The next day, early in the morning, the weather was fine.

Last night, Fang Zhenguo hurriedly returned to the headquarters and had already reported the fact that there was text information hidden in the genetic sequence of the meteorite microorganism.

The headquarters moved quickly, and the scientific research team of Lu Xiuwen and other biological research institutes already knew about it that night.

Early the next morning, when Fang Yuan came to the Institute of Biology, Lu Xiuwen and other researchers had already begun to re-study the microorganisms found in the meteorite.

Several members of the team also rushed over.

Several of them all knew that there was a written message hidden in the genes of meteorite microorganisms, so they all wanted to know what this information meant.

Only Niu Dazhi is an exception.

This thing still looks like he hasn't woken up, and he was arrested by someone sent by the headquarters.

"What are you doing? Don't let people sleep, wake people up at eight o'clock, is there any humanity left? Niu Dazhi shouted loudly.

Fang Zhenguo stuffed a document into his hand and said solemnly: "Read the regulations on it clearly, and then sign your name, if you violate the regulations above, you will basically be finished." ”

Niu Dazhi's fat shook all over his body, and he frowned and stared at the document: "Confidentiality regulations, A-level, what is confidential?" ”

"Idiot, of course it was yesterday's big discovery." Eve glanced at him.

"What did you find yesterday?" Niu Dazhi raised his head and made a serious thinking look.

"You'd better not tell you about yesterday, or you're doomed." Fang Yuan said.

"Are you stupid for me? I knew yesterday that this was a great discovery, how could I say it. Niu Dazhi said with a serious face.

Several members of the team cast expressions of disbelief.

Fang Zhenguo said solemnly: "Several of you have also signed the document, this matter has been designated as A-level confidential content, you can participate in relevant research, but all research results have the same level of confidentiality." ”

"Then I won't participate, I choose to go back to sleep." Niu Dazhi turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by two Awoken warriors.

"You all stay in the institute today to make sure that the information is not leaked." Fang Zhenguo reminded.

"I knew I slept in the car yesterday." Niu Dazhi couldn't leave, and then lay down on the row chair in the corridor and slept properly.

However, when Fang Yuan and the others began to study the base sequence information with Lu Xiuwen's team, Niu Dazhi got up again and came over to watch the excitement.

……

Yesterday, only Fang Yuan saw those base sequences.

There is a textual message left by intelligent species in the base sequence, which was also said by Fang Yuan alone, and all the information that others heard was obtained from Fang Yuan's mouth.

Scientific research is rigorous, and it is natural for the Institute of Biology to reconfirm whether these base sequences are really textual information.

In fact, when Lu Xiuwen received the notice from the headquarters last night, he couldn't sleep all night.

I arrived at the research institute before dawn, and spent the morning converting part of the genetic sequence of the meteorite microorganism into a code and printing it out.

On a thick pile of A4 characters, the quadruple letter code is densely recorded.

The research team took the base code and started the discussion.

"This paragraph, this paragraph is really like a text code." Lu Xiuwen said as he took a pen to mark out a paragraph of base code.

"Yes, I found this paragraph that was repeated three times, and it really looks like a text code. However, it is not yet certain about the structure of the text of this civilization, and it is not known whether this is a word or a word. Another researcher discussed.

Even on Earth, there are many types of writing.

For example, in Chinese characters and English, a Chinese character is a character, and multiple characters form a word.

Whereas, English is made up of letters that make up words, and individual letters basically have no meaning.

Due to the complete lack of understanding of meteorite civilizations, it is impossible to determine what structure the characters of meteorite civilizations are, and naturally it is impossible to determine whether this paragraph of base coding represents a word, a word, or a more condensed meaning.

"If you want to know this, it's not too difficult, just find out the same base code first." Lu Xiuwen said.

"You can't just look at it with a human eye, right?" Fang Yuan saw that they were discussing lively, and felt that this kind of work efficiency was outrageously low.

Lu Xiuwen smiled and said, "Of course this is impossible, the base code of the electronic file has been sent to the computer department for analysis, and the results will be sent back later." Before we do that, let's talk about it. ”

Fang Yuan nodded, and also felt that it was impossible for scientists from the Academy of Military Sciences to do such a thankless thing.

However, it is always okay to discuss it before the results of the computer's analysis come out.

"I found five of the same base codes yesterday, and they are repeated very regularly, so I think it's a text message left by intelligent species, I'll take a look...... Yes, it will be repeated every other paragraph. Fang Yuan pointed to a piece of base code and said.

Not long after several people discussed, the preliminary analysis report of base coding from the computer department was sent over.

Niu Dazhi leaned in again and asked, "What did the meteorite civilization say?" Is it a call for help? ”

Eve started rolling her eyes again.

Lu Xiuwen carried forward the excellent quality of being a professor and patiently explained: "This is only a preliminary report, which summarizes the characteristics of base coding, and as for what these base codes represent, this needs to be slowly deciphered by a supercomputer." ”

Since the writing and language of humans and meteorite civilizations are completely different.

Therefore, the text information left by the meteorite civilization is actually equivalent to encrypted information, which needs to be deciphered by a supercomputer.

However, these text messages should not have undergone advanced encryption, so it will not be too difficult to decipher, but it is not something that can be completed in a day or two.

The report was printed for several minutes, and several people present were holding the report and discussing it while reading it.

"Similar to what we speculated, these bases are encoded, and they are indeed regular. From the preliminary coding point of view, these base codes should be recorded as 16 bits as a unit. Lu Xiuwen looked at the report and felt that there were a few students here who didn't know much about genetics, so the teacher's habit was set on and he began to lecture.

On the report, the repeated base codes are listed, and you can see that some base codes are repeated very many times, even hundreds of times.

"This base code is repeated hundreds of times, and each time it is 16 bits, which is almost certain that it should represent a word, or a word. It seems that the writing of this civilization has similar characteristics to that of human beings. Lu Xiuwen said.

"It's not surprising, after all, it's a terrestrial planet, it's also carbon-based life, and it's normal for languages to have similar characteristics." Fang Yuan echoed.
