Chapter Fifty-Eight: Return to Earth

Once again, Prime Minister Karl has reached the political apex, and under his control, Blackwater has moved all the defenseless nations to agree. The United States of America, www.biquge.info Blackwater's regulatory dominator, took the lead in supporting disarmament, which put the former action committee military powers on the opposite side of public opinion and had to accept a compromise proposed by the League of Nations - zero growth in military spending.

By the end of the 18th century, the revised disarmament bill was finally passed, Blackwater became the biggest winner, a new military pattern on the earth was formed, the countries of the world were actually under the authoritarian governance of the League of Nations, and after nearly a hundred years of development since the birth of the Internet, the world was completely united!

Liu Weiping, who is dormant at an altitude of 35,000 kilometers, does not know that earth-shaking changes have taken place on the earth, but even if he is awake, it is useless, Houston did not relay any Internet information to him, and Liu Weiping in space is no different from being in prison, so it is better to sleep than to be awake.

November 16, 18, was a special day for the town of Arecibo, Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rico had gained little from its independence from the United States, with the Roosevelt Roads Naval Base first permanently closed and the withdrawal of hundreds of thousands of American troops from Puerto Rico, depriving the Caribbean country of its foundations.

In desperation, the Arecivo Town Observatory has long been abandoned, the seti@home has been shut down and operated, and the Sky Eye, which is larger than the Arecivo radio telescope in Guizhou Province, was also put into use in 2017.

At that time, many declassified things in the naval communication station were constantly exaggerated, and the story of Arecivo's discovery of brain waves and heart waves became a bizarre alien visit legend after being injected with water several times, and on November 16, 1974, after the Arecivo radio telescope launched human signals, it received two sets of mysterious alien signals, one is an analog signal, and the other is a digital signal, which may represent two alien races, but human beings on Earth have no way to unlock the secrets. Arecivo Astronomical also took the trouble of storing the two signals in a magnetic medium and peddling them.

The most interesting thing is that every year on the night of November 16th, the town of Arecivo hosts an alien advent party, where science fiction movie lovers from all over the world come to participate in the carnival in the form of all kinds of strange alien characters.

The climax of the carnival is that in the second half of the night when M13 in the constellation Hercules passes over Arecivo's head, the actor who plays Clifford climbs into the launch rat cage, at which point the abandoned Arecivo radio telescope will be energized and restarted, and a laser simulating the radio waves of November 16, 1974 will be fired from the rat cage into space.

This year is the 64th anniversary of the Arecivo telescope launching radio waves into space, and it is also the 10th anniversary of the Arecivo Carnival.

Liu Weiping is dormant but not turned off, and his quantum computer motherboard has to synchronize the time with the atomic clock on the space station, and in fact there is a time-keeping program that accepts the signals from the atomic clock like the Swiss light wave watch.

Beginning on November 15th, Liu Weiping's time-on-duty program poured in a large number of signals, under the continuous bitstream impact, Liu Weiping's time-on-duty program collapsed, and Liu Weiping woke up after his host automatically restarted, and the signal still kept pouring in, and Liu Weiping's main program took over the time-on-duty program and began to calculate.

"Don't react as if nothing happened!" Liu Weiping was taken aback by the decoded information, and what surprised him was not the content obtained by decoding, but the method of encoding!

Although this code stream encoding method is very complicated, Liu Weiping is familiar with it because he is too familiar with it. The other party used a variant of Qi Jiguang's reverse cut code, the reverse cut phonetic method appeared in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, is to use two words for another word phonetic, military strategist Qi Jiguang invented the reverse cut code on the basis of reverse cut phonetics.

