Chapter 799: Listener
Drip, drip, drip......
The familiar sound of the alarm clock, Faros opened his eyes dimly, stretched out his tail weakly, and turned off the switch of the alarm clock.
"Hah-yaw-"
"Damn, it's another working day." Subconsciously glancing at the schedule, Faos muttered slightly dissatisfied.
Having said that, Faros emerged from his bed and began to prepare for the arrival of a new day.
"I really don't want to work, when will I be like those people, don't work, and make money while lying down, alas......"
Put on your work clothes, tidy up properly, and leave the house.
Faros is not a man of great enthusiasm, but his work has a considerable impact on his own race and his own civilization, that is, listening to and interpreting extraterrestrial signals.
Thanks to his amazing talent in languages, Faos stood out from the crowd and got the job with a good salary.
Piloting a military airship assigned to him by the government, Faos traveled at supersonic speed to the place where he worked.
After about an hour of flight, Faos could already vaguely see the array of listening stations at the top of the mountain, and the radar stood on the mountain like a soldier standing guard.
"Good morning, Uncle Faos."
After entering the listening station, someone greeted Faos, and his voice was very immature, causing Faos to look at the other party in surprise.
The one who entered was his subordinate Maiko, who was holding his child, and it was the child in the other person's arms who had just greeted Faos.
"Maiko, you've brought the child here again, we're not a nursery here." Faos Road.
Although bringing the child here is not a big deal, the listening station is a semi-military facility after all, and if anything happens to the observation data, the person in charge of the Faos will be punished.
"Linda, she has something to do today, leaving Myne alone at home and not worrying, he always likes to run around, I will watch him here."
Maiko reluctantly explained, hoping that Faos would be accommodating.
Walking, Faros spoke to Maiko's child, "Little Maine, don't you mess with anything here, you know?" Otherwise, my father and uncle will be punished severely. β
"Well, I see, Uncle Faos, Myne won't mess with anything here." Myne nodded earnestly.
After admonishing them like this, the Faos and the others continued their usual work, recording the signals of extraterrestrial civilizations.
The work is not complicated, the recording is automatic by the machine, and the Faros are only responsible for the care, so when recording the alien signal, the Faros are actually very idle, and the really busy time is to decipher the work.
"Uncle Faos, what are these things?"
Ignorant, Myne pointed to the black round cakes piled up on the side, which were large in size, twice the size of Myne's own head.
Faros glanced at it and explained, "These are the histories of the universe. β
"Light departs from the star, interacts with matter and reflects in other directions, and along with it, it also carries information about matter that interacts with light, and these electromagnetic waves are the most true history of the universe."
Myne looked at the black round cakes, then at Guanos, and then puffed up.
"Uncle Faos is a liar."
"How did I lie to you?"
Faos was a little confused, he was telling the truth, why did he need to lie to people in this kind of thing?
Little Maine replied, "I've read history books, Main, history books are square, and the cosmic history you mentioned is a lump of discs, without pages, and very hard. β
"Poof, these things are the same as books, Maiko, you should give your children a good science popularization."
Faos, who could barely hold back his laughter, was a little helpless, so he had to ask Maiko to explain it to his child.
"Mayne, Uncle Faos is not lying, books use pen and ink as the medium of information recording, and disks use magnetic as the medium of information recording." Maike Road.
"Then last time, Uncle Faros said that your job is to watch aliens talk, and you are not lying to me, right?"
Mayne's words left Faos speechless, "...... Little Mayne, am I a big liar in your eyes? It makes me so sad. β
"You were originally, hmph, after I went back last time, I told my friends about watching aliens talk, and they were all laughing at me, how can I see what I say, I should only be able to listen."
"I'm talking to you now, uncle, you cover your ears, can you know what I'm talking about?"
Maine looked angry and inquiring, but with his young age, he only felt cute to Faos.
Faos thought for a moment and replied, "Okay, then I'll take you to see the aliens' speeches too." β
Maiko was stunned, and looked at Faros hesitantly.
"This ...... No problem? β
"Peace of mind, just take a look and expand the child's knowledge, as long as you don't mess around with the instrument and cause problems, it's not a big deal."
Faros waved his hand, signaling that it was not a big problem.
Using the remote control to call the home screen, Myne saw a picture of waves, the peaks and troughs of these waves are very sharp, and the first feeling to Myne is like the sharp teeth of a monster, and each height is different.
"Well, these fluctuating streaks are what the aliens say." Faos Road.
"I don't understand, what are the aliens saying?"
Myne scratched his head, looked distressed, and looked at his father as if asking for help.
"I don't know this yet, and it's very difficult to decipher." Maiko replied.
Since you don't know, how can you be sure that these are alien speeches? Myne thought strangely.
Children are naΓ―ve, and it is difficult for them to think more deeply about things, and they will ask any questions that come to mind.
Myne asked the two adults who were very knowledgeable in his eyes, "Then how do you know that these are aliens?" β
"Because some of the words have been deciphered, of course."
Faros summoned another alien language, which he had deciphered himself.
"This sentence, 'The mass says how the void of time changes, and the void of time says how the mass should move'." Faos Road.
"What do you mean?"
Maine looked at Faos for some reason, however, although Faos was a decipher, he used a literal translation of the text, and he couldn't quite understand what this sentence meant.
"I don't know, maybe it's explaining the principle of leverage, and the alien civilization that speaks may be thinking about how to pry the planet under its feet."
Faros is a good linguist, but not a great physicist, and he understands every word of emptiness, time, and mass, but when they are connected, they are confusing.
