Chapter 693: The First Contact of an Extraterrestrial Civilization

In the first 5 minutes, in the eyes of different people, they saw different things.

Ordinary viewers have seen the magnificent interstellar war scenes, the special effects are so real that they are terrifying, and the 3D effect is even better than "Avatar".

In the eyes of professional movie fans, it is a very well-designed long shot, sound and picture processing effects, and very finely designed and self-contained details of alien civilizations.

And those who don't really care about the movie, but only care about what Gu Song wants to say, haven't seen anything yet.

Fortunately, the film finally began to reveal some of the things he wanted to express.

The first big passage is when the protagonist begins to see this "real" illusion constantly. He saw that this civilization, which should be called "jellyfish" according to human language, implemented a very heroic "egg species" plan, and lost both the "heron tooth" civilization.

Of course, it is the jellyfish civilization itself that thinks so.

The Herontooth Civilization felt that it should have wiped out the Jellyfish Civilization and dragged the broken fleet away.

He saw small pods appear inside the smashed jellyfish battleships.

They coalesce in the void after the departure of the Heron Tooth Civilization, and then the bulkheads melt into some kind of liquid, and finally converge into a large ball.

The large ball eventually sank under the clouds of a nearby giant gaseous planet.

This process is slowly seen by the protagonist over the course of nearly a year.

He thought he was sick.

As a well-educated college student, he chose what he considered scientific: to find a psychiatrist.

Because of the confiding with his good friend, his "hallucination" was also spread as a joke.

In the process, all kinds of ridiculous things happened between him and the psychiatrist, between his friends, and even between some good people and some fanatics of abnormal events in society.

If it weren't for the fact that at this stage, there were still magnificent and magnificent space pictures of the jellyfish civilization, ordinary viewers would have thought that this was a comedy.

And those who care about the essence of Gu Song's work will think deeply about the scenes and dialogues inside.

At the end of the first stage, the psychiatrist, who had always seemed to be patient, finally burst out laughing.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lost my temper, it's so unprofessional. Do you really see that a new jellyfish civilization has been born in that big sphere, and they are discussing going to Earth to get resources, build a fleet and return to the home galaxy?"

The protagonist sees the psychiatrist's demeanor and does not cooperate with him anymore.

"You don't believe me. ”

The psychiatrist didn't tense anymore, and he also looked speechless: "I'm a psychiatrist." The reason you came to me is because you feel like you have a psychological problem, and you don't believe it yourself. Why do you believe it now?"

The image of the universe appears again in front of the protagonist's eyes.

The sphere rose from the clouds of the massive gaseous planet and began to adjust its orbit, heading for Earth 8.7 light-years away.

In this kind of picture, the protagonist's mind also flashed all kinds of ridicule and doubts encountered in the past year. He suddenly became firm: "You're right, I believe it. I'll find a way to prove it. ”

……

At the outermost end of Saturn's rings, an inconspicuous man-made object points its large lens in a direction outside the solar system.

It took less than a year to get here from lunar orbit. If this speed is known by the astronauts on the earth, I am afraid that my jaw will have to fall.

It took four and a half years for Pioneer 1, three years and two months for Voyager 1, and six years and nine months for Cassini.

And this man-made object took less than a year to get here. It was even on the way, waiting for another part of the later launch, to achieve docking assembly.

Its quality is not small.

Being able to reach Saturn's orbit so quickly only shows that its propulsion system is far more advanced than the current one.

It had been in orbit here for a long time in orbit with the flint, looking for traces of its existence and observing what it looked like.

According to the information that Gu Song knew, it should have already detached from the curvature at a distance of 15 light years from the solar system and began to slow down.

This is to avoid the curvature of the trajectory from appearing too close to the solar system.

But Gu Song's "Eye of Deep Sky" wanted to shoot the Flint at all, and it was not easy at all.

Even if you know its orbit, you can roughly calculate its position. But at a distance of light years, how easy is it to capture a spacecraft that is still flying at sub-light speeds while leaving some optical images in dark deep space with only its propulsion system?

"Deep Sky Eye" has been filming for several months, constantly comparing some of the captured star information with the data in the database, and then correcting its shooting angle and focus.

To be honest, in the past few months of shooting, the high-speed photometer and high-resolution spectrometer on it have found a lot of faint objects and variable stars in this direction.

By now, it should be almost ready to complete its mission.

After months of revision, more and more traces of its voyage have been captured.

This kind of trace, if it is not for absolutely accurate data on the ship's route, it is extremely difficult to detect it in the vast cosmic starry sky. This is not as obvious as the curvature of the trajectory of the voyage, which is as obvious as the fluctuations in the data on other large-scale scanning machines.

