Chapter 44: What Mathematics Can Do
Scientists and government officials have gone to work on the 50-year plan, but Li Shitang is idle and invites himself to bring an analysis team to study the information from the Star Alliance.
When a picture taken by Wang Jinxi holding an oilfield instrument was passed to the Japanese, Japanese experts used the extremely limited things in the photo to calculate the latitude, the orientation of the oil well, the diameter and depth of the oil well...
Then it was concluded that the oil well they dug that year was only 300 meters away from the Daqing oilfield.
Mathematics can do far more than just a few application problems, and it is as simple as cutting a straight line through the coordinates of the intersection of an ellipse.
The same is true for logical reasoning.
And when the two are combined, it will have a terrifying effect - ordinary dress, speech and behavior in the eyes of smart people, but they can read a lot of information about the person's personality and hobbies, living environment, economic status and so on.
Although the messages sent by Xinglian were just greeting messages, on Li Shitang's side, he could already see enough things.
Through the signals received by satellites arranged in different positions, they confirmed the source of the signal, and soon found traces of this star ...
Through the complexity of the grammar and logical rigor of the data received, they judged that this civilization had a high level of culture and should not be much worse than the earth.
According to some poetic styles, as well as some metaphors in the greetings, they already knew that there was a super high mountain called Moyun on the Star Union.
Based on the different grammars of the communication, they also learned that the Federation was not supposed to be a unified civilization, as they used several different scripts.
As for what the frequency of a certain type of writing represents, it is not really representative of anything.
For example, Europe and the United States are very fond of sending strange signals to extraterrestrials, but China never does this.
Can it be said that there is a big gap between China and Europe and the United States in terms of development?
It can only be said that people in countries that love to signal are more fond of expressing themselves and showing off their individuality.
Through a series of statistics, this planet far away in the Big Magellanic galaxy has gradually taken off its mysterious veil.
This is a superplanet eight times the size of the Earth, and if it is not clear how the concept is, you can draw a circle with a compass with a radius of one centimeter on paper, and then draw a circle with a radius of two centimeters...
This is the Earth and the Star Union.
The entire planet is dominated by land, the ocean occupies only 30% of the entire planet's area, and the air composition is still dominated by nitrogen, and the oxygen component accounts for about 26%.
There are about 4 billion people on the entire planet, one billion more than the Earth is today.
But this made a group of analysts very surprised, such a big planet, the level of science and technology is not low, how can there be only 4 billion people, if it is 40 billion, it will be normal...
But the fact is that there are four billion, and they can only accept it.
The technological development of the Star Alliance is still lower than that of the Earth, and it has just stepped into the ranks of the third level, and it can already carry out long-distance interstellar exploration, but there are no large-scale interstellar warships...
It's just that according to the greetings, it is already the limit to be able to do this, and Li Shitang can't force too much, what we need to pay attention to now is the relationship between the earth and this civilization.
Can we live in peace?
The people of the Star Alliance can now happily send all kinds of greetings, not because of how hospitable and kind this civilization is, but because they don't know that there is a civilization on this planet.
If they knew, it might have been a different story...
After all, as far as the earth is concerned, there are also Great China that welcomes foreign visits, hospitable Indians who are willing to help the British in distress, but there are also American imperialists who will take revenge, and little neon who can't be raised...
The complexity of civilization cannot be explained clearly in three or two sentences, nor can it be seen from so many greetings, he needs more information!
A message flashed and popped off the screen.
"If there were a miracle in this world, what color would she be?"
Li Shitang looked at this inexplicable news and suddenly had an idea...
————
Earth, Greater China, Green City, Nanhe Province, He Anxin shook his mobile phone casually, and a message popped up on it in a few moments.
"If miracles had a color, what color would she be?"
He AnxinHe Anxin shook his head and sighed at the boredom of people in this world.
This kind of old-fashioned question is still asked, isn't it good to have this free time to go to the virtual space to brush up the record?
But he's also a boring person, otherwise he wouldn't have run out in broad daylight to shake it.
"If miracles have a color, it's red!" He replied.
This kind of random swiping messages come from all over the world, much like the drifting bottles that came out of WeChat in the early days.
Well, in fact, this is also a feature of WeChat that has only recently come out, as for the source, it is actually just a whisper from the morning.
His message was not answered in the first place, but he didn't care, what should he say, get used to it?
The next morning, when he got up and opened WeChat, he was surprised to find that the message had been replied!
"Why?"
He Anxin was speechless, is this especially to entertain himself.
It's a terrier from a few decades ago...
But then he suddenly realized, yes, after all, it was all decades ago, and if it weren't for people like himself who often visited ACG circles, they wouldn't know it at all.
Okay, let yourself popularize it for him.
"Because red is my favorite color, and if miracles have colors, it must be my favorite color!"
The message still hasn't been answered immediately.
But the next morning, unsurprisingly, he saw the answer.
"Then my miracle is the blue of the sky..."
The communication between the two is full of randomness and irreproducibility.
He Anxin thought that he had just randomly arrived at a stranger, but on the other side of the planet, Bai Xiaoxiao thought that someone had received the electromagnetic signal sent by him, and then replied.
Although the probability is low, it is not impossible.
Li Shitang originally wanted to come by himself, but when he picked up his mobile phone, he found that he hadn't talked to people on an equal footing for decades, and his motives were not pure, if Starlink was a thoughtful person, he might find something abnormal.
But Ho Anxin is different.
As the name suggests, he is a very reassuring person, his personality is sensual, sincere to people, and he can't help but go up and ask what is going on when a passerby is sad.
Plus, he's a very good talker...
Such a pure person, an elegant person, a person who has detached himself from low-level interests, even if he only uses words, a sincere heart can move some people...
Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't be impressed, there are still many such teenagers on the earth, and there are more electromagnetic waves from the communication on the Star Alliance.
It's a big deal, one by one.
Li Shitang named this project - love across time and space!
Well, that's right, all these teenagers he found were single...
The reason the goddesses use when they are rejected is generally that you are a good person...
