Chapter 742: Preliminary Decipherment

"In fact, it is not too difficult to decipher the text of the meteorite civilization, in fact, the most worrying place is the genetic mutation of the microorganisms themselves." Lang Tongguang expressed concern.

And that's exactly what happened.

If you can get the correct code, it is only a matter of time before you can decipher the meaning of the words.

However, these microbes do not know how long they have existed in the universe.

Maybe it's millions of years, it could be hundreds of millions of years.

In such a long period of time, microorganisms will inevitably mutate in the process of reproduction.

Once the base of the recorded text is mutated, then the text information is changed.

Lu Xiuwen smiled heartily: "Professor Lang, you don't need to worry about this. The meteorite civilization has also taken this issue into account, so the written messages they left behind are actually repeated three times.

"The base code we handed in has been confirmed many times, and the fragments with variations and errors have been marked.

"On the whole, the preservation of the information is relatively complete, with a completeness of more than 98.2%, so the complete information can be obtained after deciphering."

"That's good. I'm also worried that if it was left hundreds of millions of years ago, I might not get complete information. Lang Tongguang nodded, relieved.

For documents, 98% of the preservation is very good, after all, it may be written information left hundreds of millions of years ago.

Niu Dazhi scratched his scalp and said: "These microorganisms were left hundreds of millions of years ago, how is it possible?" ”

"What's so strange that there are similar microbes on Earth, have you ever heard of tardigrades? It is said that tardigrades can survive on Mars and will not die if they are dried. There are powerful microorganisms on the earth, and it is strange for meteorite civilizations to find a survivable microorganism to record information? "Eve is always ambitious.

Lu Xiuwen explained with a smile: "Eve is right, the microorganisms found in the meteorite are indeed very survivable, and it can be said that they are not inferior to water bears.

"With the strong vitality of this microorganism, it is possible to say that it existed hundreds of millions of years ago to the present."

"I really want to know what information the meteorite civilization has left behind." Eve clenched her fists, looking forward to it.

The decipherment work of the Academy of Military Sciences has begun, and Lu Xiuwen contacts the supercomputing department every day to inquire about the progress of the decipherment.

……

A week later.

The decipherment of the base code has yielded preliminary results.

The information about the meteorite civilization is really curious, so as soon as the results came out, those in the military scientific research class who had the authority to know about this matter all ran to the biological research institute to listen to the results.

Even Niu Dazhi, who was not interested in the original, also had a strong curiosity, and would rather not sleep lazy, but also ran over.

"Professor, how's it going? Is it deciphered? Eve was anxious, and as soon as she saw Lu Xiuwen, she kept asking.

"The decipherment work has already yielded preliminary results, and although it is not yet final, a part of the text can already be seen." Lu Xiuwen gave an affirmative answer.

"Let's talk about it, what did the meteorite civilization say? How did they perish? Was it also the destruction of civilization that came to Palese? Did the planet impact shatter into so many pieces? Eve asked a series of questions, but she didn't give Lu Xiuwen a chance to breathe.

"Don't worry, don't worry, the analysis report has been printed, and I will send it to you later." Lu Xiuwen brought Fang Yuan and the others to the office and handed the printed analysis report to the others.

When several people got the decipherment report, they immediately opened it and read it.

Lu Xiuwen had already read the report yesterday and already knew the contents of it: "The results of the decipherment are similar to what we discussed last week.

"This information is indeed left by the meteorite civilization, and it is the same as we expected.

"In this text message, the content of the meteorite civilization is recorded first, and what kind of civilization they are.

"Since we don't know what the language of the meteorite civilization is like, we can only guess the text from the code, so the transliteration does not exist.

There is a word that represents their civilization, which is repeated many times in the literature, but the exact meaning is not known for the time being.

"Perhaps this word, which represents the name of their civilization, is a separate word.

"Therefore, for the time being, we still call this civilization the Meteorite Civilization, but they don't call it that name."

In the genes of meteorite microorganisms, the number of words recorded is about 20,000, which is actually not much.

It can also be seen from this point that the genetic technology level of the meteorite civilization has not reached the level of defying the sky.

And in order to ensure the accuracy of the recorded information, these textual messages were repeated three times.

Therefore, being able to record 20,000 words is already quite good.

The length of 20,000 words is actually not long, and it is impossible to record the culture and technology of the meteorite civilization, but only some of the most important things.

Among them, there are certainly words introducing the meteorite civilization itself.

Lu Xiuwen continued: "Judging from the deciphered text, it is in line with our conjectural conclusion.

"The meteorite civilization is indeed a carbon-based civilization, and it is the native civilization of the solar system.

"The most important point is that, judging from the distance data mentioned in the literature, the orbital position of the parent star they mentioned is exactly in the asteroid belt.

"Therefore, from this point of view, it is already certain that there was indeed a planet in the orbit of the asteroid belt.

"And this planet is a terrestrial planet that has given birth to life and a civilization.

"From the perspective of the scientific and technological level of civilization, the civilization level has exceeded 1.0, and the civilization level is higher than ours.

In the end, however, they did not escape the destruction of civilization.

"From this point of view, although their civilization level exceeds 1.0, it should not exceed much."

This speculation is reasonable.

First of all, the meteorite civilization has mastered the scientific and technological strength to record information in the genes of microorganisms, which shows that the genetic technology of the meteorite civilization is higher than that of human beings.

Judging from this technology alone, the technological level of the meteorite civilization should be above 1.0.

However, the meteorite civilization was finally destroyed along with their home star, which also shows that their technological level has not reached the level of leaving the solar system, at least not easily.

In fact, human civilization is now in this awkward hierarchy of civilization.

Although Huaxia has mastered controlled nuclear fusion technology, it has theoretically mastered the ability to leave the solar system.

But building a spaceship that flies out of the solar system and surviving outside the solar system are two different things entirely.

In fact, even if the whole country is mobilized to build a spaceship now, it will not be able to send many people.

There are still a lot of technical challenges to solve in order to survive on a spaceship.

In the end, the meteorite civilization did not escape the fate of being destroyed with the home planet, which also shows that their technological level has not yet reached the level of surviving outside the solar system.
