Chapter 234: The Influence of the Astronomical Community
XK1992-1010 What exactly is the plan, although he has been engaged in its research, Gao Xiang has only recently glimpsed its true body.
To put it simply, this plan originated from an alien object that fell in a suburb of Haizhou on October 10, 1992, and claimed that it was a satellite that fell to the ground, but Gao Xiangzhi, who actually experienced this incident, said that it was not a satellite that fell, but a vehicle from outer space.
The fall of the aircraft has not only attracted the attention of domestic leaders, especially military leaders, but also attracted the attention of the United States and other countries. In the snatching of the wreckage of the aircraft, in the end, China obtained the majority of the wreckage, about 30 percent of the entire aircraft, and the United States grabbed 10 percent. The remaining 60 per cent is a permanent void due to severe damage.
When Gao Xiang's XK1992-1010 project was suspended, the analysis of the aircraft had just begun, and even only came to the conclusion that "it came from an alien civilization with a higher civilization level than the earth", and the subsequent analysis work stalled.
Now that he knows why the Tao is stagnant, the answer is that he is not in the Caucus.
On the side of the Cangshan base, the progress of the XK1992-1010 plan has been orderly and efficient, and up to now, all the wreckage has been analyzed, and these scientific and technological wealth will be applied to human life and production in the near future.
Although the XK1992 plan originated from an accidental visitor, it would be a mistake to simply think that it was just an analysis of the aircraft. Since the development of the plan, it has become a huge SETI plan for the contact between the earth civilization and the space civilization.
****************
SETI Planning. It is a plan to search for extraterrestrial civilizations, and is committed to using advanced equipment such as radio telescopes to receive electromagnetic waves from the universe. It analyzes regular signals in the hope of discovering extraterrestrial civilizations.
Relatively early was the "Ozma Plan" formulated and implemented by the Americans in 1960. This is also the first purposeful and organized plan in the history of human civilization to search for "aliens" in space.
Named after the fictional ruler of Oz, Queen Ozma, the project was launched in 1960 at the National Radio Observatory in the United States using the Green Causeway Telescope in West Virginia to search for biomarkers in the nearby solar system, using a 26-meter radio telescope that selects a wavelength of 21 centimeters to receive signals from the outside world, which is the wavelength naturally emitted by hydrogen in interstellar space, which is thought to be familiar to creatures trying to radio communicate across the stars, and is used as a standard for cosmic communication.
Ozma's planning carried out four months of intermittent observations, accumulating more than 150 hours of information, but found no discernible signals.
From 1972 to 1975. In addition, the second phase of the "Ozma" plan was carried out, and scientists observed more than 650 planets near the earth. Hopefully, outside of the natural radio noise of the universe, you can hear a signal like this: "You are not alone, please come to the Galactic Club." ”
The result was still fruitless.
In 1985, under the leadership of astrophysicist Paul Horowitz of Harvard University in the United States, another project called "Mita" was launched, with the participation of many international countries, using 840 radio channels to scan cosmic celestial bodies, the scale of which is equivalent to completing 1 million "Ozma" projects in one minute. However, due to the increase in bands by tens of thousands of times, the corresponding workload has also increased. It takes 200 to 400 days to survey space.
In addition, such plans include the "Phoenix Project" launched by the United States in 1992 to find intelligent creatures in outer space, which was in the same year as the XK1992 Project, was affected by the aircraft that fell in Haizhou, or was it just a coincidence?
There is also the continuation of Ozma's plan. The Dorothy Project, which was launched in 2010, can be counted as part of the SETI Project.
Half a century has passed since the first human contact research on extraterrestrials. With limited contact, there is no doubt that human beings are in a passive situation. As for the results of several large-scale projects, they are also lackluster.
It's better to wait on Earth. Waiting for the outer space vehicle to fall to the ground on its own, two have already fallen in at least two short decades.
Thinking back to reality from combing through the trajectory of history, Gao Xiang rubbed his somewhat tired eyes.
I have been in a high-intensity discussion for the past few days, and my eyes are sore from the smoke of cigarettes.
The analysis of the aircraft that crashed in Haizhou in the core part of XK1992 has been completed, followed by the aircraft that crashed in Binhe City late at night on September 2, and the abnormal movement that occurred on September 5 that affected the entire solar system.
I don't know why, Gao Xiang has a delusion, is there any significance in the research they are doing? Perhaps, even if it is carried out for a few more years and until he retires, there may not be the significance of the so-called substantive breakthrough.
Who should answer the question of whether there are aliens in this world, or whether there are aliens in the solar system? If it is obvious that there are signs of the fall of the aircraft, it can be concluded that there are no aliens in the solar system from the perspective of detection by various countries.
These two assertions are obviously contradictory.
If aliens can accidentally drop their craft to Earth twice, how can they be guaranteed to completely escape under Earth's technology?
