"On what basis did you infer that the source was approaching us at the speed of light?"

Yao Yuan looked at Bo Li and the others in front of him very strangely, it was they who proposed that the signal source was approaching at the speed of light.

To tell the truth, on the way to the monitoring room, Yao Yuan and Ren Tao, Qi Xiaoniao, and some scientists who followed him.

Because this news is too shocking, it's not that the speed of light doesn't exist, absorbing the human technology of the ruined alien civilization, at least for now, it is known that there are several ways to exceed the speed of light, such as curvature navigation is one of the most likely to achieve, so it is not that the speed of light cannot be surpassed, but it is impossible to directly reach the speed of light and exceed the speed of light physically, and the so-called faster than the speed of light is to rely on other methods to avoid the speed of light barrier.

But no matter what technology and means are relied on to circumvent the speed of light, its current speed exceeds the speed of light, in other words, its existence cannot be observed with the naked eye or any means, which is complicated, but it is actually quite simple, because physically, the speed of light is the fastest speed of the entire universe, which is physically irrefutable and deniable, and even the extraterrestrial ruins of the fourth industrial revolution are also identified.

Photons, electromagnetic waves, anything, the maximum speed limit is the speed of light!

All the existing detection methods of human beings, whether they use light as a detection instrument, or use various wavelength bands, as well as the detection technology of the fourth industrial revolution of superelectromagnetism, the information that can be accepted is transmitted at the maximum speed of light.

And once the speed exceeds the speed of light, to put it simply, the various signals that carry the information of its existence are left far behind by the speed itself, to use a simple analogy, if a person yells and then runs forward at a speed that exceeds the speed of the sound, when he reaches the destination, the sound will reach there, and the person standing there will hear the sound.

In the same way, if a person runs faster than the speed of light, then no one can see him anymore, because everything that people see is actually something that is refracted and reflected by "light" from their body and imprinted in their minds, in other words, people "see" things, in fact, they do not really see the object itself, but see the light that carries its information, so that they can see, if the speed is faster than the light, then the light carrying its information has not yet reached its destination, he has arrived first, in other words, The existence that people will not be able to see until the light carrying his message arrives will be able to see it, it's that simple.

And the same is true here, if the signal source is approaching the Hope at super speed, then according to all the truth, the Hope will not be able to detect its existence, unless it stops and retransmits the signal and various beings carrying its information, which can be accepted by the outside world, and it can be detected.

Then the question arises, on what basis did Polly and the others say that the signal source was approaching Hope at the speed of light?

Polly glanced at Yao Yuan, and she said indifferently: "Of course, it is confirmed from the signal itself." As she spoke, Polly pressed something in the void, and a virtual keyboard and screen appeared in front of her.

Several scientists behind Yao Yuan immediately exclaimed, and one of them immediately stepped forward and said, "Dr. Polly, have you finally made this thing?" Electromagnetic induction interactive screen, great! ”

Bo Li nodded, she didn't answer, just looked at Yao Yuan and said: "Look here, this is the source of the signal we received, the reason why we believe that it is a signal sent by an alien civilization, not a signal sent by the natural signal of the universe or a pulsar, the key reason is that its law surname and the complex surname in it, that is, this signal is actually continuous and constantly playing, it is a signal with basic laws and frequency." ”

Yao Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, I already knew about this situation, and then what?" ”

Polly pressed the virtual keyboard again, and suddenly something else appeared on the virtual screen.

"We were analyzing the signal during your meeting just now, and then I found that the signal frequency was compressed." Polly said, pointing to a fluctuating graph on the screen.

Yao Yuan frowned, and before he could figure it out, a scientist behind him immediately asked, "Dr. Polly, do you mean that the other party's signal source is increasing its speed?" ”

Polly nodded again and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I meant, if it's the speed of the signal source that's increasing, then this explanation is probably the same, and then I looked into ......"