Far away, another spacecraft is heading towards the far point of the orbit around Saturn.

But on a cosmic scale, it and Gu Song's "Eye in Deep Sky" are both in Saturn's orbit, and they can be regarded as neighbors. That's none other than the Saturn probe Cassini.

Gu Song knew about Cassini's existence, but Cassini didn't know about the existence of this "Deep Sky Eye".

Will they meet?

……

In the theater, the second chapter of "Chrono Witness" also began.

He began to become the protagonist of the weird in the eyes of his classmates and friends, and began to teach himself books related to astronomy.

At the same time, he also began to write a science fiction book about many things he "saw" and "heard", even the language.

In this chapter, in the eyes and pen of the isolated protagonist, a magnificent extraterrestrial civilization world is constructed.

These science fiction works, because of the protagonist's inner loneliness, were thrown into a certain literary website and had some readers.

Some readers even believed it to be true because of the rigorous setting in it and corresponded with him.

These are just small episodes, but the real main line is that the protagonist is admitted to a graduate school in astronomy and embarks on the route of academic research.

And his first achievement was based on the relative direction relationship between the battlefield environment and the position of the earth that he "saw", and took advantage of the opportunity to do research and operate astronomical telescopes with his mentor, and discovered the battlefield and the gaseous planet that had not yet been discovered.

This discovery gives him academic credentials, but to the protagonist's greater excitement, it confirms that it is not a hallucination.

From that moment on, he set new goals.

Subsequently, the protagonist begins to enter a new stage of life, and the aura continues.

A rising star in astronomy and a rising writer of science fiction. Behind these identities, the protagonist has an extra companion by his side, the psychiatrist who couldn't help but laugh.

Because he has the protagonist's medical records back then, the description above is too consistent with the "never-discovered" planets that the protagonist found with an astronomical telescope many years later, and even the subsequent discoveries are too consistent.

They started trying to do one thing.

Capture optical footage of the moment the battle takes place.

In terms of time, it will take 8.7 years after the battle to observe battlefield light on Earth.

To prove the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations, it is not enough to rely on the tacit understanding between these two people, more solid evidence is needed.

As a result, they need to apply for a larger experimental program and financial support.

To this end, they even found an opportunity to report the existing evidence and the truth of the facts to a high-ranking official with great power.

Not surprisingly, they didn't get the support they needed.

In desperation, he could only use the only observation equipment he had to make observations.

When the time came, due to the young age and lack of qualifications, the only observation equipment and the final captured picture were too poor.

From this moment on, the duo has become some kind of public figure, taking this evidence, using every occasion to promote the existence of the jellyfish civilization and the heron tooth civilization, and proclaim that the alien spacecraft is coming.

Not surprisingly, the two men were deemed insane and rushed to prison.

The only way they have left is to continue to promote all this in the form of science fiction literature.

One day, the protagonist is suddenly urgently invited out of prison and taken to a very high-security building.

The moment he saw the leaders of the world's major countries, he suddenly understood something.

"They're coming?"

"There are still 27 hours. ”

"What do you need me to do?"

"You really ...... Do you understand their language?"

"That's not the language we understand, it's not sound, it's not vibration. I don't have a lot of necessary research, I just understand, I don't know why I understand, I don't even know if I really understand. ”

"In any case, we need to know where they come from. ”

The protagonist laments, "I told you that they are going to Earth to get resources and build a fleet to go home. ”

"Can you still 'see' and 'hear' new things over the years?"

"Yes, but it's not stable, I don't understand how it works. ”

"Let's go to the space station, we must try to communicate with them. It's all about the future of civilization!"

……

At this point in the movie, the hardcore part begins.

The picture of the rocket launch is clearly taken of Candle Dragon 2.

With it, it's the picture of the International Space Station again.

The real effect almost makes people think it is a real shot.

But above the space station, the huge spherical alien spacecraft reminds the audience all the time that this is a special effect.

Alien spacecraft seem to have some interest in the International Space Station.

They even took a position to take up a few satellites in other orbits that happened to pass below.

In the middle of the connection, the protagonist says, "I 'see' a new picture. ”

On the screen, the big men on the surface looked extremely nervous.

"They said, it's not level 1 yet, you can do it, start it. ”

Immediately, a communication from the surface came: "Activate what, communicate with them according to the predetermined method!"

In the International Space Station, a series of voices can be heard.

"Radio signal sending complete!"

"Optical signals are being transmitted!"

"Digital Signal ......"

Before the voice could be finished, the people in the space station stopped.

I don't know if it was a beam of light, or something, from the side of the space station straight to the earth.