Could it be that the aliens are sitting at opposite ends of the peace, ensuring that they are not discovered, but at the same time sacrificing the safety of the aircraft itself? Since they are all products of science and technology, it is reasonable that this kind of contradiction will not appear. If their aircraft are so unreliable, how can they evade the radio network of the earthlings?
Compared with the problem of aliens and flying machines, Gao Xiang is actually more concerned about the fact that the solar system is inexplicably missing thirteen hours.
If the former is just a discussion of what or there is, then the latter is a big event that can destroy the existing physical understanding.
Humans, aliens. It's just life forms that live together in the same universe, and if they want to see each other, they can come a long way. and the knowledge of the universe itself. It is the core issue that determines the value of human life.
Even though he is not an astrophysicist, Gao Xiang still has a little awe and fear of the majestic "giant hand" that can change time and space.
As theologians say. The universe is just a product of God's hands, and God is beyond the universe and stands outside to control the universe, so all this is too terrible. Human beings are like prisoners imprisoned in a cage, manipulated by a living individual called "God" at any time.
If God is unhappy one day, or if God's life is coming to an end, will the whole universe be buried for him?
At that time, it was possible that humanity was rejoicing in leaving Earth and entering the cosmic age, or that it had just come into direct contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. The two civilizations forged a deep friendship through the common testimony of trillions of lives, but at that moment, the universe perished.
……
Gao Xiang felt that if he used this as a reference to write a science fiction novel after retirement, it would probably trigger a crazy pursuit by many readers. But it's a pity that he is, after all, a scientific and technological worker, and at best he writes a report and translates a paper, and he really wants to write a novel. It is estimated that it is also an obscure paper, and few people will definitely want to read it by then.
I couldn't help but sneeze, it was really cold on the peaks of Kucang Mountain.
It just so happened that Zhan Hua had just come out of the astronomy group meeting, and Gao Xiang saw him and asked, "What is the result of your discussion?" Are there any new ideas coming along?"
Zhan Hua took out a cigarette, lit the fire, and said, "Why not." At today's meeting, a young physicist came up with an unbelievable idea that the entire universe is real except for our solar system. Everything else is false. We are life confined to a small solar system, and all previously observed phenomena outside the solar system have occurred in a huge curtain around the solar system. ”
"What do you think of this idea?" asked Gao Xiang suddenly.
Gao Xiang nodded and smiled: "This idea seems to say." Our solar system is in a huge container, or in some kind of machine, and a huge curtain covers our starry sky, projecting through our unknown devices, emitting all kinds of cosmic signals, and then causing us to think that we are living in an infinite cosmic space, but in reality we live in a space that is only 15 astronomical units?
This idea is somewhat in line with "God and His Universe."
"Yes, this idea explains why the solar system time will suddenly be reduced by thirteen hours, because the universe on the curtain can be set at any time!"
Gao Xiang asked, "And what about Voyager 1, Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, and Voyager 2 that we sent beyond the critical margin, and they hit the curtain?"
Zhan Hua replied: "It is said that they were destroyed by the designer of the curtain, the real outer giant of the solar system, and the signals we received from them were actually simulated through the veil, so after the curtain was reset, even the time on them was out of sync with the earth. ”
"Hehe, it's kind of like a science fiction plot. ”
According to the physicist, the idea came from a science fiction novel called "The Forgotten Black Body" by a female writer named Cirno...... He felt that the idea of this novel was very much in line with what we were currently encountering, so he talked about the setting of the book. ”
"It's just a direct quote, your astronomical community is too hasty. The brows frowned, and Gao Xiang, who has always respected the rigor of physical theory, felt incredible.
Zhan Hua shrugged his shoulders, "What's the solution, now the astronomical community is about to go crazy because of the missing thirteen hours, everyone is brainstorming, collecting as many ideas as possible, even if it is a ridiculous guess, we think it is a cornerstone to provide truth." ”
"It is said that the American counterparts are interested in launching a science contest in which NASA will solicit ideas for the 'Missing Thirteen Hours' theme event, and the ten best guesses will be selected and awarded to them. Several other countries are also preparing to host similar events. ”
"What a hidden from the world, dark Chen Cang!" Gao Xiang felt quite speechless, "What about our country?"
"Hehe, of course there are similar activities, sponsored by the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. ”
"There is another situation that you don't know, the recent fire fiction in our country, our experts in the astronomical field have a few books, and they are preparing to draw wisdom from them and enrich their imagination!"
Gao Xiang joked: "Then that female writer named Qi Lunuo, her book must be very popular." ”
That is, after watching her "Forgotten Black Body", everyone is now looking forward to what kind of wonderful ideas her "Future Reincarnation" will show...... Hey, it's all about work!"
After Zhan Hua left, Gao Xiang couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seemed that the astronomical world was already a little chaotic.
The missing thirteen hours were a disaster for them. But at the same time, isn't it the motivation to drive them to explore the unknown?
How much energy does it take for physicists to abandon rigor and turn to fantasy for answers? (To be continued......)
