My Apocalypse Fortress Vehicle

The three of them came to the planetarium, and Gu Zhuo discovered that the starry blue walls and the glittering gold powder they saw in the morning turned into little by little stars at night. Walking in at night, if you don't turn on the lights or bright lights, it's like walking in the universe. This design is really amazing.

Feng Hongxi asked someone to connect the power to the radio telescope. The moment the power was turned on, the entire art museum made a low current sound of "buzzing".

"Thanks."

Chaoying spoke to Feng Hongxi, and then began to fiddle with the console in front of the radio telescope.

She learned those things this afternoon.

Feng Hongxi wanted to stay here and see what Chaoying wanted to do. Chaoying didn't care that he was there, and Gu Zhuo didn't say anything. The two men stood aside and watched Chaoying operate together.

The operation of Chaoying is actually very mechanical and repetitive actions. Press the console, adjust parameters, and observe some ripple images from the radio telescope.

If you stare at it for a long time, it may even be a bit boring and make you sleepy.

"Gu Zhuo, Chaoying is such a genius. She seems to be very skilled and has clear goals. I have only seen this kind of decisiveness in those academicians."

Feng Hongxi couldn't understand Chao Ying's operation, so he could only come to talk to Gu Zhuo.

"Yes, she is a genius."

When Gu Zhuo answered, there was an obvious sense of pride.

"But I still don't understand what she is doing by observing the starry sky. Is there something hidden behind the starry sky?"

Feng Hongxi was no longer lying, he was really curious about Chao Ying's behavior.

Gu Zhuo glanced at him. He didn't know the answer to the question either:

"Maybe the universe is watching everything we are going through now."

He said this inexplicable sentence, and he himself did not know what it meant.

Hearing this, Feng Hongxi smiled bitterly. He was a riddler, and the other was doing riddles. As a bystander, he was much more confused than the authorities. Helpless, he had no choice but to turn his gaze back to Chaoying.

At this time, Chaoying completely ignored the confused expressions of the two people. She was adjusting the signal index emitted by the radio telescope.

Although the radio telescope Feng Hongxi bought is large enough, it still cannot be compared with the Fast radio telescope used by the National Astronomical Institution. That telescope has a diameter of 500 meters and is the largest single radio telescope in the world.

Radio telescopes rely on collecting electrical signals for analysis, so generally the larger the paraboloid, the better.

Fortunately, Chaoying had a clear goal in mind. She only needed a verification. Otherwise, Feng Hongxi's radio telescope would definitely not be enough for her.

She shoots different electrical signals in countless bands and in countless different directions, waiting for a response among these possible bands.

This used to be a way for scientists to search for aliens, constantly sending various signals to all directions in the universe. As long as a civilization receives it in one direction, it can look for this electrical signal and respond to humans.

But what Chaoying is looking for is not an alien life form, what she is looking for is a star.

An extremely special star that has never been discovered by humans, from which no formula can be derived.

But Chaoying calculated that star using the formula given to her by a mathematician. If that star could really be observed, then something could be proven.

Unfortunately, although the trajectory and range of the star have been calculated, it is still very difficult to perfectly transmit the electrical signal to that direction and get feedback.

There's a lot of interference, whether it's interference from other stars or false signals from some quasars. In short, if you are unlucky today, it may take you all night to look towards the shadow, and you may not even be able to catch any sign of the star's existence.

We can only hope for miracles or fate.

Many times, scientific discoveries come from coincidence, as if God said that people should discover this law, or discover this fact, then people can discover it.

Chaoying hopes that if there is really something behind the scenes, the guy behind the scenes can grant her this miracle.

...

The first half of the night passed quickly. Feng Hongxi was so bored waiting that he even lay down on the bench used for sitting in the planetarium and fell asleep directly.

Gu Zhuo didn't sleep. He watched Chao Ying stay in front of the radio telescope, constantly operating and busy, and his expression gradually became serious.

He couldn't do anything to help Chaoying, but at least, he could always be by her side.

Gu Zhuo raised his head again and saw the vast starry sky above his head, and felt faint without realizing it.

This is not sleepiness, nor any other emotion, it is just a strange feeling, as if snowflakes suddenly appeared on the TV screen. After you have been staring at the snowflakes for a long time, you will suddenly feel unreal in your mind. .

It’s as if I don’t exist, the whole world doesn’t exist, and everything is fake.

Just as the strong sense of illusion in his heart was getting stronger and stronger, Chaoying suddenly shouted:

"found it!"

Feng Hongxi was fast asleep and did not hear the sound, but Gu Zhuo heard it clearly.

He jumped up from the chair and trotted to Chaoying's side.

As soon as she came to Chao Ying, she jumped up, hugged Gu Zhuo, then hung on him and jumped a few times with joy:

"Found it, found the star!"

Then, she let go of Gu Zhuo and kissed him on the face.

Gu Zhuo touched the area on his face that she had just kissed, smiled fondly, and then asked:

"What did you find that made you so excited?"

Chaoying pointed at the computer screen. Gu Zhuo followed her fingertips and saw a ripple frequency on it. Its ups and downs were very irregular, just like the trajectory of an ant casually walking on the computer.

"This is an unprocessed signal, an image! It is the instruction He gave us!"

Chaoying said that Gu Zhuo couldn't understand either.

But he seems to have heard that only signals that beat regularly and strictly follow cycles can be regarded as distinctive signals and be paid attention to and studied.

Just like the discovery of a pulsar in 1974, it originated from a magical periodic signal.

But the signal in front of me has no rules at all. What does it mean?

Chaoying could see Gu Zhuo's confusion. She operated in front of the instrument and adjusted some parameters and instructions, as well as the frequency emission display.

Then, she explained to Gu Zhuo:

"These are fast radio bursts, which come from outside the Milky Way and are short-lived radio bursts that generally only last a few millimeters. But the energy they cause is very intense. A burst of one millisecond is equivalent to what our sun has released over centuries. The sum of energy!

"No one has been able to decipher these fast radio bursts before. Scientists believe that it may come from a neutron star, or it may be something else. At least, if aliens use such fast radio bursts to spread information, it is really It’s a waste of natural resources and overuse of resources.”

Gu Zhuo seemed to understand, but he could tell that this was a very cool thing. He couldn't wait to ask:

"Then what is this thing? If you observed it, you must know what this signal is, right?"

"It's a star."

Chaoying answered Gu Zhuo.

"A star?"

Gu Zhuo was a little confused, and then remembered the story Chao Ying told about the Sumerian civilization before, and he asked:

"Is it Nibiru that you found? That planet in the mythology of Sumerian civilization, the home planet of aliens?"

“You can say yes, you can say no.

Chaoying paused, and the excitement just now calmed down somewhat.

"Because Nibiru has been destroyed long ago, what we observed is a very special star, a star that is being born, destroyed, and growing at the same time.

"A time escapist."
