"Dr. Zhuge Yun, can I tell you now, do you have any opinions on those symbols?" Mark asked after Newton was about to enter the planet's low-altitude orbit.

He was stunned for a few seconds before he said slowly, "I've already said everything I know?" What more do you want to know? ”

"How do you know about those symbols, in such an unbelievable way? It's like, like you already knew! ”

"Who knows." Zhuge Yun tapped his head with a finger and said slowly: "It's just a reasonable speculation." Maybe I came across something like this when I was studying an ancient tribal language, or maybe it was a gut feeling, who knows? And it just came to my head......"

Zhuge Yun knew that the information that poured into his brain at that time, even if he said it, they would not believe it. Even he couldn't believe it!

After a pause, he saw Mark's widening eyes, and he was still suspicious, so he said, "You probably forgot, I didn't come up with this alone, Dr. Su Qingyu also helped everyone make a reasonable guess." ”

"No, that's different!"

Mark shook his head, stared at Zhuge Yun and said, "Dr. Su just made some logical attempts, but you said the name of that thing, it's called 'Old Seal', right?" How do you explain this? ”

"The name doesn't matter, even if I say another name, you'll still have questions like that, right? In fact, I'm not sure in which ancient book I've seen something like this before, and then I said it in passing, and that's it. ”

Zhuge Yun shrugged his shoulders after speaking, his eyelids drooped, and his emaciated face seemed to look very pale in the boat.

Mark glanced at him thoughtfully, still in doubt, but said no more.

……

The brains on the Newton don't have the computing power of Adam, because the ship doesn't need to sustain a large and complex ecosystem.

Compared to the mother ship, the Newton is a medium-sized gathering ship like a small sailing ship, while the Pacific is a giant cruise ship.

The brain model on this ship is MAX-6000, which is used to control everything on the interplanetary spacecraft, which is more than enough for the short-distance voyage "Newton", not to mention that in the planetary orbit, "Adam" can directly control the brain here and share data.

After entering the low-altitude orbit, everyone on board the "Newton" began to go about their own work.

After almost 4 hours of drifting in a low-altitude orbit, each of them carried out their work in an orderly manner.

Qilin and Mark were busy analyzing the feedback data from the planetary table, while Su Qingyu was preparing to monitor the small amount of resources collected by the two collection boxes, and Zhuge Yun had been studying the images and waveforms sent back by those small probes.

Everything went according to plan and went smoothly. For 220 hours, Newton had to send out round-trip collection boxes to collect enough hydrogen and nitrogen.

If it weren't for the shocking discoveries they had seen on the mothership, they would have to orbit the planet in low altitude until the collection was complete and then return to the Pacific.

However, there are no absolutes.

Now they obviously can't do this anymore.

After nearly an hour of discussion, it was finally decided how to get to the surface of the planet, and a road map was drawn up, the ruins were inspected, and the stone statues and many more unknown creations were analyzed up close.

Although the "Newton" has an intelligent brain to control everything, there must also be a person left on board.

This is an unwritten rule on starships for a long time, and the origin of this tradition may not be traceable for a long time, but it is said to have originated in the Age of Discovery, when there must be someone on board.

This is not a distrust of the brain, but a sense of self-security at the bottom of the human race.

"Well, except for Dr. Zhuge Yun, he has to decipher and identify those strange symbols. The three of us came to draw lots to decide who would stay, uh! Or do you both volunteer to keep one? I'd like to go there and actually inspect it. ”

When he said this, Qi Lin pursed his lips, and his eyes rolled upward, as if he didn't care about himself.

This action obviously did not escape Su Qingyu's eyes.

It was a joking gesture, but the only woman on board didn't say yes.

"Oh—you're like saying that Mark and I have to keep one and leave yourself out, which is not okay. Dr. Zhuge Yun doesn't need to draw lots, I think no one will object, but you can't, let's draw lots to decide! Although Su Qingyu knew that this was a joke, he still deliberately put on a straight face.

"I'm just suggesting, suggesting. Don't take it seriously! ”

Qi Lin was obviously in awe of this female doctor with high emotional intelligence, who wore a variety of academic titles and could also read minds.

The results of the draw came out, leaving the one who had been silent, Mark.

"Alright, alright, you guys go! Let me be alone here, and you can go and uncover the miracle, and I wish you all the best on this trip. Mark shook his head and said helplessly.

The group decided to set off within 2 hours and land near the white hemisphere ruins of the asteroid after they were busy with their work.

If the collection goes well, after 24 to 36 hours, set off to the Black Hemisphere site.

Zhuge Yun has already calculated, before setting off, he must push the gravitational wave generator into the close orbit of the planet to complete his hidden mission.

Although this is a secret mission, he can openly carry out the launch on the grounds of scientific research needs.

"Guys, I'm about to do a research job, and this is the mission given to me by the Planetary Council, to launch a small gravitational-wave device that will be a permanent companion to this planet."

The nails of Zhuge Yun's little thumb flicked slightly, and he brushed his hair with his hand.

"Oh, feel free, Dr. Zhuge Yun! That's your task, no one will interfere, you don't have to go into such detail with us......" Qi Lin said indifferently.

Mark and Su Qingyu also said they had no objections.

The female doctor thought about it carefully, and asked half-jokingly: "This task seems to be a kind of oath?" ”

Several people, of course, understood what she meant, and swore that humans had been here before.

This kind of thing is indeed normal for humans - after all, it has been done several times.

In 1974, the Arecibo radio telescope was remodeled to celebrate the creation of a radio message through which globular cluster M13 was targeted.

The information exposed to human beings is that the most important atoms for life are hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorus; The genetic material of our life is DNA, and DNA is a double helix structure; The average height of an adult here is about 1760 mm; The total population of the planet is 4 billion; We live on the 3rd planet of the solar system......

And in 1977, people simply made a physical object - a gold record.

The Voyager 1 probe, carrying a gold-plated copper pavement record, sailed out of the solar system. The album, known as the "Traveler's Gold Record", contains 115 images of analog signals, images of men and women, coordinates of the earth, photographs of life and nature, photographs of food, water, X-rays, DNA schemes, and human evolution, greetings in 55 languages, 12 minutes of earth sounds, and 90 minutes of music.

Today, it is calculated that the "Voyager Gold Record" has entered the innermost boundary of the Milky Way......

In 2008, the 50th anniversary of NASA's birth, humanity will be the Beatles' AC

oss the U

ive

SE was launched into space as radio waves to Polaris over a period of 431 light-years and is expected to arrive 450 Earth years later.

……

Everyone had no objections, Zhuge Yun nodded calmly, and quickly set up the launch procedure.

After a few minutes, the gravitational wave generator was smoothly pushed into the planet's orbit.

If nothing goes wrong, the thing will be continuously powered by its built-in radiation receiver and emit gravitational waves every 48 hours. Until the battery is depleted, or until the end of the design life after 600 years.
