it. As for Professor Du Yuesheng, the only task now is to translate the Diary of Kerot as soon as possible to see if he could discover unknown secrets in the "gift" of the Martians. In any case, don't let this "gift" be buried forever.

The diary starts at the age of 35 - based on the Mars calendar, corresponding to the Earth calendar, the year when the diary begins to record is 796 AD.
The day on Mars is 39 minutes and 35.244 seconds longer than the day on Earth, and the two balls rotate basically the same. The year on Mars has 668.5907 Martian days, so the Martian calendar is 24 months, which corresponds to the 24 solar terms on Earth. Four weeks per month and seven days per week, which is the same as the Earth. Based on this, it is estimated that the date when the diary starts is the vernal equinox of the 24 solar terms on Earth, and it is determined as March 21.
On March 21, 796, Kerot, who had just turned 35, was selected to the Mars Alliance School, the most famous school on Mars, and began his journey to study.
According to the description in the diary, the Mars Alliance School is located in the Arctic Pole of Mars, with mountains on one side and water on three sides. The climate is warm, the four seasons are like spring and the scenery is pleasant. This day is the season when spring is in full bloom.
As soon as you enter the campus, you will see a large flower bed, which is full of beautiful flowers, colorful and fragrant, making you feel refreshed.
Walking forward, at first glance, there is a large circular square in front of it, and there are many unknown trees hanging on it. It is surrounded by red, white and yellow flowers. It is said that the square is a place for students to relax and move. There are several tall and straight ancient trees in the school that soar into the sky, attracting attention.
The school also has artificially built strange mountains and stones, small bridges and flowing water, and beautiful scenery like poetry and paintings. The school building is very distinctive. The teaching building is a medieval Gothic building on Earth. It has eight floors high. A three-story bell tower is raised above the eight floors. There is also a tall spire on the top of the tower. It is the tallest building in the school. Not far from the teaching building is the classroom. The classroom building is also remarkable. It is a four-story building with geometric shapes with technological elements.
Of course, the school also has a dormitory building for students, ensuring that every student studying has a room. What is quite attractive is the various Mayan decorative patterns on the school walls, including historical stories, famous quotes, technological totems, flowers, plants, birds and beasts, which are full of campus culture. The most beautiful scenery is the more than a dozen buildings similar to the golden tower surrounding it, which looks particularly eye-catching under the sunlight.
The Mars Alliance School belongs to the Mars Alliance, which is not affiliated with a certain ethnic group. The Mars Alliance is commonly referred to as the United Nations of Mars, but it is essentially different from the United Nations on Earth. The Mars Alliance is the alliance of all ethnic groups on Mars. It is the most universal, representative and authoritative general political international organization on Mars.
To join the Mars Alliance, the population of your ethnic group must reach the number of 100,000, which does not involve various countries and sovereignty. It is quite difficult to enter the Mars Alliance school. It must be the best among the ethnic groups. It also needs to be tested by the Mars Alliance school and survive the fittest. Those who enter the school should be the top ones among the Mars people and talents.
Kerot is a talent and the most naughty of the three brothers - he is the son of Keroka, the leader of the Keroga clan. Keroka has three sons, the eldest, Kerowan, the second, Kerot, and Kerot are the third. From the naming, it can be seen that Keroka hopes that the eldest is literary, knowledgeable, the second, the second, has the style of a military general, and can charge on the battlefield. As for the third, because he looks different, is particularly strong, adorable, and has a sweet mouth, he has become his father's treasure.
This third brother is very naughty, willful, and often causes trouble. Because he grew up on Earth and lacks maternal love, Kairoka feels indebted, so he spoils him and follows him. Kairoka hopes that Kairoka, the baby son, can stay with him all the time. But this third brother is particularly spiritual and intelligent. In addition to his low brain ability, he surpasses his two brothers in both civil and military aspects. This time, the Mars Alliance School's global enrollment, Kairoka is indeed seriously unqualified in brain ability, but his other assessments are unexpectedly excellent. With the sponsorship of the director Fairlaya, he was very lucky to be admitted to the school to study, but his two brothers failed.

Kerot's diary is indeed very literary. On March 21 alone, this diary of the school was very colorful, and it wrote thousands of words in a flowing way, bringing the Mayan writing art to the extreme. Professor Du Yuesheng shook his head and said, "It's a pity that you are not a writer."
The first diary took Professor Du Yuesheng more than a day to translate. Looking at more than 200 years and nearly 140,000 diaries, based on the translation progress of the first day, it would be absolutely impossible for Professor Du Yuesheng to complete this task alone in his lifetime. He spent more than half a month classifying and packing the diaries one by one by year, copying more than 200 storage partitions, and assigned his colleagues and students to translate together to complete the task together.
For more than 200 years, Kerot's diary has a huge content, involving the humanities, geography, customs and customs of Mars. It also records the trivial matters and major events of the Martians, and also tells the attention-giving historical events such as the Martian war, especially Kerot's love story. After reading it, it makes people burst into tears. It can be called a love classic among the Martians.
After the translation of Kerot's diary, this Mayan diary has a high literary ornamental value and historical research value for Mars and Martians. Therefore, after Professor Du Yuesheng compiled Kerot's diary into "The Centennial History of Mars" and published it, it was quite welcomed by readers.
