"My biologist friend once speculated that extraterrestrial life forms use their brains at a much higher rate than humans, so they have created technologies and civilizations that we can't imagine."

"Take the familiar human brain as a simple example, everyone has about tens of billions of brain cells, each brain cell has about hundreds of cranial nerves, each nerve has about hundreds of synapses, and each synapse has hundreds or even thousands of proteins. A brain cell functions roughly as much as a mainframe computer, and a synapse inside is equivalent to a chip in the computer. We can simply calculate that the human brain is equivalent to hundreds of billions or even trillions of chips. ”

"At present, the world's largest parallel computer is our country's white strategic acceleration computer (hite ASCI), which only has 8,000 chips, which is about 100 million times different from the human brain, which is about 8 to 9 orders of magnitude."

"The computing power of a computer is generally calculated by how many addition operations can be done in a second, and the fastest is currently ...... Huaguo's 'Tianhe-2'. Of course, Huaguo hasn't announced it yet, don't ask me how I know. George Mather smiled, "I estimate the peak computing speed of Tianhe-2 to be more than 500 million times per second, and the continuous calculation speed will not be less than 300 million billions of double-precision floating point operations. Even so, it is far from the computing speed of the human brain, about 20 orders of magnitude. ”

"Comparing computers with the human brain is to make everyone more intuitive to understand the gap between human beings and extraterrestrial lifeforms, and the reason for this gap is the utilization rate of the brain, of course, this conclusion is based on our current level of understanding of the human brain, it is not necessarily correct, but we have no other answer."

"Straight down to business," George Mather said as he finished his interjection, bringing the conversation back to what was being shown on the screen. "They have no intention of establishing some kind of contact or cooperation with humanity, because this extraterrestrial life has mentioned that their government will not send representatives to meet our leaders. Of course, if we were to do it, we wouldn't want to talk to the ant king in an ant burrow. ”

"When we asked them about their purpose in focusing on the Earth, their answer was, 'Preserve and protect the ownership of their own territory.'" From this reply, I understand that the Earth is also part of their 'same territory'. ”

"It has given a 'clumsy, small-scale, planet-destroying facility' to our government and military." George Mather said to the audience, "That's not a good review, is it?" ”

"They have been observing the Earth and not letting the earthlings know about their existence, and they will not actively contact the earthlings because this behavior is forbidden." George Mather paused and spread his hands again, "Some people must be puzzled, since active contact with earthlings is forbidden, why this extraterrestrial life will accept our interviews and release their 'minds' or consciousnesses to the people we participate in. Actually, I don't know why, of course, this alien life form has long since died, so the only way to uncover the mystery is the words they left behind. ”

"Extraterrestrial lifeforms' visits to Earth are periodic and repetitive, and they have known about Earth much earlier than humans, and when asked what they know about the history of Earth's civilization, it answers 'not very interested'. Its answers to our questions are vague, but my guess is that they are not really interested in the history of the Earth, or that they are not paying much attention to the Earth. ”

"It 'says' when it describes its homeland to us: 'A place with a civilized society, a culture, a history. Huge planets. An abundant, eternal resource. Order, rights. Knowledge, wisdom. Two stars, three moons'. ”

"We are also trying to understand how far their social civilization has developed, and the answer it gives is, 'It's ancient, trillions of years. Always. Beyond the rest. Plan. Schedule. Improvement. Victory. Higher goals, concepts. Yes, it conveys ideas that translate in our language into these words, or the words that are closest to each other. ”

"Do you think they have a high opinion of themselves and are very proud? They do have the capital to be proud of. ”

"Their answer to the type of society in their own kingdom is, 'Order. Right. Forever future. Dominate. Grow. These words are the most appropriate words that Mark Eroy found based on the thoughts transmitted to her by the alien lifeform, and Mark Arrowy said after the interview that the alien life form had strong mood swings when answering this question, its mood seemed very excited, very cheerful, and it used its mind to convey an emotion full of joy and joy, but Mark Arrowy said that she felt very nervous at the time. ”

"The next question was to ask them if they knew that there were other intelligent beings in the universe, and the answer was, 'Every place.'" We are the greatest, the highest level of all. This alien life form is very confident and proud of its civilization and strength, as if it were nature, but it is also understandable that strong nations and races will always have a greater sense of superiority and pride in the face of weak nations and races. ”

"These are the exposures of the official perspective of the United States, and I have the materials from the perspective of the parties in my hands," Zhao Kang was fascinated when he saw that Zhang Dada listened, afraid that he would be led astray by that Dr. George Mather. "If you're interested, come back to me."

"Okay," Zhang Dada nodded excitedly.

