"Oh? I'd like to hear the details! "Chen Xuan said hurriedly.
In fact, up until now, the work of deciphering the token was basically led by Xia Ruofei. Even seniors like Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha were used to letting Xia Ruofei make the decision.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "I believe that everyone has seen that this score is extremely simple. Basically, there are only two keys, seven notes, and a number 0 that seems to be the beat symbol. It stands to reason that such a simple score isn't enough to form a song."
Speaking up to this point, Xia Ruofei paused slightly and continued, "But in reality? Everyone has seen it with their own eyes. Not only did it form a song, but it also relied on such a simple score, and the simple humming of the tune was extremely beautiful … So, I think we can start from the simplest direction! First, find the correct score, and then consider whether factors such as the instrument will affect the song. "
"That makes sense …" Chen Xuan pondered for a moment and nodded, then asked, "How do we do it?"
"With the help of the music arrangement software!" Xia Ruofei said without hesitation, "According to our judgment, enter our score into the music arrangement software according to different situations, and generate several versions of the song. We can just listen to the results directly!"
"Good idea!" Chen Xuan said.
Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha looked at each other and smiled bitterly at the same time. They didn't know anything about music arrangement software. These few days, they felt like fools who didn't know anything.
Xia Ruofei directly took out his laptop from the Ring-Tu space. First, he paid for a professional music arrangement software. After installing it on the computer, he briefly studied it.
This kind of professional software generally didn't have a particularly good user experience, and it was still somewhat difficult to operate.
However, Xia Ruofei found a few video tutorials on the software's official website and watched them. Then, he actually tried to operate it. Soon, he had a basic understanding of how to use the software.
Xia Ruofei tried to compose a short piece of music, then smiled and said to Chen Xuan, "Brother Chen, you just mentioned the instrument problem. This software can simulate the sound of various instruments! From chimes to guqin, pipa … it has everything! "
"That's great!" Chen Xuan said with a smile, "Let's first confirm the song, then use the instrument simulation. We should be able to find the most correct version soon!"
"Then, I'll get to work!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile as he moved his shoulders and neck.
The next work was actually quite boring.
Which was to enter the score into the music arrangement software according to the number combination document.
Xia Ruofei first listed a few plans on the paper, mainly related to the different situations represented by negative numbers, and some minor adjustments. In short, they were all guesses that needed to be formed into music through the software. They had to listen to all of them to find the most suitable or the most correct one.
Of course, this didn't need to be simulated with a supercomputer, because the final list was only about twenty combinations.
Moreover, Xia Ruofei didn't need to enter more than twenty times. There were more than three thousand or four thousand number combinations each time. It was quite tiring to enter once. If he had to enter more than twenty times, it would be a bit unbearable.
There wouldn't be any physical problems, but it was too boring.
In fact, Xia Ruofei only entered each tune into the music arrangement software for the first time.
Then, he made a backup of this plan.
For the next twenty or so plans, he modified them based on this foundation.
Because most of these twenty combinations were actually the same, the areas that needed to be modified were different, but the proportion wasn't very high.
Of course, in general, the workload was still very large.
Xia Ruofei didn't finish this work for the entire afternoon.
Everyone went to the backyard for dinner, and then Xia Ruofei continued to work through the night.
It wasn't until the second half of the night that Xia Ruofei entered all twenty combinations into the music arrangement software.
He spent some more time checking and checking all of them again.
After confirming that there were no mistakes, the sky was already bright.
Xia Ruofei stayed up all night again.
Now, everyone's trust in Xia Ruofei was even higher. Last night, they didn't stay in Xia Ruofei's room the whole time. At nine o 'clock in the evening, they all left, leaving Xia Ruofei, Song Wei, and Ling Qingxue.
Of course, Xia Ruofei couldn't be sure if Mu Sheng, Liu Mansha, or even Chen Xuan really trusted him completely. He also couldn't rule out the possibility that they used their spiritual power to monitor him after returning to their rooms at night.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei spent the entire night typing in musical notation. She didn't even listen to a small part of it, just so she wouldn't be unable to explain it clearly.
