"Since we can't find it ourselves, have you tried to start with each other?" Zhou Xin asked, "When they communicate with each other, which frequency band do they use?" ”

"Of course I did." She replied loudly, and then she changed to a depressed tone, "But although the probe did receive some special signals, some of which even came directly from the places where the attackers were hiding under the seabed. However, further analysis shows that even if the signal originates from the same place, the frequency is not a fixed value, but changes over time. The signal received by the detector is more like noise than an ordered signal. ”

"It stands to reason that this shouldn't be possible." Spred pondered as he guessed, "If it's certain that it's a signal they use to communicate with each other, how can it be like noise." I wonder if they have processed the normal communication signal and hidden it in the noise, or simply used some special encoding method to directly adapt the original normal communication signal into the noise received by the detector. ”

"That's what people think." The little girl on the screen nodded, "But after a long analysis of the noise signal, people haven't found any pattern in it for the time being." At this point, she sighed, "If there is really valid information hidden in that noise, then the information encoding method used by the other party is definitely not any of the people know." ”

"Can't even you analyze how they code?" Dart asked, "Didn't you decipher the communications of other civilizations before?" ”

"It's not that it can't be." Atlas replied, "It's just that it will take quite some time to make such an analysis, and we don't have enough information about that civilization on the planet right now that we haven't even deciphered their words." Now that all of a sudden, it's hard to get people to analyze their radio communications—" she shook her head, "and it's hard to come up with anything." ”

This answer made everyone present fall into silence, and after a long time, Zhou Xin asked unwillingly, "Is there no way?" ”

"It's not like there's no way out at all." Atlas's answer immediately caught everyone's attention, and almost all eyes were on her, "If we can get their encoding methods directly from the other side's hands, then we can decipher the signal." ”

"That's what you say." After listening to his words, Spred looked a little frustrated, "The best way to get such important information is to have the probe go to the bottom of the sea where the attackers are hiding to investigate." But if we want to get in, we have to get their encoding before we can communicate with the probes who have entered it. Isn't that stuck in a dead end? ”

"Let's be honest – there's actually another way." No one noticed that as soon as Spred's words were finished, a hesitant look appeared on the little girl's face. It was a few seconds before she spoke.

"What's the solution?" At this time, Zhou Xin, who had been listening carefully to Atlas's answer, asked subconsciously.

"Leave the rest alone, just let the probe go in." Atlas gave a surprising answer.

"How can this work?" Everyone was slightly stunned, but it didn't take long for Spred to get excited, and he shouted, "How can we communicate with the probes who are going in if we do this?" Even Zhou Xin's face showed an incomprehensible look.

The little girl's next sentence was even more surprising, "Actually, people think that we don't need to communicate with the detector at all." Seeing that everyone didn't understand her thoughts at all, she explained in detail, "Although the detectors only use semi-intelligent programs, they still have basic judgment ability, especially when people are still taking time to optimize their semi-intelligent programs. As long as we can explain all the precautions to them clearly, even if they lack other people's control, or even lose contact, they feel that they can complete the task independently. You know, except in certain circumstances, people don't always maintain control of the detectors, but just give them a command and let them investigate on their own. ”

"But-" Even though Atlas gave a reasonable explanation, Zhou Xin still seemed a little uneasy.

"Nothing good but." The little girl reminded, "Brother Captain, have you forgotten? Isn't that how the probe works when people first come to the spacecraft? ”

Under her reminder, Zhou Xincai finally reacted, since Atlas joined, he did seem to rely on her a little too much, and this dependence even reached the point of distrusting other semi-intelligent programs. Thinking that when the little girl didn't come to the Voyager at the beginning, the probe just relied on the semi-intelligent program installed on her body to investigate independently, Zhou Xin's heart also made a decision.

While Zhou Xin was reflecting on himself, Spred asked, "But what if there is an accident during the investigation?" You know, we don't know anything about what's going on inside right now, and we don't know what will happen when the probe gets inside. For example, if a detector triggers an alarm during an investigation, will they be able to solve it on their own? There was a deep sense of unease in his words.

"Theoretically, the detector can handle such a problem, but Brother Spred, as you said, we don't know the situation inside at all now, so people can't make a 100% guarantee." Atlas replied, then adding, "Mainly because the situation is urgent, and if there is enough time, people can think of other solutions." ”

I have to say that what happened next was too coincidental, and as soon as the previous words were finished, Atlas reported in a slightly nervous tone: "Brother Captain, the probes patrolling around the mining site have found an attacker nearby. This sentence immediately made everyone's emotions tense, "But it seems that they are just cruising around, and they have no intention of attacking." But then, the little girl's addition made them breathe a sigh of relief......
