Earth Era

The matter of the Crimson Heart spacecraft has been affecting the hearts of all human beings. More details about the spacecraft have been revealed since the spacecraft regained contact with Earth. The physical condition of the astronauts, the degree of damage to the spacecraft, the progress of the repair, etc., every message will get people's attention.

Under the guidance of many experts at the ground control base, the damaged parts of the Crimson Heart spacecraft have been properly repaired, and the astronauts' bodies are improving day by day. Only on the sixth day after contact was restored, the spacecraft recovered at least 70 percent of its functionality. This means that the solar exploration mission is finally on the right track again.

As a TV host said, "In this Crimson Heart spacecraft incident, whether it was Zhao Huasheng's decisive early warning, the efforts of many experts at the ground control base, and the astronauts who would rather risk death. The spirit of threatening to stay on the job is an inevitable factor for the continuation of this solar exploration mission. This is not just a victory for one spacecraft, it is a victory for all of us. In the face of this During the course of the sub-solar crisis, our human civilization has achieved such significant results for the first time."

These five astronauts have been awarded numerous honorary titles before returning to Earth, and have become veritable heroes in human society. And Zhao Huasheng also gained a more outstanding reputation because of this successful early warning.

Everyone is guessing what Zhao Huasheng found, and what was deciphered from those bits and pieces of information, such as some trivial messages from Director Li Qi, or some data obtained by solar exploration. What do things mean to human society, and why does Zhao Huasheng hide these things from the human society?

"No, it's not that I refuse to announce my speculations to the human society. It's really not the time to announce these speculations. Because among my speculations, the most important argument has not been confirmed by actual observations. It would be irresponsible to post speculation. As soon as I confirm that these things are correct, I will post them. In fact, the Crimson Heart ship is doing this right now. My speculation Whether it is correct or not, we will soon get the result." Zhao Huasheng said.

So human society is slowly moving forward amid expectations and speculation.

"Watson, there is good news today." Today, Zhao Huasheng received a call from Wang Tang, "So far, the Crimson Heart spacecraft has been almost repaired, although some functions are still not available, but the mission of observing the sun has been completed. It can be executed. In about another hour, a new batch of solar surface luminosity change data will be transmitted back to Earth.”

"Very good." Zhao Huasheng replied, "I've been waiting for this moment for a long time."

"I also waited for a long time." Wang Tang said with a smile, "Has the analysis of the luminosity change data sent back been completed? Did you find anything?"

"I didn't find it." Zhao Huasheng said, "It seems to be just some garbled code, and the experts haven't found anything of practical significance from it. But I believe in my judgment, it will only take a month at most, we will be able to find us from here. Get what you want."

Wang Tang said: "I hope so. You must know that this solar storm event has seriously reduced the material reserves on the Crimson Heart spacecraft. The originally calculated four-month stay period has now been shortened to three months. After three months, the Scarlet Heart spacecraft must return regardless of whether we have found anything. At that time, the telescope on the Scarlet Heart spacecraft will lose its current resolution accuracy after leaving the sun."

"We will find out soon." Zhao Huasheng comforted Wang Tang and hung up the phone.

An hour later, a new batch of data sent back to Earth by the Crimson Heart spacecraft came to the Deciphering Department building. Those linguists, logicians, cryptography experts once again entered the busy work.

Five days passed quietly like this. In a certain normal afternoon, an exclamation suddenly came from a large office in the Deciphering Department Building.

"Bill, let's take a look at these data, these data seem to be a little weird. You hurry up and import these data into the program to analyze and see if there is any correlation between them..."

Almost all the world's top logicians, linguists, and cryptography experts have been gathered here to participate in the analysis of these data. And now, one of the experts seems to have discovered something.

His face turned red from being too excited, and even his hand holding the pen trembled a little. He suddenly stood up from his seat, unaware of the documents he accidentally dropped on the ground, and the chair brought down by his actions, he just shouted excitedly there, until another Logician The expert trotted all the way up to him.

Before being polite, the expert pointed to several data on the file in his hand, and exclaimed excitedly: "Look, after converting the luminosity of the sun's surface into a mathematical numerical description, this numerical value is continuous at different positions. It appears seventeen times, and every time it appears, it will be followed by another numerical value. In addition, this numerical value also appears many times, and there is always a gap between it and another numerical value. More than fifty values, if this is a natural formation, then it can only be said that it is too coincidental, and the coincidence is too unbelievable."

On the document, there are just some messy numbers that make ordinary people feel dizzy, but these numbers seem to represent something magical in the eyes of this expert.

"What area did you get the data from?" The expert named Bill just looked at it for a while and saw the mystery hidden between these numbers. He immediately became excited too.

"Well, the area number is No. 36472... Wait, the data collected in the data No. 36473 also shows the same logical distribution law."

"Okay, assistant! You immediately notify the ground command center of the Crimson Heart, and ask them to send instructions to the spacecraft to immediately point the telescope equipped on the spacecraft at the 36472 and 36473 areas. Probe, don't stop until you receive the next order!" Bill immediately gave the order, "At the same time, report this matter to Watson, immediately!"

Area 36472 is an area about 130,000 kilometers away from the sun's equator. The length and width of this area are both 142 meters, which is the highest resolution accuracy that can be achieved by the telescope equipped on the Crimson Heart spacecraft at the current distance.

The signal carrying the ground command ran for nearly eight minutes in space, and was finally received by the antenna on the Crimson Heart spacecraft. After transcoding, this information is broadcast to the ears of the astronauts in the form of voice.

"Guys, it looks like the ground command center has achieved some results..." Captain Ruggle said. "It seems that something unusual is going on in the area of ​​36472 and 473. Okay, come on, let Let's adjust the telescope and see what's out there..."

The luminosity change data about these two areas was continuously collected, and then sent back to the ground command center, which was then transferred to the information deciphering department under the scientific research department.

The news that a logical connection was found in the luminosity change signals collected in these two areas spread throughout the entire deciphering department in an instant, and almost all the experts were temporarily recruited to participate in the deciphering of these information.

After more information about the region's luminosity changes was converted into numerical information, experts discovered more unusual things from the values. At this moment, they are almost certain that there is some kind of logical connection between these values ​​- and since there is a logical connection, it must mean that these values ​​imply some information. However, because the number of samples is too small, they have not been able to decipher these implicit information for the time being.

"Damn, are you sure these data are still obtained from those two areas? Why did the logical connection between the values ​​disappear and they become garbled? What? Are you sure? The instrument is not wrong? Well, then Continue to switch to the next target for observation."

I don't know why, the signals obtained from these two areas, which originally had a logical structure, became garbled again. Experts have no choice but to wait. After restarting the observation, the experts waited a full day for the third area where a logic signal was sent.

This area is numbered 59380. The information of area 59380 disappeared again after maintaining a logical connection, but at this time, the next area with similar characteristics was discovered.

No. 59380, No. 61145, No. 63289... One area after another was discovered. All this information was collected by the telescope equipped on the Crimson Heart spacecraft. Then sent back to Earth.

All the experts were conducting induction and summarization and logical analysis all night long. With the help of a powerful electronic computing system and a huge number of samples, the experts' research has finally made a breakthrough.

So, in the end, a stack of documents that was not too thick was handed over to Zhao Huasheng.

"This is the signal that the experts deciphered from the sun," Mondro said.