In any case, Xia Ruofei didn't have any intention of monopolizing it.
If he wanted to listen to the effect, it was better to wait until everyone was present.
Song Wei and Ling Qingxue also went to bed in the second half of the night. In the morning, when Xia Ruofei finished entering all the combinations and stood up to stretch, the two of them woke up again.
Song Wei and Ling Qingxue felt sorry for Xia Ruofei. On the other hand, Xia Ruofei was happy and didn't look tired at all.
On the contrary, Xia Ruofei felt relieved after completing a task that didn't require much skill but was extremely tedious.
Moreover, he also couldn't wait to listen to it. What kind of song was it that it had to be hidden so tightly?
If he could find the right song, would he be able to discover a shocking secret?
Xia Ruofei let Ling Qingxue and Song Wei freshen up as soon as possible. He walked to the courtyard to stretch his body and breathe in the fresh air.
Most importantly, he knew that as long as he appeared in the courtyard, Mu Sheng, Liu Mansha, and the others would quickly come out.
As expected, just as Xia Ruofei stretched his limbs and was about to sit down at the stone table, Chen Xuan, Mu Sheng, and the others walked out of the room one after another.
"Good morning!" Xia Ruofei greeted them with a smile.
"Brother Xia, you've worked hard!" Chen Xuan smiled and asked, "You didn't sleep a wink last night?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. He said, "Once something is done, it can't be stopped. Might as well finish it in one go!"
"So, Brother Xia has already finished?" Mu Sheng asked.
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. He said, "Yes! I took all the possibilities involved in our discussion and formed different song scores. I entered them one by one into the software and generated more than 20 songs. As for the secret that we want to know, whether it's in these 20 songs, I'm not sure … "
"That's great!" Mu Sheng said happily. "Brother Xia, it's really been hard on you!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Actually, it's all repetitive work that doesn't require any skill. It mainly requires patience. It's not really hard …"
Mu Sheng deliberately said with a bitter face, "Brother Xia, we old guys don't know anything about the work that doesn't require any skill! After hearing what you said, we feel even more useless! "
"That's not what I meant …" Xia Ruofei explained, "It's very easy for Sect Leader Mu to learn these things. It's just that it's not necessary!"
In terms of learning ability, it would take Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha, who were at the middle stage of the Gold Core Realm, at most a few hours to master the basic knowledge of computer operation and learn how to use a piece of software. However, as Xia Ruofei said, they usually didn't need it at all, so it was naturally unnecessary. "Read books every day!"
Xia Ruofei continued, "I plan to listen to these songs now and skip breakfast. What do you think?"
"That's exactly what I want!" Mu Sheng said.
"I can't wait either!" Liu Mansha said with a smile.
Chen Xuan said concisely, "Agreed!"
For cultivators, eating three meals a day was more of a continuation of a habit. Their bodies had actually surpassed the scope of ordinary people, so they didn't need to eat every day.
In fact, gaining energy by eating food was a relatively low-level way. Cultivators absorbed the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth much more directly than eating food.
"Then it's settled!" Xia Ruofei said.
He directly called Wu Qiang and told him that he and the guests wouldn't eat breakfast today. In addition, there was something more important in the master's courtyard, so he asked him to tell everyone not to enter the courtyard.
Then, Xia Ruofei took everyone to the basement.
This siheyuan had a large basement, in which there was a very professional movie hall, which was basically equipped with a small cinema.
The sound system in the movie hall was very professional, so the effect was naturally much better than the sound system of the computer.
Xia Ruofei wanted to listen to more than 20 songs today, so the first thing that came to his mind was to go to the movie hall.
In addition to the good sound system, the soundproofing was also very good. Basically, once the door was closed, no sound could be heard from outside.
The group walked into the movie hall. There were a total of eight very comfortable leather sofas in two rows, which were placed in a semicircle, facing the movie screen in front of them.
