Chapter 313 Am I here?
Although Chen Jue did not major in communications or cryptography, he read a lot of books in the base before leaving Earth and absorbed a lot of information, including some knowledge related to communications.
After all, after arriving at the second home, radio communications will be temporarily ineffective, and we can only rely on traditional methods to get in touch with the Earth base.
As for Morse code, it is an early form of digital communication that uses binary codes in two states, zero and one, to express letters, numbers and punctuation marks.
This thing was invented in 1837. Its full name is Morse code. It was originally a signal code used in old telegraph machines.
The beeping radio station seen in the anti-Japanese drama extends from here.
Although this communication method has been eliminated from the stage of history, the use of binary code involved in it has far-reaching influence.
Electronic computing technology, data processing and physics applications in modern technology are all inseparable from this binary code.
The zeros and ones expressed in binary
Just as Lao Tzu said, "Tao begets One, One begets Two", the combination of zero and one can extend into infinite mysterious changes, and is the basic means for humans to analyze the universe.
Based on this, we can infer that if there really exists civilization other than humans on Earth in this universe, any interstellar civilization with the ability to explore externally can basically understand the meaning at a glance.
The sun model in the virtual projection in front of him actually interpreted such a magical binary Morse code with the changes in the intensity of the flashes and the intervals. Naturally, Chen Jue's scalp tingled when he saw it!
"Mr. Zhong, have you figured out the meaning of this code?" Chen Jue took a deep breath. The solar flash incident was caused by him, so he had to take it very seriously.
"It has been analyzed. After verification by the base's supercomputer, we got the following information..." Mr. Zhong's expression was equally solemn. He continued to operate his watch. Soon, the solar system model projected in the entire white room underwent further changes.
As the flash of the central sun ended, a long string of numbers with spaces combined with four Chinese characters appeared in front of Chen Jue.
"I'm here?"
"Is it that simple?"
"Then what do these three strings of numbers mean?" Chen Jue was stunned for a moment, then looked at the three numbers with spaces, frowning slightly.
“According to the supercomputer’s simulation calculations, we programmed these three numbers into the program and finally got this result.” Mr. Zhong explained while continuing to operate the virtual projection.
Soon, the three segments translated into numbers turned into a spatial coordinate pattern of the three axes XYZ, and the solar system model in front of him kept shrinking and was wrapped in the entire Milky Way outside.
A thick arrow appeared suspended in the screen, pointing to the location of the solar system that had shrunk into a point.
"These three numbers should actually be a set of spatial coordinate data with the center of the Milky Way as the starting point, and the location it points to is our sun!" Old Zhong's eyes flashed with a strange light.
Chen Jue's mind was racing, thinking back to the solar disk he brought back from his second home. He had long known that there were civilizations other than humans on Earth in this universe.
"So, that roulette wheel is a tool similar to SOS that is used to send out distress coordinates?"
"The solar flash is equivalent to sending a full-channel loudspeaker to the entire universe at the speed of light, telling the civilizations outside that we are here?"
"This is really... too fucking cruel!" Chen Jue took a deep breath and finally figured out the meaning behind this matter.
But he didn't expect that a bronze instrument he brought back would directly expose the coordinates of the solar system to the entire universe .
According to the speed of light, it is estimated that this information has already swept across dozens of nearby small galaxies.
Fortunately, through early radio telescope exploration, no planets with life have been found in the area around the solar system, and no interstellar civilization exists.
In addition, the speed of light has an upper limit, so it will take at least two thousand years for this message to reach the center of the Milky Way.
Now that it has already happened, we can only pray that those alien civilizations will discover this full-range speaker later.
After all, the civilization on Earth is still in its infancy, and it hasn’t even figured out how to deal with satellites as close to the moon, let alone face advanced civilizations capable of interstellar travel.
Once the two sides meet, the only outcome will be enslavement or destruction.
As for encountering a friendly civilization that would help the Earth, such a thing would probably only happen in dreams.
"What's the reaction from the higher-ups about this incident? Is there any response plan?" Chen Jue wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling that things were getting a bit serious.
"Young man, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"This is not the first time that the Eagle Country and the Bear Country have done this stupid thing dozens of times in the last century, such as releasing records and human genetic codes. It was not until the 21st century that people began to take this trend seriously and put a stop to it."
"Besides, it's not like we haven't seen alien creatures before. They are everywhere in our second home!"
"This time the solar flash came too suddenly, causing considerable losses and catching everyone off guard. The higher-ups are currently discussing privately with the Eagle Nation and the Western Alliance, and will announce the existence of the second home in advance when the time is right." Old Zhong patted Chen Jue on the shoulder and comforted him.
"Pre-release?"
"Has the time been determined?" Chen Jue was shocked when he heard this. This was a major event concerning all mankind!
Once the existence of the second home is made public to ordinary people, it is estimated that it will cause an uproar throughout the world, and no one knows what will happen then.
"We should hold a press conference in three months, and then we will announce some of the exploration results."
"I heard that the Eagle Country is planning to pull out even its retired space shuttles . The whole world is gritting its teeth to increase space delivery capacity. Currently, the United Nations is discussing the selection of sites within the equator to build a giant solar power generation system, and our country has occupied one of them." While introducing the latest developments related to the Earth, Mr. Zhong re-controlled the virtual projection and enlarged the Earth model.
I saw three huge orbital elevators on the earth model, and a thin ring-shaped artificial structure on the low-Earth orbit corresponding to the equator.
Although it looked like a belt, the densely packed solar panels on it made Chen Jue's scalp tingle: "Giant solar power generation system?"
"What the hell!"
“Is this an attempt to phase out all fossil fuels?”
