It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

They stopped their forward movements one after another and observed cautiously.

As the cockpit moved away, the ammonia bubbles gradually dissipated, liquefied again under the super-high pressure, and then merged into the surrounding seawater.

The deep sea returned to silence again.

The exploration ship still hovered quietly in place, as if nothing had happened.

Time passed by minute by minute.

hum...

A high-frequency ultrasonic wave came from the mouth of the leading giant fish, and spread along the liquid ammonia seawater to the other two uninjured giant fish.

And the movements of the two giant fish seemed extremely tangled.

They circle back and forth in place.

Obviously, after "seeing" the tragic situation of their companions, they are also unwilling to step forward to try.

The ultrasound became louder and more frequent.

Under the constant urging of the leader, in the end, the two giant fish slowly swam towards the exploration ship that they originally regarded as a "buffet supply point".

……

"Oh!"

A huge splash exploded on the choppy sea.

Driven by the Hall thrusters, the cockpit jumped out of the liquid ammonia seawater.

Then, the cockpit shot straight into the sky.

Its target is the synchronous orbit of the ice giant.

……

"Successful escape."

"The cockpit has successfully entered synchronous orbit."

A familiar electronically synthesized voice sounded in the command center: "Both pilots have entered hibernation."

Lu Yongchang nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Mao Zhengzhi beside him.

"Let's go, a new research task is coming."

After finishing speaking, he pouted at the holographic image that was still refreshing the data at the side: "Before [Poseidon II] is manufactured, we have to find the law of their language."

"Relying on ultrasound to disperse these curious and deadly amino giant fish, this should be the most convenient and quickest method."

After speaking, he walked directly towards the gate of the command center.

Mao Zhengzhi quickly followed in Lu Yongchang's footsteps: "Professor, I recommend someone to you."

"Language research."

"Who?" Lu Yongchang paused, then turned to look at Mao Zhengzhi.

……

"Meng Lu?"

In the main laboratory, Lu Yongchang looked at the female researcher in a white coat and short hair, and asked softly, "Academician Mao Zhengzhi said, do you have a deep research on language?"

Facing Lu Yongchang's question, Meng Lu nodded without hesitation, "Yes."

"Although I was born on Proxima b and have never seen the earth, I have been studying the ancient written language of human beings."

"I think……"

Lu Yongchang raised his hand and interrupted Meng Lu's words: "It's not the language of ancient humans."

"It is the language of other civilizations, are you confident?"

Hearing this, Meng Lu couldn't help being stunned.

But in the next second, her eyes shone with excitement, and she nodded without hesitation: "Yes!"

"Very good." Lu Yongchang nodded in satisfaction, stretched out his hand across the air, and called up a holographic image.

"It's the sound of a giant amino organism deep in the ice giant's liquid ammonia ocean."

"They have no vision, no perception of light, and rely on ultrasound to detect their surroundings and communicate."

"Currently, we have collected more than [-] acoustic spectra."

"Unfortunately, as of now, we have not found any duplication."

"But I can be sure that they definitely have their own language system."

Meng Lu stared blankly at the holographic image in front of her.

Lu Yongchang's words deeply impacted her cognition.

Amino bio?Ice giant?A hundred thousand sound clips without any repetition?

She took a deep breath, calmed down the shock in her heart, and after careful consideration: "Professor, are you sure they are not shouting?"

"A hundred thousand sound clips without any repetition, it's just too..."

"There must be." Lu Yongchang nodded without hesitation, "They will cooperate with each other and hunt their prey like a lion."

"Besides... even if it is shouting, it is difficult to do a hundred thousand sound clips without repetition, isn't it?"

Meng Lu nodded silently.

Indeed, as Lu Yongchang said, even if it is yelling indiscriminately, there should be some repetitive fragments in the voice of shouting.

She didn't say anything, just frowned and looked at the holographic projection ahead, trying to find out the hidden rules from these complicated sound wave spectrums.

Lu Yongchang waved his hand, turned around and walked in the direction of Mao Zhengzhi: "No hurry, there are [-] clips, you can watch them slowly."

Meng Lu didn't speak, but frowned, flicked the holographic projection quickly, and flipped through all the sound clips.

Chapter 484 A Strange Hobby

After discovering that the exploration ship could no longer provide food, the giant fish quickly lost their curiosity.

