Chapter 9: Two Hundred Bytes
A light intensity detector is an instrument used to measure the intensity of light, and it is common sense that it is not strange to install a light intensity detector on top of a device that simulates the surface environment of the sun. After all, the luminosity of the sun's surface is very strong, and the change of luminosity also means the change of some physical processes, so the existence of the light intensity detector is quite necessary.
However, it is a bit strange for a light intensity detector with such a high detection accuracy. Zhao Huasheng took a look at the parameters in the instrument, calculated it in his heart and came to a conclusion.
The result was that the light intensity detector could detect the luminosity of sunlight, even if it was just as much as a candle. In other words, even if the luminosity of the sun is reduced by the luminosity of a candle, the instrument can detect it.
What kind of concept is this? On the earth, which is 150 million kilometers away from the sun, the sun is still dazzling and cannot be seen directly, so how terrifying can the intensity of sunlight be on the surface of the sun? And such a terrifying luminosity, only the luminosity of a candle can be detected, how strong is the performance of this instrument?
It's unimaginable. What makes Zhao Huasheng even more incomprehensible is what Li Qi wants to do when he installs such a terrifying instrument here?
"Don't ask me, I don't know anything. Perhaps the psychology research team could find out what exactly Mr. Richie was going to do. As if he saw the doubt in Zhao Huasheng's eyes, Wang Tang said first.
"Perhaps...... Is there a correlation between the change in the radiation intensity of the sun at this moment and the change in luminosity on the surface of the sun? At a time when all of us were unaware of the solar crisis, Litchie sensed this by measuring the faint luminosity changes on the surface of the sun? What is the physical mechanism behind this, and what does the photometric change mean? Is there anyone in the research department doing research in this area? Zhao Huasheng asked.
"I've already debriefed on the situation, and soon someone will take over the research to assess the physics of what a small change in the sun's luminosity might have meant before the solar crisis." Wang Tang said, "After all, such an optical detector with incredible high precision hints at many things. But...... Don't get your hopes up. ”
"After all, this instrument only simulates the environment on the surface of the sun, and it is not the real solar environment inside. Therefore, the information obtained here is of limited use. Wang Tang took another puff of his cigarette, "I don't think this matter will help the physical world to study the sun, it will only help you solve the puzzle about Li Qi." ”
"I see." "Based on the available information, we know that Director Li Qi knew about the solar crisis at least a year ago, and that it was also a year ago that Director Li Qi began to pay attention to the faint luminosity changes on the surface of the sun, so it is reasonable to think that there is some kind of connection between these two events." I'll think about that carefully. ”
"Good." Wang Tang stood up, casually flicked the cigarette butt in his hand, and patted Zhao Huasheng on the shoulder: "Young man, work hard, if there is anything I can help with, come to me at any time." ”
With that, Wang Tang walked to the door and left here, and after Wang Tang's figure disappeared, his words floated over: "The information you need will be faxed to you later, and the person next to you has my contact information." ”
Meng Zhuo said indifferently: "I have the contact information of anyone in the world. I'm always available to you whenever you need it. ”
Meng Zhuo's status seems to be very high, and his ability seems to be described as supernatural. Let a man like Monjo follow himself twenty-four hours a day...... Zhao Huasheng once again realized how much the old man attached importance to him.
"Let's hope I don't let them down." Zhao Huasheng sighed secretly and turned around: "Let's go, let's go back too." ”
On this trip to the Stellar Physics Research Institute, apart from some more doubts, Zhao Huasheng did not gain anything. But it's also a good thing to have doubts, there are doubts, and then you can make progress by solving your doubts, and the most feared thing is that it is completely blank and I don't know how to start.
A little later, the information that Zhao Huasheng needed was transmitted through that computer.
There is nothing in the first document that deserves Zhao Huasheng's attention. There are some research materials on the surface environment of the sun, which may be useful in scientific research, but it is different for Zhao Huasheng.
What caught Zhao Huasheng's attention was the second piece of information.
