The winter of 1992 was exceptionally cold for Russians.

People always think that Russia at this time is carving up the legacy of the Soviet Union, but in fact, Russia is still dealing with the mess left by the Soviet Union, economic depression, social unrest, and the people are living in dire straits. The aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union is deeply affecting its people and country. Countless people are struggling to survive on the line of life and death, and more and more people are pinning their hopes on the ethereal god.

At this time, the scientists of the former Soviet Union were also undergoing the same test. Due to the collapse of the Soviet Union, a large number of Allied countries separated from the Soviet Union, many unfinished projects had to be put on hold, and many completed buildings were also facing the fate of demolition.

The stagnation and regression of the development of science has led to a massive reduction in jobs, and at the same time, a large number of jobs have led to a large number of scientists losing their jobs, and in that era of economic downturn, unemployment often means that you will not be able to make a basic living, and you will not be able to continue to survive.

Hidden in the dense forests of southern Russia is an astronomical monitoring station consisting of four huge astronomical radio telescopes and a huge antenna built on a mountain, which is the Calivia Astronomical Monitoring and Monitoring Center, the largest astronomical observatory in the former Soviet Union.

The Kalivia Astronomical Monitoring and Monitoring Center, codenamed Base 992, is a large astronomical observatory established by the former Soviet Union, which is simply responsible for the contact between the former Soviet Union and possible extraterrestrial civilizations and the exploration of extraterrestrial planets.

Due to the maintenance of the equipment and its own operation, the Kalivia Astronomical Monitoring and Monitoring Center required a large amount of money every year, which was a considerable burden for the newly independent Russia, so the Russian leadership decided to close the Kalivia Astronomical Monitoring and Monitoring Center at the end of 1992 and abandon its equipment.

Astronomer Ivar, a member of the No. 5 listening crew in charge of monitoring extraterrestrial civilizations in the Kalivia Astronomical Monitoring and Monitoring Center, is the deputy leader of the monitoring team, and he is looking at the huge antenna standing on the mountain peak in the distance, and he is confused and melancholy.

The group leader's words echoed in his ears.

"Listen," said the drunken team leader, sitting down on his desk with half a bottle of vodka in his hand, pointing out the door to Ivar, "the old men kicked us like useless shotguns, and in a week they were going to get us out of here." ”

"But they don't know," said the team leader, who slowly got up, lay on his desk like a pig, and pointed to the ground, "they don't know that this is my territory, I've been working here for almost twenty years, this is my home, and no one can let me get out of here." ”

"They should be the ones who should get out." The team leader poured another sip of wine into his mouth, "Although I haven't seen the shadow of the alien woolly bear until now, they must be there, hiding like a big black bear in that dense forest, you have to hunt it down like a hunter, through its feces, the footprints and smell of the big bear, like an old hunter for many years, find it and give him a fatal blow." ”

"But they don't know this, they just know that we can't make money for them, we can't let them get promoted and make a fortune, they only have this in their eyes." The more the team leader spoke, the more angry he became, but the alcohol in his head no longer allowed him to continue to be angry.

The team leader's hand hung down, and the bottle fell to the ground, not broken, but the wine spilled all over the floor.

"Listen...... the group leader raised his head again, but quickly lowered his head, "let the cubs continue to work, no need to ...... Before the words were finished, the snoring sounded already.

Ivar felt like he was about to fall asleep, and he wondered why he had laid off his listening group. Is it because the surveillance work has not been fruitful, and he has not found anything? Or is it too expensive to start up the listening device and can't afford it?

What he didn't know was that soon, the entire Kalivia Astronomical Monitoring and Listening Center would be abandoned.

Ivar was disappointed to go outside the No. 5 listening crew, it was snowing lightly, and the weather was cold, but he felt his heart even colder.

Can't you continue to work? What did you do wrong?

He fell into a state of confusion, a kind of lost contemplation.

Forget it, let's go back to the listening group and take a look. Ivar sighed, feeling helpless, but he had to accept such a reality, what else could he do?

Ivar walked into the observation room of Listening Crew 5 and closed the door with his hand, and the observatory hidden inside the mountain was completely integrated.

Ivar walked through rows of machines, through the narrow corridor, and after walking for two or three minutes, he reached his destination, the main control room of Listening Unit 5.

There is a very large electronic screen in the main control room, which displays the extraterrestrial signal received by the astronomical antenna.

"Is it still garbled characters?" Looking at the irregular and completely disordered electromagnetic waveform on the screen, Ivar doubted his work for the first time. "Does an alien civilization exist? Am I wrong? ”

"Perhaps, I should try again." Ivar involuntarily walked over to a huge machine and typed lines of words on the machine's keyboard with his hand:

"Hello alien civilization, I am very honored to be able to communicate with you on behalf of my civilization, my civilization has been unable to find a way to keep the country going, I hope you can come and save my civilization."

Ivar looked at the lines that appeared on the screen, and after confirming that they were correct, he turned on the transmitter switch on the side.

Outside the listening group, a huge parabolic antenna slowly rose and fired an electromagnetic signal from far space.

Ten minutes later, Ivar turned off the start switch of the parabolic antenna. At the same time, the machine that received the alien signal suddenly emitted a didi-di-bee alarm, and an electromagnetic wave signal appeared on the electronic screen, which was different from the previous electromagnetic wave signal, it was orderly.

"How so?" Ivar looked at the electronic screen suspiciously, and at this point the translation system had begun to translate the electromagnetic signal, and lines of Russian appeared on the screen, proving that it was not only an alien signal, but also a signal based on their language system.

"Is it a response to a previously sent signal?" Ivar thought for a moment, thinking that this was definitely not a response to the signal he had just sent, it could only be a response to the signal they had sent before, and unless the alien civilization that responded was in the Earth's orbit, it would be absolutely impossible for them to respond to the signal he had just sent in such a short time.

Thinking of this, Ivar couldn't help but fall into joy, as long as it was determined that this was a signal sent by aliens, then their work would have borne fruit, and Listening Group 5 would not have been laid off.

Just as he was immersed in his imagination of the future, the machine had finished deciphering the message, and Ivar was surprised by what was displayed on the electronic screen.

"Hello Ivar, I have learned about the current situation of your civilization, I will help you rebuild your civilization, please don't tell anyone about this, please don't tell anyone about this, please don't tell anyone about it. I will lead you to build a new civilization. ”。

"How so?" Ivar was shocked.

And such a scene is playing out in Russia, in Asia, in different parts of the entire planet.
