- Under the intensive action arrangements, the "Star Sea Project" led by the Cecil Empire is advancing as scheduled. New research facilities and technical teams are being put in place one after another, and the existing monitoring departments and star interpreters have become part of the new team. The pillar of Antavien in the distant sea sent news that the antenna system was ready. Linguists, logicians, and negotiators from the three empires of Cecil, Typhon, and Silver spent a few days After several nights of intense discussions, a series of "plans" for establishing initial communication with alien civilizations were drawn up.
In order to establish communication with an unknown alien civilization whose social and cultural aspects are very likely to be completely different from the Loren continent, and strive to achieve mutual understanding as soon as possible in the early stages of communication and reduce the chance of friction due to misunderstandings, these are known in their respective fields. The top experts considered every detail they could, but even so, several of the plans they submitted were still rejected at an early stage¡ª¡ª
Basically, they were too eager to present too much content involving the technical field, or were too complicated and complete in the presentation of culture and values. The initial texts were bloated and complicated. Scholars seemed to have gone in the wrong direction at first. They tried In the first communication, everything should be expressed clearly with sufficient and complex language logic, and it should also take into account the elegance and propriety of diplomatic rhetoric, and at the same time, it should also reflect the thorough etiquette of a "civilized society" as much as possible. .
One of the "copies" with the most obvious problem begins like this: To the sender of the letter on the other side of the star sea, the friendly people in the dark starry sky, we are a civilized ethnic group living in the world of "Loren", with a rational and kind attitude , in the name of the glory of kings, saints, spirits and our ancestors, we are willing to respond to your friendly greetings and establish a relationship of sincerity, mutual assistance and peace. We advocate
The copy was ninety-three pages long. Gawain didn¡¯t finish reading it before he marked it as ¡°read, bullshit¡± and typed it back¡ªnot entirely because the copy was so literal that it could easily lead to the alien civilization. The main reason for the confusion and misunderstanding during the translation was that he suspected that the Krakens' still-living communication array might not be able to withstand the transmission of this thing
But after these immature plans were rejected several times, something reliable was finally delivered to Gawain - the scholars were not stupid, they just made a mistake in thinking about the problem at the beginning, and then smoothed out their ideas. After that, things got better.
Some concise and unambiguous self-introductions, some greetings and simple inquiries that represent communication intentions, and through repeated analysis of the limited text sent by the "alien civilization", experts in various fields strive to outline the thinking of the sender. Methods and communication habits, they found that there was very little content they could analyze from those things, so what they could "use" in the first communication was naturally very limited.
Gawain lowered his head and carefully reviewed the documents that Amber sent to him. From time to time, his fingers tapped on the table unconsciously. While thinking and deliberation, he whispered as if talking to himself: "This looks much more reliable." Already"
"The Krakens suggest that we should not send more than one minute at a time, and that the text should not exceed a thousand characters at a time," Amber said next to him. "By transmitting signals in such a small-scale, low-density way, their communication array can Hold on a little longer.¡±
"So we can't directly transmit a long and eloquent self-introduction to the past - the best mode of communication is to have a 'dialogue' with the 'opposite'," Gao Wen said slowly, "But this also depends on the communication with the 'opposite' method. But in any case, the copywriting we have now has taken into account all possible situations. Unless the difference between the way of thinking between the 'opposite' and ours is so great that we cannot understand each other at all, there should be no fatal consequences. misunderstanding."
Amber glanced at the pages in Gao Wen's hand and couldn't help but rub her forehead: "Thinking about this thing makes my head hurt It should be short enough to reduce the pressure on the antenna as much as possible, and it should be concise enough to facilitate translation and understanding. It must be clear enough to avoid misunderstandings as much as possible It is really difficult to deal with an 'alien civilization'. In comparison, dealing with the Anzu nobles back then seemed much easier"
Listening to the other party's words, Gawain just smiled but didn't say anything. Amber rolled his eyes and said again: "Have you thought about how to say the 'first sentence'? The experts have been discussing it for so long. , in the end there is still no conclusion, and now it seems that it is up to you to finalize it."
"The first sentence" Gawain said softly, his eyes falling on the few pages of documents in his hand again.
