Chapter 162: Communicating With [The Lord Of The Rings], A Critical Moment In History!
After a short discussion between the command levels of the two starships, Guan Yifan's proposal was approved.
He formed this exploration team with Zhuo Wen, a scientific officer from the Blue Space, and Dr. West, who had worked on Trisolaris language.
The main reason why the two were selected was because they both had extensive experience in four-dimensional space navigation.
The longest voyage that humans have ever conducted in the four-dimensional space was the attack of the "Blue Space" on the water droplet and the "Gravity".
But this time the detection voyage of [Lord of the Rings] even surpassed that time!
Everyone understands what this plan will mean if it succeeds, but at the same time, they are also very aware of the dangers involved!
The spaceship enters the fourth dimension from a warp point located between the two ships.
Behind the three people who set off on the expedition, the nuclear fusion fireball of the spacecraft's small engine was burning. As the power increased, it turned from dark red to faint blue. Together with the two large fireballs in the fusion reactors of the two spacecrafts, it illuminated This infinite world unfolds side by side.
The parts of this world belonging to the [Blue Space] and [Gravity] are quickly leaving. After gradually entering the depths of space, the sense of high-dimensional space becomes even stronger 030.
Although Dr. West has entered the four-dimensional space many times, he still can't help but admire: "What kind of mind can grasp such a world!"
The voyage lasted three hours, and the spaceship had exceeded the furthest voyage ever made in the four-dimensional space. The "Lord of the Rings" still seemed to be a point.
But Zhuo Wen became more cautious and was ready to decelerate and make emergency turns at any time.
Just when Guan Yifan was getting impatient and was about to ask Zhuo Wen to increase his speed, West suddenly screamed.
On the projection of the spaceship, the [Lord of the Rings] finally no longer looked like the dots before, but showed the shape of a ring.
However, all this happened suddenly! The [Lord of the Rings] instantly changed from a point to the size of a coin, without even a gradual increase in size.
"Always remember: we are blind in the fourth dimension." Zhuo Wen said, slowing down again.
The voyage lasted for more than two hours. If it were in three dimensions, the spaceship would have sailed about 200,000 kilometers.
Suddenly, a coin-sized [Lord of the Rings] appeared in front of him.
Zhuo Wen used his eyes to control the spacecraft to make an emergency turn (cifj). Under his full control, the spacecraft began to slow down rapidly, then returned, hovering not far from the center of the circle of [The Lord of the Rings].
This is the first time that humans have seen four-dimensional objects at close range. Similar to the sense of high-dimensional space, they feel the grandeur called high-dimensional texture.
[The Lord of the Rings] is completely enclosed, and you cannot see the inside, but you can feel a huge sense of depth and inclusiveness.
In the eyes of the three people in the detection team and countless viewers outside the video, what they saw was not one [Lord of the Rings], but a superposition of countless [Lord of the Rings]. This four-dimensional texture is breathtaking. The real Naxumi is in the realm of mustard seeds.
The surface of the [Lord of the Rings] seen from this distance is very different from observing it through a telescope from a spaceship.
Its color changed from golden to dark copper, and those fine circuit-like lines were actually scratches from collisions. There was still no sign of activity, no light or other radiation.
"Emmm, how should I put it, I feel a little disappointed."
"Yeah, I originally thought that four-dimensional objects would be more... uh, more gorgeous?
"It's really a bit underwhelming."
"After all, it's great that the abandoned facility can remain as it is now."
"Yeah, I still remember that when the water droplet was caught and damaged, it immediately turned ugly!"
"Shui Di: No cue!"
Looking at the old surface of the "Lord of the Rings", the three people on the spacecraft all felt familiar. They also thought of the destroyed water droplets, and then thought about what if this huge four-dimensional ring once had a bright mirror surface. , what an amazing sight is that?
According to the plan, Zhuo Wen sent a greeting using medium frequency radio waves. This is a simple dot matrix diagram, which consists of six rows of different numbers of points forming a prime number sequence: 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13.
They didn't expect to get a response, but the response appeared immediately, so fast that the three of them couldn't believe their eyes.
The information window suspended in the spacecraft cabin showed a simple dot matrix diagram, similar to the one they sent. It also used six rows of dots to form six prime numbers, but the dot matrix in the picture was much larger. The number sequence they sent was connected to Down: 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37.
The other party's meaning was clear and they answered their greetings.
Seeing this scene, countless people inside and outside the video cheered simultaneously.
There is no doubt that communicating with high-dimensional civilization, even in the eyes of the Trisolaran civilization, is the first time in the world!
Moreover, judging from the attitude of the other party's response, this high-dimensional civilization even ignored the laws of the dark forest and maintained a considerable degree of goodwill towards the starship humans!
At this moment, the trio responsible for the detection were also at a loss.
In the original expedition plan, sending greetings was just a casual attempt, and there was no preparation for further communication after receiving a response.
Just as they were thinking about how to reply, the spacecraft's communication system received the second dot pattern sent by the [Lord of the Rings] [this is a sequence of 11, 3, 5, 711, 13, 1, 4, 2, 1, 5, 9.
Soon they received a third dot pattern: 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 16, 6, 10, 10, 4, 7.
Then comes the fourth dot pattern: 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 19, 5, 1, 15, 4, 8.
43:1,3,5,7,11,13,7,2,16,4,1,14.
Dot matrix graphics are constantly being sent, and the number sequences represented by these graphics have one obvious thing in common: the first six prime numbers are the greetings they send.
As for the next six numbers, Zhuo Wen and West turned their expectant eyes to Guan Yifan, a scientist.
The cosmologist thought about the series of numbers that kept appearing in the display window for a long time, and shook his head in confusion.
"I don't see a pattern in the last six numbers."
"Then assume there is no pattern." West pointed at the display window and said, "The first six numbers were sent by us, and the most likely meaning is to represent [us].
"The last six numbers are irregular and keep appearing in different combinations, which may represent [everything]. In other words, the other party needs to know everything about us."
"It wants to know information about us?"
"More likely it's a language sample so that it can be decoded and learned before further communication with us.
The three of them all know very well that they may be experiencing the most important moment in human history at this moment, which is no less critical than the scene when Luo Ji confronted the Trisolaran civilization in front of the tombstone!