"We examined all kinds of electronic devices that Li Qi used before his death, including the computers, mobile phones, various network devices, storage devices, etc. that he used before his death. It turned out that there was little information left in these items. Obviously, Richie cleaned all of this stuff before he died, which made it impossible to restore the material from it. But perhaps it was Richie's negligence, or perhaps our luck, that we found a destroyed hard drive in the garbage collection center that Richie had used. ”
"The hard drive has been so badly physically damaged that we wouldn't normally be able to recover data from it, but the researchers at the Institute of Computational Science thought it would be a good idea. So we handed over the hard drive to them, and they finally restored about 200 bytes of data after two days and two nights of continuous work. ”
The symbol of bytes is byte, 1024byte is equal to 1kb, 1024kb is equal to 1m, and 1024m is equal to 1g. 200 bytes of data is roughly equivalent to the size of a text document with no more than 500 words.
And this hard drive is a 1,000g high-speed hard drive. It may have stored a lot of data that is vital to the entire human world and the entire earth, but those important data are corrupted, and what has been restored is only less than 500 words of data.
On the surface, it seems to be a transcript of a conversation between Richie and someone, but we don't know who that person is, we don't know what the specific meaning of this record is, and we don't know if these records will be helpful to your work. The following data was restored. ”
"The first task of life is survival. And the essence of survival is to constantly obtain energy from the outside world to maintain its own operation. When it is inevitable that it will die, living organisms tend to retain their own information. Specifically, it is to pass on one's own genes through reproduction. ”
"I agree with the definition of reproduction in the second half of your paragraph, but I don't agree with the first half of your statement."
"Why?"
"The first task of life is to survive, but the essence of survival is not to obtain energy from the outside world to maintain its own operation, but to discharge its own energy to the outside world to maintain its own operation."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because life itself has extremely high energy intensity."
That's the end of this paragraph. Maybe it had a follow-up, but it was all gone from the world with the corrupted hard drive.
In addition to this record, a second record was restored. But this record is much shorter, and the content is even more inexplicable.
"Can you come out?"
"No, it's cold outside."
"What happens if it's cold?"
"I'll die."
There are only these two records. After reading these two records, Zhao Huasheng put down the information in his hand, walked to the window again, opened the window, let the cool summer breeze blow his body, looked at the people in a hurry under the building, and fell into contemplation again.
"Does the living form itself have extremely high energy intensity?" Zhao Huasheng muttered to himself, "In comparison, it can indeed be said that the energy intensity of the living body is very high, but it is maintained by releasing energy?" It is true that human beings, including other animals, lose their energy all the time, but can this be related to the essence of survival? ”
Is there an inevitable causal connection between "it's cold outside" and "struggling to die"? Who is Richie talking to? What role did the mysterious man who spoke to Richie play in this incident? ”
Zhao Huasheng felt as if he was caught in a logical circle. Since I started to take over this thing, everything I've encountered has been so weird, and there seems to be some kind of vague connection between many of these weird things. But Zhao Huasheng was never able to figure out what the connection between these strange events was.
Zhao Huasheng knew that he was missing a key and a certain key point. As long as you can figure out this key point, everything will be connected, and all doubts will be solved. And judging from the fact that Li Qi left the only relic to himself, this key is only owned by himself. But what the hell is it, what is it?!
A blank piece of paper that was deliberately left for yourself? That conversation you had over a drink with yourself?
What is the connection between them?
Zhao Huasheng couldn't figure it out, no matter what. Zhao Huasheng's eyes began to become scattered when he looked out the window, and green tendons began to bulge out of Zhao Huasheng's hands holding the railing, and even his body began to tremble.
At this moment, Zhao Huasheng even resented Li Qi, resented why Li Qi pressed all these doubts on himself, why he couldn't say all this clearly, but instead made himself work hard to solve the mystery. If you can solve it, it's fine, but I don't have a clue.
Zhao Huasheng tried his best to suppress the irritability in his heart, and it took a long time to calm down. I don't know when it started to get dark again, and the weather got colder and colder.
Zhao Huasheng sighed, closed the window, walked out of the room, and shouted into the empty living room: "I'm going down to eat, are you going?" ”
Meng Zhuo walked out from the balcony again: "Okay. ”
