Chapter 352: Second kind of contact!
"What?"
"130 billion kilometers?"
Seeing the results of this data analysis, not only Zou Ying was stunned, but even several older senior executives of the base including Zhong Deyuan widened their eyes.
Because this value is too short and too close for these scientific researchers working in aerospace!
Although the radius of the entire solar system is only 15 billion kilometers, even the farthest spacecraft launched by humans, Voyager 1, currently only flies to 23 billion kilometers from the earth.
You should know that Voyager 1 was launched in September 1977, and it took a full 35 years of flight before it barely left the solar system.
But in the universe where distance is often measured in light years, 130 billion kilometers is only the distance that light travels in five days.
"Quickly retrieve the star map coordinates of the signal source."
"Add the time of the previous solar flash into the coordinate axis!" Old Zhong stared at the data and seemed to remember something. He hurriedly asked the technician to recalculate according to his requirements.
Soon, the technicians understood what Mr. Zhong meant. After re-entering various parameters, a three-dimensional galaxy map centered on the solar system was projected in front of everyone in the form of virtual imaging.
The sun in the center of the galaxy image flashed in the form of Morse code, and then circles of faint light ripples visible to the naked eye continued to spread outward from the center of the solar system.
Starting from 10 days before Chen Jue made an emergency landing on Earth, the light source caused by the first solar flash came to an abrupt end when it passed the signal source at a distance of 130 billion kilometers on the space map.
Next, the special frequency electromagnetic waves fed back from this signal source returned to the earth at the speed of light, causing resonance between the two ancient bronze artifacts in the base.
After seeing the results of this analysis and comparison, not only did Mr. Zhong fall silent, but even Zou Ying, Liu Chengdong and others were stunned.
"Old director..." Zou Ying took a deep breath, hesitating and not knowing how to start.
Zhong Deyuan, an old man over 60, sighed and said, "That's right! It is indeed a second-type contact. The discovery of the prehistoric remains of the second home is enough to prove that we humans are no longer alone in this universe."
"I just didn't expect that the other party would be so close to us!"
Looking at the virtual three-dimensional galaxy map, the 130 billion kilometers marked on it are stimulating everyone's brain nerves.
As for the second kind of contact mentioned by Zhong Deyuan, it is a professional term for the observable traces left by alien civilizations on Earth.
There are five levels of this type of contact, from the first type of contact when a UFO is observed; to the third type of contact when humans come face to face with aliens; the fourth type of contact when humans are taken inside a UFO by aliens; and the fifth type of contact when humans take the initiative to communicate with the consciousness of alien creatures.
The second kind of contact is a relatively rare type of contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. The most famous one was in 1974 when scientists celebrated the completion of the Arecibo radio telescope and used the telescope to send a coded message to the globular star cluster M1300 25,000 light-years away from Earth.
This information encodes: the DNA helix structure of humans, the basic atomic carbon composition of humans, as well as human height, general outline, the earth's population data, the coordinates of the solar system and the diameter of the Arecibo radio telescope.
To the scientists at the time, this practice was seen as a way to show off and celebrate the unknown universe, as well as express the level of human technological progress.
It’s like a poor person who becomes rich overnight. If he doesn’t go out and shout “I’m rich” and show off his superiority, he will definitely feel uncomfortable.
So, 30 years later, humans received a reply from an advanced civilization in this star cluster.
It was a new type of "crop circle" engraved on the wheat field. From the outside, it looked very similar to the QR code commonly used today, but the information translated from it was highly consistent with the information code sent 30 years ago.
The only thing that was changed was one of the basic chemical elements of the body, from carbon-based to silicon-based. It also came with the DNA structure of the alien civilization, the population size of the alien civilization, and the outline of an alien with a huge head.
Although the authenticity of this incident cannot be verified, since then, this type of information contact with extraterrestrial civilizations has been collectively referred to as the second kind of contact.
Just like the solar flash that Chen Jue had caused before, it announced the existence of the earth to the entire universe in the form of Morse code, and even included a message "I am here".
From the first second that a solar flare appears, this information continues to travel out of the solar system along with the light.
According to the speed of light, it has traveled at least 260 billion kilometers in 10 days, and any alien civilization within this distance can receive it.
As a result, this strange feedback occurred, which triggered resonance among these ancient bronze artifacts.
If we wait a little longer, as the signal of the solar flare spreads farther and farther, who knows how many more alien civilizations will respond in the same way.
It was precisely this short distance that made Zhong Deyuan and others feel a sense of urgency.
Just think about it!
Since an alien civilization of unknown technological level can receive signals and also feed back signals to trigger resonance in these ancient bronze artifacts, the mysteries of which even humans cannot yet unravel, the other party's technological level must be above that of humans.
According to the Dark Forest Law of the Universe, when faced with this unknown alien civilization, it is better for humans to come into contact with it as late as possible, or even better not to have any contact at all.
Once technology is crushed, what awaits humanity will be either enslavement or destruction, just like the black slaves and Mayans in history.
This is why Zhong Deyuan and others felt that the value of 130 billion kilometers was too short after seeing it. It is because human beings on Earth are not yet ready to contact cosmic civilization.
Since we haven't even conquered the moon, the nearest satellite, what qualifications do humans have to jump around and show off their superiority in front of alien civilizations that have inter-galactic navigation technology?
…
That night, the base held a special meeting and reported the abnormalities of these bronze artifacts to the higher-ups.
When Chen Jue learned the news, he had just filled his body with plasma energy.
At this time, he had just dived all the way back to his hometown of Chencun from Jiaobenji, and was planning to take a bath and go out to find some delicious food to reward his internal organs.
Looking at the message sent by Elder Zhong, Chen Jue was also stunned, muttering: "Is this suspected news of alien civilization?"
Recalling the Morse code emitted by the last solar flash, Chen Jue knew that this day would come sooner or later.
But I never expected that this day would come so soon.
"Let's go to the base. This ancient bronze artifact, which looks like a WIFI router , should also have a similar function to the sun disc." Chen Jue looked at the video material attached to the message.
That special vibration reminded him of the sun wheel he brought back from his second home.
Previously, due to his inadequate cultivation level, Chen Jue was unable to enter the microscopic world at the atomic level, and was unable to analyze the specific meaning of these special frequency vibrations.
Now that he had made a breakthrough, he wanted to resolve these little doubts himself.
However, just when Chen Jue was about to go out for a visit to the base, the attribute panel in his mind, which had been silent for several days, finally had a new reaction because of the breakthrough of the void level and the version update!