Xia Ruofei asked everyone to find a place to sit down first, then he walked to the small screening room in the movie hall, connected the computer to the sound mixer, and did some simple adjustments. The sound effect was very good.
Then, Xia Ruofei walked out of the screening room and said to everyone, "Everyone, please wait for a moment. I will set up a soundproof barrier, and then we will start listening to the music!"
After that, Xia Ruofei walked out of the movie hall and skillfully set up a barrier around it, enveloping the movie hall inside.
In this way, the sound wouldn't be heard at all.
Xia Ruofei also considered that the music score was so heavily protected, encrypted and recorded on the token. He didn't know if there would be any special effects. If the sound leaked out and was heard by the staff outside or even the passersby in the alley, it wouldn't be easy to deal with it.
In short, it was better to be careful.
After setting up the barrier, Xia Ruofei returned to the movie hall.
Mu Sheng and the others were already a little impatient. Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Next, I will start playing in order. There are a total of 26 songs, and I have already arranged the numbers!"
"Let's start!" Mu Sheng said, "We are all ready!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and walked into the small screening room next to him. His heart was also full of expectations. He selected the number 1 song on the music arrangement software and clicked play.
The melodious tune sounded in the movie hall. The top-notch sound system created a very good surround effect, making people involuntarily immersed in the atmosphere of listening.
Xia Ruofei stood at the door of the screening room, listening to the song carefully with his eyes closed.
It had to be said that the tune was very beautiful. Although the score looked very simple, the music formed had a special temperament. It was a bit similar to the folk music style of Huaxia, but it was much better than any folk music Xia Ruofei had heard.
After a long time, the song ended.
Xia Ruofei finally opened his eyes and looked at everyone.
"Valley Master Liu, what do you think?" Xia Ruofei asked.
Liu Mansha smiled and said, "It's a beautiful melody, but it shouldn't be the correct version of this song …"
Mu Sheng nodded and said, "The melody is indeed very beautiful, but I keep feeling that some parts are not particularly harmonious. As for the specific reason, I can't tell!"
"Brother Chen, what do you think?" Xia Ruofei asked with a smile.
Chen Xuan pondered for a moment, then said, "I feel the same as the two seniors. This song shouldn't be the best version!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said with a smile, "It seems that everyone feels the same as me."
When Xia Ruofei listened to this song, he also felt that although the melody of the song was very pleasant to listen to, more or less, he could feel a trace of disharmony. This feeling was even more obvious when he released his spiritual power to listen to it.
Xia Ruofei had recorded a total of more than twenty versions of the song. In fact, the differences between each version were very subtle. Perhaps there were only a few small adjustments.
Therefore, he basically believed that this song was not the answer they were looking for.
"Then let's continue with the second song!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Then, he walked into the screening room and clicked on the second song.
This song also made people feel that it was a bit disharmonious, and it was a common feeling for everyone.
Then, the third song, the fourth song …
Xia Ruofei and the others listened to eighteen songs in a row.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The overall melody of these songs was basically the same, but after some slight adjustments, it gave people a different feeling.
What was even rarer was that these eighteen songs could definitely be called the best of the best. Any one of these songs, if uploaded to the Internet, would definitely be crazily sought after by people who liked folk music. Even people who didn't like to listen to pure music could not help but be attracted.
However, to everyone's disappointment, these eighteen songs more or less still felt wrong. It felt like they were just a little bit away from perfection, but just a little bit away …
Of course, after listening to the eighteen songs, although they still didn't gain anything, they were more confident.
These eighteen songs were enough to prove that the number combination obtained by deciphering the token's floating-point pattern through the supercomputer was not a bunch of meaningless numbers.
This also confirmed their conclusion — they were really in the right direction this time!
Xia Ruofei was not discouraged. After exchanging opinions with everyone, he opened the nineteenth song and clicked on the play button.
This time, it was the same melody that everyone was already very familiar with. However, when the melody sounded in the screening room, Xia Ruofei suddenly trembled slightly.
His mouth was slightly open. Although his eyes were looking forward, they were obviously not focused.