As time went by, the giant fish around the exploration ship gradually dispersed.

In the end, there is only one giant fish left in this sea area, which is the leader of the giant fish that appeared at the beginning.

Compared with other giant fish, it is particularly large in size.

Under the observation of the camera, the cracked skin on the surface of its body also appears extraordinarily thick.

Compared with other giant fish, it also has the most important difference - its curiosity is extraordinarily strong.

In other words, it is more playful.

Although the exploration ship has not fed it with cesium chloride and rubidium chloride, in the past three days, it still persisted and "accompanied" by the exploration ship.

Then it kept hitting the abandoned exploration ship with its body and tail.

once, twice...

Persevere, rain or shine.

This spirit can be called a model representative of giant fish workers.

Lu Yongchang was naturally so happy.

Even, he occasionally turns on the active sonar device to add a little fun to this "one-sided" giant fish.

Then, the pitch-black liquid ammonia sea water was filled with bursts of ultrasonic waves, which should not be a good word.

But it provides a lot of audio data for human research process.

Although at present, these data are no different from noise.

But this spirit still deeply moved Lu Yongchang.

Therefore, Lu Yongchang shortened the opening interval of the active sonar device again.

He really, I cried to death.

After setting the program, Lu Yongchang no longer paid attention to the peculiar "hobby" of the giant fish. At this time, all their attention was placed on the sound wave spectrum in front of them.

Looking at the dense spectrum in front of him, Lu Yongchang shook his head helplessly.

Still haven't found any patterns, and so far, they haven't even found any repeating fragments.

Of course, there are many similar fragments.

But it's just that the frequency and length of the ultrasonic waves are similar. If you really want to study carefully, the differences between these fragments are actually quite large.

At least, in the eyes of Lu Yongchang and Mao Zhengzhi, the two are not the same sentence at all.

After going through the initial "finding similarities" link, a little light flashed in Lu Yongchang's mind.

"You said, are these audios encrypted?"

Lu Yongchang caught a flash of inspiration and excitedly proposed a possibility to Mao Zhengzhi:

"The brains of these giant fish can automatically encrypt and decrypt this audio information, so the audio data will appear extraordinarily scrambled to us."

The two hit it off.

then……

In the ensuing time, they tried various methods.

Including but not limited to converting these audio information into various binary data, and using zero huge computing power to conduct unified induction and search for laws.

But what you get in the end is all irregular garbled characters.

"I really don't know what these giant fish are shouting..."

After another failure, Mao Zhengzhi's annoyed voice came from the side: "By the way, is there any news from Meng Lu?"

"Not yet." Lu Yongchang shook his head again, his eyes full of helplessness, "It's probably the same as us."

"The language system of these giant fish is quite different from that of the creatures on earth, and it is normal to encounter difficulties in the cracking process."

Lu Yongchang patted Mao Zhengzhi on the shoulder, comforting Mao Zhengzhi, and at the same time comforting himself.

"Professor, [Taotie] has successfully entered the predetermined orbit." Zero's voice sounded from the side, "The cockpit of [Poseidon] has successfully received it."

"Wake-up procedure in progress."

When Lu Yongchang heard this, his eyes lit up slightly.

"Old Mao, come to work!"

As he said that, Lu Yongchang rubbed his face vigorously, dispelling the residual tiredness on his face: "Let's put aside the matter of deciphering the language, let's go and see the skin sample first!"

Mao Zhengzhi's eyes also showed some anticipation.

Compared with analyzing language, as a biologist, he is naturally more willing to focus on analyzing living things, especially this special life form that has never been heard of!

……

the other side.

Like Lu Yongchang and others, Meng Lu also frowned as she looked at the holographic image in front of her.

However, unlike Lu Yongchang and the others, after going through the same "finding similarities" link, Meng Lu gave up analyzing individual sound clips.

Under normal circumstances, finding the same or highly similar fragments is of great help to the study of the entire language system.

The reason is also very simple.

Language is composed of three basic elements: phonetics, grammar and vocabulary.

No matter how complex a language system is, its foundation is fixed.

That is phonemes and syllables.

The basic phonemes and syllables build a vocabulary, and the vocabulary is then built into sentences relying on grammar.

Thus language was born.

It is also true that finding sound clips with a high degree of similarity has become everyone's primary goal.

but……

Didn't you find it?