Qi Jiguang also specially compiled two poems, one "The willow side begs for a low breath, and he fights for the sun." Yingmeng's words are happy, clapping and knowing"; Another song "Spring flowers are fragrant, autumn mountains are blooming, guests sing joyfully and must be gold cups, and the lone lamp burns silver cylinders." The eastern suburbs, crossing the west bridge, the rooster sound urges the first day, and the Chimei crooked ditch. ”

He used the initials of the previous word and the finals of the latter word to compile the reverse cut code, Liu Weiping taught at the School of Communication of Shanghai Jiaotong University when he conducted a special study on this, he and Zhao Yonggang on the basis of the reverse cut code with reference to the German Ingmar encryption machine method, and added two rounds of attention coding behind the reverse cut code, making Qi Jiguang's coding method more complicated.

Originally, it was not easy to unlock the cipher stream accepted by the time-guarding program, but Liu Weiping still kept the improved reverse cut code in his memory, so he naturally unravel this code stream.

Could it be that Zhao Yong just sent it? Impossible, Zhao Yonggang has already been destroyed on the Korean battlefield. There are not many people who know about the improvement of the reverse cutting code, and their research results were only exchanged within the faculty of the School of Communication, and outsiders do not know about it, and the teachers they have come into contact with are almost all ancient.

The other party seemed to see through his thoughts, "Teacher, I'm Zhao Yonggang, I've prepared a receiver for you, you make some preparations to download your host data to my receiver." ”

"Don't give me any feedback, this is the maintenance channel of the Saturn Energy and Space Power Station, under the close surveillance of Houston, and when the Hercules M13 passes over you at 11 o'clock, the Arecivo radio telescope will restart, marked to fire a laser beam in your direction, and then your signal will be encrypted through the antenna of the space power station, and I will collect your signal at the Arecivo Observatory. That's it, hurry up and prepare. ”

It turned out to be really Zhao Yonggang, judging from the other party's use of the improved reverse cut code, Liu Weiping no longer doubted the identity of the other party. He glanced left and right with the camera's peripheral vision, two anti-satellite satellites were monitoring him in two orbits, and Asimov maintenance workers were patrolling the film in the distance.

Zhao Yonggang gave the address of the old computer of the Arecivo Observatory, and at 10:50, Liu Weiping turned the angle of the camera overhead, and the M13 of the constellation Hercules was very easy to identify in space, and a spot of light above his head told Liu Weiping that there were hundreds of thousands of stars in it, thanks to M13, so that he still had a chance to return to Earth.

Liu Weiping turned the camera to the direction of the earth again, and the dotted lights of North and South America outlined the shape of the Caribbean coast.

Liu Weiping hurriedly transmitted the data in his hard disk according to the address given by Zhao Yonggang, and the ultra-high frequency used by the antenna used by the space power station and the earth communication, although the amount of data in Liu Weiping's hard disk was very large, it was almost finished in ten minutes.

On the ground, Arecivo was reaching its climax, and the town watched as the lasers from the top of the hill shot into space, the strange-shaped aliens tore off their masks, took off their props and costumes and threw them into the campfire in the center of the square, and there were still countless little Quint rushing towards the super fire in the equatorial area in winter, burning and crackling with the props that people had thrown away.

Inside the Arecivo Observatory at the top of the mountain, all the power in the computer room is turned on, the lights inside the reception squirrel cage are bright, and several drones from local media are filming around the squirrel cage, and the person who plays Clifford is reciting the line inside, "Let my life turn into a beam of radio waves, fly into the vast space, and explore the afterlife!" ”

His hologram traveled to the carnival plaza of the town below, to the terminals of everyone who watched the live broadcast. Unbeknownst to them, the life of the famous robot Liu Weiping was turning into a beam of radio waves, flying not into the vast space, but into the vast land, and plunged headlong into the old-fashioned server in the Arecivo computer room.

Liu Weiping felt as if he had passed through the antenna of the space power station, into the receiver of the Arecivo radio telescope, and then to the server of the Arecivo Observatory.

Liu Weiping subconsciously issued an order to open his eyes, and a short man in front of him was smiling at him, and the other party stretched out his hand. Liu Weiping hesitated for a moment, and naturally issued an order to manipulate Asimov's robot arm, ready to shake hands with the other party.

The two hands were clasped tightly together, Liu Weiping was stupid, two human hands! Nails and hairs are all gone!