These documents have finalized most of the text for the first exchange with alien civilization, but the most critical "first sentence" is still vacant. Rosetta Augustus believed that in the initial response to the "alien civilization"The ?? signal has been "self-optimizing" over the past period of time, and now it has become a very stable and clear scheduled broadcast. It is not caught occasionally as usual. Several major listening stations on the Loren continent are now basically Clear communication content can be received on a regular basis, and according to the plan, the alliance's "response" is scheduled to be after the first broadcast from the "opposite side" after noon today.
Bard slowly adjusted his condition. He looked at the mechanical clock hanging on the wall. Almost at the same time, a report suddenly came from a command seat not far away: "The Ancestral Peak Listening Station has sent a message. The signal has been received in Ogure!"
The next second, a voice came from another command seat: "Solin's main antenna received the signal! Signal strength 4, average value is normal! The content has not changed as before!"
Bertila¡¯s voice immediately sounded: ¡°Wait for three seconds before the broadcast ends and send a response.¡±
Bud¡¯s eyes fell on the record board in front of him.
"Do we really want to send this to 'them' later?" An operator next to him suddenly whispered as if talking to himself.
"Just execute it accurately." Bud said with a straight face, no doubts about his responsibilities in his heart. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to many years ago, to the days when he was still brave, and to the days when he was a soldier. The years when a soldier fulfills his mission, but what is different from before is that at that time his mission was to guard the borders of the motherland, but today his mission is
Let the aliens turn off the free mic.
¡°Well, I still have a little doubt and wavering in my heart, but Mr. Bud Wendell has a good attitude.
At this moment, the signal response from the depths of the star sea disappeared, and the broadcast ended.
Three seconds later, the operation team carried out the operation according to the order without hesitation - the information reversely translated by the Star Interpreters was entered into the master brain, and then the master brain converted it into the unique signal pattern of the "alien civilization" according to special coding rules. , and then with the help of the amplification device set up in Cecil City and the "psionic echo" of the Siren Tyr, the data was instantly transmitted to the distant Antavien.
On the other side of the distant sea, the super-light communication array of the ancient starship suddenly activated.
For the first time in a million years, a super-light signal was actively released from this inconspicuous little planet, and reached the depths of the stars in an instant.
At this moment, the command hall suddenly fell into a strange silence.
"Received feedback from Antavien," Deep Sea Ambassador Tyr's voice rang out in the silence, "The message has been successfully sent, and the intensity has reached the theoretical value, and we are waiting for a response."
After Tire's words fell, the hall remained quiet. For a while, except for the hum of equipment running, no one in this huge space spoke. Many pairs of eyes were watching whether the main antenna in the center of the room was working. The indicator light for receiving the signal, and that light has not turned on yet - even though it has only been a moment, Bud feels as if the silence has lasted for a century.
He heard the murmurs of his colleagues next to him again: "Could the aliens be too honest and just turn off the communication and stop contacting us?"
Bud lowered his voice: "Don't think too much, especially about these impossible things."
"Communications may not respond immediately." In the large holographic projection at the front of the hall, the voice of Silver Queen Belsetia suddenly broke the silence.
"Yes," Gao Wen nodded, "This is also one of the plans. If no immediate response is received, each listening station will continue to perform regular monitoring tasks until we take the initiative to call."
At this moment, Bud suddenly noticed that the indicator light in the center of the hall flickered.
The next second, a slightly excited voice of a commander broke the somewhat solemn atmosphere in the hall: "Solin's main antenna has received the signal! It is being output to Line 1!"
"Star Interpreter," Bertila immediately shouted, "please translate it as soon as possible."
The hall that seemed to be frozen a second ago became busy again at this moment. A completely different message from before entered the monitoring range of Thorin's main antenna. This was obviously a response from an alien civilization and had been on standby for a long time. The Star Interpreters immediately began to translate this new content and submitted the translation that was closest to the original meaning to Bertila in the shortest possible time. Bud Wendel nervously watched the holographic projection in the center of the hall. I saw letters starting to appear one after another on the specially left blank image:
"Sorry, we didn't mean to cause trouble to you."
There was a pause after this sentence, and then new information emerged:
"We got your response - I hope you can understand our excitement in this process, strangers light years away, we don't mean any harm.
¡°We don¡¯t have much time.
"Whether you have understood it or not - a 'shock' that can destroy intelligent life is approaching the area where we live. Both your planet and ours will face this shock."
(Oh my god!)
