Chapter 3: Parsing Signals
One of the biggest problems with analog signals compared to digital signals is that they are susceptible to electromagnetic interference.
After a distance of one light year, the signal received by Zhu Chitianyan has changed to a certain extent from the original.
However, because the signal is repeated many times, the signal is the same at different times, and the undisturbed parts can be overlapped to obtain the signal in front of you.
It may not be entirely accurate, but it is much better than the initial signal received.
In addition to this repaired signal, there are actually some initial signals that have been sent to him as supplements, and Zhu Chitianyan has received these signals since yesterday, and after a day and a night of verification, it is extremely likely that this signal belongs to an alien civilization.
Looking at the initial signals lined up, there were about sixty or seventy samples, and each sample had a high degree of overlap between them, which is the basis for judging that these signals are duplicates.
It could be seen that the unknown source was sending a signal at a high frequency, otherwise it would not have been received so many times.
After a long wait, BT gave fifteen results in one go.
Of the more than 5,000 matching similar records, only 15 of them can be matched and parsed to obtain text information.
After deciphering it, it shows the complete text of the Magnetar civilization, which is very interesting.
Like the Dome civilization, they all believe that the information sent in their own language and writing system is very easy for other civilizations to understand.
However, in fact, the language is different from each other, and there is no possibility of communication by air.
If it weren't for the fact that Mingxing's Trailblazer spacecraft also had missions such as searching for alien civilization and missing spaceships, it would be impossible to store this information in BT's database.
Not to mention translating the content of this message by comparison.
Even if it is parsed, Yan An can't understand it.
It is not easy to learn his mother tongue on an alien planet, and he now uses a lot of foreign languages such as Zhu Chi and English every day, so how can he be interested in learning a foreign language that may not be used in his lifetime.
However, fortunately, the text system of the alien is included in the BT database, and the text translation of Mingxing is added under each article by comparing the translation word by word.
Because the BT algorithm has not carried out in-depth learning in this regard, it can only refer to the existing translation program mechanism of Zhu Chi language and Mingxing language for strong translation, resulting in poor translation effect and great deviation from the original meaning.
A glance at it excludes twelve of them, the order of these twelve sentences is completely confused, and the translation of words or words is independent and jumpy, and it is impossible to see what the original language is trying to express.
As for the remaining three, they are slightly better, and they look like they are translating Zhu Chiwen into English, and then translating the English machine into Huang Wei and then turning Zhu Chiwen.
The translated content is blunt, but there is still a certain connection between words and between words, and with the strong connection ability exercised by Zhu Chi's language, I can barely see the general meaning of these sentences.
"I am peacefully looking for a civilized partner who imagines the need for scientific development, and I am willing to help promote science, and I accept the answer to the request."
"We are looking for partners in the science-oriented race, willing to fund the development of the discipline, asking for answers ......"
"Finding ......"
Combining the three sentences, Yan An understood with difficulty, this is a message to find civilization.
Roughly speaking, they want to find a civilization that wants to set foot on the starry sky but has not yet set foot on the starry sky as a partner, and if they receive this message, please reply, and they will rush over to help build the civilization.
Hmm, just a light-year-away spaceship sent out an "invitation to team up" to civilization?
Yan An has a strange feeling, according to the temperament of the alien magnetar, they will also have a day to pull people to form a team?
Rather than looking for a civilization eager to develop to team up, it is better to say that they are looking for a living planet.
Organisms need to be in a suitable environment to reproduce on a larger scale, and whether it is Mingxing or Magnetar, the thirst for a living planet is extremely high.
The early brutal expansion of Mingxing was also aimed at those living planets.
Resource planets or barren planets are worthless compared to living planets, and even if those planets can be transformed, the cost of resources required is too great, and it is far less easy to find a living planet.
It is very likely that the Magnetar civilization has been wandering since the disappearance of the Snatching Starship.
Even if the spaceship has a full ecological simulation system, it is very prone to the collapse of the biological environment, and it may be enough for a mutant germ to destroy them.
