At about 11 o'clock in the evening, the video conference lasted for 12 hours and finally ended under the physical and mental exhaustion of the scientists of the Ligo project team.

The video was interrupted, and Lu Yi looked at the few lines of data he analyzed and was silent for a while, and said: "Our laser interferometer gravitational-wave observatory must be sent to space as soon as possible." ”

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Qing, who was sorting out the note data next to him, heard Lu Yi's anxious voice, turned his head and asked, "Did you find anything related to the noise data of the equipment you asked Ligo?" ”

After half a day of video conference, Zhang Qing noticed that almost all of the questions asked by Lu Yi were related to the data that was marked as equipment noise by the ligo project team, and even finally asked ligo for all the similar data that had been detected in the past few years.

So now when she heard Lu Yi suddenly say that she wanted to send the gravitational wave observatory into space as soon as possible, she immediately reacted that Lu Yi should have noticed what she had discovered.

"Look at these rows of data."

Lu Yi sifted out a few lines of all the similar data that had been detected in the past few years sent from the back of the ligo project, and motioned for Zhang Qing to take a look.

"It's very messy, it's a little different from the general ambient noise data, but there are no obvious repetitive characteristics, and such data is generally classified as equipment noise."

Zhang Qing looked at it carefully for a while, and finally shook her head.

Disturbed by environmental noise, except for the 2016 black hole collision, which caused a large "increase" in the strength of the gravitational wave signal, which allowed Ligo to confirm the existence of gravitational waves, the rest of the detection experiments actually did not even allow the Ligo project team to accurately determine whether the data they collected was gravitational wave data or environmental noise.

You can only preliminarily screen and compare to find out the data with a high repetition rate or other obvious characteristics, and then determine whether these data are gravitational wave data emitted by a celestial body.

This is because gravitational wave data emitted by celestial bodies is more stable than the ambient noise that fluctuates around them, and will not change for decades.

"That's because the ambient noise that Ligo receives on the ground is too large, resulting in a small range of detectable gravitational wave bands, and only a small fraction of these rows of fluctuation data can be collected."

Lu Yi sighed, then entered a few lines of calculations, refreshed the data again, and said, "You can take a look at it now." ”

"It's!"

Zhang Qing couldn't help but be stunned, the data displayed in front of him after the conversion of the calculation formula was no longer messy, but could see obvious regular changes, but unfortunately the data was not complete, just like a piece of music score only intercepted a few syllables.

"Tianwan four directions, this is the second direction of the south gate, this is the direction of the Aquila galaxy......"

Zhang Qing subconsciously looked at the signal source detected at the time of these lines of data, because the intensity was too subtle and the noise interference distance could not be measured, but the direction of the signal source was still clearly distinguishable.

It's the same as when the light of a star travels too far and the information is lost, but the direction is still recognized.

"Lu Lu, what do you think this is?" Looking at the signal sources in all directions of the whole heavenly domain, Zhang Qing subconsciously asked.

"I don't know, it may be the laws of time and space that we don't know, or it may be the traces left by aliens."

Lu Yi shook his head, it was precisely because he couldn't see it that he wanted to send his gravitational wave observatory into space as soon as possible.

Only the quieter environment of space can listen more clearly to the signal from distant time and space, so as to try to decipher the information above.

As for the theoretical knowledge involved in asking the system, these paragraphs of data? The 100 million based points directly made him give up the idea of seeking answers from the system.

"Traces left by aliens?"

Zhang Qing couldn't believe it, although these gravitational wave data were only fleeting, the intensity of this fleeting performance was all black hole-level.

Spread in all directions of the entire celestial domain, there are similar gravitational wave signals in each direction, if these are the traces left by aliens, then the Earth is within the territory of an alien civilization whose energy has reached the energy level of a black hole? Or is there such a terrifying alien civilization anywhere in the whole heavenly domain?

"I looked at the data, and this anomaly data has been available since the successful construction of the Ligo Observatory, and it is precisely because it has always existed that the Ligo project team cannot determine that this is gravitational wave data, so it will be marked as special equipment noise."

Lu Yi closed the notebook, took a deep breath and said, "Whether it is the gravitational fluctuations caused by our unknown laws of time and space, or the traces left by aliens, it has existed for more than 10 years, and even the eternal times have always existed.

From the perspective of probability, when an event does not affect us in the long term, there is no need to worry about affecting us in the short term.

So don't worry about this problem in a short time, why don't you go back first, and you have to go to school tomorrow to pretend to be forced. ”

"If those media reporters know that you have the idea of pretending to be forced at the briefing conference, I guess you will make headlines."

"It's like tomorrow's news headlines aren't me, believe it or not, tomorrow's headlines must be how Chief Engineer Lu is about the nuclear fusion project, and a group of senior sisters will shout that Lu Lu is handsome when they see me!"

Lu Yi put away the information and data on the table, and boasted without the slightest blush.

"Yes, Lu Lu is so handsome."

Zhang Qing rolled her eyes angrily, and then asked curiously: "Lu Lu, you said that if there are really aliens, what kind of attitude will they have towards us?"

From the perspective of science and technology, when civilization develops to a certain extent, energy and matter are the same, and hydrogen atoms are not fundamentally different from uranium metal.

In this way, there is no limited resources envisaged in science fiction, because the whole universe is a resource, and even time and space can be used as energy and then converted into matter, so there will be no situation where high-level civilizations strangle and restrict low-level civilizations to prevent the other party from developing and grabbing resources.

Against the backdrop of unlimited resources and energy, the atmosphere between civilizations should tend to be peaceful, and it is more in line with the interests of civilizations that everyone can communicate with each other and make progress together. ”

There are so many countries on the planet fighting around, it is because everyone is trapped in one planet, and resources are limited.

Galactic civilizations will have wars within the galaxy, and that is also because the resources of a galaxy are also limited, and everyone has to compete for resources from each other.

However, the interstellar civilization that has developed to the point of being able to control hadrons and interfere with space-time and space for curvature navigation has energy and resources throughout the universe, and there is no need for war over so-called resources, on the contrary, everyone will be more inclined to peaceful exchanges.

"I don't know, we have too little information about aliens, and we haven't left the planet yet, and the same civilization as us is probably guessing about the situation in the outside world like us, but those civilizations that have been wandering between the stars have no way of knowing what they are thinking."

Lu Yi shook his head and said: "Intelligent life is not subjective wisdom at all, but desire.

Only those who have wisdom and desire are called life, and those who have wisdom and no desire are called intelligent computer systems.

If there is desire, there will be emotion, and if there is emotion, there will be venting.

The higher the civilization, the longer the lifespan, and perhaps some members of the advanced civilization will be bored with living too long and start slaughtering the lower civilization for fun.

It's the same as when we were bored or angry when we were young, we would take boiling water and water the ant nest.

So the first rule before the outside world information is to hide yourself, this is not a dark forest, but you don't know if your neighbor happens to be in a bad mood, and you just happen to run into a gun when you are about to find someone to fight or abuse civilization to vent your emotions. ”
