Chapter Eighty-Four: A Faint Message

Ruan Lin's smiling face instantly fell: "Why did you only tell me the news from a month ago now?" Is receiving a signal a trivial matter? ”

wit replied: "The source of this signal is Gliese 667Cb, which is a hot Jupiter. I've done a signal check, and it's currently the 2362nd check, and the results are still unchanged. ”

Ruan Lin was also skeptical about the results, and from the position of WIT, it was also appropriate not to broadcast it immediately.

"Wit, where is the source of the details? Is this hot Jupiter near its orbit? ”

"The source of the signal is in the atmosphere on the perpetual side of this hot Jupiter."

WIT's reply directly left Ruan Lin a little speechless, can there still be creatures in hot Jupiter? Or is it that some kind of device is trying to connect with the civilization of the earth?

What do they live on? Could it be, as Hawking conjectured, alien jellyfish that eat lightning?

If there is war, what kind of weapons will it take? Hair dryer?

Thinking of this, Ruan Lin laughed again.

The results of this search may upend the perception of "living things".

Ruan Lin advised: "WIT, let 100 meteor-class destroyers go to the high orbit of this hot Jupiter, don't get too close." ”

The Gliese 667Cc is only 0.074 AU away from Cb, and at a speed of 6000km/s, it can be reached in just half an hour.

After the 100 ships had just escaped the capture of Gliese 667Cc, Ruan Lin officially observed the hot Jupiter:

The entire planet is a pale matcha color, the dark side is reddened by its own heat radiation, and the thick bands like Jupiter are absent from its surface.

Its surface temperature has exceeded 1400K.

It's hard to imagine that there really is life in the atmosphere of this hot Jupiter.

Ruan Lin still questioned this signal: "WIT, check again, this may be caused by sensor abnormalities or interstellar matter interference, and the signal is separated in the radiation field." ”

After all, the surface temperature of this hot Jupiter has exceeded 1100°C, what kind of creatures can survive in both the atmosphere and ultra-high temperatures?

As the 100 ships approached the hot Jupiter, a message was received once again.

It's just that most of it is garbled, and it's hard to confirm the meaning of this message.

"WIT, separate this message again, the radiation from this hot Jupiter is too severe."

The investigation and separation of signals continued, and Ruan Lin still did not believe in the conclusion that "there were living beings".

He continued to sit upright in his chair, retracting his consciousness and waiting for WIT's interpretation.

After more than an hour, the central screen slowly falls, and the parsed information is displayed:

"Finally reply to us, Traveler, we are the Seker civilization, and the planet you are circumnavigating is called Sekraken, the home of our ancestors.

It is extremely incredible to be able to meet other civilized races in such a long wait!

Even though our last meeting didn't go well...

You must have detected a large amount of radiation from our home atmosphere, Sekraken is no longer fit for our habitation, and if there were no other habitable planets, our entire civilized race would die here!

We've got our next home, and it's not too far away, but we can't get there.

We don't have any physical shape, which means we don't have any industrial and technological strength, can you help us? ”

After Ruan Lin silently finished reading this paragraph in his heart, his face was full of disbelief!

"Wit, how did you decipher this message? What does their language look like? Since there are no entities, how do they send messages! ”

Ruan Lin thinks that this is a trap set by a certain civilization, and all this is too nonsense.

"They sent specific dictionaries and comparison tables, and then this message."

The text displayed on the screen is like a ghostly symbol, and it looks irregular.

"wit, send a message to them that says: Since you have no physical body, no technology. So how do you send messages? ”

As soon as Ruan Lin's words fell, WIT steered a ship to send a message to Hot Jupiter.

After a few minutes, their reply came as expected: "A certain civilized race sent us some quantum communication equipment and some small things a long time ago, this civilized race has transformed these things into technological devices that conform to our physiological characteristics, and they have also taught us their own communication language, which is a benefit of meeting your solid creatures!" ”

It seems that there is a reason why they are in prison, and even the language, writing, and communication equipment need the charity of other civilizations.

Ten minutes later, Ruan Lin's consciousness returned to the 100 ships, editing the message in their language: "You want to ask us to transfer all the members of your civilization to another planet?" ”

A few minutes later, another message came: "Yes! And hopefully it will be implemented right away, the number of members of our civilization is not large, most of them . Well, we all died in a catastrophe, our surviving members are hiding in the depths of the atmosphere, communication with you here is not particularly smooth, radiation is spreading in this planet, please help us! ”

According to their rhetoric, most of their civilized races are dead, and they are now helpless and can only hope for the help of Earth's civilization.

Ruan Lin was still skeptical about this, and contacted WIT and said: "The whole fleet is on alert and prepared, since they are incorporeal gaseous creatures, these 100 ships will come back first and install high-pressure air tanks, and believe them for the time being." ”

He replied, "We'll help you move." ”

They also replied, "Thank you so much! We've sent you the coordinates of your new home! ”

This message is followed by a string of coordinates, and the location is Gliese 667Cg.

They may really be a group of gaseous organisms.

It is not particularly difficult to get close to this hot Jupiter, after all, there is a strong interaction device, and the radiation from the outside and the temperature of more than 1,100 degrees Celsius are not to be feared.

The main thing is to install some large high-pressure troughs on the sides and inside of the ship, which have no physical presence and can only be stored in this environment.

He remembered the A251.5 at this moment, and there was already a precedent for his unfounded suspicions.

But he couldn't let his guard down completely.

"WIT, all aspects of surveillance are carried out during the transportation of these 100 ships! Hide pre-firing signs of weapons. ”
