Chapter 1587: First Contact!
Observation Station 922, Observation Position 1587. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Walsh was woken up on time by the set wake-up call program, and habitually glanced at the monitoring data in front of him, and everything was normal. He habitually said hello to Page at Observation Booth 1586, and then took out a nutritional needle and prepared to inject himself.
At this time, a dazzling red light suddenly lit up on an observer in front of Walsh!
Walsh stopped his movements, looked at the observer in front of him in a daze, and didn't react for a while!
Life at the observatory is boring and boring, the universe is too big, most of the time on the observation screen is a pitch-black space, there is nothing there, and Walsh has long been used to it all.
The red light came on to indicate that an extremely dangerous target had been discovered, but Walsh had only read about this in his observation manual, and had not seen it once in his long observation days.
Walsh stared at the glaring red light in a daze, and only after a moment did he stretch out his nimble tentacles and quickly manipulate the observer to see what was happening!
A not-so-clear image appeared in front of Walsh, captured by the Empire's most advanced "Starry Eye" telescope, and Walsh could faintly see that in the upper right corner of the image, there was a cuboid smaller than the particles on his tentacles. Although he couldn't tell what the cuboid was, Walsh reacted almost instantly!
"That's a battleship!" Walsh sent out a subconscious thought, and almost instinctively, passed it on to Paige next door!
"What? Walsh, what did you just say? What battleship? A thought of doubt passed back. Page was ready to take a break, having just finished monitoring a shift.
"Page, battleship, battleship! I found a battleship! Walsh's mind still carries that kind of panic and uneasiness, this strong emotion, and even infected Page in an instant!
"Battleship? You say you found a battleship? You're not talking about our Expedition I, come on, it's not the first day you've seen it. Paige's thinking message came over, with a hint of joking.
"No, it's not Expedition I, it's a strange battleship! Page, move the observation target to Area BF85654! Walsh's thinking this time was a hint of urgency.
Each observation station of the Triple Star Empire has a fixed observation procedure, and each is responsible for an area, and unless it is manually operated, the observation area is different. This is also the reason why Walsh discovered the alien warship, but the other observation stations did not.
"Okay, but I think Walsh you've probably been too tired lately to have anything to ...... Oh, my God! ”
Page, who was at observation position 1586, didn't even have time to complete the thought information sent out before he suddenly interrupted and stared at the screen in front of him!
On the top of that screen, he saw the same image as Walsh! Not only that, but the irregular cuboid battleship he saw at this moment was almost the size of a little finger on his tentacle!
"Intruder!" A message of horror emanates from Paige's mind organs!
The next moment, this information was directly reported to the Astronomical Observation Branch of the Central Academy of Sciences through the emergency channel.
Forty triad seconds later, Dave Ka, director of the Astronomical Observation Branch, received the observation.
"It can't be! In our previous observations, this battleship had never appeared, it actually appeared directly at the top of the heliosphere, oh my God, does it have the ability to travel faster than the speed of light? Looking at the report in front of him, Davka's eyes widened as long as an egg, and a thought full of surprise unconsciously emanated from his thinking organs!
"I'm going to report it to Dean Lucerne of the Imperial Academy of Sciences right away! This is the biggest crisis in the history of the Triad! There is an invasion of foreign enemies! Davka thought as he hurried out of his institute!
The elite scholars of the Central Academy of Sciences are still gathered in the palace at this moment, discussing the specific details of the first expedition with the Great Emperor Rievic of the Triad Star Empire!
The political system of the Triad Star is completely different from that of the Earth. In the long years full of suffering, the intelligent beings of the Triad were fully aware of the power and importance of science and technology, so in their civilization, scientific development and progress came first, and all other aspects had to give way to scientific and technological development. Their supreme leader, Rievich the Great, was a great scholar in his own right! It is precisely because of this that Rievic was fully able to participate in the discussions of these scholars and give some constructive suggestions from time to time!
"Your Excellency, I have something important to report to you!" A mental message full of anxiety and tension was transmitted directly to Rievich the Great through a special channel.
The Emperor's special channel can only be directly contacted by the ministers of the empire and the leaders of key departments such as the Imperial Academy of Sciences and the Imperial Military Academy, and ordinary information must be reported level by level.
Davka hurriedly walked into this somewhat dark hall, ignored the surprised gazes of those around him, and came directly to Rievich the Great, and at the same time, sent a thinking message to everyone's thinking organs through the special broadcasting equipment in the hall!
"An unidentified alien warship has been found at the heliospheric top!" This news was like a storm, and it instantly swept through all the high-level Triad Stars in the main hall!
"The order goes down, and the No. BF85654 area is to be observed, and at the same time, the Triad Star Empire has entered a state of emergency combat readiness, and the first legion, the second legion, and the third legion have entered the first level of combat readiness! The Fourth and Fifth Army Corps, as reserves, are doing their best to defend themselves! "A moment later, Rievich the Great gave a decisive order!
With this order, the entire Triad Star began to urgently mobilize! Battleships and warplanes scrambled into the air, and planetary defense cannons tore off their camouflage and pointed their huge muzzles at the sky! Groups of heavily armed soldiers took up arms and urgently assembled!
At the same time, hundreds of scholars from the Imperial Academy of Sciences also put down all the work at hand, including the study of the "Expedition I", and turned their attention to the observation and study of the BF85654 area!
Countless observation instruments turned their direction and aimed at the BF85654 area, and one by one the image data was transmitted back to the Imperial Academy of Sciences like a tide!
Looking at the clearer and clearer picture, the scholars of the Imperial Academy of Sciences had more and more solemn expressions on their faces!