It is certain that even if the alien magnetar civilization that has been floating in the universe for so many years has not perished, it should have reached the edge of the limit, they will not last long, and they are bound to find a living planet to settle down before it completely collapses.
During the years of their wandering, they must have been doing the same thing, but as time went on, they gradually realized the seriousness of the problem and began to shout with a "loudspeaker" in a panic.
After all, the living planet is a rarity in the entire universe, and their technological level is much worse than that of the Ming Star, even if they pass by the living planet, they are likely to be unaware and unable to find it.
Therefore, after wandering in the universe for hundreds of years, they have not found a new life planet to redevelop, so they can only send signals in this way to the end of the road to see if any "naïve" civilization will respond to them.
Clearly, this was working, at least the signal was captured, and the people on the Dome were extremely interested, and might even respond.
If you do, you're in trouble.
The Magnetar civilization is obviously not a good class, or their brains are definitely not very good, otherwise how could they pull the entire civilization to start a war.
And the situation is different now, the alien civilization has been wandering for so long, and the desire for a living planet is far greater than the thirst for meat of a hungry wolf about to starve to death.
Under the circumstances of the past, they dared to start a war brazenly, and it is very likely that they will do the same now.
What's more, the potential of the living planet is very high, and the ecological environment is well maintained, although it is precarious in the eyes of the "native people", it is already a paradise for the people of the alien magnetar.
If nothing else, their ship must be traveling at a tenth of the speed of light, probably approaching the planet.
The destination doesn't need to be the Emerald Dome, as long as you pass by and the Emerald Star is within the range of exploration, it is possible to discover the planet.
At that time, it will be troublesome, and the world will face not a world-class war, but an interstellar war, a civilization war.
Or rather—racial enslavement, civilizational enslavement.
Do not think that after hundreds of years of exile they will repent of their past actions and then establish a peaceful relationship, as they say.
There is a saying that there is nothing new under the sun, and the collision between civilizations in the present and the future is essentially the same as the collision between primitive tribes in the past.
At any time, the fist is bigger, and the weapon is better to say.
The so-called civilization is nothing more than a fig leaf, and the primitive behavior has been embellished and put on the stage, without changing its essence in the slightest.
What's more, the Magnetar civilization has robbed a warship, and even the conventional-level weapons carried on it are enough for the Blue Dome to drink a pot.
They have the power to enslave the Emerald Dome, not to mention the fact that they may have created new ships and even more destructive weapons over the course of hundreds of years.
If there is any illusion about them, it is to pin the hope of the entire Blue Dome on the mercy of the other party.
That's a bit too unreliable.
"BT, what is the way for the Magnetar civilization to explore outward before the Pathfinder spaceship or warship starts a war? How to judge a planet as a living planet. ”
There is a clear difference between a living planet and a resource planet and a barren planet, but Yan An doesn't think that the way to determine the type of planet in the process of exploration will be to rely on the naked eye.
That would be too low-level to meet the needs of rapid exploration.
So there must be a special scanning method to make a direct judgment on whether the planet is capable of supporting life.
If you want to avoid the discovery of the Emerald Star by the Magnetar civilization, then you have to know what this scanning method is, and then find a way to make the entire Emerald Dome not be found to be a living planet even if it is scanned.
As long as the ship represented by the source is not so close to the Dome that it can be directly identified as a living planet with the naked eye, they will not be attracted.
"In the search, according to the records of the Pioneer spacecraft stolen by the alien alien civilization, the biomagnetic energy capture device is used, and the planet with a certain amount of living things will reflect a high biomagnetic energy, so it can be judged that it is a living planet. The scanning range is about 1.5 billion kilometers. ”
Yan An suddenly wondered, no wonder he didn't find a living planet after wandering for hundreds of years, and he knew that there were great drawbacks to this scanning method after listening to BT's introduction.
If the number of organisms is not large enough, the reflected biomagnetic energy is not high enough to be judged as a living planet.
In this way, many planets of life that are still in the early stages of development will be missed, and I am afraid that the blue dome will not be able to meet the criteria until the appearance of ferns.
