Voyage of the Stars

Because the initial information interaction between two civilizations is only in this form, there is no such thing as sending a sentence or a word, even if it is sent, the other party cannot recognize it.

Just like one person sends a sentence to another person, it is not actually a sentence, its underlying is a series of binary numbers, it is a sentence after the computer translates this series of values, which is the translation of the corresponding dictionary.

The same is true for communication between civilizations. You must know what the values ​​0001110110 sent by the other party correspond to, and what text these things correspond to, in order to understand the other party's writing system. It is true that physical phenomena are the same language of the universe, but the signals generated between civilizations cannot carry complex physical phenomena, it only has 0 and 1, so if you want to communicate faster, you have to use physics and mathematics together, and it is best to have their own display devices and spacecraft face to face to show each other their corresponding text and corresponding objects.

Just like humans and Nair civilization back then.

But now humans and the unknown signal source do not have such conditions, so it is difficult to communicate.

It is difficult to communicate, and there is a risk of being discovered by the other party's large fleet, so what should I do?

Yue Yuan, who had just come from the cockpit to the hall where the scientists were, saw this situation and had two choices in his mind: one: destroy the target, and two: turn around and leave before the other party discovers the human fleet.

It's not that he is afraid, but he is cautious and humans don't want other civilizations to know the purpose of their coming here, and don't want to expose their purpose of looking for the small universe left by the pioneers. That is a small universe left by a level 6 civilization. Humans definitely don't want other civilizations to know this opportunity.

With the mutual discovery and detection nature of tachyon detection, it would be a war between two civilizations. Yue Yuan didn't act impulsively, but first understood the situation: "Is there only one signal source?"

"Yes, Commander Yue, it has been confirmed again and again, there is only one." Zhao Youqin replied.

Yue Yuan nodded, and did not continue to talk, but directly opened the virtual UI with the brain chip, operated it to connect to another department's call, and then asked: "What's the situation on your side?"

His voice was transmitted to another Saturn battleship through the communication equipment he carried on his body. It was the flagship of the third fleet of mankind. The detection spacecraft team that detected the tachyon signal was under the jurisdiction of the third fleet.

As soon as the voice came, the voice of Bu Guiyu, commander of the Third Fleet, came from Yue Yuan's communication device: "The detection spacecraft team has approached, and the target is a detection spacecraft. The target has not yet discovered our fleet. According to the latest intelligence, the target detection spacecraft is approaching our fleet at 8 times the speed of light, with an angle of 45 degrees. Our detection spacecraft team has sent a tachyon signal response to it, but the target still repeats the previous signal form and has not responded to our communication information."

"No detection spacecraft has been found around it! Based on this, we analyze that it may not be a detector, but a ship with other purposes. Broadcasting spaceship! As for its purpose, we may need to decipher the tachyon signal information it sends to know. "

"Okay, I know." Yue Yuan said, and then he continued after a pause: "Let our detection spaceship keep an eye on it, and at the same time, the Third Fleet will turn with the large fleet to avoid its direction of advance, and... let the detection spaceship team be prepared to destroy it."

The purpose of the large fleet's turning to avoid is to prevent the other party from discovering the human body, but if the target detector has warp detection equipment, it will still find the warp traces of the large fleet, and thus indirectly discover the direction of the human body, so it is still necessary to prepare to destroy it.

"Understood! The detection team of the Tianquan civilization has been ordered to conduct in-depth detection of the target. If it is determined that there are no other spaceships in the space behind it, then it can be basically determined that it is not a detector but a certain spaceship broadcast system." Bu Guiyu expressed his judgment.

Yue Yuan nodded secretly. He understood what Bu Guiyu meant when he said that it might be a certain spaceship broadcast.

The tachyon technology of the fourth-level civilization is not suitable for cosmic broadcasting because of its short distance. For example, if used for broadcasting, the tachyon technology of human beings is not as far as conventional electromagnetic wave broadcasting, but the advantage of tachyons is also obvious, that is, it is almost instantaneous within its effective range.

Therefore, the fourth-level civilization can use this method to broadcast in the cosmic region, that is, to launch a warp navigation probe with tachyon launch function in all directions of the starry sky, and then let it broadcast to the area it passes through like a signal source that continuously sends signals.

It is like throwing a light source that shines according to a rule into the dark abyss, and using this method to tell the existence of the dark abyss what it wants to say.

This way of shouting to the universe is much more efficient than the speed of light electromagnetic waves. Humans have also thought of the broadcast form of the fourth-level civilization, but because of the need to hide themselves, humans have not built such spacecraft.

After hanging up the phone with Bu Guiyu, Yue Yuan once again cast his eyes on the scientists present: "Are there any progress?"

"It is completely impossible to know the other party's meaning unilaterally, but we are trying to layout these numbers in plane and space," Zhao Youqin replied.

The computing power of Tianhe Light is very strong. As soon as Zhao Youqin replied, a large number of numbers appeared in front of everyone.

First, there was a large number of simple two-dimensional plane layouts.

Unfortunately, humans can see nothing except a bunch of numbers that look like garbled code.

Then there is the layout of this pile of numbers in three-dimensional space. There are also many of them. One of them is highlighted by the "Light of the Milky Way", and everyone's eyes are naturally attracted to it first.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it. Once you look at it, you will see a picture.

To be precise, it is a three-dimensional pattern composed of a large number of densely packed 0, 1, and 2 numbers.

It seems that this signal does not need to be translated at all. Its content is this picture?

Everyone knows what this picture is at a glance, because it is too obvious. This group of densely packed numbers piled together is a star system pattern. The stars in the pattern are made up of a pile of 1s, the planets are made up of a pile of 2s, and the vacuum between the planets is full of 0s.

Obviously, this is a picture of a star system drawn with numbers.

Not only that, there is another star map composed of a large number of 0s, 1s, and 2s in another holographic screen, but this picture is not a star map within the star system, but a star map of a star field somewhere. The 0 in the image still represents the vacuum of the universe, and a bunch of 1s piled together represent stars, but the 2s here are obviously not planets, because they appear between each star, and it looks like a line of 22222222222222 replaces the 0 representing the vacuum and connects to a bunch of spherical 1s representing stars at both ends.

In this way, humans immediately understand the meaning of these 2222222222, because the number of 2s connecting the stars is different, they form a series of 2s of different lengths, and it is obvious that these 2s here represent the distance between the stars.

Humans don’t know how much distance a number represents, but they can regard it as a distance unit. The number of 2s is the number of distance units, and then compare the result with their own star map in equal proportion, find the star field with the same distance ratio between the stars, and then compare which star field in the real universe the star field represented by this digital star map corresponds to.