"There is only one target battleship, but according to the observation of its size, it is a large battleship of the planetary class, and the volume is more than five times that of the Expedition I we are building!"
"The target warship is extremely fast, and its ultimate speed is about one thousandth of the speed of light, and its performance far exceeds that of the Expedition I!"
"The composition material of the target battleship is unknown, and it has a strong ability to absorb detection waves, so it belongs to Class I stealth materials!"
More and more information, through the mind radio in the center of the hall of the Central Academy of Sciences, was frequently exchanged among scholars and high-ranking military personnel of the empire, and as the information received increased, the expressions on everyone's faces became more and more solemn!
Every foreign civilization that can cross the vast universe and reach another civilization planet is not an ordinary person. Being able to come here already explains a lot of things in itself, not to mention, before that, I didn't know anything about such a huge warship, including the Imperial Academy of Sciences! This made them feel extremely dangerous!
"Immediately send a notification message to the unknown warship, asking them to take the initiative to report their identity and purpose, and test their reaction!" After the end of the emergency war mobilization, the Great Emperor of the Triad, gave an official order!
An information file that had been prepared a long time ago was launched by the most advanced mind teleporter of the Sanhe Star, and flew straight towards the BF85654 Star Domain!
"Unknown signal wave detected!" Cheng An, who was manipulating the observation instrument of "Tianyan No. 1", suddenly received a report from his assistant. The latter looked excited and nervous, apparently the news took him by surprise!
"What? Send it to me right away! Hearing the assistant's words, Cheng An suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly said!
"Cheng, what did you find?" When Dr. Caron heard Cheng An's words, he immediately turned his head and asked quickly. He didn't understand Chinese, and when he saw Cheng An's excited expression, he knew that something big must have happened!
"Unknown broadcast information has been discovered!" Cheng An said briefly in English, without revealing too much information. However, just this sentence is enough! All the scientists, including Caron, were drawn in!
On the huge virtual screen, a message is displayed in the very center, and the decipherment progress bar below shows that the decipherment work is in progress!
"This message is regular, and it's a kind of information encoding that we've never seen before! According to computer analysis, there is a 95% chance that it is information sent by intelligent life forms! Cheng An said excitedly.
He couldn't help but get excited. As a scientific researcher who has studied astronomy for half his life, Cheng An's biggest dream in this life is to get close to extraterrestrial civilizations. If it weren't for this mission, if it weren't for this accident, this dream of his might not be realized in his life, but now, the first contact is in front of him, how can he not be excited? How can you not be excited?
The mood of other scientists is the same as Cheng An! The allure of coming into contact with a strange extraterrestrial civilization is undoubtedly enormous for scientists like them!
"The decipherment is almost complete, what will it be?" Cheng An looked at the deciphered progress bar below and thought a little nervously.
Although he doesn't know the specific content of the message, Cheng An knows that this message must have been sent in plaintext and not encrypted, otherwise, even with the powerful computing power of the Galaxy computer, it would be impossible to crack it so quickly!
Ten minutes later, with a soft sound of "tick", the decipherment of the entire message was finally completed!
Looking at the text displayed in front of them, Cheng An and the others even forgot to breathe, and their eyes stared at those few short lines of text, as if they were looking at the most fascinating thing in the world!
"Strange alien civilization, you have entered the star field of the Triad Star Empire, please stop advancing immediately, and inform your identity information, otherwise it will be regarded as a hostile act!"
This information is not long, but it reveals enough information! Seeing this information, a group of scientists, including Cheng An, not only were not afraid, but even more excited!
"Sure enough, it's true, that planet really exists! And there's a civilization on that planet! They call it the Triad Star Empire! They are an imperial country! Oh my God, that's amazing! Cheng An read the information like crazy, as if he was fascinated!
For them, this is the first time they have received information from an extraterrestrial civilization! For them, the message itself is much more significant than the content it carries!
"Unbelievable, unbelievable! In such harsh conditions, a civilization can be born, oh my God, how did they survive! After seeing this message, Dr. Caron also let out an exclamation! At this moment, they have entered the range of Centauri A, and they can naturally understand this place more clearly. As they speculated before, the three stars here are always doing irregular three-body movements, which also makes this galaxy full of high temperatures, severe cold, gravitational turbulence, radiation, and so on that can destroy all intelligent beings at any time. How could there be a civilized race in such a harsh environment? It's nothing short of a miracle!
"Quick, go and report to Mr. Chu, we need to respond immediately! We have to communicate our goodwill, we have to come into contact with a strange civilization, there is a lot of work to be done! Cheng An yelled at the staff around him like crazy.
However, before the staff member could respond, he stood up on his own and ran quickly towards the rear passage of the command center hall, saying without looking back as he ran: "I'll go talk to him myself!" ”
Cheng An ran wildly all the way, as if this was the only way to vent the excitement in his heart at the moment! ran for three minutes in a row, until he felt that he was about to lose his breath, and finally came to the door of Chu Yang's room.
"Academician Cheng, do you have anything to do?" At the door of the room, Ding Ting stopped Cheng An and asked with a smile.
"Quick, go and report to Mr. Chu, I have something important to report to him!" Cheng An shouted loudly.
"However, Mr. Chu is now in retreat, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you, if there is anything, it's the same with me." Ding Ting said with a smile.
"What? Retreat? No, no, this matter is too important, I must tell Mr. Chu immediately, otherwise something big will happen! Hearing Ding Ting's words, Cheng An's head shook like a rattle!
"Academician Cheng, what's so urgent?" At this moment, a soft voice rang out!
