Chapter 10: Two Messages
The meeting dispersed like this, everyone was in doubt, everyone was not at peace. Now they have no other choice but to wait.
Liu Xuan followed Professor Ma back to the place where he worked just now, and when he picked up his father's notes again, his mood was completely different, he had already asked Professor Ma about Liu Qingyun's aerospace mission, and Professor Ma couldn't say it, just said that it was a great attempt, but the result was unsatisfactory.
Walking out of the research institute, it was already evening, and the holographic projection of the city outside was also very real, projecting the beautiful scenery of dusk into the sky, the more he knew about this place, the more frightened Liu Xuan became. Although it is hundreds of meters underground, the stars in the sky at night are real, which are filmed by the high-resolution cameras and space cameras outside and transmitted to the computer here in real time, directly projected into the sky, which is very magical.
With the help of his own memory, Liu Xuan turned left and right in this strange city, and returned to his own room, the inside of the room was still the same, as simple as ever, Liu Xuan didn't want to do anything, so he just lay down on the bed, since he came, this thing came one after another, and every time he found it was so surprising.
Liu Xuan didn't want anything, so he entered the dream.
"Di Di Di ......."
Early in the morning, when Liu Xuan was still sleeping, a message came from the bracelet, it was a text message, only a few words: Hurry to the research room. At the same time, all of the staff in the field received this message.
Liu Xuan didn't fall asleep until three or four o'clock in the morning in a daze last night, and he was very sleepy, but after seeing the news, he immediately came to his senses, and quickly put on his clothes and ran to the research room.
On the way, Liu Xuan hadn't forgotten to buy breakfast and eat while walking, he was so hungry that he barely ate yesterday.
The familiar elevator, Liu Xuan has already asked how to use it, enter the password, the elevator is running, and he came to the research room, at this time Liu Xuan just ate the last bite of breakfast.
The scene was exactly the same as when Liu Xuan first came to the office that day, a group of people gathered around the observer, staring carefully at the computer screen.
Liu Xuan hurriedly squeezed in, and sure enough, the computer screen was beating characters, these characters were different from the previous two times, and the character display at this time had entered the end, Liu Xuan could see that the format of these characters was almost exactly the same as the previous two, so that he could be sure that this time the message was in response to the last message.
"How's that, can you be sure?" Li Ping stood next to her and asked the observer. Clearly, she wanted the observer to determine the exact location of the thing next to Jupiter.
"Yes, I'm going to do a 3D calculation, it will take some time, but the information is enough." The observer affirmed.
"Okay, as soon as possible." Li Ping urged, then turned his head to Professor Ma and said, "Professor Ma, let's start preparing now, once the location of that thing is determined, observe it directly." ”
Professor Ma nodded, found the computer closest to the observer and began to contact Jupiter III.
Everything was in full swing, and it only took a few hours for them to see the mysterious thing. They actually have an answer in their hearts, and the only answer to what can instantly transmit confidence from a long distance, but they can't believe that that thing will really appear in the solar system.
Didi .......
Familiar voice, Liu Xuan thought it was the bracelet that came again, but he raised his wrist, didn't see a new message reminder on the bracelet, looked up at everyone, but found that everyone's expressions were wrong, their eyes were all looking at the observer's display screen, at this time, on the screen, new characters were beating.
Another piece of new news!
Liu Xuan was startled, and he also stretched his neck to look carefully, originally he thought it was a new appearance language, but what was displayed on the screen turned out to be their own words. This time it is obviously different from the original, not only in terms of text, but also in terms of format, and this time the message is only one sentence from beginning to end.
"Interpret the treaty and value the speed of light."
It's just eight words, but it shocks people, what does this mean, and where does this letter come from? Why use the human language?
Even the observers themselves were stunned.
"Where is the location of this letter?" Li Ping asked anxiously beside him.
"Yes....... It came from that thing, and there is no specific location. "High-performance computers that observers have relied on all their lives now can't believe it.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, there are indeed some scientific hypotheses that can explain these situations, but those are all hypotheses, and this hypothesis must be based on the true appearance of that thing.
"I've decided on the location, next to Europa, all the time moving with Europa." Just when everyone was anxious to know the answer, the results of the observers finally came out.
There is no need for Li Ping to urge him again, Professor Ma has already used the computer to input instructions and mobilize the "Jupiter III" satellite to observe Europa, because the distance is so far away, even if it is light, it will take a few minutes, and now he is in a hurry, so he can only wait.
"How much antimatter do we have?" Liu Xuan suddenly asked Li Ping.
"We don't have ready-made antimatter, we can only make it ourselves, and the production reserve of antimatter has been monopolized by the weapons manufacturing industry, and we all know that the main research weapon now is antimatter weapons." Li Ping's introduction is very detailed, in short, in one sentence: reserved, no, want, make it yourself.
Liu Xuan was speechless for a while, if you want to use that thing, antimatter is indispensable.
"Let's talk about this letter that we can understand." Li Ping saw that everyone didn't speak, so she had to propose herself.
"This is a reminder that we need to pay attention to the research of light-speed spacecraft." ‘
"If the first sentence is true, it can be determined that the three letters we received are all treaties, and the person who sent the message has already parsed it."
…….
After Li Pingyi's proposal, everyone started to talk about it, Liu Xuan listened carefully next to him, nodded from time to time, and pulled his hair.
Liu Xuan had already summed up a few points in his heart, once the identity of that thing was confirmed, then the solar system in the most inconspicuous place in the galaxy would not be too safe, and now he could only hope that the civilizations of other galaxies had not reached that advanced level.
"The images are back." Professor Ma's voice was not loud, but it brought some noisy discussions to an abrupt end, and everyone's eyes were on the computer screen.
There, a black-and-white photograph was slowly emerging from top to bottom, not very clear, but almost enough to determine the identity of the thing.
