Chapter 49: A Silver Glimmer of Hope
Lin Shanshan heard a voice coming from outside into the spaceship, and she told everyone not to speak, let her listen carefully, and maybe she could hear a way to escape.
"Okay, we have time, you listen carefully, we just don't speak. "Everyone said the same.
Lin Shanshan heard two sounds, one of which obviously came from the outside of the spacecraft, but it was not the impact sound that she had heard, it was the sound of waves, not so much heard as felt, and after listening to it for a while, she heard the pattern. So she said to her colleagues: "To be precise, there are two voices at the same time, and one is definitely from the outside......"
"You mean there's another one from within?" Yang Qi said.
"I didn't say that, except to say that there was something from the outside that was very certain, and it wasn't the sound of an impact, it wasn't the sound of a knock on our spacecraft, it was a wave. ”
"Wave?" Xu Jiawei said.
"Yes, you can't hear it, it's actually because it doesn't have a sound, I'm a professional at deciphering codes, and the sound of this wave is to feel it, I feel it. The sound is very regular, but I can't decipher it for a while. Lin Shanshan said.
"Is there any hope for decipherment?" asked Xu Jiawei.
"It's hard to say, at least give me some time. Lin Shanshan said.
"Time is no problem, if it is deciphered, it may help us escape from the black hole. Xu Jiawei said.
"Yes, Shanshan, you just let go, if there is anything we need our help with, just say, this message may be our escape code. Su Xiaojia said.
"Hehe, now you are pinning your hopes on me again, how can you call Ma Biao embarrassing. Lin Shanshan said jokingly.
"Haha, I've done my job, it's up to you next. Ma Biao also said with a smile.
"I'll do my best, but I need to be quiet, and from now on, you'd better not talk. Lin Shanshan said.
"Good. Everyone said in unison.
Lin Shanshan felt this wave over and over again, gradually mastering its rules, and then she used all the knowledge she had learned in her life to try to decipher it, but it was too difficult for her to understand the meaning of each wave. One thing she thought was very strange, why this wave was so regular, there was no change in the slightest, after listening to it a few times, she could recite it, and she suddenly thought: Could it be that there are advanced beings in this black hole, and they are trying to contact us? What do they want to communicate with people passing by, and how do they communicate? This may be the content of this message. She thought that she couldn't decipher it for a while anyway, so she should raise this issue and discuss it together, maybe it would inspire the decipherment.
"Let's start talking. This wave is very regular, and it is also very mechanical, and each complete band will not have the slightest deviation, I can memorize it, but I just can't break it, let's discuss it together. We don't discuss the content, because the people I feel can't decipher it, and everyone can't know where to start. Discuss why it is so regular, as if it is playing a recording, could it be that there are advanced life beings in the black hole, and what do they express to people passing by?" Lin Shanshan said.
The atmosphere inside the spaceship suddenly came alive.
"There will also be advanced life in the black hole, and it will be in the center of the black hole, which is a brain-opening question, and no one would have thought of it. Luo Dongfang said.
"I'm just hypothetical, because the content is the same, and it is very regular, I judge that it is not a natural phenomenon, and it must be that there may be a higher life that wants to express something. Lin Shanshan said.
"Anything is possible, as long as it's not measured by Earth's standards, life could be everywhere, and the same is true for black hole centers. Yang Qi said.
"Then let's assume that there is life in the center of the black hole, and try along this line of thought to see what results will come out, which may help us decipher the code. Xu Jiawei said.
"Yes, that's what I meant. Lin Shanshan said.
"Shanshan, if you were a living being in a black hole and saw an alien object, what would you think?" Xu Jiawei asked.
"I think that if you can go to the center of our galaxy without being swallowed by a black hole, it means that your technology is quite developed, so let's communicate. Lin Shanshan said.
"How do I communicate with you, where are you, I can't see you?" Mr. Xu said.
"I can see you, you do what I do, and the signal you receive now is my prompt. Lin Shanshan followed this line of thought.
Still didn't know what information was, and suddenly Lin Shanshan remembered something and said, "Yang Qi, what did you ask me just now?"
"Me?" Yang Qi didn't know what Lin Shanshan was referring to, "I didn't ask you anything." ”
"I seem to have guessed something, I don't know if it's right or not. Lin Shanshan said.
"Does this have anything to do with what I asked?" Yang Qi said in surprise.
"Yes, you inspired me. ”
"Oh?"
"I said that I heard two voices, one is very sure that it is coming from outside the spaceship, and the other is not sure, Yang Qi, you asked me, 'Is there another sound from inside the spaceship'? ”
Everyone was excited for a while, and Xu Jiawei said, "Shanshan, tell me quickly, what's the situation?"
