Episode 5: Time is of the essence
"None of you, what do you mean?" I couldn't help but ask. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Literally, there is no 2. That is, remove all the '2's from these numbers. If you look at the numbers again, it's pretty straightforward. Mu Zihan said: "For example, the first string of numbers on the first page and the first line of this text: 101021010121100211001." After removing the '2', it becomes: 1010/10101/1100/11001. And so it is with everything else. ”
"But although this seems a little simpler, I still don't have a clue?" I still don't understand.
"No, it's pretty clear. In addition to the absence of 2, there are no numbers such as 34567, that is, all the numbers here are composed of 1 and 0. So what kind of notation method is only 1 and 0, and no numbers above 1? Mu Zihan smiled and continued to explain.
"There is only a 1 and 0 notation?" I thought and said, "Could it be binary?" ”
"Yes, binary. We are now generally used to the decimal system, which is why there are so many numbers 0123456789. In binary, the calculation based on the full two to ten algorithm will not appear any single number above 1 except for the two numbers 1 and 0. That is, in binary, 2=10. Mu Zihan said and brought a pen and paper, and while continuing to explain, he calculated and wrote to me: "So, the previous 1010/10101/1100/11001, these four strings of numbers, if you convert them into decimal with binary, they will be: 10/21/12/25." ”
“10/21/12/25? Although this seems simpler, I still don't understand what he means. "I still don't fully understand the meaning of this transformation, and I don't feel like it's doing anything other than making the numbers look simpler, and I still don't understand what the numbers mean.
Of course, I don't understand this, but I didn't just say that the contents of this notebook are actually pieced together with more than a dozen sets of such numbers. And when you extract them, it's 1/10/11/100... To the last 11010, so 26 numbers string. Saying that, Mu Zihan listed them one by one on the paper again, and then continued: "If you convert all of them into binary to decimal again. ”
"Then, with the number 26, what can form a language is exactly 26 English letters." Mu Zihan continued to explain, and at the same time wrote a large string of numbers and letters on the paper.
The content is:
A1(1)B2(10)C3(11)D4(100)E5(10)
F6(110)G7(111)H8(1000)I9(1001)
J10(1010)K11(1011)L12(1100)M13(1101)
N14(1110)O15(1111)P16(10000)Q17(10001)
R18(10010)S19(10011)T20(10100)U21(10101)
V22(10110)W23(10111)X24(11000)Y25(11001)Z26(11010)
"What is this?" By now, I've finally learned the truth about this password, but I still think it's a little incredible.
"This is the complete decipherment of this notebook." After Mu Zihan shook the paper as he spoke, his smug expression was beyond words: "As long as you compare these, you can completely decipher all the contents of this notebook." ”
"Are you sure? Although I know these things now, I still find it troublesome to match them individually. I said.
"Trouble? Siyuan, tell me, what is not troublesome? I have to chew a few times to eat. Why don't you bother eating? Seeing me complaining, Mu Zihan said angrily, and directly took the notepad and translated it: "As for whether it's right or not, let's not say anything else, let's compare it with the first page." The string of numbers on the first page is: 102101012101002101002101210010211021100211001, which translates to B/U/T/T/E/R/F/L/Y. That is, butterfly, butterfly. Hum...... Isn't that obvious? ”
I have nothing to say before the facts, and it turns out that this codebreaker is indeed correct. However, obviously, Mu Zihan's next attention was not on me, but began to quickly translate the rest of the notepad.
"1010/10101/1100/11001, which is July, July ...... I see. Mu Zihan muttered to himself: "So that's the case." ”
Seeing his serious appearance, I had to wait silently, but when he flipped to the last password of the notepad, he stood up and said with a serious and nervous face: "Siyuan, what month is it today?" ”
"September 7th." I took out my phone and looked at the date before replying.
"No, hurry up, we have to rush back to the hospital right away." Mu Zihan said and directly put the paper containing the deciphered text into the notepad, and then pulled me out the door.
I, who was almost dragged to the ground by him, said a little angrily: "You are hairy, why are you in such a hurry?" Even if you decipher the code of Notepad, you don't have to go back in such a hurry to show that you are awesome. ”
"You think I'm as naïve as you are?" Saying that, Mu Zihan directly threw the notepad to me and said, "Look at the last item recorded in the notepad yourself, translate it and read it." ”
"The last one?" While following Mu Zihan downstairs, I read out the first half of the last article of the notebook according to the deciphered text: "September7that21p.m....... What does this mean at 9 p.m. on September 7th? You're not trying to tell me it's 9 p.m. ”
"That's right, I guess that's it. According to my observations, this notebook is a record of the time and place of the 'Butterfly' organization in the past few years. As for the last one being tonight, I'm of course just speculating. However, there was a previous one that was February 29, which means a leap year, and that was last year. However, after that, I saw the record for November, and then it appeared from March, that is, this February 29th, the first year after the Runhua year. In addition, the record on this notepad obviously cannot be the record of four years ago, so this should be 9 p.m. on September 7 this year, that is, 9 p.m. today. Mu Zihan pulled me downstairs quickly, and after explaining, he asked me, "Siyuan, what time is it?" ”
"It's less than half past five." I looked at the time and answered. Then he hurriedly translated the remaining half of the password and said: "Warehouse 11 of the cargo terminal? That's the address? ”
"That's right." Mu Zihan replied: "Therefore, we must tell Uncle Wang about this situation before their delivery time, so that he can deploy quickly, and be sure to catch all the personnel and goods that will be delivered at the dock at that time." In this way, he hummed ...... "Mu Zihan didn't continue, but from his smug expression, I could already see what he meant."
If we can wipe out all the personnel of the "Butterfly" organization who smuggle and deliver goods here, even if we cannot completely uproot the "Butterfly" organization, it will at least hurt their vitality a little.
The main thing is, as long as there are these people, are you afraid that you will not be able to pry information about the "Butterfly" organization out of their mouths? And once there is such news, will it be far from the time to catch all those cunning "butterflies" and even "butterfly marks"?