George Mather continued to expand the content on the screen on stage, and Zhao Kang's mind had already flown to the Shenyang. He was relieved when he learned that Cai Wenyue had boarded the ship, and now seeing that the content announced by George Mather was just a deleted version of the information that Liu Jiajun had already obtained for him, he was no longer much interested, and he really wanted to go to the Shenyang to get in touch with Cai Wenyue to see if he could gain something from that man.

Wei Qiming's death has been confirmed, but the news from the Shenyang has been suppressed by Pang Zhike, and it has not been disclosed to others in the station. He feared that the members of the delegation from Chongming would find trouble with Houston if they learned of the situation, and that it would not be easy to deal with if the situation expanded. Therefore, it was decided to wait until the exchange meeting was closed, and then make the news public when everyone boarded the ship and returned home.

After the second phase of the meeting, Zhao Kang discussed with Liu Jiajun and Meng Jie, and planned to apply to Pang Zhike to go to the port.

"This meeting of the people of the United States is not interesting, it is said that it is an open exchange, but there are a lot of things hidden in the pocket, and the sincerity is 'touching'," Zhao Kang said, "I plan to go to the port and talk to Cai Wenyue on the Shenyang." ”

"I want to meet him too," Liu thought for a moment, "and he has been in Houston for a long time and knows the place very well, which should help me in my next move." ”

"What do you want to do?" Meng Jie asked.

"Kill," Liu Jiajun's eyes showed a slight chill, "traitors who betray the country and their compatriots do not deserve to live." ”

"You want to kill Zhang Wenzhuo?" Liu Jiajun's words surprised both Zhao Kang and Meng Jie, "It's hard to do it here, right?" You used to go to the data center building with great painstaking efforts, but now you want to kill someone who is heavily protected, I think it's too risky. ”

"That's why I'm going to meet Cai Wenyue, I believe he will hate the guy who betrayed him, and he wants to get rid of him quickly." Liu Jiajun said, "I don't know if the state will take action against Zhang Wenzhuo, I want to kill him as a private act." ”

"Don't take any chances, although I know you're awesome," Meng Jie persuaded, "We'll almost stop the loss if we rescue Cai Wenyue, I don't want you to get in again." ”

"Don't worry, if things can't be done, I won't force it." Liu Jiajun nodded.

"I was a little worried that after Cai Wenyue's identity was exposed, Houston would ban us from entering and leaving the institute, but now that he is on the Shenyang, I believe that the people of the United States should not obstruct anything more, as long as Captain Pang approves, we will leave immediately." Zhao Kang couldn't wait to meet this compatriot who had only a few faces, and he was both interested in the information Cai Wenyue had in his hands, and he was very curious about his experience in Houston's undercover work.

"Are you going to a warship?" Pang Zhike was a little surprised by Zhao Kang and the others' plans, but after pondering for a while, he agreed, "Is the safety on the road guaranteed?" ”

"Yes, please rest assured," Zhao Kang nodded, and reported to Pang Zhike about Meng Jie and Liu Jiajun's travels.

"Captain Pang, we also obtained some information in Houston, because we didn't know who the spies in the regiment were, so we didn't dare to hand in the information, but now we can give it to you, and then bring a copy to Captain Xiao on the warship by the way." Zhao Kang continued, "I also plan to communicate with Cai Wenyue to see what I can gain from him. ”

"If you can ensure safety, I will also communicate with Lao Xiao and ask him to send someone to pick you up near the port." Pang Zhike agreed to Zhao Kang's plan and approved the three of them to leave the base. Next, Zhao Kang and others went down to prepare for the temporary departure of the institute, while Pang Zhike arranged for someone to go to Houston to inform the delegation about the departure of the personnel.

Just as Zhao Kang and Meng Jie were making preparations, Zhang Dada came to Zhao Kang's residence to ask him for information about the perspective of the person in the interview with extraterrestrial lifeforms.

"Brother Da, we are about to leave for the 'Shenyang', and the detailed information about the interview with the alien life form can only be shown to you when we come back, I am really a little sorry," Zhao Kang had promised Zhang Dada this matter at the meeting before, but now it was a little unlucky, so he was a little sorry in his heart.

"Are you going on a warship?" Zhang Dada was a little surprised, "We have a buddy who drove to save Cai Wenyue before, and now he is also on the warship, you get there, help me see his condition, there has been no news of him for a few days, and a few brothers here miss him." ”

"Do you mean Brother Wei Qiming?" Meng Jie asked, he was quite impressed by that honest man, and the scene of Tuo Wei Qiming looking for a car to save people in the restaurant that day immediately came to mind.
