Chapter Seventy-Nine: Nanhe Brand Telescope

"Wait, there's really a star that's so close to Rutan that it's suitable to be a tool star for gravitational lensing!"

"Nanhe San!" Yang Meng thought of a star,

It was a subgiant star 11.4 light-years away from the solar system and 1.12 light-years from Rutan, and it was a galaxy he didn't want to go to.

According to the previous gravitational lensing observation method,

Nanhesan can barely be used as a tool for microgravitational lensing, which is used to distort and concentrate light from the solar system.

And according to the laws of celestial motion described by the little light,

Tens of thousands of years ago, Nanhe San was closer to Rutan! ”

In this way, the question of gravitational lensing has been answered.

Then the most important question remains.

What kind of technology does the Rutans use to separate the information in the light? ”

Although gravitational lenses can distort through space, like a magnifying glass to gather some light,

But how complex the light in a galaxy is,

For example, the light emitted by the solar system, 99.99...... 8% is emitted directly by the sun,

0.0 ...... left 2% of the light is the light reflected by other celestial bodies,

And the reflected light,

Also included are eight planets, a large number of moons, dwarf planets, asteroid objects.

If you look at the light reflected from the earth from this,

The difficulty can be imagined,

In addition, even if it can intercept the light reflected from the earth, it has the ability to analyze the image of the image.

Because the image obtained by occlusion and attenuation in the universe may also be like a mosaic, a broken picture.

"So what kind of technology did you use to analyze the planet?"

Hearing Yang Meng's question, Xiaoguang flickered and responded:

"It's a lot of exhaustive arguments, specifically ......"

Under Xiaoguang's explanation, Yang Meng's face showed a sudden expression,

"It turned out to be string theory!"

Although string theory is very complex, it has a lot to do with the multidimensional latitude of space and the theory of the great unification of the universe.

But the beginning of string theory was very simple.

The beginning of string theory was in the collision experiments of the large collider.

Researchers have found that different particles have high spin and produce different resonance states.

Like strings, each particle makes a different sound.

Therefore, its most basic role is to screen particles.

Especially in the identification of different states of the same particle, string theory is extremely useful.

And the Rutan people have mastered this screening technique,

"However, it is not enough to just screen out, it is necessary to analyze and integrate the information, and as for the method of analysis and integration, ......"

Thinking of the method Xiaoguang just said, Yang Meng shook his head helplessly,

"The Rutan integration method doesn't seem to be applicable to the current human race!"

In the explanation of Xiaoguang, the method they use is very simple,

Because the information screened is fragmented,

I want to reassemble the fragments of countless rays of a planet into a single picture,

The time required and the information processing technology are terrifying.

The Rutans have a certain amount of information technology.

Whether it's global artificial intelligence that controls the climate of the entire planet,

Or can a small light change from a life form to a mechanical body and then to the current energy body,

It can be seen that the information industry and semiconductor industry of the Rutan people are not weak.

But even so, dealing with the light emitted by a galaxy,

And it is still very difficult to analyze, process, and piece together such light.

Therefore, the Rutans have adopted the methods commonly used by humans in software engineering in the past.

Exchanging time for computing power,

In the past, due to the backwardness of computer hardware and software, a large-scale engineering project often had to be put on the computer for several days and nights to have a certain chance of getting the desired results.

And the most important thing that the Rutans lack is time,

Faced with the analysis of this galaxy-level light particle, the Rutans can make their biological computers run for hundreds of years, or even tens of thousands of years.

Hundreds of years is not a long time for the Rutans who have existed for 1.5 billion years.

But in the human beings with the rapid development of science and technology, hundreds of years are a little unacceptable.

To know that mankind has gone from the Industrial Revolution to the beginning of the pioneer space program,

In total, it has only been used for more than 300 years.

Humans may be able to run a computer for hundreds of years, but human decision-makers can't afford to wait that long.

"That's right! How long did it take you to analyze our images? ”

"If it was the planet 560 million years ago,

Because it's a new planet, it will take us 1,200 years to analyze.

But now because there's a lot of data,

In this case, it will only take 60 years for us to analyze and sort out the image of your planet! ”

"Will it only take 60 years?"

Xiaoguang's answer finally solved some of Yang Meng's questions on Planet B,

Why are the human beings so strange in appearance and in their clothing?

There seems to be an answer to why the Rutans knew about the existence of earthlings, but did not understand the writing, language, and culture of humans.

"Do you still have questions?" Seeing that Yang Meng was silent, Xiaoguang took the initiative to ask,

Hearing Xiaoguang's question, Yang Meng shook his head, and then asked Xiaoyi to sort out the theoretical methods that Xiaoguang had just described.

After the communication module is recharged, it will be teleported in the direction of the earth.

Although Xiaoguang just said many theories,

But in Yang Meng's view, the most useful theory now,

It is a method of identifying particles using string theory.

String theory, as the smallest cosmic unit known today,

The analysis of spectra using string theory is obviously much more efficient than that of traditional methods.

If this method is applied,

Then it will also play a great role in Yang Meng's next process of collecting resources.

……

Time passes slowly,

During this period, Yang Meng obtained several sets of Xiaoguangxin's emotional data.

I also learned a lot about the Rutan people from Xiaoguang, such as their development history

The process of evolving from ordinary Rutan life to Rutan 1.5 billion years ago is still interesting.

However, when Rutan finds himself trapped on this planet,

The technology has come to an end, and the history of the Rutans is as boring as a backwater.

And in the process of constant communication,

The time has come, on the 16th day of leaving Rutan B

The appearance of the third planet in the Rutan system became clear in the porthole of the spaceship,

Yang Meng and Xiaoguang were all floating in the porthole looking at the light blue planet in front of them.

"Looks a little similar to Neptune!"

Looking at the planet in the porthole, Yang Meng muttered to himself in his heart, and then turned his head to look at Xiaoguang,

And at this time, the small light is flickering slightly,

No one knows what kind of thoughts and emotions are going on inside this point of light.
