Chapter 537: The First Contact with the Star Beast Civilization
What is communication?
It is the process in which one party sends out a signal and the other party receives the signal.
All senses are inseparable from signals.
Just like human language, someone needs to emit sound waves through the vibration of the vocal cords, and another person needs to receive the sound waves through the cochlea, and then analyze the meaning of the sound waves through the brain to understand what the other person is saying.
The human language system communicates through sound.
The communication method of the brain beast in the star beast is also a kind of wave, but it is not a sound wave, but an electromagnetic wave.
Compared with sound waves, electromagnetic waves travel farther and have stronger penetrating power.
This is actually the same as the principle of wireless signals invented by humans.
Brain Beast is a signal transmitter, and other Star Beasts are receivers.
However, the received electromagnetic wave signal itself is meaningless and needs to be analyzed by the brain before it can be understood.
Star beasts are born with the ability to analyze the electromagnetic waves of Brain Beasts, so there is no obstacle to the communication between Brain Beasts and Star Beasts.
Humans can also receive the electromagnetic waves emitted by Brain Beasts through machines, but the received electromagnetic waves are like a piece of code. If there is no codebook to analyze it, humans cannot understand the meaning.
Of course, even if human beings cannot analyze the meaning of the electromagnetic waves of the Brain Beast at the beginning, they can still analyze and decipher the electromagnetic waves, all it takes is a matter of time.
There is not much research on the electromagnetic waves of brain beasts by humans, because it is difficult to see brain beasts under normal circumstances.
Even under extremely special circumstances, if you catch a brain beast, you will only get the brain beast's body.
Therefore, so far, human beings have not been able to decipher the meaning of the electromagnetic wave of the brain beast, and can only start to analyze and decipher it now.
The work of deciphering electromagnetic waves requires enormous computing power, and it cannot be completed by one or two brought out machines.
The machines brought over by scientific research teams from various countries are actually just electromagnetic wave receiving devices.
After receiving the electromagnetic wave signals of Brain Beast, these electromagnetic wave signals will be transmitted to the supercomputers of various countries, and then the supercomputers will decipher them.
In the country that rushed over to try to contact the brain beast,
In addition to the six members of the Planetary Defense Council, there are five other countries, all of which are relatively advanced in technology and military.
The sixteen shimmering flagella floating on Brain Beast's body emit electromagnetic wave signals like antennae.
Countries receive the signal through instruments and then analyze it.
The students of the military scientific research class watched the direct contact between humans and star beast civilization through the pictures taken on the spot in the sky thirty miles away.
In the picture, more than a dozen ships are separated by one kilometer, surrounding the brain beast.
Neither side made any movement, did not launch an attack, and did not show any unusual behavior.
And this situation has continued for several hours without any movement.
Niu Dazhi pointed at the seemingly still picture, and asked boredly, "What is this for?"
"Do you have to ask this? Of course it is to receive the electromagnetic wave signal sent by the brain beast." Eve gave him a sideways look and answered his question.
"Then what?" Beef Ball then asked.
"Of course it is sent to supercomputers around the world, and then the electromagnetic wave signal is deciphered." Eve replied a little impatiently.
"How long will you stay like this?"
"It's hard to say. It depends on when the supercomputer can decipher the electromagnetic wave signal of the brain beast."
"so boring."
"You shouldn't have come if you knew you were bored."
"I'm going to take a nap, remember to call me if you start playing." Beef Ball yawned, and actually found a seat, leaning against it and started snoring.
"I can't stand this guy." Eve was speechless.
"How is the deciphering progress of the supercomputer?" Fang Yuan looked at Zhao Anya beside him.
"Just now I have asked the scientific research team on the supercomputer side, and the deciphering progress is very smooth. The supercomputers in various countries divide the work to decipher, and it will take about two to three hours to complete." Zhao Anya replied.
"Electromagnetic wave signal, release it to have a look." Fang Yuan said.
"Okay." Eve swiped the control panel to display the electromagnetic wave signal on the big screen.
A horizontal and vertical coordinate diagram appeared on the big screen, with a string of electromagnetic wave signals floating up and down on it.
"According to the news sent by the scientific research team below, there is only one set of electromagnetic wave signals received, and the brain beast keeps repeating this electromagnetic wave signal." Eve explained.
Fang Yuan stared at the electromagnetic wave signal on the screen, but couldn't see anything.
This is a normal situation. Before there is a machine to decipher it, all humans can see is a series of electromagnetic waves, and they cannot see any meaning contained in them.
Just like Morse code, if someone who doesn't understand Morse code sees Morse code, they can only tell that it is a string of 1 and 0, and they don't understand what the string represents.
...
After waiting for about two and a half hours, the preliminary deciphering results came from the Light of Taihu Lake.
Through deciphering the results, the meaning of this series of electromagnetic wave signals was quickly obtained.
"According to the deciphering results, the electromagnetic wave signal sent by the Brain Beast is saying... Let us stop scientific and technological research. If we want to continue researching scientific and technological research, we need to become their subordinate civilization and accept their rule." Eve deciphered read out the content.
"These star beasts are too arrogant." Fang Yuan twitched his lips after hearing the deciphering results, feeling a little funny.
"What does it mean to be their affiliated civilization?" Beef Ball jumped up at some point, and leaned over to ask.
"To put it bluntly, it means colonization, the star beast wants to colonize us." Fang Yuan explained.
"Isn't that going to become a star beast's slave?" Beef Ball understood what it meant.
"Yes, that's what the star beasts mean. Actually, I can't figure it out, why do they want to colonize us?" Fang Yuan felt a little ridiculous about the demands made by the star beasts.
Obviously, the cutting-edge technological projects being carried out by humans have made the star beast civilization feel threatened.
This is enough to show that the Star Beast civilization is afraid that humans will continue to become stronger.
Under such circumstances, this star beast civilization even wanted to make a request for colonization.
"What will happen if they are colonized? Can you pretend to be colonized, ask us to research the technology, and then turn back and destroy them!" Beef Ball came up with a very direct solution.
"Impossible. Since the star beasts propose to colonize us humans, they must restrict human methods. If they really agree, then the scientific research laboratories may have to move to the star beast world. In short, the star beast civilization proposes It is impossible for humans to agree to this request." Fang Yuan said.
"If you don't agree, what will happen?" Beef Ball asked again.
"It may evolve from a local conflict to a full-scale war. However, after deciphering the electromagnetic wave signal of the brain beast, you can communicate with the brain beast, and perhaps get more information about the star beast civilization." Fang Yuan said.