Lin Shanshan said: "Because it's just a conjecture and I'm not sure, I try to speak as slowly as possible, and I talk while thinking." A black hole is a place where everything can be eaten, including light, and we have confirmed that the light emitted by the spacecraft is also absorbed by it, and even though the power generation system is working normally, the light emitted by it is eaten before we can see it. ”
Lin Shanshan paused, and everyone didn't speak, waiting for her to continue. "Another characteristic of black holes that we have also confirmed, it only eats, it doesn't care about digestion, it doesn't care about eating things in, and it leaves matter to fend for itself when it bumps and bumps inside. What does this mean? It means that the substance that has been eaten is still in it, and it has not escaped, and if a guy more powerful than a black hole comes here to look for the lost thing, it will definitely be found. ”
Everyone was confused by Lin Shanshan's words, and they didn't know what she wanted to express and what it had to do with the waves she received.
Lin Shanshan continued: "Since everything is still in the black hole, what about the light? The light should also be in it, but we don't know where it is. ”
"Light can also be saved?" Yang Qi said.
"Can be saved!" Shanshan continued. Xu Jiawei didn't expect Lin Shanshan's conjecture to be exactly the same as his thoughts, and he seemed even more excited, and he encouraged Shanshan to continue.
"So much foreshadowing has been done just now, and the next thing is the point. Lin Shanshan was also a little excited, "There are two parts of the waves I received, one part is clearly from the outside, and the other part I now guess comes from the inside of the spaceship." These two waves are related to light, the outer wave is from the black hole where the light is stored, and the inner wave is the signal left by the light emitted by the spacecraft when it is eaten by the black hole, and the two waves are intertwined to complete the absorption process of light. ”
"Ah?!" everyone's conjecture about Lin Shanshan was greatly unexpected.
"Is there anything else you want to add?" Mr. Xu said.
"Not for the time being. Lin Shanshan finally finished speaking, she was still satisfied with her thoughts, "I hope everyone will discuss and discuss, this may be a clue to escape from the black hole." ”
Xu Jiawei asked everyone if they had something to say, in fact, everyone wanted to speak too much, but they were embarrassed to interrupt Lin Shanshan's words just now.
"It's incredible, your imagination in astronomy is really too rich, but from a layman's point of view, what Shanshan said is not unreasonable. Luo Dongfang breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"I'm also a layman, and I agree with Shanshan. Yang Qi said.
"Shanshan's idea opened up a new way of thinking for us. Ma Biao said.
"yes, I couldn't have imagined that I couldn't feel this wave as a woman. Su Xiaojia said.
"Hehe, you didn't study this major, just like I don't understand the gravitational pull of the universe. Lin Shanshan said with a smile.
"If what Shanshan said is correct, then I must be able to find a way to drive the ship to the place where the light is stored, and maybe find an escape exit there. Zhou Wenbo is also very confident in himself.
Xu Jiawei listened to everyone's speeches and said: "Regarding the storage of light, Shanshan and I have thought of it together, but I don't have Shanshan's imagination. I think there is some truth in Shanshan's analysis, and we have no choice but to give it a go. Now let's combine Lin Shanshan's conjecture with Zhou Wenbo's technology and drive the spacecraft to the place where the light source is. ”
"Zhou Wenbo, do you know where the spaceship is going?" asked Ma Biao.
"I don't know, now it should be the equilibrium point of various gravitational forces, the spaceship can't move, but as long as there is a direction, I can start it. Zhou Wenbo said.
"Direction to me, please be quiet, give me some time, I can judge the position according to the strength of the wave. Lin Shanshan said.
"No problem. Everyone unanimously said that they would stop talking.
Despite being in the darkness, Lin Shanshan still groped to find the recliner, habitually lying down and closing her eyes, feeling the source of the wave very carefully. The wave was regular, the intensity did not change, and according to the wavelength, she judged that the light source must not be far away.
"Yes, Zhou Wenbo. Lin Shanshan felt like she had found the light source.
"Found it?"
"Left ahead, the road should not be far. Lin Shanshan said.
"Okay, let's drive over. Xu Jiawei said, "But in the process of opening, let's not speak, let Shanshan feel the light source carefully, I guess this light will appear suddenly, there will be no afterglow, and you won't see it from a distance, because the slightest light has been absorbed into this place." Zhou Wenbo: You follow Shanshan's instructions. ”
"Understood. Zhou Wenbo replied very simply.
"Left front, angle 30 degrees. Lin Shanshan began to give orders.
Although in the dark, Zhou Wenbo still returned to the cockpit smoothly, because the light of the power indicator was gone, and the automatic system was not needed, so he turned on the manual equipment to drive according to the direction of Lin Shanshan's instructions.
But after driving for a while, the spaceship still couldn't move in place.