Yao Yuan hurriedly stopped: "Wait a minute, what do you mean?" I don't understand what you mean, can anyone explain it to me? ”

Polly glanced at him, pointed to the screen and said: "This is a common sense logic, because this group of signals is continuous, continuous, and regularly transmitted, in other words, the signal source that transmits this set of signals must set a regular schedule, to use a simple analogy, just like our human devices that transmit distress signals, set a few seconds or more than ten seconds to send once, it is impossible to send once in ten seconds, and then send once in one second, and then change to send once in five seconds, I think this should be the same even for extraterrestrial civilizations, after all, technology itself is accurate, precise, and definite vocabulary, if it is chaotic and disorderly signaling, then it is impossible for the other party to reach such a high-tech level, right? ”

Yao Yuan thought for a while and said affirmatively: "That's right, it's such a truth, if the signal itself is fixed frequency, then its transmission should always conform to this law, unless the instrument is damaged, otherwise it is unlikely to change." ”

Polly continued: "That's right, and in my previous investigation, I found that the frequency of this signal is speeding up, when you were in a meeting just now, the frequency of each group of signals was about seven microseconds faster, at that time I thought that there was an error in our instrument, so I conducted a more detailed investigation, and then found that this frequency is still continuing to accelerate, not that we are investigating the error, but that the frequency of this signal is obviously speeding up. ”

Yao Yuan thought about it seriously, the same as him, Qi Xiaoniao also used the thinker skill to think about it, the only exception was that Ren Tao looked bored to the limit next to him, and then actually took advantage of everyone's disappointment, and climbed towards the tall instrument next to the monitoring room...... "I understand what you mean." Yao Yuan thought for a long time, and finally said: "Because the speed of light is a fixed value, it itself will not change with the speed of the signal source, in other words, even if the signal source reaches one-half of the speed of light, the speed of the signal sent is still only the speed of light, you mean that the signal source is speeding up, right?" ”

Polly nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, we all know that curvature navigation is a means of faster-than-light navigation, which itself does not physically exceed the speed of light, but by changing the curvature of space before and after the spacecraft to achieve a method of surpassing the speed of light barrier, but curvature navigation has a great limitation, that is, it requires an extremely long distance of acceleration space, and at the same time requires an extremely long acceleration time, which is possible to enter the curvature navigation orbit, that is, in superluminal navigation." ”

"In this process, the speed of the spacecraft is getting faster and faster, even if the spacecraft has been using the same frequency to send signals outward, when its speed is extremely low, the signal flies forward at the speed of light, and then its speed is getting faster and faster, although the signal is still flying forward at the speed of light, and it is still the same frequency, but relative to the stationary target receiving the signal, the signal itself produces the effect of frequency compression, and the closer it is to the speed of light, the more extreme the frequency is compressed, until the moment when the speed of light is reached, All signals will move forward with the spacecraft, and when it exceeds the speed of light, it will be left behind, allowing it to fly past before it can be detected by the outside world. ”

At this time, Wang Guangzheng asked curiously: "In this case, how can you be sure that the signal source is directly in front of us, not that it has already flown over us and is moving away from us?" ”

Boli frowned slightly, but patiently explained: "Because only when we are in front of it, the signal will have the phenomenon of frequency compression, and if we appear behind it, the obtained frequency should gradually increase from compression to frequency interval." ”

Speaking of this, Bo Li waved his hand, looked at Yao Yuan and said: "Of course, the signal source is approaching the Hope, this is our explanation of the signal frequency compression, and it is just a possibility, what is the specific situation, this still needs you to decide." ”

Yao Yuan secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, for a year and a half, Polly has always been lukewarm to him, nor did he deliberately refuse, nor did he be as affectionate as before, which made him sometimes need to use masturbation when he was hot...... Far from it, in short, this is not the time to think about this.

Yao Yuan pressed his temple and said: "Whether it is possible or not, in short, there is this possibility, and this may be very large, is the curvature sailing?" This is the peak of the fourth industrial revolution, the technology that can only be used at the beginning of the fifth industrial revolution, from the information we have obtained in the alien ruins, the four major space navigation standards, the first is to sail below the speed of light, the second is to sail above the speed of light, the third is wormhole technology, the fourth is the interstellar gate technology, this is a race that has reached at least the third level of cosmic civilization, no matter what, we still jump right away to avoid any possible ......"

Just as Yao Yuan was about to make a decision, suddenly the first machine standing next to Polly, the robot she had obtained from the alien ruins, suddenly a flash of light flashed in its eyes, and then a set of signals passed through it to Polly's virtual keyboard screen.

All these people around looked at it, and everyone looked at the screen curiously to see what it was, while Polly said directly to the screen: "Is it a signal that the alien ruins civilization has been in contact with, and the first machine actually translates by itself?" Uh, what does that mean......"

Qi Xiaoniao read it out directly.

"The universe collects waste, collects all kinds of technology, and collects all kinds of lifeforms!"