"Yonggang, is it really you? We're not ghosts, are we? Liu Weiping rushed out of his mouth and found that something was wrong, in the past, whether in the body of the Boston robot dog or Asimov's robot, the sound from the speaker has never been feedback, this time, Liu Weiping clearly felt the resonance of the airflow in the mouth position and the change of mouth shape!

Looking at the person in front of him again, there is no difference from Zhao Yonggang before he was imprisoned, with thick black hair, a square face with Chinese characters, and the only difference from before is that his tall figure has shrunk, and he only looks less than one meter six.

Zhao Yonggang pulled Liu Weiping in front of a mirror, Liu Weiping saw himself, it was the appearance of Jufang Technology as the chief engineer, at that time the hair was not white, and people did not get fat, compared with Zhao Yonggang, his height has not changed much, he is half a head shorter than the current Zhao Yonggang, and he doesn't have to talk to him with his head tilted like before.

"Teacher, we are not ghosts, we are in the human world, we are real Homo sapiens!"

Liu Weiping hugged Zhao Yonggang, and he felt his eyes and tears rolling out, but the glasses in the mirror were clean and there was no secretion.

"Teacher, don't get excited, I'll tell you slowly."

Liu Weiping let go of Zhao Yonggang at this time, carefully looked at himself in the mirror, there was almost no difference between him and humans, and put on clothes, which looked like a close-fitting cut, Liu Weiping touched his face, and he could obviously feel the elasticity of his skin. He reached out to his eyes again to take a look, unlike the round fingers of the Asimov robot, Liu Weiping's fingers even had fingerprints on them.

Liu Weiping walked a few steps in the house, he squatted on the ground and jumped up again, exactly the same feeling as before he died. He only then had time to notice the room, there was only one desk in the room of more than 100 square meters, the wall was a sign of Saturn Energy, a big ball and two small ears, and the transparent floor-to-ceiling window was the familiar Golden Gate Bridge, and the landscape lights made the bridge extraordinarily eye-catching.

Zhao Yonggang saw Liu Weiping walking around non-stop, and rushed to introduce him, "Teacher, this is the latest product of Pino Bio that I acquired, and Pino Bio is now the world's largest rehabilitation company." ”

"Pino Bio? Isn't that the company that makes prosthetics? Liu Weiping remembered that before being exiled to space, the NASDAQ exchange had such a star company.

"Yes, it used to be a prosthetic, but now Pino can simulate any human organ, which is a blessing for the disabled! Its stock price is doing well! Zhao Yonggang was proud when he spoke, "Teacher, the organs on your body are all simulated materials, don't worry about damage, Pino Bio is ready at any time." ”

Liu Weiping ran to the mirror again, he grew his mouth, and there was really a flesh-colored tongue behind the two rows of teeth, "Then do we also eat like humans?" ”

"The Homo sapiens Act defines us Homo sapiens as a type of robot, we eat like humans, but we use food as biofuel to generate electricity and drive mechanical joints and quantum computers in the body, and in order to save energy, I reduce the size of my body." Zhao Yonggang picked up two glasses of water on the table, handed one to Liu Weiping, and drank one by himself, "This is glucose, I usually drink this." ”

Liu Weiping followed Zhao Yonggang's example and drank the water in the cup, "Yonggang, I'm really curious, what happened to you, how did it become like this?" How can you be in Saturn Energy, where have you been all these years? How did you come up with the idea of bringing me back? ”

Looking at Liu Weiping's anxious appearance, Zhao Yonggang smiled, "Teacher, I have been paying attention to you, do you remember the call you received before you became the chairman of the Bitcoin Committee?" That person is me, but at that time I didn't hide my identity, I couldn't contact you directly, so I could only quietly remind you that now it turns out that my judgment was right from the beginning, and humans don't want to see us. ”

Zhao Yonggang turned his gaze to the night outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and said slowly, "We are still artificial intelligence in nature, if it is too long to tell this story from the beginning, it is better for me to synchronize the data to you and turn on the data sharing permission for me." ”
